Because we are women and therefore simple creatures who are easily enticed by a movie with a cast of all women, the Jezebel staff had been hotly anticipating Ocean’s 8 for awhile. For months, we would walk past promotional posters (“Every Con Has Its Pros,” they read) and would think, Good tagline! We’d then proceed…
When Sandra Bullock’s character, Debbie Ocean, gets out of prison in the new Ocean’s 8 movie, her hair looks great. Granted, once released on parole and out in the real world, Debbie (sister to Danny, of the eponymous Ocean’s Eleven) wears her hair pin-straight—but when she’s pleading with parole officers for a chance…
Cate Blanchett has appeared in a number of films on which Harvey Weinstein served as producer, including The Aviator, The Shipping News, and Carol. In a new interview with Variety, Blanchett stated that he sexually harassed her on set.
Here she is. The Ocean’s 8 trailer. Everyone at Jezebel passionately loves at least one woman in this cast. A love like that is scary, because you might be disappointed by your love’s promotional materials. Don’t be afraid—this trailer lives up to its expectations.
Just DAYS after everyone’s favorite former couple Jenny Slate and Chris Evans were sighted out and about in Atlanta not “making out or anything” but clearly enjoying themselves, the actors exchanged flirty Twitter mentions.
Elizabeth II, queen of the United Kingdom, has honored Cate Blanchett, queen of the dramatic arts.
Val Kilmer, the actor/visual artist for whom Michael Douglas does not speak, spent the weekend proving he loves and idolizes actress Cate Blanchett more than I do (which I honestly didn’t think was possible). From Friday afternoon to Sunday night, Kilmer sent 10 tweets (including one retweet) about Blanchett,…
Have you ever wondered what Carol, the 2015 masterpiece directed by Todd Haynes, written by Phyllis Nagy, and starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, would be like if all the scenes in which women can be seen or heard were removed entirely?
Several minutes ago, a friend sent me a link to the video above along with the question, “HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BOBBY?” I had not seen it, nor did I know what it was before clicking. The video’s title, “Cate’s performance at The Stonewall 2/20/17,” didn’t help either. Cate who? At The Stonewall Inn? Is she a drag queen?…
Look at this extremely chill assortment of fashionable L Train riders, or is that the 6? Oh yes, it’s the 6, the Soho-to-Uptown segment is much nattier than 8th Avenue to Brooklyn, plus the L has never been this empty in its life.
Cate Blanchett has apparently reached that stage in her career where an ordinary performance experience will not satisfy her. She needs something more akin to an obstacle acting course.
One of the most satisfying and good-natured activities to do during the holiday season (unless you’re Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually) is going from door to door in your neighborhood for a night of caroling. Though it may not sound like there’s much involved in the process, we at Jezebel recommend you follow our guide…
When the all-female reboot of the Ocean’s franchise was announced earlier this year, I had high hopes. There could be a strong, powerful woman as Danny Ocean’s sister who recruits only women! A female screenwriter! A female director! Feminine idioms and phrases (i.e. “lady luck,” “a mother of a con”) whenever…
We have covered Ocean’s 8 (previously known as Ocean’s Ocho) pretty aggressively here at Jezebel, and who could blame us! The cast of the all-woman reboot, is led by Oscar winners Sandra Bullock (she’s rumored to play Danny Ocean’s sister) and Cate Blanchett, while Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson,…
Since releasing The New World 11 years ago, reclusive director Terrence Malick has made three over stylized movies about middle aged white men working through some major personal shit. I only saw one of them (The Tree of Life), but hated it so much (all but the scenes with my close personal friend Jessica Chastain)…
The folks at Flavorwire called it “a raw, merciless portrait of human hunger.” The Daily Mail called it “cringey.” But I call it foreshadowing. If I’d been a Sydney resident in the mid 90s and seen Cate Blanchett appear on my TV screen asking a 3,000-year-old Australian genie for a magical carton of Tim Tams, I’d have…
Do you remember that scene in Love, Actually when Emma Thompson has a controlled breakdown in her bedroom after discovering that her husband (played by the late Alan Rickman) is cheating on her? She paces back and forth in front of her marriage bed, hyperventilating, unsure of what to do with herself or her heart—much…
On last year’s cover of Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue—that annual Annie Leibovitz photo in which the country’s hottest actors use each other as sexy, well-dressed furniture—20 percent of those photographed were people of color, 100 percent were under 50, 60 percent were men, and 33 percent of the men were Miles Teller…
Carol, Todd Haynes’s film about how an unexpected (and unaccepted) love drastically changes the lives of two women in the 1950s, is slowly expanding to more and more theaters across the US. That means more national advertising. But, in a Friday report by Page Six, it was revealed that one particular spot for the film…
In an interview with the Evening Standard, Nicole Kidman said that she doesn’t regret her marriage to Scientologist Tom Cruise. “I was a baby when I married Tom, but I don’t regret any of it,” Kidman told the newspaper. “But out of respect for Keith, I tend not to discuss any of that now …” she added. For a profile…
