Last Update on 05-15-2008 at 06:19:14from Eyewitness News Online "American Idol"-Battle Of The Davids LOS ANGELES It's David versus David in the "American Idol" finals. David Archuleta and David Cook both make it. But all Syesha Mercado could say was "thank you" after Ryan Seacrest announced the results of this week's vote. He says more than 56 million people weighed in on the decision. But Paula Abdul had a feeling about what was going to happen. Earlier this week, she said she didn't think Syesha has been good enough to make it into the final round. Simon Cowell predicts the final battle for the next "American Idol" will be a "real humdinger."
CANNES, France Good thing Brangelina loves kids because they're having twins. Once Angelina Jolie's twins are born, she and Brad Pitt will have a brood equal to "The Brady Bunch:" six. That's how Jack Black confirmed to Natalie Morales of the "Today" show that Jolie is expecting twins, and then, Jolie said it was true. Morales was interviewing Jolie and Black together at the Cannes Film Festival for their film, "Kung Fu Panda." Jolie won't say when the babies will arrive, only that she's due "in a few months." She also won't reveal the sex of the babies, saying "we'd like to keep that private." The entire interview airs this morning on the "Today" show. "Er" - Linda Cardellini PASADENA, Calif. It seems you can't have a TV drama without an end-of-season cliff-hanger. And, Linda Cardellini says there's one tonight on "ER." She says "there's a big explosion." She agrees with some viewers that "ER" is "not without tragedy or fire or explosion." Explosions aside, Cardellini is thankful her character Sam is with John Stamos' character, Dr. Gates. She says "always as an actress it's fun to have a new relationship because you know they'll be writing some interesting things for you because people in new relationships are crazy." "Before The Rains" - Linus Roache WASHINGTON What do you do when you've realized all your goals by the time you're 30? If you're Linus Roache, you take 18 months off and re-evaluate your life. Roache says he was "longing for more meaning and purpose" and knew he wasn't going to get it from his work. So he went to India, studied evolutionary enlightenment and returned a changed man. He decided to branch out from low-budget, artsy films and take roles like Bruce Wayne's father in "Batman Begins" and assistant D-A Cutter in "Law and Order." His new movie, "Before the Rains," opens in more theaters tomorrow. "The Sopranos" - The Discussion Continues NEW YORK "The Sopranos" ended about year ago. But, the discussion about "how" it ended, and what the series means to pop culture, continues. More than 60 college professors from around the world will gather at Fordham University Lincoln Campus to analyze the "The Sopranos." The symposium is called "The Sopranos: A Wake." Sessions are planned on gender, parenthood, ethnicity and cuisine, all of them based on "Sopranos" episodes. The event is being held May 22nd through the 25th. "Nine" - Daniel Day-Lewis LOS ANGELES Can you picture Daniel Day-Lewis as an Italian Casanova-type? And, can he sing? Variety says Day-Lewis is in talks to play the lead in the new movie musical of the play, "Nine," now that Javier Bardem has dropped out. The role is a famous movie director who's trying to balance all the women in his life. It's inspired by Federico Fellini's film, "8 and a half." Antonio Banderas played the role on Broadway in 2003. John Stamos took over later in that run. For the upcoming movie, the women will be played by Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard , Sophia Loren and Judi Dench. Back in 2003, Jane Krakowski won a Tony for playing one of the women. "The Gong Show" Auditions NEW YORK If you can do a stupid human trick, you might be right for "The Gong Show." Stupid pet tricks are fine, too. Open casting calls for "The Gong Show with Dave Attell" start Monday at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Comedy Central says Attell is looking for the "wackiest, wildest, most bizarre, unique performers out there." To register for auditions, e-mail gongshowcastingaol.com. The new Gong Show premieres July 17th. Canadian Celebrity Hair Awards - Sandra Oh, Scott Speedman, Seth Rogan BURNABY, B.C. Hairdressers across Canada have voted Sandra Oh as having the sexiest hair on a Canadian actress. Her "sexy, long layers" are what did it for the AG Hair Cosmetics' 8th annual Best Canadian Celebrity Hair Awards. Scott Speedman's hair wins for its "textured, rugged look." Avril Lavigne's "peek-a-boo highlights" helped her get the most votes in the Canadian musician category. And, Canadian hairdressers are being kind to Seth Rogan by saying he has the "most interesting and unique hairstyle." Read Yesterday's Entertainment News |
