Samuel L. Jackson

Hunkster and star of the new film, The Proposal, is still buzzing about an unexpected wedding gift from fellow actor Samuel L. Jackson.

After Ry Ry married Scarlett HoJo Johansson in his native Vancouver, Canada last September – he was surprised by the unannounced arrival of a very unique wedding gift.

He really is a bad ass mofo.

Samuel L. Jackson has inked a deal to play superspy Nick Fury in an unprecedented nine-movie deal with Marvel!

That is big time, big time.

Jackson made a cameo appearance at the end of 2008’s Iron Man and quickly confirmed his appearance in the movie’s upcoming sequel, but negotiations broke down when Marvel reportedly didn’t want to meet his quote.

We guess greed really is good; this deal will be putting his great-great-great-grandkids through college. Sam Jackson is PAID!

Jesus! Are they trying to blind us?

Scarlett HoJo Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson and Eva Mendes pose together at the Berlin photo call of their new film The Spirit on Monday, creating one of the most violently ugly optical assaults we’ve been inflicted with in a long time.

Question: Why is Samuel L. Jackson wearing velvet pants?

We know he’s a bad mo-fo but his Hefner-esque flared pajama-looking shiny pants paired with a sweater that would make Mister Furley gag is a 9.6 on the Richter Scale of Ugly.

Behold Baby Daddy Justin Timberlake as he arrives at Monday night’s American Cinematheque honors of Samuel L. Jackson at the Beverly Hilton.

That man is finger lickin’ good.

We need a bib and a WetNap.

We were invited (thank you, Than) to attend Monday night’s American Cinematheque Honors as they bestowed their 23rd annual prize on Samuel L. Jackson at the Beverly Hilton.

The show, which will be broadcast on AMC December 9th, offered the usual: speeches filled with platitudes followed by far more engaging montages of Jackson’s work (though it was noticeably heavy on Pulp Fiction and The Man). But here’s a peek at some of the more interesting events of Monday’s taping, most of which will have to be heavily bleeped when it airs.

It’s impossible to talk about the new film Soul Men without recognizing with a pang of sadness that it is one of the last films Bernie Mac completed before his sudden, untimely death in August at the age of 50.

Neil LaBute isn’t afraid of controversy, as anyone who’s seen his debut, In the Company of Men, can attest. His latest directorial effort, Lakeview Terrace, a contrived, derivative thriller that’s sadly devoid of thrills (in case you’re wondering, it’s a total “Skip it”) that centers on issues of race, marriage and the abuse of power; complex topics LaBute had to address while maintaining the film’s PG-13 rating.

Yesterday, seven thousand mourners packed the Chicago memorial service honoring Bernie Mac.

Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Chris Rock, Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer and Rev. Jesse Jackson attended the emotional service that was part late-night stand up routine, though the jokes were told with a heavy heart.  Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and Andy Garcia also sent condolences.

Shocked and saddened by the news of Bernie Mac’s sudden passing at the age of 50 due to complications of pneumonia, Mac’s friends and costars are speaking out in his memory.

“The world just got a little less funny. He will be missed dearly,” says George Clooney who starred with Mac in Ocean’s 11 and its two sequels.

Samuel L. Jackson has signed a two year deal to develop and executive producer shows for CBS through his Uppity Films production company.

Jackson follows in the footsteps of Sandra Bullock and Selma Hayek, both of whom produced successful TV shows that they oversaw but did not star in (Bullock: The George Lopez Show, Hayek: Ugly Betty).
