Anna Kendrick: 'It's all about that fatal flaw'

24 May 2012 4:07 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

From ruthless debate-team captain to corporate axe-wielder, Anna Kendrick tells how strident character choices allow her to live out a personal fantasy of assertiveness

It's a shock to find Anna Kendrick curled up in a bathrobe when I enter her hotel suite. On closer inspection, though, the 26-year-old turns out to be beneath the robe, rather than inside it. "I do have clothes on under here," she squeaks. "It's just so cold." She is perky, with subtly Manga-esque features – wide-open eyes and a tiny, expressive mouth – but she hasn't had the most relaxing morning. Whisked to Salford at bleary o'clock to appear on breakfast TV, she got stuck in traffic on the way back to London and hasn't eaten all day, hence the pizza that she begins nibbling on while we talk.

Not that Kendrick would bemoan her lot. "I'm the person who wouldn't send back my food even if »

'I Didn't Punch Anyone!'

24 May 2012 2:39 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

With all of One Direction's achievements -- a No. 1 album, the coveted chance to perform on "Saturday Night Live" and the unbridled adoration of young females on both sides of the pond-- come the inevitable pitfalls of fame. The beloved British boy band's recent woes have included legal troubles over their name, a Chlamydia scare involving a Koala and pesky rumors started by haters on Twitter.

Just this week, one of said haters claimed that member Harry Styles punched a paparazzo in the face following the band's appearance at the "Men in Black 3" premiere in New York. But Styles tells J-14 that the rumors are simply not true. "I definitely didn't punch anyone!" he assured the magazine.

The 18-year-old heartthrob offered high praise for the flick. "It was a good film," was his succinct assessment. He also tweeted:

Had a lot of fun at the MIB3 premier tonight. »

When Did David Letterman Become Such A Liberal Partisan?

24 May 2012 12:22 PM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »

It's a common gripe that cable news has become overtly partisan, with MSNBC on the left and Fox News on the right. But despite the occasional allegations that late-night television can also be politicized, generally the hosts seem to try to attack absurdity in a relatively bipartisan fashion. But the new "King of Late Night" David Letterman may be a different animal altogether. As of late, it sure seems like Letterman isn't just left-of-center, but overtly and proudly liberal. »

Will Smith Kiss Reporter Apologises

24 May 2012 1:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

The man who attempted to kiss Will Smith at the Moscow premiere of Men In Black III has apologised to the actor.

The Hollywood star lost his cool when a male journalist tried to land a smooch on his lips before the screening in Russia last week, and he shoved the man away with a light back-handed slap across the face.

The Ukrainian reporter, named as Vitalii Sediuk, has now apologised for his behaviour.

He tells HipHollywood.com, "I'm sorry, Will. It was a splash of emotion. I do apologise for my behaviour. I think it was too much. Will Smith is a person who I deeply respect as an actor. When I met him in Moscow, I wanted to do something to impress him. We have a Slavic tradition. I don't kiss every man or woman when I see them in the street, but that time I decided to do that. Next time, if I meet him, I'll just shake his hand."

Smith told U.S. TV host David Letterman on Tuesday that he wasn't pleased by the ambush: "We're doing an interview and he says, ‘I’m you’re biggest fan, can I have a hug?’ So I go to give this joker a hug, and he tries to lean in and kiss me! It's just awkward. They were saying, 'We're sorry, that's just his schtick'. Well that’s why his a** got schtuck." »

"I said, 'Well, that's why his a- got shtuck.'"

Conan, Back On Top, Has 'Nothing To Say' To Jay Leno

23 May 2012 3:51 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

In The Hollywood Reporter's cover story on Conan O'Brien, the TBS host admitted that he would rather move forward in life rather than look back at the 2010 "Tonight Show" controversy. And part of that is coming to terms with the fact that any energy spent thinking about Jay Leno is a waste.

"The odds are we will both leave this Earth without speaking to each other, which is fine," O'Brien tells THR. "There's really nothing to say. We both know the deal. He knows; I know. I'd rather just forget."

Of course, he does take some small amount of glee in the fact that nearly every NBC executive involved with the blunder have since exited the company. "It helps that almost everybody involved in the craziness has been relieved of their jobs," he said.

When O'Brien left NBC, part of his exit agreement included a non-disparagement clause. Since such a »

Will Smith: I Didn’t Hit The Reporter — Do You Agree?

23 May 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

By now you've probably seen the scary video of Will Smith attacking a Ukranian reporter, but the 'Mib' star continues to deny it! Do you think his punch was as violent as it looked? Will Smith was trending on Google last week after a video of him punching a reporter went viral. But Will responded on the Late Show with David Letterman on May 22 by aloofly laughing it off. "I didn't beat up a guy," Will told David Letterman. "I was in Moscow, We're doing an interview and he says 'man' you know, like, he's a reporter, he's like 'I'm your biggest fan, can I have a hug?' so I go to give him a hug and he like tries to lean in and like kiss me...It's just awkward, Dave." Yes, and it was also scary for all of us to watch. I think Will should »

TVLine Items: Homeland Spies Tim Guinee, Regis Q&As Letterman, Pan Am Revival Talk and More!

23 May 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

Tim Guinee, who as of late has recurred on The Good Wife, has booked a role on Showtime’s Homeland, TVLine has confirmed.

Details on Guinee’s character, as well as his episode count, thus far are filed as “top secret,” though we’ll remind you that the show was looking to cast Brody’s chief of staff, so perhaps they don’t want to broadcast that the war vet’s run for Congress is a success.

Jimmy Kimmel Re-Imagines Mitt Romney’s ‘Day One’ Ad With Ties, Tractors And ‘Black Friend’

23 May 2012 7:23 AM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »

Last week, Mitt Romney released his first election ad titled "Day One," in which the narrator describes what the first day of a Romney presidency would look like over a video of positive, patriotic images. As we reported, David Letterman mocked the ad by creating his own "Day Two" ad. On his ABC late-night program Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel followed suit, giving the original Romney ad a more literal twist. »

Last Night on Late Night: Anderson Cooper Addressed His Giggle Attacks, Then Giggled Some More

23 May 2012 2:43 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Last night, late night was comedic gold. Anderson Cooper addressed his two giggle attacks — "I'm so stupid for giggling like a 12-year-old girl meeting Justin Bieber for the first time" — and then proceeded to giggle during an absurd game of Russian roulette roshambo with Jimmy Fallon. You just didn't know if pie would get hurled in the loser's face. Plus: Tracy Morgan was belly-achingly cheeky. He confessed to a threesome with O.J. Simpson that resulted in the birth of Khloe Kardashian; flaunted the swashbuckling moves that prove he's related to Clark Gable; then suggested a teardrop tattoo for President Obama for being such a badass. Also, Will Smith attempted to teach David Letterman how to dance, and after (unsurprisingly) failing, broke out the striped green socks that matched Letterman's tie, and called out the talk show host for having slept through his movie five years ago.

'Glee' star Lea Michele talks 14 tattoos -- and why she might not get any more

22 May 2012 9:48 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

You won't see them on Lea Michele's "Glee" character Rachel Berry, but Michele herself has some serious ink under those cardigans and knee socks. Visiting David Letterman to promote Tuesday's "Glee" Season 3 finale, Lea revealed her secret tattoo addiction.

She's got fourteen different ones, including musical notes, a cross, writing on her rib, a gold star for her character, a bird, a butterfly, the word "Imagine" to match her co-stars Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale, lyrics from a "Spring Awakening" song -- and many more.

Lea explains that she often gets tattoos with her family. "I come from a very big Italian family, and tattoos are very popular," she says. "We'll be like, 'Let's all get tattoos.' Then we get super sentimental, and then the next day I wake up with, like, another butterfly on my foot. And I'm like, it seemed more important in the moment."
