Julia Roberts And Amy Smart Honoured For Eco Accomplishments
24 May 2012 1:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Julia Roberts and Amy Smart were honoured for their environmental accomplishments at a star-studded gala in Santa Monica, California last week (begs14May12).
Smart and the Pretty Woman star, along with her husband Danny Moder, were feted by fellow eco activists, including actors Peter Fonda and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, at Heal the Bay's annual Bring Back the Beach gala on Friday.
Together the crowd raised funds to help promote awareness about protecting the marine animals of Santa Monica Bay home, and The Butterfly Effect beauty Smart was thrilled to be recognised for her years of hard work.
She tells local publication Los Angeles Confidential, "I'm extremely grateful and honoured. I highly respect and love Heal the Bay; their work is so effective, far-reaching, and impactful on the ocean. Growing up in Topanga Canyon (in California), being in the mountains and surrounded by nature inspired me.
"My parents always loved nature, and that inspired my brother and me. Growing up I was always aware of the environment (through) beach clean-ups, hikes, and bike rides in the canyon. Right out of high school I wanted to get involved and saw Heal the Bay posters around. That was my first venture into environmental work when I was 18." »
Kutcher Gets Punk'd? Aaron Sorkin Will Adapt Rival Jobs Biopic
16 May 2012 7:35 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Craig Dietz doesn't like Ashton Kutcher for the role of the late Steve Jobs in the Apple creator's independent biopic, which I think is a fair criticism. I'm not necessarily a fan of his work either, other than The Butterfly Effect. Now after months of speculation, Jobs' friend Social Network writer Aaron Sorkin will adapt Walter Isaacson's best-selling Jobs biography into a rival movie for Sony, which the studio announced in a press release last night. »

Ashton Kutcher to play Apple founder in Steve Jobs biopic
2 April 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Star of Two and a Half Men is to take the lead role in biopic to be directed by Joshua Michael Stern
Ashton Kutcher has been cast as Steve Jobs in one of two competing biopics about the late founder of Apple, reports Variety.
Kutcher, who bears some resemblance to the young Jobs, has been cast in a version by Swing Vote's Joshua Michael Stern, which will chronicle the entrepreneur's journey from "wayward hippie" to co-founder of the iconic technology firm, "where he became one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of our time".
"I had the idea the day Jobs retired and I notice several It and art directors at my company all in a buzz," producer Mark Hulme of Five Star Insitute told TheWrap. "I was observing that day how distractive his retirement was to the marketplace and I knew in my heart that his story was »

Steve Jobs Biopic Has Ashton Kutcher As The Apple Icon!
2 April 2012 2:05 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The recent sad death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had seen talk of a biopic of his legendary career being rumoured for the big-screen. Well that rumour appeared to be a reality when Sony confirmed they would be financing the project. The Social Network and Moneyball scribe Aaron Sorkin was also rumoured to be on scripting duties on the story that will tell of Jobs’ rise from 1960s hippie to high-tech hero, whose innovations made him a billionaire businessman.
News has come today that, Joshua Michael Stern is also set to write and direct an independent feature film based on Jobs’ life. Ashton Kutcher has also been confirmed as the film’s lead. Stern’s most high profile effort was the likeable 2008 Kevin Costner comic-drama Swing Vote.
Kutcher is more familiar for his comedic work on the likes of That 70s Show, Just Married and more recently replaced Charlie Sheen »

Ashton Kutcher's next movie job will be to play Steve Jobs
2 April 2012 12:20 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Well this is... unexpected, though the resemblance is rather uncanny. Ashton Kutcher has briefly dabbled in the dramatic during the course of his career (The Butterfly Effect and Bobby being all that comes to mind, and that's a stretch), but perhaps an indie film about "Jobs' meteoric rise from Northern California hippie to co-founder of Apple" is the perfect project with which to begin a career shift. If he wants one, that is, since he seems to be doing »

Ashton Kutcher Will Anchor Steve Jobs Indie Biopic
1 April 2012 6:26 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Presumably because a young Steve Jobs looks mildly similar to Ashton Kutcher in this one picture, Kutcher will play Jobs in an upcoming indie biopic. The film, Jobs, begins shooting next month, when Kutcher's Two and a Half Men hiatus begins, Variety reports. (Followed by a Variety reporter's insistent tweet, that no, this isn't an April Fool's gag.) Don't get Jobs confused with Sony's forthcoming joint based on Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs bio. Also be wary of mistaking Kutcher for a dramatic actor, no matter how many times people say "but, The Butterfly Effect!" and "but, Bobby!" and "but, Ashton's going into space!" »

Columbus Circle: Q & A With Amy Smart
4 March 2012 7:07 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Last week, The Hollywood News was lucky enough to be granted an interview with the stunning actress, Amy Smart, who has been a familiar fixture on our cinema an TV screens over the last 16 years. After an almost decade-long career in ballet, she made the brave decision to try her hand at acting and has since, never looked back.
Like most aspiring actresses, Smart began her Hollywood career with small roles in Starship Troopers and low-budget, independent features like Campfire Tales and The Last Time I Commited Suicide. I personally first became aware of her from a small but pretty effective slasher flick from 1998, Strangeland. It was the first horror film to incorporate the use of the growing popularity of the Internet into its plot to show just how the technology could be exploited by very bad people.
1999 saw her career finally begin to take off with significant roles in Varsity Blues, »

Amy Smart Honors Riverside As Green Community
27 February 2012 4:00 AM, PST | Look to the Stars | See recent Look to the Stars news »
The City of Riverside, which for years has been a leader among Southern California cities embracing a more sustainable way of living, got a dose of “star power” recently when it was honored for being the first city to become a California Green Community.
Actress Amy Smart, a leader in young Hollywood environmental circles who has appeared in films such as Varsity Blues, The Butterfly Effect and Crank, presented Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge and other officials with a silver award from the California Green Communities program. Other cities that have since achieved silver status as well include Claremont, Monrovia and Santa Clarita. “We’re honoring Riverside for all the amazing work it has done in the last two years,” Smart said. “Now all these other cities can look at Riverside and see that it is possible to do some of the things we have been talking about in terms of sustainability. »
'Happy Endings' recap: Smackdown Thaw
23 February 2012 5:46 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Happy Endings, as it’s entirely aware of itself, has plenty to thank Friends for. Especially that with no Fat Joey we’d have no Max, and with no Max we’d have no Bear Max. But the top-notch comedy has traces of another popular sitcom to it: How I Met Your Mother. Well, Himym during its heyday, anyway, and not this recent wave of weekly cliffhangers and melodrama. (When will it cease?!)
During last night’s episode of Happy Endings, titled “The Butterfly Effect Effect,” I couldn’t help but hope that their Spring Smackdown will become like the Himym equivalent of slap bet. »
