Three Men And A Baby 3rd instalment in the pipeline

June 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment

London, June 4 (ANI): Tom Selleck has admitted that there is a sequel in the offing for the movie ‘Three Men and a Baby’.

The 65-year-old actor starred in the 1987 film along with Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg and followed it up with ‘Three Men And A Little Lady’ in 1990.

The third part, evidently, is titled ‘Three Men And A Bride’.

“It is true that Disney checked my availability, and I know they checked Ted”s and Steve”s, and then had a script written, I think tentatively called Three Men And A Bride, which kind of says it all,” The Mirror quoted him as telling MTV.

Steve had revealed last year that another movie might be in the works.

Tom added, “I hope it”s a good script, and if it is a good script I hope they do it, because it would be really fun to get back with Ted and Steve. The strongest of the two movies I think is the first one. It had more heart, and that”s what I hope this third one would have if we do it.” (ANI)

May 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

New York, May 12 (ANI): A video of pop singer/actress Miley Cyrus giving film director Adam Shankman a lap dance, which is said to be “very inappropriate”, is making its rounds.

According to RadarOnline.com, the tape shows Cyrus, 17, giving Shankman, 45, a risqué lap dance during their film’s wrap party last year.

“The video was taken about seven months ago at a wrap party for ‘The Last Song’,” the New York Daily News quoted a source as saying.

“The worst part is that there were little kids at the party and the dancing between Miley and Adam was so dirty that some of the parents actually left the party and took their kids home,” the source said.

The video reportedly shows Shankman, an openly gay man, with a drink in hand as he grinds up against Cyrus’ backside on the dance floor, while she grinds back as well.

The Disney star, then 16, then turns around and seductively opens the top layer of her shirt, teasing Shankman with her flirty dance moves. (ANI)

The Twilight star has said that she couldn’t have handled the pressures during her adolescence.
