Trouble brews between Kaisers & Kasabian

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-07-10 - 16:39:00

The Kaiser Chiefs and Kasabian had to be kept apart at the Oxegen festival in Dublin this weekend, The Mirror claims today.

Kasabian singer Tom Meighan had apparently threatened to punch Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson after the group had criticised their rivals in an interview.

The newspaper quotes Tom as saying, "The next time I see Ricky I'm going to punch him in the face. I can't believe the Kaiser Chiefs dissed us - they are ones to talk."

Despite this, Tom recently said in an interview, "All of these bands around at the moment are s* and nobody will give a f* in 20 years' time."


 
 

Wilson misses his brother's company

Owen Wilson has admitted that he misses the company of his brother Luke, even though he kicked him out of his home himself.

The Wedding Crashers actor became tired of living with his younger brother twenty-four hours a day and being told what to do, but now feels that something is missing at home.

He said: "[Luke] told me that I wasn't keeping the place tidy enough. Luke can be a little bit of a type A personality. But what's funny is, as soon as he moved out, I kind of missed him."

"When he moved in he brought a stuffed boar's head that he got from The Royal Tennenbaums. I was like, 'Of all the props you could've gotten why did you get this?' "But, then again, when he took that out I kind of missed it. It kind of, I felt, tied the whole room together," he added.

Now the star is looking for something else to add to his place. He remarked: "My house could use a woman's touch a little bit. I have a football table where the dining room table should be."

Federline to sign with Spears' label

Kevin Federline is supposedly negotiating a record contract with Jive Records, the same label that his wife Britney Spears is signed to.

The former dancer, sometimes known as 'K-Fed', has recorded an album, but until now has failed to obtain a deal with a music company. However, it looks like the 28-year-old's music career will soon progress.

A source told the New York Daily News: "Nothing is definite yet, but it looks like K-Fed is going to keep it all in the family."

MacNicol to join as permanent cast member

Peter MacNicol's schedule is about to become even busier as the "Numbers" cast member is joining Fox's "24" next season as a series regular. The actor will portray a high-ranking government official in the real-time drama, which kicks off its sixth year at midseason.

MacNicol has been a cast member on CBS' "Numbers" since the drama premiered in January 2005. He will shoot "24" and "Numbers" simultaneously.

MacNicol earned three supporting actor Emmy nominations for his role as stuttering attorney John Cage on Fox's "Ally McBeal," taking home the award in 2001.

His other credits also include ABC's "Boston Legal" and CBS' "Chicago Hope," along with voice roles in such series as Adult Swim's "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" and WB Network's "The Batman."

No More Tattoos For Brandy

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-07-10 - 16:06:58

R&B singer turned US TV star BRANDY
NORWOOD has decided never to get another tattoo, because she already thinks
five is excessive.

The former MOESHA star, who is now a judge on new US TV hit AMERICA'S GOT TALENT, confessed to her five tattoos when she stood in as a guest
host on US talk show THE VIEW last week.

She revealed she has a flower design on her lower back, one on each shoulder, a tattoo on her ankle and another on her foot.

Norwood said, "I'm done, because, when you're a woman, sometimes it's just too much and I have too many".

Jude & Sienna engaged... again

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-07-10 - 15:59:34

Jude Law and Sienna Miller, the couple that's on and off more times than a light switch, are apparently back on and going down the engagement road yet again.

Miller, who broke off the couple's engagement last year when Law confessed to sleeping with his children's nanny, has apparently taken the initiative to make sure this time it's for real.

"Last time it was Jude making all the proposals and plans, but this time it's Sienna who's pushing the issue," a source has said. "She decided to go for it and ask him. She was delighted when he said yes."

Miller's celebratory mood could have been dampened by an accident she reportedly suffered on the set of her new film. Allegedly, a dentist was called to the set of Camille, which is being shot in Ontario, after an injury occurred while Miller was filming romantic scenes with her costar James Franco.

Izzard Finds the Comedy in Being Dumped

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-07-10 - 15:49:45

Although he rose to stardom on the strength of his outrageous comedy, Britain's Eddie Izzard has kept things on the serious side when it comes to acting -- until now. His role as Professor Bedlam, spurned-wannabe love of Uma Thurman in Twentieth Century Fox's July 21-opening "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" is "my first really comedic part," he notes.

"He could have been just the bad guy, but it's also playing on his bitterness over being dumped. I constantly attack her whilst being emotionally in love with her all the time. I do know that feeling," he adds wryly. "I think everyone has gone through being dumped."

Busy Izzard filmed his role as Mr. Kite in Julie Taymor's forthcoming Beatles-themed "Across the Universe" movie while he was making "Super Ex-Girlfriend" with Thurman and Luke Wilson -- on different soundstages at the same New York studio.

The peripatetic star was flying around with Prime Minister Tony Blair for comedic purposes last month -- his impressions landed on the Internet, a European podcast and the U.K.'s Guardian. But that doesn't mean he's prepping another Izzard comedy special -- ala his Emmy-winning HBO special "Dress to Kill" -- anytime soon. Though he's constantly doing live comedy gigs, when it comes to concert specials, "I actually like to keep it kind of rare. It can get confusing with my doing comedy and drama."

He's hoping his prospective FX series, "Low Life," will "merge the two together." In "Low Life," he plays "an American-Irish grifter, father of a family, and Minnie Driver is the wife. He's at a crossroads, thinking that all the cons and scams add up to a wasted life. Then, they have the opportunity to steal the identities of another family after a car crash." The pilot is undergoing reshoots right now.
