Bart
makes as much as $10,000 a day for his movie work, before residuals.
He's had major parts in over 20 movies to date, yet has never had to
learn a line of dialogue. And he contributes a part of his earning to
charity every year, but never signs a check. Sounds like a guy who you'd
want your daughter or sister to date, huh? I forgot to mention that
he weighs 1,800 pounds and eats his sushi with the skin on. Bart is
the bear who hunts Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin in
The Edge. Good thing he can't fit in a Beemer or he'd be tooling
around Rodeo Drive, cruising for fur coats. But, he can get you Sir
Anthony Hopkins' home phone number.
Stone is back and it ain't Sharon! Twentieth Century Fox is bringing
the Romancing the Stone series back, probably as a Michael
Douglas vehicle. Given the fact that Douglas is now old enough to
be the stone, let's try some new titles: "Romancing Alone," "My
Hair Has Stopped Grow'n," "Romancing Old Crones," "I'd Like To Be Prone,"
"Romancing The Clone" or "Romance Without Bone." Please feel free to
email your new titles.
The proliferation of meteor films -- Armageddon and Deep Impact
-- is no longer concentrated on U.S. shores. Continuing a diverse acting
repertoire, Mike Myers has agreed to star with Brenda Fricker
and Boogie Nights star Alfred Molina in Meteor,
a drama written and directed by Irish playwright Joe O'Byrne.
Variety says it's a dark coming-of-age story about three children
in a Dublin slum whose lives are changed when a huge meteor crashes
into their backyard. Shooting starts November 10, when Myers completes
his work as disco denizen Steve Rubell in 54, and before
he stars in MGM's remake of The Court Jester.

Picture delves into the dark side of entertainment journalism this
