The HeyUGuys UK DVD/Blu-Ray Release Round-Up – 28th May
46 minutes ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Last week saw the release of Alexander Payne’s Oscar-winning The Descendants and Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, and this week brings to our shelves the other big winner at the Academy Awards three months ago, Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist, alongside (as ever) a slew of other brilliant films.
In tandem with the Universal 100th Anniversary Editions that have already started rolling out, Play begin releasing their exclusive Blu-ray Steelbooks of some of the films this week, and if you’re a fan of Universal’s recent and classic catalogue, you’ll definitely want to invest in more than a few of these, priced at a very reasonable £9.99. There’ll be more of these in the weeks and months to come, as well as non-100th Anniversary Steelbook re-releases, so keep your eyes peeled.
My personal picks of the week:

Malin Akerman Has a Heart of Glass For 'Cbgb'
25 May 2012 3:51 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Malin Akerman is ready to go Atomic.
The "Watchmen" beauty is set to show off her singing voice once again as she signs on to play Blondie frontwoman Deborah Harry in "Cgbg," according to Variety.
Blondie was founded in 1974 by Harry and guitarist Chris Stein and is considered a pioneer in the American New Wave and punk scenes that started explode in the mid-'70s. However, Blondie went on to become Top 40 hitmakers after the release of their album "Parallel Lines" (1978), which featured such hit singles as "Heart of Glass," "Hanging on the Telephone," "Sunday Girl" and "One Way or Another."
Blondie were regulars at such New York venues as Max's Kansas City and, of course, Cbgb. "Cbgb" chronicles the rise of this now-defunct hotspot, which was founded by club owner Hilly Kristal (to be played by Alan Rickman in the film). Akerman joins a cast that includes Rupert Grint »

Malin Akerman Pipes Up As Blondie for ‘Cbgb’; Ahna O’Reilly Joins Ashton Kutcher-Led ‘Jobs’
25 May 2012 3:19 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Her shot at playing Linda Lovelace probably didn’t go as planned, so it’s time for Malin Akerman to take on a classier figure — if Blondie can be considered “classy” in the first place. ShowBlitz has learned that the actress will be seen as the ’80s icon for Cbgb, an account of the infamous New York City rock club and its owner, Hilly Kristal, who Alan Rickman will inhabit; his Harry Potter co-star, Rupert Grint, is expected to play Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome.
Past reports have indicated that these three will be the central figures of Cbgb, and when one looks over the club’s history — in terms of performers, events, and societal significance — you get some idea of the scope director Randall Miller (Bottle Shock, Nobel Son) will be aiming for. His own, prior credits give me a bit of pause, even if Rickman likes him, but »

Malin Akerman To Play Debbie Harry In Cbgb
25 May 2012 2:58 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
With Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's Lovelace all the way through production with Amanda Seyfried playing the titular porn starlet, it's looking less and less likely that Malin Akerman will get to play the same part in Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story, which is still stuck in pre-production (albeit with a fantastic cast that includes Matt Dolon, Harold Perrineau, Adam Goldberg, Paz de la Huerta and Sasha Grey). While we may never get to see Akerman play Lovelace, however, that doesn't mean we will never get to see her play a bombshell from a bygone era. Variety is reporting that the actress has been cast to play Debbie Harry in the film Cbgb, a biopic, if you will, about the famous New York venue during the 1970s. The project recently hired Alan Rickman to star as Hilly Kristal, the owner of Cbgb and Rupert Grint is set to play »
Malin Akerman To Play Blondie Singer Debbie Harry In 'CBGB'
25 May 2012 2:12 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It seems Malin Akerman is impressing all the right people with her pipes. The actress will be showing the world her take on Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is" in the upcoming "Rock Of Ages," and she's graduating from that '80s neon-colored musical to something a bit grimier, but no less musical.
Akerman is set to take on music legend, style icon and all around badass Debbie Harry in "CBGB." Before Blondie blew up on the charts, they could be found haunting New York City's famed punk clubs Max's Kansas City and, yes, Cbgb. Akerman joins a cast as eclectic as the patrons of the famed music venue, with Alan Rickman playing the club's owner Hilly Kristal, and Rupert Grint (of all people) as Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome. We're really curious to see who's gonna play David Byrne....
Anyway, we wonder how the music rights -- »

Maxim Hot 100 list: Bar Refaeli, Amanda Knox, and...Stephen Colbert?
22 May 2012 10:40 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Supermodel Bar Refaeli is the hottest woman alive. It’s science. Actually, more reliable than science: It’s a popular vote of Maxim’s readers. The 26-year-old former girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model was named the men’s magazine’s hottest pin-up, displacing last year’s trophy, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (who dropped to 11th this year). Click below for the rest of this year’s Top 10, and some commentary on other notables, including the hottest cartoon mom, the hottest athlete, and the hottest late-night TV host.
1. Bar Refaeli (last year: 6)
2. Olivia Munn (2)
3. Mila Kunis (5)

Bar Refaeli Is #1 On Maxim‘s 2012 Hot 100 List: Here Are 30 Reasons Why
22 May 2012 8:59 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Model Bar Refaeli has earned the top spot on Maxim’s Hot 100 list for 2012, the first list in which readers’ votes helped determine the list. Though the Israeli beauty is a mainstay on the list, the top spot usually goes to ladies with a much higher profile in music or film — pop stars like Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera, actresses like Olivia Wilde, and cross-over model-actresses like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who was last year’s #1. (Model Marissa Miller was the one previous exception.) The 27-year-old has dipped her toe in the acting pool, appearing in the psychological thriller Session last year, and according to USA Today, she’s filming a dark comedy that’s in Hebrew and French.
The rest of the top 10 are hardly surprising: Olivia Munn, Mila Kunis, Katy Perry, Olivia Wilde, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Megan Fox, Malin Akerman and Adrianne Palicki. But perhaps most notable on the list, »
