Is My Favorite Designer Tom Ford Working On Another Movie?

Designer Tom Ford is gearing up for another film, Moviefone reports. The clothier-turned-cineaste directed last year's "A Single Man," which was nominated for an Oscar and three Golden Globes.
"A Single Man" star Colin Firth revealed to Moviefone, "I do know that he has plans to make another movie....I consider him a very good friend, but he won't give anything away to me about what the film is. I know, whatever it is, it's gonna be very different from 'A Single Man.' I'm jealous of whoever's going to be in it."
Firth added that he doesn't intend to act in it, explaining, "I have a feeling it's just not [going to be] set in the right place, with the right requirements."
But Firth isn't the only one talking. As Ford has been dropping hints about his follow-up since doing press for his debut--having described it as something "very different" to his debut, something he's developing "from scratch" presumably meaning it's an original screenplay and additionally noting a "need to make my next movie in London because that's where my design studio is, and it was a little hard making ['A Single Man'] in LA because my design team had to come with suitcases full of clothes on the weekends for fittings."

Is there a double standard for women sexual content in movies?

Ryan Gosling is speaking out against the MPAA's decision to give "Blue Valentine" an NC-17 rating due to a sex scene he does not believe to be illicit. "The MPAA is OK supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario,

which is both complicit and complex," he says. "It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film." On behalf of moviegoers everywhere who are tired of seeing more female nudity onscreen than male, we'd like to offer Ryan a high-five and a thank you.

When being a celebrity goes wrong!!!

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- A federal judge ordered actor Wesley Snipes to surrender to authorities Friday so he can begin serving a three-year prison sentence for tax-related crimes

U.S. District Court Judge William Terrell Hodges in Ocala, Fla., rejected a request from the actor's attorneys to review Snipes' sentence and grant a new trial. Snipes has been free on bond for more than two years while appealing.

"The defendant Snipes had a fair trial; he has had a full, fair and thorough review of his conviction and sentence. ... The time has come for the judgment to be enforced," the judge wrote in his 16-page decision.

The 48-year-old star of the "Blade" trilogy and Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever" was convicted in 2008 on three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file his income tax returns. He was acquitted of two more serious felony charges.

T.I. Pens Letter From Prison "I'm Sick And Motherf*cking Tired Of Going To Jail"

Having your freedom taken away has to be one of the worst feelings for any man or woman. It doesn't matter if you're a celebrity. When those bars shut behind you, there's a lot of time to reflect on past mistakes and what got you here in the first place.

Atlanta rapper T.I. recently wrote a letter from prison that was posted on his blog about his current situation. To say he's upset about it would be an understatement.

"This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that's saying a lot for a n*gga who's been down locked up as many times as I have. I see this as a real a** whoopin'. The kind you don't just go back outside to play afterwards. You take ya ass to bed and don't come out of your room until it's time to go to school.

I don' t know what effect this will have on my life moving forward but I'm certainly sick and mother f*cking tired of going to jail, juve, prison, the pen, correctional facilities or whatever else you want to call it. I'd have been better off doing a 5-10 year bid one time than going in time and time again for days, weeks and months for the last 15 years of my life.

Even though it's been a long road, I'm still standing, barely but nevertheless still standing. At one time I thought my motivation for continuing was for my fans, my partna Philant, my pops, my grandmama, even for the haters or the people I let down. But nah... I got to do this s*** for me!!! I'll be God damned if I've come all this way and made it through so much hell to let it go down like this! F*ck that! If an hour in the dark is worth a second in the sun then pass me my mother f*ckin' shades cause I'm ready to cash my darkest hours in...ASAP!!!

A lot of folks had fathers or father figures in the house to raise them into manhood. I'm not trying to make any excuses for my situation but my father was a hustler that lived in New York. My uncle was a local big time dope boy turned 10 year federal inmate.

My mother and grandparents did the best they could but I found my manhood in the trap and in prison systems. But I found it. And nan one of mine will ever have to feel the cold tight grip of a handcuff or grace the presence of a jail cell if I can help it.

Over my dead body!

So if you can't respect that you ain't rocking with my movement then F*ck you dog! I know a bunch of mother f*ckers who are.....
