RELIGIOUS RIGHT STILL VERY HYPOCRITICAL "Harvey Weinstein won't be seeing his favorite 'porno' in Salt Lake City. Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller's Megaplex Theatres refused to book the Weinstein Company's new R-rated comedy 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno,' starring Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks, saying it's too raunchy for religious, conservative audiences. 'We feel it's very close to an NC-17 with its graphic nudity and graphic sex,' the chain's Cal Gunderson told us. Asked why Megaplex has no problem showing the R-rated, ultra-violent 'Saw V,' which shows a man forced to crush his own hands to escape a pendulum cutting him in half, Gunderson said: 'No comment.'"
Courtesy a court injunction, The Weinstein Co. can't move Project Runway to Lifetime until NBC Universal gets its say in court.
Remember when Jennifer Lopez pulled out of guest judging the Project Runway finale (leaving Tim Gunn to come to the rescue) after suffering a foot injury? And then two days later she participated in a triathlon? Someone looked into it, and it turns out that "foot injury" was all a sham (allegedly).
Apparently J.Lo was upset at The Weinstein Company (which produces PR) because it failed to offer her a part in an upcoming Weinstein film. She was told Thursday, the day before the PR finale filmed, that she would not be getting the part. Voila! Jennifer got a foot injury and was forced to pull out, much to host Heidi Klum's dismay: "Heidi went from one big-name judge for the finale to none," said a source. "It was embarrassing, especially the excuse that [Lopez] was hurt." Maybe we're crazy, but we'd pick Tim Gunn over Jennifer Lopez any day. Project Runway is better off.
Oh, and for the record, J.Lo's rep denied the allegations (of course).

A nosy Village Voice scribe stumbled across a large bundle of Miramax head Harvey Weinstein's garbage whilst in Tribeca the other night, and then he wrote about it for his paper. Besides making it abundantly clear that few scripts pass muster with the notoriously prickly and prickish Weinstein, the refuse also revealed that the mogul is quite a difficult man to get on the phone. After the jump, Harv's "need to call" list.

Bob Marley must be spinning in his grave, and this time it's not because he's insanely high. Despite living a life dedicated to the propagation of peace and love, fucking businessmen have come forth and spawned greed and embitterment in the prolific reggae man's name, tainting his music, his family and his memory.
The family of Bob Marley has refused to license any of his music for a biopic that the Weinstein Co. is prepping — despite the fact that his widow, Rita Marley, is its executive producer.
The reason? There is a competing Martin Scorsese documentary being produced by the Marley family-owned Tuff Gong Pictures and Steven Bing's Shangri La banner, the first theatrical docu to license Marley songs.
Oh, pirate ships.
At last nights American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) benefit last night in Cannes, a svelte George Clooney offered a kiss to the winning bidder of a getaway package. Ultimately the package went for $350,000,and Clooney made good on his promise, but isn't offering to tongue kiss a room full of wealthy, beautiful women in ball gowns kinda like letting the winning bidder massage your feet? It all seems just a tad self-serving.
If he would have offered to kiss Harvey Weinstein, then you've got yourself something worth paying for.
