SNL'S FUNNY TAKE ON SNOW WHITE & OTHER DISNEY PRINCESSES
Seems like you cannot turn on your television on or go to a theater for a movie without seeing a story about a fairytale.
Well last night, NBC/Universal's Saturday Night Live dipped their toe into the fairytale story telling with their take on Bravo TV's 'Real Housewives' series in their comedy skit about Disney's princesses called, 'The Real Housewives of Disney'.
SNL was hosted by Lindsay Lohan who played "Rapunzel". Kristen Wiig's "Cinderella" was outrageously funny being a "huge bleeping mess". It also features Snow White and the 7 dwarfs who is the "fairest one of all" until you cross her, Belle and Jazmine who were also hilarious.
As filming is underway, Director Ron Howard has been tweeting photos and providing insights to the filming of his film 'Rush'. He even gave a peek (or two) of Chris Hemsworth on set.
'Rush' will be distributed by Universal Pictures which will be one film in a 3-picture distribution deal with Cross Creek. Cross Creek which produced 'Black Swan' is producing and co-financing the film.
POTPORRI: 'AVENGERS' & 'PROMETHEUS' MAKE COLLIDER'S WEEKLY "TOP 5" - NEW IMAGES & MEET EVIL "PETER"
Here is a little round up of a bit of "this and that" for 'Avengers' and 'Promethus' fans.
First off, Collider listed their 'Top 5' newsmakers of the week with Chris Hemsworth's 'The Avengers' and Charlize Theron's 'Prometheus' making the cut. Also featured was Universal's 'The Lorax' which is getting huge buzz for this weekend's release.
'The Avengers' broke the iTunes record for the most viewed trailer on their site which was "viewed over 13.7 million times in the first 24 hours of its debut."
'The Avengers' is looking to be one of the biggest blockbusters of this summer. Below are screen captured images from the recently released trailer done by Collider. See all 40 of their hi-res images here.
Charlize Theron's 'Prometheus' also makes their list solely based upon actor Guy Pearce who will play the "villian corporate boss/CEO". According to Collider, 'Prometheus' released a "viral video" of Pearce's character, 'Peter Weyland'. It is extrodinary and Pearce is good in it. This video alone, sells the film.
Not to mention, with 'Prometheus' being released one week after SWATH, it will definitely be giving it a run for its money.
The video also gives another clue that this film could be or is an "Alien' prequel when Wheyland mentions the creation of "cybornetic individuals". This is a huge connection to 'Alien' because that is what Ian Holm's "Ash" was that film. Read more about the 'Alien' prequel controversy here.
View Pearce in the video below.
Lastly, Universal's 'The Lorax' also makes their list. The Hollywood Reporter has indicated that 'The Lorax' is projected to make at least $60 million dollars for its opening weekend. This would be the best opening for an animated film since 'Cars 2' opened last June to the tune of $66 million.
KRISTEN STEWART CONSIDERED ONE TEEN IDOL BELIEVING IN EQUALITY

You won't hear Kristen Stewart talk much about politics, but any fan of hers pretty much knows what she believes based upon her actions.
Starring in a made-for-television film called 'Speak' about "date rape" moved her to be involved with RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network). She also is involved with Shoe Revolt, which assists abuse of teens involved in sex trafficking.
With Kristen, words are not necessary when her actions speak just as loudly. She showed love for her fans with her actions under intense surroundings in Paris the other day. Anyone could see she was uncomfortable in recent photos where the paparazzi were screaming and clamoring for photos as she tried to greet her fans. Words were not needed, but if she spoke, we know they would have been kind...at least to the fans.
Gay South Florida listed Kristen as well as Aziz Ansari, Chris Colfer, Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, Dakota Fanning, Zac Efron and Josh Hutcherson as today's teen idols who have spoken up in support of standing up for equality for the LGBT community.
This is in contrast to former teen idol and 'Growing Pains' star Kirk Cameron. Cameron made an appearance on 'Pierce Morgan' recently showing a lack of tolerance and using pretty harsh words against the gay (LGBT) community.
Cameron spoke up about what he believes in but sometimes words can hurt. Read more about what Cameron said here.
