Is That Robert Pattinson or James Dean?
15 July 2009 2:13 AM, PDT | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news
The dreamy British actor seems to be channeling the American acting and style icon at every turn, here smoking a cigarette on the set of next year's romantic drama Remember Me. Pattinson's co-star is also, conveniently, his current squeeze: Aussie beauty Emilie de Ravin.
Incidentally, for those of you with Rpod (Robert Pattinson Obsessive Disorder), we think we've discovered the ultimate RPattz fan site, with dozens of fresh, hi-res photos posted almost daily: mrpattinson.com. You can even count the number of chest hairs, if you are so inclined.

Robert Pattinson Looks Wet and Sexy in Magazine Pictures
8 July 2009 8:18 PM, PDT | From Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news
Robert Pattinson's super sexy pictures have been unveiled. In one of the photos, the "Twilight" hunk was photographed in wet t-shirt look. In another image, the British actor smiled and donned a jeans vest that showed his abs.
"They threw a bucket of water on him!" a source which was on set told Us magazine about Robert's wet look picture. "He was willing to do anything. Didn't complain at all." The photos were originally taken for Rolling Stone magazine, but since the print media never published them, Us Weekly features the photos in its latest issue, which hits the newsstands on July 8.
Robert's sexy pictures were taken in New York City in an around five-hour photo shoot. The shots were taken by photographer Theo Wenner and inspired by James Dean and a 1991 River Phoenix film "My Own Private Idaho".

Sexy Photos of Robert Pattinson Unveiled
8 July 2009 7:16 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news
Nowadays sought-after actor, Robert Pattinson, creates another media frenzy yet again as Us Weekly has made public a number of what is called as "super sexy, never-seen" shots of the "Twilight" leading actor. The pics were taken in New York City by photographer Theo Wenner and inspired by James Dean and 1991 film "My Own Private Idaho" that starred River Phoenix.
In one of the pics obtained by the publication, Robert is seen wearing a jeans vest combined with matching pants. His unbuttoned top exposes his chest for the camera. He is photographed smiling. In another pic, he is snapped soaking wet and wearing a white t-shirt and necklace. "They threw a bucket of water on him!" a source on set says of the star's wet t-shirt look. "He was willing to do anything. Didn't complain at all."
The two described photos are parts of a 6-page exclusive secret photo shoot

First Look: Ricky Gervais in Cemetery Junction
24 June 2009 12:26 PM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
Ricky Gervais has been talking up his next work with Stephen Merchant, titled Cemetery Junction, formerly The Men From The Pru. It seems clear that Gervais has taken a back seat on this film. He previously stated that he was looking for the English, 23-year old versions of John Travolta, James Dean and Lou Costello. A big ask, definitely, but I have faith that Gervais and Merchant will deliver a film that will be both realistic and hilarious. Our first look at Gervais has been released on his always-excellent blog, which is covering the seven week shoot. His character is called Len Taylor, about whom he blogged the following: “I play a fat middle-aged bloke from Reading by the way. Chameleon.” A joke, obviously. Gervais plays variations of himself in everything he’s done, which I’ll be honest is an advantage because he’s hilarious, and if he feels he can’t act something out of

Bronte to Tarantino: New Film Overindulges in Famous Names
12 June 2009 12:15 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
When it comes to cinematic oversaturation, our tipping point is relatively low. Take Spider-Man 3. Just a handful of villains and stories and the complaints start rolling in. Even when it comes to collections of stories, the numbers are not very high --Paris je t'aime slips in with 20. But how about a roster of names that make 5, 10, or 20 look like child's play?
There's a new indie film on the horizon called Lives and Deaths of the Poets, written and directed by Leland Steigs. According to IMDb, it "spoofs and parodies incidents taken from the lives of famous writers, artists and musicians throughout history" -- with approximately 60 comic vignettes. The names include -- get ready for this -- Quentin Tarantino, Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, Jimi Hendrix, Yoko Ono, Ed Wood, James Dean, Pablo Picasso, Emily Bronte, Stanley Kubrick, Edgar Allen Poe, Marilyn Monroe, Marcel Proust, Michael Jackson, Henry Miller, Mary Shelley,

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
Q: So Gregory Michael, who plays gay on Dante’s Cove, is now playing Calvin’s love interest on Greek. So what gives? Gay guy or just a really cool straight one? – Jason, Milwaukee, Wi
A: A really cool straight one.
“I didn't have any reservations about it being gay or what kind of character it was,” Gregory tells AfterElton.com. “Just, ‘It's another role – are you ready to do it?’ You look at everything. I just got back from the holidays [when I did it]. Did I eat too much? Am I going to look good? You look at those things, not, ‘Oh, I'm doing another gay role.’”
Interestingly, Gregory didn’t even consider the aspect of doing two prominent gay roles until his manager said to him, "You know you're doing another gay role.

'S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale' (DVD)
25 May 2009 9:40 PM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news
It’s not hard to ruin a sequel. We’ve all seen it before: producers hungry for a quick buck and devoid of new ideas rehash for the cash, with little care for trivial pursuits like story or production value. Even with noble intentions, there are innumerable ways to mess up a winning formula. While there are a few sequels that arguably bested the originals — Godfather II, Evil Dead II, The Empire Strikes Back — we’ve come to expect that they won’t measure up.
Which is why S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale was so utterly confounding. I’m a big fan of the original, a singular film that successfully blended thought-provoking sci-fi with a moving portrait of adolescence. It would be challenging to come close to that film’s strange power. So I went in with low expectations and was still blown away by how completely inept and

Carrie Rickey Defends Christian Bale from Minnow Attack
20 May 2009 3:14 PM, PDT | From Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news
Carrie Rickey, a.k.a. Flickgrrl, responds to a critical barf hurled at mega-cheekboned actor Christian Bale (Empire of the Sun, American Psycho, Christopher Nolan's Batman revival, the imminent Terminator Salvation--could the later title be more vainglorious?), whose raging f-word rant may have cost him the Miss Congeniality award in perpetuity. Though I don't disagree with anything Carrie says in defense of Bale's acting, daring range, and fanatical commitment, I find him something of an abstraction on screen, a sculptural feat that leaves me somewhat cold. But the attack on Bale to which she's responding is based on such dated sentimentalities that you have to dust off the sentences and remind yourself you're not reading Rex Reed circa 1983: When we look into the dark pools of intensity that are Christian Bale’s eyes, do we see a star reflected in them? A star, that is, in the

Adam Lambert And Kris Allen Face Off In Final 'American Idol' Showdown

Judges put the final two neck-and-neck going into Wednesday's finale.

Ryan Seacrest said it best at the top of the show: Tuesday night's (May 19) final "American Idol" performance episode was the decisive showdown between "the acoustic rocker versus the glam rocker ... Conway versus California ... the guy next door versus the guyliner."
And when Adam Lambert and Kris Allen came down the center stairs, the difference couldn't have been clearer. Lambert was rocking a black leather jacket, tight black jeans, black fingerless gloves and a black shirt accented by a long silver scarf-looking necklace, while Allen went the James Dean route with a more modestly cut black leather jacket, blue jeans and a white T-shirt.
With three songs each, Lambert, 27, opened the night reprising his acclaimed cover of Tears for Fears' "Mad World." Looking comfortable on a fog-enshrouded stage that must have

Marlon Brando Outs Paul Newman in New Book
14 May 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news
Actor Paul Newman passed away less than a year ago at the age of 83 and now that he's gone writer Darwin Porter is releasing a book in which Marlon Brando says that Newman was bisexual and had affairs with men. Porter interviewed Brando before "The Godfather" star died in 2004 and waited until now to release a book that may tarnish a legend's reputation, knowing that Newman will not be able to dispute the allegations. In his book, "Paul Newman: The Man Behind The Baby Blues," Porter quotes Brando as saying, "He never fooled me. Paul Newman had just as many on-location affairs as the rest of us, and he was just as bisexual as I was. But, where I was always getting caught with my pants down, he managed to do it in the dark." Porter told The Globe that he's been doing everything he can to find out

New Bio Has Marlon Brando Outing Paul Newman

It hasn't even been a year since Paul Newman passed away at the age of 83, but that isn't stopping a new, and sure to be controversial biography, one that has one icon supposedly outing the other. Canoe reports that a new book from Darwin Porter called Paul Newman: The Man Behind the Baby Blues has Marlon Brando outing Newman.
Porter says he interviewed Brando before his death in 2004, and the man said: "He never fooled me. Paul Newman had just as many on-location affairs as the rest of us, and he was just as bisexual as I was. But, where I was always getting caught with my pants down, he managed to do it in the dark." But this isn't just a case of a shocking revelation. Porter is a sexual detective ridiculously obsessed with Newman's sex life, saying that he tracked the actor's sexual encounters ever since they

Newman's Secret Sex Life The Subject Of Scandalous New Expose
13 May 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Paul Newman has been 'outed' from beyond the grave by Marlon Brando, according to writer Darwin Porter's scandalous new book on the late movie legend.
Porter interviewed Brando about Newman before the acting great died in 2004 - and he was stunned with what the heavyweight star let slip.
In his book, Paul Newman: The Man Behind The Baby Blues, he quotes Brando as saying, "He never fooled me. Paul Newman had just as many on-location affairs as the rest of us, and he was just as bisexual as I was. But, where I was always getting caught with my pants down, he managed to do it in the dark."
Porter tells America's the Globe he has been tracking Newman's secret sexual encounters since he met the actor in 1959 and alleges in his new book the late star, who was happily married to actress Joanne Woodward for 50 years, bedded icons like Grace Kelly, Judy Garland, Natalie Wood and Marilyn Monroe.
The writer also claims Newman and James Dean had a gay romance.
But the actor's family has dismissed Porter's book, claiming the sex allegations are "disgusting".
A source says, "Paul knew there were rumours out there about his sexuality and to have to face them when he's not here to dispute them is Joanne's worst nightmare."
The Long Goodbye: Elliott Gould Remembers Robert Altman
10 May 2009 2:01 PM, PDT | From The Hollywood Interview | See recent The Hollywood Interview news
(Elliott Gould, above, as Philip Marlowe in The Long Goodbye.)
by Jon Zelazny
Editor’s note: this article originally appeared at EightMillionStories.com on November 14, 2008.
With the back-to-back success of his Oscar-nominated role in the off-beat wife-swapping hit Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969) and the even bigger off-beat hit Mash (1970), Brooklyn’s own Elliott Gould skyrocketed to worldwide fame.
While perhaps best known to those under 40 as Ross and Monica’s dad on “Friends,” or Vegas financier Reuben Tishkoff in the blockbuster Ocean’s 11 series, cine-scholars generally regard Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye (1973) as Gould’s most iconic starring role. 2008 marks the 35th anniversary of their extraordinary modern-day reinterpretation of Raymond Chandler’s classic private eye, Philip Marlowe.
Elliott Gould invited me to his home in west Los Angeles, where he generously spoke at length of his three major collaborations with Altman, who passed away two years ago.

S. Darko (DVD Review)
8 May 2009 11:38 AM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news
At one point on the S. Darko DVD’s audio commentary, director Chris Fisher says something along the lines of, “I’m not sure I know what’s going on.” That wasn’t exactly comforting to hear while trying to make sense of everything that had transpired thus far.
This sequel to Richard Kelly’s cult fave Donnie Darko, debuting on disc from Fox Home Entertainment, isn’t the completely awful film many thought it would be (or wanted it to be), but it’s not great by any means, and many of its flaws derive from how this continuation adapts the original’s mythology and concepts. So take note: This review may become a bit spoiler-heavy. For those who want to sit this review out until they see the film, know simply that S. Darko may be intriguing enough to be worth a peek for fans of the original,
