ByDarren O

Jamie Foxx Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

Director Oliver Stone has confirmed that he is moving forward with the authorized version of Martin Luther King Jr.’s life story. In addition, as it has widely been speculated, Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx will be portraying the civil rights leader.

Stone told The Wall Street Journal that was he was eager to get back behind the lens. The director (JFK, Platoon, Natural Born Killers) highlighted that he is a dramatist and plans to place those characteristics front and center during the development of the film stating, “We’re looking for a way to relate to this extraordinary man.”

In other fair and balanced Foxx news (see what I did there), the 45-year-old star of Django Unchained and Ray shot down recent rumors that a romance was brewing between himself and fellow A-lister, Katie Holmes. Foxx told Nancy O’Dell with Entertainment Tonight:

“[The rumors] are one hundred percent not true. In fact, it’s quite hilarious because we simply danced at a charity event along with a lot of other people.”

Jamie co-starred with Katie’s famous ex-husband Tom Cruise in the film Collateral and the two are known to be good friends.

PHOTOS All the Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise divorce tabloid covers from this week

ByAsa Hawks

The story of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s pending divorce broke on Friday, so this week we see the first wave of tabloid cover stories about the split. Normally we don’t see the covers until Wednesday, but with the combination of a universally hot blockbuster story and tomorrow being the Fourth of July (purely speculation on my part), we have all of the cover images a day early (except OK! for some reason). As you might expect, the TomKatastrophe is on the cover of every one, although three chose to delegate the biggest celebrity break up story since Prince Charles and Princess Diana to a secondary role behind “Jessica Simpson’s Diet Disaster,” “Best and Worst beach Bodies” and “The Queen Humiliates Kate Middleton.”

Anyways, keep reading for all the covers as well as brief summaries from each!

Is Nicole Kidman Katie Holmes’ secret friend?

ByStarcasm Staff

Katie Holmes just quickly settled a surprise divorce from Tom Cruise, and although there’s a lot of speculation that Tom’s fervent involvement with Scientology caused a huge problem problem for the marriage, especially as far as daughter Suri is involved, the Church of Scientology is said to have not been involved in their settlement negotiations. Scientology was also thought to have played a part in Tom’s split from second wife Nicole Kidman (and it also played a key role in his split from first wife Mimi Rogers, oddly enough all of Tom’s wives left him at the age of 33. That’s a coincidence, but it’s still a little weird.)

Now US Weekly has a source saying that Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman have been clandestinely talking on the phone (part of Katie’s stealth leaving the marriage involved her changing her getting a secret, disposable cell.)
