Ed Burns Contemplating Bar Venture

Ed Burns Contemplating Bar Venture

Actor and moviemaker Ed Burns is contemplating becoming a bar owner - so he will always have an easy location shoot for his films.
The Brothers MCMullen director and star's character owns a bar in his latest film, The Fitzgerald Family Christmas, and he admits it sparked an idea.
Burns tells Wenn, "I'm thinking I should become a bar owner for no other reason than to use for locations for my movies.
"I've thought about it for years but I've never got around to exploring what that would take. It's enough work trying to write and direct and mount one of these films every year that I'm afraid becoming the owner of a bar would probably become a distraction."
If he was to follow his dream, Burns wouldn't be the only star to take over a bar - Channing Tatum recently opened Saints & Sinners in New Orleans, Jay Z owns New York bar and club 40/40 and Sex & The City star Chris Noth is set to re-open his Cutting Room bar in the Big Apple in the coming months.

Angus T. Jones apologises

Angus T. Jones apologises

Angus T. Jones has released a statement in which he praises the cast of and crew of 'Two And A Half Men', just days after he slammed the show as ''filth''.

Angus T. Jones is ''grateful for the extraordinary opportunity'' to star in 'Two And A Half Men'.

The 19-year-old actor - who recently filmed a video urging people not to watch the show because it goes against his religious beliefs - released a statement to apologise to the cast and crew if he offended them.

In the statement released to gossip website Fastmazaa.blogspot.com , he said: ''I have been the subject of much discussion, speculation and commentary over the past 24 hours.

While I cannot address everything that has been said or right every misstatement or misunderstanding, there is one thing I want to make clear. Without qualification, I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on Two and Half Men with whom I have worked and over the past ten years who have become an extension of my family.

''Chuck Lorre, Peter Roth and many others at Warner Bros. and CBS are responsible for what has been one of the most significant experiences in my life to date. I thank them for the opportunity they have given and continue to give me and the help and guidance I have and expect to continue to receive from them.

''I also want all of the crew and cast on our show to know how much I personally care for them and appreciate their support, guidance and love over the years. I grew up around them and know that the time they spent with me was in many instances more than with their own families. I learned life lessons from so many of them and will never forget how much positive impact they have had on my life.

''I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed. I never intended that (sic).''

It is believed Angus' role on the show is safe despite the outburst in a video to promote Forerunner Christian Church which where he called 'Two And A Half Men' ''filth''.

Elizabeth Hurley's fiancé Shane Warne contributes to her swimwear line.
The actress-and-model consults the Australian cricketer on her luxury beachwear collection and says he gives her confidence to model the line.
She told Fastmazaa : ''I always ask Shane for his opinion on the colours and prints and always take them on board. The first time I went to stay with him in Australia must have been an eye opener as I arrived with a suitcase of Lycra and silk swatches and covered his entire drawing room with them.''
Elizabeth, 47, added Shane is ''terrific'' at encouraging her to model the skimpy outfits herself.
She said: ''Shane is terrific at making me feel good about myself and is extremely supportive in every way.''
The 'Bedazzled' star feels her latest collection is bolder and has pieces for women of all shapes and sizes.
She said: ''We have used more prints and more bright colours in this collection. We've already virtually sold out of everything purple and our peacock print has also been a best seller. I'm in love with purple - whether it's in the home or in fashion - and am glad that others seem to agree.
''We have itsy-bitsy bikinis as well as great cover-ups and one-pieces. We're very mindful of the fact that most of us have areas we want to minimise, so we have plenty of kaftans and sarongs that cover your bottom, your arms and your tummy.''
