Question: did anyone actually like Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close? In seems to be universally panned as a groan-worthy example of annoying characters and emotional exploitation, yet the flick managed to grab an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. So how did that happen? By following some key steps that made it an unavoidably delectable piece of Academy bait.

Rottentomatoes.com is the how most of us decide which movies are worth our thirteen dollars. Maybe you can gamble on a 55% film if you love the star, and despite 87% awarded to a thriller you might know you’ll enjoy the Katherine Heigl rom-com more, but you can get a sense of the artistic value of a film by the Tomatometer.

Here at Crushable, we post about Ryan Gosling a lot. How could we not? The actor chooses smart, dynamic movie roles and manages to be cute and occasionally bashful in interviews. We’ve commented on his snappy style, Canadian heritage, and the Internet memes dedicated to him. So how to ring in his 31st birthday?
Instead of choosing a specific theme — like I said, we’ve basically covered them all — here are the photos of Ryan that have stuck with us over the years, ever since he started out as Young Hercules. More »

On the tenth anniversary of 9/11, my family watched Lifetime’s minute-by-minute broadcast of the attacks, featuring footage from ten years ago. It was grim and sad; we just sat quietly for two hours and cried. Not to sound glib, but after watching the first trailer for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, I have no doubt the movie will be just as heartrending. More »

Yesterday, people all around the internet (including us) swooned at the video of Mila Kunis giving shit to a reporter in her native Russian. But she’s not the only celebrity who speaks another language. Here are some clips of stars like Natalie Portman, Sandra Bullock, and Johnny Depp speaking in their first, second, or fifth languages.

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 »
We talk so much about celebrities’ outrageous tattoos that I figured it was worth searching for actors, musicians, and reality stars who have more lasting impressions on their skin. Some are self-inflicted, others thanks to medicine and diseases alike. But you can bet that we remember each and every one. More »

Us Magazine has just reported that Jesse James got a book deal with Simon & Schuster to publish a memoir.
After I stopped laughing, I came up with a few chapter titles that I think Jesse might consider for his book. Jesse, you can have these free of charge.
P.S. I would suggest you consider this as a title: Tattooed Arms, Tattered Heart: The Jesse James Story. More »
You guys? We’re starting to think that Jesse James might have a type. And that type is heavily tattooed, heavily unhinged brunettes. Today, Jesse’s second ex-wife Janine Lindemulder was arrested for allegedly harassing the West Coast Choppers honcho. And this comes not long after Jesse’s ex-mistress, a woman named Bombshell with a white supremacist mark embedded onto her body warned his new fiance, a gal with a lightning bolt tattooed onto her face, about marrying Mr. James. Check out our gallery of Jesse’s tattooed ladies. More »
Jesse James, the tattoo loving, cheating former husband of Sandra Bullock just can’t get a break. First, he totally got caught sleeping with a tattooed stripper, and then he got caught cheating with more ladies. Oh, then photos surfaced of him in a Nazi hat in the Spring. And just yesterday, he got caught in a photo with another dude wearing a hat with a jaunty Hitler salute. Man, it’s such a bummer when C-list celebrities’ own stupidity keeps haunting them!
Now the History Channel will soon be airing an episode of Jesse James Blacksmith where he travels to Israel to learn the “world’s greatest blacksmith,” who also happens to be Jewish. This is either really bad – or really good timing.
According to Jesse James’ friends, he just really into “History.” But Dr. Gilda, our favorite celebrity relationship expert, isn’t buying it. She says those photos of Jesse with Nazi memorabilia can “tell us a lot about who this man is.” And what they tell us is not good. More »
We really don’t get why Jesse James and Kat Von D insist on splattering their relationship all over the news. You would think that they would realize they were the worst – or at least he is the worst, and she’s just pretty awful just by association – and would try to tone down their media appearances. But instead these two go to every event that doesn’t have a dress shirt policy and open-tongue each other. Gross. More »

Those rumors about Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock being a couple are a bit strange. (Life isn’t The Proposal people!) But the weirdest thing that we’ve heard about them possibly dating is that Ryan’s soon to be ex-wife Scarlett Johannson is upset about the whole thing. According to PopEater, ScarJo thinks Ryan is handling their breakup poorly.
That’s funny, because our source says that Scarlett is the one whose cheating ended their relationship. More »
