Cameron Diaz Gave Drew Barrymore's Partner Her Blessing To Propose
29 May 2012 1:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Cameron Diaz knew about best friend Drew Barrymore's engagement before the bride-to-be herself because Will Kopelman sought the The Mask's star permission before proposing.
Art consultant Kopelman popped the question to Barrymore during a winter break in Sun Valley, Idaho, and the pair is rumoured to be exchanging vows on Saturday.
Diaz fully approves of her pal's partner and even gave Kopelman her blessing to make Barrymore his wife.
She tells InStyle magazine, "I knew Drew was getting married before she did."
Barrymore's previous two marriages to bar owner Jeremy Thomas in 1994 and comedian Tom Green in 2001 were short-lived - both lasted less than five months. »
Threequel - Actors in Their Film Debut Supercut
25 May 2012 5:14 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's the third supercut from Flavorwire that showcases actors in their film debuts. Some are just small bit parts, some feature the actors baby faced, and some are just flat out embarrassing! The best though are the opening and almost closing portions of the supercut, featuring Tom Cruise in some crazy cut off shorts and an insanely high voice; and Cameron Diaz back when she was sssssssmokin' hot in The Mask. She was unreal in that movie... what happened???
If you missed the first two supercuts I've embedded those below as well. What's your favorite film that starred an actor in their film debut?

Cameron Diaz: 'I Have A Better Body Than When I Was 20'
11 May 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Cameron Diaz has urged her fans to look after their health, insisting exercise has helped her age gracefully.
The Mask beauty changed her lifestyle several years ago and began working out and watching what she ate.
And as she fast approaches her 40th birthday, she's adamant her fitness kick has given her a better body than when she was 20 years old.
She tells Access Hollywood, "My a** is definitely higher than it was when I was 20. This is the thing that people don't understand - take care of your body (and it will) get better! It gets better as I get older.
"Look, the alternative to getting older is dead, so... I feel very fortunate to have a very full, loving, blessed life, so, I'm living it to the fullest." »

Cameron Diaz's Family Dreams Were 'Shattered' By Successful Career
8 May 2012 1:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Cameron Diaz refuses to put a "timeline" on her life after her plans for marriage and motherhood in her twenties were "shattered" when her career took off.
The actress took up modelling as a teenager before making the move into films, and landed her breakout role in The Mask at the age of 21.
Diaz has dominated headlines over the years for her high-profile romances with stars including Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake, but the actress is in no rush to settle down despite her early dreams of family domesticity.
She tells Redbook magazine, "I thought I was going to be married and have two children by the time I was 21. I think I felt I had to model my life after my mother's.
"But then my career was starting to take off and there were still so many things I wanted to do. So that dream for me was shattered early on. After that I never put another timeline on anything in my life.
"I'm sure a lot of people would expect that I would have had a child by my age. But it's not what I've wanted out of my life thus far. There's a box people put themselves in, and when you (live) outside of it, that makes them uncomfortable - they have to look at themselves and question their own choices." »
Michael Davis: The Greatest Story Never Told, Conclusion
24 April 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Please read the past three week’s installments before reading this. Thanks!
What has gone before, quick and dirty recap… I’d sold (in my opinion) the second greatest idea in the history of comics to one of the greatest publishers (DC Comics) in the business. It was to be written by one of the greatest writers (Dwayne McDuffie) with art by a guy (me) who was going to make sure this time he got it right. The editor assigned to it wanted me off the project I created. Dwayne told the editor he would not do the project without me.
I told the editor to kiss my ass (at a bar during the San Diego Comic Con some years after all this went down and after Jenette Kahn had left DC). See previous installments as to why I didn’t tell him to kiss my ass while Jenette was there. »

Cameron Diaz Considering Adoption?
18 April 2012 8:14 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
Cameron Diaz wants to adopt children. The 39-year-old actress - who has previously dated Justin Timberlake and Alex Rodriguez - claims she does not want to live her life how society thinks she should and may one day extend her family without getting pregnant. She told InStyle magazine: "Society definitely puts pressure on women to make them think their lives should go a certain way. "I've never said I don't want children - I just haven't had children yet. I don't know what's going to happen in my life! I could end up adopting children. I could end up with a partner who already has children. Who knows? I'm not trying to fit into anyone's box about how I should be. I just fit in my own box." Cameron, who rose to fame in early 90s movie 'The Mask', is often surprised by the kind of men she »

The 25 Most Essential '90s Movies
5 April 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
There's a reason you've recently had the urge to bust out your plaid shirts, Celine Dion albums and dial-up modems, as this week sees the release of two relics of the 1990s: "Titanic 3D" and "American Reunion."
Since both of these movies make us think back to a more innocent time when Monica Lewinsky was an eager young White House intern, our money wasn't on fire and Twittering was a weird body tic, we're reminiscing about that decade's most influential and essential cinematic treasures for future generations. It wasn't easy to narrow down the list (next time, "Problem Child 2," next time ...) but if we were to preserve only 25 flicks from the '90s in a time capsule, they would be these (listed in alphabetical order).

Dumb And Dumber 2 Shooting September!
2 April 2012 9:21 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Almost 18 years after Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne made us burst into tears of laughter, both Jim Carrey and Jaff Daniels will be back in the sequel that will start production in September. We knew late last year, that both actors would reprise their roles from the 1994 smash hit, but this is the first news of any confirmation on the project since.
Bobby and Peter Farelly will be back to helm the follow-up, which will hopefully wipe any memory of the dreadful prequel from 2003. Here is what Peter Farrelly had to say while promoting their upcoming The Three Stooges reboot:-
We’re getting set to shoot ‘Dumb and Dumber 2′ in September.It’s the first sequel we’ve ever done and we’ve got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back.
We did not do ‘Dumb and Dumberer.That was a studio thing. So we’ve always wanted to do a »

Discuss: Who, If Any, Of The Current Crop Of Leading Ladies Are Reliable Box-Office Draws?
23 March 2012 12:27 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
At the start of the week, we examined the state of the A-list leading man, and why, outside of those who've been big draws for years -- Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Johnny Depp et al. -- so few stars seemed to be reliable at bringing audiences to their pictures. But when you look at the leading ladies, things are even more puzzling.
Put simply, the number of actreses who can be deemed consistent box office draws seems to diminish, rather than grow, as each year goes on. In part, it's because it's so rare for the major blockbusters to be lead by a woman: of the top 20 worldwide grossers last year, only "Twilight" could arguably be said to be led by a woman, and holding up those films as a victory for womankind would be an error, given their prehistoric sexual politics. 2010 was a little better, thanks to "Black Swan" and "Alice in Wonderland, »

Laura Prudom: 'American Idol' Recap: Highlights From Night 1 Of Hollywood Week
8 February 2012 11:00 PM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
At last, after wandering for weeks in the desolate wasteland known as "American Idol's" audition rounds, we have emerged into the deafening, hyperbole-ridden circus known as "Hollywood Week." This is not actually an improvement, because it seems as though we're actually hearing less singing now than we did in previous installments, which makes it somewhat difficult to judge the singers. Since we're lucky to hear 20 seconds of actual vocal demonstration from any of the hopefuls, my previous method of choosing the episode's five most memorable moments has been rendered obsolete. Thus, I'll be doing a straight rundown of the episode's highlights during this section of the competition.
In this week's episodes, we'll see 309 golden ticket holders summarily whittled down to a more manageable number, before the contestants are shoehorned into groups for next week's mass slaughter further elimination process. There will be tears, there will be tantrums, and there »

Happy 50th Jim Carrey!
17 January 2012 10:20 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
A very happy ½ century mark to Jim Carrey! He seems to have given up on chasing Oscar and returned to the generally more lucrative world of high concept multiplex comedy. We kind of miss his dramedic self.
Favorite Carrey performances off the top of my head.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) The Truman Show (1998)
...and yes, I'd have nominated him for both of those. Man on the Moon (1999)
...one of those rare cases where Oscar got really stingy about loving biopic mimicry. Doing Time on Maple Drive (1992) Batman Forever (1995) I Love You Phillip Morris (2010) The Mask (1994) Bruce Almighty (2003) Liar Liar (1997) Lemony Snicket A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
It's true. I never saw the comedic blockbusters involving his talking ass or doubled idiocy.
Yours?
The first time I ever saw him was on the shortlived sitcom "The Duck Factory" which I watched as a kid because I wanted to be »

Happy Birthday, Jim Carrey!
17 January 2012 4:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Hollywood funnyman Jim Carrey will be flashing his famously wide grin on Tuesday - the star is turning the big 5-0.
The rubber-faced actor catapulted to fame in the mid-1990s, starring in hits Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb & Dumber.
Growing up in Ontario, Canada Carrey started off as a struggling actor and comedian, appearing on stage performing sketches and enjoying small movie roles.
He became known worldwide for his impersonations and cemented his place in Hollywood by starring in hit films including The Truman Show, Cable Guy, Me, Myself & Irene, and Bruce Almighty, and also famously played the Riddler in Batman Forever.
Overcoming a battle with depression, the funnyman has lightened up movie screens with his wit and improvisational skills - and to celebrate his big milestone, WENN has compiled 10 fascinating facts about the star. Happy birthday, Jim!
- Carrey's character in 1998's The Truman Show has spawned the name of a psychological disorder - patients diagnosed with the condition 'Truman Syndrome' believe their lives are being broadcast on worldwide TV.
- The funnyman has been a vegetarian for most of his life.
- He tried to make his castmates on 2007 film The Number 23 laugh by urinating on the movie set - but his co-stars weren't amused.
- In France he is referred to as the son of legendary comic actor Jerry Lewis.
- When he was a struggling actor Carrey wrote himself a motivational cheque for $10 million (£6.3 million) and post-dated it for Thanksgiving Day, 1995. And his superstitious move worked - he was offered $10 million (£6.3 million) to play the lead in The Mask three days before his dad's death in 1994. He put the original cheque in his father's pocked before he was buried.
- Carrey has endured a turbulent love life - he has been married twice, with his second union to his Dumb and Dumber co-star Lauren Holly lasting less than a year. He has also dated Renee Zellweger and Jenny McCarthy, who he split from in 2010 after five years together.
- Carrey failed an audition to star on U.S. comedy show Saturday Night Live after he was left shaken when he saw an NBC employee trying to jump off the roof of a building shortly before the casting.
- To calm him down at school, teachers would allow the hyperactive youngster a 10-minute session at the end of each day to perform in front of his classmates.
- On top of acting he has other talents - he's also a sculptor, painter, amateur singer and songwriter - and he once penned a track for acoustic duo Tuck & Patti.
- Carrey has dual citizenship - in 2004 he was granted an American passport, while he remains a citizen of his native Canada. »
Jim Carrey returning for Bruce Almighty 2?
10 January 2012 5:57 AM, PST | Filmonic.com | See recent Filmonic news »
Jim Carrey has a history of avoiding sequels, which is why follow-ups to The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and Bruce Almighty have moved forward without him (although Carrey did return for Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in 1994). It’s fair to say Jim Carrey has had a hard time finding the right movie over recent years. [...]

Universal Looking to Resurrect Bruce Almighty with a Sequel
9 January 2012 4:01 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
While it didn’t exactly break new territory or impress many critics, Bruce Almighty proved to be a commercial hit with its simple premise and charming allure, raking in an estimated $484M worldwide and spawning a less-than-desirable spin-off that’s better left unmentioned.
It’s no surprise, then, to hear that Universal are looking to capitalise on its success with a long-awaited sequel.
According to the ever-reliable folks over at Variety, feelers have been sent out to screenwriting duo Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel (Hot Tub Time Machine) in the hopes they’ll dream up a story worthy of telling.
Directed by Tom Shadyac, Bruce Almighty starred Jim Carrey (The Mask) as a guy who, after becoming disillusioned by the forces at will, is awarded the powers of God to teach him just how difficult it is to be ruler of all things. Jennifer Aniston (The Break-Up), Morgan Freeman (Red »
