Farrah Abraham is heading for solo stardom.

After sharing the spotlight with her fellow Teen Moms and then making the sort of feature that usually needs another person to, er, work, the former MTV star has signed a deal to shoot her own reality show.

"Get ready for better TV :) The News Is True," Farrah tweeted today along with a link to a Starcasm story announcing her new venture.

"MAJOR NEWS!! Spinboi Films has signed Teen Mom Farrah Abraham to develop a new reality docu-soap! TV magic coming soon!" Spinboi posted on its Facebook page.

The New York-based production company also tweeted to its new leading lady this morning, "@F1abraham Such a pleasure meeting with you today...you're a star!!! @GRMediaFirm."


So, apparently it didn't take long to realize that they wanted to make TV magic together.

While the production deal indicates that they intend to get the cameras rolling on Farrah's life as 21-year-old mom of 3-year-old Sophia, it remains to be seen if a network shows interest.

Robin Thicke had some fun with Pharrell and T.I. on his hit “Blurred Lines,” but he returns to familiar territory on “4 the Rest of My Life.” The tender love ballad, which is scheduled to hit iTunes on May 28, is destined to become a wedding anthem (Thicke has performed at weddings for Kim Kardashian and Michael Jordan). The romantic crooner reminisces about first laying eyes on his wife Paula Patton and knowing that she was the one.

“For the rest of my life you know I’m gonna be yours,” he sings in a falsetto.

“Blurred Lines” continues to shoot up the charts, while his album of the same name is due this summer.

Mirrors is so two weeks agoCollapse )

Julie and Rick Yorn will produce the true-life tale via their Fox-based shingle, LBI.

Fox has gone deep undercover to pick up Narc, a true-crime project to which Zac Efron is attached to star.Julie and Rick Yorn will produce via their Fox-based shingle LBI, while Garrett Meyer, who is part of the studio’s writing program, is on board to pen the script.

Narc, described as a college-set Donnie Brasco, centers on an all-American college student who was a big man on campus. He was the president of his fraternity and captain of his lacrosse team but got busted by local police when he was caught with some cocaine he was going to distribute at a party.

The police offered him a deal in which he would not be arrested if he became an undercover informant. The student then ended up living a secret double life while in college, wearing wiretaps and eventually putting away big-time criminals.


Efron, who is currently shooting Universal’s The Townies with Seth Rogen, just signed on to the thriller Autobahn with Amber Heard. The project is selling at Cannes. He is repped by CAA and Alchemy Entertainment.

It wasn't Miranda Kerr's face that stole the show during her latest photo shoot.

Instead, the Victoria's Secret veteran—who, ironically, was modeling skin-care products rather than lingerie today—gave the crew and an obliging photographer a glimpse of her bare breasts when her black sweater got away from her on a sunny day in Miami Beach.

Or maybe the sweater itself decided it was better needed elsewhere (like covering Kerr's bum) and just opted to take the plunge.

"Oops, scandalous!" read the amused pout on her face, captured in another pic, when she hastily held up one hand to partially shield herself.

Other than the double nip slip, however, the rest of Kerr's shoot for her own Kora Organics skin-care line seemed to go along just fine.



nipples ahoyCollapse )

When the '60s procedural "Ironside" is revived on NBC this fall, the setting will move from San Francisco to New York and the lead character will be African-American. But one thing hasn't changed: The actor playing Ironside can still walk from his wheelchair when the director yells cut.

The colorblind casting is ironic to some disabled actors -- who say having a walking actor play a paraplegic is as offensive as blackface.


"This would be like being in the '50s and having a white guy do blackface, at this point," said "Sons of Anarchy" star Kurt Yaeger (left), an actor and pro BMX rider who lost his left leg after a motorcycle accident. "You need to start having disabled people playing disabled characters. Period."

NBC declined to comment to TheWrap on the "Ironside" casting, and on whether any disabled actors auditioned for the role, which went to Blair Underwood. But five disabled actors who spoke to TheWrap said film and television should at least give them a chance to play characters whose struggles they truly understand.

What's a "homie hopper"?  Is "crunk" still an acceptable term to use?  Are you saying "gnarly" in the weird white way?  Nicole finds answers to these questions in this episode of #CandidlyNicole.  She visits her younger sister, Sofia, to talk about the latest in slang and social networking.  Nicole explains that she's not sure who she would be if she had access to this much social media when she was 14.


My sister taught me the term 'homie hopper,' so I don't need to learn anything else today, right?Collapse )
 
 


Jonathan Rhys Meyers is reportedly in the frame for a key role in Star Wars: Episode VII.

According to Latino Review, who previously reported that Harrison Ford would be returning to the franchise, the Irish actor is "in talks to star" in Episode VII.

The new Star Wars movie is being helmed by JJ Abrams, who previously directed Rhys Meyers in 2006's Mission: Impossible III. Rhys Meyers' other film credits include Match Point and Velvet Goldmine, but he's probably best known for playing King Henry VIII on TV's The Tudors.

Lucasfilm - which is now owned by Disney - has slated Episode VII for release in 2015 and hired Toy Story 3 writer Michael Arndt to pen the script. Original cast members Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill have all hinted very strongly that they will be returning.

Earlier this month (May), Lucasfilm confirmed that Episode VII will be shot in the UK - with production due to begin early next year (2014).
