New Movies Opening This Week

Bride Wars – Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates - they're now to be married on the same date! - Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants, including the perfect job and the perfect man, won't settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamed of for years. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled.

Not Easily Broken – A couple's strength and faith are tested after the wife is injured in a car crash and husband becomes attracted to another woman.

The Unborn (2009) – Casey Beldon (Odette Yustman) hated her mother for leaving her as a child. But when inexplicable things start to happen, Casey begins to understand why she left. Plagued by merciless dreams and a tortured ghost that haunts her waking hours, she must turn to the only spiritual advisor, Sendak (Gary Oldman), who can make it stop. With Sendak’s help, Casey uncovers the source of a family curse dating back to Nazi Germany—a creature with the ability to inhabit anyone or anything that is getting stronger with each possession. With the curse unleashed, her only chance at survival is to shut a doorway from beyond our world that has been pried open by someone who was never born.

CELEBRITY NEWS

Hilton Is Not A Slut

Paris Hilton has only slept with "a couple of people" - because she respects herself too much. She has had high profile relationships with former Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter and Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, but is currently single after splitting from the rocker in November. And Hilton insists she just kisses the majority of her suitors, and plays "hard to get" to ensure men are serious about dating her. She tells Glamour magazine, "I've only done it (had sex) with a couple of people. People make up stories, but mostly I just kiss. I think it's important to play hard to get. Nobody wants the fake Prada bag; they want the brand new bag that no one can get and is the most expensive. If you give it up to a guy he won't respect you; he'll want you much more if he can't have you."

*****Yet, Paris still can’t explain the 10 different VD’s she’s contracted through the years!!!

****Someday Paris, you’ll be an old Prada bag!!!

Brolin Cleared

Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright are off the hook. Prosecutors have decided to drop charges against them in connection to an altercation at a Shreveport, Louisiana bar last year. At a hearing, city prosecutors said the actors would be cleared of the charges within 60 days, provided they pay 130-dollars each in court costs. Brolin and Wright were originally charged with interfering with police officers after a fight involving a crew member from the film "W." Both actors were pepper-sprayed. Wright also suffered an electric shock from a police Taser weapon. Five other "W." crew members were also accused of interference. An attorney for Brolin and Wright says charges against the other crew members will also be dropped.

****So much for trying to get extra publicity for the film…. It bombed!!!

Spears Decoy Seeking Damages From LAX

A woman who was asked to pose as Britney Spears' younger sister is trying to get two-million dollars out of the Los Angeles International Airport. "Access Hollywood" reports Adessa Eskeridge is threatening to sue airport police if they don't pay up. Eskeridge was used as a decoy for Jamie-Lynn Spears back in September. Her attorney R.J. Molligan claims LAX Police failed to inform his client about the potential danger involved in the task. Molligan states in the filing that police didn't want to subject Jamie-Lynn to the pushing, shoving and possible physical injury of the paparazzi and they instead, quote, "decided that Ms. Eskeridge was not important enough to give the same protections to." Her attorney goes on to say airport police failed to tell Eskeridge she would be mobbed by photographers as soon as she disembarked and that she would later have her picture splashed all over the Internet. Molligan says the two-million-dollars in damages her client is seeking is a, quote, "reasonable and fair settlement that fully compensates her for the humiliation, fear and harassment."
