According to US Weekly, Chris and Luke Hemsworth, brothers of Liam Hemsworth, who is still, apparently, Miley Cyrus’s fiancé, stepped in about a month ago to convince him to leave her. Like a romance intervention. Because she’s not good for him. Full Story

The Academy sent out a press release this morning announcing that the cast of The Avengers—RDJ, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson—will be presenting at the Oscars. There are a couple noticeable absences, though. Scarlett Johansson, who’s currently on Broadway so it’s conceivable she couldn’t take the time off, but where in the world is Chris Hemsworth? He has his own franchise and Thor 2 is opening later this year. Full Story

Since I don’t track Elsa Pataky the way she wants me to I’d no idea she cut off all her hair and, she wasn’t blonde before, was she? For the purposes of this blog then, let’s decide that she wasn’t and that this is new. And it looks good the way her hair is flat against her head, the envy of Asians like me who cannot grow it like this, and not unlike Sienna Miller who wore it similarly when she had it short. Full Story

The point of this article is that everyone is better off when they’re friends with Emily Blunt. Tom Cruise was out with Matt Damon, Chris Hemsworth, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski the other night in London. There was a private room. A burlesque dancer performed. Tom has new friends! And…they’re actually kinda cool! So how did this come together? Tom and Emily are shooting All You Need Is Kill. Full Story

One of the biggest ongoing questions surrounding the Avengers franchise is the potential involvement of Dr. Strange, a dude who messes around with space-magic sh*t, and he sometimes helps the Avengers out. A lot of folks, myself included, have thought Benedict Cumberbatch Full Story

Literally, he is free of an agent. Deadline reports that Chris Hemsworth, after the success of The Avengers and coming off his biggest payday ever, Snow White and the Huntsman, has broken up with his agent of four years, IFA’s Ilene Feldman. They cite differences stemming from negotiations for Thor 2 and Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse, which probably means IFA and Feldman were unable to get Hemsworth as much money as he wants. Full Story

Chris Hemsworth’s daughter India is 8 weeks old. I know that’s small. But I feel like even when she’s 18 weeks old she’ll still look this small in his arms. Like hamster-sized. That’s the only commentary I wanted to make on these photos other than the obligatory “see baby, so cute, gush, gush”. Full Story

This is Chris Hemsworth with his wife and his mother-in-law holding on to baby India in Madrid yesterday where the Spanish football team arrived following their Euro Cup victory over Italy. It must have been bananas in other parts of the city. Hemsworth should begin production on Thor 2 soon. Full Story

Chris Hemsworth, his wife Elsa Pataky, and their newborn baby girl India Rose (I can hear you, Duana, I can hear you) went for a walk today in London. Elsa’s already back in no-pregnancy shape. SHE WAS PROBABLY FAKING IT! No, we only accuse Beyonce of faking it. Because only Beyonce has amazing muscle memory. Full Story

Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth were on Good Morning America today to promote The Avengers. Does it still need promoting at this point? The overseas box office for the film is already almost at $200 million. Can you stand the next 4 days? I’m telling you - if you go to the movies to have fun, The Avengers will deliver. Full Story

Chris Hemsworth, Channing Tatum, and Joe Manganiello all showed up at an event last night. Hemsworth, as you know, is the god Thor. So he’s a beast. I mean, this is a tall guy. But look at him next to Manganiello! He becomes average-sized. And Channing Tatum, sandwiched between them, who isn’t exactly little, is like the little brother. Full Story

I don’t know if you’ve heard but a lot of critics are talking about The Avengers like it’s the rapture. Best super hero movie ever? Click here for a collection of analyses. I’m not nerd enough - at all - to be able to make any sort of declaration on the subject. Full Story

Sarah from Cinesnark is all about the Loki love. I like Loki as a character, a lot, and he is a great character (with amazing costumes) in The Avengers, but it’s not like I want to walk around holding hands with Loki or anything. Tom Hiddleston on the other hand. Full Story

My interviews with The Avengers from the weekend junket will be airing on etalk all week. Proper reviews are still embargoed but apparently the geeks are more than satisfied with what Joss Whedon has accomplished. Like we’re talking mega nerd approval. Me I have no idea what the nerds want. What I wanted was more than just special effects and explosions. Full Story
