Some of the students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High are planning on using their newfound star power to get their gun control message out ... through a good page-turner. Sources tell TMZ that at least two of the outspoken survivors have been in talks with publishers for book deals. The deals haven't been inked ... the students are in the meeting phase with book honchos. We're also told that some of the students have been getting help from high-profile publicists to field requests and schedule media appearances. A lot of these kids have been all over the news lately, so...

When women first started coming forward to accuse Bill Cosby of rape last month, the public was surprised due to his flawless reputation as 'America's dad'. It has now been revealed that a team of lawyers and publicists worked tirelessly to keep his image pristine for decades, by silencing alleged victims and keeping the media from reporting their claims, the New York Times reports. That apparently all-male team includes $850-an-hour Hollywood lawyer Martin Singer (whose clients include Charlie Sheen and Arnold Schwarzenegger), former William Morris agent Norman Brokaw, his publicist son David, and New York lawyer John P Schmitt.

25. Titanic (1997) Rose (Kate Winslet) and Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) may have been sailing the high seas in high style. But when it came time for getting it on, these crazy kids knew how to put the heat in the rumble seat. Luckily for them, these soon-to-be-doomed lovers find a parked car on their luxury ocean liner. Our favorite part? The steamed-up windows. That's sexy. 24. Seven Year Itch (1955) How provocative is the scene where Marilyn Monroe's white dress starts to billow up, leaving parts below exposed? So much so that when Monroe's real-life hubby, Joe DiMaggio, saw her...

Ang Lee’s BrokeBack Mountain is a movie that, on one hand, follows fairly conventional and well-trodden ground to a legitimate conclusion (well, not quite a legitimate conclusion, see below) and, on the other hand, indulges in a series of contrived plot devices to turn (or at least attempt to turn) a rather pedestrian effort into something beyond its all-too-conventional story line. The plot is simple. In a relatively short period of time, two people, away from home, indulge in a summer romance of forbidden love. After that summer, they return to their homes and marry people who would, in the...

THE 2005 HALL of Shame lacks marquee monstrosities with the magnitude of "Gigli" and "Boxing Helena." Still, wretchedness is wretchedness and several wretched movies jockeyed for position on our 10-worst list. 1. "The Perfect Man" — Gorgeous Heather Locklear can't get a date so her daughter Hilary Duff impersonates a man courting her mother over the Internet. Creepier than the bug scene in "King Kong." 2. "The Ice Harvest" — Like walking through a murky aquarium. Two men with the personalities of cashews steal $2 million on Christmas Eve. One (John Cusack) thinks it's smart to stash the cash with...

LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears topped Mr. Blackwell's 46th annual "Worst Dressed" list for wearing clothes that he said made her look like an "over-the-hill Lolita." "When it comes to Couture Chaos, this Tacky Terror should take a bow — looks like an over-the-hill Lolita," Mr. Blackwell said in a statement released Tuesday. Bohemian teen tycoon Mary-Kate Olsen was the next target of the acid-tongued fashion critic. He called her clothes "bag lady rags" and "depressingly decayed." Jessica Simpson followed Olsen. Though her Daisy Dukes shorts landed her on the pages of numerous magazines, Mr. Blackwell said she "resembles a...
