Another beloved Disney character to be ruined

Because Disney can’t seem to create enough original characters these days (they’d apparently rather leave that to the folks at Pixar), they’re once again trotting back to the Disney Vault and recycling a pre-existing one: Tinkerbell. They’re going to make a straight-to-video Tinkerbell movie, and, for the first time in Disney’s history, they’re going to give our girl Tink a voice…and it belongs to Brittany Murphy.

I gotta tell you, Tinkerbell’s reputation really went downhill when Disney merchandised her to places like Hot Topic, who’ve put her on hot pants and lace tops. It’s, like, “Hey, kids, Tink’s a slut now! Wait ’til you see what we’re doing with our revamp of Snow White; let’s just say you’ll be pretty sure she ought not to be wearing white anymore! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge…!”

I see dead people under my wheels


Driven to bud

Fun times for Haley Joel Osment ahead! The 18-year-old actor was charged with DUI and possession of marijuana. This was all due to a vehicular encounter between his Saturn and a mailbox last month.

“Authorities said Osment was driving home alone about 1 a.m. when his 1995 Saturn hit a mailbox and flipped over.”

Wait, did the mailbox flip over, or the car? Ah, let him pick up some garbage in NYC. And every time he picks up a cigarette butt, force him to light it up and have a puff, or drink any swill he may find in tossed away beverage vessels.

Who wants to live forever?

If you are neither Highlander, vampire, nor resident of Mount Olympus, you’ve had to get used to the idea that you will one day be pushing up daisies.

David Copperfield would like to change your mind. Announced yesterday, Copperfield’s latest magical discovery is…the Fountain of Youth. No wonder his skin is so baby smooth:

Copperfield, 49, told Reuters that the magical healing waters of yore are actually located in the Exuma archipelago, a chain of four small islands in the Bahamas that he just so happened to have purchased recently for $65 million.

“I’ve discovered a true phenomenon,” Copperfield told the wire service. “You can take dead leaves, they come in contact with the water, they become full of life again…Bugs or insects that are near death, come in contact with the water, they’ll fly away. It’s an amazing thing, very, very exciting.”

Even more amazing and exciting is the fact that, for a mere $392,000 per week (times ten if you want to drink the water…), you can check into Copperfield’s new “private retreat” on Musha Cay, one of the islands in the archipelago. Small price to pay for a chance (however small) at eternal life, right?

So, start saving your pennies…and we’ll see you in the next millennium.

A view from the cheap seats


Even in distress, the rack holds up well.

What happens when you spring the news on Bruno Kirby’s former castmates that he has died? Unintentional comedy gold! Well, maybe not, but that’s just what TV news crew KCAL did during a debut for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Jennifer Tilly seems genuinely surprised when she is told, and then gets over it rather quickly. Gotta make it to that next photo op and paycheck, don’tcha know.
