Willis reprises 'Die Hard'role again
HOLLYWOOD ... Heeee's coming back. Bruce Willis will reprise his role as John McClane in the fourth "Die Hard" series, set for June 2007 release. Titled "Live Free or Die Hard," it's about an attack on the U.S. computer infrastructure that begins to shut down the country. The mysterious figure behind the scheme has figured out every digital angle, but never counts on McClane's abilities. Bruce has a ball making these movies. Matter of fact, he has a ball with everything he does, from being friends with his ex's amour, to adoring his daughters and every pretty lady he meets and greets. He's that kind of a guy.
Helena Bonham Carter adores her role as Bellatrix Lestrange in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Bella is Sirius Black's cousin, and a D e a t h Eater, one of evil Lord V o l d e - m o r t ' s followers. If you are a H a r r y Potter fan you will know what I'm talking about, and also happy that there will be another "Harry Potter" movie. And worry not. There will still be more. On Nov. 21, 2008 (!) Warner Bros. will release "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince."
Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey are teaming for "Fool's Gold," about a husband and wife who have spent eight years searching for a lost treasure. They are on the brink of divorce and bankruptcy when a clue surfaces, and they reunite to find the fortune. Sounds a bit farfetched, but hey, it's just a movie.

Aside to Ora Mae K. of Hopewell Junction, N.Y. Yup. It's an absolute fact. Marlon Brando listed his profession on his passport as a shepherd. He didn't want to be known as an actor. Forgetting, of course, that he earned his living acting.
Lindsay Graves, author of "To Catch a Husband" (Ballantine Books), began her career as a rock-and-roll publicist. Her job ran the gamut from coaxing stars to play benefits to Fed-Exing fresh panties to Cher, so says her bio. Her book is about four exes of Jack Clements, who is back on the market and a billionaire. They each set out to snare him again. It's a fun, witty, sarcastic, light read. You will enjoy it!
L o r e t t a Young's son Chris Lewis now heads Entertainment Group, a production company whose agenda includes a reality show titled "Under Deadline." It's based on the hectic life of San Diego author Michele Scot, who juggles three kids, a surfer husband, a 100-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy and a housekeeper who chooses her own schedule. Sounds like fun.
