Directed by Left Brain/ Right Brain's Malachi Leopold, the film tells the true story of two lovers: Alex, an American Peace Corps volunteer; and Ali, an Iranian Muslim. As of this writing, the two have been separated for more than 33 years. But this Fall they will be reunited. I Am the Water, You Are the Sea will document their reunion, in addition to telling the epic true story of their forbidden love in Iran in the 60's and 70's.

A suburban Chicago movie theater owner is suing adult film star Jenna Jameson, alleging she faked sickness in order to skip appearances and instead attend the birthday party of celebrity blogger Perez Hilton in late March. In a lawsuit filed in May, owners of the theater allege the actress canceled and refused to reschedule after the chain spent "thousands" of dollars to promote appearances by Jameson.

The suit claims hundreds of tickets were sold in advance, and the theater stood to make "tens of thousands" on the event, in which Jameson was to get a minimum $10,000 cut in addition to first-class airfare and hotel stays. A book signing was also scheduled, as was a screening of her 2008 film "Zombie Strippers!"

The suit alleges the plans folded when an agent for Jameson said the actress had a "medical emergency" that prevented her from traveling. The suit states that the cinema received a "vague doctor's note," but later learned she allegedly attended "Perez's Blue Ball" in Hollywood after pictures surfaced on the Internet. The suit also alleges that Jameson refused to reschedule the event, which was part of her contract if she were to miss the original event.

This story has two morals. First, it's a reminder that celebrities can be difficult to deal with. Second, in the Internet era no one has secrets.

Since it's summer I thought we should have a little fun--well at least as much fun as you can have in an insurance newsletter. According to Fox Business, these are some of the "weirdest" insurance policies in existence.

Who would insure "Ugly Betty" star America Ferrera's smile for $10 million? NFL star Troy Polamalu's locks for $1 million? Supermodel Heidi Klum's legs for $2.2 million? In order: Aquafresh, Head & Shoulders and Braun. Big insurance makes big headlines for the manufacturers that pay celebrities big bucks to promote their products. Despite their eye-catching face value, such promotional policies are quite reasonably priced for one simple reason: They're unlikely to ever pay out. Lotion companies, for example, are famous for insuring their leg models' legs for a million dollars. Such a policy might only cost $1,000.

If Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards jams a finger and can't perform the opening riff to "Start Me Up," he has a $1.5 million disability income insurance policy to back him up.

Entertainers and professional athletes sometimes insure their best asset against loss of income if they're unable to perform. Notable body-parts policies include soccer star David Beckham's $70 million legs, Bruce Springsteen's $6 million voice, "Lord of the Dance" Michael Flatley's $40 million lower half and KISS front man Gene Simmons' $1 million tongue.

When Hollywood's A-list gathers at Oscar time, major special lines insurers are glued to their TV screens, hoping the Academy Awards come off without a hitch. The Oscar celebration itself is insured for everything from a towering inferno to terrorism as well as much of its sparkle. In fact, in 2004, Lloyd's of London was on the hook for $38 million for the combined jewelry adorning Oscar guests.

Weird insurance and Hollywood go way back. In the 1920s, comedic film star Ben Turpin insured against his trademark crossed eyes suddenly uncrossing for $20,000 (they never did). Marlene Dietrich and Betty Grable insured their legs; Bette Davis her waistline. One studio even took out a $1 million policy against the possibility that one of its actresses would fall in love and get married before her contract was up. During the early 1900s, one studio insured filmgoers against death from excessive laughter at the movies.
