Molly Shannon On The Tragedy That Changed Her Life Forever
17 May 2013 3:53 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
At 48, Molly Shannon is still the kind of woman who turns heads, with her mischievous grin and twinkling blue eyes. And, when she opens her mouth, she’s also the kind of woman who causes you to bust a gut. In short, she’s wildly funny. Shannon is perhaps best known for her six-year run on “Saturday Night Live,” where she brought to life such remarkable characters as 50-year-old Sally O’Malley between 1995 and 2001. But she’s also enjoyed a memorable presence on many other TV shows as well, appearing on everything from “Seinfeld” to “The Middle” to HBO’s “Enlightened.”
No doubt she’s stayed incredibly busy. She will soon appear in the Clark Gregg comedy “Trust Me” and is also co-writing a new Disney feature about moms on a road trip.
Born in 1964 in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Shannon endured a horrific tragedy early on that would shape the rest of her life. »

‘Elysium’ Viral Website Launches: Can You Secure A Place Off Earth?
16 May 2013 3:42 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
They’re been teasing this website longer than you can say something long but now, finally, the slightly creepy Elysium viral campaign website has launched! If you’re not sure what I mean by viral campaign, it’s like a mix of movie marketing that also starts to make the world from the movie real. Well, as real as viably possible.
In this case, there’s an automated plastic-looking robot man who asks you questions to see if you can enter their unique and perfect Elysium world. If you fail though, or if you answer their questions in the wrong way, there’s a possibility you’ll never get off Earth (which is crumbling to pieces), and you will never experience the beauty and luxury of this so-called asylum called, quite aptly, Elysium.
If you still think I’m babbling nonsense, it’s for the new Neill Blomkamp (District 9) film starring Matt Damon, »

Jennifer Lawrence praises Jodie Foster's working style
15 May 2013 1:55 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Los Angeles, May 16: Oscar winning actress Jennifer Lawrence says she liked director Jodie Foster's direction style when she worked with her in the 2011 movie "The Beaver".
Lawrence, 22, enjoyed the fact that Foster, who is an actress herself, was clear about what she wanted from actors while shooting.
"What I like about working with an actress as a director is that she's not afraid of actors," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Lawrence as saying.
"People tip-toe around actors like they are emotional land mines, which is probably right, but I find that annoying because I want someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong. She was very blunt. She would just be like, 'Talk louder. Do this'. I like that a lot," she said.

The ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ star is on the June cover of ‘Allure’ and she reveals in an interview that she may raise children with a woman.
Zoe Saldana is not against taking a dip in the lady pond. In fact, the actress says that if it feels right, she’d “do that” — be with a woman — because it’s her life.

Angelina Jolie's deeply personal revelation in a New York Times op-ed that she underwent a double mastectomy in February to minimize her future risk of breast cancer made headlines around the world and the blogosphere lit up with overwhelmingly positive reactions. But while it isn't every day that an A-lister discloses such a private matter to the world in such candid, public fashion, Jolie is certainly not the first celebrity to have taken to use a news outlet's opinion section to get a message across.

“SNL” Needs to Take Kate McKinnon Off the Bench
14 May 2013 11:47 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Only on Saturday Night Live would it be beside the point that Kate McKinnon is the show’s first openly gay woman. Since her debut just over a year ago, she has single-handedly revived the perennial show’s long lineage of searing, spot-on impersonations that rival those of Darryl Hammond, Gilda Radner and Martin Short. Her versions of Shakira, Penelope Cruz, Jodie Foster and Edie Falco don’t just come close; like any good caricature, they actually redefine the way you see the original person.
And yet, McKinnon is used so sparingly it begs putting the question to Lorne Michaels: What the hell are you waiting for? Her talent is bigger and brighter than some of your full-time cast members. She’s your ticket out of the malaise that has beset Season No. 38.
McKinnon’s “I’m Ellen” take on Ellen DeGeneres has earned not only kudos – Vulture called »

14 May 2013 9:01 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Jennifer Lawrence has expressed her respect for Jodie Foster.
Foster previously directed the Oscar-winning actress in The Beaver. Lawrence told Total Film how working with her has been encouraging.
"What I like about working with an actress as a director is that she's not afraid of actors," the 22-year-old said.
"People tip-toe around actors like they are emotional land mines, which is probably right, but I find that annoying because I want someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong.
"She was very blunt. She would just be like, 'Talk louder. Do this'. I like that a lot."
The 2011 film also starred Mel Gibson as Foster's on-screen husband, while Lawrence played the secret love interest of their son.
Since the movie, Foster has praised Lawrence on her choice of roles.

Chloe Moretz to Join Denzel Washington in The Equalizer
12 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Kick-Ass star Chloe Moretz will most likely end up starring alongside Denzel Washington in the Antoine Fuqua-directed film The Equalizer. According to the report, Sony Pictures said Moretz has a strong reading with Washington, and they are going to offer her the part of the lead female role, Teri.
The studio was originally looking to cast a twenty-something year old in the role. Moretz, who is still a teenager, must have just blew them all away because they made an exception. They redrew the role, and she will play a young prostitute in the movie, which the report says is "reminiscent of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver." Moretz is a great young actress that is really taking on some edgy movie roles. I'm sure she's going to be great in the part.
The story centers on Robert McCall, a former spy turned private detective. For those of you not »

Deadline reports that Chloë Moretz is being offered the female lead in The Equalizer.
Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Olympus Has Fallen) will direct the film adaptation of the 1980′s television show about an ex-cia operative-turned-ethical-private-detective.

Deadline writes:
“Moretz is a surprise choice to play the role of Teri, in that the role was originally drawn for a twentysomething. After Moretz did a chemistry reading with Washington, he was very impressed as was everybody else, and the role will be redrawn for Moretz to play a young prostitute, reminiscent of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver.”
The original “Equalizer” was Edward Woodward. Watch the intro for the original TV show here.

Chloe Grace Moretz Will Star In The Equalizer

In what is absolutely the coolest news you’re going to get all week, Chloe Grace Moretz is going to be in the upcoming TV refire, The Equalizer. Of course, this is a film that has been tossed around for quite a while, and I’m not sure that making it into a movie even makes the slightest bit of sense, but I’m looking forward to it now.
Having been a fan of the show when it aired, I’m not sure I really get Denzel Washington either, but whatever.
What do you think of this one? Is this going to be good? I’m not even going to ask what you think of the addition of Chloe Grace Moretz, because what you think is that it’s awesome.
Chloe Grace Moretz, soon to be seen in Kick-ass 2 and Kimberly Peirce’s Carrie remake, will portray the helpless character of the main plot. »
