Kim Kardashian Scores Acting Gig On ‘Drop Dead Diva’

Is the acting world really taking Kim Kardashian seriously? It sure looks that way now that she has landed herself a recurring role on the Lifetime show ‘Drop Dead Diva’. Kim Kardashian the actress, get used to that my friends because for some reason Hollywood seems to think the reality star can act. I personally am a huge fan of Kim’s but even I don’t have a whole lot of faith in her acting abilities. That being said I was very surprised that she actually landed herself a recurring role on the hit Lifetime show. The network confirmed on Thursday the Kardashian will be playing the role of Nikki, who is the love interest for Ben and just so happens to be working on a business venture with Ben’s ex. Oh yes it looks like a love triangle is in store of Kim’s character. Drop Dead Diva will air sometime this summer. No official start date has been released yet, however the character of Nikki will appear in the very first episode the season. Landing a recurring role on an already established show is just the lasted acting gig that the middle Kardashian sister has landed in recent months. First [...]

Demi Moore Lucks Out On 911 Tape

Demi Moore could get seriously lucky just before the release of the 911 call that was made before she was taken to the hospital earlier this week. First of all, I want to clear that I am not making light of her ended up in the hospital. I am also not making fun of her if she has a real substance abuse problem. With that said, what the heck is going on? Usually the dirty and even disturbing details are aired out when celebrities find themselves in these kind of situations. Instead, word has it that the tape of the 911 call will be edited so that it doesn’t include specific references to the drugs that were allegedly involved or even the friends that were involved. So what exactly will be on the tape now anyway? I think it might go something like this “okay, so we have a woman here who has collapsed. Help, please.” How silly is that? In case you didn’t know, sources have claimed that she was doing nitrous oxide right before she had a near seizure. That is just plain embarrassing. Those aren’t even really illegal anyway, but there is some kind of loophole that [...]

George Clooney, 'The Artist' Are Odds-On Oscar Faves

We leave the Oscar odds up to the professionals, in Bigger Than the Sound.

My buddy Corey (snubs and surprises to the folks that know these things best, I found it rather interesting that, after talking to a bunch of my movie-loving co-workers, I quickly discovered that, among cineastes, the Oscars are sort of regarded much the same way die-hard music fans view the Grammys: They are, to say the very least, a slightly silly, thoroughly incomprehensible thing. And given this year's list of nominees, I'm inclined to agree with that assessment.

So given all that — not to mention the fact that my two favorite films of 2011, "Drive" and, uh, "Warrior" racked up a grand total of two nominations — you can understand why, when my editors told me they were looking for an Oscars odds column, I sort of panicked. Needless to say, I was not the expert they were looking for — thankfully, given my insatiable wagering addiction (DON'T CALL IT A "PROBLEM"), I know some folks who were.

So I reached out to the brain trust at Cindy Taylor
