I saw an item online that said there are conflicting rumors going around. One says that Cheryl Crow has been going to a fertility clinic and denies it. The other says that Lance broke it off with her before Christmas and that his family is trying to get him to reconsider. Either or both could be wrong. We'll have to wait and see. I personally hope they are NOT breaking up.

I have a problem with Narnia falling under the "live action" umbrella. A few minutes of filming in a big old house, and the other 2 hours in front of a green screen, does not constitute "live action" in my opinion. I'm sick of all the CGI-ing going on in movies nowadays. What ever happened to ACTING??

and i guess Cary Grant really had that plane go over his head in North by Northwest or that all those scenes pre 1960 when people are "driving" were real or that the - the core of theatre IS ACTING ON A SET and the ACTORS in Narnia are doing nothing different than people did 50 years ago. The technology may have changed but the blue screens/rear projection concept where the actors are not in the place you are seeing have always been around, and i dare anyone to lay claim that Cary Grant, Bogart or John Wayne were not acting in a live action movie when doing screens with a blank set

I'm really sick of all the CGI/Industrial Light and Magic/green screen crap, too. It has altered the industry in a very bad way. People who have been in the industry for a long time always kvetch about how these technologies have harmed filmmaking in almost every way--except insofar as they keep techno-geeks employed. They say it's like a whole other business than it was even 30 years ago. Great screenwriters be damned! Visionary directors be damned! People who take chances with perspective be damned1 Give us green screens and CGI! It's sad. So sad. As Robert Evans has said, if the script of Chinatown, probably the greatest screenplay of all time, crossed the desks at Paramount today, it would never be produced... Reese Witherspoon's speech last night was great! I think she'll be a great Oscar winner. I've never heard of Junebug. Hoffman or Ledger for best actor? Hard choice. I think awarding best screenplay to Crash is outlandish; the film had very good acting, but the script was a mess.

I had never heard of Junebug either. I thought Amy Adams was gracious and genuine in her acceptance speech. I fell asleep before Reeses' speech.

I can't find it, but she said, "Oh it's so nice to win this award. I love critics....Well, this year I do. Or at least half of this year I do. It's strange to see you guys out and about in the light!" etc. She was very funny and looked great.

Her speech was very cute, just like her. She did look very good. There was a whole lot of casual dress going on, especially with the guys, the whole scruffy Hoffman/Giamatti thing. Clooney looked good as always.

Good point Legal. Still, these wonderful "fight scenes" in films like LOTR and Matrix look silly to me. I don't think Ben Hur was done with CGI, but I can see your point about the car scenes in those old 50's movies. Sure special effects are cool, but when they overtake most of the acting part of a movie....I have problems with it.

Report: Jolie, Pitt expecting child LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Angelina Jolie is expecting a baby this summer with Brad Pitt, according to a report on People magazine's Web site. "Yes, I'm pregnant," the magazine quoted Jolie as telling a charity aid worker Monday in the Dominican Republic, where she is filming "The Good Shepherd" with Matt Damon. The report says the pregnancy was confirmed by representatives of both stars but does not identify them by name. The rest of the story http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/01/11/jolie.ap/index.html

E-online is saying the same thing. They will have a beautiful child! Maybe now they can admit that they are together! BABY MAKES FIVE! Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt expecting a baby together, People magazine reports. The child will be the first biological offspring for Jolie, who previously adopted Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 1, and for Pitt, who has been taking steps to legally adopt the Jolie children and change their names to Jolie-

I just don't like the fact that it seems as though Angelina was the reason for his split from Jennifer Aniston. Also, I remember Angelina Jolie being quoted as saying that she would NEVER sleep with someone else's man; and that she would never be with someone who cheated on their woman with her. Well, she seems to have changed her mind a little bit. And the two of them dancing around and not just coming out and saying they're together...it's so stupid. If there's nothing wrong with this union, then why not just come right out with it. And lastly, at the risk of sounding old-fashioned, I'm so sick and tired of these out-of-wedlock children. Why not just get married and THEN have the children? I don't know...I guess it's the way I was raised.

Very interesting Bandit. I can appreciate your point of view but I don't agree. I think the reason for them not coming out with their relationship, even though we all know, is because they want to keep some sort of privacy about their lives. And as the mother of an out-of-wedlock child, it is not the way I had planned it but I wouldn't change it for the world! Unfortunately my son's father was not the man I wanted to marry but I think that Angelina and Brad will get married. They seem very connected. Sometimes we marry the wrong person, thank goodness for second chances. And I think it's lovely that they are both so committed to these beautiful children. Yay for them!

I do think that it is tacky to form a relationship with someone who is not separated, but I think that the two people in a relationship are the ones that are ultimately responsible for its success or failure. It was up to Brad and Jennifer to stay together if they wanted to. I also don’t think that they need to announce their relationship to the world, anymore than I would take out an ad in the paper to announce a change in mine. At the same time, I appreciate your candor in explaining your feelings.

quote:It was up to Brad and Jennifer to stay together if they wanted to.
Well, I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to stay with someone who cheated on me. I think this was out of Jennifer's hands the minute he slipped into Angelina's bed. I don't think they need to "announce their relationship" to the world. Just not go to ridiculous lengths to not be seen together. Such as arriving at premieres seperately and standing on opposite sides of the room at press events. It's insulting to our intelligence. Although, I do appreciate the way he (and she for that matter) have devoted themselves to those children. That is commendable.

Rumor was that Brad and Jennifer were already having trouble, so I honestly think things were on the rocks before he ever met Angelina. It's not all her fault. And who's to say what kind of relationship they had before Brad split with Jen? Maybe they were just friends? We have no proof they were lovers. I'm simply thrilled for them both. Since she became a mom I have grown to respect her so much and I've always adored him. He's always talked about wanting kids and now he finally has them. And I could care less if they get married. That piece of paper doesn't seem to mean a whole lot in Hollywood. Look at Renee Z and Kenny Chesney compared with Goldie and Kurt who never got married.

CUT OFF: The Website dirtycolin.com, which claimed to be selling Colin Farrell's sex tape with former girlfriend Nicole Narain for $14.95, was shut down by the actor's lawyers Tuesday after about two and a half hours of operation. So close and yet so far!!!! I want this video!
