Come on, now, Jackie, what’s your big rush?

Jackie Chan says the third installment of “Rush Hour” is stuck in neutral because co-star Chris Tucker is making too many demands.

“He wants too much power,” Chan says. “The movie company hasn’t obliged. He wants final editing rights and the final look at the movie and so on.”

Chan called Tucker a “good friend” but questioned whether he had the stature to be so demanding.

“How many movies has he made?” Chan said. “Two movies have already made him very famous and made him a lot of money. He needs to learn slowly.”

Meanwhile, Chan said he’s going ahead with a project with Chinese director Zhang Yimou (“House of Flying Daggers,” “Hero”).

Working in his native Asia allows him to take more risks with film roles, Chan said:

“In America, it’s just ‘Rush Hour 1,’ ‘Rush Hour 2’ and ‘Rush Hour 3,’ then ‘Rush Hour 4.’ If ‘Rush Hour 4’ fails, that’s it. But if it doesn’t, there will be ‘Rush Hour 5.’ “

Star power for towers tale

Hilary Swank and Kevin Costner will narrate the upcoming film “On Native Soil: The Documentary of the 9/11 Commission Report.”

The feature-length film tells five stories of survival and examines the 9/11 Commission’s final recommendations. It features interviews with victims’ families, Sen. John McCain, a former FBI counterterrorism official and the former head of the CIA’s Osama bin-Laden desk.

That’s R, as in irony

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., makes his feature film debut in “Wedding Crashers,” the raunchy, R-rated tale of two Lotharios who try to pick up women at weddings.

As the online Drudge Report has noted, it’s a curious move for a former presidential candidate who five years ago conducted Senate hearings in which he took Hollywood to task over its raft of R-rated films.

Eileen McMenamin, McCain’s communications director, said when the senator signed on, he understood the film would be rated PG-13.

“He agreed to do the cameo role for a fee, which he donated to charity,” she added.

Which would explain a lot about Lucy

A former star of the “The Dukes of Hazzard” TV show is urging fans to skip the forthcoming movie version, calling it “a sleazy insult.”

Ben Jones, a former Georgia congressman who played the wisecracking mechanic Cooter on the popular series from 1979 to 1985, said profanity and sexual content in the film make a mockery of the family-friendly show.

“Basically, they trashed our show,” Jones said. “It’s one thing to do whatever movie they want to do, but to take a classic family show and do that is like taking ‘I Love Lucy’ and making her a crackhead or something.”

The film, starring Seann William Scott, Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson, opens Aug. 5.

There’s something about bare she

Cameron Diaz says she’s not ashamed of topless pictures taken early in her career by a photographer who later allegedly tried to blackmail her with them.

Diaz testified Thursday in John Rutter‘s criminal trial that she wasn’t enthusiastic about releasing the pictures, although she believed she looked good in them. “At least I have that going for me,” she recalled thinking.

Rutter is charged with attempted grand theft, forgery and perjury. He faces up to six years in prison.
