Audrina in Blue: Trade Roughage 05/12/08
A HILLS star replaces Jessica Alba, Abe Lincoln replaces Abbie Hoffman, and nothing can replace IRON MAN.
It’s barely 9am, and I’ve already read a story that made me choke on a bagel and therefore fear for my life: Audrina Partidge, brunette scenery on The Hills, has become the first member of the reality drama’s cast to land a film acting role. She’ll play “a no-nonsense, beautiful beach babe whose boyfriend caters to her every command” in a sequel to Into the Blue, a Jessica Alba film that flopped at the box office but made gobs of money on DVD.- Iron Man dropped almost 50% in its second weekend, which was still good enough for $50.5 million at the box office––more than the weekend’s two big openers, Speed Racer and What Happens in Vegas were able to scrounge up combined. We’ll have more on Speed’s crash later today.
- Steven Spielberg will put his long-in-the-works Borat-as-Abbie Hoffman movie on hold temporarily to tackle his long-in-the-works Liam Neeson-as-Abraham Lincoln movie. Personally, I’d like to see the two movies combined.

Yes. I know.
THOUGHTS?
I don’t regret writing the piece that was excerpted; I certainly meant it at the time, and I stand by my right as a blogger to publish subjective accounts of events. I was a bit surprised to see it excerpted––I wasn’t contact or anything in advance––and a bit annoyed that the part that was excerpted is the part that makes me look like the biggest brat. But alas…
