U.S. bomb expert says "Hurt Locker" stole his story
SOUTHFIELD, Mich - A U.S. Army sergeant who is suing the makers of Oscar-nominated film "The Hurt Locker" said on Wednesday he felt betrayed because they stole his story. Master Sergeant Jeffrey S. Sarver, 38, has filed a lawsuit claiming that the film makers turned an account of his tense experiences defusing bombs in Iraq into the highly regarded action-thriller without his consent.
Many nominees, new stars feed Oscar fashion frenzy
LOS ANGELES - The unusually high number of Oscar contenders this year has set off a frenzy in style circles as old and new designers clamor to outfit stars for the red carpet -- the fashion runway of all fashion runways. This year, 10 films instead of five were nominated for best picture -- the widest best movie Oscar contest in more than 65 years that will likely load the Kodak Theater in Hollywood with stars. As important, a host of new faces including Carey Mulligan, Anna Kendrick and Gabourey Sidibe are giving designers new faces and new looks for which to design.
Jeff Bridges among Oscar gamblers' top picks
LOS ANGELES - Those who are betting real cash on the Oscars have determined that "Crazy Heart's" Jeff Bridges is a lock for best actor, so much so that most online bookies will require you to risk $6 just to win $1. But if there's an upset in that category, it will come from George Clooney for his portrayal of a frequent flyer in "Up in the Air," and gamblers can get much better odds on him, as much as 13-1. Jeremy Renner for "The Hurt Locker" is the long shot at about 28-1.
Israeli film "Ajami" gets real, aims for Oscar
JAFFA, Israel - When the directors yelled "Action!" on the set of Israeli film "Ajami," none of the actors had prepared lines or knew exactly what was expected in their scenes. Most of them had day jobs and never appeared in a movie before. None knew how the low-budget drama would end. And no one imagined it would earn a nomination for best foreign language film at the Academy Awards on March 7.
Burt Reynolds recovering after heart surgery
LOS ANGELES - Actor Burt Reynolds has undergone heart bypass surgery and is expected to make a quick recovery at home, his manager said on Wednesday. Reynolds, 74, a Hollywood star in the 1970s whose hits include "The Longest Yard," "Smokey and the Bandit" and more recently "Boogie Nights," had quintuple bypass surgery last week, according to Entertainment Tonight. He is now being cared for at his Florida home.
Naomi Campbell off the hook on assault accusation
NEW YORK - British supermodel Naomi Campbell will not face charges related to assault accusations by her driver, New York police said Wednesday. The 39-year-old model was accused of striking her driver from behind and causing his head to hit the steering wheel of the car Tuesday afternoon. By the time police arrived at the scene in Midtown Manhattan, Campbell had left on foot.
Viacom to drop Jon Stewart, Colbert Report from Hulu
NEW YORK - Viacom Inc's Comedy Central is withdrawing its popular comedy shows "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report" from online video service Hulu, a Hulu executive said on Tuesday. Hulu's senior vice president of content and distribution, Andy Forssell, said the company was unable to secure the rights to the popular shows from Comedy Central beyond March 9.
Sade leads pop chart for third week
LOS ANGELES - Sade led the U.S. pop album chart for a third week on Wednesday, while Johnny Cash's latest posthumous album was the top debut at No. 3. "Soldier of Love," Sade's first album in almost 10 years, sold 127,000 copies during the week ended February 28, according to Nielsen SoundScan data, taking its total to 820,000.
Oliver Stone "shocked" on revisit to Wall St.
LOS ANGELES - Director Oliver Stone was shocked when he revisited the world of high finance for the sequel to his 1987 hit movie "Wall Street", describing what was happening there as the "collapse of capitalism." "Why did I go back?...Because it's important. It's the collapse of capitalism and the collapse of our society. It is. Our way of life is going to change," Stone told Vanity Fair magazine in an interview.
Leno recaptures old audience, critics underwhelmed
LOS ANGELES - Talk-show host Jay Leno settled comfortably back behind his desk on NBC's "The Tonight Show," recapturing his old audience but leaving most critics underwhelmed. Early audience ratings on Tuesday showed that 6.6 million viewers tuned in Monday night to watch Leno quip that it was "good to be home" in the late-night seat he left in May last year, only to unexpectedly regain it after the failure of his prime-time TV talk show.
