There have been more directors attached to Dallas than JR has had hats and now it has picked up another. Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde) dropped out over casting differences and was replaced by Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham). Chadha has now been replaced - for unspecified reasons - by Betty Thomas. Betty Thomas has worked on many great adaptation of TV series (The Brady Bunch Movie, I Spy, Doctor Doolittle). Does this mean that the movie has abandoned its ideas of being a drama? After all, with Betty Thomas on board the film could become a full-blown comedy.

It seems that the production company are waiting on b-movie legend Bruce Campbell. I hear you screaming Why?! Well it’s because the film is Bubba Nosferatu, a prequel to the cult comedy Bubba Ho-Tep.

All cars to have side airbags: new regulation from the federal government 2007-08-24 05:34:03 A new regulation on cars mandates that all new vehicles are to have side airbags; this will be forced in as a new regulation by the federal government. Not only will side airbags become standard, but also how much area the bags will have to cover if they are deployed. The reason for the law for airbags to cover more area is due to the fact that some side airbags deploy far too low, this is very dangerous when you are involved in an accident with an SUV as it is much higher than a standard car. Automakers have already set themselves a deadline by 2009, which they imposed themselves. The government hopes that by the change in this rule, over 1,000 lives could be saved every year.

President Bush: Iraq Will Not Be The Next Vietnam 2007-08-24 05:09:32 Recently US President George Bush has taken a lot of heavy criticism from Democrats wanting an early withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Ealier this week Sen. Hilary Rodham Clinton said the troops in Iraq should be honoured by bringing them home. President George Bush defended the coalition forces in Iraq, and stating that removing the troops too soon would cause a bloodbath similar to that in southeast Asia after the US retreat from Vietnam. “Whatever your position is on that debate (of US intervention), one unmistakable legacy of Vietnam is that the price of America’s withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens whose agonies would add to our vocabulary new terms, such as ‘boat people’, ‘re-education camps’ and ‘killing fields’,” he said. However when giving the speech Bush’s remarks were heavily criticized by senior Democrats, who challenged the president’s grasp of historical fact. Do you agree with Sen. Hilary Clinton, and troops should be honourned ... President

$100,000 Reward to Find Mrs. X From The Nanny Diaries? 2007-08-24 05:06:17 A $100,000 reward is supposedly being offered by TWC head Harvey Weinstein to reveal the true identity of the bitchy, self-obsessed shopaholic, Upper East Side mom from The Nanny Diaries. Laura Linney played the character in the film. The movie is based on a book which is based on real experiences. The book’s authors won’t give any information about who the real Mrs. X could be. Apparently, the offer was made at a recent screening of the movie. Weinstein was apparently overheard promising a “few well-connected but tight-lipped socialites $100,000 for any information that would lead to Mrs. X’s unveiling.” It’s not likely to be a big name celebrity, though according to the NY Post one suspect is Lisa Birnbach, co-author of The Preppy Hanbook, who once employed one of the book’s writers.
