Roy Edward Disney passes away at 79

Roy E. Disney, the nephew of Walt Disney whose powerful behind-the-scenes influence on The Walt Disney Co. led to the departure of former chief Michael Eisner, has died. He was 79.

The company announced that Disney died Wednesday in Newport Beach, Calif., after a yearlong bout with stomach cancer.

Disney biographer remembers Roy E. Disney

By BOB THOMAS, Associated Press Writer Bob Thomas, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 47 mins ago

LOS ANGELES — The scene was Van Nuys Airport in the San Fernando Valley. Patty and Roy E. Disney were preparing for a flight to New York to help promote a book about Roy's father who found the money to realize the dreams of his brother, Walt Disney. Patty and Roy were seated in the right front row. They were holding hands as the plane, which Roy owned, trundled down the runway to prepare for the flight.

They still held hands as the plane climbed over Burbank and began the flight east. They finally loosened their grips over the mountains and Roy commented to a fellow traveler, "We always hold hands at the takeoff. So far we've never had a problem."

It was 1998 and we were on our way to New York to tout the book I had written about Roy O. Disney, older brother of Walt Disney. We would also visit where both Disneys were born in Illinois, and Kansas City, Mo., where they lived before their arrival to Los Angeles.

Roy Edward Disney, who died Wednesday at age 79, had been an ideal source about his father and Uncle Walt, whose biography I had also written. He recalled that his father was ambivalent about whether his son should join the studio.

"I think he was apprehensive about that if I did get involved in doing things for Walt, that he would not treat me as well as he did other people," Roy told me, adding "Of course he treated everybody pretty rough.

"I have always said he was very, very fair to me, If I did crappy work, he told me so. If he liked what I did, he told me that too."

Young Roy tried out on the studio's "True Life Adventures" nature film series and suggested two scripts to Walt but got no reply. Then he clicked on the idea for "An Otter in the Family." He made four more "True Life Adventures" before Walt died.

Roy found cooperative co-workers in far-off locations, but the studio workers were not as understanding. They concocted derogatory terms for the son of the boss. It would be a long time before they would recognize his contributions.

Roy Edward's work required long periods in the wilds, but he was able to court Patricia Dailly, New Orleans-born daughter of newsman Pete Dailly. On one of his flights back to L.A. from Utah, Roy was greeted by his mother and Patricia. His mother said to her son, "Well, aren't you going to kiss her?" He did.

When Roy started on a trip back to Utah, he mused, "I've got to go back and propose to the girl." But out of his shyness he didn't. Instead, when he got to Salt Lake City, Roy wrote a five-page letter to Patty. At the end he suggested, "By the way, I think we ought to think about getting married." She sent a telegram: "Hell yes!"

Millions doller is seeking by Michael Jacksons' estate administrators

By ANTHONY McCARTNEY (AP)
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The administrators of Michael Jackson's estate and a cadre of attorneys are seeking millions for managing the King of Pop's affairs after death, court documents filed Tuesday show.

It's unclear how much exactly will be paid out.

The administrators of Jackson's estate, attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain, are seeking five percent of money the estate has earned so far.

The administrators and attorneys have not been paid since Jackson's death on June 25, the filings state.

The estate may have earned $100 million or more

with the sale of rights to the concert film "This Is It," new music releases and merchandising agreements.

But Jackson's estate also faces significant debt and a lawsuit cites at least 10 lawsuits that are still pending. They include suits over the rights to "Thriller," Jackson's iconic song and music video directed by John Landis, and lawsuits filed by former associates.

The filings state that a detailed accounting of the estate's earnings is not ready, but attorneys have filed some financial records for the judge to review.

Many experts believe that Jackson's estate earnings could eclipse those of another famous, and profitable,

music icon — Elvis Presley.

Michael Jackson's 'Beat It'

"Unlike the typical estate, the operation of Michael Jackson's estate is more akin to the operation of a multimillion dollar business enterprise," attorney Jeryll S. Cohen wrote in a filing.

She wrote that many of the attorneys working the case have spent up to 14 hours a day on the case, and that not approving the fees soon will create a financial hardship.

Branca is asking the five percent be paid to his firm. The filing states he is not asking for a personal fee for administration of the estate.

Payments would also go to a variety of firms, including one representing the interests of Jackson's children.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff has scheduled a hearing for Jan. 4 to decide how much can be paid out.

Underdog, Reitman now an Oscar favorite

NEW YORK (AP) -- Two years ago, director Jason Reitman's "Juno" was the consummate Oscar underdog. An independent film without A-list stars, it went on to earn four Oscar nominations, winning best screenplay for Diablo Cody.

Reitman's new, widely feted film, "Up in the Air," won't have the luxury of a sneak attack. It solidified its status as an Academy Awards favorite Tuesday, when it was nominated for six Golden Globes, the most of any film.

Reitman has said he was concerned the expectations surrounding "Up in the Air" — starring George Clooney

as a frequent flier who fires people for a living — might detract from the joy of its success. When he watched the Globes announcements — while fittingly jet-lagged from a recent flight from Los Angeles to New York — he seemed to be taking to the new role.

"Whatever my fears were about having anticipation, there's nothing as exciting as watching live TV and not knowing if your name is going to be called out," said the 32-year-old Reitman, who was nominated for best director and best screenplay with co-writer Sheldon Turner. "It's an overwhelming rush."

One of Reitman's first phone calls was to his father, Ivan Reitman, the well-regarded director of hit comedies such as "Stripes" and "Ghostbusters." He's also a producer of "Up in the Air," an of-the-moment recession tale, adapted from Walter Kirn's novel.

UNDERDOG MOVIE TRAILER

"It's great to be the producer of this kind of movie and sort of share in its success and the goodwill that comes with it," Ivan Reitman said. "But as a parent it's kind of this remarkable emotional moment that's kind of hard to describe."

Aside from best film (drama), "Up in the Air" also earned a nomination for Clooney as best actor (drama) and nominations for best supporting actress for Vera

Farmiga (who plays Clooney's mirror-image romantic interest) and Anna Kendrick (who plays Clooney's colleague).

"Up in the Air" is generally considered a likely candidate for a best picture Oscar nomination as well as for other categories. It has received excellent reviews, landed on many critics' Top 10 lists and won four National Board of Review awards, including best film. It has clearly reverberated in hard times.

But it will have stiff competition. Another critical darling, the Iraq war drama "The Hurt Locker," has been building steam, picking up awards. Before it

received three Golden Globe nominations Tuesday, it was picked as the best film of the year by the New York Critics Circle and the Los Angeles Critics Association.

James Cameron's new sci-fi movie, "Avatar," also may be a strong contender. Its Oscar prospects are less clear because it's a relatively late arrival, screening for critics for the first time last week. But early reviews have largely been glowing, and it will surely be a much larger hit at the box office.

"Avatar" earned only two Globe nominations Tuesday, for best picture (drama) and best director for

Cameron, but the Globes have never been a good prognosticator of effects-heavy films since they don't have technical categories like the Oscars do.

Cameron, nevertheless, weighed in on Twitter: "Sorry Hollywood Foreign Press Association, but It's Complicated did not have a better script than Avatar."

Jason Reitman has long been an avid Twitter user. Responding to a congratulatory tweet from Cody, he wrote: "THANK YOU! But not the same without you!"

In an interview last month, Reitman said: "It's funny, I grew up always thinking I'd love to have movies that were always part of the conversation, not realizing

that being part of the conversation diminishes the possible joy from the moment it happens. When I got nominated for `Juno,' it was SUCH a surprise. ... There was nothing on the road to the Oscars that made me think, 'Oh, I'm going to get nominated for an Oscar.'"

That, though, isn't the case for "Up in the Air."

Golden Globes nominated 'Glee,' 'Modern Family' for TV series

No one can lay a glove on the Golden Globes. It's the award show that has survived so many crazy incidents and outrageous behavior over the years -- remember the time a Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. member was suspended for selling a photo of Tom Selleck to a tabloid? -- that it has developed an an almost absolute immunity to criticism.

Showbiz journalists have penned detailed exposes, columnists (me included) have mocked the HFPA's picks, TV critics have panned the show, but nothing, not even the infamous choice of Pia Zadora as new female star of the year, has been able to stop the Globes from motoring along as one of Hollywood's most unlikely institutions.

I suspect the Globes owe their robust health less to their value as an award season barometer than to the fact that everyone in Hollywood, even the eye-rolling studio executives who privately ridicule the group's tiny cadre of obscure international journalists, enjoys the idea of having an award show that is as raucous and silly as the Academy Awards is stuffy and tame. The Globes are Hollywood's ultimate guilty pleasure. If the Oscars are as earnest as an Ed Zwick movie, the Globes are as daffy and unpredictable as a Sacha Baron Cohen comedy.

They are also refreshingly populist, which surely has earned the Globes a big dose of goodwill from the studios, which have been complaining for years about the Oscars' fondness for dark, dreary dramas that barely make a dent at the box office. No one will accuse the Globes of dreariness. In fact, the Globes' nominations are clearly weighted toward pop appeal, with a separate (but equal) category for best musical or comedy, for its best picture and best actor and actress awards.That's why this year's nominations have far more in common with the Joe Beer Can tastes of the multiplexes than what we'll see on Feb. 2nd, when the Oscar nominations arrive. While "Up in the Air" and "The Hurt Locker" continued to roll up nominations, the Globes made room for far more populist films. Its best musical or comedy film category was dominated by nominations for such broad comedies as "The Hangover," "Julie & Julia" and "It's Complicated," which, with the possible exception of "The Hangover," are long-shots for Oscar best picturedom. In fact, if we were giving out odds, "It's Complicated," a frothy comedy from Nancy Meyers, would be a 900-1 shot for an Oscar best picture nod.

The Globes best actor in a musical or comedy category is also weighted toward mainstream entertainment, with Robert Downey Jr. (from "Sherlock Holmes") and Matt Damon (from "The Informant!") getting nominations, while Sandra Bullock, the kind of actress who rarely gets any love from the academy, earned a Globes nomination for both of her 2009 hits, a best musical or comedy actress nod for "The Proposal" and a best dramatic actress nod for "The Blind Side." (The odds of Bullock getting an Oscar nomination for "The Proposal": 9,000-1.)

Of course, big movie stars -- especially big movie stars who are willing to show up for the Globes TV broadcast -- seem to cast a potent hypnotic spell over the 83 international journalists who make up the HFPA. The bigger the star, the bigger the whopper when it comes to unlikely nominations. In 2005, Nicole Kidman earned a best dramatic actress nod for "Birth," a little-seen drama that ended up making a grand total of $5 million. In 2006, Leonardo Di Caprio landed two best dramatic actor nominations, one for "The Departed," one for "Blood Diamond." In 2007, Angelina Jolie -- who seems to have a Globes nomination wrapped up from the minute the cameras start rolling on one of her movies -- scored a nomination for "A Mighty Heart," a forgettable political drama that was a mighty flop.

This year the stars are equally dominant. As you scan the nominations, some of the choices, notably Damon for "The Informant!," Julia Roberts for best musical or comedy actress in the blink-and-you-missed-it "Duplicity" and Tobey Maguire for best dramatic actor in "Brothers," seem geared far more for the value of their appearance on the Globes broadcast than any appreciation for their bravura acting. (The odds of Maguire earning a best actor Oscar this year: 90,000-1.) 

Speaking of odds, the easiest odds to lay are that the Globes will lavish attention on a film bankrolled by Harvey Weinstein, who over the years has earned the reputation of being a beneficent Medici-style patron to the HFPA. Every year, some Weinstein Co. production scores with the Globes, even though it is largely ignored by most critics groups and Oscar voters. In 2006, the Globes gave a best drama nomination to "Bobby," a wooden, now-forgotten drama that was released by Weinstein. In 2007, the Globes mysteriously expanded the best drama category to seven pictures, perhaps to make room for "The Great Debaters," another Weinstein production.

This year the Globes is giving the love to "Nine." Even though the Weinstein-produced film has been getting a woefully lukewarm reception at early screenings, it managed to earn five nominations, including a host of acting nods (just as the Weinstein's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" did last year). Unfortunately, according to early screening-goers, the film is too distant and chilly to be populist entertainment.

That goes against the grain, since the Globes have little interest in dark or depressing navel-gazing, which is probably why the gloomiest of this year's awards contenders -- "The Road," "The Lovely Bones" and "Bright Star" -- were films that came away empty-handed, at least in terms of major nominations. Give the Globes credit for consistency. Despite all of their members' oddball behavior, from the cat fights at cocktail parties to an incident in which an HFPA member grabbed Brendan Fraser's bottom, the Golden Globes know how to put on a star-friendly show. Call it lightweight or call it giddy fun, but in Hollywood, that's what they call entertainment.

Award winner INVICTUS Top of the Movie Week

MOVIEmeter:  Up 275% in popularity this week.

Director:                    Clint Eastwood

Writers (WGA):      Anthony Peckham (screenplay) John Carlin (book)

Release Date:           11 December 2009 (USA)

Plot:                            Nelson Mandela, in his first term as the South African President, initiates a unique venture to unite the
                                    apartheid-torn land: enlist the national rugby team on a mission to win the 1995 Rugby World Cup

Awards:                     Nominated for 3 Golden Globes. Another 3 wins & 8 nominations.

INVICTUS TRAILER

From director Clint Eastwood, 'Invictus' tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africas rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africas underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match.

The poem 'INVICTUS' by William Ernest Henley, from which Nelson Mandela drew strength while in prison.

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

Movie Review:
This magnificent political biography also happens to be a very good movie. Not a great movie, but a great and important story, well told and even better acted by its two leads. Lessons in history and leadership should all be so charismatic.The movie has rhythms and totems unfamiliar to American audiences, notwithstanding its trio of American superstars: Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon on screen and Clint Eastwood behind the camera. It’s also perhaps overlong at 2 1/4 hours.Freeman easily inhabits the iconic Nelson Mandela: twinkling eyes, ready smile, quiet dignity, rolling vocal intonations. For an African-American born and raised in Jim Crow era Tennessee, playing one of the two greatest black leaders of the 20th Century (the other being Dr. Martin Luther King), is a career accomplishment of the highest order.

Damon muscled up impressively, amply filling out his rugby shirt. With lightened hair and chiseled head, he looks every centimeter the Afrikaner ideal. Playing the good-guy hero comes naturally to this All American superstar, though he impresses more than usual here by playing a good-old-boy rugby star, complete with an apparently accurate Afrikaans accent.

Bottom line: American audiences can count on the surefire satisfaction of a happy ending to a consequential story delivered by familiar stars shining brightly.

In the rest of the world, especially the British Commonwealth and other rugby playing nations, Invictus will play like a modern and secular Greatest Story Ever Told. Hallelujah.

Courtney Love loses her daughters' legal guardianship

Courtney Love loses custody of Frances Bean Cobain: court

Courtney Love has lost legal guardianship of Frances Bean Cobain, her daughter with the late Kurt Cobain, according to reports

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Beleaguered US rocker Courtney Love has reportedly lost legal guardianship custody of her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean, child of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, according to court documents.

A Los Angeles judge passed custody of the17-year-old Frances has been put in the care of her grandmother and aunt -- Cobain's mother and sister -- according to the documents published on the TMZ.com celebrity website.

Reasons for the custody battle are unknown, but it isn't the first time Love, 45, has experienced such problems -- Bean was taken under the care of her grandmother in 2003 after Love was arrested for possession of drugs without a prescription.



Love has had a long history of debt, arrests over drugs and parole violations since Cobain committed suicide in 1994 at the age of 27, near the height of the grunge-rock band's success.

Love has not released an official statement on the ruling, but TMZ reports that her lawyer, Keith Fink, told the website: ""Courtney wants to say she loves her daughter and she's the most important thing in her life."

The temporary guardianship was established on Friday, TMZ reported. Love was not present at the hearing. The new guardians are relatives of Frances's father, but allegedly do not have power over the trust established for Frances after the Nirvana frontman's death.

Watch  a Video Report on the event




"Life is about choices," she said in a statement in 2005. "And I've chosen to move forward with my life in a healthy and positive way."

The best way to get Love's (frequently unhinged) comments on a matter used to be by monitoring her Twitter account. Alas, that account was closed this autumn, after Love was sued for libel for calling a fashion designer a "nasty lying hosebag thief".

We must now rely on infrequent postings to the singer's Facebook group. At the time of writing, Love's last post was: "oh jesus, i once got an ex ex boyfriend or whatever you w ant to calthat creep a hooker and i guess it must have been thru this chick, i didnt do the getting: however. it was a bday present arent i just the libertine!" We are not sure what this means.

Jennifer Hudson is going to celebrate her first emotional Cristmas.

Jennifer Hudson gets her first holiday special to-be-emotional
the Academy Award-winning singer and actress travels to Chicago to relive childhood Christmases.She said I'll Be Home for Christmas" special featuring duets with Michael Bublé in November. The special will air Monday

Jennifer Hudson doesn't wait for December to roll around to start celebrating the Christmas season. No, she goes way early.

"It's officially the holiday season come November 1st," Hudson says. "All my life, I started celebrating and playing my Christmas music and looking for my Christmas movies the day after Halloween. That's my thing. I like to get into the spirit."

This year, Hudson is in the holiday programming mix with "Jennifer Hudson: I'll Be Home for Christmas," airing Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.

The special was shot a month ago in her hometown, Chicago. It includes Michael Bublé, who sings with Hudson.

"I had the best time doing it," she says. "It was like a dream for me. It was like being in my own holiday film in a way."

The idea for the special came from her management team. She then set out to select the songs.

"I must say that was the hardest thing," Hudson said. "I went online and I looked up Christmas songs. That was a hard thing to do."

What she came up with was "Silent Night," "The Christmas Song" and "O Holy Night" alone, and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and "Let It Snow" with Bublé.

The Christmas special is the latest in an incredible roller-coaster ride for Hudson. She became a national name in 2004 as a finalist on "American Idol." In 2006, she made her acting debut in "Dreamgirls," a role for which she won an Academy Award. She picked up a Grammy in 2008 for her debut CD.

Later in 2008, her world was rocked when her mother, brother and nephew were shot to death. These days, home for Hudson is a gated community in Florida, where, with her family, she's trying to get used to warm Christmases. In August, she gave birth to a boy, David Daniel Otunga Jr. Dad is pro wrestler David Otunga.

And I am Telling You (Clive Grammy Party) by Jennifer Hudson:

"I was just sitting here taking pictures of my baby with his little Santa Claus hat," she says.

Growing up, Hudson says she loved going to nursing homes to sing Christmas songs for seniors. Now she gets the Christmas list of a less-fortunate child and buys everything on it.

"I was thinking of going to my neighbors and singing Christmas carols," Hudson says, laughing. "Hello, Jennifer Hudson is at your door."

As for the special, Hudson hopes it will become part of the holidays for viewers, the way others have for her.

"The only thing I can hope for, " she says, "and I don't know how realistic it is, but I would love for it to become someone else's tradition to watch my holiday special."

Jenny Sanford: The First Lady Files For Divorce

Jenny Sanford: 20-year marriage could not be repaired.

South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford has decided to divorce her husband and finally filed for.

She says that, she tried many times to reconcile with Gov. Mark Sanford after his affair with an Argentine mistress he famously called his "soul mate." Ultimately, the first lady filed for divorce.

The decision revealed Friday came two days after state lawmakers stopped short of recommending her husband's removal from office for a top-secret June rendezvous with Maria Belen Chapur.

Jenny Sanford, a former Wall Street executive who helped launch her husband's political career, said Friday their 20-year marriage could not be repaired.

"I am still dedicated to keeping the process that lies ahead peaceful for our family," she said in a brief statement.

A day earlier, the governor told reporters he still hoped they could reconcile. On Friday, he blamed himself for what he called "the moral failure that led us to this tragic point."

"Jenny is a great person, and has been a remarkable wife, mother and first lady," he said in a statement. Both Sanfords mentioned their four sons, who have lived with their mother at the family's coastal home on Sullivans Island since she moved out of the governor's mansion in August.

"While our family structure may change, I know that we will both work earnestly to be the best mom and dad we can be to four of the finest boys on earth," Mark Sanford said.

Jenny Sanford's divorce complaint on the grounds of adultery did not mention money, property or custody arrangements.

Earlier this week, Jenny Sanford said in a television interview that it was a simple decision to not stand with the governor when he publicly confessed the affair.

"Certainly his actions hurt me, and they caused consequences for me, but they don't in any way take away my own self-esteem," the 47-year-old told ABC's Barbara Walters, who named her one of the most fascinating people of 2009. "They reflect poorly on him."

Mark Sanford, 49, disappeared for almost a week in late June to see Chapur, leaving his staff and his wife in the dark about where he was. His staff told reporters he was hiking the Appalachian Trail. He returned and tearfully confessed the affair at a rambling news conference.

Jenny Sanford said then she was willing to reconcile with the two-term governor, once mentioned as a possible 2012 GOP presidential contender. She weathered the publication of passionate e-mail exchanges between her husband and Chapur, and an Associated Press interview in which he called his mistress his "soul mate" and admitted "crossing the line" with other women.

Jenny Sanford, who is working on a memoir, said she learned about the affair in January when she found a copy of a letter her husband wrote to Chapur. In the months following, he asked several times to visit his mistress. His wife said no.

"It's one thing to forgive adultery; it's another thing to condone it," she told the AP two days after her husband revealed the affair.

Marjory Wentworth, a close friend of Jenny Sanford, said she knew the filing was coming.

"No matter what the circumstances are, you go through a period that is sort of muddled — you're still a family, even though everyone knew she moved down here. I think it's been that kind of strange transition," said Wentworth, who is South Carolina's poet laureate. "Limbo is a tough place to be."

As first lady, Jenny Sanford has little official role in state government, but she has been a quiet presence since her husband took office in 2003, often attending morning meetings with his top staff and working on a public health campaign.

Born Jennifer Sullivan, the first lady grew up near Chicago. Her grandfather founded the Skil Corp., a power tool manufacturer. She graduated from Georgetown University in 1984 with a degree in finance, then worked for the Wall Street investment banking firm Lazard Freres & Co., where she was a vice president. The Sanfords met in New York in the 1980s, when Mark Sanford also was working in finance.

They married in 1989 and relocated to South Carolina, where Sanford worked in real estate before serving three terms in Congress. He becomes the first sitting governor to divorce in South Carolina, which only started allowing it in 1949.

Over the past few months, he has sought to regain credibility during a statewide apology tour and rebuffed repeated calls to leave office.

On Wednesday, a legislative panel considering whether to impeach him instead recommended a formal rebuke. The panel said his trips to see Chapur in Argentina and his use of state planes for personal and political trips brought "ridicule, dishonor, disgrace and shame" to the state he was twice overwhelmingly elected to lead. Sanford is term-limited and will leave office in January 2011. Asked Thursday whether he had cut off contact with Chapur, a divorced mother of two who has worked as an English interpreter and market researcher, he declined to answer.

The hottest ticket in New York's theatreland: Catherine Zeta-Jones returns to Broadway as star of Sondheim show

Catherine Zeta-Jones returns to Broadway as star of Sondheim show 

Catherine Zeta-Jones is the hottest ticket in New York's theatreland on Sunday night as she makes her much anticipated Broadway debut after nearly 20 years away from the stage in Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music. 

 

The 40-year-old Oscar-winning Welsh actress is starring as Desiree Armfeldt in a revival of Sondheim's 1973 classic musical.

Theatre critics traditionally sharpen their pencils when a Hollywood star takes to the stage. But the initial word from preview audiences was that Miss Zeta-Jones delivers an extremely strong performance.

"Outstanding", "dreamy" and "magnifico" were just some of the words used by preview goers in an overwhelmingly positive reaction on social networking sites. Tickets to see her in the show have been changing hands for £300 (£180) on eBay.

Sir Trevor Nunn, the show's director, said: "She's a theatre gal. She's got music theatre in her blood."

Zeta-Jones first trod the boards as a 12-year-old taking the lead in Annie at the Swansea Grand Theatre.

She later appeared in London's West End before leaving the stage to star first in television in The Darling Buds of May, and then a series of Hollywood films including The Mask of Zorro, Entrapment and Traffic.

She also won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Velma Kelly in the 2002 film version of Chicago.

"It's been something that I've been pining to get back to, theatre in general," she said ahead of Sunday night's opening performance at the Walter Kerr theatre.

"We've been in previews. The audience has been fantastically responsive to us as actors. That gives you the energy and also the courage to play with the material differently each night."

In A Little Night Music she dons a fiery red wig to play a glamorous, veteran actress at a turning point in her career who is reunited with an old lover, now married to a much younger woman.

The British actress, Angela Lansbury, 84, a veteran of 13 Broadway shows, plays her worldly mother. Miss Lansbury said: "The opportunity to be in a musical for goodness sakes at this time is really fantastic."

Zeta-Jones, her husband Michael Douglas and their children Dylan, nine, and Carys, six, have moved from Bermuda to New York for the run.

After it is over she plans to take a role in a play and possibly perform a one-woman song and dance show.

 

AIDS is a personal affair: sayed by French first lady

French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy said Tuesday she had witnessed first-hand the toll that AIDS took on the fashion industry in the 1980s and spoke about her brother's death from the disease.

"I have witnessed the damage that HIV has caused for humanity for some 20 years now," said Bruni-Sarkozy in an interview to TV5Monde television on World AIDS Day.

Recounting her years as a supermodel, Bruni-Sarkozy said "the fashion world was hit head-on by the AIDS pandemic. It really did lose members of its family."

"The fashion industry became aware about this disease very, very early on, because it was a victim of it," she added.

Bruni-Sarkozy, who lost her brother Virginio to AIDS in 2006, last year became an ambassador for the Geneva-based Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

The supermodel-turned-singer has called for greater access to AIDS-fighting drugs to eliminate mother-to-child HIV transmission in poor countries by 2015.

"I am personally very sensitive about this issue," she said in the interview.

But the wife of President Nicolas Sarkozy stressed that her decision to join the global AIDS campaign was not directly linked to her brother's death.

"My brother unfortunately contracted HIV and he died from it," she said.

"But my role with the Global Fund is really not linked to my brother's situation.

"My brother was lucky to live in France, to be treated in France, to have access to care, have access to the best hospitals.

"I am now a spokeswoman for people who have access to nothing."

Since becoming AIDS ambassador, the 41-year Bruni-Sarkozy has travelled to Burkina Faso and visited an AIDS orphanage in Mexico.

The Elysee presidential palace for the first time displayed two large red ribbons on its columns Tuesday to mark World AIDS Day, supporting a cause dear to the first lady.

In another show of French solidarity with people living with HIV and AIDS, the lights were to be switched off for five minutes at the Eiffel Tower at 6:30 pm (1730 GMT).

The Empire State Building and the Brooklyn bridge in New York will also go dark at the same time as part of the "Light for Rights" campaign for more access to AIDS drugs.

The French First Lady - who is married to French President Nicolas Sarkozy - has accepted Woody's offer to appear in his as-yet untitled project, but admits she could be "completely useless".

Carla, 41, was first approached by Woody, 73, last year after he met her and told her she was "wonderful" and gushed he would love to have the supermodel-turned-singer in one of his movies.

Carla - who married Sarkozy two months after meeting him at a dinner party in Paris - said: "He suggested I appear in his next film. I don't know what the role is but I said yes. I go into everything blindly or I'd never do anything at all.

"I'm not an actress at all. Perhaps I'll be completely hopeless but I can't miss an opportunity like this one. When I'm a grandmother I'd like to be able to say I made a film with Woody Allen."

Carla - whose acting experience so far consists of only a few brief film appearances - was seen in an episode of 'The Simpsons' last week in the US where she was portrayed as a sex-mad femme fatale.

Taking back my love (7X)

Verse 1
You said you'd change
But still nothin'
You're still the same
I'm just a part-time lover
And I'm the blame
Shoulda went away
But yet I stayed
With a part-time lover

Chorus:
See some days you would love me
Then you don't, then you do, then you won't,
Then you're here, then you're gone, I'm alone.
Now you got me stressin' out on the phone
But it's the last time
I'm moving on
I'm throwin on my Louboutins (9X)

Verse 2
I left the state
And changed everything
No more 818
For the part-time lover
What goes around
Comes back around
And then you get what you deserve
You part-time lover

Chorus:
See some days you would love me
Then you don't, then you do, then you won't,
Then you're here, then you're gone, I'm alone.
Now you got me stressin out on the phone
But it's the last time
I'm moving on
I'm throwin on my Louboutins (9X)

Bridge:

Watch these red bottoms
And the back of my jeans
Watch me go by babe
You don't know what you got until it's gone
Tail lights is all you'll see
Watch that Benz exit that driveway

Watch me walk it out
Walk it out (2X)
Walk this right up out the house
Walk it out
Boy, watch me walk it out
Walk it out
Walk this right up out the house
I'm throwin on my Louboutins (out the house) (8X)

Why Is She Famous?

Jennifer Lopez got her big start on the TV comedy hit In Living Color as a Fly Girl, but bigger and better things were on the horizon for J. Lo as she moved onto the silver screen with blockbuster flicks like Selena (1997) and Monster-in-Law (2005). And before we could say, "Hey, who's that hot Puerto Rican chick?" Jennifer released hit album after hit album. Is there anything this girl can't do?

Shape:

Jennifer Lopez is about as sexy as any woman can naturally be. Considering that she hasn't had any work done (well, none that we know of), we have to admit that she's a smokin' Latin lady. With her olive skin, sparkling eyes, tantalizing curves, and infamous rear, it's no wonder we love drooling over J. Lo.

And since establishing her own clothing line, JLO, it seems like women worldwide want to be just like Jenny. That's certainly not a problem for us.

Success :

Her performance in Selena didn't only launch her career, it garnered her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in 1998. Unlike many other actresses who need a collection of no-name movies to their credit to finally break through in a blockbuster, most of her movie roles have brand-name recognition.

As for her recording career, who knew that she would become one of the most bankable artists in Sony Music history? Her debut album On the 6 went platinum after two months. When her follow-up album, J.Lo, was released, she became the first female artist to have a No. 1 album and a No. 1 film (The Wedding Planner) in the same week.

On the business front, she has launched two successful clothing lines, JLO by Jennifer Lopez and Sweetface, a collection of fragrances and a Cuban restaurant called Madre's (which closed in July 2008).

We can go on and on about her accomplishments, but we'll sum it up by saying that she'll need to add an extension to her house just to make room for all her money.

Biography

Jennifer Lopez was born in New York City, on July 24, 1969. The daughter of David, a computer programmer, and Guadalupe, a kindergarten teacher, the young Lopez always dreamed of becoming a performer.

With talents in singing and dancing, Jennifer began performing in stage musicals, dancing in a European tour of Golden Musicals of Broadway, a Japanese tour of Synchronicity and local productions of Oklahoma and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Watch N Enjoy Mindy McCready: Guys Do It All The Time

Why Is She Famous?

Mindy McCready became a country music star with the 1996 hit "Guys Do It All The Time," but she really made headlines because of her drug abuse issues, legal problems and her apparent relationship with baseball player Roger Clemens.

Attraction:

Mindy McCready's a pretty blonde with a sweet drawl... yet we can't seem to erase those brutal mug shots of her 2007 arrest from our collective heads. If she cleans up her act and cleans up her looks, Mindy McCready might still have an opportunity to let her pretty southern belle side shine through.

Success:

Mindy McCready has released six albums, including a greatest hits compilation, which would make her quite successful. However, her countless run-ins with the law drags her success rating down a bit.

Biography

Born in Fort Meyers, Florida, on November 30, 1975, Mindy McCready (born Malinda Gayle McCready) grew up in a very strict Pentecostal home, but was nonetheless allowed to pursue a music career from a young age.

At 18 years old, Mindy McCready moved to Nashville, promising her mother that she would go to college if she did not establish herself in the music industry within one year. With handfuls of demo tapes, she knocked on every door in Music City looking for a break. Finally, with only one week to go before her deal with her mother expired, RCA president Joe Galante heard one of her demos and signed Mindy McCready on the spot.

mindy mccready releases ten thousand angels

Ten Thousand Angels, Mindy McCready's debut album, was released in April 1996, backed with high praise from critics. With the strength of the hit "Guys Do It All The Time," the album went multi-platinum and McCready became a star. She did not let up despite the success, however, and released If I Don't Stay the Night in 1997, followed by I'm Not So Tough in 1999. Though these albums, along with 2002's self-titled album and 2004's All American Country, failed to replicate the success of her debut, they still constitute a great body of work and Mindy McCready is considered a big country star as a result.
In 2004 and 2005, Mindy McCready unfortunately ran into some personal troubles. First, she fraudulently obtained an addictive painkiller, and was then charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a suspended license. After her boyfriend was arrested and convicted of severely assaulting her, Mindy McCready was so shaken by the events that she turned to drugs, overdosing in July 2005. She has since been in recovery and her fans continue to stand by her through these hard times.

Miley Cyrus feat Timbaland - We Belong To The Music (Full Song) Lyrics!

Why Is She Famous?

To every girl under the age of 13, Miley Cyrus is better known as Hannah Montana, the character she plays on her hit TV show of the same name. However, to the rest of us, she’s that cute, young girl who seems to be in the news all the freakin’ time. We should probably get used to that, as this Nashville native is basically poised to take over the world.

She’s an actress, singer and kajillionaire, as well as the young daughter of former country music star/mullet-enthusiast Billy Ray Cyrus -- but that’s not holding her back. Her wholesome demeanor and girl-next-door looks make her both teen-friendly and parent-approved. In other words, she’s the perfect marketing tool. Movies, No. 1 albums, endorsements, a clothing line -- you name it and Miley Cyrus has likely had her hands in it. There’s no fighting it, so sit back and get swept up by Miley Cyrus mania.

Biography

Miley Cyrus was born Destiny Hope Cyrus in 1992, to parents Billy Ray and Leticia. As a happy little toddler, she was smiling almost constantly, earning her the nickname ”Miley.” Unlike many people in rural Tennessee who are bitten by ticks, Miley Cyrus was bitten by the acting bug at an early age. In keeping with the Hollywood tradition of nepotism, her first role came on her father’s criminally lame TV show, Doc. From there, she got small parts in movies like Big Fish. She tasted the spotlight, and Billy Ray’s little angel would not be denied.

miley cyrus moves to montana

Miley Cyrus survived an arduous and lengthy audition process to play the lead in a proposed Disney Channel sitcom about a girl leading a double life as a regular high school student and a hugely successful pop star. Miley Cyrus nailed the lead, and Hannah Montana premiered in 2006. The half-hour show was an instant hit, propelling its diminutive young star into the stratosphere of pop culture stardom.

So while playing a pop music superstar on TV, Miley Cyrus suddenly found herself actually being one in real life. The show’s songs resonated with fans, who demanded CDs. CD demand begat a live tour, which in turn garnered a maelstrom of media coverage when shows sold out in minutes and desperate parents paid thousands for scalped tickets.

Angelina Jolie's India Visit

NEW DELHI, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Cameras flashing, reporters tracing. Hollywood star Angelina Jolie finally spoke out in public after one-month stay in India but not as a film star

The Hollywood actress, the Goodwill Ambassador of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), met with Indian Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma here Sunday for issues of refugees and children. 

She showed up in Hyderabad House of Delhi alone in black dress and brown scarf of Indian style. Neither Brad Pitt nor her children were with her.

"We have wonderful talks about refugees here and children and orphans. I am very grateful to Indian people. They are generous and open to refugees," Jolie said after the meeting.

Jolie, accompanied by her five-year-old son Maddox, had visited the refugee camps run by the Khalsa Diwan Welfare Society and UNHCR Saturday afternoon after she arrived in Delhi.

Jolie has been in India since Oct. 5 for shooting a film A Mighty Heart based on the life of Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl who was kidnapped and killed in Pakistan. She played the role of Pearl's wife Mariane.
