catfish directors sign on to paranormal activity 3

Looks like part 3 of the Paranormal franchise is shaping up nicely!

Back in January, we heard that Disturbia writer Christopher B. Landon was signed on to write Paranormal Activity 3…BUT then he contacted us and said that nothing was confirmed yet.

Now it looks like Landon has been officially attached to write the script, and the film has also signed on Catfish's Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman to direct.

According to reports, the story for PA 3 revolves around "a family being terrorized by the entity from the first two movies in the 1980s."

As we said in January, let's hope that this movie is written with the same care as the first two, and then kept as a trilogy. It would be a shame to see this franchise jump the proverbial shark, like the Saw series.

Are U excited for Paranormal Activity 3? Do U think the Catfish guys are right for the project?

Sounds cool. Catfish was a good movie. I actually enjoyed the 2nd even more than the 1st. I totally disagree about the 'trilogy' thing. If this makes $, and it will, there WILL be more.

I thought that Catfish was a piece of cinematic genius. I'm sure they'll do a great job.

It would be cool if the movie took place back in the day -day. Like when Christy's Great great great grandma (i think it was) made pact with demon for wealth. -Remember in P2 the daughter looked up online at the family history and found out about the demon wanting the first son. Anyways, it would be cool seeing the "pact" be made between their Great great g-ma a the demon!

I absolutely cannot wait for the third movie! The first two movies were so good! I agree with Chasenip that the second was scarier than the first.

Alleged Murderer Black Madam Reveals That Kanye West Dropped Off Amber Rose To Get Butt Injections From Her

Amber Rose's name was brought up in the murder trial for rapper slash butt implanter Black Madam, aka Padge-Victoria Windslowe, on Friday in Philadelphia.

Windslowe has been charged with third-degree murder of model Claudia Aderotimi in 2011, when she died eight hours after getting injections in a bathroom.

So, Rose's name was revealed as one of Black Madame's former clients. She said Kanye West dropped Amber off for injections, and that she "was like a walking billboard… She brought a lot of girls from VH1."

She also added that Nicki Minaj was going to come in for a "correction," but that didn't end up happening.

Windslowe said all of this to prove that she was one of the best in the butt-plumping biz, even if she didn't have a medical license.
