Hey Lindsay, let's get loaded!

Lohan gets publicly called out by an especially catty producer from her new film Georgia Rule. We here at SDoF tend to think, "don't you people read tabloids before you ask tweeked out starlets to be in your films?" Lohan acqueisces but her mom, Dina Lohan, continues her own shame spiral.

On that note, check out this awesome stop-motion animated baking demonstration (55mb, Quicktime)

The end is nye























SDoF has been getting an inappropriate giggle from the new advertising campaign for Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Of course, we can laugh because it's never hotter than 75 degrees in San Francisco, they must be thinking of San Jose.

Slate launches new Spoiler Specials podcast where their movie reviewer Dana Stevens discusses films -- specifically the endings. We're holding off on listening to the Pirates of the Carribean 2: Dead Man's Chest podcast, we would hate to ruin anything!

Son of a Nazi and all-around douchebag, Mel Gibson is arrested for DUI, spews anti-semitic epithets at arresting officers and apologizes the next day. Meanwhile Danny Glover continues his zen.

Comic Con and other fan delights

At least Hollywood's source material for remakes it getting slightly less treaded. Sequel to Danny Boyle's zombie thriller (hee) 28 Days Later announced at San Diego Comic Con, working title: 28 Weeks Later. Slay me!

Other ComicCon dish: Angelina Jolie may appear in Sin City 2. Fourth installments of both the Mission Impossible and Spiderman franchises are more or less confirmed. And actor turned director David Arquette let's his freak flag fly.

But we're most excited for the epic-in-the-making ping pong saga Balls of Fury (starring Christopher Walken, duh). Poster revealed:




Elisha "complicated and elusive?" Cuthbert signed to American re-make of Korean rom-com My Sassy Girl with original screenwriter Jae-young Kwak at the helm.


Beyonce fans petition for a re-shoot of her video Deja Vu. We here at Steady Diet don't blame them! See the making-of featurette of Beyonce's forthcoming Dream Girls.

Beverly Hills 90210 S1 to be released Nov. 7th.




I actually salivated a little when I read this:

Although the pilot episodes came to DVD two years ago, fans have been clamoring for season sets of this landmark primetime soap opera! Shannen Doherty (Charmed), Jason Priestley (Tru Calling), Luke Perry (Windfall), Gabrielle Carteris (Palmetto Pointe), Tori Spelling (So NoTORIous), Ian Ziering (upcoming Biker Mice From Mars), Brian Austin Green (Freddie), Jennie Garth (What I Like About You), James Eckhouse (upcoming 2006 film Half-Life), Carol Potter, Douglas Emerson and Joe E. Tata star in the initial season of the series, where the action mainly takes place at West Beverly Hills High School with new kids Brandon and Brenda Walsh moving into the upscale neighborhood, and making lots of new friends.

You would think with that zip code, there would be a ton of guest stars in the first season of this show. But really there weren't. But you will be able to spot upcoming Friends star Matthew Perry, singer Debbie Gibson, and even '80s Playboy playmate Julie McCullough among these 22 episodes.

Beverly Hills, 90210 - The Complete 1st Season will be a 6-DVD set that runs 17 hours and 48 minutes. Please stand by for extras (if any) and box art! Melrose Place - The Complete 1st Season has been announced for the same release date of November 7th, and we've heard that the long-awaited Twin Peaks - Season 2 will hit US shores a couple of weeks after that. Stay tuned!

I like how they couldn't be bothered to reach into the vaults to list what the parent figure-actors have been up to since 90210 (meanwhile digging up Palmetto Pointe and Biker Mice from Mars for Carteris and Zeiring respectively).
