Jackie Chan's Stunt-Filled Family Action Adventure CHINESE ZODIAC Opens October 18 At AMC Theatres®

 Jackie Chan broke two Guinness World Records® for "Most Stunts Performed by a Living Actor" and "Most Credits in One Movie" From PR Newswire Jackie Chan's stunt-filled family action adventure CHINESE ZODIAC comes to guests at AMC Theatres in the United States and Canada beginning October 18.
Filmed on location across five continents and seven countries, the movie features some of Chan's wildest and most breathtaking stunts ever – including a hillside chase with our hero in a skate suit and an aerial landing on top of an active volcano.
During the making of the film, Chan broke two Guinness World Records for "Most Stunts Performed by a Living Actor" and "Most Credits in One Movie" (15), which includes Actor, Director, Producer, Fight Choreographer and Composer. One of the highest-grossing Chinese films of all time, CHINESE ZODIAC has earned over $160 million worldwide.
JC (Jackie Chan) leads a team of treasure hunters (Kwon Sang-Woo, Liao Fan and Zhang Lanxin) who travel the world in search of ancient relics. When JC is given his toughest challenge yet, acquiring 12 mystical artifacts that comprise the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, he enlists the help of archeologist Coco (Yao Xintong) and French heiress Katherine (Laure Weissbecker).
 Together, JC and his group must locate the priceless relics before they fall into the wrong hands and are lost forever. Loaded with Jackie Chan's trademark brand of action and humor, Chinese Zodiac features the martial arts comedy icon performing his own death -- and gravity -- defying stunts.
Shot on location in China, France, Australia, Latvia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the South Pacific, the film features an international cast that includes leading actors and actresses from China, France, Korea and the United States. The film is also one of Chan's most ambitious -- one of the major fight scenes in the movie cost more than $10 million.

CELEBRITY Q AND A: SIGOURNEY WEAVER.

Data Hard:Wow, you look like Sigourney Weaver.

Sigourney Weaver: (she smiles knowingly)

Data: It's probably because of your hair (Weaver's quintessential red-haired, sophisticated, exec look.) 

Weaver: It's probably because...I'm so tall (she's 6 foot even.)

Hard nods head in agreement

Weaver: Or the fact that I usually have Aliens around me. Or monsters (an illusion to her recent hit Cabin in the Woods.She played a Catherine Parker (Working Girl) type gal-trying to save the world,through murder.)

 

We both laugh at her gracious sense or humor.

Weaver: What's favorite movie of mine?

Data: I loved her Galaxy Quest. (Note: I'm so nervous, I start referring to her in the third person.)

Weaver: (confused, but intrigued) Why?

Hard: It's the only time in career, she went blond.

Weaver: (The queen of Sci-Fi blushed a bit.) The Star Trek fans are the best and most loyal in the world!
Are you a Trekker?

Data: Yes

Weaver: Oh,who was my co-star in that one? 

Hard: Tim Allen.

Weaver: That's right. Hey I know what you'd like to do? Hi-Ya!

Weaver (in jest) strike a karate ready pose.We both both laugh charmingly.

Weaver: We had a great time making fun of it.

Hard: For Trekkers: You guys did with love.You didn't go in with a ,here's why Trek sucks attitude.You respected us and that made it possible- to laugh at the show's silliness and structure (60's era mainly.) 

Weaver: (impressed) My favorite of hers (mockingly) is Gorillas in the Mist.

Data: She almost won an Oscar for that,didn't she?

Weaver: (She shoots back sullen and angry eyes at me) Yes, She almost did. (Flares nostrils)

Weaver did win two Golden Globes (no pun intended) for both ...Mist and Working Girl,back in 1988.
The first actress to win twice in one year.

Weaver: I really admire her strength and determination... to do the right the things for those Gorillas.

Data: That was Dian Fossey wasn't it?

Weaver nods approvingly.

Weaver: Well, times flies when- you're being talked about, like you're not even there. (smiles) I hope to see this at your website. You did a good job.

Data is shocked that she's even heard of me.

Weaver: I'm paying you compliment.

Hard smiles and nods thankfully.

Weaver: (magnanimously) I've got to go, (wide smile) Good Bye.

Factoids: WikiPedia.

VH1 TURNS LEANN RIMES AND EDDIE CIBRIAN, INTO A REALITY SHOW.

LeAnn Rimes And Eddie Cibrian Are Bringing What You Think You Know -- And What You Don't -- To VH1

Gurney Productions Of 'Duck Dynasty' Fame Will Produce The Series Which Is Set To Premiere Fall 2013/Winter 2014 With 6 Episodes.

               
From PRNewswire-- LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian have both been famous in their own right for years, but it wasn't until they were a couple that the tabloids became enamored with their every move. Joining forces with VH1, their new show will bring the truth and make fun of all the gossip. "LeAnn & Eddie" (working title) is set to premiere on VH1 in the Fall 2013/Winter 2014 with 6 half-hour episodes.

Multiple Grammy Award-winning artist LeAnn Rimes first burst on the music scene at the age of 13. Since then she has gone on to sell more than 40 million albums, has scored 13 Top10 hits and has won numerous music awards. Her latest album, the critically acclaimed "Spitfire," debuted at number 9 on the Billboard Country Charts and number 4 on iTunes. Eddie Cibrian is a versatile actor who got his start in daytime television but moved to primetime with the hit series "Third Watch."  Since then he has gone on to star as a lead actor in various television series, including "Invasion," "The Playboy Club," "CSI Miami" and "Tilt" among others.  Mr. Cibrian has also starred in numerous films including "Living Out Loud," "Good Deeds," "But I'm A Cheerleader," "The Cave," and the upcoming movies "Single Moms Club," and "Best Man Holiday."

Inside the sanctity of their world they are a typical normal modern family -- a married couple, who both have careers and are also learning how to navigate the co-parenting of Eddie's two sons. Life outside the home for them is very different because they live in a fishbowl where the paparazzi stalk them, the tabloids report on any detail and the public gets only part of the real story.  With "LeAnn & Eddie," they look forward to sharing a bit of their world and poke fun at what it's like to be a high-profile couple with more than a little misinformation out there about them.

"We are really excited to be working together on a unique show that will give you a glimpse into who we really are or better yet who we're really not.  We're thrilled to partner with VH1 and The Gurneys to put our spin on a project full of love, humor and music," said LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian.

"LeAnn and Eddie are both talented entertainers who have really captured the public's imagination in the last couple of years, but there is so much more to them than what you read in the tabloids," said Tom Calderone, President of VH1.  "This is going to be a really fun show in which we hope to reveal what their lives are really like - from the normalcy of their home life, to what drives them artistically, to the chaos of their celebrity life."

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian will also serve as executive producers for Country Cuban Productions, Inc.  Also serving as executive producers are John Ferriter for Octagon Entertainment and Scotty Abrams for Maniac Filmworks and Music.   Executive producing for VH1 is Jill Holmes.

CELEBRITY HOMOPHOBIA: NICK CANNON! (EXCLUSIVE!)

A recent episode of Real Husbands Of Hollywood, is entitled Riding in Cars with Boys. At the end of the show, The America's Got Talent host ,refereed to allegedly gay contortionist as a "faggot in a box" and laughed deliriously.

All I was trying to do was walk across the street to the Pasadena Gold line station, in late March 2013. The alleged Wankster dressed (all in black, down to his trademark- backward child like cap) was walking from behind some signs near the entrance, walking with someone looks like Kevin Hart, who would be a silent enabler of his friend.

The monomaniac loudmouth, then takes one look at me (dressed from security work garb) and launched into a tirade of quick gay jokes, as it has been already decided, by his ignorant ass. I just stare- at the intolerant liars. 

Then, he jumps in my face and threatened to  hit me (or kiss, he chose to be so close),if I did anything. As he turned away, he attempted to flinch me. When  he turned away, I hit him with pepper spray.

I tried to get down some stairs and he tried to push me down them. I had to threatened to mace him again, and walked back up. He claimed "You WON'T do THAT again, fag!" and of course I did. I told him that I WASN'T GAY and that he was bigot. This impressed the allegedly smiling Hart, who was impressed that I rhymed of the Full F word. 

Cannon then tried to call me fat repeatedly, in place of the f word. He then, dared me to mace him ,so I did. I tried to run down a ramp in front of the signs, where the extremists emerged. Somehow, Cannon got in front of me and forced a fist-fight. 

I tried to use my coat as a distraction, to get by the homophobic punk. He caught it and begins whipping it at me. I try to karate kick him and barely missed. This enrages the All That bastard, who stomps my Nikes (The Boondocks' Riley Freeman was right!) My right ankle and foot collapses in massive pain.

Cannon throws my jacket over my head and says "Is that what you trying to do?!" and pushed me down to the ground. Then, he kicks me in the middle of my back and the back of the head.
Luckily, Cannon hits like a bitch, so they almost didn't hurt. The thickness of my jacket, might saved me from severe damage.

Still, I couldn't get up and then Cannon starts jumping in air -like a prize fighter- claiming "I won!" He ran off happy  and both leave the scene. On pure adrenaline, I get  up and chase Cannon down the street, catch up and start pepper spraying him again.

Hart starts laughing again- I was so angry that I shot pepper spray at him, but it fails to go off.
Hart then claims that "Nick, He's out! (of spray)."

Cannon stops running and tries to fight me again. Then, I take the spray bottle and place into my huge right hand for leverage and wait. After quite a few seconds, Cannon face turns from anger to confusion and runs claiming "I ALREADY BEAT YOU!"

I briskly walk (in noticeable pain) to collect my jacket, back at the station. Then, I notice he's trying to make his way ,back down toward me. I finally call the cops, with my cell phone & three police cars arrive in  seconds of the my call.

The cops catch Cannon and we each try to have  the other arrested. Cannon & Hart start yelling that
"I blew it," like this whole thing was a job offer or something.

Ranking Officer Paul Lee tells me, that it was mutual combat and we would both have to be arrested to file a police report, even though I was the only one hurt and did NOT initiate this entire scenario. 

Cannon hears this and immediately drops his charges. He leaves with Hart. I start to realize my foot is in such pain, I can't stand without leaning on the wall and a ambulance takes me to the hospital. Since that night, I haven't been able to walk properly without a crutch and I'll need surgery once the bones finally heal.

One of America's most beloved comedians of all time, Cosby has captivated generations of fans with his comedy routines, iconic albums and best-selling books such as "Fatherhood."  His comedy transcends ages, genders and cultures.  Cosby went around television's racial obstacles with "I Spy," becoming the first African American to costar on a weekly, dramatic television series while winning three consecutive Emmys®.  Cosby created and produced the Emmy Award®- winning cartoon series "Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids," which began airing in the 1970s and was made into a film in 2004.  The show, based on Cosby's childhood in Philadelphia, was designed to educate and entertain.  Perhaps Cosby's greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is  "The Cosby Show," about a close-knit, upper middle income Black family.  Cosby has received the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (America's highest civilian honor), the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award. COMEDY CENTRAL is the number one brand in comedy.
