The Party's Over Think Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow are over what Jennifer Lopez said about them in a 1998 Movieline interview? Think again. When Jen crashed a dinner party at the late Gianni Versace's South Beach mansion, she ruffled plenty of feathers. Madonna stood up from the table and announced, "Dinner's over." With that, the material mom and gal-pal Gwyneth left the table. In case you've forgotten Jen's controversial interview with Movieline, she said of Madonna: "Do I think she's a great performer? Yeah. Do I think she's a great actress? No. Acting is what I do. I'm like, 'Hey don't spit on my craft.'" And when asked about Gwyneth she said, "I don't remember anything she was in. Some people get hot by association. I heard more about her and Brad Pitt than I ever heard about her work." So, she's criticizing Madonna for crossing over into acting but yet she's doing the same thing with singing. And what's Gwyneth's excuse?

But how did he and producer Dino DiLaurentiis feel when Jodie Foster decided she won't be wearing the badge as Clarice Starling? Furious and outraged! Why are they so upset? The script was specifically rewritten for Jodie because she objected to the treatment of her character in the first draft. And since she gave everyone the impression that she was happy with the script and shooting would begin in the spring, Anthony and Dino feel like the wool has been pulled over their eyes. But the real hurdle for Hannibal now is who will become the new Clarice Starling? Tidy up your resumes and send in those headshots. There's no indication they even had a backup choice.

Blair Witch Lives Thought the Blair Witch was gone? Well, prepare to be spooked once again. The raging success of this low-budget hit flick has resulted in not one sequel, but two. Actually, look forward to both a sequel and a
