George Lucas will take some part in the planned Star Wars: Episode VII planned by new Lucasfilm owner Disney, but it will likely be a minimal role.
Speaking at the Governor’s Awards Saturday, he gave some insight on his duties in the next Star Wars installment being guided by Disney.
“[If the filmmakers ask],’Who’s this guy?’ I can tell them,” he told Access Hollywood at the event in Los Angeles. “I mean, they have a hundred encyclopedias and things, but I actually know a lot. I can say, ‘This is this and this is that.’”
Continuing, Lucas added, “Basically I’m not — I don’t really have much to do.”
Lucas recently said in a more official capacity following the sale of Lucasfilm: “… Now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers. I’ve always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime.”
He also said he’d like to do “little personal films” going forward.
Speculation has continued to swirl over who will direct the next Episode VII, though Lucas’ longtime friend, Steven Spielberg, nipped any rumors he’s in the running recently saying Star Wars is not his ‘genre.’
“I’m pretty sure he’d never want to do that!” Lucas said when asked if he’d give his approval should Spielberg ever change his mind. “I don’t think he’d want to.”
Star Wars: Episode VII is slated to hit theaters in 2015.

At last night’s premiere of Real Steel, co-star Evangeline Lilly — fresh from shooting The Hobbit in New Zealand, ZOMG — caught up with Access Hollywood for an unusually geeky Access Hollywood chat, during which she dropped a few lines in Elvish. So hot, right LOTRers? See if you can devise plot hints from the Elf-speak dialogue she trilled, after the jump.
Something something “Come now!” And something something “The cells are empty!” Good luck figuring it all out, Middle Earthers.
My favorite moment comes at the beginning of the chat when Lilly drops some real talk, admitting that with all of the prep crews helping her on set she has no excuse for messing up her Hobbit performance as Tauriel, a woodland elf. If only all actors were so self-aware!
And then, the ultimate question: “Are you scared of the fans of this?” Because you should be! My preeeee-cious…
Oh wait, my bad. The question was, “Are you scared of the fans of this… because they are such rabid fans?” Same difference, I guess. And Evangeline is rightfully scared.
“My character is actually not in [J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel] The Hobbit,” she explains. “My character is an invention of Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Phillippa Boyd, so either fans are going to love her or absolutely despise and be bitter towards her because she’s not authentic.”
Aaaaand then Access Hollywood’s on-air interviewer brings it back to LOST, offering the theory that fans of the television series are also huge Tolkien nerds and therefore will forgive Lilly for perverting the legacy of their literary icon. Hmm. Sure?

Score another point for January Jones as the Ice Cold Cunt Queen of the Century! (Heather Mills, you better peg a baby bunny in the face before JJ passes you up.) January Jones, the crab apple of my pink eye, has dared to throw hate at the human Fozzie Bear Zach Galivakankanawhatever and said that the high school girls ignored the words of Kelly LeBrock and hated JJ because she’s beautiful.
And now January’s former TV son is telling TV Guide (via Access Hollywood) in so many words that she’s about as warm as getting a crushed ice enema in the freezer room of a North Woods. This is what Jared Gilmore, who left his role on Mad Men for another show, had to say when TV Guide asked him to give some advice to the boy who will replace him as Bobby Draper:
“Be careful around January [Jones]. She’s not as approachable as the others. She’s really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice.”
Children are usually straight up, so when a kid thinks you’re a bitch, you’re a for real bitch from the bottom of the B to the top of the H. Add January Jones’ name to the list of things kids

Full Story »Mila Kunis said the word I long to hear when I propose marriage to my Anderson Cooper paper doll after Sgt. Scott Moore got on YouTube to ask her to be his date to the Marine Corp Ball in North Carolina in November. But then Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush, the Howdy Doody wooden puppet that was brought to life by the blue fairy, said that it wasn’t going to happen because Mila’s schedule won’t allow it. During a press conference for No Friends with Attached Benefits (or whatever the hell that shit is called), Mila said Billy is lying and that she will go to the ball with Sgt. Scott in November.
Mila’s co-star Justin Timberlake also verbally RSVP’d to the invitation from Corporal Kelsey De Santis to go to the Marine Corp Ball with her in DC. Corporal Kelsey took a page out of Sgt. Scott’s book by asking Justin to her ball in November. Justin awkwardly said he’d go if his schedule allows it.
So basically, two of the stars of Friends with Benefits are going to a Marine Corp Ball in November, which is probably around the same time that shit comes out on DVD. An unplanned publicity stunt that Uncle Sam can and will salute to. Don’t bother any of the producers of Friends with Benefits this weekend, because they’ll be too busy jacking it over this.
But what I want to know is, out

Our not-very-long national nightmare is over. Despite some reports to the contrary, it appears Friends With Benefits star Mila Kunis will accompany Sgt. Scott Moore to the Marine Corps Ball in November. Access Hollywood first cast doubt on the planned date because of Kunis’s busy year-end schedule, but her representatives were able to work things out. Can’t wait for the prom pics! [Fox News]
That machete-wielding leather duffel bag of crazy who slurped on a bottle of Tiger’s Blood (ingredients: grenadine syrup, blended NicoDerm patches and crack pipe residue) on the roof of the Live Nation building in Beverly Hills yesterday? Yeah, that was just Charlie Sheen celebrating getting fired from Two and a Half Men. Yes, Gnarly Sheen is about to begin the “Green Umbrella Attack” portion of his meltdown. Also known as: “winking at Code 5150.” When Charlie got to the roof, a crowd formed on the sidewalk below and started to cheer as the dehydrated turtle crackhead chanted, “FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST!” Martin Luther King Jr. is too busy shaking his head, so will somebody go down to Atlanta and roll his bones for him?
Charlie once again vowed that he’s going to sue Warner Bros. for gazillions, bazillions and katrillions of dollars for breach of contract. Warner Bros. is planning to file their own lawsuit against Charlie for all the money they lost for canceling the season (and possibly the whole damn) show early. Charlie has got a dull machete in his hands and he’s ready to fight. Charlie told Access Hollywood yesterday that when this is all done, he’ll wear their yellow roach shells as veneers.
“Here’s another thing — these guys are such yellow cockroaches that they didn’t even have the decency to

On Thursday, Josh Duhamel was kicked off of a plane and put in time out without his toys after he threw a tantrum and refused to turn off his stupid ass BlackBerry. Josh wasted everyone’s time by holding up a flight to Kentucky for nearly 90 minutes. Yes, 90 minutes! You know what those passengers could’ve done with those 90 minutes instead of sitting on the tarmac waiting for flight attendants to pop an annoying bag of hemorrhoids and pry him off the plane? They could’ve tap danced in an airport bathroom for some pre-flight peen. They could’ve read every tabloid cover-to-cover in a Hudson News. They could’ve swallowed a few Airborne and vodka shots in the terminal bar. But no, they had to wait a douchefart’s pouty party of one to be over.
Josh’s rep later burped out a “He’s sowwy” statement. And at the TREVOR Live Benefit in Los Angeles last night, Josh told Access Hollywood (via People) that he’s learned his lesson and will turn off his BlackBerry from now on. Josh had this to say, “I’ve learned that it’s best to always turn them off. It was not my favorite moment. I’m good. Lesson learned.”
So, Josh has barely learned that sometimes it’s best to listen to adults with authority who have name tags on their uniforms (name tags are important)? Gold star for him! I wonder what new and exciting

Never mind that Pink is dressed like a cholita clown extra in a Cirque du Soleil production of Mi Vida Loca (they should really get on that), one of her true gifts is naming babies. Who knew? If Pink was in charge of naming every single baby, we’d have a bunch of toddlers with names usually found on White Oprah’s grocery list. This is a good thing. Pink still has about 6 more months of pregnancy to go, but she tells Access Hollywood that she and Carey Hart already have picked out the name Jameson if they have a boy.
“My dad’s name is James, and my brother’s name is Jason. [Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey’s middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson – we like whiskey. That’s a no brainer.”
Naming your child after booze? This is brilliant. It’s also a valid reason for having kids. Then I could have a little baby Ron Vicaro and a little baby Bombay Sapphire crawling around. Don’t worry, I’d pull a Pink and tell everyone my second cousin’s middle name is “Ron” and “Bombay” was the name of my mom’s childhood cat, or something like that.
Kristen Stewart Begins The Long Good Bye To Twilight In Japan
By admin on October 25, 2012
“I’m definitely not excited for it to be over,” Stewart said at a recent press conference in Japan as quoted by Access Hollywood. “But, now that the whole story is told and everything is done and we don’t have those big moments weighing on us [and now] that Bella can finally have everything that she wants, I can’t wait for everyone to feel that as well.”
Stewart said the love triangle between Bella, Robert Pattinson’s Edward and Lautner’s Jacob carried the story in the earlier installments of Twilight carried the story, but her marriage and subsequent conversion to vampirism ushered in a new relationship.
“The whole love triangle thing — she needs Jacob in her life, he needs her in the same way, it’s not like [an] unbalanced thing,” noted Stewart. “I think that they really offer each other so much and if you can get past conventions and what everyone else is thinking, and have what you want, then you’re gonna be a much happier person…. They really do get to a point where they get to have everything and it’s nice.”
Down in Australia promoting the film, Pattinson said recently that Stewart’s entree as a vampire had been quite an experience for the actress, and unlike others who had been playing parts of the undead in other installments.
“Yeah, she was really excited about being a vampire. Everybody else…
