Sarah Jessica Parker: Single Again?

2008-06-26T08:47:00.000-07:00

Taking Carrie Bradshaw to the big screen proved a shrewd move for Sarah Jessica Parker – the Sex and the City movie's so far raked in more than $300 million – and now she's eyeing the role of another single urban professional.

Sarah Jessica Parker, 43, is in discussions with Warner Bros. about a screen version of novelist Karen Quinn's The Ivy Chronicles, described by the Hollywood Reporter as an up-to-date take about class and the single woman in Manhattan – though unlike Bradshaw, title character Ivy Ames moves out of the Upper East Side after the double whammy of a job loss and a divorce.

She has to withdraw her children from their expensive private school, though they also provide her with a eureka moment: Ames starts a service to help women land their kids in upper-crust kindergartens.

The trade paper likens The Ivy Chronicles to The Devil Wears Prada meets The Nanny Diaries, with a dash of the TV mini-series The Starter Wife thrown in.

Jerry Weintraub, the honcho behind the Ocean's Eleven franchise, is poised to produce.

Imelda Marcos welcomes U.S.

2008-06-13T07:10:00.000-07:00

MANILA - The wife of late Philippine ruler Ferdinand Marcos has praised a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against victims of human rights abuses in the country who had sought $35 million held in an account by the dictator.

"Thank God that once more, truth and justice have prevailed," - "The American justice system works. God bless America " Imelda Marcos said in a statement.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court overturned a ruling by a U.S. appeals court that would have allowed the money held in a U.S. account to be distributed among 10,000 victims of rights abuses during Marcos' 20-year rule.The decision was a victory for the government in Manila, which had argued the dispute should be settled in a Philippine court.

The case involved a New York brokerage account at Merrill Lynch & Co that Marcos set up in 1972 in the name of a suspected dummy corporation with a $2 million deposit.The amount in the account has since grown to over $35 million.

Lawyers for the victims had argued they should get the $35 million as part of a $2 billion judgment in U.S. courts against the Marcos estate over human rights abuses under his rule, which ended in a popular revolt in 1986.

The Marcos family and business cronies were accused of looting up to $10 billion from state coffers but Imelda, renowned for her extravagant shopping trips, has been cleared in most cases against her due to insufficient evidence.Marcos, a key ally to the United States during the Cold War, died in Hawaii in 1989. His widow returned to the Philippines in 1991.

It's been five months since Heath Ledger's shocking death the Academy Award nominated actor was 28. "Pills were found in the vicinity of the bed," police spokesman Paul Browne told CNN. "This is being looked at as a possible overdose, but that is not confirmed yet."

But the young actor was still very much on the minds of his colleagues at Thursday night's Australians in Film 2008 Breakthrough Awards in Beverly Hills.

The emotional highlight of the evening came when Gregor Jordan – who became good friends with Ledger after directing him in 1999's Two Hands – announced the formation of a Heath Ledger scholarship fund to help struggling Australian actors.

While details of the scholarship are still "a little sketchy," Jordan admitted, the plan is to select one young Australian actor each year and give him or her the chance to "crack it" in Hollywood. (The first scholarship is due to be awarded in 2009.)

"It's going to involve a number of benefactors and there's been a lot of interest already," the director explained. His voice cracking with emotion, he added: "I was talking to Michelle Williams, his partner and the mother of his child, today and Michelle has said she would be very proud and happy to be the first benefactor."

At that pronouncement, the crowd erupted in loud applause.

Although Ledger's father, Kim, could not attend, he did ask for a letter to be read aloud. "We know that Heath would be proud of his attachment to this scholarship," wrote the surviving Ledger. "It does what Heath has done personally during the last 10 years ..., supporting Australian actors, singers, directors or writers who seek to supply their talents to the U.S.A."

2008-06-04T06:43:00.000-07:00

Britney Spears has made two guest appearances on CBS’s How I Met Your Mother, and as far as Neil Patrick Harris is concerned, she’s welcome back any time.

“The door is open for her,” Harris said at an Academy screening of the show at McGee’s Bar & Grill in Manhattan. “We would love (guest stars) who get in the show’s world to stick around if they want to … but I don’t know what the writers have planned.”

Spears played Abby, a ditsy receptionist dating Barney (Harris’s character), but interested in Ted (Josh Radner’s character). Based on some foreshadowing in the script, the pop princess may very well return in season four, says Harris.

“I gave her the address to Ted’s apartment at the end of the last episode, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she showed up again,”Harris said.

During a Q&A post-screening, the cast reminisced about Spears’s time on set.

“Carter [Bays, the creator] had a great line at the table read. He introduces all the guest cast. He said, ‘And I hope I pronounce this correctly, ‘Britney Spears,’” Josh Radner told fans at McGee’s, the bar that helped inspire the series.

“There were wristbands that we wore on set, so that people didn’t come on to the set. In her world, people go up in the rafters and take pictures,” Harris said.

“We wanted to give her the freedom in a closed environment to be as free to act, and fail, and succeed as she wanted to because that’s the process of doing this,” he continued. “She was lovely, and those two weeks were actually quite swell for us.”
