DEMI MOORE HOSPITALIZED FOR EXHAUSTION & OTHER REASONS

Demi Moore at TIFF 2009

It is confirmed that Demi Moore was admitted to the Hospital after Paramedics arrived at to her home around 10:49 PM.  After completing a 30-minute long assessment, it was decided she would be hospitalized.  E! News reveals that sources are saying that she had been "acting like she was suffering from a seizure.”

A Statement was issued by Moore's Publicist stating, "Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health. She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends.”.

Other reports from Radar Online however, are citing that the Actress might have been suffering from an Eating Disorder which led to the seizure, while TMZ reports that she is being treated for Substance Abuse. People Magazine reveals that sources close to Moore and Ex-Husband Ashton Kutcher were aware that she had a problem with Prescription Drugs.

Unfortunately Moore no longer will be appearing as Gloria Steinem in Lovelace, which currently is filming, alongside Amanda Seyfried, Peter Sarsgaard, Adam Brody, Juno Temple, James Franco and more. Deadline reports that Sarah Jessica Parker has taken over the role.

Whatever the reason, it surely isn't easy. Send your positive wishes to Moore on Twitter here.

NEW CAST ADDITIONS FOR "LOVELACE": ONE OF TWO LINDA LOVELACE FILMS IN-PRODUCTION

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

DEMI MOORE & ASHTON KUTCHER SPLIT

Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore at TIFF 2009

It's over. Demi Moore has just issued a Press Release confirming her plans to Divorce from Ashton Kutcher. Straight to the point, it reads "As a Woman, a Mother and a Wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life.".

Moore, who is 16 years Kutcher's senior, has been married to him for just-over six years now.

The Divorce is the latest in a downward spiral for Kutcher after a great start to the year which saw him sign-on at an estimated $800-900k per episode of hit Series Two and a Half Men. More recently he enraged many on Twitter after showing  support for resigned Penn State Head Football Coach Joe Paterno, who was aware of a Child Sex Abuse Scandal involving Jerry Sandusky who had reported to him, failing to take action.  And that's why we need Publicists.

MILEY CYRUS, ASHLEY GREENE AND DEMI MOORE TO HEADLINE "LOL"

This actually looks pretty enticing.  One of my new favourite obsessions Miley Cyrus, is set to star in upcoming film LOL: Laughing Out Loud, based on a French film in which a teenage girl is dumped by her boyfriend.  

The girl however, winds up falling for her boyfriend's best friend, played by newcomer Tanz Watson, not only adding a few twists to the plot but also the interesting element of dynamics in an interracial relationship which might not be as controversial as it once was.  Demi Moore who is in dire need of a juicy role, is attached to play Cyrus' mother and Hung-ky Thomas Jane will be playing her father.  Twilight's newest It Girl Ashley Greene will be playing Cyrus' arch-nemesis.  LOL will hit theatres in 2011.

TIFF DAY 4 - UP IN THE AIR AND THE JONESES REVIEW

Just got home and I'm taking a quick break to feed Billy, my dog. Earlier today I watched a screening of Jason Reitman's Up In The Air, a follow-up to Juno which screened at TIFF a couple years ago to rave reviews. I must say that I was left with a very positive impression of this film; Reitman has done it again.

The story centers around George Clooney who is a motivational speaker, employed by a company which serves to terminate employees for corporations around the country. He is paired up with a rookie played by talented newcomer Anna Kendrick (Twilight). They both learn some important life lessons from one another about the meaning of love as they travel across the country. Clooney meanwhile, gets involved with the always excellent Vera Farmiga and decides to take her along back home to his younger sister's wedding, where the story unravels. He is faced with the greatest challenge of his life - finding out what he really wants in life after being convinced he did not want love in his life. Clooney's performance is nothing short of amazing and I fully expect him to be in the running for Best Lead Actor come Oscar season. Reitman's script is full of sheer wit and the laughs just kept coming. Up In The Air opens November 13, 2009. Grade: A-

As an aside, Oscar winning filmmaker Michael Moore was sitting a row behind me at Elgin Theatre, enjoying Up In The Air with his wife. He was very friendly and kindly posed for a photograph. Moore is in town to present his latest work Capitalism: A Love Story tonight also at Elgin Theatre.

Later in the day, I caught the debut screening The Joneses at the same venue. In attendance today were David Duchovny, Demi Moore and her partner Ashton Kutcher. The film is from relatively new director Derrick Borte. I happened to run into Ashton Kutcher on my way out of the rest room; he seemed a bit unapproachable. Actually, he is quite photo shy. Moore and Kutcher were seated a couple rows away from me and they munched happily on popcorn throughout the film. And if anyone wants to know the secret to Moore's amazing young looks, I'd say it appears to be the amount of water she drinks!

The film is about a group of Buzz Marketers managed by Moore. They situate themselves in an affluent neighbourhood with a mandate of turning locals onto products they are hired to promote. They do this under the guise of being a family. Although the film starts off entertainingly as a comedy, it seems to struggle in deciding whether it is in fact comedy or a drama. The tone of the second half of the film takes an unexpected twist I'd say, for the worse. The love story between Moore and Duchovny did not seem believable at all as they two had little on-screen chemistry. Moore is consistently strong and overall the acting was great. The main culprits were the poorly constructed plot and script. Not certain how this film will fare when and if it gets a wide release. Grade: C+

Here are some pics below I managed to get of Moore, Duchovny and up-and-comer Amber Heard.

And on the way out of the screening, I couldn't resist getting a few snaps of Kutcher and Moore looking lovey-dovey:
