Celebrating 100 years of John Carter; A Look Ahead At The Upcoming Big Screen Adaptation

Posted: 04 Feb 2012 10:05 AM PST

February, 1912. That was the month and year when the public was first introduced to John Carter, the main character of Edgar Rice Burroughs' science fiction story Under the Moons of Mars (as it was first published in the All-Story Magazine). Which means that 2012 marks the first 100 years of this character. More below. For those who don't know, Edgar Rice Burroughs also created another well-known character: Tarzan. Burroughs became very popular with the readers at the time, so in 1917, Under the Moons of Mars was published as a novel with the title A Princess of Mars. With the success of the first novel, 10 more sequels were published. In total, there are 11 novels, known as BARSOOM series. From 1977 to 1979, John Carter was featured in Marvel Comics' John Carter, Warlord of Mars, and he also appeared along Tarzan in Tarzan Sunday comic strip, as well as in

Courtney Love to Sue Over Leaked Court Documents

Posted: 04 Feb 2012 10:33 AM PST

Courtney Love plans to sue over leaked "confidential" deposition papers filed by her daughter, Francis Bean Cobain. According to the NY Post, the documents alleged Love's drug use, and claimed the family dog and cat died as a result of her drug-induced behavior.

The paperwork was filed in 2009 when Francis was seeking a restraining order against her mom. Love's attorney, James Janowitz, is investigating how website, The Fix, and a new e-book, "Courtney Comes Clean," was able to directly quote statements from the papers.

Janowitz explained, "I was the lawyer who worked on these [family court] proceedings in Los Angeles, and the filing was confidential and sealed as is customary in these kind of cases. I don't know how they were disclosed. When I find out what happened, we will take the appropriate legal action."

The shocking court papers claimed the family cat died after getting "entangled" in Love's piles of possessions, while the dog, Uncle Fester, allegedly swallowed some of Love's prescription pills. The papers also said Cobain was concerned over her mother's prescription drug use and starting fires while smoking in bed -- a dangerous move the Hole singer has made more than once.

The Fix editor and author Maer Roshan said, "I honestly regret that Courtney is upset. While there's been lots of press about the deposition, reviews of the book have universally commented on its nuanced and empathetic portrayal. As most people know, Courtney is not a model of discretion. The details about the deposition are absolutely true, and I stand by every word in the book."

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- A lawyer says the mother of the actress Phil Spector was convicted of killing has settled her wrongful death suit against the legendary music producer.

Attorney John Taylor tells the Los Angeles Times the terms of Friday's settlement were confidential, but says his client, Donna Clarkson, is pleased and relieved the suit is over.

Lana Clarkson was shot and killed in the foyer of Spector's Alhambra mansion nine years ago.

Donna Clarkson attended the 2009 trial daily, and testified that her daughter was upbeat and not at all suicidal, as Spector's defense alleged.

Woody Harrelson's Love Scene Jitters Remedy? Tequila!

Posted: 04 Feb 2012 09:14 AM PST

"Extra's" Jerry Penacoli caught up with "Rampart" star Woody Harrelson -- who talked about his nerve-wracking love scenes opposite Sean Penn's ex-wife, Robin Wright, and said, "I needed a drink, she had some tequila, and said, 'Let's do it.'"

He added, "Oh yeah, I was about as nervous as I've ever been."

Harrelson said gulping down the shots "helped," noting, "These artificial inducements to relaxation, of course, I am 100-percent against them, but in this particular case, I thought it was worthwhile."

"Rampart" takes place on the streets of L.A., telling the intense story of corrupt cops. Woody said he needed to step out of his comfort zone to play the role of a police officer, saying, "I'm a happy hippie from Hawaii, and this is a hard kind of image to think of me as a cop in my own mind."

The actor admitted he would love to have starred in the 2011 comedy, "Hall Pass," explaining, "I thought that movie was phenomenal."

Watch the video to see which stooge Woody wanted to play in "The Three Stooges," and who actually nabbed the part!

When Jennifer Beals comes to Castle as part of a February sweeps two-parter, she will be more than just one of Rick Castle's old flames.

Exclusive: Castle books Jennifer Beals for two-parter

When Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) discover a murder victim who was apparently murdered by a rogue CIA agent, they quickly find themselves in the middle of a much larger investigation, led by Beals' Sophia Conrad.

"She is a CIA agent and, as we know, in Richard Castle's first series of books, a female CIA agent figured prominently," creator and executive producer Andrew W. Marlowe tells TVGuide.com. "So, of course, it would lead us to ask: Is Beckett Castle's first muse?"

Naturally, Beckett learning that she isn't Castle's first will leave Beckett with lots of questions about the will-they-won't-they couple's future...

Harrison Ford In Early Negotiations For New BLADE RUNNER Film

Posted: 04 Feb 2012 07:44 AM PST

Back in August of last year, Alcon Entertainment producer Andrew Kosove said that there were no plans to bring back Harrison Ford in Ridley Scott's upcoming Blade Runner movie. Whether or not the film is a sequel or prequel has yet to be announced, but the following news may indicate that the movie is indeed a direct sequel to the original film. Twitch Film has learned that Harrison Ford - who played lead character 'Deckard' in the original 1982 film - has entered early negotiations to join the new Blade Runner installment. As the discussions are still early, it's possible that things won't work out and Ford won't appear in the movie. Still, it can be considered evidence that the film is a sequel to Scott's original film. In addition, back in November, Ridley Scott himself stated the film was 'liable' to be a sequel. But expect an official announcement

McCarthy, who recently hosted the Svedka Anti-Valentine's Day party, said, "In yoga, I must say there are some quality guys there."

Jenney also gave her thoughts on Valentine's Day. "I feel like there's too much pressure to be romantic, and nothing can ever really top what's in your imagination. So it's always a little bit of a disappointment. Kind of like getting married."
