The Justin Files, 5/16/08

Getting paid to exist
If you're a celebrity in this day and age you can get paid just for going about your life. Getting married, having kids, what's next, going to the DMV? So word on the street is that People will pony up $1 million for the exclusive pictures from the (alleged) upcoming wedding of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz (from Point rockers Fall Out Boy). On the heels of that news is the speculation on how much the exclusives of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins are going to go for, with some experts speculating that the pix could fetch up to $10 million.

All that just for existing.


Sex and the City early reviews
The first reviews of the upcoming Sex and the City movie are starting to come out, and it seems that it might not be so sexy after all. Variety was first at the trough, calling the movie "a trifle half-hearted" and saying that it's basically "A regular episode bloated to five times it's customary length".

Ouch.

You can judge for yourself when the flick hits multiplexes on May 30th.


Quick Hits
* The American Idol final is set. It'll be the Duel of the Davids when Archuleta and Cook battle for the title on Tuesday.

* When you're a former Idol who hasn't fared well in the music biz what do you do? If you're Taylor Hicks you follow in the footsteps of Fantasia, Clay Aiken, and others and hit the stage. He'll take on the role of "Teen Angel" in Grease on Broadway next month.
