Katy and Russell= kaput

I am a bit sad about this one. I kind of always thought it was doomed, but somehow there was a little bit of hope as they both seemed just the wrong side of crazy and maybe, just maybe, they could make it happen. 14 months was all it took to not work though! I think Russell might be funnier without a wife, we shall see!

And a happy New Year to all from the Hollow

New Year's Eve advice

We have some special NYE advice from the one and only Zac Efron.........it's about dancing!

Did you know?

Christian Slater was offered the role in INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE after River Phoenix died, so he accepted the role but donated his fee to River's favourite charities. Who knew?

(just watching ITAS with Christian Slater)

They both also dated Samantha Mathis!

Best film of 2011

I am someone who can never pick just one film that is the best. There are categories, actors, circumstances to consider. Let me just say that it certainly wasn't the film I just finished watching on pay tv......please don't judge...it's late.....the remote was at the other end of the sofa.....it was called COUGARS, INC. Seriously! And I watched it all!!! And Denise Richards was in it. Anyway, let's pretend I never told you any of the above information and get on with what you need to be viewing on DVD in the coming months.

- Film that most me made want to drive straight from the cinema to the airport.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

- Best gratuitous Ryan shots (and a rom com with heart)

CRAZY STUPID LOVE

- Coolest film of 2011 ( and best soundtrack)

So there you have it. My 'bests' of 2011. (will let you know if i think of any others)

The Paperboy

So what is not to love about this poster. It looks amazing. Trust me, this film will be hot property with a poster this cool and an equally cool cast.

I've been a little worried about the 'Nic' factor, but looks like she might just be ok in this alongside the divine Zac, Matthew McConaghy and John Cusack. Directed by Lee Daniels of 'Precious' fame. It is hitting the top of my 'must see' list with a bullet!

Here is the official synopsis: A directionless young man, (Efron) helps his reporter brother (McConaughey) investigate the possible wrongful conviction of a man (Cusack) sitting on death row for the murder of a local sheriff. Efron’s character, Jack James falls for the movie’s femme fatale (Kidman) who apparently harbors special feelings towards the man behind bars that they’re trying to help.

Farewell to Christmas for another year...

Magic Mike

Oh the joys!! We have spoken of Magic Mike way back in May ( a reminder here) It's loosely based on the story of Channing Tatum, remember his demonstration with Ellen last year? Well, as trashy as i think this could be, I know that i am going to love it. here's the first pic released from the studio...Joe, alex, Matthew, Chan.......seriously fun, right?

More to come.....tv

And the TIME magazine coolest person of the year goes to........

Our Coolest Person Committee was determined to pick someone whose cool was tested and pervasive, obvious even to the dorks who work at this magazine. We defined cool in the classic Marlon Brando way an unshakable calm mixed with a confidence that comes from not needing others. Cool is more how than what; we considered world leaders, singers, hackers and a newsmagazine columnist who one of us thought was an obvious pick.
Our first choice was the members of SEAL Team 6, who seem insanely badass. But they are also very secretive, and there is the slim chance that one of the 24 who raided Osama bin Laden's mansion does something totally uncool like that Borat high-five thing. We also rejected Melissa McCarthy (too energetic), Julian Assange (too 2010) and Zach Galifianakis (too beardy).
So the 2011 Coolest Person of the Year is a man who is tough but emotional. A movie star who broke up a fight on the streets of Manhattan and was also caught walking down a Manhattan street playing a Strumstick, which is like a ukulele only ukulelier. An Oscar nominee who also smokes, tags graffiti and has a predilection for posing with a fist to the camera but makes dioramas and takes public ballet classes alongside little girls too. He's the only actor since Andy Kaufman to work as a waiter after making it in show business. One who has a rock band that spent a month accompanying a children's marionette show in Los Angeles. He is a man who caused a protest outside our very own Time & Life Building when People magazine chose Bradley Cooper instead of him as the Sexiest Man Alive. I doubt Cooper is cool enough that his fans would object to his loss of Coolest Person of the Year by protesting in front of our building and blocking foot traffic with an annoying publicity swarm (Sixth Avenue and 50th Street, northwest corner most visible).
Ryan Gosling, the 2011 Coolest Person of the Year, is so cool that he refused to talk to me about this honor. Faced with this problem, other magazine franchises might back down and pick someone willing to play ball and be their publicity monkey, but the Coolest Person Committee is committed to the truth. Also, it was getting really close to deadline, so it just seemed a lot easier to stick with Gosling.
Yes, he was a Mouseketeer alongside Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. And yes, he puts on a weird Brooklyn accent even though he's from Canada. Yes, he was homeschooled and sometimes hangs out with magicians. But he's so cool, he wears all of that proudly. Even more impressive, he found time to be cool while having to constantly explain to people that, no, the guy they're thinking of is Ryan Reynolds. Gosling was in four movies this year, yet he didn't seem overexposed because he was always so different. In Blue Valentine he was desperate, in Drive he was scary, in The Ides of March he was slimy, and in Crazy, Stupid, Love he was six-packy. (The committee saw just the trailers.)
"There is not a genre he is not comfortable in," says Coolest Person Committee member Henry Winkler. "Cool is being comfortable in your own skin. Everything stems from that." Coolest Person of the Year Emeritus James Franco says, "Ryan is the true king of cool. You got it right this year." Let's hope that Gosling doesn't wind up hosting the Oscars.
We have no idea how Gosling will deal with this honor. A tattoo seems like the obvious way to go, though a commemorative diorama would probably be good enough for a spot on Access Hollywood. But that's not why we pick a Coolest Person of the Year. We do it for the journalism. And because after 15 years of service to this magazine, I'm still not allowed in the Person of the Year meetings. I think it's because they don't like my suggestions. Though, honestly, yet again, I really did have an amazing year.

Just saying....

Disney star and former "Hellcats" actress Ashley Tisdale has split with her boyfriend of two years, Scott Speer.

Do not be shocked an surprised if you start seeing a little more of this in the future........



Or this....

Excited for some Golden Globe noms.....

It's that time of year when award nominations are announced and frocks start to get planned. Most exciting. When I wake up, the GG nominations will be out. it's one of my faves, with stars that drink too much and hosts that crack naughty jokes. Yay!!!

So wrong, but so good!!

ROCK OF AGES, with its cast of thousands, its dirty 80's rock music and Tom Cruise at his cheesiest........I think we might just love it!!!!

New posters today for 2012 superheroes

Cover or original???

MRS ROBINSON

Simon and Garfunkel vs The Lemonheads

Molly

So many Molly's have come and gone, Molly Ringwald, Molly from A Country Practice and of course Molly Meldrum who I watched every Sunday night for years on Countdown. Our thoughts are with him this evening as he fights for his life after a fall from a ladder at his home. he is an Aussie icon.

Rob is writing another book.

I loved his first outing as an author and the second offering is expected to be a little juicier. (any excuse for a pic of Rob works for me)

It's been too long Jim....

'you told me you couldn't believe in someone that didn't believe in you I believed in you I always believed in you, I just didn't believe in me, I love you, always.'

Yep, watching for about the 25th time............

Oh Mr Efron You Make Our Eyes So Happy.

There is nothing better than a movie release to provide fabulous pap shots of our favourites.  Ryan Gosling has been pleasing my fellow editor for months now with his swag of movie releases but now it's my turn.  'New Year's Eve' has hit cinemas which means that Zac is out and about and making this lady very happy.

 

 These shots with his co-star Michelle Pheiffer are from the World Premiere of the movie in Los Angeles..... but wait there's more.  Let's head to New York where the view only gets better.....

 

 

 

 

 This is far from all the snaps I have stashed away in my file but I think it will do for now.
