Third ‘Bill’ not due for 15 years

Madrid, Spain — Quentin Tarantino said Monday he plans to shoot a third part of the “Kill Bill” vengeance series.

“I have plans, actually not right away, but like in 15 years from now, I’ll do a third version of this saga,” the director said at a news conference to promote “Kill Bill — Vol. 2,” which opens in Spain next month.

Tarantino said part three would focus on the daughter of a hired killer that Uma Thurman’s character bumps off early in her revenge spree.

Asked whether violence seduces audiences, Tarantino said: “You better believe it. I mean that’s one of the reasons why it’s so cinematic. It can be very enthralling. I’ve always said Thomas Edison invented the movie camera to show people killing and kissing.”

Communication breakdown

Hanoi, Vietnam — Concert organizers on Monday blamed communications glitches for forcing the last-minute cancellation of what would have been the biggest international music show ever scheduled in Vietnam.

The second annual World Peace Music Awards had been set for today at Hanoi’s My Dinh National Stadium, with performances from artists including Lionel Richie, Gloria Gaynor, Hootie and the Blowfish and the Black Eyed Peas.

The concert’s executive producer, Matt Taylor, blamed a “glitch” in communications between organizers and Vietnam Airlines, the national carrier and one of the show’s sponsors, for botching arrangements for ticketing and transportation of performers and equipment.

The concert, supported by the United Nations, was to honor musicians including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary for their protest songs during the Vietnam War.

Houston sets China date

Shanghai, China — Whitney Houston will make her debut concert appearance in China with a July 22 show in Shanghai.

Houston, 40, is widely known in Asia for her rendition of “I Will Always Love You,” from the movie “The Bodyguard.”

The Grammy winner entered a drug rehabilitation center in March but received a lifetime achievement award at the Women’s World Awards earlier this month in Germany.

Fair and balanced — not

Flint, Michigan — Michael Moore’s new movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11” has raised temperatures in Republican circles — and that’s intentional.

“I would like to see Mr. Bush removed from the White House,” the filmmaker told the host of ABC News’ “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

“It’s an op-ed piece. It’s my opinion about the last four years of the Bush administration,” Moore said Sunday. “I’m not trying to pretend that this is some sort of, you know, fair and balanced work of journalism.”

Moore’s film charges that the Bush administration acted ineptly before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, then played on the public’s fear to gain support for the war against Iraq.

The Bush administration denies the allegations.

The film opens nationwide Friday.
