Filed Under Gossips, Movie News, TV News | Leave a Comment
We looked at the calendar and it said 2010 on it. Freaking 2010!!! (you know what we mean.) And so we come to that time of the year when we get to recount all the juiciest SKOOPZ from in and around Hollywood, all the hot stories, all the things that happened. Here’s our last look at what made 2009 a year to remember.
Celebrity deaths - They were here, and then they were no more.
R.I.P.
There was an unusual amount of notable Hollywood deaths this year. Here’s a list of the big names that passed on this 2009. Click on the images for their corresponding reports.
Michael Jackson, 1958-2009
Britanny Murphy, 1977-2009
Natasha Richardson, 1963-2009
David Carradine, 1936-2009
Farrah Fawcett, 1947-2009
Patrick Swayze, 1952-2009
Now we move on to…
Rihanna’s face gets bashed in by boyfriend Chris Brown
Believe it or not - this was Rihanna
No prizes for guessing who did it. I mean, I like his songs (somewhat), but going ape $#!7 on your girlfriend’s pretty face is way uncool. We all should hate Chris Brown for this.
In other news, it turns out she forgave him for it. As to why, I will not in my lifetime fully understand. Next on our list is…
Kanye West rains on Taylor Swift’s parade
If there was a genuine effort to capture the “A-hole of the Year” award, this was it. Watch the video. Nuf sed.
Ok, one more thing: even Barack Obama called him a “jackass”. It was that bad. After the rudeness, Beyonce oozed pure class as she declined her own acceptance speech and let Taylor Swift finish hers. You go girls. Now on to…
Charlie Sheen goes after his wife… with a knife?!?
With a knife?!?
Domestic violence is not really our thing, but if it involves Charlie-fricking-Sheen, hey what the heck. This came to us when we were just getting ready for the holidays. Sheen apparently chased his wife Brooke Mueller around with a knife. All we can say is — how screwed up are you, man? Especially with a wife who looks like this.
Sheen with Brooke Mueller
And then there was…
A randy Tiger - The Tiger Woods extra-marital files
It all started with Tiger Woods in a car accident. And then we discovered that the gorgeous wife Elin chased him and whacked him some with a golf club — irony of the year, if you ask us. And then we learned about her…
Rachel Uchitel - Tiger: Rawrrr....
And then there was Jaimee Grubbs. And then Jaimee Grubbs said, “I have naked pix of Tiger.” And then 7 more women turned up on the Tiger list - a porn star, a clubber, and a couple of cocktail waitresses. Appalled by the numbers that came up (wouldn’t you be also?), Elin then moved out of the Woods family mansion posthaste. Then there was news of a Tiger Woods sex tape (ewww). Then private emails reveal that Tiger probably was in love with one of the aforementioned women — clue: not Elin. So yeah, you can imagine what a tragedy this was for the wife — she gave an ultimatum to Tiger: “Quit golf or lose me and the kids“. Lose this?
Elin: "Quit golf or lose this. Boo yah."
So of course, Tiger quit golf and went to Sweden to resolve, errr… you know. Oh yeah, that Tiger list — it grew to around 14 women. (Holy crap!!!) Apparently, quitting golf and going to Sweden did not fix things, because after a while Tiger was STILL meeting up with Rachel Uchitel, and Elin had more or less given up. Poor pretty Elin (gorgeous, actually) finally set the divorce plans in motion. This story is still unfolding — the last note on this is that Tiger (you randy bugger) was last seen partying with Rachel. Oh well.
Are you ready for more?
Christian Bale Rant - Bale went apesh#t on the Terminator set
Ok. You think Terminator was a pretty good movie for 2009, yeah? I think so too. You probably loved Christian Bale in his Batman movies as well. So now listen to this, recorded for you from the set of his latest movie.
What a jerk. Nuf sed.
This next one I especially like…
Paula Abdul booted off American Idol season 9
Ellen replaces Paula on AI Season 9
So yeah, Paula Abdul wanted a 300% increase from the “rude and disrespectful” $2.5 million they paid her last year. AI management finds that unacceptable — coupled with the drunk advice she gives which nobody understands, the blabbering, that general feeling annoyance while in her presence — it makes sense that they let her go. Ellen DeGeneres will replace her when Idol kicks off this January.
We have more…
David Letterman admits to affairs with employees
So. There might be a David Letterman sex tape. Somebody actually tried to extort Dave — pay so the sex tape won’t go public.
But really now, who would want to see Letterman going at it? Eeewww.
Up next, for all you guys out there…
Megan Fox kisses a girl (and she probably liked it)
Yeah, we couldn’t let this go. You probably watched Jennifer’s Body because of this scene… not because of anything else, but only because it’s the most freakingly awesome Megan Fox scene to date. Enjoy.
We seriously dig that. Maybe that’s why the movie flopped. Only the boys watched it.
Lastly, the movie was nothing spectacular, but…
People just went crazy for New Moon
Edward and Bella? or Jacob and Bella?
New Moon Cast - Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner
Some of us here at Skoopz don’t really get what the big deal is about, but a lot of people watched and went gaga over part 2 of the Twilight saga, guaranteeing another blockbuster trilogy in the works.The cast toured all around and were mobbed by high school girls, mommies with babies, and even grannies. WTH?!?
I have this from a very good source, though — most women watched this movie for Jacob’s abs — I kid you not.
The aforementioned abs
Goodbye 2009!!!
It was a heckuva ride. We promise you more inside stories on Hollywood as it happens, here on Skoopz.com bring on 2010!
Sex and The City, It’s a Movie!
Filed Under Movie News | 1 Comment
The foursome of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Catrall, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis has all agreed to do Sex and The City movie. The revolutionary TV series that catapulted sex talk and nudity on the small screen. It was a hit, too.
The project is set to begin shooting in the fall. Longtime series executive producer Michael Patrick King will direct the film from his own script and serve as producer, along with Parker and series creator Darren Star.
Plans for a movie were first revealed by HBO in early 2004, months before the show ended its six-season run.
But the project stalled, according to show business newspaper Daily Variety, when Cattrall sought greater script control and a salary closer to that of Parker, who was more highly paid than her co-stars because she was a co-executive producer of the series.
Variety said Cattrall ultimately was won over with a sweetened offer that included a series deal with HBO.
“Sex and the City,” based on the work of best-selling author Candace Bushnell, was the first cable series to win an Emmy.

Germany Bans Tom Cruise from Filming New Movie
Filed Under Movie News | Leave a Comment
We’re guessing that “psychiatry is Nazi science” bit stuck in the minds of German officials. Tom Cruise was barred by the country’s Defense Ministry from filming at German military sites for a new movie about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler because of his Scientology beliefs.
Defense Ministry spokesman Harald Kammerbauer said the film makers “will not be allowed to film at German military sites if Count Stauffenberg is played by Tom Cruise, who has publicly professed to being a member of the Scientology cult.”
The U.S. actor will portray Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, leader of the unsuccessful attempt to assassinate the Nazi dictator in July 1944 with a bomb hidden in a briefcase.
Stauffenberg had been deeply opposed to the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews and planted a briefcase bomb under a table near Hitler in his “Wolf’s Lair” headquarters on July 20, 1944. The bomb went off but only wounded the Fuehrer.
“In general, the Bundeswehr (German military) has a special interest in the serious and authentic portrayal of the events of July 20, 1944 and Stauffenberg’s person,” Kammerbauer said.
Are they saying Mr. Cruise is a joke?
Fantastic Four Tops Box Office
Filed Under Movie News | Leave a Comment
The new adventure fanatsy, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, tops box office results taking in $58.1 million over opening weekend. The sequel to the “Fantastic Four” outperformed its predecessor, said Chris Aronson, senior vice president of distribution for Fox.
Dropping from the top spot to No. 2, with an estimated three-day gross of $19.1 million, was “Ocean’s Thirteen,” released by Time Warner Inc. unit Warner Bros. Pictures.
But the surprise of the weekend came in the form of Universal Pictures’ comedy “Knocked Up ” as it remained a strong No. 3 in this third week of distribution sending Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End down to the 4th spot.
“Knocked Up” will take in an estimated $14.5 million Friday-to-Sunday and has so far grossed $90.5 million, according to Paul Dergarabedian of Media by Numbers.

Mike Tyson To Star in Bollywood?
Filed Under Movie News | Leave a Comment
Former heavyweight boxing champion, Mike Tyson, is reportedly seeking to star in a Bollywood movie. The Times of India reported that the energy on the sets of a music video Tyson recently shot for a new comedy got him thinking about trying to do more Bollywood work.
He claimed that Firoz Nadiadwala, producer of “Fool n Final,” had approached him with a script. Firoz has discussed a movie with me. We seriously intend to work toward it,” he said.
Tyson, 40, danced to Bollywood music at a two-day shoot in Las Vegas last month for a music video to promote “Fool n Final,” about a diamond heist.
The ear-biting ex-champ further said that there are similarities between acting and boxing.
In both the fields, in order to survive and triumph, you need focus and to be highly disciplined and determined,” he said.
