Hugh Jackman just left his production company “Seed Productions”, where he was a partner with John Palermo, who was Jackman’s assistant from 2004-2006, and the two formed Seed in 2006. Jackman said he is going to focus on acting now, and Palermo has a new deal over at 20th Century Fox, where Seed’s office was.
Jackman not only quit the production company, he just also pulled out of the lead role for film “Avon Man” which is still going to be produced by Seed, and Jackman decided to take on Wolverine 2 instead, which will still be produced by Seed! Wolverine 2 starts in filming in early 2011 in Japan.
Charice Pempengco, is the 18-year-old Filipino singer who has had fantastic success since appearing on Oprah and Ellen and now she has really gone off the deep end- Hollywood style. In an interview Pempengco admitted getting Botox injections in preparation for her appearance on the popular TV show “Glee.”
Pempengco said she wanted her naturally round face to be more narrow for her big television debut.
Do you think 18 is to young to get cosmetic procedure like Botox?
It seems like only yesterday that you could turn on CNN or Fox News and see the oil blasting from the broken pipe in a fixed frame of the picture as countless analysts gave input on the disaster. What a difference a day makes as today’s coverage is so toned down you would hardly know the ocean and the entire gulf coast is being destroyed as I type. If not for coverage of a visit from Obama in that region today you would be hard pressed to find anything remotely resembling the worst environmental disaster in history. I guess the media blackout is working, let’s just hope BP is working as well.

Sorry Octomom, looks like America isn’t too interested in you anymore.
Nadya Suleman’s two hour special, Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage, aired on Fox last night and, well, the ratings aren’t too hot.
The show drew in 4.2 million viewers, putting it in fourth place for the time slot. When compared to the advertising and hype Fox was building, this isn’t a strong number. In fact, the number one show of the time slot, America’s Got Talent, had almost double the viewers.
Check out this footage of OctoMom released by FOX for Nadya Suleman’s upcoming special “Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage.” Airing WED 8/19 at 8/7c.
We might not get Paula Abdul but we’ll definitely get a whole lot of Simon Cowell.
Robert Sillerman, CEO of 19 Entertainment parent company CKX, let it slip yesterday that Fox is expecting Simon back for not one, not two but three more seasons of the hit reality competition.
“We’ve heard from Fox, who has asked us for approval for Simon Cowell to appear for three more years on ‘Idol,’” Sillerman said, later adding that nothing should stand in the way of Cowell’s return. Word is that Simon will pull in $45 million for the new deal. Not too shabby.
Most know by now, FOX seriously underestimated the power of Paula Abdul. Now other networks are courting Abdul and her star-power with offers to install Abdul in their own top rated talent competitions.
Steve McPherson, ABC’s entertainment president has been quoted that he would love to have Abdul on “Dancing with the Stars” adding he had already made the call to Abdul.
“I would love to have her. I was a little stunned by the American Idol decision. We would love to have her on ‘Dancing’ either as a participant or a contestant, I definitely have reached out to her. I gave her a call first and foremost to say I was sorry about the situation and to say we’d love to see her on ABC.”
