First off, I know I was off about the Biel thing (more about that later), and I haven’t posted much, but as an apology, I am going to run down the big news stories of the past few days I didn’t post
Starting from…..NOW!
Biel out for WW, Gibson in for GL?
Yes, even after I said it was confirmed by my source, the Wonder Woman role is still vacant as, Jessica Biel has rejected the role as the Amazon. No reason has been given yet, but my source, as a comeback to the shock revealed to me it might have been an argument between Biel and director George Miller. But don’t worry Prince fans, another actress who could be in the role is Australian Victoria Hill who certainly looks the part, as you will see. But the more important thing is, noone’s heard of her. We’ll be checking up on this very closely and I’ll be having my guy on speed dial to find out.
Over on the side of John Stewart, ‘Back Room Chatter‘ is saying the man now in the running is Tyrese Gibson for the role of Green Lantern. The Transformers star might be seen as a front runner to the role but we said that about Biel, didn’t we?
At one point or another, I will give you a run down of who is, at this stage in time, in the Justice League movie and who might be next to join the cast, but all I’m saying right now is…take whatever you’ve heard before and never believe a word of it again. Even Variety.
Bionic Woman makes good on it’s debut
In a move that surprised the hell out of me, The Bionic Woman got a huge 13.9 million people watching on it’s NBC debut on Thursday along with
The Michelle Ryan fronted drama based on the 70’s TV show was the biggest audience for the time slot that night and was NBC’s biggest rating for a midweek premiere since The West Wing way back in 1999.
So, why was I surprised? Ryan. If you ever watched EastEnders, you’d know she was probably one of the worst actresses on the show bar none. And then I saw her in the original Bionic Woman pilot, which pretty much changed my mind completly. Between leaving London and going to America to shoot the show, she done damn good for herself. Which leaves the hype machine to follow over here when it debuts next year on ITV2.
Oprah Wimfrey is rich. Damn rich.
Once again, Oprah is top of the Forbes online celebrity rich list making $260m (£128m) between June 2006 and June 2007. In January of this year, she was once again named the richest woman in the world by the same website.
Her highest contender, Jerry Seinfeld, who basically makes his money from Seinfeld episodes being shown everywhere, was $200 million below Oprah at ‘only’ $60 million.
Basically, this is her world. We’re only pesants.
Sutherland convicted of DUI
In what some would call the shocker of the week, Jack Bauer aka Donald Suntherland could be sent to jail if convicted of Drinking under Influence. But, considering it’s his second conviction, it might not be that much of a shock.
An LA City spokesman said that he would only get 4 months because
Normally, we’d pretty much be saying his career is over, LA are slackers etc but the fact is, this didn’t effect him when he was starting 24, highly doubt it will now.
And with that, I’ll end with something on a sort of sad note. Lois Maxwell, well known for playing Miss Moneypenny in many James Bond films, passed away at the age of 80. I may have not seen many past Bond films, but the character was pratically made an icon by her and will pretty much be in the hearts of many Bond fans in years to come.
