Actor Displeases Happening Editor, Avoids Car Bomb While EIC at His Office. He Has Witnesses, Honest, Officer.

Filed under: Other, Talents



Many people in the world, the staff of Happening included, are still saddened by the death of iconic actor David Carradine. Most of us know the circumstances behind the Kill Bill/Days Saga performer’s passing. And apparently so does Ashton Kutcher, who posted the following remark on his Twitter:

Remind me to never asphyxiate myself while masterbating in bangkok. It just confused people.

Why the Peter Frampton did Kutcher write such an insulting thing? Happening EIC Marlowe, behind the HTG initiative to get David Carradine memorial items into the homes of HTG residents, was not pleased when he heard.

“I might have to destroy my Dude, Where’s My Car? DVDs… all five of them. Well, maybe I can keep them for Seann William Scott’s sake. But Kutcher is off my Christmas card list!”

Marlowe was so unhappy that he created a new award to reflect it. But where did he put the award? With more than one place to receive awards, it might take a little while for a lucky citizen to find it.

“Oh, I think it’ll be worth the look,” stated Marlowe. “The person finding it won’t be disappointed.”

I Don’t Drink Coffee Myself, But If I Had to Live Without My Slim Jims, I’d Go Absolutely Nuts. Snap Into It! Oh, Yeah!

Filed under: Talents, Films

Actor Steve Carell has grown so found of coffee that the beverage was not allowed on the set of his latest film, The Craig Feigner Story.

“Steve’s people issued a coffee ban at any area that he may pass through” explained a Four Tops Studio employee. “Steve’s so hooked on the bean that he’s unable to concentrate on his work after he downs five cups or so. His people monitored the set very carefully to make sure that not a drop of coffee could be found anywhere on or near the set. Even the smell would distract Steve.”

Fortunately for fellow actors and crew members, breaks were extended so that they could venture away from the set to get coffee if needed.

“I can’t get going without two or three cups” mentioned a crew member. “Maybe there’s something to what they say about this stuff being addicted. I couldn’t go cold turkey like Steve did.”

The Craig Feigner Story centers on the new owner of a rundown arthouse movie studio. The Four Tops Studio feature will be released on June 19th.

Christina Applegete impressed her producer so much during her work on the film Amateurfall that she’s inked a deal to star in a short mockumentary. Christina is the only female character in the testosterone-filled baseball comedy, playing Jason Lee’s love interest. But TLM Head Goose liked her performance so much that he immediately offered her the title role as Candace Kane in The Kane Files: 10 Digits.

“I’m very excited to be working soon after a project. Usually it takes a while before another role comes along,” Applegate said.

Others signed on to the short are Rosalyn Sanchez, Benjamin Bratt, Kirstie Ally and Lindsay Lohan. It is scheduled for release on August 7.

“We’re hoping to make this a series of short mockumentaries under the Kane Files brand” Goose added.

Meanwhile, Goose has been busy. Pest & Andy Go To Summer Camp has just left theaters, while he has back to back releases in July. Brothers opens July 12 with Bulletproof/Avatar Studios and AmateurBall opens July 19 with Lake Hope Features.

Just Don’t Get Her Knocked Up ON the Island, Tim. POW!

Filed under: Talents, TV Shows

According to recent scuttlebutt around town, Ritchie Steven Presents Horror Hour star Emilie de Ravin is divorcing hubby Josh Janowicz after just three years of marriage.

“Emilie and Josh are filing for divorce,” explained a rep for the actress. “They have recently been living separately and remain friends.”

The couple, each 27 years old, dated for four years before they married in June 2006 in Australia and moved to Los Angeles. They separated just six months after their marriage and have been on-and-off ever since. But it was a recent casting battle that caused the marriage to finally terminate.

“Apparently Emilie is a hot item for television,” the representative continued. “She appeared as a regular cast member on Horror Hour during this last set. Now Czartim really wants her for Snobs. According to people around town, Tim and Emilie have been spending a lot of time together, if you know what I mean. It was too much for Josh to handle.”

Are the rumors of an affair are true? Who will end up with the actress next session? Happening reporters will keep their eyes and ears open for more information.

The world has lost another entertaining individual. By now most of us have seen the stories on the passing of actor David Carradine. Oddly enough, Carradine was not used very much in HTG… most of his roles were in the Days films. Saddened by the loss, an HTG tribute of some sort is being developed. An acting friend award, like for Heath Ledger? A contest or mini-event of some sort? It has not been determined yet, but we hope that it will adequately express our appreciation for the late Mr. Carradine.

Keep an eye out for what will be developed.

Dogs Go to War and Other Crazed Goings On From Baseball Mogul

Filed under: Talents, Films

Some say he’s not human. Some say he’s a writing machine sent from the future to populate the theatres with a variety of films that would boggle the casual mind. Others say he is a genetic mutation, capable of producing works at a rate that have driven Friedberg and Seltzer insane. And yet others claim that he is a producer from a planet in another galaxy run by talking dogs, compelled to prepare us for their inevitable invasion.

A couple things are known, though. His name is Pedro and his works take home a lot of HTG cash.

Pedro of Baseball Mogul Productions has an upcoming film called War Dogs with Ship of Fooles. The movie is using the War Baldwin Brothers award to help with costs. Because of this and because of the large casts that war movies usually have, the featured players total an impressive 31.

The story starts out as the United States is bombed. The President has no idea who bombed his country, so he wages war on every single nation in the world. No American humans want to fight in this war, so the government is forcing talking dogs to fight. It is up to the dogs to fight an unjust war for us. PETA won’t be happy.

The two main cast members are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who play two of the dogs, as well as It’s Always Me star Rashida Jones. Something Pedro said he wouldn’t ever do was cast Megan Fox or Lindsay Lohan in a movie. But he did it with War Dogs, as they play two more of the canine cast.

Pedro is also known for using several of the same people in his casts. Amy Adams returns to her role of Sunshine the dog. Elle Fanning plays another dog named Little One. Paul Leyden and Nicholas Lea team up again with Pedro and play the “Pawn” dogs in the war. James Marsters also teams up with Pedro once again, playing a dog named Auggie. Clive Owen plays himself in the film and Debra Messing plays Pedro’s wife, as she has done this in the past. And, as if there would be any doubt, Pedro plays himself and Parker Posey takes on the role of Amy the Dog… again.

Neil Patrick Harris is also in the film as Chance, a homosexual dog. NPH will also appear in an upcoming film of Pedro’s as a serial killer known as Dirk Shingler.

And, as the Billy Mays would shout, there’s more!

Pedro has two films coming out this Friday. Originally, And F*** You Too was scheduled for a June 19th release date, but rumor has it that Lake Hope Features chief Quantum held back on Goose’s Amateurball after not receiving creative in time. Instead, And F*** You Too was bounced up to June 5th. Oddly enough, this date will see the release of not one, but two movies featuring the Luke Perry role of Roads Masterson. The 90210 has Luke Perry playing Roads instead of himself or his 90210 character. In the film he is hired to protect the cast of the new show from Jason Priestley, who is intent on killing them. In And F*** You Too, Roads is hired to save the President and rid Washington D.C. of zombies and vampires.

Future cyborg? Mutant? Or canine friendly alien? Whatever form Pedro has assumed, one thing is for certain… No matter where you turn, you’ll be able to experience something from the mind of HTG’s most prolific author. Cha!

Get Ready, Pardner, For a Rootin’ Tootin’ Good Film.

Filed under: Talents, Films

Ship of Fooles Studio is working with Quantum of Raptor Inc. to release a classic film. Quantum has discovered a 1979 lost film featuring the last appearance of legendary actor John Wayne. The Sergio Leonne film also features Clint Eastwood. Jay Silverheels, known for his portrayal of Lone Ranger sidekick Tonto, also appears in the film. Ship of Fooles executives are hoping to make the discovered treasure one of the three top 3 westerns of all time.

“I don’t think many younger residents of HTG Hollywood realize what a big find this is” commented film fan Marlowe when he heard the news. “John Wayne was the western star for more than 30 years. No one could match his presence on the big screen. I’ll be in line on the first day to catch this one.”

More details, including a release date, will follow shortly.
