George Clooney Has Quite a Potty Mouth

Cassie Murdoch — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:45:00 EST

Newsweek recently held its annual Oscar Roundtable, which features actors talking to each other about their craft. Here's a snippet of George Clooney relying on a steady stream of swear words as he discusses his strategy for making movies these days. Yes, he admits he makes his money by doing commercials, but only so he can do the movies he wants. And if you think that means he's a sell-out, he's got a simple message for you: "Fuck you!" Whoa, George, you're awfully worked up for someone who can do whatever they want, whenever they want! More »

Lauri Apple — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 12:20:32 EST

Matthew Wilder has dropped Lindsay Lohan from Inferno, his biopic about porn star Linda Lovelace, citing "the impossibility of insuring her—and some other issues." Aw, and she was so excited about the part. Chin up, LiLo! More »

Give Mariah Carey Some Green Tea Already!

What parts of your life would you describe as "la-la-la-la?" Mariah Carey dishes on the years at Sony, her Mariah-isms, how the mustache she donned in Precious isn't her "no make up look," and beating up Brett Ratner. [Newsweek] More »

Critics say Coco Before Chanel, which comes out today, is an unusual biopic in that it focuses solely on who Coco Chanel was before she became famous. Some say it ends too soon, before revealing what made her a legend. More »

Australia: "Overblown, Utterly Preposterous And Insanely Entertaining"

Baz Luhrmann's newest film, Australia, has a lot to live up to. It's the director's first film since his smash hit Moulin Rouge! and (as the film's title suggests) the film has taken the unenviable role of attempting to fully capture the history of the director's homeland. Starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, Australia has a lot going on: an opposites-attract love story, a cattle drive, a WWII bombing raid, discussions about race and at one point, a rendition of "Over the Rainbow." Does Luhrmann succeed in making a new, modern classic? Read the collected reviews after the jump. More »

Quantum Of Solace Is "One Brutalizing Bummer Of A Ride"

Well it's here, the 22nd James Bond installment, Quantum of Solace, opens today nationwide. Starring every American woman's Secret Boyfriend, Daniel Craig, this installment bears little resemblance to the Bond films of the past. Craig has been both praised and criticized for his portrayal of Bond as a less campy 007, and in this installment, Bond has gone off the grid to hunt down the killers of his former lover from Casino Royale, Vesper Lynd. The revenge theme and sequel-like plot rubs some critics the wrong way; who would rather see the pun-ready, lady-bedding, Martini-sipping Bond over Quantum's new Jason Bourne-esque action hero. Some collected reviews after the jump. More »

Rollergirls Are A Hit In New Jersey • Georgia O'Keeffe To Get The 'Lifetime' Treatment

• Women's roller derby is becoming popular in New Jersey, where seven leagues with more than a dozen teams have been created since 2005. • Fox Japan and Fuji TV network have announced that they're making a Japanese version of Sideways. • A British Muslim OB/GYN who has seen Muslim patients with bruises says she believes that domestic violence is more common in Muslim households because Muslim men fell they have "a God-given right" to beat their wives. • More »

This essay about Katharine Hepburn really...

Sadie Stein — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:30:00 EDT

This essay about Katharine Hepburn really makes you want a) to be her b)have known her and c) watch all her movies, immediately. The author, Sarah Standing, had the luxury of living with Hepburn for several months, in all her whiskey-drinking, trouser-wearing, wood-chopping, frigid-ocean-swimming glory. And while Kate's home truths — "You can't sail a leaky boat. You either keep rowing or you sink. Swim to safety before it's too late," — are sage indeed, it seems a little unfair to compare Hepburn's "real star" quality to what passes for celebrity today, as Standing does. After all, it's not like there was really anyone as awesome in her own day either. The upside? At least high-waisted trousers are readily available now - "because it's impossible to explore properly in a dress," as Hepburn herself said. [Telegraph] More »

The New Prada Movie Stars Very Shady Characters

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 18:00:00 EDT

Back in February, Prada debuted Trembled Blossoms, an animated film that used creepy psychedelic imagery to push purses on hopelessly hypnotized fashionistas. Get ready to trip again: Prada has a new movie, Fallen Shadows, which features music by Antony & The Johnsons and makes little sense. Thank goodness we're here to do a (sorta) frame-by frame dissection. A breakdown of the stills from the film begins after the jump. More »

Always-adorable Abigail Breslin has given a video interview to Premiere to promote her new movie, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. Apparently the preteen actress had her pick of the movie's wardrobe department but what did she choose to take home? The overalls. Young Hollywood: Keeping it real. [Premiere] More »

Sex And The Scalper

Maria — Wed, 21 May 2008 10:20:00 EDT

Are you desperate to get into the Sex and the City: The Movie premiere in NYC on May 27? Yeah, neither are we, but apparently there are some people willing to drop thousands on a chance to see a not-so-great movie about pretty ladies living economically-unfeasable lifestyles. Thanks to Craigslist, scalpers can now reach a larger audience of women who worship the Manolo'd feet of these four women (as well as a few guys looking to buy tickets for their "girlfriends") and the scalpers are charging astronomical prices. Of course, for an audience that views spending $400+ on strappy sandals as "realistic," bidding four figures for a chance to be ignored by Sarah Jessica Parker at a movie premiere probably seems like money well spent.
