Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria is under hot water by film distributor Maya Entertainment. In the actresses new movie Without Men she engages in lesbian scenes and Spain’s distributor has pulled those scenes from the movie.

Maya Entertainment sent a notice to a local festival director about the cut scenes and shortly afterwards the festival director cancelled the films showing.

Without Men follows the story of a Latin American village of women who attempt to rebuild their town after all of the towns men are recruited by communist guerrillas. The movie which also stars Christian Slater was released on DVD in June throughout the United States.

Speaking to the Associated Press Xavier Daniel, director of the Barcelona International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival said:

“We are very angry that a distributor can modify the content of a film. The audience will not understand the film, because all the lesbian scenes are cut out … It is unbelievable in the year 2011.”

At this time Maya Entertainment has not explained their homophobia based reasoning for cutting the scenes.

Do you find it ridiculous as Xavier states that a film company in 2011 is so homophobic that they would actually cut apart a movie because of lesbian scenes?

Winona Ryder has confirmed rumors that first surfaced in 2006 and have been doing the rounds ever since: there’s a sequel being worked on to the 1989 cult classic Heathers.

“Whatever you hear, there is a sequel in the works. I swear to God,” Ryder told Us Weekly. “But for some reason the writer Dan Waters and director Michael Lehman don’t want to talk about it. I’ve been wanting to do a sequel forever. There is a story, and Christian [Slater] has agreed to come back as a kind of Obi-Wan character.”

Heathers, a black comedy starring Ryder, Christian Slater, and Shannen Doherty portrayed four girls in a trend-setting clique at a fictional high school in Ohio. The girls—three of whom are named Heather—rule the school through intimidation, contempt, and sex appeal, until Ryder and Slater use murder as a tool to change things. The movie was a box office failure, but went on to gain cult status, and rightly so: it was one of the best teen movies to come out of the 80s.

On the bright side, at least they’re not remaking it.

1989′s twisted black teen comedy Heathers is being turned into a musical.

The movie started Winona Ryder and Christian Slater as a murderous pair who slowly kill off the ruling clique at their high school.
According to THR, Andy Fickman, director of “Race to Witch Mountain,” is developing Heathers the musical, along with Kevin Murphy and composer Larry O’Keefe, who earned a Tony nomination for best score for the Broadway version of “Legally Blonde.”

Readings for Heathers the musical took place this week (sort of like an audition for musicals) with Kristen Bell playing the lead and Christian Campbell as J.D.

The musical is hoped to be ready for a regional production in 2010, followed by a Broadway run.

I must confess, this was one of my favorite movies as a teen, and although I haven’t seen it for years, I still remember it vividly. If you’ve never seen it before, here’s the original trailer:

NBC has canceled the Christian Slater action series My Own Worst Enemy and comedy-drama Lipstick Jungle.

My Own Worst enemy debuted October 13 this year, and follows the life of American secret agent Edward Albright and his cover alias, Henry Spivey who has no knowledge of his double life. Albright, played by Christian Slater, is implanted with a chip that allows his handlers to physically switch Albright’s personality to that of his alias. However, in the pilot episode, there is a malfunction which starts Albright’s personalities switching at random, revealing his secret life to his alias.

Yeah, the definition of the show (via Wikipedia) sounds only half as bad as the show itself was.

Lipstick Jungle lasted a little long than My Own Worst Enemy, having first hit TV screens in February 2008. Based on the best-selling book by Candace Bushnell, the show followed three high-powered friends as they weather the ups and downs of lives lived at the top of their game. The cast included Brooke Shields.

Both shows were canceled due to poor ratings. There’s no word yet whether My Own Worst Enemy will be pulled immediately off screen, or serve out its remaining filmed episodes.
