Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce won awards for Best Lead Actress and Best Supporting Actor, respectively, for the miniseries "Mildred Pierce". The TV movie did not however win for Best Miniseries.

Philip Glass to Be Inducted Into Classical Hall of Fame

Philip Glass portrait by Chuck Close

"Philip Glass, one of America’s most famous living composers, will be inducted into the Cincinnati-based American Classical Music Hall of Fame in a special ceremony in Music Hall on Oct. 1. Glass, who is one of three creative directors overseeing the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra season this year, will be in town for the premiere of his Concerto Fantasy for two Timpanists and Orchestra.....Glass, who is celebrating his 75th birthday year, has made an extraordinary impact upon the musical and intellectual life of our time. In the ’70s, he composed a large collection of new music for his performing group, the Philip Glass Ensemble, and for the Mabou Mines Theater Company, which he co-founded. This period culminated in Music in Twelve Parts, followed by the landmark opera, Einstein on the Beach in 1976. Since Einstein, Glass has expanded his repertoire to include music for opera, dance, theater, chamber ensemble, orchestra, and film. His score for Martin Scorsese’s Kundun received an Academy Award nomination while his score for Peter Weir’s The Truman Show won him a Golden Globe." [Source]

Scarlett Johansson Hacked Leaked Nude Photos

Source: www.GutterUncensored.com

Oh yes, Scarlett Johansson nude pics leaked to the internet...thank you god. Because some awesome hacker/superhero was bold enough to do what most guys wish they could by hacking her phone and leaked naked photos of Scarlett Johansson to the interwebs this morning. And the FBI is already on the case which means these photos are totally real. The word is the FBI is investigating "a series of computer intrusions" that targeted Hollywood celebrities including pictures of a semi-naked Scarlett allegedly hacked from her mobile phone. The Scarlett Johansson leaked nude photos were apparently taken by the actress herself. The person behind the hacking is being called "The Hollywood Hacker" and he has Hollywood in living in fear. The Reuters news agency report:

Nude pictures of the 26-year-old "Iron Man 2" beauty (left and below) surfaced on the internet Wednesday.

FBI spokeswoman Ari Dekofsky confirmed that the agency is investigating the person or group responsible for a computer intrusion of high-profile figures.

Also read: Report: FBI Investigating Hackers That Targeted Female Celebs

However she said that, "due to it being an ongoing investigation, we are not at liberty to confirm specific victims or a number of victims."

In March, there were reports that hackers managed to get private information belonging to 50 female celebrities, including Johansson. Others included Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Ali Larter and Demi Lovato.

Johansson's spokesman did not return messages left at his office Wednesday.

Why does every female celebrity in Hollywood take naked pictures of themselves? I don't know, but I am not complaining. I just want to know why they take nude camwhoring photos and then run to the FBI after the pictures are inevitable leaked to the web. Anyway, one of these nude images of Scarlett have been floating around the internet for some time now. I think the hacker was shopping around a larger set of her nude pictures a few months ago and shared one with certain media. I guess there were no buyers back then or the price was not right but anyhow it is good that we are getting the set now. Enjoy! Click on pictures to enlarge.

Just had to fix the last swinger post by re-uploading the photos. Sorry for the broken links to images earlier... The Google service that we use to host photos for the Gutter Uncensored website is fucking up of last. So sometimes you are seeing this minus sign in a circle thing instead of a huge pair of tits or a hot pussy:

Yeah, it sucks balls but hopefully Google will fix their shit soon... As you surf the web it is a Google fuck up every time you see that minus sign with the circle instead of the image you were expecting. Lately I have been getting that lame frustrating Microsoft feeling from Google. You know I hate the Google Corporation with a passion for it being one giant asshole run by little assholes but at least the products and services worked well.

Now it does not even seem have the quality thing going for it anymore. Recently Google products and services started to fail to function all together. Or even worse, totally incompatible with each other across the broad! That Google Translate tool does not work on Blogger blogs with adult content warnings yet Google Translate work perfectly on blogs using Wordpress with adult content and warning pages. Yup, Google the next Microsoft or even worse Yahoo... so SAD!!!

Anthony Hopkins to Play Psychic Serial Killer Hunter

Well, it's not really as exciting as it sounds in the title. I might have exaggerated a bit. Anthony Hopkins is in negotiations to star in the movie "Solace" and he will play a doctor with psychic abilities who is helping the FBI capture dangerous serial killers. It's disappointing in way, because I suppose we won't be seeing the menacing Hopkins that we love from movies like "Silence of the Lambs", "Fracture", or "The Rite". The script was originally penned by Sean Bailey and Ted Griffin ("Ocean's Eleven", "Matchstick Men") and subsequently rewritten by James Vanderbilt ("Zodiac") and Peter Morgan ("The Queen", "Hereafter"). I don't usually condone the rewrite process, but in this case, some big names have been assigned to it, so I'm going to look the other way just this once. "Solace" begins filming sometime next year and is expected to be released in 2014, so wait we shall.

Eddie Murphy to Host 2012 Oscars

Following the 2011 Anne Hathaway & James Franco Oscars debacle, the Academy is seriously considering radical solutions to the falling ratings problem. So, the new host of next year's Academy Awards show is ... (drum roll) ... Eddie Murphy. Well, you already read the title and saw the picture, so I guess there was no need for a drum roll. Murphy came in after Brett Ratner was hired to direct the show. I'm sure Ratner was probably impressed by Murphy's performance in his latest action comedy, "Tower Heist", but, honestly, they will need a lot more than Murphy's exhausting rants to increase the show's excitement factor. On the bright side of things, though, Eddie Murphy is pretty damn good when it comes to improvisation, so I'm hoping he can pull off some funny riffs during the show. Ayway, next year, on the 26th of February, we'll find out how good Eddie Murphy is at stand-up comedy these days.

WORLD WAR Z (2012) - On-Set Zombie Attack Video

This video gives us a glimpse of one of the movie's many zombie attack sequences. The scene also involves a little zombie metamorphosis, as one person gets bitten, transforms into a zombie, then goes into a frenzy. The stunt person does a great job, portraying the "zombie fever" with "conviction" and the scene looks to have a realistic and frightening atmosphere. The movie is directed by Marc Forster ("Monster's Ball", "Quantum of Solace") and stars Brad Pitt, Bryan Cranston, Matthew Fox and James Badge Dale. Based on a novel  by Max Brooks, the movie tells the story of a world war triggered by a zombie outbreak, narrated through the perspective of survivors, after the end of war. Scheduled for release on December 21, 2012, because, well, December is a great month for a zombie flick, right ?

First Look at Superman's New Costume

Filming in the street usually means lots and lots of photo opportunities which allow us to catch a glimpse of what a movie like "Man of Steel" will look like. Some weeks ago Warner Brothers released the first official image of Henry Cavill as Superman, but the dark texture of the image didn't allow for a clear look at the suit. Now, thanks to the heroic efforts of some anonymous photographer, we get a much better look at the Superman suit. It's easy to notice that the design has suffered some modifications, but nothing too drastic. It actually looks pretty cool. First thing I noticed was that the yellow belt is gone, allowing for a more streamlined costume design. Overall, the suit has a very modern feel to it, which is a good thing. I'm just curious as to why in one picture he has the red cape on and in the other, no cape. Is it possible that in some scenes the cape will be added through CGI ?



"Man of Steel" is directed by Zack Snyder ("300", "Watchmen") and produced by Christopher Nolan ("The Dark Knight", "Inception"), with a production budget estimated at $175M. Beside Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, the movie also stars Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Diane Lane as Marha Kent, Julia Ormand as Lara Lor-Van and Russell Crowe as Jor-El. Scheduled for release on June 14, 2013.

THE WOLVERINE - Pre-Production Update

Filming for the sequel to "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" will begin next year. Until then, we're going to get plenty of pre-production news, like, for example, the recent update that tells us the script for "The Wolverine", originally written by Christopher McQuarrie ("Valkyrie"), will be rewritten by Mark Bomback ("Unstoppable", "Live Free or Die Hard"). According to Variety, the story will still take place in Japan and will feature a new character, called Viper:

"The story will find Wolverine suffering from amnesia and searching for answers about his past in the Japanese criminal underworld where he finds both love and tragedy. The entire cast will be comprised of Japanese and Japanese-American actors except for a newly-expanded character named Viper, who's the Caucasian secretary for Japan's Minister of Justice."

Since Ken Watanabe also stars in the movie, maybe he'll be playing the Minister of Justice. He certainly fits the bill. "The Wolverine" will be directed by James Mangold ("3:10 to Yuma", "Walk the Line"). The crew also includes cinematographer Matthew Libatique ("Iron Man", "Black Swan"), production designer François Audouy ("Avatar", "Spiderman") and costume designer Ellen Mirojnick ("Starship Troopers", "G.I. Joe").

Absent Salvatore Licitra Will Be Made Honorary Citizen

Although tenor Sal­vatore Licitra was born in Switzer­land and grew up in Milan, his family is originally from Acate which is a small town in the south of Sicily. With the ill tenor still in a coma from his accident, the family has given their blessing for Mayor Giovanni Caruso to bestow him with honorary citizenship to Acate. The city council met in an emergency meeting at the castle of the Prince of Biscari to arrange the ceremony that will take place on September 5.

 "Il Consiglio comunale di Acate si riunirà domenica 5 settembre alle 19,30, al Castello dei Principi di Biscari, in seduta straordinaria, per il conferimento della cittadinanza onoraria al tenore Salvatore Licitra. L'artista si trova ricoverato da domenica scorsa in gravi condizioni all'ospedale «Garibaldi» di Catania, dopo il drammatico incidente in scooter di sabato scorso a Donnalucata, frazione di Scicli. Ma in queste ore i familiari, sia pure provati, hanno dato il proprio assenso al sindaco Giovanni Caruso, allo svolgimento della cerimonia." [Source]

New Director for DIE HARD 5

John Moore

Mind you, they are still in final negotiations, but it seems that 20th Century Fox and Bruce Willis have finally decided who they want directing the new "Die Hard" sequel. The lucky director is John Moore, who is (in)famous for such films as "Max Payne", featuring a very upset Mark Wahlberg, "Flight of the Pheonix", featuring a cool plane crash and a creepy Giovanni Ribisi and "Behind Enemy Lines" featuring what I like to call a "popcorn war". To Moore's credit, the previously mentioned films are all very well executed, albeit devoid of any kind of intellectual appeal. Let's face it, if you're looking for an exciting brainless thrill-ride, John Moore is the ideal director. He's certainly demonstrated his ability to stage cool action scenes, which is probably what attracted Fox's attention in the first place. Rumors have it that Bruce Willis needed a little more convincing before he agreed with the studio's choice.




Still, I think that Fox and Willis have not learned anything from the underwhelming "Live Free or Die Hard", which is an okay action flick, but undeserving of the "Die Hard" title. John McClane, once a cool action icon has become nothing more than a computer-generated hero for the "Transformers" generation. Anyway, enough with the fanboy rants. The fifth installment in the franchise is set to take place in Russia and will be written by Skip Woods ("The A-Team", "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", "Swordfish").

ROMANCING THE STONE Remake Becomes TV Series

Last week, I wrote a post in which I discussed the news of a "Romancing the Stone" remake. Today, in a surprising turn of events, NBC has hired writer Mark Friedman ("Home of the Brave", "The Forgotten" TV series) and director Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum", "Date Night", "Real Steel") to turn the 1984 adventure movie into a TV series. Levy will probably direct the pilot episode and stay on the show as a producer and writer. At the moment it's unclear whether or not there will also be a feature length remake and if there will be one, it will probably be directed by Shawn Levy. To find out more about the remake rumors and the original 1984 movie, read this post : "FLATLINERS and ROMANCING THE STONE Remakes"

Salvatore Licitra Remains in a Coma and on Respirator

UPDATE ON THE CONDITION OF SALVATORE LICITRA AFTER ACCIDENT: The Garibaldi hospital has confirmed after respiratory monitoring and a CAT scan of the tenor's chest, there was a complication with his lungs and they had to drain fluid out of them. He is on a ventilator and remains in a coma. Reports are starting to come out that the tenor may have suffered a "brain hemorrhage" while driving his scooter and that is what forced him to lose control before the accident. [Source, Source]




"'Durante la nottata la monitorizzazione dell'attività respiratoria e una Tac di controllo del torace - si legge in un bollettino medico diffuso dall'azienda ospedaliera - mettevano in evidenza una complicanza polmonare quale esito dell'impatto subito a causa della caduta dalla moto pertanto in mattinata attraverso una broncoscopia si è reso necessario praticare una accurata toilette del polmone. Dopo la rimozione delle sostanze causa dell'infiammazione polmonare, l'attività respiratoria, permanendo comunque in ventilazione meccanica, si è regolarizzata.'"

Jonas Kaufmann To Honor Post-Surgery MET "Faust" Dates

"Jonas Kaufmann, a major international tenor who has become an increasingly important presence at the Metropolitan Opera, plans to go ahead with an Oct. 30 recital at the house just two months after undergoing chest surgery, the Met said on Monday. He also remains committed to a run as the title character in a new production of Gounod’s Faust, which opens on Nov. 29, and to appearances in the Ring cycle in the spring, the Met said. 'Jonas Kaufmann has assured the Met through his management that he plans to sing all of his scheduled performances here this season,' according to a company statement. Mr. Kaufmann said on his Web site that he needed to have an operation to remove a node from his chest. 'I do not wish anyone to become alarmed reading this, but my physicians have ordered me to have the surgery done as soon as possible, and it will take place after my appearance in Stockholm on Sept. 2,' he said. He is scheduled to sing in the Jussi Björling gala that day at the Royal Opera. Mr. Kaufmann’s Web site lists five other performances in October, starting on Oct. 10." [Source]
