Today's short news
I don't normally watch biopics. In fact, I don't really watch movies anymore, just TV. I was quite surprised at myself for reading the entire blurb about Iranian officials calling Oliver Stone "part of the Great Satan" when he requested access to sites for a movie on President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Blah blah, boring, blah blah... then I get to the final line, and I know why I was meant to read the whole thing:The director is taking the snub in his stride, stating, "I've been called a lot of things, but never a Great Satan. I wish the Iranian people well and I only hope their experience with an inept, rigid idealogue president goes better than ours."
News of the stars, Part 2: Remember when I posted about Britney Spears attacking the car with an umbrella? Well, apparently she was preparing for a movie role.Troubled star Britney Spears has apologized for attacking a paparazzo's Suv with an umbrella earlier this year - insisting she was "rehearsing for a film role". The singer has attributed her bizarre behavior outside estranged husband Kevin Federline's house - the night before she entered rehab in February - to preparation for a part in a movie about a much maligned wife who swaps places with her husband. In a message to gossip site X17, she writes, "I want to apologize for the past incident with the umbrella. I was preparing a character for a possible movie role where the husband doesn't play his part so they swap places. Unfortunately I didn't get the part. I'm sorry I get carried away with my role!"
Yeah, and Winona Ryder was getting in the character of a shoplifter. My reaction of wtf still hasn't changed.
