Sharon Stone: Meryl Streep "Looks Like An Unmade Bed"
3 hours ago
Sharon Stone, 51, has some choice words for Meryl Streep, 60, in the new issue of Tatler magazine, saying the "It's Complicated" star gets so much work at least in part because Streep looks "like an unmade bed" and is "because she looks like a woman we can all relate to." Stone was most recently seen in "Basic Instinct 2" and "Bobby" in 2006 and talking about her "good friend" the Dalai Lama" in 2008. "I think that's why Meryl Streep is working so much, because she looks like a woman we can all relate to," Stone tells Tatler. "I look at her and I think, 'I'm chasing my kids, I've moved my parents in with me, I'm coping with food spills - that looks like me in real life'. "Meryl looks like an unmade bed, and that's what I look like. To me, »

Amanda Bynes Strips Down For Maxim (Photos)
5 hours ago
Nickelodeon starlet Amanda Bynes has grown up and gotten herself a spread in Maxim. "Some people still see me as a kid, but I'm a 23-year-old woman now," she tells the lad mag. Amanda draws the line at porn but has a Leonardo DiCaprio loophole. "I want to show people who I am," she said. "My parents were like, 'Does this mean you're gonna do sexy movies now?' I said, 'Well, if they're done the right way, then maybe!' I mean, I'm not gonna do porn, but if it's a Leonardo DiCaprio movie or whatever..."

Doctor Who: The Long Goodbye
6 hours ago
"He will knock four times." And so, the finale for the great tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant, came round at last. It was the end of a long goodbye, which itself was part of a long goodbye. For those who have not seen it, there are spoilers ahead. "He will knock four times." After something of an uncertain start in "The End of Time, Part 1," the finale in "The End of Time, Part 2," over New Year's weekend, was much more assured. Before dealing with the Doctor's death -- yes, he regenerates, but he regards it as the death of a self, namely his, referring to his regenerated self as "a new man" -- let's deal first with the storyline. The Narrator, played by former James Bond Timothy Dalton, it swiftly turned out, was far more, the head of »

Polanski Lawyers Cite Dying Witness as Reason to Hold Hearing Soon
7 hours ago
At a public hearing yesterday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Chad Hummel, the lead defense attorney in Roman Polanski's criminal matter, wanted it known that although he had recently asked for an in-chambers meeting to confer about one particular issue of "great sensitivity," he had never suggested anything else shouldn't be discussed in open court. Judge Peter Espinoza didn't seem to regard the issue as all that sensitive, and revealed Hummel was alluding to a witness who soon might become unavailable to testify. Other than Espinoza suggesting the unnamed person's testimony could be recorded "for posterity," thus dismissing Hummel's contention that an evidentiary hearing needs to be scheduled as soon as possible, nothing else was mentioned about the mystery witness before court was adjourned. Later I spoke with Larry Silver, the attorney for Polanski's victim, Samantha Geimer, who confirmed the »

Susan Sarandon's New Life: Clubbing, Dining & Drinking With Jonathan Bricklin
9 hours ago
Two weeks after announcing her split from longtime partner Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon is not slowing down: In fact, the 63-year-old single star has been spotted out at several New York City nightspots. One of Sarandon's favorite hotspots is SPiN, the ping-pong club where she's an investor. On Tuesday night, she strolled into the place just before 8:00 p.m., wearing a slouchy black newsboy cap and sneakers to chat with one of her partners at the lounge, Jonathan Bricklin, and a few friends. Rumors have swirled of a romance between Sarandon and 32-year-old Bricklin, but reps for both have denied it. Still, Sarandon seems to be enjoying the single life. »

Casey Johnson's Friends Accuse Tila Tequila Of Publicity Whoring
10 hours ago
Tila Tequila continues to find new channels for fame in her fiancee's death. The latest Tila stunt is an Internet war with Nicky Hilton and Bijou Philips over the fate of Casey Johnson's dogs. Wednesday afternoon Nicky and Bijou stopped by Tila's house to pick up Casey's belongings and dogs for return to the Johnson family. Tila aired a fear that Casey's friends planned to put the dogs to sleep, as the heiress had once asked that her elderly poodle Zoey be buried with her in the event of her untimely death. "They don't care about the dogs. They are putting them to sleep to bury with Casey," she sobbed to the cameras. When asked by photogs if they planned to put the dogs to sleep, Bijou shook her head no. The consensus among Casey's friends seems to be that »

Better Late Than Never: The Best Movies of 2009
10 hours ago
Pardon the obvious tardiness, but as often occurs, life got in the way. So, no more procrastination, here are my favorite films of the just finished year, in alphabetical order, with my very favorite pick singled out at the end. And away we go... Avatar James Cameron wasn't lying. The hype was real. It may very well be a game-changer. The 3D effects were completely immersive. The special effects and motion capture performances were seamless. The film did become a phenomenon, becoming the second-biggest grossing film of all time, just behind Cameron's Titanic. It wowed and touched audiences all around the world. James Cameron promised the moon and delivered in spades. It may not be the most original story ever told, and I have no idea how it will age, for now »

Avatar and the Vocabulary of Evildoers -- Or, Why James Cameron's Script Isn't as Bad as You Think
11 hours ago
While critics have unanimously agreed that the visual spectacle that is James Cameron's Avatar is beyond compare, there has been less enthusiasm for the plot line, which has been called out as flat and unoriginal. It's quite true that the movie's script -- which centers on a tribe of indigenous creatures whose ancestral arboreal homeland is being destroyed by contracted soldiers in service of a resource extraction company -- has its weak points, perhaps most notably the endless stream of one-liners that emanate from the film's primary antagonists: corporate evil bad guy Parker Selfridge (played by Giovanni Ribisi) and the muscle behind his operation, Col. Miles Quarritch. In one memorable moment, Ribisi's character (who apparently keeps a hovering chunk of the hilariously yet somewhat profoundly named mineral "Unobtanium" on his desk at all times just so he can explain its purpose »

Gosselin Kids Wonder If The Nanny Is Their New Mom
13 hours ago
Gosselin nanny Stephanie Santoro--yes, the one who claimed to have sex with Jon in the family hot tub--has given another interview to In Touch Weekly: As their marriage unraveled, Jon and Kate Gosselin always insisted on one thing: They would make sure their kids got through it all unscathed. But that couldn't be further from reality. In an exclusive interview, the family's former nanny Stephanie Santoro tells Life & Style the children have been devastated by their parents' bitter breakup -- and the end of Jon & Kate Plus 8. Cara, one of the couple's 9-year-old twins, "used to sit and cry to me that she didn't understand and thought it was her fault," says Stephanie. "I would always tell her, 'It's not your fault, it's just something that happened. Mommy and Daddy will tell you more.'" But Jon and Kate can't »

Nine
14 hours ago
Is maddening. I am a sucker for movies about the creative process. I thought Tristam Shandy, A Cock and Bull Story was one of the best movies of the recently concluded first decade of the MMs. Nine tries to take us into the genius of Frederico Fellini. It fails of course, but in failing gets full marks for trying. But, a lot of fun. Who can dislike a movie that allows you to dream of tooling around Roma with a beautiful woman by your side in a 1960s Alfa Romeo convertible? Wearing, of course, a perfectly fitted Armani black suit and thin black tie, cigarette dangling from a world-weary lip, unkempt with a two-day beard, keeping the RPMs up as you speed shift around fountains and down narrow streets? Curious how convertible sports cars were designed then...all looks and style, no »

All a Fake, But What Difference Does It Make?
14 hours ago
A friend sent me a link to a video featuring something called the Incredible Music Machine. If you haven't seen it, you absolutely must check it out. Like a gazillion other viewers, I was mesmerized by a fantastic room full of strings and gears and cogs and drumheads, brass pipes and xylophone pads. Oh, and thousands of bouncing balls, all spewing out of horns and hitting the strings and pads in such a way that it made some of the sweetest music I've heard in a long while. All so wonderful, except for one thing: it was a fake. But what a fake. Like so many internet hoaxes, the text accompanying the email and video helped me "fall" for it. The text had such a feeling of authenticity. A university connection fed the reality. Supposedly, the machine had been built in »

Elvis: The King of Rock 'n' Roll Turns 75
14 hours ago
Teenagers in the 1950s and '60s turned Elvis Presley into an icon. His shaking hips and curled lips sent rock 'n' roll shockwaves reverberating around the world and challenged prevailing notions about sex, race and class. As we celebrate what would have been his 75th birthday on January 8th, we should take note of the impact he had on the culture. He emerged from his impoverished childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi to become America's pop culture superstar in the wake of the Us Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education on May 5, 1954 which rocked the South. His controversial singing style, mixing blues, country (at the time called "hillbilly"), and black and white gospel music with a sexually charged stage presence, made Presley "Public Enemy Number One" for those who felt threatened by the tsunami of the »

Letterman Needs To Fix His Mistake
14 hours ago
I've heard my fair share of gay jokes. In fact, many of the most high profile come from members of the straight community: celebrities and supporters who use Lgb issues to get a laugh, but also to get the issue out there and in the public eye. Sometimes I groan, often I laugh, rarely do I get offended. But my generation may be the first to have that luxury. We are building on decades of struggle and awareness-raising around gay issues. The trans community, however, is still in the beginning stages of gaining visibility, fighting for acceptance and defending against violence and discrimination. I'm not talking about discussing gender identity with your conservative southern parents. I mean, not being physically assaulted in large, liberal urban centers. So, when David Letterman makes a joke about how disgusting it is to sleep »

Comic Artie Lange stabbed himself nine times in an apparent suicide attempt and landed in the hospital recently, according to a New York Post Page 6 news report. The Post says that Lange's mother called 911 Saturday morning after finding Lange covered in blood at his Hoboken apartment. Hospital staff was able to save Lange -- a sidekick of Howard Stern -- despite his injuries, and he is alive today. "We all have our demons," Stern said of Lange's battles with addiction. Lange had been missing from Stern's show on Sirius Radio for more than a month. Read the Artie Lange Page 6 news report here. »

Gwyneth Paltrow's Year In Cleansing: Time For Post-Holiday Detox
15 hours ago
It's that time of year when Gwyneth bemoans her holiday overindulgence and sets out to reverse the damage. As usual she's sharing her detox program through her newsletter, Goop, so that everyone can suffer along with her. This year Gwyneth recommends a juice fast from her friend's health food store Organic Avenue. For all of us resolution detoxers who want to start the year anew, I have asked Doug Evans and Denise Mari, co-founders of New York City's fantastic Organic Avenue to contribute his knowledge. I discovered Organic Avenue a few years ago through a girlfriend who was about to do one of their fasts, and I joined her on the 5 day program. The result was pretty amazing and the juices and smoothies (esp. the coconut mylk and the cacao smoothie) were so delicious that I imbibe them »

Jennifer Aniston, 20, Coy With Howard Stern In Replayed 1989 Clip
17 hours ago
In 1989 -- long before Friends, Brad Pitt and all the rest -- Jennifer Aniston was an unknown actress who'd just entered her 20s. To raise her profile, the Hollywood hopeful made an appearance on the Howard Stern Show as a "NutriSystem success story." (She had recently lost 15 pounds on the diet plan, which was a sponsor of Stern's radio show.) Howard Stern and his crew replayed clips of that vintage appearance -- one of the earliest featuring the future star -- on The History of Howard Stern: Act III, a Sirius Xm radio documentary series that looks back on Stern's life and career on radio. During her appearance, Aniston shyly talks about her skimpy acting resume. "I did a show [For Dear Life] at the Public Theater [in Manhattan]...I've only been in it [acting] a year professionally," she says »

Benjamin Millepied: Natalie Portman's Boyfriend? (Photo, Info)
17 hours ago
Does Natalie Portman have a new boyfriend? In Touch Weekly is reporting that for months the notoriously private actress has been quietly seeing the choreographer of her new movie, Black Swan. Benjamin Millepied, 32, is a classically trained ballet dancer who was born in France and studied at the Conservatoire National in Lyon and the School of American Ballet as a teen. He is now a principal dancer at New York City Ballet. In Touch reports: Natalie stepped out with her fellow New Yorker for the first time in public at a low-key New Year's Eve party in Tribeca. "She has been subletting Sarah Michelle Gellar's apartment and she wanted to celebrate the New Year with a few close friends and introduce them to Ben," says an insider. "They have actually been a couple since the fall, but she wanted to »

Interview: Michael Cera's quiet Revolt
17 hours ago
At the age of 21, Michael Cera has been acting professionally for more than half his life, since he was a pre-teen in his native Toronto. His breakthrough role - at least in Hollywood - was the Emmy-winning but short-lived sit-com, Arrested Development. It showcased his comedy style of misdirection: mild-mannered exterior, disguising an inner fire that sneaks out in hesitant, unexpected ways. His open, slightly defensive smile is a secret weapon, masking a subversive streak that comes through in his work, such as Youth in Revolt, opening Friday (1/8/10). In that film, he plays Nick Twisp, a would-be teen rebel who taps into his inner bad-boy - literally - to woo the woman he loves. When I spoke to him at the Toronto Film Festival in September, he seemed to be sharing a joke with himself. Affable and polite, he also had »

Vivre Le Creep: Youth In Revolt
6 January 2010 10:51 PM, PST
Ralph Meeker, Dan Duryea, Vince Edwards, Steve Cochran. There's just something about the asshole. Scratch that. That's too strong and vulgar and dismissive of a word. More like, the shit heel, the hinky hombre, the shit bird, the gas house palooka, whichever old-timey slang you choose to apply, these fellas are smarmy, slimy, ready with the pimp hand and sport that proverbial cat-that-at-the-canary grin whenever a comely broad crosses their path. If you're upset, you're just, as Duryea spits in The Little Foxes, "showing off your grief" (though he dares utter this to a man, which, in the rare case of the actor's screen career, causes Mr. Duryea to become the recipient of the bitch slap, rather than his usual backhand). And should you ever flag down a car in hysterical distress; the good looking stinker might not give you »
