Mission: Hollywood - fire up the Wayback Machine

Fame in Hollywood is a rare, valuable and dangerous animal. Once you’ve captured and tamed it, you’ve got to feed it ’til it’s full or as surely as the parking valet is rifling your ashtray for cash, that beast will turn on you. No real assignment for you this week, Hollywood, but feel free to subtitle this Mission: Hollywood as either MIP - Missing in Publicity or, perhaps, “Where aren’t they now?”:
We do so miss the Jerk- All of Me- L.A. Story-Steve Martin. You know, the edgy, hilarious one? And he’s doing a great job fulfilling his Pink Panther publicity duties, but c’mon - we’re all a bit nervous about how this one’s going to shake out, right? Here’s at least one media pundit who remembers Martin as “hysterical,” “visionary,” “a genius”…and then compares him to red-hot-with-relevance Andy Williams.
What happened to all the love for Gwyneth Paltrow? Wasn’t it just yesterday when she was enjoying her status as Critical Darling and Media Star? Now she’s generating more cyberink not making movies each time she decides to tell us what idiots we Americans are and, strangely, in nearly the next breath, criticize the speech patterns of her daft adopted countryblokes. It’s hard to understand this kind of poor judgement from someone who’s won a curse Oscar…eh, never mind. Think we just answered our own question.
Okay, Val Kilmer, we’re sorry. We’re sorry we ever thought/said/ reported/whispered that you were a pain to work with. And we’re sorry we stopped seeing your movies. We promise that we’ll start treating you better, so forgive us, okay? Great, so can you please, PLEASE never let us see this kind of thing again? Go ahead and hang loose, have some fun, and maybe these pics aren’t even you - but try to remember that you’re a celebrity and people with cameras like to watch you, okay? Or maybe they’re just watching the (fill in the derogative noun of your choice here) that you happen to be doing it with.
Hey, remember that vaguely psycho, macho chick who beat up a couple of Terminators? Well, a handful of barely-seen projects later, and Linda Hamilton may be starring in the new series Thief premiering on FX next month. Not that you can find a lick of information to that effect; she’s briefly seen in the promos but the Thief Web site is leaner than a dieting Sarah Connor when it comes to information.
Good news! You can stop wondering whatever happened to your favorite Sweathog and let the Miracle of the Internet slake your late 70s thirst (via Bedazzled). But click cautiously, else you stumble (as we did, foul links!) across the page subtitled “Pimping with Tyne [Daley]“. Time to boil our eyeballs!
Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (
