Hollywood Actor John Travolta Shurgs Off Sex Scandal Involvement

Appearing unfazed with the sex scandals that envelope him, John Travolta seems to have the intention of just living it up to a title of one of his films: “Be Cool.” The actor showed no worries when he was spotted laughing and joking with some fans that were outside of his hotel in New York City. The 58-year old Travolta looked very cheerful as he stepped out of the car and then warmly welcomed the attention of the supportive fans waiting for him.

Recently, the “Face/Off” actor has been very busy promoting his latest Oliver Stone film, “Savages.” Travolta was at the premiere of the movie with his wife, Kelly Preston, and the couple put on a surprisingly display of affection. Their public appearance showing their sweetness with each other is proof that all is well between the couple whose marriage has been put to a test after gay sex allegations were thrown at Travolta. He has been happily married to actress Kelly Preston since 1991. The couple was blessed with three children. However, their eldest child Jett died in 2009 at the very young age of 17 because of a seizure.

News are currently emerging that the sailor, who accused Travolta of sexual harassment, is suing the actor once again for assault this time. These scandals heated up just last month when two lawsuits were filed from the male masseurs who claimed that John Travolta had made sexual advances at them when they were giving him a body massage. According to reports, one claim has already been withdrawn. Last week, author Robert Randolph has taken into consideration filing another lawsuit against Travolta and his lawyer, Marty Singer, for making false claims about the author’s mental condition that questions his credibility. Randolph’s book, “You’ll Never Spa in This Town Again” never made it to the bookshelves because he claimed that Travolta and his lawyer managed to stop its publication. The author wrote down explosive information in the book that he has witnessed Travolta engaging in a sexual intercourse with men at several bath houses.

There are other persons suddenly coming out and making such claims about the actor, not knowing what really their intentions are, but John Travolta never addressed these allegations directly. However, the actor’s legal team has strenuously denied these allegations and his lawyer said that they will also take legal actions.

'The Dark Knight Rises' Batman Character Must Die?

Superhero Batman cannot possibly die. Bruce Wayne made that clear on the “Batman Begins” movie when he was on his jet together with Alfred. "As a man, I'm flesh and blood. I can be ignored I can be destroyed, but as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting." Those were his words and it has always been the mindset of Batman. It has been a common comic book practice that major characters must not die. However, there are some reports claiming that there is only one way to finally put an end to this movie franchise. 

Comic-film versions never took the lead character up to the point that they die and take the risk of ending a very successful movie franchise but an ending to the series is what Christopher Nolan, the director of the film, intends to precisely do with the movie “The Dark Knight Rises.”  Co-writer Jonathan, Nolan’s brother, shared his thoughts to Empire magazine about his feelings on a solid ending to a film. He believes that it helps the storyteller’s functions.

"It's the right way to end it, to blow the whole thing up! It's better than trying to spin the thing out indefinitely and make it into the Bond franchise," Jonathan Nolan said. "I mean, they've successfully pulled it off with Bond, but at certain costs, certainly at the cost of continuity. I think with almost every other franchise it's a mistake to try and keep those plates spinning. You want stakes. You want tectonic plates to shift. And as a writer you want to feel you've worked on a complete story with a beginning, a middle and an end," Jonathan added.

Meanwhile, co-writer David S. Goyer described the final sequence of the movie. "The final scene of 'The Dark Knight Rises' is exactly that scene we talked about then," Goyer said. "It remained completely unchanged. We both knew in our hearts that we were onto something special. I have to tell you, having finally seen everything strung together and seeing that scene, I got a complete lump in my throat,” he further shared. Goyer’s emotional reaction and statement became a very much-circulated proof about the demise of Bruce Wayne. Does that really mean the death of Batman or is it just a retirement for Bruce Wayne? Well, Bruce Wayne or Batman’s fate will not be fully concealed until the opening of movie “The Dark Knight Rises” in theaters on July 20.

Spice Girls Reunite For A Musical Launch in London

Girl power is back. While Irish group Westlife members decided to go on their separate ways, British pop sensation Spice Girls reunite to announce the details of a musical to be launched in London. The said musical is based on their hit songs and the storyline is based on their fame and the tale of a female friendship. For the first time, the girl group reunited after four years since their 2007-2008 reunion tour.  Geri Halliwell, also known as “Ginger Spice,” famously left the group with bitterness in 1998 and then the group eventually split up. The five members of the Spice Girls have not appeared publicly together until now. These girls are very excited for the upcoming new musical which will be based on their experiences while featuring their biggest hit songs.

Numerous speculations about the musical show and the non-stopping conflicts between the Spice Girls members have been circulating for months. However, the famous members of the group namely Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Melanie Brown made a public appearance showing their support for the musical launch.

According to The Associated Press reports, the “Viva Forever” musical revives the music of the girl powered group in the 90s. It simply tells a story of four good friends whose closeness with one another is put to the test when they become a part of a television talent show. The Spice Girls admitted that they were really delighted with the upcoming show. “Viva Forever” will be produced by Judy Craymer and she is none other than the woman behind the success of the ABBA musical film “Mamma Mia.”

"It's better than we could ever have imagined," said Melanie Chisholm, also known as “Sporty Spice.” The musical show is written by comedienne Jennifer Saunders, who co-created the TV sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous." Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham said that the show would totally introduce a new meaning to Girl Power. "Viva Forever" will have its preview this November and the musical will finally have its grand opening at London’s Piccadilly Theater in December.

“Snow White and The Huntsman” Star Chris Hemsworth Saved His Co-Star From a Horse Fall

“Snow White and The Huntsman” star Chris Hemsworth saved his fellow actor, Sam Claflin, from a dangerous horse fall while filming an action scene for the latest fairytale movie. Claflin admitted about the Australian actor’s heroic act. According to the young English actor, Hemsworth made no hesitation in rescuing him from his painful ordeal with gravity as he fell off a horse.

In an interview during the movie premiere, Claflin shared the story about the accident that happened on set. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star said that he and Chris never had the experience of dismounting a horse that is still running. “However, we tried. The director says action! We run in, I decide it probably wasn’t a clever idea to slow the horse down because I want to look cooler,” Claflin said. However, his costume which was a top-to-toe armor made it very restrictive for the actor to move freely as he wished. “I hopped my leg over, my other foot gets caught in the stirrup, my face hits the floor I'm wailing on the ground like a turtle unable to get up," he revealed.

Sam Claflin, who portrays William in the Snow White film, also admitted that his fall from the horse made him a little bit red-faced. What made him more flushed is the way Chris Hemsworth saved him by doing a style that was close enough to a classic swashbuckler with cinematic effect. “The most embarrassing thing was that I turn around and look up and Chris just glamorously glides off his horse like James Dean in a medieval film in his leathers, the guy literally made it look so cool, and I'm still struggling to get up, and luckily he managed to help me and get me to my feet,” Claflin shared. “I mean what can you say? I'm a lucky man, he's my Prince Charming,” the actor joked.

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth has already gained that much attention and stardom for his tough roles in the films “Thor,” “The Avengers” and “Snow White and The Huntsman.” His good looks are enough to attract a lot of female fans but his generosity and willingness to help someone who is in danger makes him earn a lot of respect especially from his co-star Sam Claflin. He must have also felt somewhat grateful to Chris Hemsworth who was around to help him and save the day.

Hollywood Actress Kristen Stewart Says ‘Snow White’ Is No Fairytale Perfect Girl

Kristen Stewart would not have agreed to take on the lead role for the film “Snow White and The Huntsman” if the character was way too perfect. Is Snow White really far from perfect? The actress who portrays Snow White spoke about the character in her latest movie. Stewart claimed that she admired the concept of director Rupert Sanders re-telling the story of Snow White. What Kristen Stewart loved the most is the idea of allowing her character to be simple, pure, kind and in touch with animals as well as the earth but at a point that she is still human with some flaws. 

“I think what we were excited to do was put her in a world of danger and see if she could actually remain that person and humanize her a bit and not make her this like fairy-tale archetypal perfect girl. It is hard to root for someone who is clearly not going to lose,” the 22-year old actress said on an interview with “Freshly Squeezed.”

Stewart also shared her opinion that it was necessary to make some changes about the story of Snow White because she believed that fairytales are really old. However, the young actress admitted that these stories are worthwhile and it is probably one reason why they are still around. “The stories stick around so long because there is something in them. They don't have the same impact unless you change a few things. In this case it was really important to make Snow White someone who encompasses the maternal, care-taking. I think it is totally worth it,” Stewart explained.

“Snow White and The Huntsman” director, Rupert Sanders, revealed at the world premiere of the movie why he chose Kristen Stewart to portray Snow White for the movie. "To be honest, having 100 billion fans is actually an advantage when you're making a big film like this," Sanders said. Stewart’s ties to the “Twilight” films may be one reason why Sanders wanted to cast the actress. However, Stewart’s strong belief about the lead character is what defines her and with that, Sanders found the perfect Snow White for the blockbuster fairytale movie.
