...among others, stars ED NORTON and EDDIE FURLONG to help him. Kaye's beef: despite the fact that he has spent more than $1 million of his own money on his new vision for the film, the studio won't let him complete it. Instead it's releasing a version that Norton helped edit. Over at New Line, president Mike De Luca says he gave Kaye three chances to finish the film, spent an extra $1.5 million and endured meetings to which Kaye brought a Tibetan lama, a rabbi and a monk. Kaye's latest salvo: he wants the credits...
...enjoying a nice chilled glass of schadenfreude as he reads the reviews of HOWARD STERN's new television show. Stern, who was merciless to the basketballer while Johnson had a talk show, got slapped with the most dire content warning (TV-MA), lower national Nielsen ratings than a nonlive version of rival Saturday Night Live and a DD cup's worth of critical bile for his debut network effort. The show, which featured Stern abusing a female body builder and several guests who were hoping to win free cosmetic surgery, was called "the smelly underpants of late-night television...

Next year, she hopes to go on tour with neosoul star D'Angelo...
...stout one's specter continued to pervade the set of the "new" Psycho, which wrapped production last week. Prior to each scene, Van Sant and his crew huddled around a video monitor to watch similar bits of the 1960 version, making sure every moment was rendered with respect, if not calibrated precision. "The word remake is a fallacy," says cinematographer Christopher Doyle. "What we're trying to do is revoke and evoke." Besides running the older movie on a DVD player, Van Sant tacked photos of various freeze-frames on a nearby bulletin board as guides. "The concept...
