Hollywood Round-up, 5/20

By Jason Apuzzo. Today in Hollywood news:

• Michael Bay fires Megan Fox from Transformers 3, likely because she’s insane. Tiger calls to console.

• With firing of Megan, Hollywood wonders whether Shia’s next to be fired after Shia trashes Indy 4 at Cannes (see here and here).  Shia initiating new quality-control measures in his work, along with a special 1-800 complaint line.

• Valerie Plame movie getting rave reviews at Cannes (see here and here).  Director says its not really a political movie, which sort of begs the question.

• Eliot Spitzer documentary picked up for distribution, part of a package deal to include a reality TV series on ethics starring David Paterson. Just kidding.

• Robert Redford appears on Olberman show, Sean Penn lectures Capitol Hill. Nothing new here, move along.

• Captain America to be filmed in London.  No really, they’re shooting the film in London.  Not kidding.

• 5 and 1/2 hour movie on left-wing terrorist ‘Carlos the Jackal’ praised at Cannes. Oliver Stone seen napping in lobby.

• Anti-war doc Armadillo gets critics prize at Cannes. Oliver Stone seen napping in lobby.

• 30th Anniversary screening of The Empire Strikes Back in LA reunites Han with Chewie. Actually this looked like a lot of fun.

• Bernard Henri-Levy defends Polanski … again. Very hard to do at this point.

And that’s what’s happening today in the wonderful world of Hollywood …
