Emma Roberts’ Barbie Pictures Are Really Freaky
Barbies don’t always inspire kids to play nicely. We all knew someone growing up who liked to decapitate their strangely proportioned toys or chuck Skipper and Kelly off the Barbie dream house roof. Emma Robert’s new Barbie photo shoot, however, makes a couple headless dolls look positively charming. More »
Video: Emma Roberts And Joe Manganiello Star In The Girl With The Tramp Stamp

Celebrity Photographer Tyler Shields Wrote A Novel Called Smartest Man
Celebrity photographer Tyler Shields has been working on his coffee table book The Dirty Side of Glamour – comprised of his daring, often exploitative photos of hot young actors — for years. “I’ve been working so long on it that it feels like it may never end,” he told Celeb Dirty Laundry in September. So it’s surprising that Dirty Side is not the book project he announced on his website yesterday. More »
Gallery: These 8 Actresses Aren’t Old Enough to Play Their Co-Stars’ Mothers, But They Do Anyway!
We’ve uncovered a weird phenomenon in movies and TV: You cast two actors to play a parent and child, and yet they’re only a few years apart! Jack from Will & Grace (via TV Tropes) sums it up best: “This is just like The OC, except without twenty-five-year-old teenagers and thirty-five-year-old parents.” More »
Confirmed: The CW Will Make a TV Show Out of Sex and the City Prequel The Carrie Diaries
What a nice treat for Fashion Week: The CW has bought the rights to produce The Carrie Diaries, Candace Bushnell‘s YA prequel to Sex and the City. And the people helming the adaptation will be none other than Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, executive producers for Gossip Girl. So it’ll be tamer than HBO, but still probably have enough sexytimes to rile up the Parents Television Council. More »
Hot Shot: Justin Timberlake Plays a Secret Show
My initial reaction upon spotting this photo set of Justin Timberlake clutching a guitar for a surprise performance was, “Oh, that actor Timberlake is trying to do music now?” So that’s the brain I’m working with her, but also probably not an unfair assessment of JT’s career in its current state.

Recent Indie Movies Like ‘Terri’ and ‘Submarine’ Treat Teen Sex Realistically
When I was a junior in high school, I contemplated having sex with my boyfriend. Not because I was in love with him, but because I was 17, and 17 was the age in all the high-school movies that girls seemed to be sexually active. Thankfully, I didn’t follow through with it because I realized that movies did not equal real life and that I’d rather wait.
I thought of that adolescent whim, and the movies that inspired, while looking at recent movies that have portrayed teen sexuality a lot more realistically. What they all have in common is that they’re independent projects, so they don’t need to cram their trailers with nubile teenage girls to sell tickets. More »
Interview: Freddie Highmore on High School and First Love in ‘The Art of Getting By’
We’ve watched Freddie Highmore grow up since his tear-inducing turn as a sickly child in Finding Neverland and as a musical prodigy in August Rush. Now the 19-year-old soccer enthusiast is a student at Cambridge University, and (back in 2010) spent five weeks in New York City filming The Art of Getting By. In the film, he plays George, a fatalistic young artist who refuses to do his homework and masks his familial insecurities with witty comebacks. This all changes when George meets the bright, sexy Sally (Emma Roberts), who leads him into the popular crowd and encourages him to explore his art. More »
Crushable Quotable: Julia Roberts’ Niece Says She Hasn’t Benefited from Nepotism
Julia Roberts‘ niece and Eric Roberts‘ daughter Emma Roberts, is starring in the new film The Art of Getting By. At the tender of age of 20, Emma is already being hailed as one to watch in Young Hollywood. But she insists that her famous last name and even more famous relatives aren’t the reason she’s now famous. More »
Emma Roberts Manages to Play a Better Version of Her Past Roles in ‘The Art of Getting By’
Hollywood typecasting makes it easier to audiences to figure out what a movie’s about without knowing anything about its plot — thanks to actors who play the same roles over and over again, trying to recapture lightning in a bottle. With each role, they run these characters into the ground until they’re the most bare-bones stereotypes.
It becomes shorthand: Sarah Jessica Parker is a highstrung, Type A businesswoman. Sandra Bullock is tough-as-nails and uses a breezy attitude to hide her secret insecurities. Penelope Cruz played the same role in both the Spanish and American Vanilla Sky movies, with the second an awful remake of what had been a fantastic performance the first time around.
Emma Roberts‘ good-girl muse Sally in The Art of Getting By could have been just a worse rehashing of her radiant character in Twelve, but the combination of director Gavin Wiesen‘s script and Roberts’ own know-how elevates Sally to a better version of what we’ve seen before. More »
Interview: ‘The Art of Getting By’ Writer-Director Gavin Wiesen on Making an Anti-Clique Movie
It’s clear that Gavin Wiesen based The Art of Getting By off his own adolescence: He attended private school in New York City and bears a striking resemblance to the movie’s star, Freddie Highmore. (Or technically, Highmore looks a lot like his director.) Originally titled Homework, the movie follows reclusive smartass George (Highmore), who gets away with doing no homework during his senior year, and Emma Roberts as Sally, a popular girl who brings him into her world of parties and fun.

5 Facts About ‘The Art of Getting By’ Actress Sasha Spielberg
During the screening of The Art of Getting By, I kept wondering who was the brunette who played Emma Roberts‘ best friend Zoe, a pretty, popular girl with money and charm to spare. It wasn’t until the credits rolled that I got her name: Sasha Spielberg. Though there isn’t a ton of information on Sasha due to her being an atypical Hollywood kid and not getting drunk/in catfights, we were able to glean a few tidbits. More »
15 Celebrities With Unexpected Hidden Talents
I don’t know about you guys, but I have two weird talents in my arsenal of bar tricks, and only two: 1) I can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue (it’s really not that hard, I promise); and 2) I can play five-finger fillet without losing any fingers. I’m pretty proud of those two tricks, especially since they’re not things I actively tried to learn. That’s right: They’re just things I know how to do. Don’t ask me why, because I honestly don’t know. But hey, guess what? Loads of celebrities have even weirder and more unexpected talents hidden beneath their bright, shiny exteriors! Which celebrities, you ask? And what talents? Read on to find out. Some of them are truly surprising! More »

Watch The New Cults’ Music Video Starring Dave Franco And Emma Roberts
Yes, that Dave Franco — as in James‘ little bro. The video’s some sort of French New Wave fantasy in which Davey’s dream girl jumps out of the screen while he’s watching Godard‘s Contempt. So that means Emma Roberts is Brigitte Bardot? Hmm, we’re a little skeptical of that part. More »
Gallery: Celebs Looking Pissed Off At Fashion Shows
The best thing about Fashion Week is how important and serious it is. To look at the famous faces lining the front row, you’d think you’d stumbled into a telethon to raise money after a national tragedy instead of an event dedicated to looking at clothing. It’s all furrowed brows and frowny faces! Take a look through our gallery of celebs looking angry at fashion shows — and make sure you take notes. More »
