The Inside Reel interviews Matthew Good and Nicholas Hoult for "A Single Man":

A new initiative from youth voting campaign Rock the Vote is encouraging young people to “hold out for health care” by refusing to have sex with people who don’t support health care reform.

Rock the Vote, an organization which works to “engage and build the political power of young people,” is currently collecting signatures for the celebrity-endorsed petition to “hold out for health care.”

“We pledge ourselves to the health and liberty of young Americans and to government for the people … and to never fucking you if you are against us,” the video announces. “We will vote against you, work against you, and once again, just in case you forgot, never ever, never ever, never ever, never ever fuck you.”

The strategy strikes me as counter-intuitive. After all, what do Republicans hate even more than public health care? Young people having premarital sex! If I were a Republican, I would love this Rock the Vote campaign. It reads like a conservative porn script: No health care, plus a bunch of young hot chicks sexily announcing that they’re not going to give it up!

But I’m not a Republican, so I find a few aspects of this Rock the Vote campaign unsettling that have nothing to do with the young people admitting to F-wording each other. First, Rock the Vote President Heather Smith told FOX News that the fucking-withholding petition aims to remind the youth of America that “they have a stake and a say” in the debate over health care. Huh. I thought young people had a stake in the health care debate because they’re human beings with a civil right to engage in our country’s political process. But I guess it’s actually because they’re hot and like to fuck. Second, the unsettling sexual stereotypes: According to Rock the Vote, women are sexy teases; men are insatiable buffoons. Finally, this line, meant to to ward off a skeezy Tea Party guy who wants to fuck our hot liberal heroine: ”I’m on my period. I don’t have a vagina.” Would you like some transphobia with your abstinence?

Kate Gosselin has been fired off of her new television show! The reality show mom was reportedly canned for being “too controversial” for the executives. Back in September, Kate was chosen as one of the hosts for a new pilot called Momlogic. She joined Paula Deen, Lee Woodruff and former Early Show co-host Rene Syler.

The show was compared to “The View for working moms.” Sources says it’s struggling to stay afloat. It is still on the schedule to be sold at the convention where TV shows are pitched, but an insider said there is little chance it will.

A behind-the-scenes source tells RadarOnline, “There was a lot of arguing.”Apparently Kate wasn’t ok with Paula Deen being the main host of the show.

But even if Kate isn’t a part of this show, she has her own thing coming up the ranks. The show’s concept hasn’t been made public yet, but it’s a show that will star Kate and only Kate. We’re sure from now on, that’s the only way she’ll have it!

Back in March, Warner Bros announced that it will bring Stephen King's landmark horror novel "It" to the big screen. The novel is set in 1958 and 1985, though the feature version will be set in the present day.

Collider has now caught up with producer Dan Lin, who revealed that the studio is still moving forward with the project and he expected to get his hands on the script within the next few days. "'It' is probably the next script that I'm expecting actually over Christmas," he said, adding: "Dave Kajganich (Invasion) is writing it."

Kajganich previously revealed that the film will be R-rated and that the studio doesn't want any sequels. "[This] means we can really honor the book and engage with the traumas that these characters endure," he said. "I will have to kill a few darlings to make that happen."

The story follows a group of kids called the Losers Club that encounter a creature called It, which preys on children and whose favorite form is that of a sadistic clown called Pennywise. When the creature resurfaces, the kids are called upon to regroup again, this time as adults, even though they have no memory of the first battle.

I love the book so much, and I can't wait for the remake. I hope it's closer to the book. As long as they leave out a certain part between Beverly and the boys in the sewer, anyway.

LOS ANGELES -- Private funeral services for actress Brittany Murphy will be held Thursday at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills Cemetery, according to her family.

Murphy's body was transferred to the cemetery for burial after an autopsy was completed on the young star Monday. Murphy will be laid to rest during a "strictly private" daytime service.

Many Hollywood celebrities are buried at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, including Bette Davis, Lucille Ball, John Ritter, Gene Autry, Jack Webb, Telly Savalas and Buster Keaton.

Meantime -- L.A. County Coroner's officials are looking into how the celebrity web site TMZ obtained details on prescription drugs contained in an investigator's report on the death of Brittany Murphy.

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter says he doesn't know how TMZ obtained the confidential report and he's concerned other aspects of the investigation could be leaked.

TMZ reported that numerous prescription medications were found at Murphy's Hollywood Hills home, according to notes written by an investigator at the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office.

This is the second time this year the coroner's office has dealt with leaks in a high-profile case. This summer, sheriff's investigators looked into whether coroner's employees leaked or sold information from Michael Jackson's death investigation.

According to the details obtained by TMZ, a check of the nightstands in Murphy's bedroom revealed large amounts of prescription medication in the decedent's name," according to notes written by Investigator Blacklock.

There were also numerous empty prescription bottles in Murphy's husband's name, her mother's name and unidentified third party names.

According to the notes, the medications included Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.

No illegal drugs were found.

Chris Brown treats random strippers better than Rihanna



Chris Brown finally got a break — when he unwittingly found himself at Greenhouse with girls from topless club FlashDancers.

A source said, "When 86 gorgeous girls turned up, Chris Brown, who just happened to be there, looked delighted. And he has an eye for the Latinas."

Brown, who’s still on probation for beating Rihanna wasn’t drinking, the girls told Page Six. One ecdysiast who calls herself Carmen said, "He was the perfect gentleman and very polite."

Another girl, Maria, told us: "He was talking to me but checking out all the other girls at the same time. He seemed fun but very flirtatious...it was clear he had to be on his best behavior, especially with regards to how he treats women."

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z - who married in April 2008 - are to take on both of their respective surnames in order to keep the Sweet Dreams singer's parental line from dying out.

Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter - will now be known as Shawn Knowles-Carter, while Beyonce is to become Beyonce Knowles-Carter.

A source revealed: “They want to keep Knowles because Beyonce’s parents didn’t have any sons and they’re keen to keep the name going strong, especially if they don’t produce any children themselves.”

Earlier this week, the Knowles family suffered a blow when it was announced that Beyonce’s parents Tina and Mathew would be divorcing after 29 years of marriage.

In October, rumours surfaced that Mathew may have been unfaithful, with a paternity suit filed by Alexandra Wright claiming he was the father of her unborn child – an allegation he has denied.

However, in a statement the estranged couple – who also have another daughter, Solange - claimed that the divorce would not be “an ugly, messy fight” and they would continue working together amicably.

With the fourth episode of the fourth season, Oxygen is on track to post six consecutive years of ratings growth.

1 Year, 342 Movies, 12 Months of Production, 7 Minutes. 2009 proved that innovation is rewarded, and for that reason, I've decided no film should be left behind.



I think it's absolutely fucking amazing.

So, ONTD: What do you think was the best/worst movie of 2009?
