Naomi Watts To Play Princess Diana: Royalists And Ring 2 Fans Unite In Grief

February 10th, 2012 By Sophie Hall

Right. Here’s the future.?In the year 200andGoogleitbecausewedidnot, once all the disinfectant from Leona Lewis’ Olympic Opening Ceremony Performance has sterilized Britain, there is to be some exciting news. Naomi Watts is going to do exactly what Meryl Streep has just done here in 2012.

But she’s going to do it slightly more creepier – and be all PRINCESS DIANA and everything.

Okay. Quick reminder on who Princess Diana is, just before everyone jumps on the bandwagon and starts holding aloft an ironic piece of bunting with a smashed arm of a princess on it or something.

Elton John Wants Justin Timberlake For Biopic (Stop Laughing)

January 3rd, 2012 By Mof Gimmers

Sir Elton John, formerly bald, is planning to make a film about his life. And boy what a life! All that having sex and taking drugs! The travelling around the world! The outfits! That bit when he wrote that song.

The trips to the hairdressers too! Amazing.

And so, talking about this flick, Elt’ has named Justin Timberlake as his “number one” choice. They do look like each other don’t they? No. Not at all. That’s the answer you’re looking for.

Top Trumps: The Donald Lays Claim To Gaga’s Career

December 21st, 2011 By Kris Silver

Donald Trump is a man of many talents; he pioneered the modern day comb over, he discovered that President Obama was actually a Senegalese street cleaner called Babacar Ousamane, causing him to resign from the Presidency and is rumoured to have been the man who killed Kim Jong-il, with a Chuck Norris style roundhouse.

But now, ?The Donald,? as he is known, has made his most audacious claim yet, he (and he alone) is personally responsible for the meteoric rise to fame of the 21^st Century musical behemoth, Lady Gaga.

Johnny Depp And Other White Men Favourites To Play Michael Jackson In Biopic (Features Amazing Eddie Murphy Video)

November 17th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Finding a man to play Michael Jackson in a biopic is no easy task. Listen, LaToya Jackson is surely not in the picture, despite being MJ’s reanimated corpse. Think about it. You need someone who vaguely looks like the former King of Pop.

Naturally, what with Michael going from handsome black man to Roswell white man, there’s not many people who are up to the task, unless someone creates some ET/human/chameleon hybrid.

However, seeing as a Michael Jackson biopic is in the pipeline, there’s actors being touted to guzzle Propofol like UHT milk. And oddly, most of them are white.

Lady Gaga Warned “Adele May Want To Eat You”; Lesbian Fan Fiction Goes Wild

November 14th, 2011 By Robin Darke

Normally when we see the ridiculous antics of groups of girls and younger gays on Twitter, clubbing together to form an online ?army? and ruining Trending Topics for everyone, we usually want them all to die in a Lady Gaga inspired fire.

There's armies for One Direction, Justin Bieber, Cheryl Cole; if you're a modern popstar cum bumwipe, chances are you\’ll have yourself an army of devoted fans eventually.

But what happens when Armies turn bad? Well, that's what Adele is finding out as she is getting some awful things said about her over Twitter recently. Truthful and hilarious, but still awful things.

The Real Actors Who Should Play Steve Jobs In A Biopic

October 11th, 2011 By Matthew Laidlow

Apple geeks around the world were united in grief last week when Apple announced that Steve Jobs had suffered a fatal 404 error and couldn’t be restarted. Whilst a replacement for Steve Jobs had already been secured so Apple can dominate the market with sleek and flashy products that’ll require a replacement six months later, we don’t care about that.

It’s all about tie-in movie deals that are coming soon thanks to Sony snapping up the rights.

Total Film published a list of actors who they thought could play the billionaire tech lord throughout his reign at the helm of Appple. After Justin Timberlake successfully played Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and won countless awards due to his uncanny resemblance to everyone’s favorite social network poster boy, we figured we’d think about those who should really play Jobsy.

Lady GaGa Biopic In The Works, Despite Her Only Being Famous For 30 Seconds

October 5th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Lady GaGa is a woman obsessed by fame. She loves it. She likes the idea, the smell, the taste and the lumpy feel of it. She would wouldn’t she? She hasn’t been famous long enough to become jaded by the idea.

It’s all one big, vague art project to her.

And despite the fact she’s only been famous for the blink of a mayfly’s eye, that hasn’t stopped people wanting to cash in on her own clamber to the top of the popular culture pole. Let it be noted that by ‘pole’, we mean a long, slippery stick rather than a man from Warsaw. If becoming famous was as simple as humping a Polish gentleman, we’d all be at it, right? Just us? Oh.

Marvin Gaye Biopic Due (We Can’t Think Of A Joke For The Headline)

February 16th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Marvin Gaye, one of the greatest soul singers who graced our undeserving ears, is going to be the subject of a new biopic directed by Julien Temple. Hardly surprising that someone would want to make a film about him with the life he had!

Professionally speaking, Marvin Gaye went from being a great pop star to a socially aware, right-on soul preacherman. From the glorious two-minuters of ‘It Takes Two’ and ‘Heard It Through The Grapevine’, to the far-reaching LPs of ‘What’s Going On’ and ‘Let’s Get It On’, Gaye covered a lot of ground.

However, away from the microphone and piano stool, Gaye had a soap opera of a life which belied the control he had musically. While ‘Inner City Blues’ confidently went about changing people’s perceptions of what black music could offer the world, Gaye couldn’t hope for a stable private life.

Lindsay Lohan Dropped From Linda Lovelace Biopic, Inferno, In Favour Of Malin Ackerman

November 22nd, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

You may well dislike Lindsay Lohan for the way she’s chosen to live her life, but really, lets be honest here, she’s great because she’s so trashy. A bisexual drug hoover who gets into all kinds of scrapes. What’s not to like?

Sadly, she’s been caught be the law and violated probation, which means she’ll have to come away from all this all evangelical and grown-up. That’s no fun at all.

And sadly, despite previous promises that the production of Linda Lovelace biopic ‘Inferno’ was waiting for her to get better, director Matthew Wilder has now stated that the movie will now be shooting without Lohan.

Al Pacino To Play Phil Spector In Gun-Based Film?

October 14th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

Phil Spector is a great example of a person that should be divorced from the music he made. Basically, he’s a hideous prick… but some of the productions he gave us are magnificent. Of course, he’s not the only nasty shit that had a hand in great records, but he is a proper bastard.

As such, demented people like Mr Wall of Sound are much more interesting and thereby more likely to have films made of them. Can you imagine a biopic of Taylor Swift? It’d be 3 hours of someone saying “…which was nice”, apart from the brief Kanye appearance which, “turned out okay in the end.”

So who would play Phil Spector in a film? Would you need a separate team just to control his gigantic wigs? Well, Al Pacino is reported to be staring as the controversial music producer who is currently serving life in prison for murder.
