Hollywood Money Man Kavanaugh Faces Jail For Second DUI

8 December 2008 8:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Movie producer Ryan Kavanaugh is facing jail this week, after he was arrested in October for driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding and driving with a suspended licence, all while still on probation for an earlier DUI charge.

The 34-year-old financier, whose Hollywood credits include Charlie Wilson's War, 3:10 to Yuma, 21 and the forthcoming musical Nine, was reportedly stopped by cops as he drove home from a film premiere in Los Angeles on 23 October.

It comes just two years after he was arrested for driving drunk in Malibu, California.

News of his arrest emerged on Friday, as it was revealed he will be arraigned at a Beverly Hills court on Friday 12 December.

A jail term could be handed out for both the second DUI charge and for violation of the probation he was placed on in 2006.

Kavanaugh's Relativity Pictures has big money deals with almost every major movie studio, including a $550 million (GBP366 million) partnership with Sony Pictures and a recently-signed $3 billion (GBP2 billion) contract with NBC Universal.

But Hollywood bosses are standing by Kavanaugh. Sony spokesperson Jim Kennedy tells the New York Times, "We do not anticipate that this will have any impact on our current business." »

21 Is No. 1

31 July 2008 10:38 AM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »

Sony's 21 debuted at the top of the DVD sales charts, rental charts, and Blu-ray charts last week. The film, which earned $81.2 million when it was released in theaters earlier this year, yanked Disney's Step Up 2 the Streets off its perch on the sales charts and Lionsgate's The Bank Job off its perch on Home Media magazine's rental charts. Riding the tails of The Dark Knight, a limited-edition gift set of Batman Begins remained at No. 3 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart. »

Spacey Denies 'Diva' Claims

22 June 2008 7:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey has blasted reports of his expanding entourage, insisting he always travels alone - except when he has a media engagement.

The 21 star was rumoured to have hired a host of extra helpers to assist him on a daily basis - taking them everywhere he goes.

A source tells Britain's Ok! magazine, "He's got bodyguards, several publicists, a make-up artist, a personal hairdresser, someone styling him..."

But Spacey's representative has dismissed the claims, saying: "A publicist, a groomer and security are there when he does press. Just like they are for any other stars." »

Boozy Bosworth Has No Memory Of Sex Scene

27 March 2008 6:25 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actress Kate Bosworth has no recollection of her love scene with co-star Jim Sturgess in new gambling film 21 - because she was so drunk.

The Superman Returns star drank to calm her nerves before the revealing scene - but admits she overdid it.

She says, "We were both so drunk. Jim and I became such good friends, we decided to have a couple of drinks, loosen up and go for it."

Sturgess adds, "We were on Grey Goose (vodka), I think. It was brilliant for about half an hour. As we continued to drink, it just became sloppy and messy. I couldn't stand up at one point."

In 21, Bosworth and Sturgess play college students who use their brains to break the bank in Las Vegas. »
