Jacqueline Bisset’s in a heck of a fix. Her hubby Alan Alda has been seduced by promises of fame and fortune from creepy concert genius Curt Jurgens, and is responding to weird overtures from Curt’s daughter Barbara Parkins. The pianist’s mansion is stuffed with occult books, and he displays an unhealthy interest in Alda’s piano-ready hands. Do you think the innocent young couple could be in a diabolical tight spot? Nah, nothing to worry about here.

America's most famous family has prestigious ties across the pond.
In an interview with Heat magazine, British Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed that he is "13th cousins" with the Kardashian family.
Cameron and the Kardashians are direct descendants of the two daughters of Sir William Spencer, who was born in 1555, according to Entertainment Tonight.
Although Cameron said he doesn't watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians, maybe he can make a cameo on his cousins' show. We'd pay many pounds to see the prime minister work a shift at Dash or help stage an intervention for Rob.

He’s one of the most powerful men in the world and it also turns out that David Cameron has some very famous relatives.
While appearing on “Heat,” the British Prime Minister confessed that he doesn’t watch “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” however, “I’m related to them! 13th cousins!”
It all traces back to a 16th century ancestor named Sir William Spencer who is tied to both the Cameron clan and the Kardashian lineage, though it seems any familial resemblance was lost generations ago!

Marriott, as it looks to become the Red Bull of the hotel industry, is planning a number of digital media projects across multiple platforms. One of the most intriguing offerings in Marriott's pipeline is Two Bellmen, a short film starring a pair of stuntmen. The trailer for that project is now available, and it is full of acrobatic action.
Two Bellmen is co-created by Marriott Content Studio and Substance Over Hype, a collective of dancers, stuntmen, extreme athletes, and other active people. For this particular film, Substance Over Hype has cast stuntmen William Spencer and Caine Sinclair as the titular bellmen. Through an assorted collection of flips, punches, and kicks, the two bellmen will stop an art heist at their hotel. Judging from the short trailer, slow motion will be used liberally.
The co-producers of Two Bellmen are Marriott Content Studio CEO David Beebe and Evan Cholfin. Cholfin, a former Break Media employee,...

When "Amazing Spider-Man 2" wraps shooting, director Marc Webb will be able to put together one mighty impressive scrapbook. Webb has been tweeting pictures from the film's replica Times Square set for the past few weeks, as evidenced by our two previous TwitPic Round Ups.

The Stunt Elf (William Spencer) plans what we hope are some of Spider-Man's aerial exploits.

People went ga-ga over Spider-Man's new costume, set to debut in "Amazing Spider-Man 2." The new costume is quite faithful to the source material, somehow managing to put the old super-accurate Sam Raimi-era costume to shame. But not so fast, new costume fans! The redesigned duds from the first film are apparently making at least a cameo in the new film.
Andrew Garfield's stunt double William Spencer has Tweeted a picture of him wearing the familiar costume on the set of "Amazing Spider-Man 2." Check out the picture below.
Spider-Man News, the site that first reported the pic, theorizes that director Marc Webb will work Spidey's new suit into the story and give Peter Parker a reason to change up his look. As long as the new suit gets plenty of screen time, we're fine with that.
Because that new suit looks great.

How much are you willing to pay to get Larry David to join Twitter?
So far, 65 people have pledged nearly $7,000 to charity to catapult the funnyman into the Twitterverse. Charity Bribes, a new company that bribes celebrities to take on tasks in the name of charity, is hoping the Curb Your Enthusiasm star will finally start hashtagging his heart out to benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council. The website reads: “He’s hilarious. He’s not on Twitter. He should be. If we raise enough we can convince him.”

Larry David isn't on Twitter ... yet.
Charity Bribes, a new website dedicated to bribing celebrities to do good deeds by raising money for charity, is currently trying to make it happen. If the bribes actually work, all the funds will go to charity. If not, no one is charged.
In this case, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Larry David is being bribed to join Twitter. The bribe's mission statement reads:
He's hilarious. He's not on Twitter. He should be. If we raise enough we can convince him.
The website was created by Chris Baker and William Spencer, a pair of freelancing ad copywriters, reports The Los Angeles Times. Baker and Spencer have been working on the project for close to a year, and it finally launched a few weeks ago.
However, there is one slight snag in their little celebrity experiment. Charity Bribes has already collected nearly $7,000 in pledges to get David on Twitter,...

Charity Bribes, a new website, hopes to bribe celebrities to do things in exchange for donations to good causes. The site, run by Chris Baker and William Spencer, presents a possible bribe to its users, along with a cause that pledged contributions will go to and a time frame in which to raise donations, reports the Los Angeles Times. Their first target: Larry David. The site hopes that if they can raise enough money for the National Resources Defense Council, the comedian will set up a Twitter account. David hasn't yet agreed to set up an account and there's no guarantee he'll agree to cooperate. If he doesn't, the people who pledged money won't have to pay a cent, which is how Baker and Spencer want it to be. They feel that the possibility the celebrity won't cooperate will make the process more exciting for users. Future bribes will be...
