THE EXPRESS PRODUCTION STILLS

In Theaters October 3, 2008

Director: Gary Fleder
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Rob Brown, Omar Benson Miller, Clancy Brown, Charles S. Dutton
Synopsis: Based on a true story, The Express follows the extraordinary life of college football hero Ernie Davis (Rob Brown), the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy. His fight for equality and respect forever changed the face of American sports, and his story continues to inspire new generations.

Raised in poverty in Pennsylvania coal-mining country, Davis hurdled social and economic obstacles to become one of the greatest running backs in college football history. Under the guidance of legendary Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder (Dennis Quaid), he became a hero who superseded Jim Brown's achievements and set records that stand to this day.

Decorated veteran Schwartzwalder was a Southerner with a single vision of a national championship and hardened ideas about how the world worked. But though he and Davis clashed mightily, he taught the player everything he knew about football, just as Davis helped him learn the true meaning of victory.

As the growing civil rights movement divided the country in the '60s, Davis became a symbol for achievement that transcended race. Refusing to flinch from others' prejudices, he achieved all his goals—until he faced a challenge that would make most men crumble. He joined the ranks of black pioneers by teaching a generation tolerance, inspiring a movement that smashed barriers on and off the field.

WINEHOUSE NEEDS A CAREER BREAK, SAYS FORMER MANAGER

AMY WINEHOUSE's former manager would rather the troubled star beat her alleged drug addiction before releasing another record.

Amy Winehouse arriving home from court clutching her arm after reportedly hurting it during a clash with photographers earlier in the day. London, England - 04.06.08

Pop supremo Nick Godwyn signed Winehouse to 19 Management when she was just 16.

And Godwyn thinks it is time for the Rehab hitmaker to have a career break, so she can concentrate on her personal life.

He says, "What is happening now is not very pleasant for anybody to watch. I feel she seems to be sad.

"People talk about wasted talent, but I don't look at it like that. If Amy never made another record again it would be sad, but it's less about the music for me and more about, 'this is a human being that maybe isn't very happy'."

And Godwyn believes the 24-year-old has always lived an unhappy life.

He adds, "There were signs, even back then, that she wasn't happy.

"You can listen to the words of her songs and there aren't many happy, upbeat love songs.

"And I think that's a reflection of where she is. She only writes songs from personal experience.

"There are some beautiful songs which, lyrically, are fascinating. But some of them are quite sad."

FORENSICS TESTIFY AT KELLY'S TRIAL

LATEST: R. KELLY's child pornography trial has heard that a fingernail-sized mark seen on the lower back of the man in the sex tape was not a mole, but video distortion.

R. KELLY

The troubled R+B star stands accused of videotaping himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl.

The Bump N' Grind hitmaker's defence team recently told a Chicago, Illinois court that the person in the explicit video could not be their client, because the two men bore key physical differences - most noticeably a dark fingernail-sized mole on the star's back.

The jury has heard testimony from the prosecutions forensic expert, who matched a mole on the singer's back to that of the man in the sex tape.

But on Thursday (05June08), defence witness and video analysis expert Charles Palm claims the black mark appears - and disappears - because the video has been duplicated so many times.

He says, "I see a black mark but it doesn't appear to be a mole."

Kelly has pleaded not guilty to all 14 counts of child pornography. The trial continues.

JESSE MCCARTNEY'S LOVE FOR BRIT WOMEN

Singer/songwriter JESSE McCARTNEY has blasted Los Angeles women for being shallow - saying he prefers 'cool' British girls, such as LEONA LEWIS.

Jesse McCartney performing at Z100's Zootopia Concert held at IZOD Center. East Rutherford, NJ - 17.05.08

The 21-year-old praises the females of Britain for their laid back attitude, compared to the try-hard style of their American peers.

He says, "I live in Los Angeles and the girls there may as well be battery operated. Bleached blonde hair, perma-tans and gravity-defying breasts.

"It's as though they've just stepped off a factory production line. Not only do they all look the same, they are super-duper shallow, which I find such a turn-off."

McCartney, who wrote Leona Lewis' smash hit Bleeding Love, says spending time with U.K. women is refreshing.'

He adds, "For starters, your accent is pretty damn sexy.

"It makes you sound more intelligent, cultured and well educated too - and that's never a bad thing."

PETE DOHERTY FAILS TO SHOW FOR PARIS GIG

British rocker PETE DOHERTY left French fans disappointed on Thursday night (05Jun08) when he failed to show up for a Paris show.

Pete Doherty at his impromptu gig at Jazz after Dark in Soho. London, England - 03.06.08

The troubled star was due to perform at Le Grand Rex in Paris, but left fans waiting for three hours and then missed the gig completely.

Initial rumours suggested Doherty had been hospitalised, but these reports were quickly denied.

As WENN went to press, it appears Doherty was stuck on a Eurostar train, which was delayed for four hours.

He arrived in Paris at 11pm - too late for his Babyshambles appearance at le Grand Rex.

Fans managed to catch the opening act, French singer Daniel Darc, but were left very disappointed by Doherty's no show.

One devotee was just relieved that her hero wasn't hospitalised. She told WENN, "I'm disappointed of course, but I'm also relieved to know that it's only because of an Eurostar delay, and not because he's been hospitalised."

O'NEAL GETS CANDID ABOUT DRUG PROBLEMS ON STREET CORNER

A candid TATUM O'NEAL staged an impromptu press conference on the streets of New York on Wednesday (04Jun08) after she was cornered by cameramen and journalists quizzing her about her drug arrest.

TATUM O'NEAL

The embattled actress has been charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance after cops caught her exchanging money with a dealer three blocks from her home.

But rather than run away from her problems, O'Neal chose to address the media members who followed her out of her home of Wednesday afternoon, and then stopped to chat with them as she waited on a street corner for a taxi.

The 44-year-old said, "Every day is a great day if I'm not using," before insisting, "I have peace in my life, I made a mistake... I have a very good life. I made a bad mistake and unfortunately I'm well known and this is what happens."

O'Neal also told the gathered press that she was attending a 12-step drug abuse program daily, adding "That's really helping."

The actress concluded her 10 minute street corner chat by telling the media members, "It's an everyday struggle and you try to do the best that you can and some days, unfortunately, it doesn't pan out the way you'd like it too."
