  • Mrs. Doubtfire Sequel Won’t Feature At Least One Actress from the Original

    If and when the Mrs. Doubtfire sequel finally comes together, there’s one actress from the original film that most likely won’t be involved.

    Mara Wilson, who played little Natalie in the 1993 hit, has taken to Twitter to state that she does not, nor will she have anything to do with the sequel. It’s a run-by fruiting!

    “For the record, no, I do not have anything to do with the Mrs. Doubtfire sequel, nor will I,” she says. “I’m glad I had the chance to be in it, and I’m proud of what we did, but I don’t see how we could do it again. There are many, many reasons I don’t want to be in Mrs. Doubtfire 2. But they haven’t even asked me (yet), so no need to worry.”

    It appears that the Matilda actress isn’t really a fan of sequels in general, unless they were planned from the beginning. I guess something like the Lord of the Rings trilogy would be OK in her book.

    No word from Matthew Lawrence. Yet.

    In case you missed the news, The Hollywood Reporter says that a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel is in the works at Fox 2000 studios, with Robin Williams and director Chris Columbus both attached. According to THR, the guy who wrote Elf, David Berenbaum, is writing the script.

    A “Mrs. Doubtfire 2” was tossed about way back in the early 2000s, but momentum quickly died. A lot of people really love this movie, so it’ll be interesting to see the reaction to a sequel going forward. I see strong opinions, how bout you?

  • James Blunt Quitting Music Headline Draws Twitter Snark

    Having worked in a restaurant with a repeating musical track list during the height of James Blunt mania, I probably heard his hit song “You’re Beautiful” more than the average person. And that’s saying a lot, considering it was everywhere in 2005. Despite being voted one of the most annoying pop songs by Rolling Stone, the track had huge success on the charts and was certified 2x Platinum in the U.S. Say what you want about the song, but you can’t say that it wasn’t popular.

    I’ll refrain from comment.

    Today, James Blunt is in the news not for a new album but because he recently told The Daily Mail that he may be qutting music. Well, kind of.

    “I just want to take some time out for myself…I haven’t got any plans to do more songwriting.”

    Although the quotes hint to a break more than a curtain call, The Daily Mail slapped the story with the word “retire” and it set off a Twitter firestorm. Of course, complete accuracy and context means nothing on Twitter when it comes to pop culture rumors. And because of the network’s ability to take a story and run with it, with a complete disregard to its veracity, we get to reap the benefits in the form of funny tweets. And while this story has much more truth behind it than a celebrity death rumor, Twitter users seem sure that he’ll never pick up an instrument again.

    Twitter users aren’t being very beautiful to Blunt, to put it bluntly. Check out some of the best:

    The artist did post this cryptic Facebook update referencing the Mail article:
