Leslie Odom Jr.: We Are Not All Artists the Same

22 May 2012 2:55 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »

We are not all artists the same. Process and purpose varies. Success and how we define it can

look so different from person to person. Gifts and talents make each of us so indelibly unique

that competition is pointless but we get lost in it anyway...

We are not all artists the same and yet... I cannot help but feel drawn to other artists. I cannot help but feel connected to others who consider themselves craftsmen, who devote their lives to

creation. And I think that we all find ourselves drawn to those who seem to have direct access to that "God Thing." That thing makes us want to believe again. That thing encourages us on one more day.

Great men have the ability to make us feel as though we can be great also.

In my final year at University, I was the recipient of a scholarship given by the Princess Grace

Foundation. »

Deborah Kerr: What Lies Beneath

22 May 2012 2:02 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Deborah Kerr, Burt Lancaster, From Here to Eternity. With Deborah Kerr, it’s not the bare shoulders that matter. It’s the eyes. Deborah Kerr, who died at the age of 86 on Oct. 16, 2007, has usually been labeled the cinematic embodiment of the English Rose: ladylike from coiffure to pedicure, perfectly enunciated English, a distinctive coolness, poise and class. I won’t argue with that description (except to point out that this English Rose was born in Scotland), but all the same I wonder if any of those labelers have ever watched Deborah Kerr on screen other than the "Shall We Dance?" sequence in The King and I. Then there are those who have seen two Deborah Kerr scenes: "Shall We Dance?" and the kissing-on-the-beach bit in From Here to Eternity. Shocking! Who would have guessed that the cool, red-headed British lady could be so fiery? Well, anyone who has paid »

Forgotten tour footage captures glamour of young Queen's reign

19 May 2012 4:45 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

From Iran's atomic research facility to a whaler off the Falkland Islands, the state visits of the 50s and 60s took the Queen and her family to some of the world's most extraordinary places. And wherever the royals went, the official camera teams were on duty. Now those film reels have been uncovered. Christopher Stevens reports

Forgotten footage of royal tours abroad in the 1950s and 60s reveals the sheer glamour of the Queen's travelling wardrobe, in an era when she rivalled film stars such as Elizabeth Taylor as the world's most photographed woman.

Films made by the Central Office of Information (Coi) for screening in cinemas overseas show the young monarch in sables and furs and bare-armed in dramatic satin dresses with elbow-length silk gloves or long, gauzy jackets.

More than four hours of film, released this week by the British Film Institute (BFI), overturns the perception of the »

Photos: A Royal On The Red Carpet

18 May 2012 3:01 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

While most of the royals from around the world were day-drinking at Windsor Castle today (seriously, most of them), one of Monaco's royal darlings was at a different party, hanging out south of London at a wee little film festival called Cannes.

The celebs were out in full force today in the south of France, taking time out from their packed roster of indie film screenings to catch a little light-hearted flick around noon: DreamWorks' "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted."

Some celebs, however, went to see a more erudite flick: a re-release of the Sergio Leone’s 1984 film "Once Upon A Time In America," sponsored by the Gucci Film Foundation. Gucci girls Gemma Arterton and Natasha Poly were in attendance, as well as Jane Fonda, Naomi Watts and Salma Hayek, who looked lovely in a sparkly -- you guessed it -- Gucci dress..

Girls on film: how Tim Burton finally got his vamp right

18 May 2012 2:02 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

You can't really be an auteur until you've got your type – and that's just as true for the women directors

Tim Burton's Dark Shadows may have received a kicking from critics, but one person has emerged from the dust-up unscathed: Eva Green, the French actress who plays the evil witch Angelique Bouchard. With her red-lacquered lips, her crazy-beautiful eyes and possessed-marionette limbs, Green's lolling vamp represents the perfection of a type Burton has long been trying to get right – from Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman in Batman Returns, to Lisa Marie Smith's bosomy Martian in Mars Attacks!, to Anne Hathaway's White Queen in Alice in Wonderland.

Critics may be tired of the rest of Burton's directorial signatures – the ornate production designs, the seventies kitsch, the collaboration with Johnny Depp – but he's finally perfected his vamps: peroxide-blonde, big-chested, cinch-waisted, eyes like Bambi's.

All film directors have their types. Everyone »

Diane Kruger wows at Cannes in mint green Giambattista Valli gown

17 May 2012 11:19 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

The 2012 Cannes Film Festival just kicked off, but fashion watchers are already proclaiming actress/model Diane Kruger the best-dressed woman on the red carpet. At the premiere of Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom," Kruger wowed in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown that inspired comparisons to iconic actress Grace Kelly.

The mint-green gown -- made up of several layers of pale sea-foam colored silk -- draped across one shoulder and flowed behind her in an elegant cloud. She complemented the subtly glamorous gown with a simple updo, diamond cluster earrings and pale platform heels.

Kruger, who co-starred in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds," is serving as a juror at the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival and expectations are high for the rest of her wardrobe at the two week event.

William Bradley: Mad Men: Danger! Slippery When Soapy (Especially in Dark Shadows)

15 May 2012 2:20 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »

If there's one thing we know for sure about the latest episode of Mad Men, it's this: All this soapiness can mean only one thing. People are about to die. You simply can't have so many soap suds flying around without folks slipping and hitting their heads on the sharp edges of all the symbols lying about.

Heh.

I wrote this sentence in the second paragraph of "Mad Men (Finally) Returns: Worth the Wait?," my piece here on the Huffington Post about the Mad Men season premiere: "I confess to a certain diffidence about it all, all two hours of it."

I have more than a certain diffidence about the latest episode, which takes us into the final third of a great show's uneven fifth season.

As always, there be some spoilers ahead. Incidentally, you can see all my Mad Men pieces, going back to 2009, here in The Mad Men File. »

The guest list for the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, which starts on May 16 and runs through May 27, is already getting us jazzed: Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Kristen Stewart, Zac Efron, Shia Labeouf, Robert Pattinson, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Hardy, Amy Adams, Viggo Mortensen and Matthew McConaughey, among others.

Needless to say, we are dying to see what everyone wears. Will Naomi Campbell stage another runway show? Is Uma Thurman going to wear more feathers? Most importantly, will Ryan Gosling be answer our prayers and wear another pajama top??

While we're also hoping for some shots of Angelina Jolie's engagement ring, it's the rich satorial history of the film festival that has us looking forward eagerly. Cannes began in the 1930s, and over the decades, some of Hollywood's most famous glamour girls have flitted to France for a very chic week of art and fashion, including Grace Kelly, Jayne Mansfield, »

'Mad Men': Betty's Season 5 Absence, Weight and What Both Say About the Character's Future

9 May 2012 10:37 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

We need to talk about Betty. As in the former Betty Draper, current Betty Francis and the once and future ice queen. Season five of Mad Men is eight episodes into its run, and January Jones’ character has appeared once, in the third episode. And when we did see her, it was a bit of shock. The former model and Grace Kelly lookalike had become fat -- and not just because she couldn’t shed the baby weight. Youngest son Gene is now 3 years old. No, Betty’s depression had caught up to her, and one of the last scenes in which

5 Things You Might Not Know About Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpiece 'Vertigo'

9 May 2012 6:56 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Voting is currently underway on the Sight & Sound poll for the greatest film ever made, which takes place every ten years, and is generally seen as one of the most definitive of such polls. And one film that's near-certain to place in the top ten, given that it's been there in every poll since 1982 (and placed second in 2002) is Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo." The film was relatively poorly received on release, and indeed, remained unseen for twenty years, one of the five films to which Hitchcock bought back the rights to leave to his daughter (the so-called Five Lost Hitchcocks, which also include "The Man Who Knew Too Much," "Rear Window," "Rope" and "The Trouble With Harry"). But since its re-release in 1984, the film has grown into the great director's most acclaimed masterpiece, and is now one of the most examined, deconstructed and written about films in the history of the medium. »

Nicole Kidman on Protecting Her Daughters

8 May 2012 10:48 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »

Nicole Kidman has been somewhat criticized after the birth of her 18-month-old daughter Faith Margaret, which occurred by "gestational carrier." Now the proud mum poses with her daughter on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Australia.

CBS News reports that a gestational carrier differs from a surrogate mother in that a gestational carrier carries another couple's fertilized embryo to term, whereas a surrogate typically uses her own eggs.

Much ado was made of the subject after Nicole and her husband Keith Urban publically thanked their gestational carrier following the Golden Globes.

For those who might criticize the actress for taking photos with her kids, Nicole tells the magazine, "I think it's Ok, because you can't see their faces; they're still protected. I feel it's a really lovely way to celebrate being a mum and being a family, and they're my daughters, and they're Keith's daughters [laughs] ... you can see the »

Nothing's more glamorous than ludicrous art sales, and this week the mother of all masterpieces switched hands: Edvard Munch's hand-drawn masterpiece "The Scream" sold at auction for $119 million, making it the most expensive piece of artwork on the planet. Insane. You know you can buy that poster at any garage sale, right? Right.

On this week's Weeklings, I decide to sell my own artwork for $119 million. It shouldn't be too hard thanks to cameos from Madonna, Grace Kelly, and Barbra Streisand. Thanks for showing up, ladies!

The 9 Most Annoying Gay Reality TV Stars Ever

1 May 2012 1:34 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

Remember when we tallied the 8 Most Annoying Gay Male Characters in TV History? That turned out to be very cathartic for me, and I thank you for joining me on that annoying journey. But the saga isn't over yet: Now we're counting off the nine most annoying reality TV stars in history, and I may need your help in naming offenders 10-150. Contribute those in the comments.

Word of caution: "Annoying" is sometimes an awesome trait. Definitely not always, but I make notice of the reality stars who rightfully wear the honor of "most annoying" like a badge of honor.

1. Survivor's Colton Cumbie

Yeah, nothing about this guy deserves a badge of honor. Can you believe there was a time when we'd have considered Richard Hatch one of the most annoying gay contestants on a reality series? Oh, our innocence! Survivor: One World's Colton Cumbie was a racist, »
