MPTF President and CEO Bob Beitcher said, "My love affair with MPTF began 12 years ago at an event just like tonight's 'Reel Stories' hosted by Kevin Spacey. Witnessing Hollywood's finest tell the amazing stories of how MPTF takes care of industry members in their time of need made me proud to be part of the entertainment community, led me to step up my financial contributions to MPTF, and screamed to me 'get involved.'

"There is no better way to introduce the next generation of Hollywood to the importance of MPTF to this industry than the creative talent brought together to tell the stories of the people helped by this charity," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chairman of the MPTF Foundation.  "My thanks to Will Arnett for hosting and to the talented actors and writers who are giving so generously of their talent to bring to life the mission of caring for our own in these compassionate real-life stories."
CEO of MPTF Foundation Ken Scherer said, "MPTF Foundation is truly fortunate to have the force of nature that has become what we affectionately call Team Valenti – my thanks to Guymon Casady, Bill Gerber, Karen Rosenfelt, Kevin McCormick, Greg Sills, Courtenay Valenti, and Warren Zavala – for channeling their individual passion into creating this event that has built awareness and motivated engagement with the next generation of Hollywood. And out of this event has emerged a new Next Gen group under the leadership of Natalie Bruss and Zachary Browning," Scherer concluded.

ALLEGED WESTWOOD PAVILION BIGOT- GEORGE LOPEZ ARRESTED, FOR DISTURBING THE PEACE,DURING BLACKJACK!

Alleged, bigoted Comedian George Lopez- was apparently arrested on February 27, near a Canadian Caesars casino.

The smug, middle aged, bastard was made ill by "Public Intoxication." He was acting like, a lush on the gaming floor.Sadly, he won’t be charged,for the families that saw him and must make decision to watch his "sainted" new FX sit-com.

It was the casino- that decide to have failed, talk-show host pinched,by the Hot Fuzz.

Lopez may have got stage fright or worry over his new TV show,which is more a business deal than a sit-com:to mass produce 200 shows in a  3 year period,than be funny or enlightening,like his last show. 

He failed to do a show at the place and is meant to be there, to do comedy tonight. Lopez has since been bonded out.

EXPOSE: WHY WONDER WOMAN NEEDS TO KEEP THE REAL DEAL WARDROBE.

Don't forget that Xena, wasn't afraid to be sexy in fights, because it distracts guys (and lesbian villains too.) If she had on a lot of clothes, she rips a slit in her skirt (sometimes throwing off bulky clothes quickly,while keeping weapons and basic attire on) and kicks/punches them, while they're starring at her.

WW sexiness is a distraction, to better beat the bad guys.Both heroines do the exact same thing.It's what all lady fighters do and guys can sexualize a lady in any type of outfit,job or role. That's why she need to keep the traditional outfit.Plus, WW is the Barbie of Super Heroines, she wears a variety of outfits- BASED on the core design.

Yes, putting a armored jumpsuit  on WW will silence the critics and please the feminists,but that just turns her into lame knockoff, of any X Man based lady superhero. Then,you can't tell the difference between her and Man of Steel villain Faora-Ul,who herself was a pure evil version of the character the producers are trying to change Diana T. Prince into, for Batman V. Superman.

Also,since This version of  Faora wasn't killed at the end of Man of Steel, a change to confuse the two roles (with the audience) will be created.  Next, this undying need to turn Diana into a bitch is weird. The TV show worked because she was: willing work with men,actually friendly (when warranted) and was able to fall in love with her supposed enemy,a man-if they respected her as a woman.

A true woman uses her sexiness as a weapon, before uses her skills and smarts against her foe anyways.

J. LAW TOPS CELEBRITY MONEY EARNERS.

Jennifer Lawrence Voted Top Money-Making Star of 2013 in Quigley Publishing Company's Annual Poll!

From PRNewswire/ -- Jennifer Lawrence has been voted the Top Money-Making Star of 2013 in Quigley Publishing Company's 82nd Annual Poll. This is Lawrence's first appearance in the Quigley Poll, and the first time an actor has gone from Star of Tomorrow one year to the Top Money-Making Star the next. After winning an Academy Award and a Golden Globe earlier this year and outstanding performances in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "American Hustle," theatre owners and film buyers felt Lawrence was responsible for more traffic to movie theatres in 2013 than any other actor.
Sandra Bullock, who was in "The Heat" and "Gravity" this year, placed second on the Top Ten Money- Making Stars list. The only other time females were voted the top two spots in history was our first poll in 1932 when Marie Dressler and Janet Gaynor were first and second respectively. Since then, nine women have been voted first in the Top Money-Making Star Poll a total of seventeen years, with Julie Andrews, Doris Day, Shirley Temple and Marie Dressler winning multiple times. The Quigley Poll, conducted each year since 1932, is an annual survey of motion picture theatre owners and film buyers, which asks them to vote for the ten stars that they believe generated the most box-office revenue for their theatres during the year.
It has been long regarded as one of the most reliable indicators of a Star's real box-office draw because the selections are made by professionals whose livelihood depends on choosing the films and actors that will bring audiences to their theatres. It draws a distinction among stars that happen to appear in hit films and those stars that Exhibitors and film buyers believe actually cause an audience to come to their theatres. The Quigley Poll appears annually in Quigley Publishing Company's International Motion Picture Almanac and on our web site: www.quigleypublishing.com. Both list the results of all the Polls since 1932.

Bradley Cooper placed third and was in "The Hangover Part III" and "American Hustle." Tom Hanks, who has been one of the Top Ten draws seventeen times with five first place finishes, was fourth this year with great performances in "Saving Mr. Banks" and "Captain Phillips." Last year's winner, Denzel Washington, was fifth place, appearing in "2 Guns" and Leonardo DiCaprio, who was in "The Great Gatsby" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," was sixth.

This is the ninth year that Exhibitors have placed both Washington and DiCaprio in the Top Ten. Robert Downey, Jr. who starred in "Iron Man 3" came in seventh. Hugh Jackman made his third showing in the Top Ten in eighth place with "The Wolverine," "Prisoners" and "Movie 43."

Brad Pitt was voted into the ninth spot and was in "World War Z," "12 Years a Slave" and "The Counselor." Exhibitors recognized Melissa McCarthy's audience appeal and voted her into the Top Ten for the first time this year after a busy 2013 with "Identity Theft," "The Hangover Part III" and "The Heat." Tom Cruise has not placed in the Poll since 2007, but has been in the Top Ten 20 times since 1983, and been voted number one - the most of any actor - seven times.

Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds and Bing Crosby have all won five times. Clint Eastwood has appeared in the poll 21 times starting in 1968.

John Wayne, Doris Day and Shirley Temple each finished first four times, but John Wayne was voted one of the Top Ten Money-Making Stars an astounding 25 times from 1949 to 1974. Exhibitors were also asked to name the Stars of Tomorrow for 2013: one male and one female who they feel will be Top Money-Makers in the years to come. The 2013 winners are Amy Adams who was in "Man of Steel," "Her," and "American Hustle" and the ubiquitous James Franco who acted in "Oz the Great and Powerful," "Spring Breakers," "Lovelace," "Homefront" and "This is the End" in 2013 in addition to writing, producing and directing numerous films.
Top Ten Money-Making Stars of 2013:  Jennifer Lawrence, Sandra Bullock,  Bradley Cooper, Tom Hanks Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey, Jr. ,Hugh Jackman Brad Pitt & Melissa McCarthy. Star of Tomorrow: Amy Adams

JIM CARREY WROTE- AN AWARD WINNING CHILDREN'S E-BOOK!

Versions for E-Reader Devices Feature Abundant Special Effects, Original Music, and Character Voices

From PR Newswire-
"We've produced three versions," says Raatz. "The ones for iPad and Nook will include all of the enhancements. A third version for Kindle and other e-readers is a more straightforward edition."   The Apple-based version can also be read on iPads, iPhones and iPods, and on Apple computers equipped with their new iBook reader running on the recently released OS X Version 10.9 Mavericks operating system.

Carrey reads the book, voicing all of the characters and the majority of the sound effects. In addition, Carrey and his daughter, Jane, a singer-songwriter, perform four original, fully-produced songs that relate to the story and characters. There is also a variety of visual effects, movements and incidental characters (voiced by Carrey) that make the book a rollicking rich experience for readers aged four to eight, as well as "their grown-ups!" The songs are also available separately in the iTunes store now and soon through other e-tailers.
Carrey is just finishing work on his latest film, "Dumb and Dumber To," the long anticipated sequel to his iconic "Dumb and Dumber." On his occasional weekend shooting breaks, Carrey attended book signings for How Roland Rolls in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Toronto, delighting thousands of supportive fans with autographs and photos.

"New Years is all about spending time with family and friends to reflect on the past year, but more importantly, start planning for what lies ahead," said Sean "Diddy" Combs who oversees all branding and marketing for CIROC. "Helping consumers begin their New Year safely is what this program is all about – reminding them that there is a true art to responsible celebration."
To further encourage awareness, all month long Combs and various other celebrities will be surprising pedestrians by collecting pledges at undisclosed locations and participating in dedicated public service announcements.  The content will be featured in the out of home advertising as well as across targeted media outlets. 
The Makers of CIROC would like to thank everyone in advance for helping us reach the 1 Million dollar goal and remind everyone to celebrate responsibly this season.  Whether you are attending a holiday party or just enjoying a night out with family and friends, if you are drinking be sure to designate a driver, call a cab or take public transportation to get home safely.

Later.
