RIP Tony Curtis

More from the set of DRIVE

Well Cool Rider is away for a few days, so i have to make the most of it! It's only a 6 week shoot, and i'm sure there won't be photos everyday!!! He is wearing those jeans well!

NOWHERE IS SAFE

So goes the tagline for the new Harry Potter posters.

I'm tipping this movie is going to be emotionally exhausting - we have spent more than a decade getting to know and love these characters - a decade becoming emotionally invested in their fates and I for one will probably bawl like a baby from the opening credits.

Considering I cried through most of the book I can't see the movie being any different.  Hurry up Deathly Hallows - I can't wait.

Ryan....

I was just commenting to Cool Rider this morning, that ryan started production on his new film DRIVE today, so there would hopefully be some photos soon, and lo and behold, here they are. So exciting, and this film has the coolest cast and a great Danish director, so things are looking good!



cute butt

just really cute!

Thank God For Heather Morris

I've just watched the much awaited episode of GLEE - Britnay/Britney and I must say I was rather let down.   The singing and dancing was great as usual but it seemed to me that the episode was rather forced which makes sense as most of these covers existed solely because there actually was a Facebook campaign for a Britney Spears episode.   Maybe fans shouldn't try to write television.  Leave it to the experts.

The absolute highlight was Heather Morris as the hilarious Britnay S. Peers.  Every line out of her mouth was funnier than the next and her dancing is insane.  Watch this episode if only to watch Heather dance.

Who's Dating Rachel??

The delightful Rachel Bilson has been the subject of various dating rumours lately since breaking off her engagement to Anakin Skywalker.  She was linked to the equally lovely Chace Crawford and most recently the less than delightful Perez Hilton shared the news that she and Jake Gyllenhaal were an item.  As much as I'd love to believe either of these couplings, I went on a hunt to discover if either of these rumours were true.  Where do you go when you want to know the truth - Gossip Cop!

It's a big no to both, with reps on all sides having a bit of a laugh over the rumour mill.

Oh well - we'll have to wait and see just who the lucky guy is that snaps her up...  my money is on this guy...

Daniel McPherson

I was intending to add Dan to the list of celebs who had grown facial hair but I ended up getting a little distracted - see if you can tell why!!

Bet you'll be tuning in to City Homicide now!!!

Who Does Beard Best???

Zac has been receiving mixed reactions to his facial hair but he is not the only one to cover up recently - who do you rate as the best and worst beard?

Russell Brand

Daniel Radcliffe

Spencer Pratt

Ewan McGregor

Brad pitt

Zac Efron

Pierce Brosnan

Joaquin Phoenix

Bruce Willis

Justin Timberlake

Ashton Kutcher

Jared Leto

George Clooney

Robert Pattinson

Keanu Reeves

Jake Gyllenhaal

Was this rigged? Your thoughts please....

The final of Australia's Next Top model tonight, where the host Sarah Murdoch announced the wrong winner. Either mighty embarassing or good publicity stunt!!! Kelsey walked away with $25,000 and a trip to NY for her trouble!

And look who else is in Oz....

@S_Knight05: The view of the sydney opera house and harbor is absolutely breathtaking. everyone should come here at some point in their lives

Oh Zack

Spotted today at the Tim Burton exhibition in Melbourne was Todd Lowe. He's here on True Blood business, but to us he'll always be Zack Van Gerbig, the love of Lane's life!!!

Do you know what's hot?

Well yes, Tom Hardy is hot, but the fact that he has taken time to give a homeless guy some coin, is really a big turn on.

He's in Vancouver, about to start shooting with Reese...... Nice one Tom!

TWITTER UPDATE - Baby Beek!

vanderjames Had the blessing of becoming a father over the weekend... Couldn't come close to describing this bliss even if I had 140 million characters. 
 
vanderjames Olivia Van Der Beek, born 9/25. I apologize in advance for any obnoxiously precious new-dad tweets that may follow. I'm under her spell...

Congratulations James (and Kimberley of course) from all your fans here at Stars Hollow.

Katy Perry

I know there is at least one of you out there who will appreciate a Katy Perry post. 
It looks like Katy has decided that fantasy is definitely for her with two forays into the world of make believe characters.
Unfortunately Katy's appearance on Sesame Street was not loved by all with parents complaining about the skimpy nature of her outfit causing it to be pulled from the show.



Never fear Katy has been allowed to visit  Springfield and will be hanging out with the Simpson's in a Christmas Special. Katy will appear as herself, and as the girlfriend of the bartender Moe, in a live-action segment that will feature puppet versions of the show’s characters.

Will It Won't It?

Looks like the fate of the TV show - SPARTACUS is very much up in the air.
Steven DeKnight, the exec producer had this to say - “The two main options are to close up shop or recast, I want to talk to Andy and find out how he feels about the options. That’s obviously very important to us.  We’re still absorbing what’s happened. I think it’s going to be a little while before we reach any conclusions.” (Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, a prequel to the series, will still air as scheduled in January 2011.)

GLEE Sneak Peak

I think I can safely say we have all missed GLEE and are eagerly awaiting its return to our screens.  To get you in the mood here is a clip that GLEE have released with the fabulous (and usually drunk) John Stamos in the Britnay/Britney episode.

sweet and sour

Exciting news that 'The Takeaways' album is going to get a re-release. For all you fans of the ace 1984 ABC tv series SWEET AND SOUR about the band The Takeaways starring David Reyne this no doubt will excite the harem pants off you!!!!



Available in stores this week!

A Hogwarts Engagement?

Ginny Weasley is engaged to Gellert Grindelwald! Who knows?  The rumour has been around since May this year but is still to be confirmed although where there is smoke.... as the saying goes.

Bonnie Wright (Ginny) and Jamie Campbell Bower (Gellert, also Caius from Twilight) met on the set of the latest Harry Potter installment and have been dating ever since. 

They are 19 and 21 years respectively so hopefully this is just a rumour that has gained momentum.
For those of you who aren't as up on your Harry saga as you should be - Gellert Grindelwald (c. 1883-1998) was considered the most dangerous Dark Wizard of all time, after Tom Riddle of course.

I know there shouldn't be loinage when watching Sesame St but........

A Warning

Some advice to the girl seen lunching and strolling with Ryan Gosling - WATCH YOUR BACK!!!

Miss K is not happy!!

Fun Coupling

I'm, sure you know of my girl crush for Kristen Bell - It turns out that not only is she a massive fan of GLEE, as she should be, but she actually dated Matthew Morrison! How cool!
“I actually went to college with Matty Morrison,” Kristen told Us Weekly at the premiere of You Again.
“We actually dated very briefly, so I’ll have to say maybe Matt Morrison is my favorite part of Glee for various reasons.”

New Movie For Alexis Bledel

Alexis has signed on to star opposite Saoirse Roman in the film Violet & Daisy about two teenage hitgirls.

'The film centers around the young assassins who are lured into what is supposed to be just another quick, easy job. They soon run into complications as the man they’re supposed to kill (James Gandolfini) is not what they expected.'

This movie sounds promising as it is being directed by screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher, who won an Oscar earlier this year for his work on Precious.

What About Bill?

I've just heard something that makes me very happy - Keanu Reeves says that he’d love to reprise the role of Ted that he played in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. 
How fabulous!  A 46 year old Ted, I wonder what that would be like?  Hilarious or just sad?

Apparently the original scriptwriters were interested in giving another script a go. According to Keanu ...“We’ll see what they do. If it’s a film that can stand up on its own … and I’m meeting people now, they’ve shown the film to their kids,” he said. “We just seek to entertain, and if that could be something that could be worthwhile, on its own …”

Go for it I say!

Portia DeGeneres

How fun - Portia de Rossi is now Portia Lee James DeGeneres! She was granted a legal name change in a Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday and has taken the name of her wife, Ellen DeGeneres.
I wonder where Mandy Rogers disappeared to.

Adam Brody

While we're waiting for The Romantics to hit our shores we can enjoy the lovely Adam Brody as he does the PR rounds.

Somewhere......

I was lucky enough to catch a screening of the new Sofia Coppola film, SOMEWHERE, yesterday. We talked about it a little while ago and posted the trailer here. Have a look for a reminder.


It's a quiet film about a hard living actor, played perfectly by Stephen Dorff, who is shacked up in the Chateau marmont. I get the feeling, this story may not be too far from the real Dorff story. Elle Fanning, little sister of Dakota, plays his daughter and is brilliant for this role, very real and not overacted or forced at all. The way Coppola films, at times makes this film uncomfortable to watch, long takes without edit, but it seems there is a purpose and we can feel what Dorff is feeling. It's kind of a heartbreaking film but without the emotion (if this makes any sense). Do we pity this character or feel sorry for him? No, we don't, but there is such a realness, that we feel what he is feeling.

This film won Venice, which is a big call. It's not 'Lost in Translation', and it won't be for everyone, but if you are a little bit fascinated by life as a Hollywood star living in LA, then this is a great insight.

No release date in Australia as yet. will let you know when i do.

CAN NOT WAIT - New Deathly Hollows Trailer

Twice The Lois

Smallville just gets better and better.  They have just announced that Teri Hatcher has signed on to play Lois Lane's mother!

Teri got her big break as the character of Lois on the 1990's hit Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman so it is an inspired piece of casting.  Good on her for doing it.

Yes, I know, Smallville fans: Lois' mom, Ella is dead. But I can report that the episode will center around Lois discovering old videotapes of her mother and... well, from there, you'll need to tune in and find out what happens.
