Did Jonah Hill have to be rescued from the ocean after drunk swimming in Australia? No, but that story was running rampant. Jonah cleared up the rumors, saying he was only wasted and being awesome.
Jonah and Channing Tatum were in Sydney to promote 21 Jump Street, and they jumped in the ocean after sucking down several drinks during their 14 hour flight. It was only 9:30 in the morning there, but they had been flying all night.
Jonah started swimming in the ocean and when he looked back, he was really far out. Some locals yelled at him that he shouldn’t be out that far, so he swam back and got out of the water. But somehow, that story got blown out of proportion and it was being reported that Jonah had to be rescued from the ocean!
Jonah told the local news, “The next day we hear, ‘Oh, you had to be rescued by two guys yesterday.’ This is like the worst rumor, that I’m some loser who had to be air-rescued. I was a mile out further than any of the locals. I was just being awesome and wasted. I was going to choke a shark on my thighs if it had come to it. We had a blast.”

Steve Soderberg found funding for his movie again; he just had to dump Blake Lively from the lead role.
Steve, who produced Michael Clayton and Ocean’s Eleven, was working on a new film called ‘Side Effects‘, and Blake was up for the lead role. She was going to play a depressed wife that didn’t like the idea of her husband being released from prison so she popped a lot of pills and found herself in trouble. But once the movie execs found out that Blake would be the lead, they dropped the financial backing for the movie.
Steve had to make some changes, so he switched the title to ‘Bitter Pill‘ and cast The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara to play the lead instead… and the movie immediately found financing!
Channing Tatum is going to play Rooney’s husband, and Jude Law and Catherine Zeta Jones will also star in the film.

Blake Lively had a major blow to her self esteem. She was dissed by some major movie producers!
She was rumored to be the lead in Steven Soderbergh’s movie Side Effects, where she would play a pill-addicted woman in the middle of love triangle with Jude Law and Channing Tatum.
But once the producers heard that she would be in the movie, they decided they didn’t want to finance it anymore. But she hasn’t even secured the role yet! Now the movie needs some financial backing, and they hope to find someone at the Sundance Film Festival.
