Joe Pesci Suing ?Gotti? Filmmakers Over Casting, Weight Gain

Joe Pesci is reportedly suing the producers of the upcoming film Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father for switching his character at the last minute.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Pesci claims he was first offered the role of Angelo Ruggiero, an enforcer and longtime confidant of John Gotti Sr. – a role that came with a $3 million paycheck. Pesci says he broke his strict diet to beef up to play the character, gaining 30 pounds before producer Fiore Films offered him a lesser role – that of Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso, a mobster who tried to kill Gotti. The smaller role comes with a smaller paycheck, too – just $1 million.

Pesci claims his name was used to garner attention for the movie, and that he had an oral contract to play Angelo Ruggiero.

The lawsuit states, “Defendant has no intention of paying Pesci $3 million or having him portray Ruggiero in the film. Rather plaintiff secretly planned to use Pesci’s name and likeness to promote the film and then later to concoct some pretext for terminating the contract so as to avoid paying plaintiff anything for the substantial publicity and ‘buzz’ that was generated.”

Fiore Films’ CEO, Mark Fiore, however, claims that Pesci walked away before a deal was ever signed – and says he may now file a countersuit since Pesci never actually signed a contract to play ANY role in the movie.

Filming for Gotti is set to begin in January 2012.

Kings of Leon Frontman Drunkenly Cuts Dallas Show Short

Alcohol and rock stars go together like peanut butter and jelly, but unfortunately sometimes said rock stars go a bit overboard. Such was the case on Friday in Dallas, where Kings of Leon was performing at the Gexa Energy Pavilion – frontman Caleb Followill cut short the band’s performance, just halfway through their set.

“I’m gonna go back stage for a second, I’m gonna vomit, I’m gonna drink a beer and I’m gonna come back out and play three more songs,” Followill said before walking off the stage. Interestingly, he claimed not to be drunk, citing instead the “extreme heat” at the Gexa Energy Pavilion (and come on, let’s be honest, it’s Texas… in July… of course it’s hot there). He claimed the heat had ruined his voice, but his fellow bandmates claimed otherwise.

The other members of the band (who are related to Caleb, incidentally), told a different story – one that includes an alluded-to alcohol problem. Bassist Jared Followill, Caleb’s brother, tweeted after the show, “Dallas, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed. No words.”

He later wrote a much more damning tweet: “I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren’t stupid. I can’t lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade.”

Sounds to me like someone’s reached their tipping point of tolerating an addict. Nathan Followill, who plays drums, expressed a similar sentiment on his Twitter page, writing, “I’m so sorry for the inconvenience of all this bulls***. We’ll be back soon,” and continuing, “Not so good morning 4 me today. Ashamed and embarrassed by last nights fiasco. Can’t apologize enough, utterly gutter. A million I’m sorry’s.”

The band will be making up the Dallas date, as well as the Houston date that was canceled the following night, in late September. In the meantime, it’s fair to speculate that we might hear about a trip to rehab sometime soon.

Will And Jada's Mansion Isn't Big Enough

In the new issue of Architectural Digest, The Smith Family gave the magazine a tour of their 25,000 square foot mega mansion in Malibu that they built from the ground up. To put things into perspective, my apartment is probably the size of one of the bathroom tiles in the powder room that they'll never ever piss in because they've got 10 of them!

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith tell AD (via Daily Mail) that mostly everything in the house was made by human hands and comes from all over the world. Will and Jada are into that OM shit, so she says they kept that in mind when designing the 9" burrito dick of houses.

"For Will and me this home was always a spiritual endeavor.

We?re very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, something that ties back to the land. Whatever it becomes, the craftsmanship will always represent our union and the love of our family."

Will then said that they designed the house with "no dead ends? to create an infinite cycle that represented what Jada and I hoped for our love." Kind of like the infinite cycle of vomit that's about to pour out of my mouth hole after reading that mess of a quote? Okay, I get it.

Will and Jada obviously love living in a gigantic mansion that looks like one of the nicer Radissons, so I won't get on them at how my ass cheeks are sweating from the chair overload in their front hallway alone. Seriously, that shit almost looks like an indoor park. If I walked by and saw two strange old men with Styrofoam cups of coffee playing chess, I wouldn't even blink. I also wouldn't even blink if a colony of possums from the north wing passed by me while going to the south wing for winter. Even Jada and Will wouldn't notice.

This is the real secret to their long-lasting marriage. Jada and Will are always going on about how they keep their marriage hot by fucking each other's holes all over the place. Bitches, please.

The truth is their marriage has lasted so long, because they never see each other! It's too much work. When Will wants to visit Jada in her private suite at the opposite end of their compound, he needs a GPS system, three sets of fully charged batteries, a golf cart, a space blanket and a guide with a donkey to get there. It's easier just to send that bitch a postcard via Pony Express.

Of the ?S&M? singer?s provocative style, she believes, ?Honesty [is] the ultimate liberation,? and says, ?People want to shy away from the truth.?

Ri-Ri also explained that her vivacious attitude explains her sexy fashion choices lately, saying that she prefers to wear outfits that make people go ?what the hell is she wearing??

The comments on being sexually open come as Rihanna made a splash in a skimpy red jewel-encrusted bikini back in her homeland of Barbados on Monday (August 1) as she celebrated Kadooment Day, which commemorates the end of the harvest season.
