Heath Ledger as another tragic clown in "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus ".
"The fantasy film, directed by TERRY GILLIAM, tells the story of a travelling theatre that lets the audience go through a magic mirror and explore their imaginations.
Heath plays an outsider called Tony who joins the troupe.
After his tragic death, pals JOHNNY DEPP, JUDE LAW, and COLIN FARRELL took over the character – playing Tony at different points in the film.
"On January 22, the deadline-skimming day I was scheduled to interview filmmaker Ang Lee for this page, I received an email from a friend informing me that the day also happened to mark the one-year anniversary of Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger’s untimely death. -Do you remember where you were when you got the news that Heath died?
-I was landing at the Tokyo airport when I got an email from James. Heath died during my flight. That’s always strange to think about.
-What is your favorite memory of him? -It also happens to be one of my favorite shots of my career: his “barfing” scene in Brokeback, when he was hitting the wall with his fists. We were on the third take, his fists were bleeding, he’d literally spilled all his guts, and something in the background struck me as being perfect. I think it was the clouds. I wanted to do another take, but Heath was totally exhausted. My producer said, “That’s bullshit. The actor has had enough.” But the clouds were perfect! We did another take, and after it was over, Heath said, “Wow. That felt good.” Source: 7x7.com
"Topics ranged from healthcare reform and the economic crisis to the commuter rail lines in Texas. Congressman Burgess also proposed tax cuts as a remedy for the nation's economic woes.
“We've seen this before, we saw it with Kennedy, we saw it with Reagan, we saw it with Bush in 2003”, said Burgess in the interview. “You want the economy to hum, you help the people who actually make it work in the first place. And that would be… the place I would start.”
When the subject of health care reform came up, the Congressman spoke about his views on what the American people were concerned with in regards to the implementation of universal health care.
“If Medicare is the model for reform aren't we obligated to get it right first before we expand it to other populations?” asked Burgess.
Burgess believes that instead of national health care that Congress ought to be focused on the affordability of private health care.
“Affordability is really the central issue when we talk about health care”, said Burgess.
Burgess believes the universal health care run by the government would result in millions of Americans losing their health care that he believes they prefer".
Homoerotic soft porn king Jake Gyllenhaal (Jarhead, Brokeback Mountain) was recently photographed on the set of The Prince of Persia looking vastly confused/perturbed. AND SHIRTLESS.Q: Why would Jake, an Oscar-nominated indie darling, schooled in the tradition of playing melancholy/mentally disturbed/or otherwise emotionally afflicted individuals who never smile and have a 50% chance of dying by the end of any one movie, sign on to a Jerry Bruckheimer-helmed blockbuster based on a video game and full of gratituous male half-nudity?
A: So the guy can't have LAYERS?! (See Bubble Boy.)
Q: What if the plot is too stupid?
A: Directly from IMDb, Jake will be playing, "an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing A SANDSTORM THAT COULD DESTROY THE WORLD." (Caps mine, to emphasize the ridiculousness of asking the above question.)
Q: What if Jake has to wax his chest?!!!
A: CLEARLY, as seen in the above photographs, Jake has retained his dusting of downy chestal hair. Our little man! All grown up!
And now that I have tackled these tough issues, I will address a few comments that I read on The Huffington Post:
Comment: I liked this guy a lot before I saw him without a shirt.
My response: No one would ever actually say this. Ever.
Comment: He is supposed to be Persian?? He must be one heck of an actor!! :)
My response: When you think about it, that doesn't even make sense.
Comment: [in response to above] Box Office - he's a name - duh.
My response: I don't mean this in a mean way, but Jake is not exactly an opening weekend kind of guy. In fact, he's never carried a blockbuster. In fact, he probably won't carry this one...but the SANDSTORM OF DOOM MIGHT.
Comment: WHERE are his NIPPLES??!!???
My response: N/A
Comment: Nothing against Jake, but he looks ridiculous. That greasy wig! He looks like a cheap gigolo.
My response: HAHAHAHAHA! That's hilarious. But seriously, shut up, bitch, that's totally his real hair".-by the sans pareil blogscribe Prophecy Girl. Source: blogs.myspace.com
BUYER: Max Weinberg SELLERS: Naomi Foner and Stephen Gyllenhaal LOCATION: Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles, CA PRICE: We hear it's around $3,100,000 SIZE: 2,563 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms "Naomi Foner and Stephen Gyllenhaal–that would be Jake and Maggie's parents–finally sold their Mulholland Drive house which had been listed since early in 2008.
Junebug also told Your Mama that the buyer is Max Weinberg, the well known drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band as well as the leader of late night chat king Conan O'Brien's house band. Given that the property was first listed at $4,200,000 and later reduced to $3,495,000, Your Mama imagines that while the fighting Foner/Gyllenhaals must be thrilled to finally unload their real estate white elephant, if Junebug is right, they pocketed much less than they had hoped on the 2,563 square foot house that listing information and property records indicate contains 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.Gyllenhaal/Foners have long owned a house on Martha's Vineyard and while we suspect one of the two is holed up there, we find it hard to believe both would still be occupying that single residence".Source: realstalker.blogspot.com
"Gemma Arterton got "carried away" and stuck her tongue in co-star Jake Gyllenhaal's mouth while shooting their new movie.
The British actress admits she broke a strict rule while filming love scenes for their upcoming film 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'. She explained: "There's an unspoken no-tongues rule on set. But I got so carried away, it kind of slipped out."
Despite shocking Jake - who is dating actress Reese Witherspoon - Gemma insists that her co-star should be thankful.
She added: "Everyone said I was lucky to be kissing him, but he's the lucky one!" This is not the first time Gemma has made an embarrassing blunder while filming a love scene.
The 23-year-old star previously confessed to being a "giggling mess" when she filmed an intimate encounter with Daniel Craig for recent James Bond movie 'Quantum of Solace'. She said: "Kissing Daniel was great - I can't pretend it wasn't. It was my first day on set and I'd only met him once before - and then suddenly we were expected to kiss.
"He was very cool and I was a giggling mess. I mumbled something like, 'I just kissed you!' and he just coolly said, 'Yes, you did. And now we have to do it again.' Fortunately, he's an incredible kisser".Source: www.myparkmag.co.uk
If I were Reese, I'd be red-faced crazily jealous right now, I guess it's inevitable flirting a bit when you're shooting these heated or romantic scenes, but it seems Gemma crossed the line with gusto!
"The book I speak of is 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. A basic synopsis goes like this:
Tortured emo boy meets equally tortured indie girl. Boy and girl make out at boy's show. Hijinks follows with both boy and girl's exes, good international food, burlesque with nuns and hotel rooms.
Suffice to say it's a GREAT book.
HOWEVER Michael Cera splits the starring role with Kat Dennings as Nick and Norah respectively. Michael Cera is SO WRONG for this role. Yes, we saw in Juno that he pulls off tortured very well. But, as much as I hate to say it, HE'S NOT EMO ENOUGH!!!! UGH!!! He is described in the book as being a huge hipster...where's the lady bangs? Where's the tight, artfully ripped girl jeans? Where's the scenester band guy I've come to know and love??? Ugh. They could have gotten some fabulous up and coming actor...HELL they could have gotten ROBERT PATTINSON for all I care. And Kat Dennings...sorry girl. I loved you in Charlie Bartlett...but you're TOO pretty to be Norah. And you're not NEARLY icy enough. YOU ARE supposed to be playing the Tin Woman here. A little more ice would be nice!!! Tris isn't slutty enough, Caroline spends WAY too much time in the trailer [...] And WHAT is with the emphasis on Caroline?? She's BACKGROUND. She DOESN'T MATTER AS MUCH AS NICK AND NORAH'S PAINFULLY AWKWARD BUT PASSIONATELY LOVING RELATIONSHIP! She DOES NOT get lost in the city and 'meet Jesus' whilst being drunk. EVER. I mean yeah, I haven't read the book in a while, BUT I KNOW THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
In short: Nick's not emo enough, Norah is supposed to be more plain and endearing, Tris isn't slutty enough, Caroline gets WAY too much air time, and where the fuck is Tal?"
