Caught In The Net: Quentin In The Name Of

Leonardo DiCaprio is about to pop his Tarantino cherry. But can he hold a candle to Samuel L. Jackson?

Máire Rowland, 05 Sep 2012

Excitement is building for Quentin Tarantino’s next venture, Django Unchained. Jamie Foxx has revealed Samuel L. Jackson’s performance is so impressive it’s causing sleepless nights for his fellow cast members who are worried about acting alongside the Pulp Fiction star! Hard to imagine Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz and blockbuster veteran Leonardo DiCaprio being too anxious. To see what the fuss is about, check out the full trailer… youtube.com/watch?v=JJx09hnNEVA.

Who’d have though in 1998 that baby-faced Jack Dawson would be starring in a film by the Pulp Fiction director? Shows how DiCaprio has developed as an actor. Not unlike the artistic progression of pop’s alternative queen Gwen Stefani. The platinum blond beauty wowed fans with her inventive solo album but now seems to have reverted back to her runners-wearing, high pony-tail ways with the release of a new No Doubt single. Internet gossipers have spotted that the new song bears more than a tiny resemblance to a certain Paris Hilton single – decide for yourself… popjustice.com/briefing/its-important-that-we-treat-gwen-stefani-like-we-would-treat-any-other-popstar/96022.

Frequently irritated by people texting at gigs? So is Bruce Dickinson and at a gig in Indiana the Iron Maiden frontman let it be known... thequietus.com/articles/09430-bruce-dickinson-texting-fan

Still pining after the Boss following his triumphant gigs in the R.D.S.? Well the whopping 17-page piece on Springsteen in the New Yorker should keep you ticking-over newyorker.com/reporting/2012/07/30/120730fa_fact_remnick.

Online for a while but worth a revisit is Squarehead and Patrick Kelleher’s hilarious sketch that takes the mickey out of Irish bands youtube.com/watch?v=P_E4-SIDkoo. Lastly an interesting new video from No Monster Club feat a singing dog being driven around Dublin: vimeo.com/45786661#.
