Bad Boys 3?

Columbia Pictures is developing a third installment of the highly popular “Bad Boys” franchise. The previous two films have grossed $141 million and $273 million worldwide respectively and that type of success is what might bring Will Smith, Martin Lawrence & director Michael Bay back together for a third go around, but it also might doom the production from the start. Will Smith is possibly the most bankable actor in hollywood and would command a high salary; in Bad Boys, he made $2 mil and Bad Boys 2, he pulled in $20 mil plus 20% of the film’s gross, where as Martin Lawrence also pulled in $20 mil in the Bad Boys sequel as well.

But even though the budget might be high, it’s pretty safe to say that people will definitely go to the theaters to see these bad boys in action.

Farrah Fawcett 1947-2009

Farrah Fawcett has died after a long battle with cancer.

Fawcett, 62, died at St. John’s Medical Center in Santa Monica at 9:28 a.m. Thursday morning with her longtime love, Ryan O’Neal, and her friend Alana Stewart by her side. O’Neal told reporters waiting outside the hospital this morning only that “she’s gone.”

Her spokesman, Paul Bloch, says Fawcett died Thursday morning in a Santa Monica hospital. Her 2 1/2-year battle with cancer was depicted in the TV documentary “Farrah’s Story.”

She burst on the scene in 1976 as one-third of the crime-fighting trio in TV’s “Charlie’s Angeles.” A poster of her in a clingy swimsuit sold in the millions.

She left the show after one season but had a flop on the big screen with “Somebody Killed Her Husband.” She turned to more serious roles in the 1980s and 1990s, winning praise playing an abused wife in “The Burning Bed.”
