Antoine Fuqua and Eminem Look to Pair Up for Boxing Drama

Filed under:


From The Los Angeles Times

As recently as last month, ?Training Day? director Antoine Fuqua was slated to direct a biopic about the life of Tupac Shakur. Now 24 Frames has learned that the director has stepped away from that film and is instead poised to join a movie that revolves around a different hip-hop artist: Eminem.

Fuqua is set to come aboard ?Southpaw,? a fictional boxing drama written and conceived by ?Sons of Anarchy? creator Kurt Sutter and starring the Detroit rapper, said a source briefed on the film who requested anonymity because he wasn?t authorized to speak about it publicly. The DreamWorks film aims to shoot later this year. Fuqua has no formal deal in place as yet. [Update, 6:52 p.m.: A person close to Fuqua said the two still must work out a number of deal points.]

A studio spokeswoman declined comment.

The project?s progress is good news for fans of Eminem, who received acclaim for his turn as a talented rapper in 2002?s ?8 Mile? but has not taken a lead movie part since. The man born Marshall Mathers does have a propensity for working with top-tier filmmakers: ?8 Mile? was directed by Curtis Hanson, and Eminem also appeared in this year?s well-regarded Chrysler Super Bowl spot, which was helmed by decorated music-video director Samuel Bayer.

Arnold Schwarzenegger paying child support to wife

Arnold Schwarzenegger is already paying a ''significant'' amount of child support to Maria Shriver, despite neither of them filing for divorce yet.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is paying a "significant" amount of child support to his estranged wife.

The 63-year-old actor has agreed to give financial assistance to Maria Shriver - who he separated from last month, shortly before it was made public that he had fathered a child with their former housekeeper Mildred 'Patty' Baen - for their younger children Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13, despite neither party filing for divorce yet.

A source told RadarOnline.com: "[Arnold is paying] a significant amount of child support. Arnold is also paying for his sons, Patrick and Christopher's private school bills.

Maria wants to get a fair divorce settlement, and move on with her life. She has already begun to do so.

"Even though Maria is a Kennedy, and has inherited a great deal of money from her parent's estate since their deaths, she is taking the child support. Under California law she is entitled to the child support, once either one of them files for divorce. Maria and Arnold's lawyers have been working on a divorce settlement but in the meantime Arnold is willingly paying the money to Maria."

Insiders claim Maria - who also has daughters Katherine, 21, and Christina, 19, with the former Governor of California - has enlisted the help of forensic accountants to get an accurate view of her estranged spouse's assets in order to ensure their divorce is fair.

The source added: "Maria wants to get a fair divorce settlement, and move on with her life. She has already begun to do so."

Despite the revelations that emerged after the split, the sources claim the separation is far from acrimonious, with Maria particularly keen for the breakdown of her marriage not to impact too much on their children.

The insider said: "She and Arnold talk quite often, it would surprise people how gracious Maria is being about the entire situation. Maria doesn't want the kids to suffer because of stupid decisions their father made, and she encourages them to be honest about their feelings. Arnold has made tearful apologies to his children for his indiscretions."

Lindsay Lohan has filmed a commercial for internet penny auction site Beezid.com while under house arrest.

Lindsay Lohan has filmed a commercial during her house arrest.

The troubled actress - who has been ordered to stay inside the confines of her apartment in Venice Beach, California, until June 29 while she serves a sentence for violating her probation and theft of a necklace - shot the advert for internet penny auction site Beezid.com after agreeing an undisclosed deal with the firm following. She had turned down their original offer of $25,000.

According to gossip website TMZ, Lindsay was also given $10,000 credit to spend on the website.

Lindsay was sentenced to three years probation, 120 days in jail and complete 480 hours of community service after taking a necklace from an upmarket Los Angeles boutique and breaching the terms of her 2007 probation.

The 'Mean Girls' star - who pleaded no contest to stealing the $2,500 necklace - will carry out her community service at a downtown Los Angeles women's shelter and undertake janitorial work at the county morgue.

Doug Hutchison Marries Courtney Alexis Stodden, Couple Embraces Mammoth Age Difference


Doug Hutchison is a veteran actor best known for roles in The Green Mile, Lost and 24. He is 51 years old.

Courtney Alexis Stodden is an aspiring country singer. She is 16 years old.

Over the weekend, the couple got married in Las Vegas.

Doug Hutchison in Punisher: War Zone

Doug Hutchison is seen here in Punisher: War Zone. Many likely believe he should be starring in Pedophile: Gross Zone.

Based on Nevada law, one of Stodden's parents had to sign off on the union, as the pair acknowledged its age difference via the following statement:

"We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial. But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless."

Do you buy that message? What do you think of this marriage?
