cityfile · 08/31/09 06:06AM

• DJ AM's overdose on Friday appears to have been accidental, according to law enforcement sources who spoke with TMZ. It seems the celeb DJ, who claimed he'd been sober for 11 years, only started using drugs again after he was prescribed anti-anxiety and pain meds following his plane crash last year. [TMZ, NYDN]
• Those rumors that Chelsea Clinton plans to marry boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky in Martha's Vineyard this summer are heating up again. A large tent and stage have been set up in the area, although no one's sure if it's for the Clinton wedding. [P6]

Benicio Del Toro, English Entrails Star in Stirring New 'Wolfman' Clip

STV · 07/30/08 05:30PM

With the hazy, nut-hugging memory of Comic-Con thankfully behind it, the world has begun to take stock of the actual news that came out of San Diego last weekend. But perhaps the biggest story broke today as an erstwhile fanboy overcame his quivering long enough to capture this preview of The Wolfman, Benicio Del Toro's riff on the hairy horror classic. The (mildly spoiling) touchstones are all there for a hit in the making: tortured brooder Del Toro slashing top-hatted limeys; Anthony Hopkins's furrowed, torch-lit brow; Hugo Weaving getting out of a carriage; Emily Blunt in soft-focus peril; and surprisingly grisly flashes of the title character's prey. Seriously, this looks pretty good (the movie, not the video) but don't get us wrong — it's no Red Sonja. Really, though, what is? Judge for yourself after the jump. [TrailerAddict via /Film]

Michael Bublé Can't Even Get A Date With His Own Girlfriend

Emily Gould · 05/31/07 08:15AM

"Corny crooner Michael Bublé isn't entirely the ladies' man he fancies himself to be," writes Page Six. "The never-bashful balladeer was spotted 'boasting to anyone who would listen' in the bar at the Hotel Costes K in Paris the other night, 'wearing this ridiculous vest and bragging to everyone about how women fall all over him and how amazing he is,' our witness reports. But when he tried out his moves by flirting with Emily Blunt, who was also at the hotel, he completely struck out." Huh! Maybe Emily Blunt was "also at the hotel" because she and Michael have been dating for almost three years now. Maybe his flirty-moves have gotten stale or something.
