Emma Thompson Taking A Sabbatical To Deal With Depression
Filed under: Film FlickersSad!
Emma Thompson announced this afternoon that she will be taking a break from acting all of next year to focus on herself. She released a statement explaining her decision:
"I find the job I do emotionally very demanding. I suffer from occasional mild depression, which I think is a very common thing — it's fantastically common in my country and probably in yours, too — and it's a very much hidden thing people don't talk about. I think it should be discussed… Next year, I'm going to take a sabbatical. I'm not going to fundraise or perform or travel, except in pursuit of new vistas with my family. I've been meaning to do this for a long, long time, but it's been like putting the brakes on a large ship because there is so much going on."
Poor thing. This business can eat you alive if you let it!
No worries, bb! We can all make due with only two Nanny McPhee movies. Please, take some time for yourself!

Hugh Hefner Watches The Bachelorette???
Filed under: Reality Television > PlayboyWe guess we're not THAT surprised. The man has spent the last several decades looking for true love himself. We see how it could be appealing for him.
Hugh Hefner's lastest caretaker girlfriend Crystal Harris told sources that she was able to get Hef hooked on the most recent edition of The Bachelorette.
According to Crystal, the couple used to settle in for the evening with some Jello and an oxygen mask to watch together. She told sources that Hef was happy this year's bachelorette "found love in the end."
Yeah, sure she did. They all do… until 3 weeks later when the TV appearances dry up and there is nothing left to do than to actually get to know one another.
Oh the horror!

Sarah Palin's Alaska Coming In November
Filed under: TV News > Sarah Palin > The GosselinsJust about the time your mom has finished doing all the shopping for Thanksgiving, the whole family can settle down to watch some real American-style T.V. with Sarah Palin's Alaska!
This morning at the Discovery TCA presentation, it was announced by the TLC president that Sexy Sarah's new show would be premiereing on November 14th.
Mark your Igloos of the North calendars.
It was also confirmed that TLC queen, Kate Gosselin, would be appearing in one of the show's episodes. Kate recently visited the great state of Alaska and it's most famous flute player. The episode will feature footage of a fishing trip the two families took as well as a hike through the glaciers.
Perhaps Sarah took some time out to show Kate how to shoot a moose! She sure could have used that kind of skill back when she was married to one! Hah, we kid.
Will U be tuning in???

Sorry Beatles Fans, You Still Can't Download Hits From iTunes
Filed under: Music Minute > Paul McCartneyYoko Ono is warning fans that a deal to allow Beatles songs to be downloaded from iTunes is nowhere near complete.
The widow of John Lennon says that she, along with Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison's widow Olivia, are "holding out" until an appropriate agreement is made.
It seems odd that you still can't download Beatles songs from iTunes, however EMI and the band's surviving members have failed to make an agreement with Apple to make their hits available digitally.
Earlier this year, McCartney blamed EMI execs for the delay, but is still hoping that the "crazy" situation will be resolved.
Meanwhile, Ono says, "(Apple CEO) Steve Jobs has his own idea and he's a brilliant guy. There's just an element (of the deal) that we're not very happy about, as people. We are holding out. Don't hold your breath… for anything."
Sad!
Spencer's $7515 Stripper Scouting Session
Filed under: Film Flickers > Spencer PrattWhat do you get when you combine Spencer Pratt and the Los Angeles 4 Play Gentleman’s Club? We’re not sure, but 4 Play Gentleman’s Club gets $7515 from Spencer Pratt.
Pratt went to the club to “scout” actresses for his future academy award winning beach romp, Tower 69: Beach Patrol Featuring 3D Boobs. Apparently it’s very expensive to scout talent.
Here’s what a source said about Pratt’s club experience:
“Spencer was spotted with a big wad of $100 bills in his hands and not surprisingly he was proving to be very popular with the ladies inside the club.”
Aside from strippers, Pratt has found potential Tower 69 talent in Australian actress/model Sophie Turner, whom we’re sure will ABSOLUTELY LOVE working with a bunch of strippers.
We hope you got your $7515’s worth, Spencer.
Will U go see Tower 69: Beach Patrol Featuring 3D Boobs?
