No Go for Gnomeo & Juliet by amit

C&V is always abreast on the latest animated news. Earlier we posted exclusive screen shots of the Paris Hilton animated series, and now we have some startling news on the Elton John cartoon film from Reuters. It’s been nixed! The animated musical tentatively titled, Gnomeo & Juliet, was set to include songs from the fabulous singer/songwriter but execs over at Disney ended production after it was rumored to be “not fruity enough.” What could have actually caused Disney, the “happiest” place on Earth, to end Elton John’s star-crossed flick? He’s more than proven himself with 1994’s Lion King. Was it his recent marriage? Or Elton’s life-long affection for the pant-less Donald Duck (see inset pic)? Only God and Rafiki, the wise baboon, know.

Mo’Nique Hungers To “Keep It Real” by amit

Mo’Nique is the new big girl to go to for poking fun at cookie-consuming, gravy gargling gals. So, the NY Daily News sat down with the star of the the new Fox comedy Phat Girlz during her third dinner for a few comments. Mo-Mo said on Star Jones, “…come on home. We miss you. We want to give you back your fat-girl card!” and added that she “liked Oprah chunkier.” Kudos to Mo’Nique for shoutin’ out to her formerly gigantic friends.

And now C&V presents images from her upcoming movie Phat Girlz. And if you’re daring, see the full trailer in 1080 pixels and pounds of HD quality.
