Source: Yahoo! News: Entertainment News | 26 Oct 2009 | 12:37 am Eek! Sasha and Malia Aren't Vaccinated from H1N1![]() In a piece of anxiety inducing news, Fox News reports that Sasha and Malia Obama haven't been vaccinated against swine flu. The CDC recommends that children 6 months through 18 years old receive the vaccination but a shortage has resulted in only those with chronic medical conditions getting it. Predictably, there's a conspiracy buried here, according to the people who allege those kinds of things. But pardon us if we're concerned for the girls. With sneezy Chuck Todd always hanging around, you can never be too safe. [Row 2, Seat 4] Read more posts by Adam K.

The movie is an adaptation of a French flick called Le diner de cons. It revolves around a group of friends who have a weekly dinner where each invites the stupidest person he can find. It's unclear if Livingston will play an idiot or a guy who makes fun of idiots, but he's got so much range he could he could play either. Take that Peter O'Toole. [Variety] Unknown Blonde Girls: January Jones and Diane Kruger will star alongside Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male, the story of a man who wakes up from a coma to find that someone else has assumed his identity. No one believes him, including his wife (Jones), so he teams up with a Berlin taxi driver (Kruger) to help convince her. And now we're convinced, January Jones only likes older men.

In Nola Rising, a PI and an ex-con (who can be inhabited by ghosts) help the citizens--and ghosts--of New Orleans with their problems. Ordinary People focuses on a twenty-something career couple with four kids. It's promising--an African-American-focused comedy described as Mad About You meets The Cosby Show. And as long as they find a way to cast Bobb'e J. Thompson, this thing's going to be a hit.

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 25 Oct 2009 | 11:34 pm NYPD Cars Are Ready To Rumble![]() If you're walking down the street this week and hear a cop car coming, you might just feel it too. That's "The Rumbler." Some 25 police cars have already been fitted with the device, which gives off a low-frequency sound wave producing vibrations that can be felt 200 feet away. The idea is to give pedestrians and hearing-impaired (or volume enhanced) drivers another way to figure out that cop cars will run them over if they don't move. About 100 more rumblers will be installed tomorrow as police spend the next week making jokes about the vibrators in their cars. [NY1] Read more posts by Adam K.

In a badass letter to Scientology’s national spokesman Tommy Davis (who hates Martin Bashir), the filmmaker lays out the reasons why. It all started when a San Diego church publicly supported Prop 8. Haggis asked Davis to denounce its actions but Davis never went through with it. Then the already-pissed Haggis read an interview in which Davis denied Scientology's practice of "disconnection" (forcing members to cut off communication with loved ones who oppose Scientology). But Haggis knew disconnection first-hand. His wife was forced to cut ties with her parents. The last straw came when Haggis read about the smear tactics Scientology used against its former members. That's when he knew it was time to go. And so, after writing this letter, I am fully aware that some of my friends may choose to no longer associate with me, or in some cases work with me. I will always take their calls, as I always took yours. However, I have finally come to the conclusion that I can no longer be a part of this group. Frankly, I had to look no further than your refusal to denounce the church’s anti-gay stance, and the indefensible actions, and inactions, of those who condone this behavior within the organization. I am only ashamed that I waited this many months to act. I hereby resign my membership in the Church of Scientology. If we may pass on a suggestion Paul: Learn to sleep with your eyes open.

Kenny Ortega, who choreographed Dirty Dancing and directed all three High School Musicals, was fighting with Paramount over the budget (he wanted $30 million; the studio wants $25 million) and tone (he wanted cute and dance-y; the studio wants edgy and dramatic).

Though they've denied knowledge of the Ponzi scheme since it was uncovered, the Picowers have been sued in an attempt to recoup the almost $7 billion they withdrew from their account with Madoff over the years. Perhaps ironically, Picower and his wife were behind the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT and the Picower Foundation, which supports education, medical research and human rights causes.

That's fine, but then the item goes on to suggest the following based on assumptions only: 1. That Angelina Jolie grabbed Jonny Lee Miller's scrotum while they were married. 2. That Jonny Lee Miller would physically harm Sienna Miller if she accidentally grabbed his actual scrotum, instead of his thigh. (To be fair, it is he who suggests that.) 3. That Sienna Miller's ex-boyfriends Jude Law and Daniel Craig were responsible for teaching Sienna how to grab a man's thigh in such a way that it looks like she's grabbing his scrotum. And then Sienna weighs in about the British class system. Basically, it's the best gossip item of all time and we want to marry it.

One would think an official spokesperson for Scientology would know enough about Martin Bashir's particular brand of ambush interview to never agree to be in the same room with the Nightline correspondent ever for any reason, but one would be wrong. As part of a special Nightline investigation into the religion, Bashir interviewed spokesperson Tommy Davis. All was well until Bashir asked Davis a pretty basic question about Xenu, and he flipped out, claiming that asking a question like that was extremely offensive to Scientology members. It's kind of a genius strategy, actually, since nobody wants to offend anyone! When Bashir was like "What?" and tried to re-frame the question, Davis got up, dramatically removed his microphone, and walked out of the interview in the most indignant Scientologist way possible. Presumably, Bashir can get his question answered just by dropping by the Celebrity Centre and buying five hundred thousand dollar's worth of classes. The good part starts exactly 3 minutes in.
