Lindsay Lohan's credit cards declined

Lindsay Lohan's credit cards were reportedly rejected on a shopping trip.

The 'Mean Girls' actress is said to have attempted to make a purchase worth $300 at the Rag & Bone shop on Mercer Street in Soho, New York over the weekend, but was left red faced when the store wouldn't accept her cards. A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Lindsay was trying to buy something for around $300 but her credit cards were declined. She looked really embarrassed and tried to negotiate before her friend finally stepped in and paid." A representative for the 27-year-old star - who is said to be so strapped for cash that the production company behind her reality show on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network had to pay the security deposit and rent for her apartment - denied the reports as "completely false." The news of her cards being rejected comes just hours after it was reported that she had parted ways with her personal assistant Matt Harrell because she couldn't afford to pay his wages. A source said: "Lindsay would love to have Matt back as her assistant, but she just can't afford him. He did a really good job for her." Retrospective: Source: Starpulse.com, Image: flickr.com

British starlet Carey Mulligan stood out on the red carpet wearing a strapless crimson gown, while Leonardo DiCaprio looked dapper in a navy blue suit with a closely clipped beard. The film centers on Nick Carraway (Tobey

Maguire), who leaves the Midwest in 1922 and goes to New York City during a time of loosening morals, jazz music, bootlegging and sky-rocketing stocks. Nick ends up in a circle of friends that includes millionaire partier Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio); his cousin Daisy Buchanan (Mulligan); and her philandering, rich husband, Tom (Joel Edgerton). Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super wealthy and their illusions, loves and deceits.

for the soundtrack to "The Great Gatsby, and the song has been getting a lot of buzz in just a couple of days. The song, co-written by music producer Mark Ronson, debuted on Ronson's radio show "Authentic Sh*t" on New York City's East Village Radio on Saturday. "It's a wonderful sort of take on our song," Ronson said. "I'm flattered and honored. I know Amy would be too." Despite Ronson's praise for the song, the reception for it hasn't been good at all, as evidenced on Twitter -- especially from Amy's father, Mitch. Carey Mulligan 'Terrified' About Her 'Gatsby' Role: Carey Mulligan  has  become  a  nervous  wreck
while waiting to shoot The Great Gatsby - because director Baz Luhrmann is taking several months to cast her co-stars. The Brit saw off competition from the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively to win the coveted role of Daisy Buchanan in Luhrmann's upcoming adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel. She was the Aussie moviemaker's first official casting for the new project, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton and Isla Fisher subsequently coming on-board over a period of several months. However, Mulligan admits the delay in shooting has left her feeling "terrified" as she worries about how to portray Buchanan and devours Fitzgerald's other works. She tells Empire magazine, "(I'm) terrified, of course I am. The whole thing was always meant to happen now, it's just (Luhrmann) cast me back then and then I think he started casting everybody else. (It was) just more time for me to freak out at home on my own. "(But) it's been so interesting, I've had so much time and
I've been able to read so much Fitzgerald. I've had a lot of time to get into it so I can't wait to start." Indian Icon Amitabh Bachchan Lands Hollywood Debut Opposite Leonardo DiCaprio: Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan is set to make his Hollywood debut in Leonardo DiCaprio's new movie The Great Gatsby. The veteran Indian actor has landed a role in the big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic tale, as Meyer Wolfsheim - a Jewish man with a penchant for gambling. Production on the film  recently began in Australia, and director Baz Luhrmann is overjoyed to welcome Bachchan to the set. The filmmaker says, "(I am) personally thrilled that one of the world's greatest screen legends, Amitabh Bachchan, is joining the cast. "Over the years, Amitabh's films have made a tremendous impression on my life and work. His film Sholay was my introduction to Indian cinema." Starpluse.come, Image: flickr.com

Lincoln: Movie Review

Hey there Chaos fans! I know I've been away for a bit, but its because I've had a lot going on... I need a vacation! Haha! Anyways, I'll be posting this week with some pics from my emerging Khorne Bezerker force, and maybe a book review (I'm nearly done with Deliverance Lost too). However, I have a movie review for you, so without further ado: It may or may not be a secret to longtime readers of this blog, but I am a history nut (that's what my wife calls me, at any rate). I love United States history, and I have admired Lincoln for sure. The truth is, I have been dying to see  this movie, but I was also afraid. The cast sounded top notch (Lewis? Jones? Straithirn? What a cast!), and I was hoping that this movie would be smart and powerful, but I was afraid because Spielberg was the man  behind the camera. At one point, 
Spielberg would have been a no brainer- giving us Indiana Jones trilogy, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Close Encounters, and of course, Jaws. However, he has been on a bit of a rough patch in the 21st century- I mean, he nearly ruined Indy with Crystal Skull, for heaven's sake! The war machines of War of the Worlds were fantastic, but the human element was all over the map (the audience I saw it with cheered- yes cheered- when Dakota Fanning was taken by the martians- that's how annoying she was). Minority Report was just OK, and AI was just a mess. Yes, so I had reason to fear with this- which Spielberg was going to show up?  Thankfully, there was nothing to fear here, as old Spielberg showed up and simply told a story. It is not a simple story by any stretch, but it was simply told, without schmaltz, fancy tech, or explosive action, or trickery. No, this story didn't need any of that- it just needed someone
with courage to do the story justice, allowing it to develop at its own pace, and using the actors to their fullest. And thankfully, Spielberg and company did just that with "Lincoln". In fact, the movie is beautiful, elegant, meaningful, and even occasionally humorous, while the acting is top notch all around.The true success of the movie is its choice of scope. The movie is wise to focus in on one fight that Lincoln had to go through during the last days of the Civil War- a wider biopic would have diluted the proceedings. Just about everyone knows Lincoln as the the young "rail splitter", the Illinois lawyer, the "Great Emancipator" and as the president who put the Union back together; he is also tragically known as the first president to be assassinated. His whole life could be fodder for a movie, and I'm sure the temptation to do a sweeping biopic of his life would be there for any filmmaker. Instead of looking at Lincoln's whole life
