Travolta and Williams Adopt 'Old Dogs'

Posted 7/5/07 11:28 am EST by in News


John TravoltaCan old dogs really learn new tricks? Well, according to legendary stars John Travolta and Robin Williams, they can. If you liked "Wild Hogs," chances are you'll want to take "Old Dogs" for a walk as well. The similarly-sounding flick, which begins filming soon, will reunite Travolta with "Hogs" director Walt Becker and team them with Williams to tell yet another story of an over-the-hill, uphill battle.

"I'm doing a film with the family," beamed Travolta. "I'm doing a film with Kelly [Preston], my wife, and my daughter Ella, for the first time."

"It's basically the idea that old dogs can learn new tricks," laughed Williams. "It's about two men in what they call the twilight or the golden years, older men. [My character] finds out that he has twins that he didn't know about [and] then the kids are suddenly told 'This is your dad, and you're going to stay with him for the weekend'." Read More...

Movie Awards Backstage: Jack Nicholson Is The Man

Posted 6/3/07 9:18 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, MTV Movie Awards, Photos


In the green room, Nelly's "Hot In Herre" is playing while Robin Williams — wearing a kilt — yells out "Pole dance!" Thankfully, he didn't do one. Later, he and Bruce Willis are posing for pictures — Williams says (in a thick Scottish accent) "Last year we went to see 'The Queen' but the only person who came out was Helen Mirren." ...

Jack Nicholson is the man. He talks to Cameron Diaz for several minutes before they're joined by Adam Sandler and then Williams — and then Michael Chiklis. Nicholson tells him he didn't want to overdress for the night and appreciated that Chiklis wore a T-shirt.
