James Gray, a Cannes favourite, screened his highly anticipated The Immigrant today at the festival. The reviews I’ve read have been medium to good. Once again, Gray is working with his muse, Joaquin Phoenix. They say however that he may have found a new one in Marion Cotillard. Her performance is generating some serious buzz. Full Story

Last week a rumor surfaced about Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye being out of The Avengers 2, and that Renner himself could be done with the franchise, as Marvel brass weren’t happy with some comments he made about how Hawkeye turned out. While Marvel is totally willing to recast (see also: Terrence Howard, Edward Norton), sh*t talking is not how you get kicked to the curb. Full Story

Jeremy Renner’s 8 month old puppy, Franklin, a French bulldog, died last year because he was overheated. I could barely get that sentence out. Jeremy, understandably, was devastated. Last week, Jacek and I took our Marcus to emergency at 4am because he had the runs. We were getting on a plane that day. Full Story

Most of them walked the carpet and posed on Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Some of them didn’t. Bradley Cooper didn’t. He was shot getting out of the car and heading into the venue but did not stop for photographs. He was photographed however at the Bloomberg Vanity Fair after-party talking to his boss, Harvey Weinstein, but barely. Full Story

This is Jeremy Renner in costume on the set of that David O Russell Abscam movie. Holy sh-t the cast on this film. That’s 13 nominations between actors and the director, spread across 6 people, and 2 wins (Jennifer Lawrence and Christian Bale). As we saw earlier this week, Bradley Cooper’s perm has been dominating the focus on this project. Full Story

Who are you wearing? The age old red carpet question has taken on special new meaning, now that it’s been revealed this year’s Oscar gift bags include a pack of condoms, specifically, Naked Brand condoms. They’re marketed as a luxury rubber, but at only $20 a box, this is extravagance anyone can afford. Full Story

It was reported last month that Jeremy Renner and Canadian promotions model Sonni Pacheco were expecting a baby. Now there’s some chatter on Twitter and Instagram that they’ve welcomed a daughter called Ava. No rep confirmation yet. His rep never ended up confirming US Weekly’s original pregnancy story though so I wonder if they’ll bother with a birth announcement, if this is indeed true. Full Story

The party is always better than the show, right? Especially if you have a party partner. This…is not Ben Affleck’s life right now. More on that later. For now, here’s Alice Eve getting sweaty with Bradley Cooper. And Bradley Cooper getting pawed by Michael Fassbender. And Fassbender fangirling Jennifer Lawrence. Full Story

Sarah always complains that Jeremy Renner has a shiny suit problem. This is definitely an improvement. Renner is promoting Hansel & Gretel and stopped by Letterman yesterday. Did they talk about his kid-to-be? I’ve not seen it in any headlines but then again, everyone’s just talking about Lance Armstrong, and if they’re not talking about Lance Armstrong, they’re talking about Manti Te’o. Full Story

US Weekly reports that Jeremy Renner will become a father this year. There’s a good story to it too. Renner was casually seeing the baby mother a few months ago. Nothing serious with no potential of getting serious. It ended but then...she found out she was pregnant. Full Story

Possibly even the worst episode of the season so far. It’s not entirely on Renner—SNL is just so bad these days—but he wasn’t helping much. His cue card reading was blatant and only got worse throughout the show, and though he is funnier than his manly-man action roles suggest, I can see now that there is a reason he didn’t get famous for comedies. Full Story

Jeremy Renner presented the Career Achievement Award from the Casting Society America to Ben Affeck last night. Affleck’s last two films have featured excellent ensembles, including Renner in The Town. Renner’s appearance in support of his former director coincided with the online release of the red band trailer for his upcoming Hansel & Gretel. Full Story

I love bad action movies. Road House is one of my all-time favorite films. I can quote Point Break, chapter and verse. I will happily sit through Bad Boys II. I have a high threshold of pain when it comes to bad action movies. I like fairy tales too—I recently read the complete Grimm and OH MY GOD, it’s some deeply f*cked up stuff. Full Story

Jeremy Renner is currently promoting The Bourne Legacy in Europe. But before he left he took a very attractive woman out to lunch. Here he is on Thursday with the as-yet-unidentified but really hot brunette in LA. Thursday??? And we still don’t know who she is??? Is it simply because no one was working this long weekend or does she actually have no interest in being known? I want very much for this to be true. Full Story
