Inglourious Basterds: Tarantino film has record opening weekend
Christoph Waltz, who plays SS Colonel Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds

It marked the biggest opening of Tarantino’s career, beating Reservoir Dogs,Pulp Fiction and both Kill Bill movies.

The film took a total of $65.1 million around the world, including $37.6 million in North America where it shot straight to the top of the box office chart. Tarantino’s previous record opening in North America was $25.1 million for Kill Bill Vol 2 in 2004.

German moviegoers also lapped up the Second World War tale, a revenge fantasy starring Brad Pitt as the leader of a Jewish-American group out to scalp Nazis. The film topped the box office there and in other countries including France, Australia and the US.

At the US box office, Inglourious Basterds trounced nearest rivals District 9, GI Joe: The Rise of Cobraand The Time Traveller’s Wife. Critic reviews have been mixed although there has been universal praise for Christoph Waltz, the Austrian actor who steals the film with his role as SS colonel Hans Landa. Diane Kruger, Eli Roth and Melanie Laurent also star.

Talk has already turned to a prequel, with the Weinstein Co keen to capitalise on the film’s success. According to Harvey Weinstein, the plot forInglourious Basterds II is already set and Pitt is ready to sign up.

"Meet Me At The Equinox": Death Cab For Cutie Lands 'New Moon' Single

Posted by abohan 0 komentar
Source: BuddyTV

Well, surprise, surprise. Last year was Paramore's turn on the spotlight when, after releasing two songs on the Twilightsoundtrack, they were catapulted from emo-indie obscurity to wider fame. Maybe this year it's Death Cab for Cutie's turn.

I'm going to be a music snob for a bit and say I hope it doesn't make DCFC that big. Then again, they've managed for the longest time, being one of the more known bands on the indie circuit, releasing numerous albums, and finding their songs used on shows such as The OC and Six Feet Under. But with the New Moon soundtrack heading in a more indie direction, thanks in part to Stephenie Meyer's deeper involvement, the band finds themselves on the verge of being introduced to a much, much, much wider audience with "Meet Me At The Equinox", the leading single off the soundtrack, whose music video will debut on September 13 at the MTV website.

"We didn't expect it to be chosen for the first single," the band's bassist, Nick Harmer, told MTV News. "We were thinking it would be a part of the soundtrack, maybe. I have no idea if [Meyer] approved it or what."

"It's been an exciting process, because we've been so removed from it," he added. "We were in [Los Angeles] for a week and we went into the studio and ... recorded the song and submitted it. We didn't know where anything stood, and then we just got a call last week, like, 'Guess what? Your song has been chosen as the first single.'"

Hearing news that DCFC grabbed that first single was, at first, a little weird for me. With the indie direction, the New Moon soundtrack is starting to be pretty surprising, considering that indie stalwart Bon Iver and Radiohead vocalist Thom Yorke are at work on songs, too. While they can whip out songs about love and heartbreak, it just doesn't fit right, initially.

In DCFC's case, it's also an unusual combination, with Harmer admitting that only guitarist Chris Walla has read the Twilight books. "The big connection for us is, here's a wildly popular book series about vampires--which are awesome--set in the Northwest, and we happen to be from the Northwest as well," Harmer said. "There's this sort of hometown pride kind of thing going on." (The band hails from Bellingham, and the books are set in Forks. Washington state, yep.)

"I think that a lot of our songs in general concern a lot of the things the main characters in the books are going through," he continued. "There's a lot of stuff about relationships beginning and ending, and the questioning that happens around being in love and falling out of love. That's a comfort zone for us, so a lot of the lyrical content Ben [Gibbard, the band's vocalist] writes also happens to line up with what the characters are going through in the film ... So it wasn't difficult for us at all."

Not really difficult, it seems--even if Gibbard hasn't read the books, which means he hasn't written from any of the characters' perspectives, he still nailed the song's essence. "The emotional stuff is what he homed in on, because that's what we do," Harmer said. "It's an uptempo song ... it fits right into the Death Cab canon. The lyrics are darker and brooding, the music is a little more up. I don't know if it's a rock song, [but] when you hear it, you think, 'yep, that is a Death Cab song.'"

Being an indie kid who's loved DCFC songs from somewhere in the beginning, I'm actually excited, and perhaps wary at the same time. Can't blame me. The New Moon soundtrack hits stores on October 20, but expect a complete tracklisting within the coming weeks.

Now, I'll listen to Narrow Stairs again and sing about stalkers...


Thought on Death Cab for Cutie getting New Moon's first single?
I'm stoked! Good band, good series...
I'm over the fence, but it's gotta be good
Is it just me, or is the band selling out?
I haven't heard of them, so we'll see

Mischa Barton Breaks Silence On Hospitalization

Posted by abohan 0 komentar
Source: MTV.com - Chris Harris

Little more than a month after returning to the Manhattan set of her new TV show,"The Beautiful Life," following her much-publicized hospitalization in mid-July,Mischa Barton has spoken out for the first time about the incident.

"I went through a tough spot where everything compounded on me, and it was like a perfect storm, like everything was happening to me at once," she told Time Out New York. The former "O.C." star was removed from her home last month, due to what the Los Angeles Police Department characterized as "medical issues."

"Ms. Barton was safely transferred to medical treatment for which she remains hospitalized, as per the recommendation of her doctor," her rep told MTV News in a statement last month, amid rumors of an involuntary psychiatric hold at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Barton told Time Out that her troubles started before she was scheduled to begin filming the series. She was traveling abroad and had a "terrible" wisdom-tooth removal from which she's still just recovering. "I had to get through it without proper painkillers because I couldn't take those during work," she said of the procedure. "So it's been a nightmare."

Preparing for her television return while suffering physical pain was too much for Barton. "I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while," she said. "Sometimes, you have to hit rock bottom about things and have to get the most stressed out just to feel better again. I got completely stressed out and couldn't handle everything, and now I feel really in control."

Barton said she did not experience a nervous breakdown, but admitted that her ordeal "was pretty bad." She claimed the media made a mountain out of a molehill with their inaccurate reports. "The funny thing is, if all this happened in New York, no one would care," she said. "New York lets you be who you are, and people aren't as judgmental. I'm so glad to be back here."

At the time of her hospitalization, a friend told People.com that Barton had been "dealing with a lot of personal issues" and suggested that she picked up "some of the bad habits that had gotten out of control a couple years back."

Family members found marijuana in Jackson's bedroom

Posted by abohan 0 komentar
Source: Los Angeles Times

The discovery prompted investigators to search the pop star's mansion for heroin-related equipment. But lab tests found no marijuana, cocaine or heroin in Jackson's system.

Rotting marijuana that Michael Jackson's family members mistook for heroin briefly caused detectives to look for further evidence of the illegal drug in the pop star's rented residence during the frenzied 48 hours after his death, according to sources close to the investigation.

Family members told coroner's officials that they found "tar heroin" in the Holmby Hills home's master bedroom. Only Jackson and his children had access to the room, according to court records unsealed Thursday. The discovery prompted authorities to obtain a search warrant for Jackson's house for heroin, hypodermic needles, cutting agents, scales, balloons, condoms, razor blades, buyer lists, and seller lists, among other items, documents show.

But within days, police had ruled out heroin as a factor in the singer's death, sources close to the investigation said. Lab tests showed that the purported heroin was actually moldy marijuana, sources said. And, according to court records, a lengthy police interview with Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, placed another drug, the powerful anesthetic propofol, at the center of the investigation.

Law enforcement sources said that neither marijuana, cocaine nor heroin were found in Jackson's system.

The search warrant records, unsealed at the request of several media organizations, show that police seized 12 bottles of the sedative temazepam, several other prescription drugs and empty medication vials from Jackson's house the day after his June 25 death. As part of the investigation, police searched Murray's car June 29, records show. But according to the search inventory, the only items seized were a business card for an executive handling Jackson's London concerts, a contract and an envelope with miscellaneous writing.

In another warrant made public Thursday, a federal agent wrote that Jackson's longtime friend and physician Dr. Arnold Klein had self-prescribed medication 27 times during a nearly three-year period.

The allegation prompted a federal magistrate to sign off on a search last week of Mickey Fine Pharmacy, which Jackson frequently used.

State records showed that Klein had self-prescribed Vicodin, Valium, the sedative midazolam and modafinil, a drug used to improve wakefulness.

Klein's attorney, Garo B. Ghazarian, said Klein never self-prescribed any medication, but the lawyer declined to explain the drug-tracking records.

Madonna explains Gypsy comments

Madonna
Madonna is due to complete her tour on 2 September in Israel

Madonna has said she was "compelled" to comment on the discrimination of Romany Gypsies while on stage in Romania, despite being booed by fans.

The 51-year-old was jeered by the audience in Bucharest after saying the discrimination "made me feel very sad".

Publicist Liz Rosenberg said Madonna made the comments after being made aware of the prejudice towards Romany people in eastern Europe.

The star uses a group of Roma musicians on her Sticky and Sweet tour.

Madonna paused during her two-hour show to say: "It has been brought to my attention, that there is a lot of discrimination against Romanies and Gypsies in general in Eastern Europe - it made me feel very sad."

"We don't believe in discrimination, we believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone."

Jeers and cheers

The star then received more boos when she mentioned prejudice against homosexuals and others.

Rosenberg said Madonna had told her there were cheers as well as jeers from the 60,000-strong crowd.

"Madonna has been touring with a phenomenal troupe of Roma musicians who made her aware of the discrimination toward them in several countries so she felt compelled to make a brief statement," she added.

Concert goer Ionut Dinu, 23, said: "I jeered her because it seemed false what she was telling us. What business does she have telling us these things?"

Romania has the largest number of Roma in eastern Europe.

Nearly half of Europe's estimated 12 million Roma claimed to have suffered an act of discrimination over the past 12 months, according to a recent report by the EU Fundamental Rights Agency.

The agency says Roma face "overt discrimination" in housing, health care and education.

180-lb. model’s nude photo rocks fashion world

Plus-size model Lizzi Miller’s pose in Glamour magazine draws positive buzz

Source:
msnbc.com - Michael Inbar

Slender, leggy supermodels such as Bar Refaeli and Gisele Bundchen are taking a backseat these days to an unlikely supermodel contender in the form of Lizzi Miller — all 180 glorious pounds of her.

Miller, at 20 already a seven-year veteran of the modeling world, rocked the magazine industry and the blogosphere when her photo appeared alongside an article on women’s body confidence in the September issue of Glamour magazine. The photo shows Miller in all her blond beauty, flashing a confident smile — but also flashing some stomach pooch that hangs over her thong bikini.

Within a day, Glamour was inundated with comments, overwhelmingly positive, about the magazine’s showcasing a beautiful model unafraid to let it all hang out. Web sites such as Facebook, MSN and Jezebel.com were consumed with dialogue over Miller’s photo, and Newsweek.com dedicated Web space to a renewed debate over women’s body image.

Game changer?
The response was so large and effusive that Glamour editor Cindi Leive says Miller is proving to be a game changer when it comes to fashion magazines — which often pay lip service to the idea of representing all women, but usually opt for the carrot-sticks-and-cigarettes, skin-and-bones types when it comes to cover girls.

“I think it absolutely will,” Leive told Matt Lauer on TODAY Monday. “You get a reaction like this and you can really see it. It’s also a sign of the times that women are really looking for a little bit more authenticity and a little bit less artifice in every part of their lives.

“Will it change our approach? I think it will.”

Ironically, the fashion mountain came out of what amounted to a molehill of a picture. Miller’s life-altering pose was not on the cover of Glamour; it was just a 3-inch-by-3-inch photo illustration buried on page 194.

And speaking with Lauer Monday, Miller says she initially wasn’t all that enthused about the picture showing her belly roll spilling over. “I’m just like every other girl who has insecurities,” she said. “The first thing I thought was, ‘OK, not the most flattering picture.’ ”

TODAY
Lizzi Miller’s buzz-inducing photo was buried on page 194 of Glamour.

Little did Miller know she struck a nerve — and struck a blow for the Everywoman in the process.

‘Hot momma’
“Immediately, within hours of the magazine coming out, we had people telling us they were e-mailing it to friends, and that it was the first time they felt good about their own bodies, looking at this picture,” Leive told Lauer.

One reader wrote to Glamour saying, “Get this hot momma off of page 194 and put her on the cover!”

Another reader said, “Thank you for showing a picture of a BEAUTIFUL woman who has a stomach and thighs that look like mine! I have NEVER seen that in a magazine before.”

Yet another said, “This woman rocks and we need more women like her to make a mark on what the real woman looks like.”

TODAY
Glamour editor Cindi Leive (left) said positive reaction to the photo of Lizzi Miller (right) may change the magazine’s approach.

Miller admitted the reader responses brought tears to her eyes. The sun-kissed California girl spreads her weight over a tall, 5-foot-11 frame, and while her varying size 12 to 14 body is in keeping with the average American woman’s, she competes in a modeling industry in which any size over 6 is considered “plus size.”

Natural look
Early on in her modeling career, Miller said she had trouble even changing in front of stylists. But her confidence has built to the point where she could go nearly au naturel and not worry about a bit of belly flab ruining her self-image.

TODAY
Lizzi Miller previously appeared in Glamour in April 2000.

“This was a real picture — they just caught me in a moment when I was feeling comfortable and I was just being natural, and it was just the way it came out,” Miller told Lauer.

“I’m healthy and I work out; I live a healthy lifestyle. This is how I look; I embrace it.”

And as it turned out, Miller’s embracing of her outer self has rocked the world of fashion models.

Of Miller’s belly, Leive said, “You see it all the time when you look into the mirror, and I think that’s what women reacted to here. They’re actually seeing something that looks the way so many of us really do, but you don’t see represented that often.”

Lindsay's Dad Vows to Catch Burgling "Evildoers"

Lindsay LohanFAME PICTURES

Michael Lohan is about to go all former commander-in-chief on someone's, well, you know, vowing to track down the "evildoers" responsible for breaking into his daughter's Hollywood home over the weekend.

Here's hoping his mission ends up accomplished.

According to the patriarch, Team Lohan is bringing in some hired hands to discover whose sticky fingers burgled Lindsay Lohan's house. Per Michael, it's not only the second time in three months that LiLo has been burglarized—it's also going to be the last.

"I am coming into town to work with private investigators in order to gather evidence which will be turned over to LAPD and the detectives assigned to the case," Lohan told E! News.

"This time, these evildoers will be caught."

And with Papa Lohan on the case, no one seems to have higher hopes for swift justice than, well, Papa Lohan himself, who apparently is both mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore.

"If we are fortunate, we just might find out who the culprits were from the other thefts as well," he said.

"My children are not going to be subject to violations of this or any kind any longer. Especially when they always give to others, and it seems some of these very individuals are the ones behind these crimes.

"Dina and I are finished with this nonsense."

Evildoers, consider yourselves warned.

Michael Jackson memorabilia tour approved

AEG Live will exhibit the pop star's belongings in three cities


LOS ANGELES - A judge on Friday firmly approved a deal between Michael Jackson's estate and a concert promoter to exhibit his memorabilia, praising the arrangement that the singer's mother had fought in court over her concerns that it could harm his legacy and wasn't competitively bid.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff approved the deal that's expected to earn Jackson's estate up to $6 million, saying after four hours of mostly closed-door testimony that there was "no question in my mind this agreement is in the best interest of the estate."

Beckloff noted the lack of a reasonable alternative presented by Katherine Jackson's attorneys, alluding to a mention made in court of a company starting up in the Middle East that might be able to handle the exhibitions

"The most foolhardy thing the administrators could do is connect with some startup company from the Middle East," he said.

The show will open in London's 02 Arena, where Jackson was set to kick off his "This is It" tour this summer.

"I think everybody is going to be thrilled with the results," said John Norman, president and CEO of the exhibit's promoter, AEG Live-owned Arts and Exhibitions International. "It will be great to celebrate this man's legacy."

AEG Live, the company that was preparing Jackson's 50-concert comeback tour when he died June 25, plans to open the exhibit around the Oct. 28 release of a film using footage of the singer's final rehearsals. Attorneys for Katherine Jackson had tried to block the deal, arguing it should have been competitively bid, and that the estate should have a larger cut of the proceeds than the 50-50 split negotiated with AEG.

John Schreiber, an attorney for Katherine Jackson, suggested there was no need to hurry or conduct "a fire sale" of the memorabilia. But the judge chided his "hyperbole about rushing to judgment and fire sale and giving away the store" as inappropriate, and said he was convinced the negotiations were above board.

Meg Lodise, an attorney appointed to represent the interests of Jackson's three children, agreed that the deal was in the best interests of the youngsters, who are entitled to 40 percent of their father's estate. Katherine Jackson is the beneficiary of another 40 percent, with 20 percent going to unnamed charities.

Norman said the memorabilia exhibition calls for a three-city tour spread over two years that would stay four to six months in each city. He said he didn't know what would be included in the exhibit, but that there were warehouses of material to select from, including items from Jackson's Neverland Ranch and the "This is It" shows. The selection process would begin on Monday, he said.

Mother still feels deal coule be improved
AEG attorney Kathy Jorrie noted in closing arguments that AEG has gone from being a potential creditor to Jackson's estate with millions of dollars in claims to becoming a partner in its success. She said some of the costs of Jackson's public memorial at the Staples Center are factored into the agreement, but that the exact amounts are confidential.

Burt Levitch, one of Katherine Jackson's attorneys, said he hoped AEG would show sensitivity in how it portrays Jackson. The contract approved Friday requires the promoter to collaborate with the administrators of Jackson's estate, but Katherine Jackson may not have a formal say in how it is crafted.

"Mrs. Jackson still feels there are certain aspects of the AEG deal that could have been improved upon," Levitch said.

Katherine Jackson's attorneys have also filed a motion seeking Beckloff's permission to contest the ability of attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain — who were named as co-executors in Jackson's will — to administer her son's estate. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for September.

While the hearing was going on in downtown Los Angeles, Drug Enforcement Administration agents were raiding a pharmacy in Beverly Hills that had sued Jackson in January of 2007, claiming the singer owed more than $100,000 for prescription drugs (the matter was quickly resolved). Agents were seeking evidence of improper dispensing of controlled substances in conjunction with the investigation into the singer's death, and took at least one box of records from the Mickey Fine Pharmacy & Grill.

'Inglourious Basterds'' secret Oscar campaign strategy

Posted by abohan 0 komentar
Source: Los Angeles Times

Surely, the question has occurred to you: Why isn't Oscar-mad Harvey Weinstein releasing "Inglourious Basterds" in Oscar-friendly November or December? Doesn't he have faith that "Inglourious Basterds" can run the derby? Hey, Quentin Tarantino proved himself in 1994 when "Pulp Fiction" was nominated for best picture and Tarantino won best screenplay.

Inglourious basterds news brad pitt quentin tarantino

Last year, Harvey held back "The Reader" to the last possible stretch, giving it a limited opening in Los Angeles and New York in December, then wide release in January. The strategy paid off with five Academy Award nominations -- including a surprise bid (to some, not us) for best picture -- resulting in the Big Win at Long Last for Kate Winslet as best actress.

Answer: Harvey plans to reserve that last-minute, ambush strategy he employed for "The Reader" for his other major Oscar pony, "Nine," Rob Marshall's adaptation of the Tony-winning musical starring Penelope Cruz, Daniel Day-Lewis and Marion Cotillard. For "Inglourious Basterds," he plans to use the "Crash" campaign model.

By releasing "Inglourious Basterds" in theaters now, Harvey can give the flick a second wave of ballyhoo when the DVD comes out late this year. Because the DVD will be a mass release, it won't need to be watermarked with numerals identifying each disc with the name of an academy member or other award voter. That's one of the sneaky ways "Crash" beat front-runner "Brokeback Mountain" for best picture of 2005 -- Lionsgate blitzed Hollywood with more than 120,000 cheap DVDs.

To manufacture and ship a watermarked DVD costs about $20. The cost for a non-watermarked equivalent: $5.

Beware, Hollywood. Given how red rivers flow in Tarantino pix, the town will be engulfed in a blood tide this December when Harvey unleashes his "Inglourious Basterds" DVD campaign. It will probably pay off with two Academy Award nominations: best screenplay (Tarantino) and supporting actor (Christoph Waltz). Maybe more. "Pulp Fiction" got nommed for best picture when there were only five slots; this year there will be twice as many.

LINDSAY SPARKS DELI BEEF IN PHONE FOLLY

WHO ORDERED THE TURKEY? Lindsay Lohan frets at a Little Italy deli while trying to retrieve her BlackBerry from a skeptical worker.

He really pushed her buttons.

Lindsay Lohan went ballistic on a deli worker who, unaware of her fame, made her jump through hoops to get back a cellphone she had left in his Little Italy shop.

The drama queen was so angry, she called cops to help get back her BlackBerry, which she had forgotten on the counter of Mott Corner Deli on Kenmare Street after tossing a $5 bill at the worker for a 50-cent cup of ice.

Mohamed Hashan, 27, said he noticed the phone at 7:15 p.m. Thursday and hurried outside to find its owner.

He saw Lohan get into a cab and asked her if the phone was hers. She answered "yes," according to Hashan, who said he was unaware of her celebrity status.

"If this is your phone, then have one of your friends call it," he said.

Lohan's pals -- stylist Patrick Aufdenkamp and an unidentified woman -- tried dialing the cell, but the calls didn't connect.

"Lohan started cursing at me. She then made a grab for her phone," Hashan said.

She started "laughing, crying and yelling" when Hashan told her to come into the store so they could review security video.

"She said, 'Don't you know who I am?' " he said. "I told her no. I didn't care who she was."

Cops gave her the phone back after viewing its stored photos.

"We appreciate New York City's Finest coming to Lindsay's rescue and assisting her in retrieving her BlackBerry," said Lohan pal Mike Heller.

Kate Major goes off on Jon Gosselin's 'bachelor romp' and outright lies, feels sorry for Hailey

Posted by abohan 0 komentar
Source: New York Daily News - Olivia Smith


Former Star magazine reporter and spurned Jon Gosselin mistress Kate Major aired her grievances against the Octodad on CBS' 'The Early Show' on Friday.

In case this wasn't obvious, Jon Gosselin is on "some bachelor romp or whatever you want to call it," his ex-fling Kate Major told CBS' "The Early Show" on Friday.

And just to add credibility to that apt assessment by Major, a former Star magazine reporter, rival gossip mag Life & Style came out with exclusive photos of the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star at a low-lit club where they reported he was visited by a constant stream of ladies Tuesday night.

Current girlfriend Hailey Glassman was nowhere to be seen when the Goss was lapping up VIP treatment at a club called Shrine in theFoxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., on the night of August 18.

"Jon showed up at Shrine, where he ordered bottles of Grey Goose vodka. He only allowed girls over to his table the whole night, and there were a lot of them," said a source for the magazine.

"It's a very sexy, dark kind of nightclub after 11 o'clock. It's Asian-themed, so there's a lot red and couches everywhere. He had a blast," said the spy, who also reported that the soon-to-be divorced Dad stayed until last call, at 1 a.m.

Later that week Major continued to milk her 10 minutes and counting in the spotlight with a glum confessional on "The Early Show."

She accused Gosselin of outright lies and false promises that sparked her decision to leave her job as a reporter and embark on a new life with the Octodad.

She detailed the beginning of their 12-day affair, saying it all began when they went to dinner together after she went to Pennsylvania to cover the story of his split from the mother of his 8 children, the Kate who still bears his last name.

"He invited me and then one thing just kind of lead to another," recalled the former scribe, who said things didn't really get intimate until they went to a house party where he held her hand. Later, they kissed in the car.

"I didn't look at it as a fling," she said, adding, "I wouldn't have gotten involved with him if I knew what the outcome would be."

When he later told her there was no way they could be together, given her profession as a journalist who was supposed to be covering him, she says he promised her a new job.

"I was supposed to work with him as his personal assistant as well as on other things he's working on."

CBS showed Major a clip of rival Glassman calling her "cuckoo, cuckoo," with a gesture and high-pitched voice to drive home the point.

But Major did not take the bait.

"This isn't about Hailey and I - this is about Jon and I," she said with the sober and wounded expression she wore throughout the interview. "I feel badly for her that she doesn't know the truth."

She continued, "He did not act like an adult, or a grown man, or a father. It's sad, I think the fame has just gone to his head and he's on some bachelor romp or whatever you want to call it - but you cannot treat people."

While some might love a ready-made opportunity to revel in the mudfest that is Gosselin's love life (he's also been linked to his kids' babysitter), they probably won't have a TV show to make it easy for them.

A rep for the production company behind "Divorced Dad's Club" said on Wednesday that rumors Gosselin would appear on the show are unfounded.

"We are developing a show about celebrity divorced dads, \[Jon's\] people got wind of it and called, but we know he's under contract withTLC," said the publicist for Endemol, the producers behind new reality series. "So there's no conversation taking place about Jon joining our show."
