Lego Land

By now, everyone has heard about Disney's plans to launch a Prince of Persia Lego series.

Great idea, but I think someone beat you to it, Mr. Bruckheimer:


The Vertical Wall-Run


Column Jumping


Fighting, using the Dagger of Time



ShadowViking, call your lawyer!

IHJ added some new pics of the Prince returning to L.A.

    Sky News has a Buffest Body poll. Inexplicably, Kiefer Sutherland is winning. Jake is in second.

    Does not compute.

    Sorry for the late, somewhat lame post, folks, but I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Maybe we'll get some fun pics or sightings or Brothers news to lift my/our spirits!

    Shadow Viking should sue, thieves! lol!!!

    Sounds like a lot of recycled gossip babel but thanks for posting!

    And speaking of gossip, i was thinking about the Egypt trip and it sounded more of a family trip to me. It's Presidents week and a lot of schools have the week off including CA. The story claims that they will be traveling by private jet, that would explain why he returned to L.A. on Friday.

    2 weeks in Egypt, one week with the kids and the 2nd by themselves (The nanny takes them back home for school). Just thinking out loud!

    Hope you feel better UV.

    Love how someone else came up with Lego Pop before Disney (or maybe they were working on it already).

    Can't wait to "play" with Lego Darstan/Jake!

    Concrete news on Brothers will be welcomed. I was wondering if they were in Egypt already too bobbyanna after dismissing that story, hmmm.

    I can only put the Kiefer stuff down to us lot having plain weird taste at times, hey, some of us consider Jeremey Clarkson a bit of a sex symbol - just wished they'd put a health warning on it, suddenly clicking on a link and finding yourself stareing as Simon Cowell's torso is not a good thing!

    I was pondering Egypt as well - maybe there is something behind that story, hmmmmm

    Sorry to spam, but I do love babblefish

    The Turteltauben Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal rented themselves a dear nest in London Nobelstadtteil Notting Hill for weekly approximately 5800 dollar. Possibly one can take with „the breeding place “literally, Reese should be more pregnant (Viply reported). In order it does not seem to act a vocationally caused removal anyhow. Jake for the shootings of „Prince OF Persia “(kind of filming 2010) had to oscillate between England and Morocco, however the film already is in post office production. Reese is intended for two more near film projects not designated yet in the future - if you times no baby belly between them come there. Whether they from there from Los Angeles to withdraw itself want? Have Jakes and Reeses new lodging three bedrooms and likewise many bathrooms , a receipt and a dining-room as well as a kitchen with entrance to the terrace. This mansion lies in the popular Artesian Village, small fashion shops is in the direct surrounding field . If the two want to remain longer, they have the option to buy the house for approximately 4.5 million dollar.

    I would just like to point out, if visiting London most of our shops are not actually in fields =D And exactly how many bathrooms do J&R need.

    I'm thinking. From recent past history, last year, the kids had a Spring break in March and went to Cabo with J&R for five days. Then, the nice long vacation with the kids, this summer in London and Paris. When Ryan went to Australia with Abbie, the kids stayed with
    R&J, around the Xmas holidays.

    So I'm just figuring the kids would probably spend Spring break with their dad, and maybe have a nice vacation with him this year.

    I'll be really surprised if they take the kids to Egypt. The sight-seeing is a bit more challenging for little kids in Egypt,then in London or Paris. But you never know...plus, these parents seem like they'd not want the kids to miss school, unless it's really necessary.

    But the trip does sound kind of honeymoon-ish...

    The german "report" is very strange. I did not know this side, but they don´t have any exclusve news only second hand, hear-say and rumours. But it is fun to read - especially some of the comments. Unfortunatly some people do not know Jake but I hope this will change after PoP is out.

    Extra, I saw those reports about Reese and RDJ, some more infos from Slashfilm
    The days before

    That would be a great opportunity for Reese - if this one and the Brooks film will be realised, she has two excellent projects ahead.

    Next sunday the Oscar night will be shown on one of our TV channels live. Every year they are showing a special film before the show starts. This year their film will be "Brokeback Mountain". It is the first time it will be shown on our free TV. Today I saw a first advertisement - it will be in german and the film ill be interupted with ads but I hope they won´t cut any scenes. (Like they did in Italy)
    My TV magazine has recommend the film and calls it a masterpiece.

    "After watching Sam Mendes's film, Jarhead, Bono decided the song should evoke the thoughts of a soldier dying from a roadside bomb in Afghanistan"

    I'm really getting concerned about Brothers, so far we are getting all these dates for the movie openings overseas, but no firm date here and nothing solid on Nailed.

    I'm wondering about that trip to Egypt as well.

    It looks like Reese may get a chance to star in that action flick!

    A little more news on Reese's next project (from the LA Times):

    Rudd, Wilson in talks for Brooks film
    Duo may costar with Witherspoon in comedy

    By TATIANA SIEGEL

    Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd are in talks to star opposite Reese Witherspoon in James L. Brooks' untitled romantic comedy for Columbia Pictures.

    Brooks, who is directing and producing, wrote the screenplay, which involves a love triangle. Rudd would play a white-collar executive vying for Witherspoon's affections, while Wilson would portray a professional baseball pitcher who is also a love interest.

    As is customary with Brooks' projects, logline is being kept vague for the film, which has the working title "How Do You Know?"

    Paula Weinstein ("Blood Diamond") and Laurence Mark ("Dreamgirls") are also producing.

    Studio is eyeing an early summer start date.

    Thanks suvee, I saw that earlier. It looks like the Brooks film is coming together.Yes it's another rom-com but it's directed by James Brooks. Sounds like they are looking at a summer filming schedule. The sci-fi film with RDJ sounds intriguing, I hope that pans out. I just wish we could get a definate date for Jake's movies: Brothers and Nailed.

    Hey! Paul Rudd is one of the voices in Monsters vs Aliens and starred with Reese 10 years ago in Overnight Delivery!

    Yes anon. this is yet another rom-com but I hope that with Brooks directing that it will be better than the usual run of the mill rom-com.

    The sci-fi film is definately a new genre for Reese though, I hope this gets made, Robert is really busy so it may not happen until next year.

    OK has the story, so you don't have to give that horrid site any more hits:

    Jake Gyllenhaal Shops For Bling...

    Late last week, Jake Gyllenhaal spent four hours at Fred Leighton, his favorite NYC jewelry shop, and, well, you get a feeling he wasn’t there to get his watch fixed!

    Was it a Valentine’s Day buy for Reese Witherspoon, his girlfriend of a year and a half? An early birthday present? (Reese turns 33 on March 22.) Or is he about to get legal with the Legally Blonde star?

    “Jake spent most of his time in the room where they keep the rings,” a source tells OK!. “He looked really serious and was taking his time.”

    Jake, 28, has been with Reese since she split from now ex-husband Ryan Phillippe in October 2007. “Everyone needs love,” she told OK!. “Everyone deserves it.” ...

    I was still thinking about that supposed trip to Egypt. If they do go (I don't think they are there now) but maybe later on like spring break so they can take the kids. If it was booked through a UK agency then it's possible the plans were made while he was still filming POP in the UK.

    Reese is a voting member of AMPAS, and a past Oscar winner. She might be presenting. She didn't present last year. I doubt she'd leave town right now for more then three or four days.

    Jake is probably keeping a low profile. This might be a sensitive time for him, because of Heath. I think he misses his friend.
