Plans Are In The Works To Bring ‘The Flash’ To The Big Screen

As many of you are aware, Green Lantern — the big screen adaptation of the DC Comics comic book series — is currently being produced as a major motion picture film set for release next year. Hoping to capitalize on Green Lantern‘s success at the movies, Warner Bros. has decided to move forward with plans to bring The Flash, another DC Comics superhero, to the big screen. And get this … they are also already working on the sequel to Green Lantern while the first film is still being produced!

“Green Lantern” is a year away from release, but Warner Bros. already is starting development on a sequel. The studio has hired Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim, all of whom worked on the “Lantern” screenplay, to write a treatment for the second installment. The trio has also been tapped to pen the treatment for the silver-screen incarnation of “The Flash.” Under the deal, they would then go on to write the screenplay for one of the two projects, though which one has not been determined. “Lantern” is shooting in New Orleans under the direction of Martin Campbell with Ryan Reynolds starring as the emerald ring-wielding DC Comics superhero who is part of an intergalactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps. Development on a second installment this far out from a movie’s release date is rare, signaling the studio’s confidence in what it sees so far. It also appears to be the first moves the studio is making under its newly configured relationship with DC … With new Batman and Superman films in the writing stages and “Lantern” filming, the team thought “Flash” was the next logical hero to tackle. Development on a feature version of the scarlet speedster has gone through several false starts over the years, but the character is close to Johns’ heart. The writer recently brought back to prominence one version of the character not seen since the mid-1980s and is working on a relaunch of the series. The “Flash” film will take inspiration from Johns’ recent work and will feature the Barry Allen incarnation of the character. (In comics lore, several names have wielded the Flash mantle, though Allen, created in 1956, remains by far the most popular.) Berlanti, creator of “Everwood,” recently directed the feature “Life as We Know it,” starring Katherine Heigl, and is an exec producer on ABC’s “Brothers and Sisters.” He co-created “Eli Stone” with Guggenheim, who is exec producing ABC’s upcoming superhero drama “No Ordinary Family.” Berlanti co-created “Family,” which stars Michael Chiklis. Green worked with Berlanti on “Everwood” and created NBC’s “Kings.”

Dang!! I mean … the news about The Flash isn’t all that surprsing … I think we can expect that many more DC Comics superheros will be brought to the big screen (I understand that Jennifer Love Hewitt is desperate to star in a Wonder Woman movie). I am pretty surprised that Green Lantern 2 is already being worked on … that being said, I have no doubt that the first Green Lantern film (due out next year) will be a big enough hit to warrant the production of a sequel. We’ve got lots of superhero movies coming our way … as much as I would LOVE all of them to be awesome, I fear that that may not be the case. I love these characters so much, I want their movies to be awesome. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. What do y’all think … excited for a Flash movie? Do you think it’s too soon to be working on Green Lantern 2 when Green Lantern hasn’t even been completed yet?

Heidi Klum Does German ‘GQ’ Magazine . . . Again

Heidi Klum, who appeared all nekkid on the cover of German GQ magazine back in early 2009, is featured — not entirely nekkid — on the cover and in the pages of the latest issue of German GQ. Here is her new GQ coverphoto:


As you may recall, Heidi (who just celebrated her 37th birthday at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA with her family) first showed off this shorter new hair’do back in April … so it looks like she thought it wise to pose as nekkid as possible to draw attention away from her new ‘do. After the jump, check out a few photos from Heidi‘s sexy new GQ photospread … More »

Christoph Waltz Joins Robert Pattinson On The Set Of ‘Water For Elephants’

Last month we saw photos of Robert Pattinson and his co-star Reese Witherspoon on the SoCal set of their new film Water for Elephants and today we get to see a few more photos from the set of the film … but in these photos, R. Pattz is shooting scenes with a different co-star — Academy Award winning actor Christoph Waltz:


Considering how deliciously evil Waltz performed in his film Inglorious Basterds, I have the sneaking suspicion that he will play just as vile a character in Water for Elephants. I was so taken by Waltz‘s performance in Basterds that I truly loathed the man with every fiber of my being … that is how amazing an actor he is. Now that I know that Christoph Waltz will appear in Water for Elephants, my interest level in the film has gone up significantly. Have any of y’all read the book Water for Elephants which this film is based on? Does Waltz‘s casting make you want to see this film?

Ricky Martin & Twins Do ‘People En Español’ Magazine . . . Again

Ricky Martin (who came out of the closet as a gay man back in March) and his twin sons Matteo and Valentino (who were born via surrogate back in August of 2008) are featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of People En Español magazine. As you may recall, Ricky and his boys were featured on the cover of People En Español back in December of 2008 but this latest appearance in the mag is significant because it is the Father’s Day Issue. The coverstory article talks about Ricky as a father and reveals that he is happily attached to a Puerto Rican man:

The Father’s Day issue of People en Español features Ricky Martin and his two sons on the cover. The popular magazine is read by more than 6 million people internationally. The issue includes interviews with several people who are close to Martin and who share intimate details about his romantic and family life. Among those interviewed is Martin’s brother Eric Martin, who tells People en Español: “My nephews have the best father.” He adds, “The whole family loves him very much and we support him in everything. If he’s happy, we are too.” The magazine confirms that Martin has been in a relationship with his partner, a friend from childhood in Puerto Rico, for over a year. “Who better than Ricky Martin to grace the cover of the People en Español issue dedicated to Father’s Day? Ricky is an artist in every sense of the word,” editor Armando Correa told GLAAD. “It’s great that we now know his sexual orientation. But more important is who he is as a human being, a philanthropist, a man adored by millions of fans and even more important still, that he’s a great father.” The issue features other Latin American celebrity parents, and is now on newsstands.

Two months after coming out gay, Ricky Martin is speaking up about his boyfriend. In a cover story for the Father’s Day issue of People en Espanol, Martin talks about his twin sons, Valentino and Matteo, and the man he’s sharing his life with … Ricky Martin says he’s involved with a Puerto Rican man. He told People that his love is a childhood friend. The pair lost touch but became reacquainted over a year ago in Miami. The investment analyst also helps with raising the children. “I found strength as a couple and having a family is what was missing,” Martin said. Matteo and Valentino, who’ll turn 2 in August, are the center of his life, the 38-year-old dad says: “I feel comfortable taking care of them. There is a paternal instinct that is beautiful” … The entertainer, who had previously denied his sexual orientation, said writing his memoir had prompted him to come out of the closet: “Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And this is something worth celebrating.”

This is FANTASTIC! I have to commend People En Español for deciding to put gay dad Ricky Martin on the cover of their Father’s Day Issue particularly because homosexuality is not widely accepted in the Latino community … so the magazine is making an important statement by giving Ricky and his sons the cover. I am just elated that Ricky finally found the courage to come out because he can truly inspire Latino gay youths to follow his example. I’m also very happy to know that Ricky is happily attached to a partner … he’s too hot a man to be rollin’ single ;)

OH and remember that photo we saw of Ricky Martin in NYC last month? It turns out that he has just signed on to play the role of Che Guevara in the Broadway revival of Evita! Evita is one of my fave musicals, I think he’ll be amazing as Che. It really sounds like Ricky Martin is in a good, happy place right now … I couldn’t be more thrilled for him. Happy early Father’s Day, Ricky!!

The Go-Go’s Cancel Comeback Tour

I’ve got very bummer news to pass along to fans of The Go-Go’s (like me) who were very much looking forward to seeing them on tour this summer on their Happily Ever After Farewell Tour which was announced back in March … the band has issued a statement announcing that the entire tour has been canceled due to injury. Here is the full text of the band’s official cancellation statement:

“It is with great regret that the Go-Go’s announce today the cancelation of Happily Ever After, their summer farewell tour. The tour was scheduled to kick off July 7 at Lilith Fair San Diego, and conclude in Austin, TX on July 27. The band will also be unable to perform live on Good Morning America, scheduled for July 16 in New York’s Central Park. The news comes as a result of guitarist Jane Wiedlin injuring herself after a 20-foot fall while hiking near her home in Northern California a couple of weeks ago. Jane is scheduled for ACL replacement surgery for her knee in the coming weeks, with a prognosis of up to a year recovery time. The band is heartbroken and hopes their fans will send best wishes for Jane’s speedy recovery. In the meantime, tickets can be refunded at point of purchase”.

I am SOOOOOO bummed! I managed to get kickass seats to see The Go-Go’s perform in concert here in LA next month and was really excited to see them all together because I’ve never seen The Go-Go’s in concert. This is just heartbreaking news. I hope Jane is able to recover from her injury, ACL surgery is very serious business. The way that this statement from the band is worded, it seems unlikely that the tour will be rescheduled. Maybe the band will give it one more try next year? It’s impossible to know right now. All we do know is that no one will be seeing The Go-Go’s on tour this Summer … which totally sucks ;(

Lindsay Lohan Shows Off Her SCRAM Bracelet By The Pool

While a bench warrant was being issued for the arrest of Lindsay Lohan yesterday (a warrant that was eventually recalled because L. Lo got bailed out by an industrious bail bondsman), she was bizzy doing a whole lotta nothing but lounging by the pool in Hollywood. Thanks to RadarOnline, we know that L. Lo decided not even to bother trying to cover up her SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet as she relaxed … she was just chillin’ like a villain like it was no thang:

Maybe tanning is her new coping mechanism? While a judge issued a bench warrant for her arrest on Tuesday, Lindsay Lohan looked worry-free as she lounged poolside in Hollywood. RadarOnline.com has the exclusive photos of her shockingly relaxing afternoon. The Mean Girls star, 23, smiled as she relaxed in a sexy, black one-piece swimsuit that accentuated her long legs, cleavage, and SCRAM bracelet. With a friend and little sister Ali nearby, Lindsay unwound while reading what looked to be a script.

Lest you think that Lindsay spent all of her time sitting poolside while her legal drama was unfolding, there are other photos of her doing other activities as well. Check out a photo of Lindsay engaged in a different poolside activity yesterday, after the jump … More »

Bradley Cooper Chills With Fans In NYC

Bradley Cooper spent some time to meet and greet fans in Rockefeller Plaza today after his appearance on The Today Show. The Coopster is doing promo for the release of his new film The A-Team, which hits theaters this Friday, which means he had plenty of time to make as many fans happy as possible:


Believe it or not but I’m hearing nothing but good things about The A-Team, y’all. I know many of us (me included) have had our doubts as to whether this movie remake of the classic 80′s TV series would work or not but according to early reviews … it’s good. I will have to see the film for myself to make a personal determination but I’m happy to hear that it’s being well-received. The trailers I’ve seen make the film look crazy fun … here’s hoping that is actually the case. And if I have to be forced to spend 2 hours staring at Bradley Cooper than so be it. Ah yes, such is life.
