PARTY OF FIVE REUNION: MEAN GIRL CHABERT TO DO HEWITT'S GHOST.
On the season premiere of the Ghost Whisperer, Lacey Chabert (Lost in Space, Dirty Deeds) will guest star, with her Former Fox Friend for a two parter. The two girls look and act so much alike, it was difficult to tell the two apart, on set.
The only real difference was their voice. Chabert’s voice was higher, in a Sarah Michelle Gellar sort of way. She also dressed more plainly (leather jacket and tight jeans.) While on air, J. Love Hewitt dressed in classy dresses, in an Audrey Hepburn type manner.

AMERICA'S GOT BLACK TALENT NOW.
NBC tapped prolific filmmaker Spike Lee (Inside Man) to write, produce, and direct a new pilot for a TV series. The details on the project are sketchy, as if the format would be an emotional, ensemble to his recent hit (his biggest ever) or a white bashing drama- the highly political director is known to champion (Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X.)

MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND KICKS ASS!!
Despite its flaws, a good time will be had this film. Thurman is amazing,yet terrifying as the Jennifer Garner's nerd babe-cum-Felicity, Jenny Johnson and the Supergirlish G-Girl. Luke Wilson succeeds as the ultimate Beta male just trying to figure this "needy, controlling" bitch out. Anna Farris (The Scary Movie franchise) is able to "get some good shots in," as Matt's true love Hannah and Rainn Wilson (The Office, NO relation- that's cooler bro- Owen) steals the show as the sleazy, smart ass best buddy of L. Wilson.
The crowd seemed to have good energy for it and laughed in all the right places. Director Ivan Reitman (Stripes, Ghostbusters 1 & 2) infused it with a good energy and has a really good feel for the majority of jokes, including a shark nearly killing Matt & Hannah after being thrown by jealous G-Girl.
Sadly, where they film falls apart is in the construction of funny premise of Don Payne's script. At the end of the movie, they cheap it out going for a Super catfight between Farris & Thurman- that's going so fast it can't really be appreciated and loses focus of the conflict between G-girl and Matt. True, it raises the stakes to domestic abuse, but didn't Fatal Attraction do this- with the more violent and at times, horror funny conclusion they "voted" for? Plus, in that movie- the good couple got to tag-team their vengeful blond, when she crosses the line. Also, Matt is a nice guy- UNDESERVING of this treatment. He should have made a jerk, to better justify G-Girl's wrath or given powers to payback her back in the climax, and prove to use them in more sane & justifiable way.
In addition, Eddie Izzard's droll Professor "Barry" Bedlam and Wanda Sykes as Wilson's ball-busting boss, dying to nail him for sexual harassment makes the most, of too little screen time.
EMINEM’S HUSTLE & FLOW TOILET BOWL MOMENT.
"I was just minding my own business and taking a leak!," exclaimed MIAD J, a local patron at the Cheetah's strip club, in Detroit’s 8Mile district- when he got into a violent altercation with The Washed actor.
About 1AM, he was in the men’s room using a urinal, when Rabbit entered with his entourage. The two men were standing side-by-side quietly; doing their business when a third men came in and started trying to talk to the rapper.
Em’s guard told the third men to be silent, when Miad J. told them to “ease up” on the star stuck fool- who just wanted to shake the Mockingbird singer’s hand.
The second MARSHALL MATHERS finished and flushed, “He started swinging. I wasn't even expecting it.” After J. was hit four to five times, the bouncers came in tossed out Em's security force and the rapper sneaked out of the club unharmed.
The police were called and they said they would move to file the case against Eminem,at the D.A.'s office. Why? As his crew was leaving an obscure rapper- named Double Trick or Trick! Trick!, aimed a gun at the club-threatening to fire.

LOOK! IT'S ROBOTS IN DISGUISE!! (AN EXCLUSIVE.)
Principle filming started on Transformers this week, based on the wildly popular 80's toys and animated series of the same name. It also, like the Ninja Turtles-is the show that won't die.
The star- Las Vegas pretty boy Josh Duhamel was present on the set, and acting at times like a loud mouth fool (and embarrassing Jimmy Caan in this reporter's opinion.) Anyway, director Michael Bay (fresh off his failure with Scarlet Johansson on the Island) is truly back in his element of blowing crap up real well. One can hear, the sounds of townspeople running, as the story's villains, the Decepticons with sadist glee, destroy product placement encased buildings.
The lead evil doer, a huge tank leads the opening salvo, by blasting a men's pants store and crushing the same three cars (in two takes,) putting Bay back in the zone.
As the tall, lanky mastermind with graying, brown hair- took a tiny sip of rationed water, then hopped into his black Ford Explorer to do some quick rewriting. He followed that by, power eating some soup in the car. Then, in the next set of explosions littered the New York style cityscape- in dry manure.

TWO TALENTED MEN WITH THEIR HEADS SHOVED COMPLETELY UP THEIR ASSES!
On the premiere of Superman Returns, Sex and the City Creator Darren Star, took his
teen niece and nephew to see the film at the AMC Century City 14 in Los Angeles.
After getting the tickets, the Melrose Place mastermind found four seats together with a reserved sign on scotch tape on them. Despite this, Star pulled the tape of the seats and his group sat down. Then a theater employee told him, that the seats were reserved and a semi loud argument ensued.
It was at that point- the usher revealed the seat were being saved for Matthew Perry (Friends, Studio 60.) The producer responded with a too-bad, so-sad response concluding “Darren Star is sitting in [these] seats because I got here first and this is not a premiere or a screening."
The usher returned “Mr. Perry would like to talk to you.” Also, that armed mall security had been dispatched to the theater.
Perry with three other guests, in his corner- then argued vigorously with Star about the seats. Perry earned his seats back and Star moved post haste. Star later left over anger over the incident and the incessant whining of the children.
AMC declined comment other than to say they have to right to reserve seating for whomever and that Star had no right to do what he did. Perry’s response,” I really enjoyed the movie, although it is slightly implausible that a man can fly.”
