Steve Jobs Movie Gets Sold; Brad and Angelina Not on Parrot Cay

Steve Jobs Movie Gets Sold; Brad and Angelina Not on Parrot Cay

Some afternoon updates: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not Parrot Cay and didn’t get married there. I spoke to a manager at the Turks and Caicos island resort, who says that “they’re not here.” I believe her. Parrot Cay, where it’s rich rich rich, is also small small small. You have to take a small boat there from T&C. It’s unlikely that the Jolie-Pitt nuptials could be accommodated. Also, Pitt’s bff, George Clooney, has been in Mexico over the holiday as a guest some resort owner who’s gotten a lot of publicity out of it.

Meanwhile, the Ashton Kutcher movie about Steve Jobs, called “jOBS,” has found a distributor. Open Road picked up the film, which also closes Sundance this year. (That’s not a great spot, btw. If “Jobs” were terrific, it would be playing on the first weekend.) Open Road recently distributed the very good but smallish “End of Watch” with Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena. Dermot Mulroney, Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, J.K. Simmons and Matthew Modine co-star in “jOBS.” The movie opens on April 13th.

One last thing about Brad and Angelina: if that story had been true about their Christmas Day wedding, People magazine would already have an issue on the stands with exclusive pictures. Where Brangelina goes, People is there, with an open wallet.

 

Oscar Voters Sing “One Day More” But The Hour Draws Near

Academy Award voters have one day more, as they sing in “Les Miserables,” to get their ballots in for nominations. Tomorrow, January 4th, 5pm, and it’s over until final round voting. Yes, it’s a mad dash for the last stack of DVDs you’ve avoided all through Christmas. Presumably, you’ve seen the major films, from “Les Miz” to “Silver Linings” to “Lincoln,” “Argo,” and “Zero Dark Thirty.” But what about “Compliance”? (Forget it.) “Bernie” (very funny, well done, but Indie Spirit Awards). “Skyfall” too commercial? Not at all. Javier Bardem over the top? Who isn’t? “Intouchables”? Face it, you loved it. “Django”? It’s great, don’t worry. And what about all these other DVDs? “The Deep Blue Sea,” for example. (In a different year, maybe.) Nicole Kidman? She was good, admit it. Robert DeNiro? Comeback! Actresses, not so easy after Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, and Marion Cotillard. Naomi Watts, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, Rachel Weisz. Quick quick quick. If only we had another week! (PS Don’t forget Alan Arkin!)

Brie Larson Will Star in First Feature Produced by George Soros’ Nephew

Brie Larson Will Star in First Feature Produced by George Soros’ Nephew

Exclusive: Billionaire philanthropist and Democratic fundraiser George Soros has a nephew named Jeffrey, who also happens to lead the board of directors for Los Angeles’s Museum of Contemporary Art. And now Jeffrey, well endowed with funds to produce movies, is going to make his first feature. I’m told “Basmati Blues,” shot entirely in India, will star up and comer Brie Larson (“United States of Tara”).

The blonde ingenue has five films just about in the can including the directorial debut of actor Joseph Gordon Levitt and a possible new film from the great Peter Bogdanovich. The word is that Larson is about to get a push along the lines of Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain. I’m told she beat out a lot of “vets” including (one of my personal faves) Kate Hudson for this American girl in Bollywood musical. Dan Baron is directing, and there’s a ton of original music including new songs by the hot group Sugarland.

As for Soros, he’s produced one documentary, but has a lengthy history preparing for this chapter in his career in Hollywood. Also, having billions in the bank is very helpful. He won’t have to “curry” favor with anyone on this project. A male lead, by the way, who is Indian and can sing (Brie sings, evidently) is being looked for now.

Adele Must Choose Between Oscars and Golden Globes for “Skyfall” Appearance

Adele Must Choose Between Oscars and Golden Globes for “Skyfall” Appearance

The clock is ticking down on the Golden Globes show for January 13th on NBC. But who will perform? Among the music stars nominated for Best Song are Adele, Taylor Swift, and Keith Urban. All three will have decisions to make because the Academy Awards won’t be so keen to have performers who’ve already exposed their artistry on what’s considered a less than rival program.

For Adele, it’s a bigger quandary than for the others. She hasn’t been on American TV since the Grammy Awards in February 2012. Her pregnancy curtailed the rest of her year. And yet she had the biggest album of the year coupled with a huge hit in the theme from “Skyfall.” Even though the song is nominated for z Golden Globe, Adele has to watch it: the Globes are to the Oscars what the American Music Awards are to the Grammys. And the latter doesn’t allow performers who’ve appeared in that year’s former. Will Adele chance not doing the Academy Awards? I should think not. If she’s smart, she’ll wait for the big show and skip the G’s.

Keith Urban and Taylor Swift have the same decisions, but with less impact. Their songs are not guaranteed Oscar nominees. Ironically, this year we’ll all know what is an Oscar nominee on Thursday before the Globes. I suppose any performer could pull out at the last minute on Thursday morning from the Globes show once they know if it’s a conflict with the Oscars. Urban’s song, “For You,” does seem like a cinch though, along with “Skyfall,” “Suddenly” from “Les Miz” and one or two others. Expect a lot of maneuvering with Golden Globe coordinators by 10am on January 10th, after the Oscar noms sink in.

The Producers Guild of America just announced its nominees for Best Picture. Their ten choices are pretty much in line with what should be the Oscar 10 Best Pictures.

Springsteen MusiCares Show Brings A List Including Sting, Elton John, Patti Smith

Springsteen MusiCares Show Brings A List Including Sting, Elton John, Patti Smith

Bruce Springsteen’s Person of the Year dinner for MusiCares is going to be a star studded affair. The talent line up for the February 8th blow out includes Alabama Shakes, Jackson Browne, Kenny Chesney, Ben Harper, Emmylou Harris, Faith Hill, Jim James (of the group My Morning Jacket), Elton John, Juanes, John Legend, Natalie Maines, Tim McGraw, Tom Morello, Mumford & Sons, Patti Smith, Mavis Staples, Sting, Eddie Vedder and Neil Young.

Smith, of course, had her biggest hit with Springsteen’s “Because the Night.” It’s too bad the Pointer Sisters aren’t coming, to sing “Fire.” Missing from the roster are some old Springsteen faves like Gary U.S. Bonds, Darlene Love, and Jesse Malin, as well as Southside Johnny or the E Street Band–but you can’t have everyone or everything. There’s also –this is odd– no mention of Mrs. S, Patti Scialfa. I hope she’s included.

MusiCares, meantime, has set up a Hurricane Sandy Relief fund for musicians in need out here on the East Coast. I know one musician (I can’t give names without permission) who I’m sure has contacted them after his house was destroyed out in Belle Harbor. If you’re connected to the music biz in any way and need assistance, go to www.musicares.com for info. They are a great and responsive organization.

Meantime, this may be the only sighting of Springsteen on Grammy weekend. I’ve been told that he’s not so keen on appearing on the Grammy show since his album “Wrecking Ball,” was relegated to Best Rock Album, a category that isn’t televised. At least it was nominated for something. Van Morrison’s beautiful “Born to Sing-No Plan Be” didn’t get bupkis.

 

Whitney Houston Was NOT Murdered, By the Way

Whitney Houston Was NOT Murdered, By the Way

Over the holiday a private investigator no one’s ever heard of grabbed some cheap headlines by claiming that Whitney Houston was murdered last year. As we approach the one year anniversary of Whitney’s tragic death next month, let me reassure you: she was not murdered. There was no foul play. There may have been a lot of questionable judgments, and questionable people around her. But Whitney died as the police said, of drowning thanks to a heart attack brought on by her terrible cocaine addiction.

Just in case you’re wondering, an actual licensed detective and law enforcement person was on the scene that night. He was in the room shortly after Whitney died. And this is what he says to me, exclusively:

“I can only wonder what Mr. Huebl’s real motivation is by associating his name with the devastating loss of Whitney Houston after the fact. Planning on writing a book, sell a movie idea or just seeking fame, who knows. Hired by someone or not, if he had any respect for his former career in law enforcement he would turn over any intel he thinks he has valid or not to the BHPD. Let them vet the information to renew the investigation or involve federal authorities. It would have been the correct and ethical thing to do.

Considering the circumstances, everyone on the scene to include the paramedics, BHPD, coroner, hotel management and hotel security team provided the utmost dignity and professional support. The care taken in protecting the integrity of the investigation was skilled, cautious and through without self-hype.

With humility and heavy heart, I was there that night. Mr. Huebl’s is allowed his view of the world but really has no right to attach himself to this tragedy’s orbit.”

Indeed, unlike with some other celebrities, Whitney Houston was worth more alive than dead. Her death was the last thing anyone wanted, and there was nothing to gain by it. I shudder when I think of what happened to Whitney–her death is really a tragedy. But it was an accident, a confluence of the many bad things that had happened to her or she had brought to bear on herself. She will be in everyone’s thoughts this year at the Grammys, no doubt.

Al Gore’s Current TV Sold For $500 Million to Al Jazeera

Al Gore’s Current TV Sold For $500 Million to Al Jazeera

UPDATE:  All of this is probably moot this evening as CurrentTV has been sold to Al Jazeera for $500 million. They’re going to shut it down and start a new American based version of their own channel using CurrentTV as its foundation. Don’t know how my pal Joy Behar will fit into that– Al Jazeera is not a lot of laughs.

Al Gore’s Current TV cable channel–which I’ve never been able to find — is in danger of being dropped by Time Warner Cable. New York subscribers received a notice today that Current TV was one of many staples on the cable box — those channels where you’re not sure what’s going on and a few that are brand names–which aren’t financially feasible to carry anymore. Ovation, the arts channel, has already been dropped. Time Warner Cable is not owned anymore by Time Warner, they just have the name, and their service in the New York area has been a big problem ever since Hurricane Sandy.

Here’s the list of channels that could be gone very soon. I’m surprised about Starz, which carries decent original programming even thought they recently cancelled “Boss.” Not surprised about ShopNBC, where two guys hawk quartz watches in the middle of the night. And Lifetime! Not Lifetime! Also, the NHL isn’t even playing hockey. Who would be watching their channels right now? What are they showing? Ice? Melting?

The notice reads:

“Time Warner Cable’s agreements with programmers and broadcasters to carry their services and stations routinely expire from time to time. We are usually able to obtain renewals or extensions of such agreements, but in order to comply with applicable regulations, we must inform you when an agreement is about to expire. The following agreements are due to expire soon, and we may be required to cease carriage of one or more of these services/stations in the near future:

AAJ, Africa Channel, Africa Channel HD, Chinese Channel, Chinese Cinema, CNC World, Current TV, E!, E! HD, Ecuavisa, Encore, Encore HD, Encore Action, Encore Drama, Encore Love, Encore Suspense, Encore Family, Encore Westerns, GOL TV, GOL TV HD, Hallmark, Hallmark HD, Hallmark Movie Channel HD, Halogen, IFC, IFC HD, Jus Punjabi, KBN, LATV, Lifetime, Lifetime HD, Lifetime Movie Network, Lifetime Movie Network HD, Lifetime Real Women, Media Korea TV (MKTV), Music Choice, News 12, NHL Center Ice, NHL Network, NHL Network HD, Ovation, Ovation HD, Polski Radio, ShopNBC, Smithsonian HD, STARZ!, STARZ! HD, Starz Cinema, Starz Comedy, Starz Comedy HD, Starz Edge, Starz Edge HD, Starz in Black, Starz Kids and Family, Starz Kids and Family HD, Style Network, Style Network HD, Supercanal, Telemicro International, The Bangladesh Channel, TV Polonia, WE, WE HD, and Youtoo TV.”

 

“Les Miz” Beats “Django” for Number 2 on New Year’s Eve

“Les Miz” Beats “Django” for Number 2 on New Year’s Eve

Which was a better way to celebrate the new year? A wild three hour comedy about slavery and the Civil War or a three hour musical about a student revolt in France in the early 1800s? If you guessed “Les Miserables,” you were correct. Tom Hooper’s magnificent spectacle edged back over Quentin Tarantino’s hilarious and serious “Django Unchained” on New Year’s Eve for second place to “The Hobbit.” “Les Miz” did about $6.3 million to the $5.1 for “Django.” The two films are big hits and having a lot of fun seesawing back and forth on the box office list. There’s an irony there too because Hooper’s Oscar winning success “The King’s Speech” was for The Weinstein Company, which has “Django.” Otherwise, the box office was steady as she goes, with “Jack Reacher” still in fifth place and getting beaten by “Parental Guidance.” “Silver Linings Playbook” added another million dollars plus last night, bringing it to over $28 million.

Marvin Hamlisch Mysteriously Stiffed By New York Times in Year End Wrap Up

Marvin Hamlisch Mysteriously Stiffed By New York Times in Year End Wrap Up

Someone at the New York Times doesn’t like composer Marvin Hamlisch. Hamlisch was left out of any mention in this year’s “The Lives They Lived” special New York Times Magazine. He was also omitted from a video feature on musicians and composers who died in 2012 that included everyone from Dave Brubeck to Levon Helm and Davy Jones of the Monkees.

It’s not like the Times didn’t have notice about Hamlisch — who wrote the seminal Broadway hit “A Chorus Line,” won two Oscars, and is best known for “The Way We Were”– all around them. He was the subject of a big tribute on New Year’s Eve by Lincoln Center and PBS. More than a dozen stars performed his music. Not only that, he also was toasted at a beautiful memorial service earlier this fall at the Juilliard School by another long list of stars starting with Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, and Liza Minnelli– and the latter attended all of his pre-funeral gatherings at the Campbell home on Madison Avenue. Former President Bill Clinton even spoke at his funeral.

But someone at the Times either has complete amnesia or has some kind of weird grudge against Hamlisch. The strange thing is, when Hamlisch died suddenly this summer at age 67, this site was flooded with stories from his friends and fans about all his good deeds. There wasn’t a person who knew him, including his ex, Carole Bayer Sager, who didn’t literally sing his praises. Carly Simon, who sang Hamlisch’s “Nobody Does it Better,” was bereft.

But no Times, even though “The Lives They Lived” featured Brooke Shields’ mother. Good work.
