Big news! Variety reports today that Pulitzer Prize�winning, Tony-earning, all-around-awesome play August: Osage County is being adapted for the big screen. Playwright Tracy Lett is attached to write the screenplay, and Jean Doumanian Productions (All the Real Girls, Bullets Over Broadway) and Steve Traxler will produce. But who will play the Westons? "So many actors and stars have come to see it on Broadway, and we've gotten inquiries," Doumanian tells Variety. "People are enthusiastic about the film version." Maybe they'll follow Ang Lee's lead and cast the actual theater actors? But who should play matriarch Violet: Tony winner Deanna Dunagan or 80-year-old phenom Estelle Parsons? You know, we don't even care. We really wanted to see this thing again anyway, and compared to the cost of seeing it on Broadway, movie tickets will be a steal. �Lori Fradkin

Deyn can be seen as the brand's new spokesmodel in their Fall 2008 Maquillage ad campaign.

It's not the only contract pregnant Jolie has lost recently - she parted company with fashion house St. John last month, ending a three-year relationship with the company.

James Chippendale Climbs the Mountain of Life

2008-06-22T03:37:00.001-07:00

DALLAS, May 7 -- The top of the Empire State Building. The
base camp of Mount Everest. And next, Machu Picchu. James Chippendale is a
leukemia survivor and co-founder of Love Hope Strength Foundation, an
international charity hosting x-treme music concerts in high locations to
raise funds for cancer centers worldwide.

In March of 2000, James was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of
leukemia. His doctors gave him a 50% chance of survival but after three
rounds of intense chemotherapy, radiation and a bone marrow transplant from
a German donor, James came back healthier and stronger and ready to join
the battle in helping those who helped him. Thus, he co-founded Love Hope
Strength Foundation (LHSF) with musician and cancer survivor Mike Peters
from The Alarm.

Through innovative concerts and climbs, LHSF, with chapters in the US,
UK and Australia, provides critical funding for cancer centers worldwide so
that ALL people have access to quality treatment and are given the best
chance at survival. Founded in 2006, LHSF has already raised approximately
$700,000 its first year and achieved:

-- In October 2007, 35 musicians, mountaineers, cancer survivors, and LHSF
supporters departed from Kathmandu for a monumental 14 day trek to Base
Camp of Mount Everest for an acoustic concert known as Everest Rocks,
the highest concert ever performed. Peters, Stray Cats drummer Slim
Jim Phantom, UK folk artist Nick Harper, Glenn Tillbrook of the Squeeze
and acclaimed MTV producer Alex Coletti are just a few of the music
luminaries who conquered Everest Rocks.
-- Famed MTV producer Alex Coletti documented the Everest Rocks event,
which VH1 Classic and MHD (MTV Hi-Definition Television) have just
agreed to air. In the near future, the documentary will also be
available for sale with proceeds benefiting the charity.
-- LHSF just confirmed their next x-treme music concert, Peru Rocks, at
Machu Picchu, October 8-17, 2008, with up to 100 trekkers to celebrate
their "Climb Back From Cancer(TM)."

James devotes a great deal of his time to "the cause" -- providing
patients in need with the same opportunity that he had: access to quality
doctors and funding for treatments and medications. He is available to
discuss his experiences, the foundation, and the challenges behind
obtaining proper cancer treatment. http://www.lovehopestrength.org

Not guilty: R. Kelly's child-porn case ends

2008-06-14T17:54:00.000-07:00

CHICAGO — R. Kelly was acquitted of all charges Friday after less than a day of deliberations in his child-pornography trial, ending a six-year ordeal for the R&B superstar.

Kelly, whose real name is Robert Kelly, dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict — not guilty on all 14 counts — was read. The Grammy Award-winning singer would have faced 15 years in prison if convicted.

Minutes later, surrounded by bodyguards, he left the courthouse without comment.

"All I heard [from Kelly] while those 14 verdicts were being read was 'Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus,' " said Sam Adam Jr., one of his attorneys.

Prosecutors had argued that a videotape mailed to the Chicago Sun-Times in 2002 showed Kelly engaged in graphic sex acts with a girl as young as 13 at the time. Kelly, 41, and a now 23-year-old woman denied they were the ones on the tape. Neither testified during the trial.

The prosecution's star witness was a woman who said she engaged in three-way sex with Kelly and the woman who had been accused of being on the tape. Defense attorneys argued the man on the tape didn't have a large mole on his back; Kelly has such a mole.

Of the 12 jurors, nine were men and three were women.
