Speaking of villains...
No critic was more pleased with the performance of Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight than his own father. As I told you a couple nights ago, Kim Ledger and his family traveled from Australia to New York City to attend the premiere of The Dark Knight and told us the movie and his sons performance specifically was “everything we hoped for and more.” I’m not lying to you when I say the first time I read that today I got a little lump in my throat. It must be quite an experience for Heath’s family to watch that movie.
CSI just won’t be the same without him. William Peterson, who plays Gil Grissom on the original (and the best) CSI will be leaving the show after the 10th episode of the upcoming season. He’ll still be involved with the show as an executive producer but a rep from CBS tells me that when they need the character on the show, he’ll be available.
In the ongoing saga of Madonna’s brother’s tell-all book, yesterday on Good Morning America, he said Madonna was so paranoid he would tear her apart, she tried to turn their father against him. He also mentioned their was a specific part in Madonna’s life where he realized she only cared about herself, “If you've seen the movie Truth or Dare, where she's rolling around on my mother's gave, I thought to myself, 'OK, there are no boundaries now, my mother has become a bit player in her life.' And it hurt me and my opinion of her altered at that moment."
If you enjoyed seeing contestants rock out on guitars or pianos on the previous season of American Idol, you’ll be glad to hear that feature is coming back. Producers also tell me you’ll see more half-hour results shows and the audition phase will get to the top singers much more quickly. By the way, auditions for season 8 start tomorrow in San Francisco.
STAR Artist Natasha Bedingfield is donating a live version of a song from her latest album to benefit the VH1 Save the Music Foundation. Wanna get it? Text the word “SAVE” to 66555 from your LG phone. It’ll cost you $2.99.
STAR Artist Matchbox Twenty wants you to decide which songs to include on their upcoming live release. The catch? The songs and voting are only available on a USB wristband which you can plug into your computer. You can order it online from MatchboxTwenty.com.
Most men would accept Megan Fox for all her minor imperfections, but director Michael Bay wanted her to pack on a few pounds for the Transformers sequel after she shed weight for another movie role. She had to gain 10 pounds in three weeks. The sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, also starring Shia LaBeouf, hits theaters next year.
Eddie Murphy’s latest "comedy", Meet Dave, opened with $5.3 million this past weekend. That's obviously a disaster. To show you just how bad a disaster it was, here's a list of 50 (mostly bad) movies that opened better, click here.
Briefly:
STAR Artist John Mayer’s writer’s block is over, thanks to new girlfriend Jennifer Aniston. She’s inspired a new song, "Moonbeam," that’s about his love for Jen. He’s planning to release the romantic song soon.
STAR Artist Barenaked Ladies singer Steven Page was arrested in Fayetteville, N.Y and charged with criminal possession of cocaine and marijuana. The 38-year-old Page was released after coughing up $10,000 bail. Oops.
Amy Poehler is in talks to star in NBC's hugely anticipated spinoff of The Office, per the Hollywood Reporter.
