++ Celebrities To Flock To Democratic National Convention21st July, World Entertainment News Network
This year's Democratic National Convention (DNC) is becoming a haven for Hollywood A-listers - Ben Affleck, Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee have reportedly booked their appearances at the event.
The convention - taking place next month in Denver, Colorado - became a hit in the music scene after booking acts including Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Wyclef Jean to perform. Event organizers have yet to release an official list of confirmed performers and talent.
But DNC spokesman Damon Jones confirms: "We are expecting lots of people to be here, big names, small names and everyday American names."
Other celebrities guests expected to attend the convention include: Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Susan Sarandon, Forest Whitaker and actor-turned-director Ed Norton - who is working on a documentary about Obama.

++Comic-Con: 'Incredible Hulk' screenwriter Zak Penn discusses strife with Edward Norton 25 July 2008, by Vanessa Juarez ew.com
Yes, [the fallout] prevented me from collaborating with him [during production]. I don't really know the guy, he has his own process and he chose to do it the way he wanted to do it. That said, I kept in touch with the people making the movie — but he, you know, has his own particular way of working and...it was unusual. I really don't know, I wasn't there, I was off making another movie, so it wasn't a situation where I was banging on the door saying, 'Let me come to the set.' But that was disappointing, I won't deny it. I wasn't happy with him coming to Comic-Con saying that he wrote the script. I can't tell you that made me go back and watch Fight Club." . . . more

Edward Norton just believes that he can make the film great. He wants to be apart of the movie too. When he believes in his ideas, he wants to make it happen. It may be hard for some people to work with him, but as long as the film comes out great, there really is no problem.

Added the Glen Wilson photoshoots to the gallery. Edward Norton is smokin'. I also changed the look of onlyedwardnorton.blackapplehost to a simple graphic link to the gallery and the home. Before it was the first look of the website, which wasn't ready for opening. I orginally wanted to use blackapplehost but I could not upload certain pictures because they exceeded the limit. Enough talk. Check the images out HERE.

Here is an interview by Drew Barrymore. I don't know if this is real or not. I found it from findarticles.com. Judge for yourself whether it is real or not.

++ Edward Norton Interview, by Drew Barrymore April, 1996
DREW BARRYMORE: I'm going to start at the very beginning, if that's O.K.
EDWARD NORTON: All I should say is, this is my first time.
DB: I know. I'm very excited I get to break your interview cherry.
EN: So go easy on me.
DS: I will, I will. Now, tell me where you're from.
EN: I'm from Columbia, Maryland. But, I would rather not go too much into that side of things for personal and professional reasons.
DB: You're a tough nut to crack, Norton. When did you start acting?

Added tons of images into the gallery! These include random premieres and photocalls, The Illusionist premiere and the Illusionist promotional movie stills.

I also added two awesome movie clips into the clips section. Interviews are a lot harder to obtain. If you come to this fansite often, you'll see the word 'awesome' written repeatively, not because of my poor vocabulary, it's just my 'catch phrase'. Lame I know. Hope you enjoy the media updates!

I love the next article. If you ask me, I prefer Edward Norton not being in the spotlight than causing scandals and always being in the tabloids. What do you think?

++ Why Edward Norton is Under-Publicized by the Media.... Is the Publicity Game Fair? 08 Feb 2007, Renee Morway
Norton does not do things in his personal life that are outrageous or over-the-top to cause the media to bombard you with his name. You do not see Norton proposing at the Eiffel Tower. You do not hear wild tales about his secret love child, legal problems, or sexcapades. Norton does not exploit or allow his personal life to be exploited for the sake of publicity. You never see Edward Norton pull any cheap publicity stunts. He keeps it clean. He keeps it real and he keeps it about the work. He prefers to keep his private life just that, private!
Do Norton and other celebrities who desire privacy pay a price for it? Are they deprived of publicity they deserve and have earned through their work? Do the media give actors and celebrities more credit for their personal shenanigans than their talent?
Who cares, right? These celebrities make so much frigging money they get paid to be harassed and have their personal lives torn to shreds for the entire world to see, right?
Wrong! The way I see it, an actor is paid to entertain us on the screen. When we pay $11.00 for a movie ticket it entitles us to see the character the actor portrays, that's it, nothing more. $11.00 barely buys anything nowadays, never mind carte blanche admission into a person's private life. When I pay my dentist or cat sitter for their services, which is much more than $11.00 by the way, it does not make me privy to all of their personal business. It is a good thing, too, because I do not want to know, just like I do not want to know about actors. I never could understand the morbid fascination John and Jane Q Public have with actors' private lives.
Now, I hear some people say that actors put themselves in public life, in the spotlight, and that they know what they are getting into when they enter the acting profession. They claim that huge paychecks are grounds for actors to put up with the paparazzi and all of the bull. I say, "Bull!" The public puts actors in the spotlight because they are so insatiably nosy. Celebrity rags and hound dog reporters put actors in the spotlight because they are so desperately greedy to make a buck. The celebrity gossip industry is a multi-gazillion dollar industry and that is why actors' private lives are splattered all over the world. If there was no money in it, you can bet your bananas it would not happen. Of course, some actors are guilty of trying to suck every ounce of publicity out of the celebrity gossip circuit cow's teat until they gag on globs of guzzled money. So, when you think about it, you really have to admire an actor like Edward Norton who does not resort to cheap publicity stunts... more

Here's an old article published in December 2006 where the reviewer compared the book to the film. I don't want to read the book. I love the film. It's simply perfect. It is Definitely the best performance by Edward Norton, and he is impressive in all of his movies.

++ A Plague Infects the Land, as Passion Vexes Hearts Even better, the new film gives us ample opportunity to spend time with Ms. Watts, whose remarkable talent helps keep movie faith and love alive, even in the tinniest, tiniest vehicles. This version of “The Painted Veil” has been transparently adapted to flatter its leading man, who coaxed the film into existence over a number of years and, with Ms. Watts, serves as one of its producers.
Dry as dust on the page and nearly as hard to grab hold of, Walter registers as a far more robust character on the screen. The novel centers on Kitty and contains large swaths of her cogitating and fretting by way of the third person narration, but the film opens up the story to embrace her and Walter more equally . . .more

Here are the reports on Hollywood Box Office Chart. The Incredible Hulk is number five after only being released for three weeks. So far it has made a total of $115,859,210, with last week making $9,577,245. It is above The Love Guru. Thank God. I like Mike Myers, but it's starring Justin Timberlake and I don't want to watch him act. It's too painful. It's opened worldwide! Go check it out and support Edward Norton. If you've seen it, write your opinion of the film.

Added Pride and Glory Promotional Images into the gallery. Check out the official website for the film: www.prideandglorymovie.com

Edward Norton is getting some bad press about his Diva like behaviour.

++ Norton Behaves Like a Hulk, New York Post March 14, 2008 -- THEY might want to create a new Oscar for Edward Norton: Hollywood's Biggest Pain in the Butt. Word is Norton is warring with Marvel Studios over the final cut of "The Incredible Hulk," which he wrote and stars in but is threatening not to promote. The temperamental star's rep denied any serious friction, insisting: "Edward was brought on board by Marvel as a producer, screenwriter and actor, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that he has a lot of creative input into the postproduction process. His deal was for all three, and he takes those roles seriously." She would not elaborate on Norton's issues. The Oscar-nominated actor has a reputation for being difficult. Tony Kaye, who directed him in "American History X," charged that Norton reedited the flick to give himself more screen time. And screenwriter/director Joe Eszterhas cmhere2once cracked: "You don't want Edward Norton to star in your movie. He now rewrites all the scripts he agrees to act in." Universal Pictures, distributor of "Hulk," which debuts nationwide on June 13, had no comment.

++ Brad Pitt and Edward Norton catch RadioheadBrad Pitt and Edward Norton went to see a Radiohead concert on Wednesday night (18.06.08). The actors - who met when they starred together in 2005 movie 'Fight Club' - looked happy and excited as they attended the performance at Milan's Civica Arena in Italy. Edward has previously spoken about his and Brad's love of the British band, saying: "Brad and I had a mutual fixation on the second two Radiohead albums." Brad and Edward were also accompanied by Mariane Pearl, a close friend of Brad and his long-term partner Angelina Jolie since Angelina portrayed her in controversial movie 'A Mighty Heart' in 2007. . . . more

For a fan of Edward Norton, this is a serious issue. Not the Radiohead thing of course, they're my favourite band! If Edward Norton wants a lot of the control he should be a director for his next project. I'm having the same issue since I'm directing a short film for fun. Love ya Edward! Don't change a bit! But continue promoting the film since you're in it.

The new Hulk movie is looking a lot more interesting. Well, if it's starring Edward Norton, how can they go wrong. Am I right or what?

++ Few movies had as drastic a change in box office fortunes as Ang Lee’s 2003 Hulk movie. In its first weekend in the USA, Hulk earned a promising $62 million. The weekend after that it fell sharply to $18 million, and then to $8 million the weekend following that! Bad word-of-mouth sunk the film: it simply wasn’t what audiences expected. Walking out of cinemas screening it, the sheer disappointment amongst ten-year-old boys was palpable. Nothing had prepared them for the rather oddball art house flick meets superhero comic book that was 2003’s Hulk. All they wanted was to see was Hulk smash puny humans . . .more

++ Nikki Finke reports this morning that Edward Norton, the star, screenwriter, and producer of this summer's The Incredible Hulk, is battling Marvel over how to edit the movie. When he signed on, Norton was promised "tremendous involvement and access" and was invited to help rewrite Zak Penn's script, which sort of strikes us a mistake given his famously cooperative past . . .more

++ Edward Norton talked to Total Film magazine (via The Sun) and said there is no connection between upcoming The Incredible Hulk and 2003's Hulk . . . more

   Everything is linkable at this stage. I took a long time making all the pages. I decidede to make The gallery and screencaps different because the gallery host has a limit on the amount of galleries I create. The only reason I use a gallery host is because there's too many images. I added one clip from Everyone Says's I Love You. There's also a whole bunch of information if you have no idea what Edward Norton has gone through.

   Welcome to the grand opening of Only Edward Norton. There is barely anything on the site right now, but there will be daily updates so stay tuned!
