Jailed 'Austin Powers' Actor Allegedly Killed Cellmate

Already serving time in jail for raping and torturing a woman, 40-year-old actor Joseph Hyungmin Son is the top suspect in the murder of his 50-year-old cellmate. Son -- who starred as Random Task in 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,' a play on the 'Goldfinger' character Odd Job -- was sentenced to life in prison last month after being convicted of felony torture, a charge that stemmed from an incident that occurred on Christmas Eve in 1990. His unnamed cellmate was a 50-year-old male serving a two year sentence for failing to register as a sex offender. In 1990, the actor and a friend kidnapped a woman, repeatedly raped her and threatened her with a firearm before letting her go free. Son was never charged with the heinous crime until an unrelated arrest in 2008 forced him to give a DNA sample which was then linked to the attack. "I feel debilitating fear come over me and am convinced a hand is coming from behind again," said Son's victim, only identified as Jane Doe, in court. "My emotional scars are intense. My 20s were stripped from my life as I relearned how to walk, see, hear and cope with the outside world again. Joseph Son not only cost me my job at my salon but also my college savings ... not to mention the impact it's made on celebrating Christmas year after year." Wasco State prison officials have only named Son as a suspect in the death of his cellmate. A full investigation will take place before charges are filed. TMZ reports that since the incident, Son has been moved to solitary confinement. [via LAT, TMZ] [Photo: AP] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook RELATED

Netflix Scraps Qwikster, Ben Stiller's 'Zoolander' Makes SNL Comeback

Stop your lamenting about Netflix's plan to divide their company in two, because they have already cancelled the launch of their sister site, Qwikster. Announced only three short weeks ago, Qwikster was supposed to take over the DVD rental service that Netflix previously offered. But the immediate consumer backlash led Netflix CEO Reed Hastings to realize that maybe that wasn't such a great idea. He announced today in a statement that the new business model has been scrapped, and Netflix will remain Netflix for the foreseeable future. Check out the rest of today's film news after the jump! Sony Planning Steve Jobs Biopic? With news of the death of former Apple CEO Steve Job still sinking in, Sony has begun negotiations to honor the visionary with a biopic. Deadline has the news, and says that the film will be based on the upcoming Walter Isaacson biopic, "Steve Jobs," that will be released later this month. No word yet on the expected turn around time for the movie. FilmDistrict Sued Over "Drive" Marketing Many would count the fact that "Drive" is nothing like this year's "Fast Five" as a good thing. Not so for Michigan resident Sarah Deming, who filed a lawsuit against FilmDistrict because the marketing for the Ryan Gosling flick misled her. "[The studio] promoted the film 'Drive' as very similar to the 'Fast and Furious,' or similar, series of movies," the suit reads according to Moviefone. "'Drive' bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film... having very little driving in the motion picture." There's no denying that "Drive" was selling a different movie than it actually was, but Deming's suit seems a bit extreme. She is calling for the end of "misleading movie trailers," and is also saying that the film contained "extreme gratuitous defamatory dehumanizing racism directed against members of the Jewish faith." Zoolander Returns In Visit To "Saturday Night Live" Ben Stiller hosted this week's "Saturday Night Live," and during the Weekend Update segment brought back his cult character Derek Zoolander. It's no secret that Stiller has been working on a sequel to the 2001 film "Zoolander," so we're hoping this is just a smart publicity stunt. Watch the hilarious segment below.

Real Life Quarterback Princess Wins Football Game, Homecoming Crown in Same Night

Back in 1983, a young Helen Hunt starred in the CBS telefilm Quarterback Princess, the true story of a plucky Oregonian teenager named Tami Maida who made it onto her high school’s all-male football team and nabbed the homecoming queen crown, marking a triumphant moment for female athletes. Last week, Brianna Amat of Pinckney, Michigan did the same; after being crowned at halftime during homecoming, the 18-year-old returned to the field to win the game for her team. Technically, Amat is a kicker and not the quarterback for the Pinckney Pirates, but still; as a tomboy of the ’80s I adored and watched Quarterback Princess so many times, I’ll always root for any girl who wants to play with the boys. (Also see: Little Giants, Necessary Roughness, and Backfield in Motion for the same, albeit with varied results.) From the NY Times: When she arrived, she was told that her fellow students had voted her queen. When the tiara was placed on her head, she was wearing not a dress, like the other girls in the homecoming court, but her No. 12 uniform, pads and all.A short while later, with five minutes to play in the third quarter, Amat was called to the same field to attempt a 31-yard field goal. She split the uprights.The kick proved decisive as Pinckney held on for a 9-7 victory against a Grand Blanc team that had come into the game ranked seventh in the state in its division. It also earned Amat the nickname the Kicking Queen. As for Quarterback Princess (which co-starred a young Daphne Zuniga in her second screen role and was directed by Noel Black, who also made the Phoebe Cates ’80s flick Private School and the soap teen series Swan’s Crossing), trailer and clips are apparently nowhere to be found online. So just trust me; it was a great, rousing picture. Helen Hunt gets a pass for life just for being a part of it. The Kicking Queen [NYT]
