Hugh Jackman is said to have pulled out of negotiations for Steven Soderbergh’s 3D rock ‘n roll musical ‘Cleopatra’.  Hugh was slated to play Roman general Marc Anthony to Catherine Zeta Jones’ Cleopatra.

Soderbergh explains it is largely due to scheduling conflicts:

“I want him to be [involved], we’re trying to work it out,” he told inthenews.co.uk at the UK premiere of Che last year.

“I guess [X-Men Origins:] Wolverine is opening in 2010 so he’ll have the publicity tour for that, but I definitely want him.”

Hugh is going to be very busy with hosting the Academy Awards in February and returns as Wolverine in May.

Bummer.  I suspect we would have seen him topless and buff in that production, no?

Despite the immense success of ‘Twilight’, Robert Pattinson is not looking forward to the sequel ‘New Moon’.  He has signed a multi-million dollar deal to reprise his role in the block-buster franchise, but says it is a painful ordeal:

“Wearing coloured contact lenses… It was like I constantly had sand in my eyes. I was wearing them for three months constantly and my eyes never ever accepted them! It took me 20 minutes per eye every single day and I ended up having to literally fold it into my eyeball.”

He feels his ability to act was comprimised because of the ‘two orange blobs’ in his eyes.  He adds:

“It was frustrating as well because normally your eyes are saying something, but if you’ve got two orange blobs in your face it’s so annoying!

“The director (Catherine Hardwicke) would say, ‘Look at her (Kristen Stewart) like you love her,’ and I’d be like, ‘I’m trying!’ I’m going to have to do it again because we’re making the sequel next year.”

Lucky Kristen Stewart!!

Which newly married starlet gave a guy she trysted with a nasty STD right before her wedding . . .

Which on-the-rocks couple have been headed for divorce for a while? The rock star was cheating on his actress wife immediately after they got hitched and has been carrying on with his comely female sound technician . . .

Which television actor should ask his new fling for her secret photo album? While she was in college, she took some nude pictures that are floating around the hard drives of local frat houses. Somehow, we don’t think the actor will be turned off.

Guesses anyone??

Can you say glamorous???  Wow. Scarlett Johansson covers Harper’s Bazaar and looks like something right out of a Parisian Fashion Magazine.

Tila Tequila is seen at LAX on New Years’ Day looking happy to be photographed.

Dave Navarro and a mystery blonde arrived from Cancun.  I just have to include what the photo write up said:

Dave Navarro arrives at LAX airport from Cancun on New Year’s Day looking loved up with a new mystery blonde

Looking  all loved up!!! I love that expression.  I’ve never heard it before.  Next time someone thinks I look like a Deer in headlights, I’m simply going to say “I’m all loved up”.

 I have to admit I was pretty shocked when he and Carmen Electra split up.  I realize they have both moved on in their lives but I haven’t.  I’m still hurt by the split.  Tee Hee….I lied…I’m SO over it.

Forget ‘loved up’, Dave looks a little annoyed to me.  And his girl looks all school girl giggly.  What do you think?

Miley Cyrus performed at A Miley-Sized Surprise New Year’s Eve 2009 held at Buckingham High School in Irvine, California held by fans of FNMTV.

I don’t even know what that means.  Maybe it’s the ungodly hour I’m doing this post at or maybe that it’s I can’t relate given I’m 100 years older than anyone in these pictures.   What I do know is even if I were to win 2 or 3 lotteries in my lifetime, I still wouldn’t be as wealthy as Miley is now.  And she’s only 16.
