From Albania to Vietnam, 63 countries are hoping that their film entry will get picked to fill one of the five slots for Best Foreign Language Film for the 84th Annual Academy Awards.
Five slots, 63 countries, the competition is fierce! Is your country of choice one of the 63 hopefuls?
I'm happy that my home country, the Philippines, has an entry, the dramedy "The Woman in the Septic Tank" from director Marlon N. Rivera. Released in the Philippines on August 3rd, the film became the highest grossing independent movie in my country's cinema history. So keeping my fingers crossed for this movie!
The shortlist will be released in January and then it will be whittled down to five contenders when the nominations are announced on Tuesday, January 24, 2012. The winner will be announced on Oscar night on Sunday, February 26, 2012.

Yesterday the Academy finally released the full list of 2012 Foreign Language Oscar contenders adding four films I did not have on my previous list from the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, United Kingdom and a mysterious title I can't find anything about from Kazakhstan and now that the short list has been announced and everyone has posted the Academy's press release it's like searching for a needle in a haystack if you go looking for more information on it. That said, if anyone has a link to any information on Egor Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky's Returning to the 'A' I would love to share it as I have links and information for all other 62 films submitted for consideration. As I said in my last post addressing the category, I haven't seen any of these films, a rarity for me, but based on buzz the top contenders would seem to include Zhang Yimou's The War of Flowers,...

We gave you an update a few weeks ago, but The Academy now has its final list of the 63 films competing for Best Foreign Film Oscar. This list will get cut down as films screen and the committee decides on a final five when the nominations get announced late January. The notable films include Iran’s A Separation, which we adored and China’s massive budget The Flowers of War starring Christian Bale (which isn’t even complete to my knowledge).
Mexico’s Miss Bala (read our Cannes and Vancouver reviews) and Finland’s Le Havre (our Cannes and Toronto reviews) are also contenders. Lebanon’s Where Do We Go Now? is also in the mix, a drama that won the top prize at Toronto. There are many others we’ve seen at festivals, so follow that coverage here as we head into Oscar season.

Coheed and Cambria bassist Michael Todd was arrested on Sunday on charges of robbing a pharmacy in Massachusetts just hours before he was due on stage with the band.
Coheed and Cambria bassist Michael Todd mug shot
According to police, Coheed and Cambria bassist Michael Todd walked into a Walgreens pharmacy in Attleboro, Mass. around 1Pm on Sunday. He allegedly showed a note on his phone to the pharmacist that said he had a bomb and demanded to be given Oxycontin, an extremely powerful painkiller.
Todd, 30, left the scene in a taxi with six bottles of Oxycontin and headed to the Comcast Center in Mansfield, where Coheed and Cambria was due to open for Soundgarden that evening. Todd was later identified to police by the cab driver and on store surveillance video.
Police arrested Michael Todd at the Comcast Center before the show started and the band ended up playing without him.

Insiders say Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready to pay big for cheating on Maria Shriver with their housekeeper — and he’s going to cough up more half of his fortune! Should she forgive him?
Arnold Schwarzenegger knows he screwed up big time by fathering a child with his housekeeper while he was married to Maria Shriver and subsequently embarrassing his entire family, but he’s going to try to make it up to them — particularly Maria — by giving up the majority of his fortune in the divorce and not just the 50/50 required by California state law. That means Maria, 55, could stand to receive more than $350 million dollars!
“Arnold realizes he is to blame for the collapse of his marriage. Maria was a loving wife and mother, and he doesn’t think that any amount of money can minimize what he has put her through. He wants to do the right thing,...

Ouch, the hits keep coming for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sources told RadarOnline Wednesday that the California Attorney General's office is investigating the former governor for allegedly using his state-funded security detail to escort women to his hotel room. The Ag office did not comment if there was any criminal investigation, but sources said top lawmakers have called for an inquiry into Schwarzenegger's affair. One witness, the head of security at the Sacramento Hilton, said he frequently saw California Highway Patrol officers escort "scantily-clad" women in and out of Schwarzenegger's suite.

A new report claims when Maria would leave her home in the morning, Mildred would crawl into her bed and make love to Arnold!
This is just disturbing! Mildred Baena, the mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s love child, told a friend that she was more of a wife to Arnold than Maria Shriver ever was! Mildred said that she was always there for him when Maria was not.
What’s even worse is that Mildred also claimed that she made love to Arnold in Maria’s bed after Maria would leave in the mornings. Yuck!
Is Mildred just delusional? Sources tell TMZ that Mildred has always been obsessed Maria and jealous of her naturally “gorgeous” beauty. She reportedly would dress up in Maria’s clothes and jewels and wear them out.
Mildred even consulted Maria for pregnancy and love advice — which Maria gladly gave!
That is just too strange!

Jermaine Jackson was never all that great at keeping up with his child support payments, and at the beginning of this year, he owed his ex-wife nearly six figures for unpaid child support. Naturally the mother, Alejandra Jackson, was not going to put up with his delinquency forever, and she took Jermaine to court to try to force him to pay the balance.
After negotiations during the court proceedings, the couple agreed on an amount slightly less than what Jermaine actually owed, and instead of making a payment plan, Jermaine agreed to pay the balance in a lump sum. The court papers for the money transfer was filed last week, and as of right now, Jermaine can officially say he’s not a deadbeat dad anymore.

Mother Of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Love Child Mildred Baena Split From Hubby Right After Son’s Birth!
Could Mildred and Arnold’s love child be the reason that Mildred’s marriage ended?
Just three weeks after reportedly giving birth to Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s love child on Oct. 2, 1997, Arnold’s mistress Mildred Baena separated from her husband of 10 years, Rogelio Baena.
Rogelio is listed on the love child’s birth certificate as the father, but when Mildred filed for divorce on Feb. 13, 2008 — the papers cited that the couple had no minor children, according to ETOnline.com.
Could Rogelio have known way back then that he was not the father of the child?
Mildred listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce in 2008. Is her son with Arnold that “difference?”

Laura Wasser, the same L.A. based lawyer that represented Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie during their divorces, has taken on Maria as her client, reports People.
“Maria hasn’t decided yet if she wants to end her marriage,” says one source. Other insiders speculate that Maria hired Laura to handle the fact that Arnold’s affair has become such a public ordeal.
With two more alleged mistresses — Tammy Tousignant and Gigi Goyette-Jeffers — now involved in the scandal, Maria, 55, most likely needs legal help protecting her kids from the stories revolving around their dad Arnold, 63.

Fabio must not have been available for the photo shoot for the new poster promoting Walt Disney Pictures' Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Based on what I'm seeing the film's title doesn't seem trashy enough. Maybe something like Pirates of the Caribbean: Finding Passion and a Mermaid Love Child would be a little better as Sam Clafin as Philip Swift looks off into the distance as Astrid Berges-Frisbey plays the mermaid Syrena and clutches at his chest.
If this was the poster for the XXX-rated version it would make sense, but I just don't get it otherwise.

Last year, Dr. Arnold Klein not only claimed that Michael Jackson was gay, but that the love of his life was a man named Jason Pfeiffer, who worked for Klein when Michael was still alive. Klein received death threats as a result of the claims, and has recently retracted his statements, saying that he made up the story, and that it’s ridiculous to think that Michael would have been in a relationship with Pfeiffer.
Pfeiffer, however, maintains that the story is at least partially true. While he denies that the relationship was romantically significant to either one of them, he says he most certainly had sexual relations with Michael, and that Klein is now trying to discredit him in case Pfeiffer tries to testify against him.

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks, you’ve probably already head that there’s a new Michael Jackson album coming out, simply entitled Michael. The first single from the album, “Hold My Hand,” is out now, and it’s a pretty catchy tune. It’s a duet with producer and musician Akon, and they seem to blend well together in this collaboration.
Obviously it’s still not going to hold a candle to Michael’s stellar classics of the ’70s and ’80s, but for a dead guy with a finite amount of chart life left, it’s a pretty decent effort. And of course the sales will be through the roof as this single flies off the shelves – Michael has such a dedicated fan base that they could put out a recording of him coughing and it would go straight to number one.

The romance is over, and so is the legal action.
Lady Gaga and a former boyfriend/music producer Rob Fusari have both dismissed lawsuits filed against each other. The Associated Press reports that court papers filed this week show that Gaga and Fusari have both agreed to drop the dueling suits.
Fusari originally filed in March in New York and said he wanted $30.5 million, but the AP reported that it was still unclear on Friday (September 10) whether the two made any financial deal in dismissing both suits.
Fusari's beef with Gaga was that he had helped to launch the pop star's career, but hadn't been properly compensated for his effort in the aftermath of their failed relationship. Fusari — who has also worked on Will Smith's "Wild Wild West...

Mj's Alleged Love Child -- Give Me Another Chance
The woman who swears she's Michael Jackson's illegitimate daughter is nothing if not persistent -- because two days after her DNA request was shot down ... she's begging the court to rethink that decision. TMZ obtained a copy of Mocienne Petit Jackson's motion to reconsider -- in which she claims to have audio tapes, "where my father, Michael Joseph Jackson in his very own words and in public implicitly mentions my existence."
As we first reported, a judge just put the kibosh on Mocienne's request for DNA testing to prove Michael is her long lost daddy.
According to the new legal papers -- filed in L.A. County Superior Court today -- Mocienne also claims she got bad information about how to prepare her case ... mainly because she lives in the Netherlands.
How do you say "don't hold your breath" in Dutch?...

Mj's Alleged Love Child Shot Down in Court
The latest woman claiming to be Michael Jackson's illegitimate child will never be able to prove it ... because a judge has shut her down.
As we first reported, Mocienne Petit Jackson filed documents back in July -- claiming she's the love child created by Michael and Diana Ross' sister, Dr. Barbara Ross-Lee -- asking for a court-ordered DNA test.
An L.A. County Superior Court judge just ruled ... a DNA test is not in the cards.
Mocienne also wanted custody of Mj's kids and a cut of the inheritance -- but those claims also went down in flames.
So Mpj's claims involving murder and abduction will never reach a jury ... damn.

Elin Nordegren is finally speaking out about the “hell” she has been going through since she found out about ex-husband Tiger Woods’ affairs. Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren officially confirmed their divorce in a press statement issued this week. In a new interview, Nordegren said she never suspected Woods was cheating on her.
Elin Nordegren
“I’ve been through hell,” Elin Nordegren said in an interview with People magazine. “It’s hard to think you have this life and then all of a sudden — was it a lie? You’re struggling because it wasn’t real.”
Nordegren said she had no clue Tiger Woods was having affairs on the side. “I’m so embarrassed that I never suspected — not a one.” Nordegren is estimated to have received a divorce settlement worth at least $100 million, but she claims the money means little compared to the grief she has over the divorce.

Bosses at Lady GaGa's insurance company have filed court documents in New York distancing themselves from the singer's legal battle with a former producer to ensure they aren't liable for damages if she loses the case. Rob Fusari, GaGa's former mentor and ex-boyfriend, is suing the star for $35 million, claiming he helped his former lover come up with her stage name and played a key part in landing her a record deal with Interscope.
Fusari maintains he held a 20 per cent share in his company with GaGa, Team Love Child LLC, and argues she failed to adequately compensate him for his shares in the firm once she gained worldwide recognition. The "Poker Face" hitmaker has hit back with a counter suit, accusing Fusari of taking advantage of her naivety as a wannabe pop star.

In exchange for a Huge chunk of cash, Elin Nordegren is reportedly going to sign an agreement that forbids her from discussing anything about her ex-husband Tiger Woods’ affairs!
Elin Nordegren is ready to put her marriage scandal with Tiger Woods behind her and move on with her life — and it’s going to cost her adulterous ex a pretty penny. The 30-year-old Swedish mom of two has allegedly agreed to stay completely mum about her thoughts on Tiger’s multiple affairs in exchange for a whopping $750 million settlement.
“The price of the huge sum is her silence: no interviews, tell-all books, or TV appearances about this for the rest of her life — even if Tiger dies first — or she’ll lose the lot,” a friend of Elin’s allegedly told The Sun. “Tiger’s main fear is her telling her story after he’s rebuilt his reputation,...

The couple meet with divorce lawyers two days in a row to discuss alimony and child custody!
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren seem to be approaching a resolution in their ongoing divorce as the pair both met with lawyers over the past two days. RadarOnline.com reports, “Elin met with a divorce attorney on Monday and Tuesday at her rented house in the Orlando, Florida area, a source close to the case says. And Tiger met with his attorneys the same days, having a four-hour session on Monday.”
These back-to-back negotiations show the pair’s divorce proceedings are speeding up. The key question now appears to be child custody along with Elin’s alimony, which has been reported to possibly be as high as $750 million. The pair are also apparently fighting over ownership of their Jupiter Island home in southern Florida.

Would you swallow your pride for the sake of our kids to be with an icky ex?
With little Sam Woods‘ third birthday just one day away, Elin Nordegren is considering flying to California — where Tiger Woods is currently playing in the U.S. Open — so Tiger can celebrate his daughter’s special day with her! “She hasn’t decided yet,” a source close to Elin tells RadarOnline.com. “It’s not like she’s dying to see Tiger. But she doesn’t want to keep Sam away from him on her birthday, either.”
The other option, of course, is to send the kids to California with a nanny — but that would leave Sam motherless on her birthday. It’s certainly a tough decision for Elin, who obviously wants to celebrate Sam’s big day with her, but still may not be ready to face the...

It seemed like a foregone conclusion who would win in the Spain vs Switzerland World Cup match on Wednesday. Until a goal from Swiss player Gelson Gernandes landed in a net left empty by Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Spain vs Switzerland World Cup (YouTube)
The goal from Gelson Gernandes in the 52nd minute of the game proved to be the only one scored during the entire Spain vs Switzerland match at the FIFA World Cup on Wednesday. As a result, Switzerland ended up with a shocking upset victory over Spain – the heavy favorite to win going into the match.
“To be fair, I’m not used to scoring goals, so I was a bit surprised,” Gelson Gernandes told reporters after the game. “It was a bit of luck.”
Spain held onto the ball during a majority 63 percent of the game and made 24 shots, but just could not get past the Swiss defenses.

As a result, Switzerland ended up with a shocking upset victory over Spain – the heavy favorite to win going into the match.
“To be fair, I’m not used to scoring goals, so I was a bit surprised,” Gelson Gernandes told reporters after the game. “It was a bit of luck.”
Spain held onto the ball during a majority 63 percent of the game and made 24 shots, but just could not get past the Swiss defenses.

An attorney for Lady Gaga has responded to the $30.5 million lawsuit filed against the singer by former collaborator Rob Fusari. The lawsuit alleges that Fusari discovered and nurtured Gaga (real name: Stefani Germanotta) only to have her abandon him and cut him out of her lucrative recording career once she became successful.
In a court filing made public Friday, Charles Ortner, an attorney for Gaga, said the agreement at the center of the suit was "unlawful," according to The Associated Press.
In the suit, filed in New York Wednesday, Fusari claims he came up with Gaga's stage name (which she has credited him with) and helped her get a label deal; Fusari co-wrote and produced several songs from her 2008 debut LP, The Fame, including "Paparazzi." The suit also...

Hold the "Telephone." Lady Gaga has been slapped with a lawsuit.
Rob Fusari, her alleged former lover and producer, is suing Lady Gaga's company, Team Love Child and Mermaid Music, for more than $30 million, reports the New York Daily News.
Fusari claims he discovered Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta and even gave her the name Lady Gaga.
The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan, states that in 2006:
"When Fusari addressed a cell phone text to Germanotta under the moniker 'Radio Gaga' (a song he used to play for her) his cell phone's spell check converted 'Radio' to 'Lady'. Germanotta loved it and 'Lady Gaga' was born."
Fusari claims that he's been cut from Lady Gaga's merchandising and recording royalties.
What do you think? Did Lady Gaga use and then dump him? What cell phone doesn't know the word "radio"?

A songwriter and music producer who claims he helped launch Lady Gaga's career filed a $30.5 million lawsuit against the pop superstar, The Associated Press reported Thursday (March 18).
Rob Fusari says he was squeezed out of Gaga's lucrative career after he co-wrote some of her songs, came up with her stage name and helped her get a record deal. Fusari's lawyer hadn't returned MTV News' calls for comment by press time; Gaga's rep also hadn't commented on the suit.
The producer said Gaga is his protégé and former girlfriend, and she ditched him as her career took off. "All business is personal," said the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Manhattan.

"We had so much fun writing Love Child," says Robert Stanton. "We had a blast. But I'd be disingenuous if I said I didn't think of it as an acting showcase." Performing in the play was neither his nor co-writer Daniel Jenkins' initial ambition, but as the project progressed, playing 20 characters in a work about theatre seemed the natural thing to do. Now running in repertory Off-Broadway with Lee Blessing's A Body of Water, the comic two-hander depicts an Off-Off-Broadway troupe mounting the Greek tragedy Ion by Euripides. Beleaguered actor-manager Joel is "struggling to figure out who his family is and where he fits in," says Jenkins, who plays him and other characters. "One of the themes is family. This is about a theatre family, and as we know, it frequently becomes a dysfunctional family. What we look at here is, how does it work? How is it a blessing?...
