The Great Gatsby Trailer Sets Off Backlash
Posted on: May 24, 2012
The first two minute trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby was released yesterday and it’s gotten some emotional responses from lovers of the American classic. I’m not sure why…it has ’updated classic with a twist’ stamped all over it and that’s what Lurhmann does, right? Think: Romeo & Juliet and Moulin Rouge. I mean, it’s going to be in 3D for Pete’s sake..what did you expect?
Vanity Fair describes it as :The frenetic, high-drama preview promises sweeping shots of Jay Gatsby’s West Egg soirées, immaculate set design, and period-perfect costumes—but also what appears to be a hyper-stylized, extended-music-video treatment of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s American classic. The trailer opens to the Kanye West/Jay-Z collaboration “No Church in the Wild” against images of Jazz Age excess that could fit into any rap video: wealthy men and women clinking cocktails in speeding convertibles, free-flowing liquor, women swaying from chandeliers over pulsating party crowds, and ample sexual tension. (So maybe Luhrmann nailed the “excess” aspect in one way or another.)
Praised as “gonzo,” “dazzling,” and visually “spectacular” by preview reviewers, it’s also set off a swift rebuttal in comments sections and on Twitter. (“UGH Baz Lurhmann stop touching things that I like!” Time-magazine columnist James Poniewozik added on the latter.) Ahead, the most outraged (or funniest) responses to Luhrmann’s latest spectacle, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher, and Tobey Maguire. The full-length feature can be seen in all its glory in 3-D when it’s released in theaters on Christmas.
Here are a few of the responses it’s gotten so far:
“Gatsby trailer looks more Las Vegas commercial romance than West Egg decadence and tragically hollow love story. #disappointed”
“Voulez-vous barfez avec moi, ce barf? Moulin Rouge!”
“I had no idea they had autotune back in 1922.”
“Who put this trailer together, Michael Bay? Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. Slow it down and get rid of the cheesy music so we can get a true feel for the movie, unless this is the true feel of the movie.”

Jim Parson’s Quietly Comes Out Of The Closet
Posted on: May 24, 2012
He didn’t do it on a magazine cover with adopted babies and a gorgeous boyfriend, but Jim Parson’s is officially out of the closet. There seems to be mixed emotions about Dr. Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory being gay. No one cares that he is gay of course, they are upset that he is not more of an advocate and using his voice as other gay and lesbian celebs have to try to bring some understanding to the mainstream.
Here’s how the news was quietly released: Times writer Patrick Healy, discussing a Broadway play the 39-year-old actor was in last year wrote, ‘The Normal Heart resonated with him on a few levels: Mr Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship… ‘
The Daily Mail cited Out magazine for criticizing Jim for not living loud and proud: Unlike other actors who identify as gay, such as Ellen DeGeneres or Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Parsons has been very quiet on the subject. In a recent edition of Out magazine, columnist Michael Musto called for Jim Parsons, as well as other actors such as Queen Latifah, to come out of the closet loudly and proudly, calling it the ‘honourable – and sensible – thing to do.’
He never identified the name of the man he is in a relationship with and I don’t blame him. I really don’t see the problem in a gay celebrity keeping their private life as quiet as they can. We don’t fault straight celebs for this, we praise them for it.

Britney Spears X-Factor Contract: Snickers, Doritos and Fried Chicken
Posted on: May 23, 2012
You can put the chicken fried on a hit tv show…but she’s still gonna be chicken fried.
Included in the $15 million contract that Britney Spears signed to appear as a judge on X-Factor, the show must keep six cases of Diet Coke containing 24 cans in her dressing room at all times. Also required are 10 snack sized bags of Doritos a day, 12 vases of magnolia blossoms, 10 pieces of chicken and four pints of potato salad every week.
Britney’s contracts also states she will have a beauty team which includes a personal manicurist, a facialist and a massage therapist at her service when filming. Because it takes that many people to look good after eating fried chicken, chips and potato salad.
