Sex Tape

Film Appearance0 Comments

Diaz reunites with Seigel for Sex Tape, directed by Jake Kasdan who helmed their 2011 comedy Bad Teacher.  A married couple with young kids try to inject some spice and mystery into their nonexistent sex life and decide to film their escapade.  Unfortunately their private moments are uploaded onto the web, which spark a series of comical events to retrieve it.  When asked how she felt about bearing her bum:

It’s not an objectification. If I had done it another time, if I was a young girl who was taking off my clothes to be sexy in a movie— that never felt right to me. For me, this is about two people who are in a loving relationship, being playful with one another and showing how much they love each other.

Cancels Dublin shows

Appearance Cancellation0 Comments

All five of Brooks comeback concerts in Dublin, Ireland are canceled after unsuccessful negotiations with Dublin city council.  Having five shows in the area violated a city ordinance, and Brooks couldn’t get an exception for his mega return to the city.

It is with great regret that Aiken Promotions today announce that the five concert Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event at Croke Park has been cancelled. No concerts will take place. Aiken Promotions have exhausted all avenues regarding the staging of this event. We are very disappointed for the 400,000 fans who purchased tickets for the Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event.
