'Twilight' dominates Teen Choice Awards nominations

20 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The sun has set (or risen?) on Summit Entertainment’s venerable vampire series — but even though it, like Robsten, is officially kaput, Twilight still holds a hypnotic power over people of a certain age. (That age is “young.”)

The last installment of the blood-sucking saga dominates the “first wave” of nominees at this year’s Teen Choice Awards, which single out the movies, TV series, music, fashion, comedians, athletes, and performers that resonate most with today’s 13- through 19-year-olds. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 snagged seven nods, nine if you include star Taylor Lautner’s individual nominations for »

Last Lap: Don’t Expect Gwyneth Paltrow At Next Year’s Met Gala

9 May 2013 3:43 PM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

Penn Badgley opens up about life after Blake Lively, Kate Moss bares all, and fans meet Leonardo DiCaprio’s younger counterpart in The Great Gatsby.

Despite the dazzling fashion and glamour, Gwyneth Paltrow is so over the Met Gala. She complained that this year’s star-studded affair was too hot and too crowded. Well, if she’s forfeiting future invitations, there are quite a few (thousand) people who’d gladly go in her place. [USA Today] Gossip Girl co-stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley remained professional on set after their breakup, but Badgley implies there was an underlying unease following their three-year romance. He also admits that he didn’t send Lively a wedding gift when she married Ryan Reynolds last year. [E!] Model Kate Moss sports a St. Tropez tan – and nothing else – in a new ad for the self-tanning brand. Moss is enthusiastic about her partnership with St. Tropez, saying she »

Penn Badgley Didn't Buy Wedding Present For Blake

9 May 2013 3:02 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Penn Badgley didn't buy Blake Lively a wedding present. The 26-year-old actor dated Blake, 25, for two and a half years while they worked together on 'Gossip Girl' and although they were professional on set following the split, Penn didn't reach out to her when she married Ryan Reynolds last year. He told Elle.com: 'We were ultimately professional [but] no I didn't [buy her a wedding gift].' Penn also called their relationship 'good and bad', explaining: ' I don't know if I can distill it into a sentence, or even articulate it. We were very much caught up in the show, which itself was a six-year endurance test. 'Our relationship was a part of that and helped us through it. »

Penn Badgley Talks Ex Blake Lively, Reveals He Didn't Send Her and Ryan Reynolds a Wedding Gift

9 May 2013 12:07 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Penn Badgley and Blake Lively are just fine these days. The onetime couple broke up in 2010 after dating for three years, and in 2012 Lively wed her Green Lantern leading man, Ryan Reynolds. Badgley, meanwhile, has now found himself a new ladylove in actress and music royalty Zoe Kravitz. Still, the exes couldn't quite escape each other, having costarred on Gossip Girl until the series ended last December—a scenario, Badgley tells Elle magazine, that wasn't as fraught as many might think. "No, we were ultimately professional," the 26-year-old tells the magazine when asked whether it was awkward working with his ex after she had tied the knot. That said, Badgley—who can »

Dan Humphrey and Serena Van Der Woodsen may have found their way back to each another, but the actors who played the Gossip Girl characters didn't. In the May issue of Elle, Penn Badgley opened up about the demise of his relationship with costar Blake Lively, whom he dated off-camera from 2007 to 2010.

Musical Relationships

Greetings from Tim Buckley

A promising young musician visits New York for a week to headline a tribute concert. He bonds with a young woman interning at the performance space, and they run around the city being chatty, artistic, and physically beautiful together. These would be the makings of a light and romantic film, except that the young man portrayed is musician Jeff Buckley in his early twenties and the concert he's been called for honors his father, prolific and renowned musician Tim Buckley, who breezed away from Jeff's mother before Jeff was born and died at age 28 without knowing his first child.

Greetings from Tim Buckley takes place in 1991. Tim Buckley is a beloved figure with a legacy; Jeff has musical gifts and a physical resemblance to his dad, but he has not yet established his own career. Nor does he think highly of his father: to him, Tim Buckley »

Imogen Poots Talks 90s Fashion, Playing The Girlfriend, And The Mysteries Of Terrence Malick

6 May 2013 2:12 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

It's not an easy thing to play the girlfriend. Hollywood history is littered with actresses who have been cast a few times opposite high-profile male co-stars, and who even started making a name for themselves, but were destined to fade after just a few shots at big-screen girlfriend status. Imogen Poots, the 23-year-old British actress you may recognize from 28 Weeks Later or Jane Eyre, is on the rise, and that means-- you guessed it-- a lot of girlfriend parts. But in all of them, which includes the new film Greetings from Tim Buckley, you can see how she's making the most of it and turning these women not just into props for the male leads, but real characters. That's an especially hard job in Tim Buckley, in which Penn Badgley stars as a young Jeff Buckley, performing at a tribute concert for the father he barely knew, years before he »

13 Hollywood Loopers

6 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

The visual effects department had to do a pretty bang-up job to make Joseph Gordon-Levitt look even remotely similar to a young yippee ki-yaying mother-f---er Bruce Willis in Rian Johnson's time-hopping "Looper," but since Hollywood's baddest, baldest ass-kicker was blessed with three daughters and no sons in real life, there wasn't much of a choice. Sure, all that pain and suffering ultimately paid off, but there are some people who've got it way, way easier.

For fellow action hero Will Smith, for example, his prime mini-me is his own son Jaden who doesn't need a stitch of prosthesis to pull it off because, you know, doy. The two star as, surprise surprise, father and son in M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming sci-fi thriller "After Earth," and we swear that the older Fresh Prince Jr. gets, the more of that Big Willie Style he inherits.

Last Lap: Antoine Dodson…Not Gay?

Have Kim Kardashian and Kanye West set a wedding date? Paris Hilton wants a baby bump of her own, and Penn Badgley chats about playing rocker Jeff Buckley.

If the words “Hide ya kids, hide ya wife…” sound familiar, then surely you remember bandana-sporting Antoine Dodson, who rose to YouTube fame after a news report about an intruder in his sister’s bedroom. Apparently, the former internet sensation has “renounced [him]self,” giving up homosexuality and finding religion with the Hebrew Israelites. He’s now seeking a woman to marry and wants to “multiply.” [TMZ] Kim and Kanye reportedly are getting married and have already settled on a date. Kanye is adamant that no media cover the ceremony…because we all remember the last time Kim went that route.

Penn Badgley On Becoming Jeff Buckley And Escaping The Gossip Girl Gilded Cage

3 May 2013 10:59 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

It's a huge challenge for any actor to star in a biopic, especially when it's a movie about a performer, someone whose life and mannerisms are very, very familiar to fans. That job gets even harder when you're doing it in your 20s, and triple-harder when you're still most famous for starring on a soapy teen show about rich kids. That's the challenge Gossip Girl alum Penn Badgley faces this weekend with his starring role in Greetings from Tim Buckley, in which he plays the singer Jeff Buckley in the years before he recorded the landmark album Grace. Jeff is asked to perform at a tribute concert for his father Tim, who died when Jeff was a child and who was distant even before then. Grappling with his own troubled history with his father, as well as his own burgeoning musical ambitions, the Jeff Buckley of this movie is young »

Penn Badgley wants to play Prince

3 May 2013 9:02 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Penn Badgley dreams of playing Prince. The 26-year-old hunk -who played Dan Humphrey in teen drama 'Gossip Girl' for six years - admits his ideal role would be as the 'Purple Rain' hitmaker because he has been his musical idol for as long as he can remember. Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, Penn said: 'Let's put that out there. I'd love to play Prince. I could confidently play his hair.' Penn is no stranger to musical biopics, starring as Jeff Buckley in 'Greetings From Tim Buckley', and he admits he was worried about the 'responsibility' of playing late singer - who died aged 30 in 1997 from accidental drowning - but didn't really care about what people thought of his »

Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley on playing Jeff Buckley, leaving La and his attempt to bring the World Cup to America

Hi! Where are you right now and what are you doing?

I am home in New York, eating oatmeal. It's one of the first beautiful days of the year, so I think I may go to the park. Lay in the sun, on the grass, get some fresh air. That's really all I have planned.

I thought movie stars were too busy to do that sort of thing?

When you're working hard and the hours are long, yeah. You're not sleeping much, you don't have the time or energy for anything else. But when you're not …

You can be a bum?

Exactly. It's a beautiful balance.

Your breakout role was playing Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl for six years, where you became a tabloid fixture (1). What was the best thing about it? »

'Gossip Girl's' Penn Badgley Praised by Critics in 'Greetings From Tim Buckley'

2 May 2013 9:53 AM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »

After making the rounds at film festivals in 2012, "Greetings from Tim Buckley" comes out in a limited theatrical release on Friday. While the film itself is mostly getting panned (director Daniel Algrant did not even get the rights to Buckley's music!) by critics, Penn Badgley's performance as Tim's son, the ultimately more famous Jeff Buckley, has received praise. The "Gossip Girl" actor took on a challenging role that included quite a bit of live singing -- and mimicking a voice like Jeff Buckley's is a tall order for any actor. David Fear, »

Tenner - Favorite Spring Music (and a Movie, too)

2 May 2013 3:22 AM, PDT | www.culturecatch.com | See recent CultureCatch news »

Spring has arrived -- flowers and music in full bloom. Some of it only hints at what might be as summer approaches. Until then, here are few things I'm carting around in my wheelbarrow. Dig it.

"Spiderlegs" Danny Malone: Balloons (Dm)

Happy accident as I had no prior knowledge of Mr. Malone prior to listening to his new album, but no worries. Here's a wonderful folk-rock tune from this Austin-based singer/songwriter's second long-player. He recorded this set of confessional musings in a haunted 15th century castle in Denmark, each song in a different room. He calls his music "sexy, dirty, sad songs about the human condition." This remains my favorite track; and the video below is pretty bloody "sexy" too.

Review: Penn Badgley Is Solid In Otherwise Uneven 'Greetings From Tim Buckley'

1 May 2013 4:04 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

While the film might not be quite as sweet and heady as drinking a glass of lilac wine, Penn Badgley's performance in "Greetings From Tim Buckley" does justice to the late Jeff Buckley, while also revealing that the "Gossip Girl" star has quite a few more talents than he's thus far been given credit for. But his swoop of wild hair and impressive vocal theatrics aside, the rest of the movie around him tells a trio of stories that never quite unite to land the emotional connection they're aiming for.  "You look just like him," Jeff Buckley hears from more than one person as he walks into St. Ann's Church in Brooklyn for rehearsals for the tribute concert being put together for his father Tim. An absentee Dad, who died of an overdose at 28, Jeff never had much of a relationship with Tim, but the shadow looms large. By the time of his death, »
