I love the beaded high collar of her dress. And the rest of it was... OK. Mostly though, I just wonder why such little fanfare. Jessica Chastain, of course, doesn’t go around hungrily begging for it - like the Jessicas Alba and Biel - but at the same time, after this great year, people still don’t seem to really. Full Story

The Artist may have won Best Film and Best Director last night but The Help’s victories in acting ensemble and lead and supporting actresses gave it a huge boost as we head toward Oscar nomination day on January 24. The Help is exactly the kind of film the Academy would love to honour. Remember Crash? Crash was a gross simplification. Full Story

As I mentioned the other day, I’ve recently developed a (late) addiction to Veronica Mars. It’s amazing how many faces have passed through Veronica Mars. Jessica Chastain passed through Veronica Mars, did you know that? It was one episode, she played a victim and, in what’s promising to be a great career, it wasn’t very memorable. Full Story

As Brad Pitt said, admiringly, of Jessica Chastain:“Seven pictures in 2011 and five in 2012. Usually an actor has to work in the porn industry to have that kind of success.”Jessica Chastain is pretty much why Jessica Biel has to marry Justin Timberlake.

The Debt premiered in London tonight. Dame Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain walked the carpet. That Dame is such a babe, isn’t she? Jacek says it to me all the time: “Can you please look like her when you’re that age?” Oh I want to. I really, really want to. The Dame is 66. She looks it. Full Story

Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard were at the Kate Spade party last night at TIFF proving that they're clearly not the same person. Jessica I think has 3 films at the festival. My research notes aren't with me as I'm currently waiting to talk to Jay Baruchel on the Goon carpet at the Ryerson. Full Story

Jessica Chastain in 30. Helen Mirren is well over 30. She’s 66. How many times does a 30 year old have to worry about looking not as good standing next to a 66 year old? That’s Helen Mirren. Here they are at the New York screening of The Debt last night in New York. Jessica plays a young Helen in the film which has been held for release for what seems like years. Full Story

For her own premieres, Angelina Jolie seems to favour black. It’s for HIS events that she gets a little creative. Well, as creative as she can get, sartorially speaking. We’re not exactly talking about Kate Moss here. So it was a bright coloured Jolie last night in LA for the premiere of The Tree of Life which happened at the same time as the Kung Fu Panda 2 screening in New York. Full Story

We had Brange as our top story on etalk yesterday and I can't imagine it was any different for any other entertainment show. They were the Main Event on Monday. Yesterday I described the process of getting credentialed for a red carpet here in Cannes - click here Full Story
