With a string of big-money meetings yesterday, Hillary Rodham Clinton set out to prove she's still the Toast of Tinseltown by raking in cash from A-listers like Warren Beatty and Madonna - two days after Dem rival Barack Obama gobbled up $1.3 million from the stars. Clinton held cash bashes with supermarket magnate Ron Burkle, Hollywood man-about-town Sim Farrar and megarich producer Haim Saban, and met with the bosses of uber-talent agency Creative Artists - all big Democratic contributors in the Golden State.
Creative Artists' stable of talent includes the likes of actors Jessica Biel, Matt Dillon, Michael J. Fox, Keanu Reeves and longtime Clinton backers Tom Hanks and Reese Witherspoon.
The private meetings throughout the day were all small-scale - with larger soirees slated for another Clinton trip to California next month. The small gatherings yesterday still produced A-list celebs like Madonna, Beatty and basketball legend Magic Johnson, the Hotline political blog reported.

Clinton has also already locked up support from actors Meg Ryan and Elizabeth Taylor and music great Quincy Jones.

The ultimate movie making catastrophe will be the core of a new comedy starring, and co-written by William H. Macy. Daily Variety reports Macy and Meg Ryan are set to co-star in The Deal, independently produced by Muse Entertainment, Dogpond/Sydnyk Works and Union Square Entertainment. Shooting will begin in March in South Africa.

Even a hint of the storyline could make a studio executive reach for the antacid and a Valium: Macy will play a producer who manages to put together a $100 million period action project. But when the film’s lead actor is kidnapped, the producer decides to forge ahead and make a different picture with the studio’s money, without letting on to the studio.

Macy and longtime collaborator Steven Schacter have been raising money to make the comedy for the last eight years, which is based on a comic novel by Peter Lefcourt. The pair almost got it off the ground as a telefilm for Showtime. When Showtime decided to cut back on original films, Macy and Schacter reorganized and reconceived the movie as a feature. There’s no distributor in place as yet, but that doesn’t worry Macy. In fact, he says, that was the plan. “The new paradigm in Hollywood is to make the movie, and if it's good, you'll get a distributor."

William H. Macy and perhaps Meg Ryan are set to star in the romantic comedy “The Deal,” based on Peter Lefcourt’s book. Macy has co-written the script, adapting from a novel, with creative partner Steven Schachter who will direct. Lisa Kudrow is officially out of the cast.
Monsters got a direct update from the production company in Montreal today that filming will commence March 26th, and be in Cape Town, South Africa, not Bucharest, Romania as previously reported by other news sources. Production Weekly summarizes the premise as a washed-up Hollywood producer Charlie Berns, played by Macy, has mailed in his updated obit and is about to buy the farm and fade to black when a miracle materializes: his nephew, a wannabe screenwriter from New Jersey, has scripted the life story of Queen Victoria’s prime minister Benjamin Disraeli, which Charlie manages to turn into a hot property that puts him player territory again.
Of course as the deal heats up, Hollywood makes a "few conceptual changes" that morph the project into "Lev Disraeli: Freedom Fighter," an action thriller with a black Jewish superstar, a Yugoslavian location, a mad Polish director, and a real-life kidnapping.

Meg Ryan and Matthew Perry have sparked rumors they are romantically involved after they were seen getting cozy in Los Angeles. Perry has been a regular guest at the actress' gated home in Bel Air, Calif. A source tells Us Weekly Perry was spotted arriving at Meg Ryan's home on Saturday night at 8:30 pm, saying she "had the gates open, just waiting for him." Perry, 37, and Meg Ryan, 45, were also seen dining out at The Brentwood restaurant in Los Angeles over the holidays. An eyewitness says, "They sat in a dark corner booth. Meg asked that the spotlight on their table to be turned down."
A source confirms Perry and his recent girlfriend, "The Class" actress Lizzy Caplan, 24, "are not dating anymore." Meg Ryan divorced actor Dennis Quaid in 2001 and briefly dated her "Proof of Life" co-star Russell Crowe.

We're working on completing the gallery. For now I'm adding these magazines that featured Meg on their covers :

There is just *nothing* going on right now... So I'm updating the site with a few screen captures. Meg Ryan in "Prelude to a kiss" & Meg in "Top Gun". And the affiliates have been added.

Somebody posted the trailer for "Homeland Security" on YouTube, so I thought you might want to watch it : click here! I also made a few screen captures of this trailer, they're in our gallery of pictures. Sorry for the bad quality but this is the best I could do with what I had.
While I'm here to update the site, I did check the affiliates and I had to remove 5 sites that were not linking us back, but the good part is we have 3 new additions, including James Marsden Online : this site actually chose Meg Ryan Network as their site of the month for December 2006 & January 2007. Thank you!!!
