John Stamos finally went on record attributing his hilarious 2007 train wreck appearance on an Australian talk show to alcohol, US weekly reports.
“I was on sleeping pills and I was jet-lagged, but I was also just plastered. And I never said I wasn’t, but that whole Warner Bros. publicity machine got involved and said, ‘Just say he was jet-lagged,’” said Stamos.
Stamos slurred his words, made innappopriate jokes and even made a lewd gesture to the host with a glass head. He finished off the interview reading the host’s lines off the teleprompter while squeezing her beside him.

E! Online reported Warner Bros. has confirmed plans for a third “Tomb Raider” movie, which would feature changes for its leading character, Lara Croft according to the Hollywood Reporter. These changes will include the main character’s origin story as well as new missions, villains and love interests.
But the most notable change is a new Lara Croft. Producers have said they have not yet selected the new leading lady because they are waiting for a writer and a director to sign onto the project.
Although “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” and “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life,” its sequel, were both produced by Paramount Pictures, Eidos has obtained the rights to its video game.
The first “Tomb Raider” film scored big at the box office in 2001, earning $275 million worldwide. The sequel however did not gross as high, but managed to pull in an impressive $157 million. Meanwhile the video game series has made more than $1 billion since its release in 1996.
Deadline Hollywood Daily reports that Emile Hirsch has hastily parted ways with the United Talent Agency.
This comes just days after Hirsch’s big flick, “Speed Racer,” came in third place at the box office. Adding to the scandal is that Warner Bros. tried to lie about how much money the movie earned.
Hirsch’s now former agent, Shani Rosenzweig, is “gobsmacked” about the actor’s departure. He had been with the agency for more than seven years.
“He claims he just doesn’t want an agent,” an insider told the site.
The promising young actor will next appear in the Gus Van Sant film, “Milk.”
Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov has decided that the company will “no longer [produce] movies with women in the lead.”
This brutal policy came from the mere fact that two recent Warner movies starring Jodie Foster and Nicole Kidman (The Brave One and The Invasion respectively) did not do well at the box office.
“It’s a phenomenal thing to say. What are we in the 1700s where women are back to being barefoot and pregnant?” said an anonymous producer. “What’s next — fire all the Warner Bros women executives?”
In response to Robinov’s new policy, Gloria Allred made the following statement:
“If that’s what he said, when movies with men as the lead fail, no one says we’ll stop making movies with men in the lead. This is an insult to all moviegoers and particularly women. It is truly unfortunate that women get blamed for decisions which are made by men. Instead of taking responsibility for their own lack of judgment about which scripts to make, directors to hire and budgets to OK, some men in the movie industry find it easier to place blame for their lack of success on women leads and to exclude talented female actors from the top employment opportunities in Hollywood in favour of macho males. If that studio confirms that their policy is to now exclude women as leads, then my policy would be to boycott films made by Warner Bros.”
