News: Fountain of Youth, Bear Kiss, and Jennifer Hudson
Wireless iPods, soon?
In the latest addition to Jason Statham's body of work, Crank, he hits the road on a motorcycle in a hospital gown and lets it all hang out...
David Copperfield says he has found the Fountain of Youth on an island he owns in the Southern Bahamas: "I've discovered a true phenomenon. You can take dead leaves, they come in contact with the water, they become full of life again. ... Bugs or insects that are near death, come in contact with the water, they'll fly away. It's an amazing thing, very, very exciting."

According to Tom O'Neil at The Envelope, Jennifer Hudson is already being tipped for an Oscar nom in the Dreamgirls role that will turn her into a major superstar: "A test-screening audience not only went crazy for the pic recently in San Diego, but viewers went utterly bonkers over Hudson. Now she can laugh off her loss on 'American Idol.'...Already, she's the frontrunner for the supporting-actress Oscar. Actually, it's surprising she's not a frontrunner for best actress considering Holliday beat her costar Sheryl Lee Ralph (who portrayed Deena) for the top acting honor at the Tonys, but studio chiefs plan to separate the film Dreamdivas at the Oscars, demoting Hudson to supporting because Beyonce has more screen time. And, well, probably just because she's Beyonce."

Well, my baby daddy (Mr. Statham) isn't REALLY letting it all hang out because he's wearing a "cock sock": you can see the little strap in the ass shot. I told him he needed to protect "the boys" during that strenuous action sequence!

Life imitating art? Methinks Beyonce's people (um... father) should give that a second thought.

The Hudson item reads like a flak attack. Buried in the report: no one has seen anything more than what was shown months ago (i.e., old news). I actually heard from someone on the set that Hudson actually wasn't quite up to par--maybe the PR machine is being preemptive. In any case I hope I'm wrong, I hope she knocks it outta the park.
