The Devil Wears Prada costars Stanley Tucci to Anne Hathaway: "What do you expect? You're flinging those melons around like it's harvest season." Flinging! A couple more items like this and "Page Six" is out of the doghouse.

Length of "Pirates"<< previous | next >>Wrong!!

And fine melons they are. Ripe for the picking.

Too bad Anne didn't deliver a swift kick to the you-know-where and thank Stanley for reminding her that it was grape stomping season as well.

I think they really missed a big marketing opportunity with Brokeback Mountain by failing to promote it with the line "See Princess Diaries' Boobies!"

Okay, it would have hurt their Oscar chances, but it's not like that worked out for them anyway.

By the way, as long as we're being offensively trivial, every time I see that Wassup Rockers banner out of the corner of my eye, I think it's a documentary about Anne Frank. It totally has the look of that kind of movie, and that famous picture of her.

Looks like Enrique Iglesias to me.

Also, didn't anybody THINK about the slogan "Ten years later, Larry Clark creates a new generation of KIDS"?

I've known lots of divorced middle-aged guys who did that.

The banner bears a striking resemblance to the poster for "The Blair Witch Project"!

:Hangs head in shame: I went to the video store to rent "Havoc" speficially for Ms. Hathaway's, uh, produce. Perhaps the best $3 I ever spent. ;)

I netflixed Havoc, knowing all along that I probably wouldn't watch the entire movie. In my defense, the movie was terrible and didn't merit a full viewing.

Sure looks to me like one of those "he's playing a gay character, so we gotta remind people he really likes girls" items we've seen in a gazillon gossip columns...

Ahh, Havoc. For anyone that hasn't seen the film yet: wait for one of the dozens of airings on Starz-HD each month. The high-definition version of the Princess Mammaries is absolutely breathtaking (and well worth the wait).

The film itself is a joke. Like THIRTEEN, it's essentailly a theatrical version of an after-school special with a higher budget and better soundtrack. However, the "sofa scene" alone is worth every second of cliched teen drama you'll need to sit through.

Side note: I'm still getting over the fact that Stephen Gaghan (Traffic, Syriana) wrote the film.

Don't forget, Gaghan also directed that terrible movie with Katie Holmes. Gotta say though, Syriana and Traffic easily atone for any and all past and future failures this guy writes and/or directs.
