Benicio del Toro Gossip

As I write this review, there has been another mass shooting in America. More people are dead. More people are injured. More suffering, more anger, more inaction, more misery. We can’t go a f*cking day without some fresh hell bursting forth and poisoning the well. At this point, we’re chest-deep in sludge so toxic I honestly, really, don’t think we’ll survive it. Full Story

Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro was asked this week about his friend Johnny Depp being accused of domestic abuse by his estranged wife Amber Heard Full Story

I loved Friday. I loved it so much because of Jennifer Garner. God that Vanity Fair article. Click here if you missed my post on it last week. She threw down a lesson in public scolding without getting your hands dirty. Full Story

John Boyega won the BAFTA Rising Star Award last night. And he was dressed for it, looking sharp in a black velvet suit. I love his reaction when he got up to collect his trophy – a wide open-mouthed WHOA! as he was buttoning up his jacket. Understandable, non? He was in Star Wars. He was in the biggest movie of all time. Full Story

This is such a great Oscar year! We have a REAL race in ALL categories! Periodically Lainey and I will text one another something along the lines of “this is so exciting!” because for once the Oscars are wide open across the board. The only category that feels close to a done deal is Best Actor because it does feel like everyone is going to just roll over for Leonardo DiCaprio and finally give him an Oscar for freezing his eyelids shut in the Yukon (I spoke to one Academy voter who told me Leo D has his vote because “I’m afraid if he doesn’t get it this time, next time he’ll be hooking his nuts up to a car battery”). Full Story

I never used to get it about Benicio Del Toro. You know my type. Charlie Hunnam, Liam Hemsworth… But then I saw Sicario. After Spotlight, it’s my favourite film of TIFF. Like Spotlight, it’s not an easy story. This is two hours of stress and anxiety. But worth it. So worth it. Full Story

Or maybe a supervillain. Del Toro is the latest to join Guardians of the Galaxy, the insane movie Marvel is set to start filming in a couple months. Chris Pratt is leading a cast that includes Lee Pace, Dr. Who’s Karen Gillan, Zoe Saldana, Glenn Motherf*cking Close, and John C. Reilly is in talks for a role that’s  comparable-ish to Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson. Full Story

For the second night in London Tom Cruise was photographed on the club scene. Here he is leaving Annabel’s, a private members establishment. Benicio del Toro was there too and you know who else? Tara Reid. Not saying they were hanging out together, but it does seem a little off brand for TC to be rolling up to the same place where Tara Reid was likely getting drunk and falling down. Full Story

Over the last 3 weeks or so, most of the expected Oscar contending features have been rolling out their first trailers...but for Anna Karenina. Joe Wright, can you PLEASE get on this??? This is another film Duana and I will be seeing together, holding hands. Right after Les Miserables. I’ve been saying for a while, ever since the previews for Savages came out, that I’m not sure how I’ll make it out of the theatre after watching two hours of Aaron Johnson. Full Story

It’s the best recent randomness: Benicio del Toro’s people have confirmed exclusively to Life & Style (because they went through her garbage and found the pregnancy test? Or because People Magazine wouldn’t pay her?) that he and Kimberly Stewart are having a baby. Full Story
