LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A STARRY, STARRY NIGHT FOR THE EMMYS.Byline: Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith This could turn out to be quite a superstar Emmy year - with Julia Roberts planning to wing in for the awards with her man, ``Law & Order'' nominee Ben Bratt. And with the chance that Brad Pitt will accompany girlfriend Jennifer Aniston to television's biggest event. Pitt's been at the Venice Film Festival promoting his soon-due ``The Fight Club'' feature, and as this is being written, it's unknown whether he'll be back from Europe by Sunday's awards. In the case of Roberts, she'll be reuniting with her guy, Bratt, who has been in Jordan making Warner Bros BROS Brothers BROS Benefits and Retirement Operations Section (King County, Washington) BROS Barnes and Richmond Operatic Society (London, UK) .' ``Mars'' with Val Kilmer. Bratt isn't the only nominee coming all the way from Mars to attend the Emmys. So is Don Cheadle Donald Frank Cheadle (born November 29, 1964) is an Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe Award-winning American actor. Biography Early life Cheadle was born in Kansas City, Missouri to Donald Cheadle, a child psychologist, and Betty, a bank manager and a (nominated for his performances in both HBO's ``A Lesson Before Dying'' and ``The Rat Pack''). Don's been toiling in Buena Vista's ``Mission to Mars'' with Gary Sinise, locationing in Vancouver, British Columbia British Columbia, province (2001 pop. 3,907,738), 366,255 sq mi (948,600 sq km), including 6,976 sq mi (18,068 sq km) of water surface, W Canada. Geography . Don's planning a whirlwind trek to planet L.A., then, back to the big-screen Martian space race. Two major names who won't be there are Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft For the American explorer, see . Anne Bancroft (September 17 1931 – June 6 2005) was an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Tony, and Emmy-winning American method actress. . Mel's win as a guest actor on ``Mad About You'' was announced at the Emmys' creative-arts ceremony two weeks ago. He expected to be on hand at the Shrine this Sunday with his wife to cheer her on (Anne's in the running for her supporting work in CBS' ``Deep in My Heart''). But as it's turned out, the writing he's been doing all summer in Manhattan on his planned stage version of ``The Producers'' hasn't come to a conclusion as soon as he planned. He's staying there working, and she's staying there with him. Horrors B-movie king Roger Corman takes over where Tim Burton left off last year as host of American Movie Classics' ``MonsterFest.'' That means a retrospective of such memorable Corman fare as ``Pit and the Pendulum'' and ``Masque masque, courtly form of dramatic spectacle, popular in England in the first half of the 17th cent. The masque developed from the early 16th-century disguising, or mummery, in which disguised guests bearing presents would break into a festival and then join with their of the Red Death'' on Fridays beginning today. And it means a new Corman 32-part serial, starring Roger himself, over a three-day Halloween weekend horror-movie marathon. ``They started asking me, `Is there any way we could shoot something that would be playing in between the horror pictures?' '' he reports. ``We decided to shoot a movie based on an old Saturday-afternoon cliffhanger cliff·hang·er n. 1. A melodramatic serial in which each episode ends in suspense. 2.

The industry power who's launched a thousand film careers - including giving first shots at directing to such names as Ron Howard and Francis Coppola - makes it clear that ``we're not finished yet.'' He notes that he left the ``MonsterFest'' directing to Gwyneth Gibbey, ``one of my best young directors. Two of my top three new directors happen to be women. Gwyneth and Rachel Samuels - along with Mitch Marcus.'' Samuels directed Corman's ``The Suicide Club Suicide Club members wishing to die are chosen by lot, as are those who are to effect their deaths. [Br. Lit.: Stevenson “The Suicide Club”] See : Suicide ,'' starring Jonathan Pryce and based on the Robert Louis Stevenson story, due in 2000. And Gibbey helmed a feature version of Isaac Asimov's ``Night Fall'' that'll also come to screens next year. Full slate Any political party or faction that seeks to form a majority in a parliament or on a board of directors or other responsible body typically must run a full slate if only to demonstrate that they have the capacity to attract the talent to fill every position with some person, even if that ``Britannic,'' the British film saga of the also-ill-fated sister ship of ``Titanic,'' will be coming our way in late fall on Fox. That's according to Jacqueline Bisset, who plays an ambassador's wife in the movie. It's one of several projects the Emmy-nominated (``Joan of Arc'') actress has due out in coming months. There's also ``a French film and another little English film, a film I made in Australia - and the CBS (Cell Broadcast Service) See cell broadcast. miniseries `Jesus,' '' in which she plays Mary. First viewers will see Bisset at the Emmys Sunday, on the arm of her beau of five years, martial arts expert Emin Boztepe.

Balk says she's thinking about buying a gun, discusses her ever-expanding knife collection, the nine tattoos she sports, the occult store she owns in Los Angeles, and how she once nursed a stray cat back to health by licking its fur. Then, the actress - who's made a career out of playing off-kilter, dark and often brutal characters in such films as ``The Craft,'' ``The Island of Dr. Moreau'' and ``American History X'' - wonders why ``people think I can only play these mad people or these violent people or these crazy people.'' Gee, Fairuza, where do you think they get those ideas? CAPTION(S): 4 Photos Photo: (1) BRATT (2) CORMAN (3) BISSET (4) BALK |
