"This river can kill you in a thousand ways."
If you're like most people, than the sight of even a small, harmless garter snake gives you the willies. Now, just imagine coming face-to-fangs with a monster-size snake capable of swallowing you whole. That's what happens to a documentary filmmaker and her crew in tonight's feature presentation, Anaconda.
While being ferried down the Amazon River in search of the lost Shirishama tribe, director Terri Flores (Jennifer Lopez) and her documentary film crew — cameraman (Ice Cube), sound engineer (Owen Wilson), production manager (Kari Wuhrer), anthropologist (Eric Stoltz) — rescue a stranded snake hunter (Jon Voight) intent on capturing a record-sized Green Anaconda. After the captain (Vincent Castellanos) is incapacitated by a venomous wasp, the snake hunter assumes control of the boat and forces the crew to help him in his hunt. But, which is more deadly: the hunter or his prey?

Reelz' Entertainment Rundown
It was a big weekend for awards with both the GRAMMYs and BAFTAs taking place and as always the fashion played a key part. After receiving an email detailing unacceptable attire, the GRAMMY guests appeared less risky than previous years, however there were a few stars who pushed the boundaries. Jennifer Lopez seemed to gain inspiration from Angelina Jolie’s famous red-carpet Versace dress, wearing a leg revealing Anthony Vaccarello, Katy Perry showed off a figure hugging, cleavage baring Gucci number and Kelly Rowland left little to the imagination with her Anthony Vaccarello gown. The BAFTAs were a classier affair with Jessica Chastain stunning in a blue Rolan Mouret and perhaps the most shocking, Helen Mirren debuting a newly-dyed pink hair style.
The Grand Slam Star Trek & Sci-Fi Summit XVIII is taking place in Burbank this weekend, February 15-17. Science-fiction fans from around the world will enjoy appearances from a vast number of celebrities, including Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Jasika Nicole, and more. The non-stop auditorium show will include behind the scenes presentations, costume and trivia contests, videos, and auctions all related to new and vintage sci-fi TV and movies from franchises such as Star Trek, Stargate SG-1, Fringe, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, and The Vampire Diaries

Statham gets revenge, attempts an accent.
The character of career criminal Parker has made it to the big screen on several occasions, though never exactly under the same name. Created by the late author Donald E. Westlake, Parker was the protagonist of 24 novels Westlake wrote under the pseudonym of Richard Stark, the character of Parker was called Walker in 1967's Point Blank (and portrayed by Lee Marvin) and was called Porter when Mel Gibson played him in 1999's Payback, though both movies were based on the same book, Westlake's first "Parker" novel, The Hunter. In Parker, the character gets his original name back (even if no one is sure it's his real name in the first place), and is based on a different Westlake novel, Flashfire.
Ostensibly, the storyline remains the same, however. Like the other cinematic incarnations of the character, Parker, this time played by Jason Statham, has again been left for dead by his criminal partners and is looking to get revenge. "He’s a man who lives by a certain moral code," Statham told EW of the character, who can now be seen in the movie's first trailer. "He’s involved in criminal activities but he perceives all business to be in some way crooked. He never steals from people he feels can’t afford it and he doesn’t hurt people that don’t deserve it. So there’s a likeable quality to this anti-hero."

A new fragrance will be released by Lady Gaga next month, and first photo from the ad campaign has just been released. The photo features the tried-and-true, classic fragrance ad campaign standby of showing the singer nude, wearing a mask, with miniature men crawling over her body. There's nothing like the clean, fresh scent of tiny men climbing over Gaga.

Project Runway host Heidi Klum doesn't like for her "auf wiedersehen" to be taken away from her. The supermodel went on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and called two contestants "cowards" after they left the show of their own accord in the middle of the night.

Kris Jenner is getting heat for recent comments she made about putting daughter Kim Kardashian on birth control before she was 15. On Bethenny Frankel's new talk show, Kris defended her actions. "You want to protect your kids," she said. Jenner added: "You can try and talk your kids out of it, but unless you lock your child in the closet and throw the key away, they’re going to do what they feel." The interview airs Monday on Bethenny.

TMZ reports that Lifetime producers have been hysterical the past few weeks because of all the headlines surrounding the star of their Elizabeth Taylor biopic, Lindsay Lohan. In the past few weeks, paramedics have been called to Lohan's hotel room, she was in a very serious car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway, and she's hitting the nightclubs — all reasons why producers should be worried. TMZ said the producers big concerns are that they might lose the production's insurance, that Lohan could have violated her probation by lying to cops about her car accident, and that she's opening herself up to more problems by going to clubs. But TMZ argues that it's because of Lohan that the channel is getting so much press and predicts Liz & Dick to be the channel's most-watched program ever.

Sacha Baron Cohen nearly became the victim of his own antics today in Cannes. The actor almost fell off a camel during a publicity stunt to promote his movie, The Dictator, while at the Cannes Film Festival. The actor had planned to ride a camel through the city's famous Croisette promenade, but nearly tumbled backward when he tried to mount the animal. Luckily, he was caught and continued with his camel ride through Cannes.

Nick Stahl, best known for playing John Connor in Terminator 3, has been reported missing, says TMZ. On Monday, the actor's wife, Rose Stahl, filed a missing person's report with the L.A.P.D. saying she had last seen him May 9th. The actor has been separated from his wife since January, and in February she filed court papers expressing that she was concerned that Nick was using drugs and that she wanted visitations with his daughter to be supervised. His wife is now reportedly concerned that drug use has something to do with the actor's disappearance.

Singer/dancer/actress Jennifer Lopez was just named the number 1 celebrity on Forbes' list of 100 Most Powerful Celebrities. She was followed by Oprah Winfrey in the number two spot, with Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga rounding out the top 5.

In other J.Lo news, she was awfully coy about whether she would return to American Idol next season in a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres. Lopez said, "I really do enjoy it" but continued that she also misses "doing other things. It really does lock you down." Sounds like someone is in contract negotiations. Also, it's interesting to note that in 2009, before Lopez was an idol judge, she didn't even make the Forbes 100 list. Just sayin'.

In yet more Idol-related news, Ryan Seacrest just spent around $49 million for DeGeneres' Beverly Hills estate. The Idol host's new digs include a 9,200-square-foot main house, as well as 3 guest houses on 2.87 acres.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians will soon have a new guest star — Kanye West. In an interview with E! News (hmm, wonder how they landed that?), Kim Kardashian said boyfriend West will make a few appearances on her reality show. But don't expect them to be as open as her sister and brother-in-law. "I'm not going to be taking a bubble bath and drinking champagne or on a sex swing [on camera] like Khloé and Lamar do," Kim said.

Attorney Okorie Okorocha says, "I'm going to file a dismissal of John Doe #1's lawsuit on Tuesday morning, without prejudice.

Mr. Big has finally taken the plunge. Sex and the City's Chris Noth married his longtime fiancée, Tara Wilson, earlier this month. Like Carrie and Big, the couple had known each other for 10 years before tying the knot. Noth and Wilson had been engaged since 2009 and they're already the parents of a 4-year-old son.

The PRC has some problems with Titanic in 3-D. Apparently, the scene in which Rose (Kate Winslet) takes off her top to pose for Jack's drawing has been censored in China, and only shows the actress from the neck up. The Chinese State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television has stated that the scene was censored "out of consideration of building a harmonious ethical social environment." Well if that was the reason, one would think they would have edited out that overplayed, over-the-top, overwrought song rather than Winslet's breasts.

It's official: Marc Anthony has filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Unsurprisingly, "irreconcilable differences" were stated as the reason for the divorce on the papers filed April 9. He is asking for joint custody of the couple's 4-year-old twins.

Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose declined an induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame via a long, rambling, self-aggrandizing, and occasionally coherent open letter released yesterday. The induction ceremony is planned for Saturday in Cleveland, but Rose won't be there due to the fact that the "Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony doesn't appear to be somewhere (he's) actually wanted or respected." In addition, Rose wants to "let sleeping dogs lie or lying dogs sleep or whatever" and wants to let fans know that "maybe if it were you it'd be different. Maybe you'd do it for this reason or that. Peace, whatever."

In other angry (though far more intelligible) letter news, Mel Gibson and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas are publicly feuding after The Wrap obtained a 9-page letter Eszterhas sent to Gibson. The two had planned to collaborate on The Maccabbees, a movie that they had envisioned as a sort of "Jewish Braveheart." The collaboration apparently did not go well. The letter accuses Gibson of regularly making anti-Semitic slurs, dismissing the holocaust, and hating Jews. It also recounts instances of Gibson making violent threats against his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Gregorieva, as well as a description of a dinner party that ended up with Gibson screaming at a priest. Mel Gibson responded by writing an open letter to Eszterhas. Gibson stated that Eszterhas's letter was full of fabrications and that the real reason the collaboration failed was because of the poor quality of the script the screenwriter delivered.

Well, that didn't take long. Lindsay Lohan, fresh off probation, is being accused of battery. A woman filed a battery report, claiming Lilo got into a confrontation with her at a L.A. nightclub last Thursday night. The woman said Lohan pushed and shoved her when she began talking to a male friend of Lohan. The woman claims she was injured on her back and says she has visible bruises. Lohan claims she was home the night of the alleged attack and a representative for the actress said, "Lindsay was absolutely not involved in any sort of altercation whatsoever. This is clearly another case of someone looking for money and 15 minutes of fame." Though Lohan is off formal probation, she's still on informal probation for her necklace theft case until May 2014. If she were to get in trouble with the law, she could face 245 days in jail.

Given her history of DUIs, maybe Lilo could console Amanda Bynes, who after being arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, was photographed with a pouty face while waiting for her BMW at the impound yard over the weekend. On Friday, she was arrested after she crashed her car into a police cruiser and was said to be intoxicated. Bynes was still in her clubbing outfit, a short skirt, heels and jacket, when she was photographed looking glum while waiting for her car. Do we have another Lohan on our hands?

Most boyfriends don't expect much in the way of birthday presents from a girl they've only been dating a few months, but most people aren't Casper Smart.

A 40-year-old woman accused of stalking Alec Bladwin was arrested outside the actor's NYC apartment Sunday night, reports TMZ. This is the third time she's allegedly attempted to contact Baldwin in the past two weeks. Genevieve Sabourin, a Canadian actress, showed up at Baldwin's Manhattan apartment and asked the doorman to buzz him. Baldwin was in the Hamptons at the time but was said to instantly recognize the woman's name and instructed the doorman to call the police. Sabourin was arrested for harassment and stalking. Can you imagine how bad the other Baldwin brothers have it?
