HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 18, 2000 -- Are the Oscars going standup?
Looks that way now that yet another star comic has been tapped to host the 73rd Academy Awards.
Wild and crazy guy Steve Martin will host ABC’s live telecast from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on March 21, following past hosts and fellow comics Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg up to the podium.
“He’s everything!” says the show’s producer, Gil Cates, who made the surprise announcement today. “He’s a movie star, he’s funny, he’s classy, he’s literate -- he’ll be a wonderful host.”
Academy President Bob Rehme is also confident that Martin is the right exception to the rule this year.
“Steve Martin has been on our list of host choices every year, and we’re delighted that we were able to persuade him to do it,” Rehme told Hollywood.com. “He’s wonderful, a big movie star, very funny and a

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 16, 2000 -- Who'd have guessed that so many people would want to play an ape? But it's true. After Tim Roth and Helena Bonham Carter, the latest actor to join the remake of "The Planet of the Apes" as a simian is "The Green Mile" man, Michael Clarke Duncan, The Associated Press says.
Specifically, Duncan is going to play a silverback gorilla.
Helmed by Tim Burton, the much-anticipated remake also stars Mark Wahlberg, who's got the role of the rare humanoid crashing the planet.
BACK TO 'BASIC': We know a good cast when we see one: Catherine Keener ("Being John Malkovich) and Benicio Del Toro ("The Way of the Gun") might both star in "Basic," Daily Variety says. The drama concerns a DEA agent who's investigating the disappearance of an army instructor and several of his cadets.

SANTA MONICA, Calif, March 22, 2000 - Call it "The Battle of the Blonds." Brad Pitt Brad Pitt (aka, the young Robert Redford) and Robert Redford (aka, the old Brad Pitt) are eyeing a spy flick called "Spy Game" in which they'd give audiences a double jolt of their, well, blondness.
Today's Hollywood Reporter says Pitt and Redford have been looking for a flick to do together. To date their sole collaboration is 1992's "A River Runs Through It." On that one, though, Redford stayed behind the camera, directing and narrating. "Spy Game," an in-the-works espionage flick for Universal Pictures, would be the first time the two hotties shared screen time.
Robert Redford In the film, Pitt would play the young hottie (er, CIA agent) who gets kidnapped by the Chinese. Redford would play the older hottie (er, CIA agent) who sets out to rescue the kid.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 9, 2000 -- So he got to shoot on an island off Thailand for months, flying friends in for visits and soaking up an island paradise. But Leonardo DiCaprio, star of "The Beach," has one little quibble.
Says Leo to the British magazine The Face, "It truly bothered me ... that [Richard, DiCaprio's character] never had any kind of sexual contact with Francoise," a stunning Frenchwoman played by Virginie Ledoyen, with whom he does a little smooching and frolicking in the surf.
"The constant foreplay between the two characters never amounted to anything," the 25-year-old DiCaprio says. "And I really wanted something, whether it be complete and utter rejection or some sort of wild sexual encounter. ... It just had to happen." Well, it just goes to show that even the King of the World can't have it all.
