A Beatles movie by Judd Apatow!


More good news!!
When it came time to pimp some of [Justin] Long's upcoming projects, a very interesting little cameo was leaked by the actor himself regarding his involvement in Walk Hard; the Judd Apatow-produced musical comedy starring John C. Reilly. According to Long, he filmed a tiny role in which he played George Harrison from The Beatles, while Jack Black played Paul McCartney, Paul Rudd played John Lennon and Jason Schwartzman played Ringo Starr. One can only imagine the type of lunacy that went on during those scenes, especially with Jack Black as McCartney. Long admits that it was minor, and says it might not even make the final cut -- but to know that something like that was filmed, and that we'll definitely be seeing it on a DVD if anything, has me anticipating Walk Hard even more than I originally was.

Highlight: Jack Black as Paul McCartney. PRICELESS.

David Lynch and Gucci Collaboration!

Great news!!

David Lynch, director of &"Blue Velvet" and &"Twin Peaks," has been hired by Frida Giannini, creative director of Gucci, to direct the advertising for the new women's fragrance, which is called Gucci and was developed with the design house's beauty licensee Procter & Gamble Prestige Products.

Tentatively slated for launch in the fall, this is the first Gucci scent to be created from scratch by Giannini, as sole creative director, and this launch will mark the first time that Gucci has used TV advertising for a fragrance.

According to a statement from P&G, Lynch was selected for his holistic ability as an artist, his professional experience and knowledge, his never-ending research for beautiful images, his use of music and his modernity." Moreover, Giannini is influenced by such creativity, and she thought it absolutely essential for the first Gucci TV campaign to have "that magical touch from an outstanding director," it concluded.
