DOUBLE SCOOP: Taylor Lautner and Chace Crawford at Teen Choice:
WHICH BLAIR?: A new sequel will follow 1999's smash hit The Blair Witch Project. The filmmakers Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick told the BBC. Although the two had producer creds on the follow up film, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, they distanced themselves from that film because of concerns.
Myrick said: "We felt a little betrayed because we wanted to let the Blair Witch hype die down a little because it was so out of control and there was a bit of a backlash.
"But they wanted to strike while the iron was hot and they went ahead and made the movie for what we thought were all the wrong reasons. We felt that the story of that movie broke the mythology."
Sánchez added: "We don't feel too responsible for that movie, because we had very little to do with it once we stated our objection to where it was headed. At the same time, it does have the Blair Witch name on it."
Regarding a new sequel, Sanchez continued: "Ideally, each Blair Witch film would be a completely different kind of movie. We've thought about doing a film that takes place in the late 1700s and looks like a [Stanley] Kubrick movie with gritty-looking people and lighting.
"But now, we're thinking about going back and and seeing what happened directly after the first film finished. I think it will have some kind of video element in it, but it won't be a first person hand-held movie."

SUDSY: All of the All My Children cast have been given one week to decide if they are on board for the move to Los Angeles. The soaper announced a while back production was moving to the West Coast from NYC.
Last week, ABC Daytime president Brian Frons informed the cast of the move and reportedly told them that the programme will go with or without its stars.
While a handful of current names including Aiden Turner (Aidan Devane), Melissa Claire Egan (Annie Lavery) and Jacob Young (JR Chandler) have decided to move with the series, the remainder of the show's 24-member cast are yet to make a final decision about their futures.
"I'm not sure what I'm going to do," Thorsten Kaye (Zach Slater) told the New York Daily News. "I'm not the kind of dad who wants to be 3,000 miles away from my kids. And it's not exactly the best time to sell real estate."
All My Children icon Susan Lucci (Erica Kane) refused to confirm whether or not she is planning to move to Los Angeles.
"For everyone involved, big decisions have to be made," she told Live! With Regis and Kelly. "I'm a New Yorker and I love, love, love New York. I don't know what I'm going to do. I am trying to wrap my mind around it.
"Clearly, I love All My Children. I want very, very much to be able to… I just don't know how yet. It's all still very new."
Meanwhile, Canada's TV Guide reports that the soap's veteran actors are planning a revolt in order to keep it at its current home.
"We're all banding together and threatening to quit to keep the show in New York," the unnamed star told column The Suds Report.

Yeah right...good luck with that..those producers will think of nothing and fire all of you and replace all your asses once in L.A.
DROOLING FOR PARTS: Paula Abdrool will have guests spots on Ugly Betty and Drop Dead Diva, that is our friend Josh Berman's show. It has been a knock-out hit for Lifetime. Way to go Joshy!!
Yesterday, Paula was seen taking a meeting all afternoon with ABC's Steve McPherson, maybe a possible Paula series something or other??
STARTIN SHIT: In Touch ragazine is making it sound that Brad Pitt was upstaged by Angelina. The weekly remarked how Angie hogged most of the press and wore that leather dress to dominate the attention from Brad's film premiere. GET REAL. Brad's not the jealous type. Quit making a story where there is none!!
