- Deborah Harry has given her blessing for Kirsten Dunst to play the Blondie frontwoman in an upcoming, Michel Gondry-directed Blondie biopic. Despite the message board protests to Dunst’s casting, Harry insists Dunst is a “sweetie who is “probably capable” of filling her new-wave shoes. The film is still in pre-production.
- It’s nice to know some of the U.S. budget might not going to the Iraq War: A few key members of the White House, namely deputy press Tony Fratto, downloaded copies of Radiohead’s In Rainbows.
- Strange collaboration alert: OutKast’s Big Boi and actor/”rapper” Will Smith are teaming up to produce a new television comedy series called Uncle Rudy.
- There’s nothing overtly David Bowie-ish about Target’s new Bowie-inspired clothing line, but we’re still totally purchasing the entire ensemble (except maybe Look 6).
- Just when it seemed like Across the Universe would be the first flop for the Beatles since, well, ever, it turns out teenage girls nationwide are now frantically texting one another to go see the semi-new musical, thanks to a soft spot for actress Evan Rachel Wood and Lennon/McCartney songs. The film finally appeared on the box office top ten this past week.
