Jennifer Aniston Likes John Mayer's Head Brain

The Women Premiere: The Red Carpet May Be Better Than The Movie

For those of us who love George Cukor's original campfest, the remake of The Women is such a total travesty that it goes against the grain to admit that anything about it is less than awful. And yet, honesty compels me to admit that the cast assembled last night — Meg Ryan, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debi Mazar, Eva Mendes et al — looked pretty darn good. It wasn't all roses; the director, for her sins, looked pretty meh, and Tara Reid was there. But you know what? This farce has so little to do with the original, I won't even pay it the compliment of calling it a remake. To keep our sanity, let's just think of this as another crappy ensemble comedy with a surprisingly good red carpet. The Good, the Bad, the Women — after the jump! More »

Angelina Jolie In Negotiations To Replace Tom Cruise In Spy Flick

• Screenwriter Kurt Wimmer is rewriting the script of a spy thriller called Edwin A. Salt: It was supposed to star Tom Cruise and now Angelina Jolie is replacing him. Oh, and Angie will also star in an adaptation of the Ayn Rand novel Atlas Shrugged. Next, Angelina will adopt Suri. Unstoppable. [Hollywood Reporter]

• Um, this report says Carl is back in New York. [Page Six]
• Jake Gyllenhaal is "all bulked up and 'bear' chested for his role in the fantasy flick Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time." No, really, He looks like Conan. [E!]
• Director Malcolm Lee heard about the deaths of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes and was in shock: They're both in his film Soul Men, which opens November 14. "It had to be some sort of bad dream that these two giants would die on the same weekend, and both would be in my movie." Lee says that Mac would entertain the crew and bystanders between takes. "He said, 'These people made me what I am,' " Lee says. "He said that if it weren't for the fans of his stand-up comedy, he wouldn't have the career he had." Samuel L. Jackson is also in the film.

NBC All Stars: Kinda Bush-League

I think you know, and I know, that NBC was seriously lagging behind the pack in throwing its obligatory All-Star party. Luckily for everyone, Monday night it got with the program in Beverly Hills. It does seem like "All-Star" kinda just translated to "the entire cast of Friday Night Lights" but since that show is amazing, and the fictional Texans were all kinda bringing it, I'm not complaining. Otherwise, though? Rather meh. Highs and lows, plus Debra Messing, Hayden Panettiere, Ali Larter, Bar Rafaeli and more, after the jump. More »

Ultimate Chick Flick The Women Is Finally About To See The Silver Screen

Here's the trailer for The Women, the Diane English remake of the 1939 George Cukor film based on the play by Clare Booth Luce. According to Nikki Finke, the movie — which features an all-female cast (Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Bette Midler, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Debi Mazur, Joanna Gleason, Carrie Fisher, Lynn Whitfield and Cloris Leachman) and is directed and produced by a woman as well — had a dicey future, despite the fact that Sex and the City proved that women actually, you know, go to see movies. It took 15 years to get The Women made, and male studio execs, whom Finke refers to as the "he-man woman-haters club" were about to shut the movie down, but had a change of heart and the film will now be released this September.

Female SAG Nominees: Douchebag Rock Geniuses, Dead Mothers & Former Crackheads

When the Golden Globe noms were announced last week, we broke down the female honorees along the old Shirley MacLaine adage about good parts for actresses falling into either hooker, victim or doormat categories. Today, the Screen Actors Guild announced the nominees for its awards and, although there's nary a hooker to be found, there are a couple of doormats and victims to fill the void! After the jump, we assess the candidates* (the ones who weren't also nominated for Golden Globes, that is). More »

The Continued, Downward Slide Of 'The Starter Wife'

Okay it's official: The Starter Wife sucks. But because we embarked this particular television-miniseries train when it started, we're loathe to just jump off. After the jump, some basic (and we mean basic) facts and observations about the latest adventures of Molly Kagan and her spoiled-silly friends... for those who were actually smart enough to skip last night's episode.

'The Starter Wife': Sadly, We're Still Hooked

After last week's riveting two-hour premiere of The Starter Wife, we were worried that this week's installment — a scrawny 60 minutes long — would let us down. But lo and behold, the characters became more absurd, and acted out in exponentially more ridiculous ways as their strange, shallow little lives came crashing down all around them. So, to continue with our series of recaps, we're here to give you a rundown on everything that happened to our new favorite characters last night — from fantasy sequences shot in black and white to the case of the mysterious bloody band-aid — after the jump.

The Unexpected Intrigue (And Totally Expected Banality) Of 'The Starter Wife'

Unless you've been living in a cave, there has been no safe place from the unrelenting promos for USA Network miniseries The Starter Wife (brought to you by Ponds! In case you haven't heard!). And, just as we read the tabs so you don't have to, we watched all two hours of last night's premiere installment of this highly confused concoction. Here's our take: Despite the utter banality of the show (and its tie-in website, which has message boards structured for real divorcees to share their stories), there's something weirdly appealing about The Starter Wife's characters, whose problems are repressed with help from so much booze and sex that we feel like teetotaling virgins in comparison. Anyway, after the jump, our helpful recap and character summary for those who didn't tune in. More »
