The last two movies I’ve seen Liv Tyler in, she’s been the central female character, and a weak one at that: A former drug addict who’s been rescued by a sweet man but finds herself easily falling under the control of a controlling yet seductive jerk thanks to her docile personality. That counts for both Super and The Ledge. (And That Thing You Do! and Armageddon, now that we think about it.) Obviously there’s a formula Tyler’s got in her head. But why would she want to follow it — in both films, her character is meek and lost, hardly speaking above a murmur and terrified of the man who holds her in check.
According to Carina Chocano, this is a good thing. More »
I had a ton of fun talking with Matthew Chapman, the great-great grandson of Charles Darwin and writer-director of The Ledge. Though he’s written two books grappling with faith versus reason, this is his first feature film; the thriller sympathizes with atheist Charlie Hunnam, who steals fundamentalist Patrick Wilson‘s wife Liv Tyler. A UK native who’s lived both in Los Angeles and New York, Chapman might be considered someone who lives on the fringes of Hollywood, but he’s had enough experience to judge Tinseltown’s relationship to religion.
It’s always exciting when an interview turns into an actual intellectual discussion, as when Chapman and I talked about the labels of “atheist” versus “agnostic,” the concept of original sin, and unforgivable acts. He was also just really funny. But then again, I’m biased since I’m agnostic. More »
Two movies about love, betrayal, and faith. One setting for the most dramatic of confrontations. Between Tommy Wiseau‘s cult classic The Room and Matthew Chapman‘s new thriller The Ledge, drug dealers, atheists, cops, breast cancer victims, and pesky kids all spend time on the roof. More »
The following is a guest post from our friends at Luckymag.com.
Curled up on a couch at the Crosby Hotel, her sky-high black Louboutins tossed beside after a long day of interviews for her new film, actress Liv Tyler is every bit as NYC chic as we expected. Dressed in a Alaia cardigan, a leather skirt from The Row, and a cute top with a Peter Pan collar from somewhere she can’t remember, it’s obvious why the staff here at Lucky has been style crushing on her for years. Today though, she’s here to promote a pretty deep project: The Ledge is not only written and directed by Charles Darwin’s great-great grandson Matthew Chapman (how’s that for bona fides?), it grapples with issues of religious fundamentalism, mortality, adultery and fate. So allow us a brief pit stop before we get to the all- important matter of the day, fashion! More »
Apparently Steven Tyler steals clothing from Liv Tyler’s closet - Sort of explains this gallery, doesn’t it? (People)
Actors are known for going to extremes for movie roles – Christian Bale lost a scary amount of weight for his role in The Machinist, and Renee Zellweger famously packed on pounds for Bridget Jones’ Diary. Depending on the star, learning a new language is better than having to gain or lose a bunch of weight. More »
Photographer Theo Wenner‘s made a pretty nice life for himself. The son of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, Theo got his start as a photo intern at the magazine. He was then hire to shoot for RS and other publications like Vanity Fair and Purple. Oh, and he’s also dating the world’s most beautiful human, Liv Tyler. So what’s up with this 24-year-old’s work and general existence? Here’s what you need to know. More »
Today is Record Store Day, a holiday where all you have to do is a) go to a record store, if you can find one, and b) buy something. Though this isn’t a requirement, I strongly recommend using today as an excuse to watch Empire Records, the best movie about a record store ever. More »
Celebrities, they’re just like us: loud, boozy, perpetually posing for their friends’ photos in bars. Terry Richardson brought his camera along for a night with pals, hitting New York hot spots (club promoter Bill Hader has thought of everything!) The Breslin and the Ace Hotel. Check out his documentation of Liv, Chloe, Aziz Ansari, and the rest of them. More »
Talent often runs in the family, but in these Hollywood clans it isn’t the same kind of talent. These actresses just so happen to be the daughters of musicians – can you spot the resemblances? More »
Colin Hanks made a splash this weekend by marrying his publicist Samantha Bryant in a small ceremony that consummated the couple’s 10-month engagement. And while two celebrities getting married usually makes it to the cover of People, there are far more A-listers whose eye was caught by someone else on their set. As our wedding present to Hanks, here’s our list of stars who have married inside the industry but outside the actor’s studio. More »
We came of age in the 1990′s, as the music video was coming of age as well. In the early ’90s the genre went from experimental device to true art form. Singers enlisted the help of actors and models to tell the story beyond their songs, choreographers created synchronized dance numbers and music videos extended beyond the length of the song into mini-movies, a move made popular by Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” Although we’re almost too young to remember when these… More »
Celebrities make it their business to have their skin as gorgeous as possible at all times – no unsightly zits, pimples, or blackheads are allowed to rear their ugly heads, wrinkles are minimized as much as humanly possible, and “freshness” is pursued like the Holy Grail. There are actresses out there that when you look at them, you see something a bit special about them….they just stand out. They don’t need a lot of cosmetics or other help to make… More »
Oh, yeah – P.F. Chang’s, baby! Lettuce wraps and then some honey chicken….mmmmm, good. The only downside was that our server had a big old muffin top; I wouldn’t ordinarily be telling you that except uh, well, she had decided to show us her muffin top complete with her extra special beige control top underpants. I really wanted to tell her that this wasn’t a really good look, but she didn’t seem too overly concerned.
On to the gossip! First,… More »
I love how natural she looks – don’t you? She’s all Arwen and stuff. And yes, I’m a huge Lord of the Rings geek. So sue me.
