If this photo of Mrs. Federbush at the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory premiere speaks to the growing child in her belly, what will it mean when Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan wears it sans pregnancy? (Note the arrow.)

It shows how out of it I was in trying to be in it, acknowledging that I was out of it to myself, and then thinking, “Okay, how do I stop being out of it? Well, I get some legitimate illogical narrative ideas” — some novel, you know?
So I decided on three writers that I might be able to option their material and get some producer, or myself as producer, and then get some writer to do a screenplay on it, and maybe make a movie.
And so the three projects were “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” “Naked Lunch” and a collection of Bukowski. Which, in 1975, forget it — I mean, that was nuts. Hollywood would not touch any of that, but I was looking for something commercial, and I thought that all of these things were coming.
There would be no Blade Runner if there was no Ray Bradbury. I couldn’t find Philip K. Dick. His agent didn’t even know where he was. And so I gave up.
I was walking down the street and I ran into Bradbury — he directed a play that I was going to do as an actor, so we know each other, but he yelled “hi” — and I’d forgot who he was.
So at my girlfriend Barbara Hershey’s urging — I was with her at that moment — she said, “Talk to him! That guy really wants to talk to you,” and I said “No, fuck him,” and keep walking.
But then I did, and then I realized who it was, and I thought, “Wait, he’s in that realm, maybe he knows Philip K. Dick.” I said, “You know a guy named—” “Yeah, sure — you want his phone number?”
My friend paid my rent for a year while I wrote, because it turned out we couldn’t get a writer. My friends kept on me about, well, if you can’t get a writer, then you write.”

“That was the most disappointing thing to me in how this thing was played. Is that I’m on the phone with you now, after all that’s been said, and the fundamental distinction between what James is dealing with in these other cases is not actually brought to the fore. The fundamental difference is that James Franco didn’t seek to use his position to have sex with anyone. There’s not a case of that. He wasn’t using his position or status to try to solicit a sexual favor from anyone. If he had — if that were what the accusation involved — the show would not have gone on. We would have folded up shop and we would have not completed the show. Because then it would have been the same as Harvey Weinstein, or Les Moonves, or any of these cases that are fundamental to this new paradigm. Did you not notice that? Why did you not notice that? Is that not something notable to say, journalistically? Because nobody could find the voice to say it. I’m not just being rhetorical. Why is it that you and the other critics, none of you could find the voice to say, “You know, it’s not this, it’s that”? Because — let me go on and speak further to this. If you go back to the L.A. Times piece, that’s what it lacked. That’s what they were not able to deliver. The one example in the five that involved an issue of a sexual act was between James and a woman he was dating, who he was not working with. There was no professional dynamic in any capacity.

This is one HOT woman … and I think pregnant women aren’t beautiful.
Most of Hollywood has had the Golden Ticket with those two recently. As long as you have good blow.
she is officially the queen of white trashville. congrats to u brit.
I think she looks great!
i don’t know about u but pregnant chicks in wife beaters don’t really turn me on. put that jessica alba pic back up.
Brit can do no wrong in my book. But I wonder how long the wait is before she does Playboy.
is it just me or is Britney’s hairline receding? and is one eye actually starting to droop as much as her boobs? and what is with her mouth – is she actually gurning? Houston we have a probelm … Abort! Abort !
Blustealer: hopefully in about three more months. HOT PREGNANT ACTION!
If you’re a doctor shouldn’t you know those things, man?
There’s nothing more unatractive than trailer trash girl like her, unless of course she’s pregnant. Skank is a word that best defines that woman.
Of course now that she’s heading down to the wire most people have started a pool as to when Cletus finally dumps her.
He will never, ever, repeat never get rid of her. He is living on easy street. Why get rid of that? He will be taken care of forever. He hits his jackpot.
lester – i am not a doctor of medicine. i am a script doctor. but i can see bad genes with one eye closed.
No one seems to “get” my question… or maybe everyone is ignoring it…
I am trying not to think about that, Dave. I’m a good girl.
well Dave that may be an ok question to pose in the Tropicana with your producer pals but it is a little off-color (no pun intended) for a respectible movie blog.
that really is ‘guess the gross’ isn’t it.
If Linday gets curvy again, her porn films will sell more than Paris’ who has already proven on film that she’s boring and sooooo Method.
Lindsay would sell more but with all the coke she does I don’t think she’d even feel it.
Shouldn’t that shirt have the arrow pointing up and say, “Please talk about me!!!”
I hate to say it but her face looks terrible.
whatever.
Brit continues to make Xtina laugh her ass off. She hit the wall before the twins, and the wall has continually hit back. We might seriously be heading to a “FEDERLINE ABOUNDING HIS KIDS pt 2!” situation in the future. Since there are always other female artist who will need backup dancers.
i reiterate
WHATEVER
Can we talk about movies please?
camel if u don’t like it stop posting in this thread but some of us enjoy talking about britney and her fall from hotness to white trashness.
Just remember kids. To avoid a fall to white trash. You must avoid people name JASON ALEXANDER. Of course, if they went to BU, and are underappreciated. That’s alright. The rest of them, dont trust them!
Camel, there are countless, discussions going on on this blog right now. Like staying power debate, the auteur the debate, and the most thrilling debate about Penquins: Ruthless killers or cuddily lovely animals?
One thing someone has to point out; did Brit miss the whole “DONT USE HAIR DYE WHEN PREGGERS” memo or what? Great. Her kids are almost guaranteed to be a bit off.
Her eyes are scaring me. That is why grown men don’t fall for girls in their late teens/early twenties. Good for a one nighter but you never know where they are headed.
My post are lame? My post are lame and incoherent? Dude, feel the hate towards young women in that post, and the totally sexist bent in it as well. You living in another freaking atmosphere Dad. A warped ass one where statements like that make sense.
I’m really disliking this JW guy. And I like everyone.
I feel like she has been around for years. I can’t wait to see where her career goes from here. The possibilities are endless.
He is about as funny as a comedy show on the UPN network. That be saying something if you have ever caught one of those comedies.
I think our friend JW needs a hug. Anyone want to take one for the team? Preferably a male since he is known to “touch”.
I will not be giving that clown anything. He hates Brit so therefore he is on my shitlist. No huggy hugs.
I feel sorry for Britney. She had the world at her fingertips and now loses out on roles to the likes of Jessica Simpson.
Well you can put your hanky away Mark since Jessica won’t be wearing the crown she pimped for very long. She’ll be big-time busted very soon and someone else will wear the county fair pop-princess tiara.
Jess has a hit show, hit record, and now starring roles in A list movies. I think you better get used to her.
Hmm, I would say her hit show is fading by now. What you called her hit record, I checked the american itunes to hear a sample of these boots… (it’s not available on the canadian itunes)… and is it just me, or is her version terrible? I’m sure it’s one sexy video though.
Do you really think Jessica Simpson could ever open a movie? Other than as a supporting babe? I checked the imdb, and all it lists after Dukes is “Room Service,” which looks painful.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434313/
I think she’s doomed.
She has very nice implants though.
Blu, did you miss Terene Debauchery insulting Brit? I feel sorry for her. Not my fault she decided to get all sorts of On the Waterfront on the world. Dont go giving me shit because you cant read Debauchery’s post right. Though, I know people with Blu for a nick, and you madam do not carry it with the proper class it deserves! HOOAH!
You do release JW is L&DB, don’t you.
When I was at Batman Begins last night there was a pack of about 5 13year old boys and we saw trailers for Cinderella Man, The Island, Charlie & The Chocolate Factor, Dukes of Hazzard and King Kong and the one movie they all expressed extreme enthusiasm for…
…Dukes of Hazzard.
