The Toronto International Film Festival was saturated with all the glitz and glamor we’ve come to expect from A-list events: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie swooped in to promote Brad’s new flick Moneyball and George Clooney stepped out with his new girlfriend, former wrestler Stacy Kiebler. But away from the red carpet, U2 frontman Bono was using the festival’s publicity machine to raise awareness for the humanitarian crisis currently affecting Somalia. More »
She’s burning up, burning up with anger. At Madonna. For being a shitty neighbor. More »
GQ honored its Men of the Year last night at an event in London and, unsurprisingly, a ton of handsome men were in attendance — many of whom even have adorable English accents! It’s super rainy here in New York, so I think I’ll spend the rest of my day looking at this gallery and inventing lives with my fantasy boyfriends. Feel free to join me. More »
The Musee Grevin in Paris unveiled its newest homage to Hollywood this past Tuesday with wax sculptures of actor/producer Brad Pitt standing next to a likeness of George Clooney (which is apparently quite popular with the ladies according to the Grevin’s website). Pitt sports a tasteful summer ensemble, longish hair and a graying goatee.
But the Inglourious Basterds star looks barely like himself, maybe because we still don’t associated Pitt with being over 40. Or, even more likely, it was because he didn’t have time to model for the statue. That’s right! More »
“God Leighton Meester, get over yourself!” I screamed from the middle of our shared quad, “I don’t want to touch any of your dumb shit anyway!”
She screamed back. We’d been at it for weeks. More »
Was the title of last night’s Jersey Shore ironic? As the second episode of the 3rd season, “It’s Going To Be An Interesting Summer” could have been an appropriate name if anything, literally anything had happened on the episode. More »
With all our favorite couples breaking up this week, what’s a poor susceptible-to-media-influence bear to think? Also this week: we learn something new about our friends’ relationship status! Ooh! More »
I’m sorry, Natalie Portman. I know that as an actress, you’ve made a lot of great career decisions. From your early days in The Professional and Beautiful Girls to your recent critically-acclaimed Black Swan, no one is doubting your versatile acting skills. But I still do not like you. More »
In 5 days, 26-year-old Garrett Hedlund will be up on a billion screens across America, clad in a skin-type CGI suit and dropped into a weird 3D wonderland full of beauty and danger. Tron: Legacy may as well be called “This year’s Avatar” for all the hype surrounding the special effects and ginormous budget that the film boasts, yet we haven’t really heard much about the Aussie actor Sam Worthington once he shed his Pandora layers.
So while we can’t put our money yet on Garrett becoming an A-list superstar, we do know a sexy body when we see one. Go ahead and ogle girls: he may not be around this time next year More »
Hey remember when Josh Groban was on Glee and it was pretty self-referential and funny? Yeah, well “Josh Groban Table Talk,” where the singer interviews himself, isn’t like that at all. More »
Antoine Dodson, he of the Bed Intruder song (“Hide yo kids, hide yo wives!”) finally got his Double Rainbow moment when he appeared on Lopez Tonight. One question: Is Antoine actually a woman? More »
Nicolas Cage Wants Evil-Doers Everywhere to Beware – For some awesome reason, Nicolas Cage is avoiding all this talking about him owing a Nevada bank millions so he can make speeches about ending organized crime. The end of Leaving Las Vegas and the beginning of Kick-Ass! – (BBC)
Kristen Stewart Likes At Least One Thing: Lesbians – Maybe she’s just pretending to be down with her sapphic sisters because that’s what all the celebrities are doing right now, but we love that Kristen Stewart is actually in support of something these days, instead of just complaining about how hard it is to be famous with soooo many fans. (Celebuzz)
The upcoming nuptial of British rockstar/comedian/weirdo Russell Brand and Katy Perry is going to be pretty hard to miss, despite the duo claiming they want to keep it a low-key affair. And that’s just it, isn’t it? When you act as goofy as Russell around the press, they’re going to keep demanding more from their little dancing monkey-man. Maybe if the goth Willy Wonka stopped acting like he was Tom Cruise on Oprah every time the cameras started rolling, we’d pay less attention to him. Fame, she is a double-edged sword. More »
Ever since we learned that Lost‘s Josh Holloway was actually getting a shot to have a career outside a character actor who was really good at giving people nicknames, we were thrilled. Dimples here was recently cast alongside Jeremy Renner in Mission Impossible 4, as Tom Cruise searches desperately for some blond, handsome men to round out his cast and make the movie attractive to young women while still not stealing his leading-star thunder. Uh, too late dude. Have you seen these pictures of Sawyer in Prague? We never got to see his character off the island in Lost, but it turns out Josh looks great in a scarf, jacket, and jaunty pageboy cap. More »
Every week, Gail K. skewers advertising aimed at women with her quick wit, acidic tongue, and love for butter-products. This week: 5 celebrity endorsements from celebs that should go back to working instead of shilling. More »
This is why forums like Reddit really exist, people: not to expose college girls doing porn, or start threads about Peaches Geldof doing heroin, but to serve as a community for people who happen to catch celebrities at bunny farms. Could this be a new meme? Jon Stewart looking annoyed around rabbits, then Sad Keanu shows up, and then maybe Russell Brand in a crazy outfit… More »
The end of September marked my one month anniversary of writing for Crushable. It has been the time of my life! I’ve written more than I ever have in my college and high school career combined – and actually enjoyed it. I’m proud and excited that I finally found something that I love doing. But my new found confidence and comfort in my job is nothing compared to the intense pride my parents feel. I’m actually doing something that isn’t retail or Starbucks (there, I said it, I worked at Starbucks). More »
Really sad news today: Dan Gordon-Levitt, whose appearance on the celebrity scene earlier this summer spurned an entire wave of “hot celebrity siblings” trend, has passed away. His brother, Incepetion actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, wrote on his Twitter:
My super hero brother @burningdan 1974-2010. Celebrate his life here ~ http://bit.ly/dBTMQ8 because he’s fucking awesome. More »
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Early yesterday, Ricky Lake called 9-1-1 and told dispatchers her couch was on fire, and could be overheard telling her children that “Mommy had a mistake.” Actually it was her entire house that was on fire, and the phrase should have been “Mommy made a mistake.” More »
