Lake Bell up for 'Orgy'

Signs on to Gregory and Huyck's indie comedy

Lake Bell is the latest to join the orgy.


The actress has signed on to the indie comedy "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" in North Carolina, starring alongside a cast that includes Leslie Bibb, Michelle Borth, Will Forte, Lindsay Sloane and Jason Sudeikis.


Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck are co-directing the comedy they co-wrote about thirtysomething friends on the verge of major changes in their life who celebrate their last Labor Day together in the Hamptons with an intimate party.


Bell plays Columbia University-educated Alison Cohen, who can't help but dish out unsolicited advice despite being unhappy with her own life and dysfunctional relationships. Doomed to a life of breakups and makeups, the orgy might be her lifeline to happiness.


Bell won over audiences as Cameron Diaz's snarky sidekick Tipper in the recent Fox/Regency Enterprises comedy "What Happens in Vegas." She recently wrapped New Line's crime drama "Pride & Glory."


She recently earned outstanding performance in acting honors at the Newport Beach Film Festival for her role in the indie thriller "Under Still Waters."


Bell is repped by UTA and the Burstein Co.

On her first eponymous album from 2002, Fernanda Porto elegantly interracial electronica (for the most part drum'n'bass) with more traditional Brazilian popular music styles such as bossa nova, maracatu, and samba. The fact that she put much thought and exertion into the lyrics (she likewise adjust poems to music) strengthened the already sophisticated airwave of her strange firebrand of drum'n'bass. The album was wide lauded by the critics and was as well a commercial success in Brazil. This prompted the Trama record book label to acquittance the album internationally about a year later, and Porto also went on a promotional tour through Europe, the U.S., and Japan.


Having her first album released when she was already well over 30 long time old made it seem like Porto's musical talent sprung up virtually from nowhere. That isn't quite the case, though. When in her twenties, Porto studied music at the University of São Paulo, specializing in pianoforte, and during the '90s she composed songs and performed regularly on diverse stages about São Paulo and Brazil. She also composed the soundtracks of a duo of movies.


Porto's second album, Giramundo, was released in December 2004 and confirmed her condition as one of the most talented artists of the Brazilian pop scene. Giramundo had a less electronic and more organic sound, which Porto herself described as "acoustic drum'n'bass," and which as well corporate elements of rock and roll. Working with her on this album were bassist Doug Wimbish and drummer Will Calhoun from the American rock ring Living Colour. The most prominent guest artist on the album, however, was Chico Buarque, world Health Organization lent his voice to "Roda Viva" (one of his possess compositions), which Porto had turned in to a quite phrenetic drum'n'bass tune. That version of "Roda Viva," asset deuce other interpretations of Buarque songs, would also appear on Porto's soundtrack to the film Cabra Cega by Toni Venturi.

Spielberg Wants To Take Back Dreamworks

Steven Spielberg is planning to make DreamWorks a separate, independent film company again -- and is trying to raise more than $1 billion in financing to do so, the Hollywood Reporter reported today (Tuesday), citing no sources. Spielberg, who reportedly plans to terminate his personal contract with Paramount at the end of the year, has made no decision yet on who would distribute DreamWorks' movies, but, according to the trade paper, he is leaning toward Universal, although he might use a potential distribution deal as leverage in his negotiations with Paramount, which acquired DreamWorks in 2006. The Reporter also indicated that Disney and Fox may also propose deals to distribute DreamWorks' product.
