NORTON'S OBAMA DOC GAINS MOMENTUM • "A documentary, more than two years in the making, about President-elect Barack Obama’s campaign is gathering significant interest from international distributors just days after being picked up in the United States by HBO. A team of directors and editors backed by the actor Edward Norton is furiously editing the untitled project. Given the historic nature of Mr. Obama’s victory and worldwide interest in the presidential race, the film is drawing attention from the BBC and other foreign broadcasters. Since the HBO acquisition was announced, 'we’ve had an enormous number of incoming calls from territories all over the world,' said Andrew Hurwitz, an entertainment lawyer who is representing the film along with the talent agency Endeavor."

Less Than Phoning It In

Excited to see The Incredible Hulk this weekend? Don't be! Not even the film's star, Edward Norton, can maintain interest in the big-budget flick.

Norton, who was mind-blowing in Primal Fear and then kinda eh in everything since, is refusing to do any publicity for Hulk, opting instead to take a tropical vacation.

With this, Norton finds himself in the company of the young and talentless. Actress Mischa Barton pulled the exact same diva-ish behavior last month at Cannes, skirting press obligations for her film You and I.

We hate to say it, but we're starting to think rich, famous people are spoiled fucking brats.
