Probably one of our weaker topics we chat up 50's thoughts on Oprah Winfrey, here is a clip from the Yahoo! article:

In an interview with The Associated Press, 50 complained that Winfrey rarely invites rappers on her talk show: "I think she caters to older white women."

"Oprah's audience is my audience's parents," the 29-year-old rapper said. "So, I could care less about Oprah or her show."

"Entertaining Mr. Sloane" could be retitled "Exiting Jan Maxwell."

The actress left the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of the Joe Orton comedy last Sunday after complaining about the behavior of her co-star, Alec Baldwin.

She will be replaced by her understudy, Barbara Sims, for the remainder of the play's run, which ends May 21 at the Roundabout's Laura Pels Theatre.

Maxwell's departure was first reported Wednesday in the New York Post, which obtained a copy of an e-mail the actress sent to a friend about Baldwin. In the note, the actress declared that the "bottom line was my physical safety, mental health and artistic integrity none of which Roundabout was supporting."

In the e-mail, Maxwell said Baldwin put his fist through a wall and was "throwing things around with all of us cowering," and Maxwell accused Baldwin of giving the Roundabout an ultimatum: refusing to go on with her.

Kevin Costner Exposes Himself

Costner grabbed the spa worker while she was giving him a massage, then dropped his towel and masturbated. "It was disgusting and, even though he was a Hollywood superstar, I couldn't believe he thought he could get away with something like that," the woman said in testimony that month at a British employment hearing in Dundee. "Kevin Costner abused me and I considered that a criminal act. When I was giving his wife a massage afterwards, I wanted to tell her everything."

Talk about a bit of casting news, Variety is reporting that Al Pacino is set to join the cast of Ocean's Thirteen for Warner Bros. and director Steven Soderbergh.

Who does he join? Well, let's see… George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Eddie Jemison, Carl Reiner, Elliott Gould, Ellen Barkin and Shaobo Qin. On top of all that, if you ask me, I would not be surprised to see both Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones in this pic.

The pic is eyeing a July 21 start with shooting scheduled to take place in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Details, of course, are being kept quiet, but Warners did tell Variety that Pacino will be playing Willie Banks, the owner of a high-profile casino and hotel in Las Vegas.

Ocean's Thirteen is currently set for a June 8, 2007 release.

The FOX Reality Channel will this fall air a three-hour, three-episode series that follows four porn stars as they learn to act.

My Bare Lady "will follow a group of U.S. porn stars as they travel to London and attempt to carve out acting careers on the West End stage," according to the Hollywood Reporter. We'll see "[t]heir experiences undergoing a crash course in acting and appearing before a discerning British audience," Reuters reports.

The paper notes that the show is being co-produced with a British production company using a financial model never before used with reality TV that "will give both companies a chance to air an ambitious, high-production-value show for less than it would cost to make in the U.S."
