Bruce Willis and his clan

Recommended Posts

Bruce Willis Settles Feud with Former Friend Bruce Willis has settled with a former pal he accused of trying to shake him down by going public with private family mementoes. Willis filed suit against Bruce DiMattia on Tuesday in Los Angeles, accusing his former pal of "wrongfully retaining possession" of private photos and videos belonging to the actor. DiMattia, who was charged with organizing the private Willis archive until he was dismissed earlier this year, told Willis he was planning to write a book about his old pal after the movie star tried to kick him out of the home he gave him. In his suit, Willis claimed that DiMattia has "threatened to unlawfully exploit private family photographs and memorabilia" belonging to him. Willis, who was seeking damages of over $1 million and the return of private documents, photographs and video, says, "It has been settled."

Wow ~ Bruce doesn't mess around! And while I also disagree with his politics, I, too, have always enjoyed his humor and the fact that he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. It's great a video camera was rolling when his hand reached out and touched that photog. The guy doesn't stand a chance in court.

Bruce Willis: Click'd Off

Posted Aug 31st 2006 1:15PM by TMZ Staff

Filed under: Paparazzi Photo, Wacky and Weird, Celebrity Feuds

 

Bruce Willis spent some time Wednesday at his Beverly Hills gym pumping some iron and strengthening his paparazzi-snapping skills.

 

After the actor put down the weights and headed out of the gym, he noticed some lingering photogs taking shots of him. Unfortunately, Bruce wasn't in the mood, so he took the opportunity to walk straight up to the car, whereupon he shoved his digital camera in the window and turned the tables on the lensmen by getting some snaps of them. Willis then made sure any other cameras in sight got a frame of him giving the ol' middle-finger salute.

 

But this isn't the first time Bruce has come face-to-face with the paparazzi. Back in June, a photographer publicly accused the actor of shoving his camera, causing it to chip his tooth. Since then, Willis has since shot back, filing a defamatory lawsuit against the photog which is ongoing.

'Die Hard' Sequel Gets Long, Q

John McLane discovers the Internet

September 22, 2006

 

 

Maggie Q and Justin Long have signed on for Fox's "Live Free or Die Hard," the Len Wiseman-directed fourth "Die Hard" film.

 

The plot -- which sounds like it's been marinating on the shelf for a decade -- involves a cyberterrorist attempting to shut down the country's computer infrastructure. Those pesky hackers know all about the Internet and the computers, but they don't know all about John McLane (Bruce Willis).

 

According to the industry trade papers, Long will play McLane's more computer-savvy assistant. As long as they use Macs, that should be easy to believe.

 

Q will apparently play a hacker who bumps heads with McLane.

 

Maggie Q was most recently seen joining forces with Tom Cruise in the summer film "Mission: Impossible III." She's already lined up a comedic turn in "Balls of Fury."

 

Long had a small late-summer success with the comedy "Accepted," as well as a little bit less success with the comedy "Idiocracy." The former "Ed" star has a number of projects on tap including "Strange Wilderness" and a vocal turn in the animated "The Tale of Despereaux."

"I'm a Democrat," Insists Willis

 

 

Bruce Willis has dismissed his "Hollywood Republican" reputation, insisting his political beliefs go far deeper. Confusion over the movie hardman's politics was sparked when he reportedly backed the war in Iraq, and even made an appearance with US President George W. Bush at the White House. But now he's keen to be seen as a staunch Democrat, according to the New York Daily News. He says, "I'm always being accused of being a Hollywood Republican - but I'm not! I have just as many Democratic ideas as Republican ones. If they could build three fewer bombs every month and give the money to foster care, that would be great."

Willis Gets Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

 

Surrounded by family, friends and fellow A-listers, Bruce Willis received a star on the Walk of Fame Monday as scores of fans looked on.

 

Ex-wife Demi Moore and her new husband Ashton Kutcher were on hand, as were Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Sylvester Stallone, Don Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton. The Emmy-winning actor's children also attended the dedication ceremony.

 

"I used to come down here and look at these stars and I could never quite figure out what you were supposed to do to get one," Willis said. "Time has passed and now here I am doing this, and I'm still excited. I'm still excited to be an actor."

 

The Willis star, the 2,321st implanted on the Walk of Fame, was unveiled on Hollywood Boulevard in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre on the eve of the DVD release of "Over the Hedge." Willis was the voice of RJ the raccoon in the animated film.

 

Willis, who won an Emmy for his role in the 1985-1989 ABC-TV series "Moonlighting," may be best known for his portrayal of Detective John McClane in the "Die Hard" movies. Another sequel, "Live Free or Die Hard," will be released June 29.

 

His other film credits include "The Sixth Sense," "Pulp Fiction," "Twelve Monkeys" and "The Jackal." Willis' latest film, "Fast Food Nation," in which he plays an unscrupulous farmer, is scheduled for release Nov. 17.

Renee and Bruce?

 

The two stars were seen looking cosy at new Los Angeles restaurant Cut,

where they enjoyed a lavish dinner together.

 

A source said: "They seemed really into each other. Renée definitely left

with Bruce."

 

However, it has been claimed that the other diners in the restaurant failed

to notice that Bruce and Renée were sat with one another because they were

distracted by another star - Reese Witherspoon.

 

According to reports, the 'Walk The Line' actress - who filed for divorce

from husband Ryan Phillippe earlier this month - was eating a salad alone,

before Renée saw her and went over to have a chat.

 

The two actresses were soon joined by 'Die Hard' actor Bruce and the trio

then spent almost an hour together talking and drinking.

 

Meanwhile, Renée has claimed that her life was easier when she was a

barmaid - before becoming an international movie star.

 

She recently said: "When I first went to Hollywood, I remember working for

two years in a bar. I was happy when all I had to worry about was the labels

on the bottles.

 

"I'm not a 'look at me' girl? When I have to walk down the red carpet before

a premiere, I am terrified by the wall of photographers screaming my name.

It is so violent."

Willis Slams Claims He Used Madam's Services

 

 

Actor Bruce Willis has slammed reports he used the services of Hollywood madam Jody "Babydoll" Gibson. Gibson was convicted in 2000 of operating an international prostitution ring and threatened to disclose the names of her celebrity clients during her trial. Although the names of her famous clientele were never made public, she is now revealing them in her autobiography Secrets Of A Hollywood Supermadam. The book, out on Thursday in the US, reportedly names two dozen celebrities she says patronized her call-girl service. According to the Los Angeles Times, a review of court records shows Gibson listed Willis, former Los Angeles Dodgers baseball manager Tommy Lasorda, Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and late film producer Don Simpson as her clients. But Willis' attorney Marty Singer has dismissed the claims, saying, "The story is a complete fabrication. (Willis) doesn't know this woman. He's never even spoken to her." Meanwhile, Jones says he might have used Gibson's escort services, "It's possible. I crossed paths with her back then. She was a madam, but if I remember right, she wanted to be a singer in a band." Authorities never prosecuted any of Gibson's clients, and there was no proof that anyone she listed actually patronized her service. Her "California Dreamin" prostitution ring, which operated in 16 states and in Europe, employed porn stars and Playboy models.

NY DAILY NEWS

 

So what are New York girls, chopped liver? Bruce Willis dropped by Marquee Tuesday night and asked the security guard that "only hot girls" be allowed to perch at his table. But Bruce, who was drinking only water, apparently didn't see anything he liked. He left - alone - at 3:50 a.m.

H'wood Bigs On Madam's List

 

March 1, 2007 -- THE blond madam who ran a stable of high-priced hookers has Los Angeles in a lather because she's naming names in her new autobiography - among them, superstar Bruce Willis and former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda.

 

Jody "Babydol" Gibson was convicted in 2000 of operating a global prostitution ring, but prosecutors blacked out the names of famous alleged clients found in her phone books and records.

 

Now, in "Secrets of a Hollywood Super Madam," out today from Corona Books, Gibson names celebrities she says patronized her "California Dreamin' " service, which operated in 16 states and in Europe, employed porn stars and Playboy models, and charged customers as much as $3,000, according to trial testimony.

 

"I hold nothing back so you'll excuse me if it gets a little nasty," Gibson, who spent 22 months in jail, writes on her Web site.

 

Among the individuals whose names were also recently unsealed by Los Angeles Superior Court are Willis, Lasorda, ex-Sex Pistols rocker Steve Jones and late movie producer Don Simpson.

 

Willis' lawyer, Marty Singer, told Page Six, "It's a total fabrication. He doesn't know the woman, he's never met the woman. My client doesn't need to pay for sex, he doesn't pay for sex."

 

Lasorda's lawyer, Tony Cappazola, was also indignant. "He's very upset. It's a slimy book so full of inaccuracies. For instance, she says she called Tommy back on his cellphone and he didn't even have a cellphone . . . She's an over-the-hill, desperate hooker attempting to make a buck," said the lawyer, who scoffed at Gibson's claim that Lasorda paid $1,500 in cash. "You know Lasorda. He wouldn't buy lunch," Cappazola said.

 

Jones told the L.A. Times, "It's possible. I crossed paths with her back then." He told us, "We all have to make a living . . . I think sex for money should be legal. It's such a [misdemeanor]. Who cares?"

 

One political figure named on Gibson's list is former Texas Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes. He didn't return our call, but he told the L.A. Times, "I have never met or talked to this broad in my entire life." Also mentioned is the Sultan of Brunei. An e-mail to his office was not answered.

From MSN:

 

Is Bruce Willis in the midst of a bizarro midlife crisis? The New York Daily News says the bald-pated star, who tends to prefer his women on the dewier side, rang in his 52nd birthday last week by polishing the tonsils of (yikes!) Courtney Love, 42, while grooving to the smooth stylings of British chanteuse Amy Winehouse at the Roxy in Los Angeles. "They were full-on making out," tattles a spy, apparently after dousing their eyeballs with copious amounts of Visine. This is the second high-profile smooch session Willis has reportedly enjoyed in recent months: In January, he and Drew Barrymore "were making out in front of everybody" at a post-Golden Globes soiree, according to the paper. The actor's rep had -- shocker -- no comment on his alleged Courtney coziness, while her flack brushed off their tongue tangling as "a quick hi, and then they went their separate ways."

^ They've got "Hater Rehab" now so maybe he can go to "Rehab for Skanky Hook-Ups".

 

Skank Rehab... who else would be there? Josh Duhamel, Ralph Fiennes, Paul McCartney, all of Paris Hilton's boyfriends... ;)

'Perfect' Squeeze

 

BRUCE Willis looks like he's finally found love. The bald star of "Perfect Strangers," who's been single for more than a year despite expressing interest in several models, cuddled up against his co-star, Tamara Feldman, during the premiere at the Ziegfeld Tuesday night. Afterward, Willis discreetly checked on the leggy brunette periodically throughout the evening at the after-party at Tao and later brought her to the Gramercy Park Hotel, where he kissed her before going to circulate in the crowd. Also at the premiere were a radiant Halle Berry supported by her live-in love, Gabriel Aubry, Sony chief Sir Howard Stringer, producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, uber-agent Toni Howard, Gary Dourdan, Amy Sacco, Giovanni Ribisi and Tim Robbins -who, asked whom he thought should be the '08 Democratic presidential nominee answered, "Al Gore." Most of the crowd then moved on from the hotel to Bungalow 8.

Bruce Willis is disgusted by young stars who flash their "naked vaginas".

 

The 'Die Hard' actor has hit out at the likes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears who have all been photographed on nights out not wearing any underwear, displaying their most intimate parts.

 

Willis told Vanity Fair magazine: "They're not writing about guys my age much anymore, unless I do something naughty.

 

"They're writing about the kids. That's what drives pop culture now. Anything goes, to the point where it's OK for young pop stars or film stars to show photos of their naked vaginas in a magazine. If this is it then it's over man, it's the f***ing Fall of Rome."

 

The 52-year-old action hero also revealed he is feeling his age and found the stunts in the new 'Die Hard' movie, 'Live Free or Die Hard', very tough.

 

He said: "A lot of the physical stuff they had me doing was still, let's say, low-tech. I don't bounce as well off the concrete floors as I used to. I'm glad I didn't wait a couple more years to do this."

Technical nit pick -- Rome burned.

 

Other than that he may be right. :rolleyes:

He's actually right. Rome burned (but wasn't completely destroyed) during the reign of Emperior Nero--but it survived enough to rise from the ashes and flourish until the late 5th century AD when the Barbarians took over (later they were conquered and Ancient Rome became the Holy Roman Empire in which Christianity predominated and was the official religion but I'm jumping ahead).

 

Willis is referring to the fall of Rome (before the Barbarians and before Charlemagne and company).

A Different Kind of "Ménage à Trois"

Filed under: Ashton Kutcher , Bruce Willis , Demi Moore

 

Posted Image

 

A recent photo series for Vanity Fair with famed celebrity photographer, Annie Leibovitz, caught Bruce Willis engrossed in the act of fishing, while his ex-wife, Demi Moore and her young husband, Ashton Kutcher, cuddled on the other side of the boat. Liebovitz was invited to accompany Demi, Ashton and Bruce, as they vacationed with their children (both step and otherwise) Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, at Willis' home in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Willis attempted to explain the family's complex dynamic to the magazine:

 

"It's hard to understand, but we go on holidays together. We still raise our kids together - we still have that bond.

 

"Demi is the mother of my children and Ashton is the stepfather of my children. I'm thrilled that Ashton turned out to be such a great guy.

 

"I love Demi, and I know she loves me."

 

As strange as this looks, it sure seems a hell of a lot healthier than the bitter divorces and custody battles that a lot of high-profile celebrities of their caliber usually end up going through. I think these people may be so friggin' functional that they have successfully blown my mind. But then again, double-sided Scotch tape also blows my mind. I'm pretty easily mind-blown.

Bruce Willis Points out the Imperfections of "Perfect Stranger"

Filed under: Bruce Willis

 

Posted Image

 

Momentarily forgetting the name for Bruce Willis' latest film, and thinking that the headlines about his beef with "Perfect Stranger" instead had something to do with a strange (and not so timely) vendetta he had against cousins, Balki Bartokomous and Larry Appleton, I initially found myself feeling defensive of one of my favorite sitcoms from my childhood. And then it dawned on me...that I'm an idiot. Instead, Bruce is actually upset with how the promotion of his movie with Halle Berry, "Perfect Stranger" (minus that all-important "s"), was executed and blames the producers of the film for its poor showing at the box office by their insistence on softening its edge.

 

"Perfect Stranger was ruined by the producers. Oddly enough, that film was meant to be a hard R rating, but when all the things that were meant to be in it were cut, except for the 'f**k's', they got a PG-13 rating. Weird right?

 

"I was disappointed with that film... Everyone tried hard, worked hard, but it was not to be."

I'm having trouble having an opinion now that I know this has absolutely nothing to do with Mypos and/or Cousin Larry. Or sheep.

I Find Myself Oddly Intruiged by Bruce Willis

Filed under: Bruce Willis

As much as I know that I've pointed out an inconsistency or two of his in that past, there is something about Mr. Bruce Willis that kind of makes me think that I might like him if we met in person. Sure, I have a feeling, I'd end up being tricked into being his DD more often than not, whenever we decided to go out, but I think it's his inexplicably functional relationship with his ex-wife that has me forgiving his occasional public displays of drunkenness.

 

Most recently, the Bruce articulated something that I'm led to believe he doesn't think anyone should listen to in the first place. Um...wha? It's like a mind puzzle. An awesome mind puzzle.

"I don't think my opinion means jack s**t, because I'm an actor. Why do actors think their opinions mean more because you act? You just caught a break as an actor. There are hundreds - thousands - of actors who are just as good as I am, and probably better. Have you heard anything useful come out of an actor's mouth lately?"

 

He adds, "Although I liked George Clooney's documentary on Darfur."

Oh, Bruce. Don't ever stop drinking. And seriously, I totally love him.
