Yahoo! has the official Snakes on a Plane trailer in Quicktime and Windows Media format.
Here’s a slightly different version of the trailer that someone recorded in the movie theatre
“Snakes on a Plane” (warning: site has music) asks the question “What if you were trapped on a 747 full of deadly snakes?” and stars Samuel L. Jackson. It opens August 18th.
This movie looks awesome, and I’ve been completely influenced by all the buzz. Try to market something to me, and I won’t listen, but get all the blogs to carry it and I’m sold. “Snakes on a Plane” has taken advantage of all the Internet hype, and even offers a “Snakes” theme for your MySpace.

X17 loves to point out Britney’s foibles, and their latest blog post tries to rile everyone up with a picture of Britney in the back of her Escalade holding Sean Preston. We don’t see the car taking off with Sean Preston in Britney’s lap, but it’s implied.
Britney probably does all sorts of things that put her baby in danger, and maybe she’s only caught a fraction of the time. Now that she’s got a bad record, though, people are blaming her for things she hasn’t even done. What do you think?
Like we said, we may not have seen everything – but this is what we saw. What do you see here?
Commentors are pretty annoyed that X17 doesn’t bother to show Britney put Sean in his carseat, but did she do it? You can see the seat in the back.
Here are some more pictures from the series. You can see clearer unwatermarked versions in our image gallery from yesterday.


People are saying that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze are living apart and may be ready to divorce. Gellar is currently working on the film “The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing” while Prinze is starring in an ABC series, “Freddie.” Prinze’s TV work is said to be tearing the couple apart:
The pair have been besieged by reports the show in “tearing them apart” and are on the verge of splitting since Prinze signed up to his new sitcom last year.
A source told the New York Daily News that, “Ever since he started that show Freddie things were over.”
It has also been widely reported that they have been living apart in recent weeks.
The couple’s representative, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, has vehemently denied the rumors, insisting the couple is still, “completely together.”
Zelnick also added that they’ll be spending the weekend together at Zelnick’s house in Connecticut.
It’s rather suspect that their publicist is saying they’re coming over to her house at the weekend. That seems like an afterthought, and something she may have come up with while on the phone with the Daily News.
It’s unknown whether they’re actually having trouble, but Gellar is on baby watch since Cannes. We thought she looked pregnant at the film festival, as she was wearing ill-fitting gowns and held her hand over her stomach on the red carpet.
Reader Millie e-mailed me to say that she’s still wearing loose tops on the set of her new film, and that she does look pregnant. Loose outfits are the style now, though, and it may not mean anything. Take a look at these pictures from “A Girl’s Guide to Hunting and Fishing” and see for yourself. [via]
Prinze, 30, and Gellar, 29, have been married since 2002. We’ll have to wait and see if their marriage is in trouble and/or if they’re having a baby.

You may have seen these pictures already, but they’re just so cute we couldn’t resist publishing them. Here are Gwen Stefan and her husband Gavin Rossdale out with their newborn, Kingston. Stefani and Kingston are seen watching Rossdale play tennis on 6/17 and out walking on 6/24.
Gwen Stefani is going to star in a remake of Tennessee Williams’ “Baby Doll,” which was originally released as a film in 1956:
According to Moviehole.net, the movie is about a beautiful young woman who promises her husband, who is an unsuccessful businessman, that their marriage will be consummated a year after their wedding.
The woman’s husband, who wants badly to make love to her and launch his business into success, decides to set his enemy’s plant on fire.
After his enemy’s plant is nothing but ashes leftover from the blazing fire, the enemy has no choice but to use the gorgeous woman’s husband’s plant for cotton production, but things begin to go all wrong once he’s introduced to ‘Baby Doll’.
Stefani seems like a good choice to play a vampy retro character, and it’s sure to be a juicy role.
Here is the cute family on 6/17 and 6/24.

In news that’s not surprising to anyone, Star Jones Reynolds tells People magazine that her contract was not renewed for her tenth season on the annoying women’s talkshow, “The View,” and that she she “feels” like she was fired. If they didn’t renew your contract, you were fired, Star.
She announced this morning on the show that she will be leaving at the end of the season. Oh boo hoo:
“That’s shocking to me,” interrupted Joy Behar, prompting Jones Reynolds to link hands with her cohosts.
Thanking the show’s creator, Barbara Walters, “for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime,” Jones Reynolds concluded by saying, “I’m not sure what the future holds, but I’m absolutely sure who holds the future.”
After some discussion, Walters said, “It is a new chapter for Star. It will be a new chapter for The View in the fall.”
So why is Jones Reynolds leaving? Contrary to speculation that she’s unhappy about the upcoming addition of Rosie O’Donnell – one of her most vocal critics – to the show this fall, she reveals exclusively in this week’s PEOPLE magazine that the departure was not her choice.
“What you don’t know is that my contract was not renewed for the tenth season,” she tells PEOPLE. “I feel like I was fired.” She adds that she was told her contract wouldn’t be renewed just days before news leaked that O’Donnell would be joining The View.
People promises to have more on the story, including Star dishing on Rosie O’Donnel’s “hurtful” comments about her. O’Donnel said it was strange that Star would admit to breast lift surgery, but not own up to gastric bypass surgery that is largely rumored to have been the cause of her massive weight loss. She has also brought attention to the elephant in the room - Jones’ husband Al, who always played for the other team before he hooked up with the then-huge talk show host.
Rosie O’Donnel was handpicked by Barbara Walters for a cohost gig in what was interpreted as a bid to force Jones out. Unfortunately, Jones is said to have “signed a lucrative deal with another television outlet.” Who would be dumb enough to hire her?
Does anyone watch this piece of crap “The View” anymore? I have seen clips online that are so annoying I can barely sit through a couple of minutes, not to mention a whole hour. I asked my mother if anyone she knew watches it, and she knows of two people. Her 67 year-old friend who holidays in Boca watches it, but she has a high tolerance for talk shows. The other woman is over 80, also lives in Florida, and only has basic cable.
Here’s a clip of Sandra Bernhardt and her nastiness vs. Star Jones and her nastiness. That little stupid conservative chick from Survivor tries to get in an ill-informed political argument with Bernhardt, and Star tries to cut to commercial. People said it was a “catfight,” but it was more like an annoying argument.
Here’s Star Jones and her husband, Al, at The Apollo Theatre 2006 Spring Gala on 6/19.

Brad Pitt’s reveals that he’s an adoring father in an upcoming Newsweek interview. He also makes it clear that he and Angelina plan to adopt again:
He told Newsweek magazine being a father had made him more of an activist on issues such as child poverty.
“Whether you have them or adopt them, they’re all blood,” Pitt said of his brood. “And the funniest people I’ve ever met.”
The 42-year-old added: “I look at Zahara and imagine what her life could have been.
“You want to grab as many of these kids in your arms as you can.
“They need our help, and we should be doing more.”
He sounds a lot like Angelina, and he should credit her with his activism, but at least she was a good influence on him. He would be probably be bitching about the rabbits in his front yard if he was still with Aniston.
Here are pictures of Pitt’s lovely modernist home from the July, 2006 issue of Elle Decoration courtesy of Just Jared. His interest in saving the world may be due to Angelina, but his love of architecture is entirely his own, and the man has excellent taste.

Britney was set to do a pregnant semi-nude Harper’s Bazaar spread just like Demi Moore, but she pulled it. Someone sent the airbrushed pictures to BritneySpy.com, and now they’re all over. Why did Britney pull the pictures? She probably was advised against it by her “christian life coach,” who is also said to be behind Britney and Kevin’s recent reconciliation.
Now that I’m in the states I have the mixed blessing of being able to read the tabloids, and will report on Us Weekly’s glowing coverage of Kevin and Britney’s reunion shortly.
In the mean time, here are Britney’s Harper’s Bazaar photos. They’re trashy, but that’s just how she comes off anyway. Add a shag rug and pose her nude and you just magnify that quality. Also, Sean Preston is cute and all, but doesn’t he have any other expression? He always seems to look the same. Maybe that’s how he copes.
Thanks to Just Jared for these photos.

Cameron Diaz didn’t really slip a nip - she removed her top entirely, most likely with the full knowledge that the paparrazi were nearby to photograph it all. She is seen frolicking with Drew Barrymore on the beach at Harbour Island in the Bahamas. The National Enquirer has more photographs of Cameron and Drew and six of their girlfriends on the beach. Those pictures are probably from a different day, as Drew is wearing a black bathing suit, and she’s seen with a blue top and striped bottoms in the nipple slip pictures. [via]
Are Cameron and Justin over? Sources say he’s been dating Lauren Popeil, the daughter of head Ronco honcho and spray-on-hair inventor Ron Popeil. Cameron and Justin were photographed at the airport together leaving for London on June 25th, but they stood far apart. That may not mean much, because who is thrilled to be at the airport? (Although I would be a lot happier about it if I was getting on a private jet.)
Lainey’s Gossip comments on the photos, after saying in an earlier post that they were really over, and that Cameron was getting to “clingy” for Justin:
Here are JT and his clingy Cam on their way to London for his new video shoot, a song called Sexyback.
Maybe Cameron gave Justin a little time off while she partied with a bunch of her friends in the Caribbean, and that was enough for him.

This week’s National Enquirer has Jen and Vince “on the rocks” and fighting over the fake engagement ring Jen wore to the London premiere of “The Break Up.” She had it on her left hand, and gushed about the ring’s details to the press. Vince got pissed off and Jen put the ring on her right hand to appease him. Jen and Vince stayed away from each other all night, and a source says they were both in a bad mood and looked sad. We’ve heard this story before.
When British journalist Leigh Purves asked Vince if he and Jennifer planned to marry, he barked: “Talk to our people.”
Said Purved: “I’d noticed Jennifer was wearing a ring on her wedding finder. I asked her about it and, looking very coy, she told me: ‘It’s a 9.5-carat canary diamond ring by Suzy Fabricant. Nice, isn’t it?’
“I told her it was gorgeous, but before Jennifer could say anymore I noticed Vince moving in with a face like thunder.”
Witnesses say Vince, 36, took 37 year-old Jennifer by the arm and marched her off into a corner.
“Vince gave Jennifer a real tongue-lashing. I overheard him using the words ‘cheap’ and trick,’” a source told the Enquirer. “Vince was talking in loud whispers. He kept repearing , ‘Don’t, Don’t.’
“Jennifer looked hurt. She pulled the ring off and slipped it on her right hand.”
(From The National Enquirer print version.)
At the premiere after party, they sat separately and left separately. They even had different suites in their hotel. From her quotes, she doesn’t sound happy about their relationship:
It sounds like she doesn’t care if the cherry is there or not, and as if she’s trying to justify their stormy relationship.
US Weekly claims to have “The Truth about Jen & Vince” and refutes the rumors that she’s engaged and/or pregnant while making it seem like their relationship is fine. They use the one picture of them having dinner together in France and say that she’s moving to Chicago as proof of their solid relationship. They quote a source saying “Both of them are so happy, They are an amazing couple.”
We doubt that everything is fine, because neither of them seems happy or is willing to admit much about the other to the press. They’ve been together for two years. Isn’t that long enough to go public with their relationship?
Here are pictures we took of the stories in question. Hopefully they’re legible. There are also two pictures of Jen leaving “The Break Up” after party in London on 6/14. [via]
