The plot:

Boogie Woogie is a deliciously lurid comedy of manners, its colourful cast of characters devouring each other in a small world awash with big money. Set against the backdrop of contemporary London and the international art scene, it casts a satirical eye at the voracious appetites and questionable morality of some of its prime exponents. Dealers, collectors, artists, wannabees vie with each other in a vicious world in which success and downfall rest on a knife edge.

Some infos about the characters:

Elaine Yoon, a tattooed, pierced, Chinese-Californian lesbian who obsessively seduces straight women, films video shorts of her sexual conquests to compile into “a really cool piece.”

Jo Richards, an intellectually challenged installation artist grappling with the idea of peripheral vision, knows of what is supposedly Mondrian’s last painting in his abstract Boogie-Woogie series, which the owners might be persuaded to part with for very little.

Art Spindle, a cravat-wearing, reptilian art dealer, desperately wants to sell the Mondrian, when he isn’t lusting after his staff, or sleeping with Jean Maclestone

Jean Maclestone, collector and art-hag, the vain wife of stuttering ber-collector Bob Maclestone

Freign, the exceedingly proper manservant, through whose interior monologue we hear about his exploits as both a lover and a killer, attends to Mr. Rhinegold

Mr. Rhinegold, the bitter, housebound, elderly owner of the Mondrian

Dewey Bozo, a ridiculously camp wannabe curator with a taste for SM wants Spindle to do his next show, but instead settles for Beth Freemantle

Beth Freemantle, a ditzy former employee of Art Spindle, who after an inheritance, has some plastic surgery and opens her own gallery.

X FILES co-stars GILLIAN ANDERSON and DAVID DUCHOVNY are reportedly locked in a battle with the producers of their new movie over an explicit love scene.

The duo – who play FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in the hit TV show – are pleading with bosses to axe a bedroom scene involving the pair from the new X Files movie.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, “There was one draft of the script where Mulder and Scully have a bedroom scene but it looks like that has been put on hold.

“David and Gillian are concerned about having the characters involved in some kind of love story, as they feel that was the beginning of the end of the original show. “Negotiations are on-going.”

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ — On Thursday, November 15, 2007, Artists for a New South Africa (ANSA) will host “Shaking The Blues,” a star-studded benefit, at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. The evening combines the power of music and activism to shake off our blues — from the personal to the global — and make a difference in the world. The event will feature blues-influenced musical artists as well as a multi-cultural array of renowned entertainers who are donating their time and talents to the fight against HIV/AIDS in the US and Africa.

The event begins with a pre-show cocktail party for major donors at 6 PM. Shaking The Blues performances start at 7:45, immediately followed by a VIP after-party. Those confirmed to appear include Erykah Badu, Nikka Costa, Keb’ Mo’, Taj Mahal Trio, and The Roots, with Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson serving as the event’s musical director. Additional highlights include appearances by George Lopez, Jurnee Smollett, Blair Underwood, and other special guest stars soon to be announced.

Shaking The Blues, which continues ANSA’s tradition of presenting one unique and extraordinary major fundraiser annually, is chaired by Dianna Cohen & Jackson Browne, Myrna Colley-Lee & Morgan Freeman, LaTanya Richardson Jackson & Samuel L. Jackson, Ann & George Lopez, Deborah Santana, Alfre Woodard & Roderick Spencer, and Keisha Nash-Whitaker & Forest Whitaker. Host committee members include J.J. Abrams, Gillian Anderson, Johnny Clegg, Danny Glover, Dule Hill, Quincy Jones, Norman Lear, Lebo M, Alexandra Paul, Chris Rock, Cicely Tyson, Blair Underwood, Alice Walker, Denzel Washington, and other luminaries.

“Last year, ANSA was honored to host the 75th birthday celebration for our dear friend and advisor Archbishop Desmond Tutu,” said ANSA’s Executive Director Sharon Gelman. “He embodies the belief that justice and love will ultimately triumph and maintains a remarkable sense of humor, even in the face of enormous challenges. It is activists like him who inspire us to shake off the blues and take action to fix our world. That’s the spirit of Shaking the Blues, which promises to be one of ANSA’s best events ever.”

Proceeds from the event will support ANSA’s work in the US and Africa. ANSA will also donate a portion of the proceeds to the Treatment Action Campaign, the grassroots organization that is at the forefront of South Africa’s fight against AIDS.

ANSA is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization working in the US and South Africa to combat HIV/AIDS, safeguard voting rights and democracy, advance human rights and equality, and assist and empower AIDS orphans and other at-risk youth. By working in partnership with effective grassroots organizations and pivotal movements on the frontlines of these issues, ANSA makes a substantial difference. Founded in 1989 to support South Africa’s quest to end apartheid and build a new democracy, ANSA is now dedicated to eradicating social and health inequities that are the legacies of apartheid, segregation, and generations of poverty. In the past decade alone, ANSA has raised $9 million for effective African programs, shipped 70 tons of medical supplies and books to impoverished communities, and educated millions of adults and young people in the US, South Africa, and across the African continent about HIV/AIDS and voting rights.

David Duchovny decided to ignore warnings to evacuate his home in Malibu over fires spreading throughout the area.

Hollywood stars such as Titanic director James Cameron and singer Olivia Newton-John agreed to leave their houses after firefighters warned them of the dangers.

But the former X Files actor and his family refused to go anywhere, despite the fire destroying a castle that was once owned by Bob Dylan, a church and five homes in the area, as well as causing one death.

A spokesperson for the fire service in LA said: “He’s safe for now”.
