Harness or no harness, I imagine filming for hours on end on a freaking ledge must be scary even for those with nerves of steel. Sam Worthington spent a few hours on a ledge filming Man On A Ledge and then spent some time on street level trying to beat the snot out of Ed Harris.

This of course is happening in one of the greatest cities in the world:  New York.  The film also features Kyra Sedgwick (in photos) and Elizabeth Banks (also shown in photos).  Imdb describes the movie as being about:

An ex-cop turned con threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The NYPD dispatch a female police psychologist to talk him down. However, unbeknownst to the police on the scene, the suicide attempt is a cover for the biggest diamond heist ever pulled.

That actually sounds pretty intriguing, doesn’t it? The movie is set for release sometime in 2012.

Showgirls’ actress Elizabeth Berkley is writing a self-help book to help teens with low self-esteem that was inspired by questions she has received from young girls on her website Ask-Elizabeth.com where they write in and ask for advice.

Elizabeth received tons of criticism for her portrayal as a showgirl back in 1995 and a year later worked with Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and Diane Keaton in First Wives Club which, at the time said Goldie took her under her wing:

Goldie especially took me under her wing and was really supportive. She told me, “I don’t like the way you were directed in that movie [Showgirls (1995)], but there’s something there that you can’t deny. So you just keep doing what you’re doing and someone will get it, and someone will show the real you, and not just some idea of you”.

Pay it forward.  This November 1 marks her 7th year wedding anniversary to Greg Lauren, a professional nude painter who also happens to be the nephew of fashion guru Ralph Lauren.

And if you look closely, you’ll see that Elizabeth has two different colour eyes.  Cool, right?

 Elizabeth Berkley has a deal with MTV to develop a show that will follow her around the country helping teenage girls with self-esteem.

For the last two years she has been doing just that: running sessions that teaches young women about confidence in special workshops.

Amy Bailey, MTV’s vice president of News + Documentaries says,

“We had been looking for a program that tackled the same issues, so it seemed like a perfect match.”

Ask-Elizabeth is expected to debut in the U.S. later this year (08).

What a great concept for a show.  She should be proud as that is a great contribution.  She has changed a lot since her Showgirls days.

Will you watch?

Here she is with her husband, Greg Lauren:
