While on the show the siblings reiterated what they had told OK! magazine in June about what they were looking for in their girls.

Kevin, 20, emphatic that they travel a lot and his little girl would need to adapt.

"We're not of all time really with people 'cause we're constantly traveling," Kevin said. "And you come on the phone and they're like, 'My sidereal day is awed, blah,' and you're like, 'This is not what I need right now!' "

Joe, 18, doesn't want any nagging.

"This is laborious, but if they ar nagging and annoying, you're like, 'Go away.' "

Nick, 15, who rattling shouldn't be dating says, "They have to be good to their moms."

Mythic unveils 'Ironclad'

James Purefoy in negotiations to star

Related Content Complete Cannes coverage

James Purefoy is in negotiations to star in the period actioner "Ironclad," the first pic from newly minted production, financing and sales entity Mythic International Entertainment. Paul Giamatti is circling a role in the $30 million project, which is being helmed by Jonathan English ("Minotaur").


Based on a legendary story, "Ironclad" is set in 13th century England and tells the story of a formidable Knight Templar and his "Magnificent Seven" who defended historic Rochester Castle against the tyrant, King John, and his mercenary army. Purefoy would play the knight opposite Giamatti's King John.


Richard Attenborough, Pete Postlethwaite, Angus Macfadyen and Colm Meany have also joined the project, set to begin filming this fall in Europe.


Co-producing with Mythic are Zephyr Films and Picture Park. Sales veteran Glenn Kendrick Ackermann is selling the film in Cannes and has already closed multiple territories.


Mythic was launched earlier this year by U.S.-based producer Rick Benattar ("Shoot 'Em Up") and U.K. producer/attorney Andrew Curtis ("Lost in La Mancha"). Curtis, with a background in entertainment law, is doing double duty as partner and head of legal and business affairs. Ackermann is running the sales arm.


Mythic will act as a fully-fledged production company which develops and finances its projects. It also provides gap financing and is currently negotiating a substantial revolving facility with Adrian Ward of National Bank of California. Two private equity groups in London and New York provide financing for the company's slate.

Fire Burning Near Mayer's House

John Mayer seems to ignite everyone and everything around him! After spending the night at girlfriend Jennifer Aniston's house last night, the singer drove the actress's Range Rover from Beverly Hills to his home in Pacific Palisades.

Just after 2 p.m. PT, with Jen's Range Rover parked outside for all the world to see, a fire broke out across the street from John's house.

OK! can confirm that Mayer was home at the time and we are awaiting comment from the Pacific Palisades Fire Dept.� No word on whether the fire is contained but fire officials are on sight helping to put it out.

[Ed. note: someone might want to tell John that his neighborhood is on fire! Just a thought.]

Stay tuned!

Janet Jackson - Jackson Sends Dog To School

JANET JACKSON has been forced to send one of her three beloved pet bulldogs to school - because he's so naughty.

The pop superstar had hoped to take all three of her pooches on her upcoming tour with her, but it looks as if one dog will miss out on the dates - because he doesn't get along with her other two mutts.

She explains, "He's in Atlanta in obedience school because there are two of them (bulldogs) that aren't getting along. That's more important to me right now than him coming on tour."
