Jennifer & Kristen Battle for Huge Role
16 hours ago | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
They're two of the biggest stars in young Hollywood, not to mention the female faces of two of the most successful franchises in recent memory, so it's no surprise that the media constantly inundates us with made-up stories of Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart catfights.
But this time their battle is actually legit -- only it's more of a competitive one, rather than of the personal kind.
Pics: Kristen and Jennifer's Chain-Linked Buns
Jennifer and Kristen are both admittedly desperate for a role in director Scott Cooper's upcoming film Lie Down in Darkness, based on the 1951 novel by William Styron, in which they would play Peyton Loftis -- a spoiled, beautiful, all-around messed-up girl with some serious daddy issues.
In other words, a game-changing role that would cement them as Serious Actresses (and possible Oscar contenders) as opposed to just franchise faces. And both women are making their campaign for the role a very public one.[p »
Meet Priscilla Chan: Mark Zuckerberg's wife isn't just arm candy
20 May 2012 9:16 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Days after the $16 billion Facebook Ipo, infamous founder Mark Zuckerberg wed his longtime love Priscilla Chan, officially updating his Facebook status to "Married" -- of course. Unlike Zuck, Chan has never been much of a public figure. In fact, Aaron Sorkin left her entirely out of his now iconic film "The Social Network."
In the movie, the Zuckerberg character created Facebook after being dumped by a date, played by Rooney Mara, who he remained hung up on throughout the rise of the website (and the demise of some key friendships). In real life, however, Zuckerberg and Chan were dating before Facebook was created. She's even mentioned, briefly, in the school newspaper article that announced his intention to drop out.
Forbes calls Chan a "new brand of billionaire's bride" because she's neither arm candy nor a "kept woman." In fact, the couple planned their wedding around her graduation from Ucsf School of Medicine. »

BBC Films Announce "Golden," "Testament"

BBC Films revealed its upcoming slate at Cannes yesterday and revealed information on two new projects according to Yahoo.
The first is that Simon Curtis ("My Week With Marilyn") is set to direct the art-world drama "The Golden Lady" which David M. Thompson will produce.
Penned by playwright Alexi Kaye Campbell, the true story follows Maria Altmann who fought to reclaim several Gustav Klimt paintings, including a family member's portrait, which were stolen from her family by the Nazis in World War II.
The other is that Saoirse Ronan is attached to star in an adaptation of Vera Brittain's 1933 memoir "Testament of Youth".
The story deals with how the first world war affected the women of the U.K. along with Brittain's years as a nurse and journalist. Juliette Towhidi ("Calendar Girls") adapted the script while David Heyman ("Harry Potter") is producing.
The pair join a line-up that includes »

On The Rise 2012: 10 Directors Who Look To Be Bright Sparks Of The Future
15 May 2012 11:33 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Like it or not, filmmaking is undeniably a director's medium. It wasn't always like that, of course: it was only the coming of the auteur theory in the 1950s and 1960s that popularized the idea of the director as the person responsible for all that was great and terrible about a picture. And while anyone who's worked in film knows that it's a collaborative medium, there's still no better way of seeing where the form might be going in the next few years than by looking at the directors who've been making splashes of late.
So, hot on the heels of our On The Rise pieces focusing on actors, actresses and screenwriters, we've picked out ten directors who've arrived in a big way in the last year or so, and look set for even greater things in the near future. Any tips of your own? Let us know in the comments section below. »

Title Revealed For Terrence Malick’s Next Film With Ben Affleck & Rachel McAdams
15 May 2012 5:38 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
While he’s set to shoot two films back-to-back this summer and fall, Terrence Malick also has another film in the can and after going through some possible titles, including The Burial, it looks like the romantic drama has finally got it’s official name. The official Classifications & Rating Administration has revealed the name to be To the Wonder and it’s rating of R for “some sexuality/nudity.”
While we have no details on what that title actually refers to, this classification is a promising one, as it usually means the film is in its final stages of completion. It does state a 2012 release, but those are normally just thrown in there as a guess. Hopefully we’ll hear more when it likely hits the Cannes marketplace for buyers. Check out a synopsis of the film which stars Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz, Barry Pepper, »

Mila Kunis and Kristen Stewart to Present at 2012 MTV Movie Awards
11 May 2012 8:53 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »

Top 20: Actresses under 30
11 May 2012 1:40 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
LOVEFiLM have released their annual list of the very best young female talent in film, based on a combination of critical acclaim and box office success.
Despite being one of the youngest entrants on the list, a star turn in this year’s Twilight sized smash The Hunger Games plus her forthcoming role in Serena (alongside the delectable Bradley Cooper), have helped Lawrence keep some of Hollywood’s finest at bay. What’s more, with rumours circulating that Lawrence is in talks to appear in an adaption of best-selling memoir The Glass Castle and sequels to X Men: First Class and The Hunger Games just around the corner, we think the best is yet to come from our favourite tribute. There’s no change in second place either, with Anne Hathaway (29), star of The Devil Wears Prada and Love And Other Drugs maintaining the runners-up spot. With a mixed bag »

Anna Chesters on Bobbi Brown's latest collection, the Summer Darks trend and an eye-poppingly expensive eye treatment
On trend
Summer makeup doesn't have to be all about being buffed, bronzed and highlighted. A contrasting trend for this year is what those in the know are calling Summer Darks. With this rain it might be more appropriate to call it Dark Summer but the sentiment remains the same. Plenty of dark eyeliner is fine, just go for a long-lasting one that won't budge in case it does get hot – Estée Lauder's Double Wear pencil is great (£16, esteelauder.co.uk). But if you want to be really on trend it's all about the lips. As spotted on Lana Del Rey, Kate Bosworth, Rooney Mara and others at the recent Met Ball, go vampy but keep eyes light. For nervous beginners, try applying a matt colour, like the new Nars Pure Matte Lipstick in Moscow (£18.50, narscosmetics. »

Ryan Murphy & His Leading Ladies Recreate Scenes From 'Repulsion,' 'Carrie,' 'The Birds' & Other Horror Classics
9 May 2012 7:24 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Magazines doing photo spreads recreating scenes from iconic movies is nothing new. Vanity Fair seems to do it a couple times a year, and it was at the tail end of 2011 when the New York Times Magazine got in on the act enlisting a wealth of stars for a big awards season shoot that included, among others, Rooney Mara dressing up as Alex from "A Clockwork Orange." Now, "Glee" and "American Horror Story" creator Ryan Murphy is joining in, recruiting the leading ladies from his TV projects to participate in a horror-themed shoot for Elle.
And the results? Well, it's not bad. Kate Mara easily makes the grade, standing in for Sissy Spacek in "Carrie" and making the case that she might be a good choice for the remake if Chloe Moretz were to suddenly drop out. Jayma Mays isn't too shabby as Tippi Hedren in the nicely replicated scene from "The Birds, »

Kristen Stewart went high fashion as she stepped on the red carpet of the 2012 Met Ball held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 7. Making her grand entrance as one of the most anticipated arrivals, the "Twilight Saga" beauty stole the spotlight with her stylish look.
The rumored girlfriend of Robert Pattinson brought color to the red carpet by donning a Balenciaga dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere. She finished off her fashionable look with a pair of black heels with white stripes details on the front.
Another "Twilight Saga" star who drew attention during her arrival was Ashley Greene. Unlike Kristen who opted for a daring outfit, Ashley oozed her inner goddess in a Donna Karan Atelier white grecian gown. The brunette beauty didn't wear too many accessories and chose to finish off her glamorous look with a simple clutch bag.
