NY POST...PAGE 6
May 1, 2006 -- "X-MEN: The Last Stand" director Brett Ratner never
bothered to tell his "friend" Lindsay Lohan that he had a girlfriend -
resulting in a loud, messy fight between the young star and Romanian
IMG model Alina Puscau at Ratner's home last week.
Late Monday night, Lohan - who has become close friends with the
director in the past month - and a pal decided to pop in on Ratner
unannounced.
"Brett wasn't returning any of her calls, so she decided to stop by and
say hi," a source told Page Six.
"Brett never told Lindsay he had a girlfriend. She had no idea," the
source said. "He is constantly e-mailing, texting and calling her. She
just wanted to hang out. He had given her the code to his house and
told her to come over anytime, so she went."
But once at the house, Lohan was shocked when she found Ratner in bed
with his girlfriend, Puscau.
"Alina jumped out of bed and went ballistic," another source said.
"They started screaming at each other and took the fight first into the
living room and then out to the driveway while Brett hid in the
bedroom.
"Lindsay said she could get Alina deported and left. What she doesn't
know is that Alina and Brett are so serious, he gave her a big diamond
promise ring last November which she wears on her right hand. She
doesn't care that he may cheat. She's got the big diamond ring."
The source added: "Brett is a 37-year-old man, and Lindsay is a
19-year-old girl. Enough! He needs to stop bothering her, it's
embarrassing. Lindsay is happily dating [Keira Knightley's ex] Jamie
Dornan - she just wanted to be friends with Brett."
Lohan and Ratner patched things up enough for Lohan to return to the
scene of the fight Tuesday night for a Victoria's Secret party he was
hosting at his home.
"Lindsay has a long relationship with Victoria's Secret," one source
sniffed. "Of course she was going to support them." No word on whether
Puscau attended the party as well, but Kate Bosworth, Matthew Perry,
Owen Wilson, Chris Tucker, John Mayer and Lance Armstrong did.
Lohan's rep said: "Lindsay is friends with Brett but has romantic
interests elsewhere." Ratner's rep declined to comment.

"X-MEN 3" director Brett Ratner is a re-gifter. Two weeks ago, on his
37th birthday, Ratner received a $900 Hermes blanket from his pal,
jewelry heiress Zeta Graff. What he didn't know was that, as a joke,
Graff had included a photo of herself in a bikini with a note attached
that read, "For when I'm not there to keep you warm." Ratner never saw
the picture, though. Later that evening, Ratner told Graff, he gave the
blanket to Lindsay Lohan - with whom he's been romantically linked,
although both have denied it - during a private tour of his home. Lohan
was said to be "shocked" when she unwrapped the blanket and found
Graff's photo. Later, when Graff e-mailed Ratner to see if he liked the
blanket, he responded: "Lindsay Lohan stole it! I will get it back!"
Graff, who notes she and Ratner are not romantic, confirmed this
version of events to Page Six, and added, in an e-mail, "I guess now I
know that [Ratner] is also eco-friendly and he recycles!"

Well, her attitude answered her own question. She obviously wanted
nothing more than attention from someone more successful than she
(which is really saying something). Ignoring her only deprived her of
of the confrontation, so she had the hissyfit all by herself.

Lindsay Lohan became enraged when she sent over a round of drinks to
Jessica Simpson and director Brett Ratner (what's up with that) - who
were sitting at a nearby table - and neither bothered to thank her.
Relays a source, "Lindsay said, 'What's the matter? When your
sister is around, you can talk s-t about me, but now that Ashlee's
not here, what are you going to do? C'mon! I'm 19 and you're 25.
Say something, you coward!" Or maybe she was just jealous of Jessica
spending time with Brett.According to a close personal friend of Carmen
Electra, she and her husband Dave Navarro, "They have completely
bypassed the separation process and headed straight to divorce".
Another one bites the dust! Somehow I don't think either of them will
be single for long.

Meanwhile that same night, further uptown at G-Spa in the Gansevoort
Hotel, Lindsay Lohan's mom-ager, Dina, flexed her perceived power in
the powder room.
A partier was waiting in the ladies' room for 15 minutes to use the
only working stall when she noticed there were two women in it. When
she asked them to hurry up, Dina Lohan opened the door and asked for
the woman's name, our source says.
When the woman asked why her name was relevant, Dina went on a tirade
about how everything was relevant and that she could fire anyone she
saw fit. She then threatened to fire the bathroom attendant for not
stopping the disruption.
A few minutes later, Dina must have reconsidered, as she gave the
attendant a wad of cash and said, "Lindsay Lohan is my daughter. I'll
be at P.M. next week if you want to come by and say hello." A rep for
Dina disputed the story and said she did not threaten to fire anyone.
The night before, Lindsay was spotted smooching with "Rush Hour"
director Brett Ratner at the Dime in Los Angeles.
Lindsay and Ratner, who has been dating Brazilian model Alina Puscau,
were holding hands and kissing, our spy tattles.
Back in New York, however, Lindsay was seen huddling with Keira
Knightly's ex-boyfriend, model Jamie Dornan, at a Calvin
Klein-sponsored dinner in honor of Kate Moss' new ad campaign.
Other guests who turned out at new East Village eatery The E.U.
included Mario Sorrenti, Francisco Costa, Gemma Ward, Rachel Zoe and
Michelle Trachtenberg.

Superman returns (he was in Sydney)
By Garry Maddox and AP
March 24, 2006
Into those famous tights . Brandon Routh.
Photo: AP
WHEN he was walking the streets of Sydney last year, Brandon Routh was
virtually anonymous. But that's about to change as Hollywood sells him as
the new Superman.
The 26-year-old stars in Superman Returns, shot largely at Fox Studios by
X-Men director Bryan Singer and heading for cinemas in June. His
better-known co-stars include Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, Kate Bosworth as
Lois Lane, Eva Marie Saint as Martha Kent and, using archival footage,
Marlon Brando as Superman's father on the doomed planet Krypton.
Until now the scale of the movie has been the focus of attention, with
Singer saying late last year that the budget was approaching $US250 million
($348 million). During its low-key production, starting with scenes from the
Man of Steel's childhood home being shot near Gunnedah, it is estimated to
have contributed more than $100 million to the NSW economy.
But, as the hype builds, Warner Bros has shown a few minutes of the movie
and Routh has accepted an award as male star of tomorrow at the cinema
owners' convention ShoWest in Las Vegas.
Taking over from the late Christopher Reeve, who was also unknown when he
was cast in 1978, Routh is gearing up for the inevitable attention that
comes with such a famous role.
"If I really sat down and thought about all the possible implications, the
good, amazing things it could mean, you could go a little crazy," he said at
ShoWest. "Because it's not only a film, it's an icon for many different
things. Stability, strength and inspiration, all these things, as well as
being the matinee icon. So every day it sinks in more and more, and I try
not to get ahead of myself and just move with the flow of things."
After director Brett Ratner talked about his plans while promoting Red
Dragon in Sydney in 2002, the movie became a revolving door for filmmakers,
writers and actors until it started production. Ratner left after struggling
to cast the main role and was replaced by McG, who directed the Charlie's
Angels movies. But he quit when Warner Bros pushed for the movie to be shot
in Australia for financial reasons. Having auditioned Routh, McG wanted to
re-create the comic-book hero's home city in New York.
When Singer took over the project, his twist on the story was that the Man
of Steel would come back to Earth after an absence of several years, finding
Lois Lane has moved on with her romantic life and Lex Luthor was stumbling
onto dangerous secrets about Superman's origins.
"It's nice to watch the character mature, rather than just to start over
again," Routh said. "He gets to continue his journey, which is exciting, I
think, for fans, instead of retelling again what we've seen in many
different versions.
"We really get to see what's next and watch him evolve as a human, well, as
an alien, but on Earth, like we evolve. We get to watch Superman evolve and
learn about relationships and love."
Singer has described the new instalment as "first and foremost a love
story".
Raised in Iowa - about 160 kilometres from where George Reeves, the star of
the 1950s television show Adventures of Superman, grew up - Routh was in
school plays but had no plans for an acting career. Aiming to be a writer,
he spent a year at the University of Iowa, modelling and acting to pay for
college. But those side gigs led him to New York City and later Hollywood
for a recurring role in the soap opera One Life to Live and guest spots on
Will & Grace and The Gilmore Girls.
Shortly before becoming Superman, he was working as a bartender to make ends
meet.
While not a sequel, Singer said the movie follows in the spirit and draws on
design elements from the earlier Superman movies. To that end, it will not
hurt that Routh resembles Reeve.
"Bryan says in some scenes, I'm the spitting image of Chris," Routh said.
"Even my intonations of a line. But other times, it's completely different.
It comes and goes, which is pretty exciting to me, to think of Chris and all
the other Supermans in the past, that now there are things I'm adding to
it."

Best flicks for 2006
By LOUIS B. HOBSON -- Calgary Sun
A look at movies in '06
Enough already with the griping. It's official. Movie attendance in 2005 was
the worst in almost a decade.
Some film analysts blame the slump on the DVD industry.
A poll conducted by Ipso for The Associated Press and AOL News in July
revealed 73% of adults say they prefer watching movies at home on DVD,
videotape or pay-per-view.
Even more disheartening for the studios is the finding that 47% surveyed in
the poll feel movies are getting worse and therefore do not warrant
viewing -- especially at today's ticket prices.
Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations, sides with disgruntled
viewers.
"The 2005 slump in movie attendance is product-driven which, to me, is a
much less chilling problem than some sort of cultural shift in people's
moviegoing habits. People will make the effort to see a good film."
George Lucas, who produced and directed this year's top box-office movie
Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith, agrees wholeheartedly with
Dergarabedian.
Lucas insists "going to the movies is a social event, like going to a
football game, like going to the ballet, like going to a play.
"Attending movies is something you do to be social with other people. I
don't think that's ever going to go away."
In order to drag people away from their TVs, filmmakers are obliged to
improve both the quality and the accessibility of their films.
With this in mind, here's a glimpse of 20 of the more than 500 films slated
for release in 2006. The most that can be said for any of them at this point
is, on paper, they're among the most interesting of the offerings. Some
release dates are tentative:
TRISTAN & ISOLDE (Fox/Jan. 13):
Before Romeo and Juliet, there were the tragic star-crossed lovers Tristan
and Isolde. Tristan (James Franco) was a young knight who fell in love with
the married future queen of England (Sophia Myles.) It promises to be a big,
lush, romantic drama.
THE PINK PANTHER (Sony/Feb. 10):
Steve Martin steps into the giant-sized shoes of Peter Sellers to play
bumbling French detective Inspector Jacques Clouseau. It's being billed as a
prequel to Seller's 1964 classic, with Clouseau having to solve the
mysterious death of a soccer coach and discover who stole the famous Pink
Panther diamond. The entertainment world will be watching to see if Martin
can pull this one off.
EIGHT BELOW (Disney/Feb. 17):
No one does fact-based animal stories better than Disney and here comes one
about eight husky sled dogs marooned during an Antarctic winter. This one
looks enough like the Disney classic The Incredible Journey to make it a
hit.
BASIC INSTINCT 2: RISK ADDICTION (Sony/March 31):
Sharon Stone's ice pick wielding seductress is back and this time it's David
Morrissey's psychiatrist who gets lured into her dangerous sex games. Call
it pure guilty pleasure, but the thought of Stone back to her old tricks is
likely enough of a hook to get people into multiplexes.
ICE AGE 2: THE MELTDOWN (Fox/March 31):
Scrat and his acorn are back to wreak more havoc. In tow are Manfred the
laconic Wooly Mammoth, Sid the motor-mouthed sloth and the villainous Diego,
the Sabre-toothed tiger. If this one is half as delightful as it
predecessor, it deserves to be a hit.
mission IMPOSSIBLE III
(Paramount/May 5):
Fresh from saving the world from Martians in last year's War of the Worlds,
Tom Cruise prepares to tackle international terrorists as rogue agent Ethan
Hunt. The release is timed to coincide with the birth of Cruise's first
biological child, so he should grab every magazine cover in the world for
this one.
THE DA VINCI CODE (Sony/May 19):
Many readers confused Dan Brown's fiction bestseller for fact, something Ron
Howard insists he won't do in the film. Tom Hanks stumbles upon a secret
sect whose belief Christ fathered children could shake the foundations of
Christianity. Controversy plus eager fans should make this one a hot ticket.
X-MEN 3 (Fox/May 26):
The mutants are back, but this time around there is a possible cure to treat
them. Brett Ratner is directing instead of Bryan Singer, but the good news
is Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Rebecca Romijn, Patrick Stewart and Ian
McKellen are all back, joined by Kelsey Grammer and Shohreh Aghdashloo. We
can only hope lightning strikes three times, let alone twice.
THE BREAK UP (Universal/June 2):
With Wedding Crashers, Vince Vaughn had one of the biggest grossing films of
2005, so expectations run high for this romantic comedy. It also helps that
Vaughn and costar Jennifer Aniston started an off-screen relationship while
filming this one in Chicago. We'll all be watching to see if they can create
as many sparks as Aniston's ex, Brad Pitt, did with Angelina Jolie in Mr. &
Mrs. Smith.
THE OMEN 666 (Fox/June 6):
This is a remake of the 1976 horror classic that spawned three sequels. Liev
Schreiber and Julia Styles play the American couple who discover the child
they adopted might just be the devil's spawn. In a brilliant piece of stunt
casting, Mia Farrow, who played the mother of Satan's child in Rosemary's
Baby, plays the nanny who knows the child's real origins.
CARS (Disney/June 9):
The creative geniuses at Pixar who turned talking toys, retired superheroes
and monsters into box-office superstars, are at it again. This time they
invest cars and all their cousins with humanity as well as voices.
SUPERMAN RETURNS (Warners/June 30):
The Man of Steel, now played by newcomer Brandon Routh, has been hanging out
on the planet Krypton. When his arch enemy Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) starts
causing havoc, Superman returns to Earth to battle evil and court the lovely
Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth). Warners is hoping this is the beginning of a new
Superman franchise.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD'S MAN'S CHEST
(Disney/July 7):
Those nasty sea phantoms insist Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) owes them his
soul, so Jack has to find a way to win it back or spend eternity haunting
the seas. Back in 2003, the original Pirates of the Caribbean filled
Disney's treasure troves with $654 million, turned Depp into a box-office
superstar and won him an Oscar nomination.
LADY IN THE WATER (Warners/July 21):
M. Night Shyamalan scored with thrillers like The Sixth Sense and Signs, but
found audiences and critics slipping away with The Village. His newest
supernatural thriller has humans teaming up with a water nymph to save all
their lives and souls from demons intent on destruction.
MIAMI VICE (Universal/July 28):
Last year's crop of big-screen versions of vintage TV shows were major
critical and box-office disappointments, but this one is actually promising.
Michael Mann, who created the original TV series, wrote and directed this
film with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx as renegade vice detectives Crockett
and Tubbs. Mann has set the story in modern-day Miami.
MARIE ANTOINETTE (Sony/Oct. 13):
Sofia Coppola wrote and directed this costume drama that stars Kirsten Dunst
as the Austrian princess who became Queen of France when she was just a
teenager. Jason Schwartzman plays her indifferent husband, Louis XVI, with
Rip Torn, Judy Davis and Marianne Faithful filling out the supporting cast.
Coppola scored a major triumph with Lost in Translation.
FLUSHED AWAY (Paramount/Nov. 3):
The folks at Aardman Animations, who brought us 2000's Chicken Run and last
year's Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, bring us this tale
of a society rat (Hugh Jackman) who gets flushed down the toilet of his
upscale apartment and falls in love with an adventurous beauty (Kate
Winslet). It looks like a cross between Romeo & Juliet and Pirates of The
Caribbean.
CASINO ROYALE (Sony/Nov. 17):
Daniel Craig takes over as James Bond, with Martin Campbell directing. Bond
matches wits and gadgets with Monsieur Le Chiffre, a French gangster who
uses the profits from his casino to fund terrorists. Considering the film
hasn't been fully cast and cameras have yet to start rolling, this one could
find itself bumped to 2007.
CHARLOTTE'S WEB (Paramount/Dec. 20):
This children's classic about a spider who saves the life of a pig will
combine live action with animation. Dakota Fanning plays Fern, who helps
Charlotte the spider (voice from Julia Roberts) spin a tale of friendship
and sacrifice. Though it's no Harry Potter or Chronicles of Narnia,
Charlotte's Web has a huge fan base among youngsters and their parents.
DREAMGIRLS (Paramount/Dec. 22):
The box-office and critical success of Chicago and Moulin Rouge has
producers eying Broadway for more stage musicals to turn into movies. This
one, loosely based on the career of The Supremes, will star Beyonce Knowles,
Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Mos Def and Danny Glover.
Considering the poor response for Phantom of the Opera, Rent and The
Producers, this one could be a hard sell even with such a stellar cast.
THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES
(Warners/Fall):
Warners has yet to announce a release date for this western filmed in
Alberta last summer, but it is likely to be a fall release, setting it up
for the kind of attention Brokeback Mountain has been receiving. This one
stars Brad Pitt as the famous outlaw and Casey Affleck as the friend who
turned assassin and killed him.

Cruise - "Coldest" in Hollywood Poll
Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and his pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes'>Katie Holmes have
topped a magazine list of coldest and least powerful stars in Hollywood.
Website FilmThreat.com placed Cruise in the number one spot of their Frigid
50: The Coldest People In Hollywood 2005, because of the media storm
surrounding his relationship with Holmes and his public speeches concerning
his Scientology religion. The website states, "Steven Spielberg's latest
summer blockbuster (War Of The Worlds) was overshadowed by Tom's publicly
flaunted love life with Katie Holmes'>Katie Holmes and his Scientologist fuelled rantings
and ravings that eventually led to a public war of words with Brooke Shields
when he slammed the actress on Access Hollywood for her use of Paxil and
psychiatric therapy to battle post-partum depression." Holmes followed close
behind at number two, due to her "lackluster performance as Rachel Dawes in
Batman Begins." Rush Hour director Brett Ratner is at number three, because
of his fondness of referring to himself in the third person, while troubled
Black Hawn Down actor Tom Sizemore makes four, following a string of legal
troubles in recent years and a sex tape role. Rounding off the top five is
Jennifer Lopez, who "proved she has no gift for comedy with Monster-in-Law",
according to FilmThreat.com.

Thank you! You couldn't have put it better and that's exactly how I felt
watching Rush Hour - especially the ill conceived sequel.
And this is coming from someone who used to like Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker. I thought his
character in "Friday" was super funny and kind of cute.
He wasn't brilliant but not a complete abomination in Rush Hour 1...though
he was definately annoying. Rush Hour 2 was just sooo awful...and Chris was
what a big part of what was making it wack.
As for Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker getting 20 million? Someone in Hollywood must be insane!
Or stuck in 1998! What other movies has Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker'>Chris Tucker done besides "Money
Talks" opposite a just-outta-rehab Charlie Sheen?

Tucker must have a really good agent. And Jackie is worth more than that. I
can't believe he's getting paid less than Chris. There must be some mistake.

Chris Tucker was my least favorite part of the movie. His character was
straight out of 1976 television -- non-stop stereotypes.

Why would Chris Tucker get paid this much? He's not the box office draw
Chan is and he's certainly not a great actor.

Serena Williams Dumps Ratner after party with P Diddy
August 12, 2005, 6:36:42
SERENA WILLIAMS' romance with BRETT RATNER has come to an abrupt end after
the director spent a week partying in New York with SEAN 'P DIDDY' COMBS,
JAY-Z and JERMAINE DUPRI.
The pair had been enjoying a low-key relationship for quite some time, but
tennis ace Williams became increasingly frustrated with Ratner always being
away from her.
So after meeting up with Ratner at April's (05) Delray Beach, Florida,
FedCup tennis match between her sister VENUS and German player ELS CALLENS,
Williams enquired what he'd been doing in the Big Apple for a week,
prompting the answer, "I was hanging out with Puffy, Jay-Z and JD - Jermaine
Dupri... Give me some love. Show me that you care.".
After becoming agitated with the film-maker's constant attempts at getting
affection, Williams blasted, "I've been home for three weeks and I've asked
you nicely and kindly not to come for (just) 24 hours. You come on Saturday
and you leave on Sunday and I'm sorry but that's just not good enough for
me. I'm very sorry...
"I don't wanna be (your girlfriend). I wanna see other people... We don't
have a relationship. It's too bad things didn't work out between us.".
Acknowledging the presence of cameras - shooting footage for the Williams
sisters' new reality show VENUS & SERENA: FOR REAL - Ratner asked, "Is this
the break-up episode?".
His attempts to kiss her again for a "NICK (LACHEY) and JESSICA (SIMPSON)
moment" were blocked by Williams, who had at least one happy memory from
that afternoon - her sister won the match.

Oh give me a break. This mutant will pass by in the background and only
be noticed by keen comicbook fans. And the inclusion of this character
was originally Matthew Vaughn's idea.
I just love how as soon as Brett Ratner'>Brett Ratner signed on everyone jumped on
the X3-will-suck bandwagon. A guy that's made a few fun, succesful
movies in different genres, and manages to make a Jessica Simpson video
watchable? I, for one, think he'll do just fine.
