I love this story.
Justin Bieber, international recording artist, 2010 AMA Artist of the Year, 2011 Grammy-nominated New Pop Artist of the Year, leader of the Bieber nation, reason for the Bieber fever…
…wouldn’t give his cellphone to his mom, so she canceled his service.
Hey, he may bring home the bacon, but he’s still not old enough to fry it up in the pan unsupervised.
Go Mom.
Perhaps Fergie should try a similar punishment on hubby Josh Duhamel. He recently got pulled off a flight from New York to Kentucky because he wouldn’t turn off his Blackberry.
He reportedly taunted the flight attendant, who asked him to turn off his phone three separate times with no success. They finally had to turn the plane around and return to the gate.
So, everyone was delayed because Josh was acting like a brat.
And what was so important that he couldn’t turn off his phone? He was texting about the plane being delayed.
Josh later said he was sorry. (Wonder if Justin ever did?)
Not again
Making movies cost the big bucks, it’s true.
So perhaps we shouldn’t judge producers too harshly when they remake blockbusters from years past to ensure box office success…like The Great Gatsby or Footloose.
This may also explain ‘sequel-itis’…although quality seems to figure less in that equation.
Case in point: New Year’s Eve from director Garry Marshall.
(Sorry; it was that bad.)
I’m not surprised actors are drawn to the sequel; it’s the easiest money they’ll ever make. And Garry Marshall probably just used the Valentine’s Day shooting script and changed the California locations to New York City.
But why do it at all?
Critics skewered the first film, and audience reviews were only slightly warmer. And while Valentine’s Day did break $100 million at the box office, there were a lot of celebrity salaries to pay.
Well, after seeing the trailer, I think I’ve figured it out.
Garry has directed a train wreck of a film…and we all know how hard it is not to look at one of those.
Cha-ching!
