Morgan Freeman has friends in high places.
Celeb pals Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck'>Ben Affleck and Laurence Fishburne have donated sleek,
custom-made motorcycles to an online charity auction to benefit a planned
memorial in Washington for the Reverend Martin Luther King jnr.
"People are always quoting [King]," Freeman said on Monday.
"He's remembered as our prince of peace, of civil rights. We owe him
something major that will keep him and his memory alive."
The four bikes - two from Affleck and one each from Pitt and Fishburne - are
up for bid on the Charity Folks website until Friday, Freeman said.
Freeman, who won an Oscar for his role in Million Dollar Baby, said he hoped
"people will overbid" for a good cause.
Other celebrity items are being offered in the auction, including
wedge-heeled shoes designed and signed by Jennifer Lopez and a DVD of Catch
Me if You Can signed by actor Tom Hanks.
The memorial will be built on the National Mall, according to the website
for Build the Dream, which is promoting the project. The centrepiece of the
memorial, the "Stone of Hope", will feature a nine-metre likeness of King.
Its location will create a visual "line of leadership" from the Lincoln
Memorial, where King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, to the
Jefferson Memorial, the website says.
Groundbreaking is scheduled this year, with the goal of dedicating the site
in 2008.

Gay-Themed Films Riding Brokeback Coattails
By Reuters| Tuesday, March 07, 2006
NEW YORK - (Hollywood Reporter) - Brokeback Mountain might not have
earned the best picture Academy Award, but with three Oscars to its name,
including Ang Lee's win as best director, the gay-cowboy romance may have
more impact on Hollywood than any other of this year's nominees.
Having already earned $127 million worldwide, the Focus Features release is
expected to pave the way for more gay-themed films, and in its wake, other
projects about gay characters that have long languished in development are
suddenly looking more viable.
Brokeback tells people who are risk-phobic that you can get good actors to
appear in your film and you can make money," said novelist Peter Lefcourt,
who is attempting to revive one such gay project. "If they're convinced of
that, they'll finance the movie."
Patricia Neil Warren's 1974 novel The Front Runner, about a track coach's
affair with a team member, is one of the longest-gestating gay-themed
projects in Hollywood. Although the novel has sold more than 10 million
copies, the film version has had a tortured history ever since Paul Newman
optioned it for a year in 1975. Since then, a series of producers held the
rights, which returned to Warren three years ago.
"People in the industry look at gay-themed films as low budget, but the
problem with The Front Runner is it's set at the Olympic games," said
Warren, who's been offered budgets of $2 million or less for the project.
"That would reduce the story to one little college track meet and the love
scene," she said, while looking for a Brokeback-size $13 million-$15 million
budget. But now, she's getting the most interest she's seen in more than 32
years, she said. "As the box office figures (for Brokeback) grow, we get
more calls," she said.
Two other projects in the development stage for about 15 years are the
biopic of slain San Francisco Mayor Harvey Milk, The Mayor of Castro Street,
and an adaptation of Lefcourt's 1992 novel The Dreyfus Affair: A Love Story,
a satirical look at two baseball players who fall for each other.
Mayor has been shepherded by producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, who at
one point had gotten director Oliver Stone to commit and set it up at Warner
Bros. Pictures, with Robin Williams attached to star. "Then Oliver got
attacked by gay groups over his portrayal of gay characters in JFK and said,
'I just can't go into another project and go through that again,"' Zadan
said.
Williams soon left, too, and the project bounced from such directors as Gus
Van Sant to a host of screenwriters. "We were never really able to crack the
, and we finally realized it was more important not to make the movie
if it wasn't right," Meron said.
Helmer Bryan Singer ame onto the project last year. According to Zadan,
Singer's now interviewing "very high level" screenwriters and should have
one on board within a month. Although Singer joined the project before
Brokeback came to life, "You feel there's a new energy around movies of
this ilk."
Lefcourt had a similarly rocky road with his best-seller. Two producers at
the Walt Disney Co. picked it up almost immediately after its publication.
It was dropped, then picked up again at Disney, where, Lefcourt suspects,
its chances were hurt because Disney owned the California Angels "and the
story turns Major League Baseball into a villain." Reps from Jodie Foster
and Barbra Streisand's production companies expressed interest before
director Betty Thomas got 20th Century Fox to option it. But Fox eventually
let it go, and Thomas took the project to New Line Cinema, where, according
to Lefcourt, Ben Affleck was set to star before deciding to make Pearl
Harbor instead.
The project remained quiet until a few months ago, when producer Andrew Lang
picked up the option, with Lefcourt now writing a new . "From
conversations we've had, there's no apprehension from studios or agencies,"
Lang said. "The success of Brokeback has opened a lot of doors. People are
realizing gay themes aren't as much of an issue as they once thought."
On the horizon, Meron and Zadan also are producing out baseball player Billy
Bean's autobiography Going All the Way with Alan Ball, the Oscar-winning
writer of American Beauty.
The project was set up at Showtime but dropped as the pay network focused
more on series development. The producers are now in active negotiations
with another cable network, talking with stars and directors, and anticipate
filming this year.
More mainstream projects with gay and lesbian themes are coming soon, from
the spring's Miramax Films cross-dressing comedy Kinky Boots to Universal
Pictures' Adam Sandler- Kevin James comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and
Larry, about a pair of straight firefighters who pose as domestic partners
to get health benefits, set for production in August.
With Brokeback at the heart of this year's awards race -- the movie's
infamous pup tent even served as a setup for the opening joke of Sunday's
Oscar broadcast -- Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation spokesman Damon
Romine said of the movie's impact, "We're visible in a way we've never been
before. Even if you haven't seen Brokeback, the conversation has begun. It's
gotten people to debate, and at the end of the day, it's changing hearts and
minds."

They hide in bushes? Gee. Makes you wonder what would happen
if the liberal anti-gun halfwits realize they can do target practice
on their own properties. "Oops, I didn't know he was in the bush
there". Bet you a lot of them turn and join the NRA...

I totally support this. One of the reasons I participate in this
newsgroup is so I can enjoy the snarky gossip without abetting these
leeches. I don't need to see these photos.

New California law hits paparazzi in the pocketbook
By SANDY COHEN
LOS ANGELES (AP) - They lurk in bushes, camp out in cars and hover in
helicopters. Some are brazen enough to openly brandish their cameras, like
old western gunslingers.
They may be hated, but their work - candid pictures of celebs in unguarded
moments - is coveted. They are the paparazzi, purveyors of pix that are the
lifeblood of the weekly star-tracking mags and tabs. Their photos demand
huge sums of money and are circulated worldwide. And as the public hunger
for such glossy grist has grown they've become ever more relentless and
ruthless. But starting Jan. 1, there'll be some new reins on the paparazzi
parade.
That's when a California law goes into effect that increases penalties
against overly aggressive photographers - dubbed "stalkerazzi" - who
forcefully thrust their cameras into famous faces or crash their car into a
celebrity's vehicle. They will now be liable for three times the damages
they inflict; plus they'll lose any payments their published photos might
earn. Publishers can also be held liable.
"Now the paparazzi are going to have to think twice about chasing down a
celebrity anywhere in California," said Assemblywoman Cindy Montanez, who
drafted the bill, which was signed into law in October by Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger. (The former actor had an infamous paparazzi moment in 1998
when they used their cars to surround his SUV as he and wife Maria Shriver
picked up their child from school.)
The new law was inspired by a rash of recent celebrity car chases, Montanez
said. In May, a photographer following Lindsay Lohan crashed into the
actress's car in West Los Angeles. The photographer was booked for assault
with a deadly weapon, but prosecutors found insufficient evidence to press
charges.
In August, actress Scarlett Johansson was involved in a minor car crash in a
Disneyland parking lot after being followed by paparazzi, and actress Reese
Witherspoon said photographers tried to run her car off the road in April.
No criminal charges resulted from those incidents, but the Los Angeles
district attorney's office continues to investigate paparazzi photographers'
aggressive tactics, said spokeswoman Jane Robison.
Montanez said the new legislation "targets those who break the law in their
attempt to get the photograph."
While some celebrity shooters think the new law is needed to curb
increasingly aggressive behaviour, others call it unfair and unnecessary.
And it may even be unconstitutional.
Though the legislation is aimed at paparazzi photographers, it could have "a
chilling effect" on newspapers and other media, said Jim Ewert, legal
counsel for the California Newspaper Publishers Association.
"This law now gives (celebrities) the ability to quash a photograph, and
potentially a story (resulting from the photograph), with a frivolous
lawsuit in an attempt to keep the public from being informed," he said. "The
constitution demands a little bit higher standard before the government puts
the kibosh on a newspaper's ability to publish that story."
Montanez insists the law was "specifically crafted in a way so there is no
infringement on the rights of journalists."
"This is about paparazzi who wait and hunt the celebrities, their prey,
until they catch the celebrity in a state of compromise," she said. "They
engage in assaultive behaviour, and we can't condone that."
Longtime celebrity photographer Frank Griffin, co-owner of the Bauer-Griffin
photo agency - which bills itself as "the Hollywood Hunt Club" - said
existing laws already cover attempted assaults and that the new legislation
unfairly targets celebrity photographers.
"Why should there be different standards for a hard-news photographer and a
celebrity photographer?" he asked.
With the proliferation of photo-filled, celebrity-centred magazines, more
paparazzi have emerged to fill the pages with images of the rich and famous.
The more exclusive the photo, the bigger the paycheque, said former
celebrity photographer Brad Elterman.
Shots of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner with their new baby, for example,
could be worth $500,000 US, he said. Even less-exclusive pics of hot stars
can sell for $10,000 or more.
"The business is driven by money," Elterman said. "The guys who take the
pictures don't care how they get the photo because they have nothing to
lose."
Jim Ruymen, a Los Angeles photographer for 30 years who worked as "a
photojournalist by day and a paparazzo at night," said paparazzi photography
has always been intrusive, but increasing competition has led to more
in-your-face tactics. There might be "15 to 20 cars outside someone's house,
waiting for them to leave so you can chase them down," he said.
"Part of the paparazzi act is you really have to have no conscience. You've
got to rein these guys in, so we don't have a Diana here in Southern
California," he said, referring to the princess who was killed in a Paris
car crash in 1997 as paparazzi pursued her vehicle. Investigators later
found that the driver of Diana's car was intoxicated and speeding.
Celebrities are likely to appreciate the new legislation, though none of
their publicists returned calls for comment here.
George Clooney, an outspoken defender of the first amendment yet a critic of
overzealous photographers, has said that being photographed is the price one
pays for celebrity, but some tabloids take things too far.
"If you say to someone, 'I'll give you $400,000 for the first picture of
Madonna's baby,' there are lots of people who are willing to break the law
to do that," Clooney told CNN in 2003.
The new legislation amends a bill passed in 1998 that established the
concept of "constructive trespass" for photojournalists. It said that using
a long lens to capture an image of a person who had "a reasonable
expectation of privacy" was tantamount to trespassing.
Ewert, counsel for the California Newspaper Publishers Association,
questioned the constitutionality of that law, but it has not been challenged
in court, he said. Laws are presumed valid until challenged.
The new legislation, which expands what constitutes invasion of privacy, "is
probably even more unconstitutional, if that's possible," Ewert said.
"We don't apologize for the behaviour of the paparazzi," he said. "But this
law attempts to stop that conduct with a very broad brush."

Lopez Lights Up
Jennifer Lopez's claim to live a clean-cut lifestyle has been called into
question after she was recently photographed smoking a cigarette.
The singer-turned-actress has spoken about her decision to turn her back on
unhealthy vices in a number of interviews.
She has said. "I don't smoke or drink. When I was little, my mother drummed
it into me how bad it is for you, and it stuck somehow ...
"I envy people who have releases. They just have a drink or a cigarette and
they feel better."
But Lopez appears to have nobody to envy anymore -- on December 6, after
shooting scenes for her movie "El Cantante" in a New York City graveyard,
she was snapped puffing away.
The famous anti-smoker, who forced ex-fiancee Ben Affleck to give up his bad
habit, seemed to be sneaking a cigarette when she was caught on camera by
eagle-eyed fans, who have sold pictures of the puffing diva to America's top
tabloids.
But Lopez's publicists insist Lopez hasn't started smoking -- she's just
getting used to the herbal cigarettes her character has to smoke in the
biopic of Hector Lavoe, which also stars her husband Marc Anthony.
A spokesman for Lopez insists, "It's not a real cigarette; it's a prop."
