Her trajectory continues to hurtle along on a tragic course. • Remember when we told you last week that Terrence Howard was replaced by Don Cheadle in the Iron Man sequel? Well apparently it was news to Terrence, as well. The noted baby wipe enthusiast said he learned he was being replaced by reading it Variety. "There was no explanation...

Hollywood Locates Source Of Crappy Movie Receipts: Women Actors!

The tough thing about being one of those people who is paid to summon outrage all day is that inevitably it happens that you are sitting there, and you grab hold of a specimen of such unadulterated, 99.44 pure inconceivably outrageous outrageousness, and you just don't have it in you to do anything but blockquote a whole section:

Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov has made a new decree that "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead". This Neanderthal thinking comes after both Jodie Foster's 'The Brave One' ... and Nicole Kidman's 'The Invasion' (as if three different directors didn't have something to do with the awfulness of the gross receipts) under-performed at the box office recently.

So yeah, the gist of this is they're no longer going to make movies with women in the lead if there isn't also a strong male lead. And by the way The Brave One co-starred TERRENCE HOWARD. (Who, by the way, thinks women should not be allowed to take shits.) And yeah they did a REALLY GREAT JOB PROMOTING THAT MOVIE. More »
