For Paris Hilton, a Bad Hair Day is way up there on the list of horrors.

ON THE BALL: A new film about a soccer-loving priest who founded Scottish football club Celtic is being billed as "Gangs of New York" meets "Field of Dreams" with Daniel Day-Lewis potentially in the title role.

 

"Paradise" tells the story of an Irish priest, Brother Walfrid, who established the now legendary club at a Catholic church in Glasgow in 1887.

 

Day-Lewis is seen as the perfect choice to play Walfrid in the film whose distribution rights is being sold at Cannes, trade press reported, quoting market insiders.

 

 

SOLZHENITSYN BIOPIC: Will Vladimir Putin be watching it?

 

Newly-formed production company Primeridian Entertain says it is making a movie of the dissident writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn, based on a biography by D. M. Thomas.

 

With books such as "The Gulag Archipelago," "The First Circle" and "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch," Solzhenitsyn scourged the Soviet Union for which Putin is so nostalgic.

 

Primeridian has been launched by wealthy Russian-born actor Arcadiy Golubovich and Hollywood producer Tim O'Hair. Cyrus Nowrasteh will write and direct, according to trade sources.
