‘Prison Ramen’: Shia LaBeouf Reveals Jail Stories in New Book

Actor, Shia LaBeouf, wrote an essay about every time he was arrested.

The first time Shia LaBeouf was arrested he was only nine years old. Apparently, the aspiring actor stole a pair of sneakers.

He was arrested once again when he was eleven years old after stealing a Game Boy from Kmart.

So, Shia LaBeouf’s experience with the law is not an uncommon or new occurrence.

But, his recent public intoxication in Austin, Texas and viral videos saying he wants to kill his now ex-girlfriend, show that not much has changed in the last few years.

But, the actor wants to everyone to know his side of the story, at least his his experiences with getting arrested.

LaBeouf’s new book Prison Ramen, breaks down his recent criminal record.

“The third time I was 20, in Van Nuys, California. I tried to stab my neighbor and spent two days in jail. While I was there, I at least understood that being in jail is not the move. It sucks ass.” (Via E! online)

LaBeouf points out how jail sucks. Especially in Chicago.

“The fourth time I was in Chicago and I wouldn’t leave Walgreen’s, so I was taken to spend the night in jail. For some reason, I had the best sleep ever,” he writes. “The most recent time was 2014, when I was 28 and in New York City. I went to see the play Cabaret. I didn’t behave very well during the performance and ended up spending 25 hours or so behind bars…” (Via E! online)

Shia LaBeouf points out that his recent time behind bars he had an amazing egg sandwhich, and he adds the prison recipe in his new book.

Even though he points out how bad going to jail can be, he realized his past experiences helped make him the man who he is today.

“When I’m nervous in my creativity, I think of my failures in life and in art,” he admits. “Thinking about my screwups loosens the grip of fear. It’s freeing to f–k up and to recover.”

Despite, Shia LaBeouf’s recent hang ups with the law enforcement. Hollywood still regards LaBeouf as one of the best actors in the game. His latest feature film, Man Down, LaBeouf explained his “suicidal” acting technique.

Mickey Rourke’s Dog Saved Him From Killing Himself

Mickey Rourke reveals his dog kept him from committing suicide.

When Mickey Rourke was having a drought in his acting career the actor nearly committed suicide. But, luckily his dog was there to save his life.

Years before becoming a breakout hit in The Wrestler, during the mid-1990s, the leading man behind Diner and 9 1/2 Weeks was having a hard time. He was nominated for several Razzie Awards and had a struggling boxing career.

Recently, Rourke told reporters at the premiere of the documentary Eating Happiness, “I was going through a really rough time.” He continued, “I was hurting myself and I was sitting in the closet one day. I couldn’t take it anymore and picked up a gun.”

But, what stopped him from pulling the trigger? It was his dog.

“I was deciding what part of my head to put it on and my dog, Beau Jack, he [cried] and I looked over and he looked up at me like this and… he said [with his eyes], ‘Who’s going to look after me?’ And it made me put the gun down. I was ready to go.” (Via)

This is not the first time Rourke expressed his compassion for dogs. In a 2008 interview with The New York Times, he described his home having photos of “dogs everywhere,” including Beau Jack, the dog Rourke rescuved when he collapsed in 2002.

At the Eating Happiness premiere, the actor said, “I get along better with dogs than I do with people.”

Jon Stewart Lands Four Year Deal With HBO for Exclusive Content

Jon Stewart lands a major deal with HBO.

The Daily Show alumni will now create digital content for the premium cable company, HBO and HBO’s HBO Go, and HBO Now, according to reports.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jon Stewart has signed a four-year production deal with HBO and will start creating new short-form digital content for the network

From THR:

“Jon Stewart led a revolution that changed the face of TV comedy on the Daily Show,” said HBO programming president Michael Lombardo in a release announcing the news Tuesday. “He graced our network nearly 20 years ago, so we’re thrilled to welcome back his immense talents in this next chapter of his career.”

Added Stewart: “Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me. I’m pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again.”

Jon Stewart has been keeping his career on the down low since he quit The Daily Show after 16 years.

There is no word as to what Jon Stewart plans on releasing. Reports suggest that he is working worth a cloud-graphics company OTOY, Inc to develop short-form digital content.

However, he does have a long history of providing content that reaches a millennial audience.

For example, his comments on the Charleston Shooting and reasoning behind leaving The Daily Show were topics of discussion around every water cooler across America.

Georgia’s Film Industry Faces Major Film Crew Shortage

Georgia’s growing film industry is facing a major up hill battle, as new report suggests that there is a major crew shortage.

According to the Wall Street Journal, there is a huge demand for crew workers because of the lack of qualified, trained and skilled workers and the large number of productions filming simultaneously.

According to the report, producers were asked last year about the number and quality of Georgia’s film and TV workers. About 50% of producers were unable to hire all the workers they needed to work on their productions locally.

“Every time there is volume, there is an issue of crew,” said Gideon Amir, a movie and television producer who works in Atlanta on the show “Devious Maids” and other projects. He noted that the quality of available workers doesn’t always meet producers’ standards.

Which leads to constant work for people that are qualified in the film industry, as the WSJ points out.

But, it is important to point why Hollywood is pushing for more local crew members in Atlanta, Georgia. It is all about the money.

CBS Films, hired more than 200 below-the-line workers for “The Duff” shoot. Regional demand is so high that Georgia’s training initiative will be well-received by Hollywood. “If you build it, they will come,” she said.

Union salary for crew workers is a lot higher than non-union workers. And Georgia, a Right to Work State, features hundreds of non-union workers at the producers’ disposal.

The union salary for a “grip” who works with a camera crew can start at nearly $38 an hour in California. The same position, unionized through the local chapter, pays about $26 an hour in Georgia. Taking into account union and pension contributions, labor costs for that position in Georgia are about 25% lower than in California.

But, this should not come as a surprise for those following Georgia’s film industry. Last July, during a meeting between representatives for the film and television industry told state officials that they regularly struggle to find crews in Georgia and have to hire staff from other states.

From WSBTV:

Projects have struggled to find construction crews, grip and electric teams and special effects, especially for television teams facing a deadline of only a few weeks, said Craig McNeil, production executive at NBC’s cable arm Universal Cable Productions.

McNeil is midway through shooting the first season of “Satisfaction” in Georgia and said the number of projects shooting simultaneously in the state can make it difficult to fully staff.

It is important to point out that one of the biggest producers in Georgia has even complained of the lack of qualified crew members.

David Grant, vice president of physical production for Marvel Studios, called the state’s incentive program one of, if not the best, in the U.S.

But Marvel has struggled to find the experienced and trained special effects technicians, specialty costumers and stunt team members especially important to an action hero production, Grant said.

When they can’t hire locally, crew members have to be flown in from California, he said.

“We’ve found because Georgia is so busy, some of the advantages of being here via the incentive are wiped away because of the amount of people we have to bring in,” he said.

But, Georgia reportedly has a plan to solve this issue. Georgia State University is building a new media production center in downtown Atlanta. The Savannah College of Art and Design has expanded the number of film-related courses, and the Atlanta Media Campus Studios is planning on building on-site classrooms to teach people the ins and outs of filmmaking.

‘Empire’s Co-Creator Reveals His Past Struggle with Crack Cocaine, Skipping Film School

Lee Daniels is a major hit in Hollywood. Ever since, The Butler, the director has turned the TV industry upside down with Empire. 

Now, in a recent interview with Indiewire.com, Lee Daniels shared details about working in Hollywood. For example, Lee Daniels never went to film school.

“My experience as a filmmaker started on the sets when I was managing actors. Because I hadn’t gone to film school, I had to hustle. I managed actors in theater,” Daniels explained. “I studied ADs and I studied costumers and production designers, so I wasn’t technical with the camera, that seemed like Saturn to me, but I understood the human condition and I understood people. So that was a key. I also understood writing. So I think I learned on the way. My film school was really on the ground, with managing actors, studying great directors and then hiring directors who I was able to tell exactly what I wanted.”

In addition, Daniels reveals that getting cast on a movie or TV show of his is not a walk in the park. In fact, he argues that he pushes his actors extremely hard. “So I’m really hard on my actors, I have a terrible reputation for demanding the best from them. Because I’m hard on myself.”

LeeDaniels

But, one of the most surprising parts of the interview was the fact that he was once a crack addict.

His first movie was Monster’s Ball, the same movie that allowed for Halle Berry to win an Academy Award. Instead of attending the Academy Awards, the director was in a “dark place”.

“My first movie was ‘Monster’s Ball’ and Halle Berry won the Academy Award. And because I was still in a darker place, I was at the Chateau Marmont and I was watching her on the TV, I was crying,” Daniels said. “Then she called me and she said, ‘Big daddy, big daddy, are you coming to the Vanity Fair party?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll be there,’ and I picked up my crack pipe, I was there with a prostitute, I think, and I realized I didn’t deserve to be there.”

Whoa.

Lee Daniels also went on to explain the new series Star, a brand new show about a group of aspiring Atlanta singers interested in joining the music industry.

Daniels starts out by explaining the inspiration behind Star:

“I just wanted to do a musical. I did ‘Empire,’ but then wanted to not repeat myself, so I got this girl, the lead girl who plays Star and she’s white trash and she looks like Anna Nicole Smith and she has a voice like Amy Winehouse,” Daniels explained. “She’s that chick that you can really trust, she’s that bitch.”

Daniels continues by explaining that what he plans to do with the new series, Star.

“So it’s her and her half-sister who is black and they’re in foster care homes, they were ripped apart from their mother. But they sing and they have a dream,” he continued. “They reunite with another black girl who’s this daughter of a billionaire, but she doesn’t want any of his money. Her dad is like Lenny Kravitz had Oprah’s money. But she wants to do it on her own. So these three girls go on a road trip.”

He explains that surviving a heart attack, the HIV crisis, and making it in Hollywood makes him feel as though he is a survivor and keeps him working so hard. “I don’t get it, I really don’t get it.

So much so that I went out and did drugs to figure out why I didn’t get it. And then had a heart attack and kept going because I didn’t understand.”

Model Reveals the Dark Truth to Being Instagram Famous

Social media famous model reveals the dark side to being Instagram famous. “Social media allowed me to profit off deluding people”

Essena O’Neill, from Queensland, Australia, had over 500,000 Instagram followers and more than 250,000 YouTube subscribers when she decided to quit being a “social media celebrity”.

Essena O’Neill said she would spend over 50 hours a week answering questions on Tumblr, posting photos on Instagram, creating YouTube videos and sharing workouts. ‘Social media allowed me to profit off deluding people,’ she added.

After years of working on social media constructing a model like lifestyle, Ms. O’Nell, who will turn 19-years-old today, said she grew tired of creating an illusion her online profile.

In reality, the modeling work left her feeling empty and unfulfilled, she said.

‘Without realising, I’ve spent majority of my teenage life being addicted to social media, social approval, social status and my physical appearance. Social media, especially how I used it, isn’t real,’ she wrote.

‘It’s a system based on social approval, likes, validation in views, success in followers. It’s perfectly orchestrated self absorbed judgement.’

The teen has deleted all of her 2,000 photos from her social media account. She has also vowed to “expose the harsh” and the “reality behind the instafamous culture”

She has revealed how much she made for certain instagram photos, how much make up she was wearing during certain photo shoots, and how much she stopped eating.

In addition, she revealed she would often times purchase formal clothing even though she was not going anywhere. “‘I didn’t pay for the dress, took countless photos trying to look hot for Instagram, the formal made me feel incredibly alone”

Essena O'Neil

It is important to point out that being a instagram celebrity is quite profitable. She explained that she was paid $400to post a dress, $2,000 to support for a certain tea brand.

‘Only reason we went to the beach this morning was to shoot these bikinis because the company paid me and also I looked good to society’s current standards. I was born and won the genetic lottery,’ she wrote on another.

The 18-year-old model revealed that she only posted videos and photos with the ‘sole purpose’ of getting likes and views. And now she decided she didn’t want other young girls from experiencing the same issue.

‘If you find yourself looking at “Instagram girls” and wishing your life was there’s… Realise you only see what they want,’ she wrote.

Essena O’Neil says she hopes to initiaite a movement where an person’s worth is not defined by social media or physical appearance.

HBO may have postponed Game of Thrones season 6 to a later release date.

If you were patiently waiting for season 6 of Game of Thrones, you may have to wait a little bit longer.

Instead of the typical late March release date, the season 6 of HBO drama may not be released until late April, according to reports.

However, there is a bright side to this bad news, George R.R. Martin’s next book, The Winds of Winter, may be released before season 6 even premieres on HBO.

Game of Thrones season six began filming in July.

This news of a late release comes as reports surfaced of a possible Game of Thrones movie.

George R.R. Martin told reporters, “There will be a movie but I will not be involved. I have too much to do. That is something HBO and (executive producers) DB (D.B. Weiss) and David (Benioff) are dealing with. I have two more books to finish and I still have so much to do. The pressure is on. I am such a slow writer and the fans get upset that I don’t write faster.”

‘The Shining’: Grady Sisters Were Rejected from Taking Acting Classes

The Grady sisters reveal what it was like working on set of The Shining.

The Shining is regarded as one of the scariest movies in recent history.

The Horror movie featured Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd. The feature film helped establish Jack Nicholson and director Stanley Kubrick in Hollywood.

But, in a recent Daily Mail interview with the twins, Lisa and Louise Burns, the actors who played the Grady daughters, revealed that The Shining ruined their acting career in Hollywood.

The Burns sisters revealed that casting as Grady daughters was an accident, as Stanley Kubrick never wanted to use twin sisters. In fact, the sisters were turned down by several acting schools be cause they were in the movie.

The sisters also revealed what it was like working with Jack Nicholson.

‘Jack was a big film star at the time but he never acted like a big film star and never had any tantrums or said, “I’m too big for this”, he really never ran the fame game at all,’ said Lisa.

‘We’d see Jack acting on set and he wasn’t anything like his character in reality.

‘For Jack, it was like putting on a mask. One minute he would be completely normal and then suddenly he would be Jack Torrance.

‘Jack is a brilliant method actor who is so comfortable with his own identity that he can afford to let it wash away.’

The Grady sisters also debunked rumors about Stanley Kubrick’s treatment towards the actors on set.

In the years since The Shining was released bizarre stories about life on set have fueled rumors claiming actress Duvall was tormented so badly by Kubrick that her hair fell out and she became ill and lost weight, but Lisa and Louise disagree.

‘All those rumors were complete rubbish and totally unfounded. There’s been a theory that violence on screen meant violence on set, but we now know that is not true at all,’ says Lisa.

Today, Lisa is a lawyer and Louise is a published scientist. Since The Shining was released over 30 years ago, it has become one of the most quoted horror movies of all time, with rememberable scenes such as Jack Nicholson’s “Here’s Johnny”.

Georgia’s Film Industry: Over 200 Productions Filmed in 2015

Georgia’s film industry is now ranked 3rd in the world.

With over 30 movies and TV shows currently filming in Georgia, it is hard to deny that Georgia has one of the biggest film industries in the world.

On Tuesday, SCAD held a panel discussion on the current state of the film industry in Georgia and many of the panelists agreed that are going well for the Peach State.

“The incentive program started in 2008 and it has been a landslide,” said Craig Miller from the Georgia Production Partnership.

From WSAV:

Miller says it’s resulted in the building of 13 film studios.  He says in 2015, 240 films, television programs and music videos were all produced in Georgia, putting the state behind only New York and Los Angeles in terms of the number of productions.

In comparison, Louisiana’s once thriving film industry is struggling to compete with Georgia. According to Louisiana Film Industry website, LouisianaEntertainment.gov, there are only five movies and TV shows filming in Louisiana.

Meanwhile, North Carolina, a state that used to be Georgia’s biggest competition, only features four TV shows and movies.

But, Georgia’s feature film industry may be in trouble. Recently, Australia granted a 40% tax incentive to feature films that decide to film in Queensland, Australia. Since that announcement, Marvel’s Thor and several other feature films are expected to film on the Gold Coast. It is important to keep in mind that Thor was supposed to film in Georgia.

Atlanta Cheating Scandal Movie Coming Soon Staring Michael B. Jordan

Hollywood is turning Atlanta’s Public School cheating scandal into a movie.

According to the New York Times, Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler, the team behind Fruitvale Station and Creed are turning the standardized cheating scandal that rattled Atlanta’s education system two years .

The project is still in development so details are not clear, but according to the New York Times, Michael B. Jordan will star in “Wrong Answer.”

Michael B. Jordan is currently playing the real-life lawyer Bryan Stevenson in “Just Mercy” a drama directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from Short Term 12. 

Back in 2013, five teachers a principal and five educators were indicted following years of cheating. The indictment came as Atlanta students drastically improved their scores on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test, a standardized test administered by the state of Georgia.

Recently, 11 of the 12 educators were convicted of racketeering, a felony that can put these Atlanta educators behind bars for 20 years in prison. Many were convicted of other charges that could even lengthen their sentences.

It all started when the AJC began publishing articles in 2009 about the standardized test scores, which prompted Governonr Sonny Perdue to open an investigation into the matter. Two years later, the investigation found that cheating took place in at least 44 different schools and that one of Georgia’s major school districts had been seriously affected with “organized and systemic misconduct.”

Michael B. Jordan is expected to play an Atlanta schoolteacher caught in the middle of the scandal, according to the New York Times.

A giant Pumpkin balloon bounces through Arizona terrifying children and ruining Halloween.

Halloween isn’t the same without candy, costumes and pumpkins. But, one pumpkin has gone wild in Peoria, Arizona.

According to multiple reports, a 25-foot tall, 350 pound inflatable pumpkin got on the loose “bouncing like a basketball”.

“I was so shocked to see that it was like bouncing like a basketball all the way down the road,” Patrick Sparkes with Big AZ Promotions, the pumpkin’s owner, told local 12News.

The pumpkin was to be used for a local party but, it broke free after storm winds. Following nearly hour long search, the pumpkin was found in a park. The pumpkin was later deflated.

This is not the first time an inflatable balloon got loose. Just a few days ago the JLENS blimp broke free of its tether in Maryland and floated all the way to Pennsylvania where it finally collapsed onto the ground.

I smell a movie idea…the rise of the haunted balloons.

Here are 8 times celebrities went too far for Halloween.

If you look towards celebrities to figure out what to wear this Halloween, you better beware. Halloween is known for offending millions of people and here are a list of celebrities who have gone a little too far during the festive season.

1. Hedi Klum as Godess Kali

Hedi Klum is known for her over the top costumes. But in 2008, she went as the Goddess Kali which caused quite a backlash. With many people accusing her for “using the religion for decoration or to advance her selfish agenda.” In fact, Hindu-American leaders demanded an apology.

2. Colton Haynes as Kanye West

Arrow’s Colton Haynes has a history of dressing up in blackface. In fact, one year he dressed up as Kanye West and the next year he dressed up as Gandi.

3. Julianne Hough as Crazy Eyes

Julianne Hough is another celebrity who decided it was smart to dress up in blackface. But, would later offer an apology:

I am a huge fan of the show Orange is the New black, actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created. It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I truly apologize.

4. Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick as “Sheik Pussy”

The Kardashians showed their true colors when Disick dressed as an Arab Sheik and Khloe instagrammed it with the captaion “Sheik Pussy.” She would later comment on the issue during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians:

“I just wrote “Sheik Pussy.” Wait, what’s wrong with it? I don’t understand. Nothing is nice so far, what is happening?!”

Many people found that the costume was culturally inappropriate.

5. Chris Brown as the Taliban

Chris Brown thought it would be a good idea to pretend to be a terrorist. One year he dressed up as a member of the Taliban and he even tried to justify his reasoning to Hollywood Life:

“It’s Halloween and people can be whoever the f**k they want to be. That’s the whole point. It’s a costume. We all didn’t mean no disrespect by dressing up as Arabs. Nobody ain’t mention s**t about no Taliban or nothing like that. We just went out, put on a costume and had some fun. Damn, it’s too early in the day to be talking about drama and s**t like that. It’s f**king Halloween and all that really matters is that he had a good time and came out and supported Rihanna and made a big a** donation to her charity. Talk about that instead of a stupid costume.”

6. Adrianne Curry as Amy Winehouse

America’s Next Top Model winner, Adrianne Curry, thought it was a good idea to dress up as the late Amy Winehouse.

7. Ashley Benson as Cecil the Lion

Ashley Benson’s costume as Cecil the Lion was so offensive that she had to post an apology on Instagram. Blaming her management for using an improper title, she donated to money to the World Wildlife Fund to apologize.

8. Snooki as a milk carton

Thirty years ago people used to advertise their missing children on the side of a milk carton in the hope that it would help find their kids. So, naturally, when people saw Snooki’s costume people found it extremely insensitive.

Kid’s Pablo Escobar Halloween Costume Has the Internet Going Crazy

Internet is going crazy after seeing a kid version of Pablo Escobar.

Someone decided to dress up this little kid up as the notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, complete with a tacky Hawaiian shirt, parted curly hair, mustache, a tiny gun, and a briefcase full of money.

The adults at the party seem really entertained. Especially as the kid even fist bumps other adults. The website, Break, also found this pretty funny, posting the video on Facebook with the caption, “Little Pablo Escobar runs the biggest fun size Snickers cartel…”

However, as The Latin Times points out, many commenters found this extremely offensive. “I can’t wait to dress my children up in the most offensive, inappropriate costumes ever. I want at least 10 phone calls to Social Services questioning my parenting abilities,” writes one Facebook user.

“I do not think this is funny. Pablo Escobar is tied to murdering thousands people (many of them innocent),” writes another, who then binge-watches Netflix’s Narcos, to research the damage Escobar did the Columbian people.

Ultimately, this poor kid has NO idea what is going on and is probably extremely confused as to why everyone is laughing at him and his minature briefcase.

‘John Wick 2’ is now filming in New York City.

Production for the upcoming Keanu Reeves thriller is now underway in Brookyln, New York City, according to Movieweb.com.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Lionsgate sequel to John Wick 2 brought in a new actor, with Common signing on, and original John Wick leading man Ian McShane reprising his role as Winston.

The report also revealed production was about to start this week, and it turns out that filming is now underway in NYC.

Details as to how long the shoot is expected to last have not been revealed but, filming will take place in Brookyln, New York. Which makes sense, since the first John Wick also filmed in Brooklyn, including the Brooklyn Park Bridge and the world famous Haru Sushi restaurant.

Keanu Reeves is set to reprise his leading role as John Wick, with Common set to play the primary villain, the head of security for a female crime syndicate. John Wick 2 may also bring back Lance Reddick, Adrianne Palicki, Bridget Moynahan, Jason Isaacs and Alfie Allen.

Lionsgate has not officially announced a release date for John Wick 2 yet, but it may be ready for a late 2016 release depending on how long production will take.

Chad Stahelski, who directed the original John Wick, is returning to direct John Wick 2, although he will be directing a solo feature film.

Previously, Stahelski teamed up with David Leitch in the first John Wick movie. Both filmmakers had planned to film the sequel as a duo, but the two filmmakers decided to take a break and split up.

John Wick centered around a retired assassin who returns back to work after a hitmen kill his dog, the last gift from his dead wife. John Wick earned nearly $80 million worldwide off of a $20 million budget.
