Pink Joins Gwyneth Paltrow’s Sex Addict Dramedy Thanks For Sharing

Natalie Zutter — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:14:53 +0000

Pink‘s music has been featured in everything from White Chicks to Fantastic Four, and she’s even had a few roles in indie movies, but now the singer is making her acting debut in Thanks For Sharing—and she’s doing it under her real name, Alecia Moore.

Thanks For Sharing is a dramedy in the vein of 28 Days, about a support group for sex addicts. The movie’s stars are Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo, who play fellow rehab patients who fall in love. Making up their support system is Tim Robbins (with Joely Richardson) playing his wife, The Book of Mormon‘s Josh Gad, and now Pink. (Or for the purposes of this story, should we refer to her as Alecia?)

All we know is that Pink’s character Dede is “a kindred spirit” to Josh’s character Neil. Is she another sex addict having a forbidden romance? Is she an average person that he has to hide his shameful secret from? Thanks For Sharing has just started filming, so we won’t know for a while.

But this is a really excellent role for Pink to choose as her mainstream debut. Through her music she boldly takes on issues like depression (“Fuckin’ Perfect”), alcoholism and other dependencies (“Sober,” “Just Like A Pill”), and heartbreak (“So What”). So of course she’s better suited for a bold drama with moments of comedy, rather than a weepy indie or knuckle-headed comedy. We’re really looking forward to seeing what she does with the role.

We Could Get Behind Lady Gaga and Beyonce As Pop Culture Power Rangers

Natalie Zutter — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 17:20:42 +0000

It’s shocking how many times the Power Rangers have changed forms since we watched the original show in 1993. They’ve been ninjas, samurai, time travelers, and possibly dinosaurs? (They’re almost as bad as the Disney princesses!) But we kinda like this new reimagining of them as pop princesses with hair that conveniently matches the colors of the originals’ uniforms.

That’s Katy Perry as the Blue Ranger/intellectual, Nicki Minaj as the Pink Ranger/sexpot, Rihanna as the Red Ranger/leader, Beyonce as the Black Ranger/action star, and Lady Gaga as the Yellow Ranger/tough one.

One suggestion, however: We’d like to nominate Pink as the new White Ranger. (We tried to find a suitable Green Ranger, but the only celebrity with green hair we could find was Avril Lavigne, and that’s just preposterous.)

Last week we posted a photo of Dianna Agron‘s new pink hair, and that night I had a dream that I’d dyed my own hair pink. And now I really want to do it. Should I? I bet it’d look weird. Because they’re much cooler than I am, here are some celebs who have pulled off hot pink locks.

Twitter Roundup: Celebrities Respond to New York Marriage Equality Ruling

Lilit Marcus — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 17:20:08 +0000

Last night, New York politicians voted to make gay marriage legal, becoming the sixth US state to do so. But what do the famous people think?

The 30 Rock star, who recently expressed interest in running for Mayor of New York City, praised Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon for all the hard work she and her partner, Christine Marinoni have done for LGBT rights.

Steve Martin, on the other hand, just wanted to put a ring on Alec Baldwin. Get in line, dude.

Video: Does Pink’s ‘F*ckin’ Perfect’ Make Cutting Look Cool?

Drew Grant — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 20:00:48 +0000

Somewhere in the middle of high school, cutting yourself became a cool thing to do. It suddenly appeared one day on the radar as something people did -no d’uh – though I remember thinking at the time that we were probably the first generation of kids ever stupid enough to put something permanent on their bodies just because we hated our parents/school/whatever. (Tattoos and piercings didn’t count of course, because they were awesome.)

When my friend Alisha rolled up her sleeves one day in math class and whispered with smug confidence that if her parents ever saw the scars she was hiding, she’d have to be taken out of school again, I remember thinking “What a moronic way to get attention.” I had zero sympathy for cutters, because it seemed like a manipulative cry for help. Like, could you be any more obvious? It was also super-disgusting looking, and not very subtle for people who were constantly claiming they didn’t want “anyone to see.”

That was before my close friends started cutting themselves. And then family members. Pretty soon, it seemed like I was the only girl I knew that was too scared or too grossed out to take a razor and start hacking away at my arms or thighs. But I remember that feeling of nausea and bewilderment that came the first time I looked at my friend’s arm, and that’s the same feeling I have while watching Pink‘s new video, “F*ckin’ Perfect.”

Gallery: How Celebrities Hide – Or Flaunt – Their Baby Bump

Drew Grant — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:56:39 +0000

How did everyone in Hollywood get knocked up in the span of like, two weeks? We thought babies were the new hot commodity in 2008, and that this year’s trend would be, we dunno, adopting a baby from space or something. (There are a lot of babies in outer space that need good homes, just check out 2001: A Space Odyssey if you don’t believe me.)

And just as there are many different types of celeb fashion, there are just as many ways to flaunt your baby bump, which is that extra 4 pounds that paparazzi starts taking pictures of, regardless of whether you’re actually pregnant or not. We check out the recent mommys-to-be to see how they’re accessorising around nature’s little accessory.
