Morgan Spurlock Reality 'Leaking' Isn't Treason ... It Would Be a Great Doc!
Morgan Spurlock is applauding Reality Winner for "stepping up" to help Americans get closer to the truth ... even though she's been charged with leaking a classified NSA document.
We got the "Super Size Me" filmmaker at LAX, and he was very candid about Winner's arrest. He stopped short of calling it BS, but said he thinks government whistleblowers are a necessity these days ... especially if it relates to Russia.
As for what happens to Winner going forward -- Morgan will be keeping a close eye, because he'd love to tag-team with an Oscar-winning documentarian to tell her story.

Regina King Making Cinderella Hip Hopera With Rap Legend
"American Crime" actress Regina King and legendary Brooklyn rapper, Dana Dane are turning Cinderella into a dude with a whole lotta swag for a movie adaptation of Dane's 1987 hit "Cinderfella."
We're told the script is complete and the two are shopping around for actors. There's talk Ice Cube might hop onto the project.
"Cinderfella" was one of Dana's biggest hits ... the lyrics puts the Cinderella story in the hood. Instead of a fairy godmother, Dana rapped about his fairy godfather, Hurb, and instead of glass slippers, Cinderfella shows up to the party in a pair of brand spanking new Ballys ... one of which gets left behind.
King already has a good track record with Cinderella flicks. She starred in the remake "A Cinderella Story" which was a hit at the box office.

'Breakfast at Tiffany's' Bringin' Bougie Back ... With Holly Golightly Gear
Holly Golightly, Hollywood's first rom-com queen, is about to make a huge comeback in the marketing and merch world ... or at least, that's the plan.
The "Breakfast at Tiffany's" character, famously played by Audrey Hepburn in 1961, has had a pop culture resurgence lately ... thanks, in part, to a key scene in HBO's "Big Little Lies" -- and Paramount, the studio behind 'Breakfast,' is ready to cash in.
The studio filed legal docs to secure "Holly Golightly" for use on purses, parasols, gloves, coats and a bunch of other bougie gear.
Rest easy, cinefiles -- Paramount's rep tells us the trademark filing is purely about making dough off merchandise, and there are NO plans to reboot the classic.
See, Hollywood makes good decisions too.

Mark Zuckerberg Finally Gets Harvard Degree ... James Earl Jones, Too!
Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook and made billions upon billions, but he never did get a degree from Harvard ... until now.
Mark was presented with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree Thursday at what would've been his alma mater if he hadn't dropped out to chase his FB dream back in 2004. He also delivered the commencement speech to this year's graduating class.
Zuck joked, "If I get through this speech today, it will be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard."

Taraji P. Henson Maserati Massacre on Movie Set
Taraji P. Henson crashed a Maserati into a fire hydrant ... and the hydrant won.
Taraji was in Lawrence, Massachusetts Sunday on the set of her movie, "Proud Mary" ... shooting a scene where she was behind the wheel of the super expensive sports car. She had done 4 takes without incident, but on the fifth she cut the wheel too hard and slammed into the hydrant.
The "Empire" star was not hurt, but the Maserati was definitely the worse for wear. The hydrant had just gotten a fresh coat of paint so that's down the drain, but otherwise the car suffered way more damage.
Sounds like it was definitely an action shot ... they had been filming an explosion scene the entire day.
One production source said she wasn't the best driver. The good news ... we hear the movie is awesome.
As for the damage, a Maserati expert tells us it'll cost around $12k for proud Mary to keep on rollin'.

'Clerks' Star Lisa Spoonauer Battled Illnesses for Years ... Death Still Shocked Family
'Clerks' star Lisa Spoonauer had been sick for years prior to her death last week ... still her family says her death was far from expected.
Sources close to Lisa's immediate family tell TMZ ... she'd been battling several chronic illnesses for 10 years prior to her death Saturday. The illnesses were not disclosed, but were described as degenerative.
We're told Lisa's family was aware of her ailments, but never suspected her condition was bad enough to kill her. Although she'd been in and out of hospitals for years, she died at home.
The coroner says Lisa died of natural causes, which her doctor signed off on -- a sure sign one of her many illnesses triggered the death.
"Clerks" writer and director, Kevin Smith, shared memories of casting her in the movie that changed his life. Lisa was 44.
