SARAH PALIN
HBO Films announced on Wednesday that Julianne Moore will play the role of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in the adaptation of the 2008 elections adapted from the behind-the-scenes book Game Change, written by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.
The movie will be directed by Jay Roach and the screenplay has been written by Danny Strong, both members of the team behind HBO's flick "Recount."
For the moment, The Kids Are All Right actress is the first and only member of the cast.
She was scheduled to appear on the channel with her daughter Melissa to promote her new reality show Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?, but Fox canceled her visit.
Why? Because when TMZ (the celebrity gossip website) asked her this weekend what she thought about Sarah Palin, she partially blamed the Arizona shootings on her, and said she was "stupid and a threat"...
As a response to this cancellation, she posted on Twitter: "As a result, our appearance on the Fox News Channel tomorrow morning has been cancelled. Outcome: DON'T PISS OFF SARAH PALIN. She’s apparently 'very powerful,' and is obviously still smarting from the end of her reality show."
So did Sarah Palin asked for this? Or did Fox take the initiative to ban Rivers from the program?
The 'Most Fascinating People of 2010' list is in. Barbara Walters has announced a few of the celebrities that made the cut. Drumroll please...
The cast of the Jersey Shore, (obviously, even though they aren't exactly fascinating) Kate Middleton, Sarah Palin, Lebron James and Justin Bieber are all included. A surprising Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lopez were on the list too. Haven't heard from those two for a while. Not to mention, what is the continuing obsession with Bieber about?
The two remaining fascinating celebrities will be revealed on Walter's ABC special on Dec. 9.
Lady Gaga is a strong candidate or perhaps even Kanye West.
Who do you think?
Despite their public feud Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are getting married. The couple got engaged 2 weeks ago but Sarah Palin didn't find out until recently and how you might ask? Through US Magazine. Haha!
Bristol said that it is "intimidating" and "scary" to think about her mother's reaction and she hopes "she will jump on board". Mm yea, highly doubt that.
This is what mama Palin had to say about her daughter's decision: "Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. We obviously want what's best for our children. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives."
Poor Sarah. Well, goodluck to the engaged couple.
Sarah Palin took a seat on Jay Leno's couch Tuesday night to chat and giggle and all that other nonsense guests do on late-night talk shows. Once the two were done catching up, Leno announced that Palin was going to make her "comedy debut" (apparently SNL doesn't count). The former Governor of Alaska took to the stage and performed a pretty decent stand-up routine. She joked about the things you'd expect: Alaska (it's so cold there it's "5 degrees below Congress' approval rating"), not being the vice president ("I would not know what to do with all that free time), and of course, Tina Fey ("I have been really busy, I've picked up a gig in Las Vegas, at the Legends show, playing Tina Fey.")
Cipriani Upstairs
Thursday nights Fall re-opening was amazing! I had a hot little crew with me - Dovile Virsilaite, her best friend Kirsten and Russian model Guzel. Dovile and Kirsten joined me Upstairs after dinner and we got crazy. My associate “Slim” rolled in with Nima Yamini and took over a swath of the room with eight or nine models. I honestly couldn’t tell you who else was there. But a thank you to all that came to help celebrate - including Damon Dash, who holds meetings outside of Cipriani on an almost daily bases, hyped about his new #1 single.
Sarah Palin and Harper Collins have struck a deal granting the publishing giant exclusive rights to “The Sarah Palin Story,” straight, as it were, from the moose’s mouth. Although Palin will have help from a still anonymous “collaborator,” the sassy Alaskan has said she wants to write a good portion of the book herself. As she told the Anchorage Daily News,
“It will be nice to put my journalism degree to work on this and get to tell my story, Alaska’s story.”
Rumor has it that Bristol Palin’s baby-daddy Levi Johnston is in talks to pen a tell-all book about Alaska’s First Family. The 19-year old Alaskan teen, who recently spoke to Tyra Banks about personal details of his relationship with Sarah Palin’s daughter, is hoping the possible publication could make him upwards of a million dollars. This large sum could finance his battle for custody of the teenagers’ infant son Tripp—which is supposedly the motive behind this project for Levi. Only time will tell if the scandalous tale will be hitting bookshelves near you.
Palin For President? Sarah Palin, the women who was essentially blamed for McCain’s defeat in the 2008 Presidential Election is talking about running for president herself in 2012. She already has set up her own PAC ready for you to join and donate! This should give Tina Fey’s career a boost for the next four years.
It’s pretty apparent the Palins aren’t leaving headlines anytime soon. Last week, Sarah Palin’s 18-year-old daughter, Bristol Palin, gave birth to her and wed-locked boyfriend Levi Johnston’s baby, Tripp. What was a seemingly happy moment last week is a thing of the past this week.
Sarah Palin’s not-yet-son-in-law was forced to leave his electrical apprenticeship at an Alaskan oil field after some journalistic digging was done. Something about Johnston not having a high school diploma was against federal regulations, and something about the governor using her position to get him the job in the first place are both a little out of line.
