Ever since Juno was a hit, the movie industry’s been scrambling to find the next big quirky girl-centric indie success and I think Damsels in Distress might just be it. More »
Happy birthday, Woody Allen! You turn 76 today, and that is certainly something to celebrate. As much as Woody has done for cinema, he has maybe accomplished more in the realm of making it sexy to be a disheveled nebbish. Many of today’s celebs have co-opted “Woody Allen chic” and proudly wear their glasses, tweed and sweaters. More »
Good morning! It’s you’re stomach’s favorite day of the year! (And your intestine’s least favorite.) Since today is all about eating (and, like family and thankfulness and all that stuff, I guess), what better way to kick things off that with a gallery of hot celebrity dudes with food in their mouths? No better way, we say. Happy chewing. More »
We’re super into this five-o’clock-two-days-later scruffy look Adam Brody rocked to an audition last week. The part Adam’s gunning for is in a flick called The Gangster Squad, about the LA police department in the 1940s and 50s. It’s rumored to star Ryan Gosling and Sean Penn. We hope Adam gets the part and we hope if calls for facial hair. More »
We had to stare at this EW cover for whole moments to figure out who was on it. It’s Henry Cavill, of course, the new English Superman, but four or five other actors came to mind before we noticed that big “S.” We guess having such an everyman face (okay, the most attractive everyman in the galaxy) bodes well for that whole putting on a pair of glasses and secretly turning into Clark Kent thing. Take a look at Henry’s lookalikes and let us know if we forgot anyone. More »
There’s just something about those ugly Christmas sweaters — when Uncle John wears them it’s a cringe-worthy display of misplaced holiday cheer, but when celebs do it it’s totally hilarious. The cast of Glee made a splash with an Xmas-sweater-themed greeting card earlier this year, and folks like John Mayer and Snoop Dogg have been keeping themselves warm and festive ever since. We might have to pull out our Rudolph cardigan after all.

Since the heady days when Paris Hilton was at the apex of her “career,” celebrity weeklies on the hunt for the biggest, most salacious scoops, began recruiting pretty, social climb-y young women to get them. How? By enlisting them as nightlife “freelance” reporters who hit the nightclubs, befriend celebs like Lance Bass for dirt on Justin Timberlake, and observe-and-report, ie, “So-and-so went to the bathroom X number of times. What’s up with that?”
These women get the goods – wind up… More »
Confession time: I’ve always longed to be a skater girl. I wish I knew how to skateboard, and do amazing tricks that defy gravity and wow large crowds of onlookers. I want to plant my foot on the back of a board and have it fly up into my hand as I remove my helmet and shake out my long, perfect hair. None of that’s ever going to happen, so I watch crappy skateboarding and rollerblading movies instead.
Here are some… More »
Now that Doctor Who’s Matt Smith is maybe-dating model Daisy Lowe, his ex reportedly wants him back. Yeah, he looks like Wallace from Wallace And Gromit, but never underestimate the power of a hot dweeb (Jeff Goldblum? Adam Brody in 2003? J.J. Abrams, anyone?).
So, if reports are to be believed, Matt is balancing two women: new flame Daisy Lowe and past girlfriend, Brazilian hottie Mayana Moura. Matt’s rep won’t comment on his personal life, but that’s not keeping the growing… More »
Finally playing something different than Seth Cohen? — Adam Brody was spotted on the set of The Oranges with Leighton Meester, and he’s on a scooter. And looking like an older Seth Cohen. Spread your wings at bit, Adam! (via PopSugar)
We were psyched about The Romantics, since the cast is chock full of people we love: Josh Duhamel, Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin, Dianna Agron, Malin Akerman. (Adam Brody’s in it too, though you wouldn’t know from the trailer since he’s barely in it). But then we watched the trailer, and we’re left feeling lukewarm about the whole thing.
Early reports described the movie as a story of childhood friends coming together for a wedding, so we envisioned it as a happier,… More »
