‘Quantum of Solace’ Trailer: We Hope You Were Paying Attention During ‘Casino Royale’

2008-07-13T00:32:00.001-07:00

Tagline: "I was always very interested to meet you. I heard so much about you from Vesper."

Translation: Who?

The Verdict: Casino Royale gave the 007 series a welcome shake-up by introducing Daniel Craig as a "Bond who bleeds" — but are we ready for a Bond who remembers? Quantum of Solace will purportedly pick up a few minutes after the ending of Royale, and in it Bond will apparently seek revenge for the death of that film's love interest (she had brown hair, we think). This could be problematic if you, like us, tend to forget the silly, negligible plots of these things the minute after they're over; will filmmakers actually expect us to recall things from a previous movie? We vaguely remember a poker game and a chase sequence, but that's about it. Presumably there was a super-villain bent on hatching some sort of wacky scheme, but that's purely speculation. Luckily Quantum will also feature the usual explosions, stunts, and boats jumping over other boats, the enjoyment of which would not seem to depend on your having paid attention during the preceding film (we hope).

Christie Brinkley settles divorce case

2008-07-13T00:27:00.001-07:00

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former supermodel Christie Brinkley's sensational divorce to her fourth husband ended abruptly on Thursday with a settlement, a spokeswoman for Brinkley said.

"After five days of trial and for the sake of their children, Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook have reached an agreement," spokeswoman Amy Jacobs said in a statement.

Cook revealed during testimony he had an affair with his 18-year-old assistant and spent $3,000 a month on Internet pornography. Brinkley, who asked for full custody of the couple's two children, said that her "perfect life" had been shattered by the revelations.

The settlement was reached at 6:15 a.m. after all-night negotiations, Jacobs said.

"I didn't want this trial. It's humiliating for all of us," Brinkley had said on the witness stand in New York family court in Central Islip, Long Island.

The agreement awarded Brinkley, 54, full custody of the children, aged 10 and 13, and gave Cook, 49, a financial settlement of $2.1 million as well as "parenting time."

Brinkley will retain all of the couple's properties, including 18 in the Hamptons, which were at dispute because Cook had advised the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model to buy them during their 10-year marriage.

The couple had spent the opening five days of trial trading allegations about whether Cook was a fit parent.

Nme - Harris Applies For Nme Job

2008-07-13T00:13:00.001-07:00

Scottish DJ CALVIN HARRIS has become the latest star to hit out at British music magazine NME - poking fun at the publication's spelling and grammar in a fake job application.

Superproducer Mark Ronson recently lashed out at NME bosses and branded the people who work there "morons" following the publication's scathing review of his recent performance at English music festival Glastonbury.

Now Harris has waded into the argument, stating that he objects to the publication's choice to make his name "synonymous with s**t. ALL the time!"

Harris also went one step further, sending a cheeky email to magazine chiefs after spotting a job advertisement looking for a reporter for the magazine.

He writes on his MySpace.com internet page, "A couple of days ago when I got home after a few shandys, I saw they were advertising for new staff writers, so I decided to apply, to try to even out the balance of opinion on my music. Here's the email I sent them: 'Hiya, can I have the NME reporter job please? I think I'd be really great.

"My cousin once shared a bong with Petey DoCher's from Babyshambles's's. I love you, Calvin xxxx.'

"But imagine my delight when I received this response: 'Thank you for your application for the News Reporter job at NME. We hope to be in touch in due course.' Superb! I'd be lying if I said I didn't think I was in with a shout."

On adopting a child, she added: "I do feel we're so fortunate, and we kind of owe it to humanity. We have a lot of love to give and a lot of resources."
Paltrow also spoke about the difficulty of returning to movie making after a four-year break.

She continued: "I mean, it's all ego, but you start to feel like, 'Oh, no, I worked so hard to get somewhere, and what if I can't get back there again?' But, all the while knowing that, I would never have traded one second or done anything differently."

Jay-Z played his final gig before his headline appearance at Glastonbury this weekend (June 28), performing at the Hove festival in Arendal, Norway last night (June 23).

Dressed all in black, with dark sunglasses and sporting two medallions Jay-Z arrived on the island of Tromoy, where the festival takes place, via speedboat before being dropped off backstage in a BMW marshalled by two security quad bikes visible on the stage's video screens as the set commenced.

With a entourage of 36 people joining him at the bash, the Brooklyn-based rapper was joined onstage by a ten-piece band, including a full brass section and two percussionists all dressed smartly in white shirts and black waistcoats. He began with 'Say Hello' after shouting, "The Roc boy is in the building tonight."

His set included many huge crowd favourites drawn from his fourteen year career including '99 Problems', 'It's A Hard Knock Life', 'Big Pimpin', 'Song Cry', 'Girls Girls Girls', and 'Encore'.

Despite Jay-Z's love of collaborations, rapper Memphis Bleek was the only vocalist who assisted Jay-Z onstage, joining him for three songs.

There were loud boos from the crowd mid-set as the stage visuals froze with a picture of American president George W Bush shortly followed by loud cheers as image of Presidential candidate Barack Obama appeared on the large video backdrop.

The backdrop also displayed images of the fallout of Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans in 2005, and clips from a variety of Jay-Z videos.

Speaking from the stage Jay-Z said: "I appreciate the love tonight Hove, it's a beautiful feeling � lets do one more, I owe you guys," before concluding his set with the Linkin Park-remixed version of 'Encore'.

Ange forgives Jack over 'twins' call

2008-07-12T23:26:00.001-07:00

Jack Black thinks Angelina Jolie has forgiven him for revealing she was having twins on live television.

Speaking at the premiere of his new film Kung Fu Panda in London's Leicester Square, Jack said he is pretty sure the Wanted actress hasn't held a grudge after he let the secret slip during the film's world premiere at Cannes Film Festival.

He said: "I think she has forgiven me. I haven't spoken to her since the event. But I never spoke to her before the event either so it's pretty much the same as it always was. I think she's neutral on the subject of me."

The star made an impressive entrance as he was carried along the red carpet, before posing with a life-sized version of his character in the film, Po.

He said: "They carried me in through this back alley in Chinatown in a little ramshackle hut. Luckily they had four really strong guys. I was worried that somebody was going to get a hernia.

"And I came bursting out of it like a jack-in-a-box and did some kung fu."

Burnett Sued In Profits Row

2008-07-12T23:16:00.001-07:00

The Apprentice producer Mark Burnett is facing legal action from his former business partner in a row over unpaid profits of more than $70 million (?35 million). The two-times Emmy winner, who is also the brains behind reality TV show Survivor, is accused of cheating Conrad Riggs out of profits from the programmes they pitched together to network bosses. Riggs, who worked for Walt Disney Co., filed the suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday . According to the legal papers, the pair produced more than 12 TV projects together, but their business relationship went sour when Burnett reneged on a long-standing agreement, which stated Riggs would receive 10 per cent of the 38-year-old's profits. Riggs claims his advice to Burnett regarding the format of Survivor may have played a big part in helping to sell the desert island show to various networks. The lawsuit reads, "(Riggs) encouraged Burnett to pitch 'Survivor' as if he were telling a story around a campfire - in a way that would allow network executives to visualize the feel and attraction of the show." Riggs claims the payments stopped in February 2007 and that he was evicted from Burnett's company offices earlier this year .
