Leslie Van Houten seeks parole: one of “Role Models”

Fans of John Waters’ “Role Models” might be interested in today’s action from a California parole board, which is hearing 60-year-old Leslie Van Houten’s bid to be freed.

Over many years, Waters interviewed Van Houten — impisoned since 1969 for her role in two Manson family murders — and wrote about those conversations in his book, while supporting her release. As he told the Baltimore Sun: “She’s very intelligent. She takes the most severe criticism and owns up to her guilt and tries to deal with it in the best way she possibly can. ‘I’m not trying to get away with anything,’ she says, and she’s not.”

Waters has also noted his fascination with Charles Manson’s “family,” and the way they influenced his film-making. An excerpt: “Sexy, scary, brain-dead, and dangerous, this gang of hippy lunatics gave new meaning to “folie à famille”, group madness and insanity as long as the same people are together and united. It was an amazing thing to see in person. Heavily influenced, and actually jealous of their notoriety, I went back to Baltimore and made Pink Flamingos which I wrote, directed and dedicated to the “Manson girls”, “Sadie, Katie and Les”.

MJ’s mum ‘to produce movies about his life’

Legendary singer Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine has reportedly struck a business deal to produce and distribute movies about the life of the late King of Pop.

According to TMZ, Jackson’s mother has hundreds of hours of video, including the family’s move from Gary, Indiana to Los Angeles after The Jackson 5 signed with Mowtown in 1968.

Howard Mann, who co-authored a book called ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’ with Katherine, is reported to have bought the rights to more videos of the King of Pop owned by his friend and business partner Marc Shaffel, reports the New York Post.

Katherine, 80, is reportedly involved in a business deal to produce and distribute several movies about the life of the legendary singer.

However, the late singer’s estate has the exclusive right to market the Michael’s name and image, which could put the movie plans in a tricky legal position, TMZ reported.

Elizabeth Edwards Wants to Channel Sandra Bullock

Having been through some of the worst possible events in her marriage, Elizabeth Edwards feels a connection to a fellow scorned wife, Sandra Bullock.

“I’m not just a cuckolded wife,” John Edwards’ ex tells Matt Lauer. “I think about Sandra Bullock – who I don’t know – what an incredible year she had.”

“She won an Academy Award for an incredible performance, and more than that, took that story and integrated it into her own life in a healthy happy way.”

The Blind Side star secretly adopted baby son Louis back in January, before learning that Jesse James cheated on her and filing to divorce her husband.

Which is part of Elizabeth’s problem – you hear more about the latter.

Mena Suvari ties the knot

Hollywood actress Mena Suvari has tied the knot with concert producer Simone Sestito.

The couple were married on Saturday in a private church in Vatican City, Italy, PEOPLE has confirmed.

“The ceremony was truly unique and Mena looked breathtaking,” says a guest. “They are very much in love.”

The two, who have been engaged since 2008, planned a private reception following their ceremony outside of the city.

Eclipse of the Heart

BEVERLY HILLSThe reminder stayed the same as it was late last year when Conversations sat down for one-on-ones with Robert Pattinson (the vampire), Kristen Stewart (the human) and Taylor Lautner (the werewolf) for the New Moon, the second in the series of the best-selling four-part novels by Stephenie Meyer.

That is: No personal questions, please. Stick to the movie. (Together, Robert and Kristen are known simply as Robsten.)

So two weeks ago when I again did one-on-ones with the three stars (along with a dozen of their co-stars…more on them soon!) for Eclipse, the second to the finale installment (before Breaking Dawn) of what is now more popularly known as the The Twilight Saga also in the same venue, the Four Seasons, I was extra-careful not to ask Pattinson (a.k.a. RPattz), 24, and Stewart (a.k.a. KStew), 20, if their romance is as real as it is in the reel. Taylor, 17, was more “game.” With a winsome, “werewolfish” smile, he allowed a little glimpse into his “personal” life such as how he got the beautiful body that has landed him on the cover of several magazines.

In Eclipse, megged by a new director (David Slade, 30 Days of Night, Hard Candy), Bella Swan (Stewart) once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, Bella is forced to choose between her love for Edward Cullen (Pattinson) and her friendship with Jacob Black (Taylor), knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her high-school graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.

The Death of Michael Jackson: One Year Later

Michael Jackson passed away a year ago today. He was 50. The year that followed has marked a celebration of his life, invigorating legions of fans old and new.

The past 12 months have also made clear that his life was as unusual as his career was successful. Personally and professionally, the icon truly had no peers.

Only Lady Gaga topped Michael Jackson in albums sold in 2009, an indication of his legacy. But the tragic, bizarre details of his demise are equally noteworthy.

On top of the immediate causes of his death, and the role of Dr. Conrad Murray, are lingering questions about how a star so bright fell so far from his past glory.
