Movie Reviews and Previews Guardians of the Galaxy: The best idea Back when Marvel first announced their intention to adapt obscure-even-by-nerd-standards Guardians of the Galaxy and everyone went “What?

Hook Ups Fetch: Robert Pattinson & Katy Perry Robert Pattinson is in New York on the morning show circuit to promote The Rover. I quite like his sock choice.

Smutty Surgery Granny’s updates? Remember those photos of Nicole Kidman last week and, um, you couldn’t stop looking at her…and it wasn’t her face? Click here for a refresher.

Chinese Squawking Chicken Jolie damed It’s Dame Angelina now. Queen Elizabeth made Angelina Jolie an honourer Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George on Friday on a Birthday Honours list that also included Daniel Day-Lewis, Maggie Smith, and Damian Lewis.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hardy’s wedding day Tom Hardy continues to work on Legend in London. It was evidently a wedding scene today, Emily Browning as the bride. She had to pop out for a cigarette during break. I’m not supposed to say this but I love seeing a smoking bride. Because the image is so By Lainey • Jun 13, 2014 01:59 pm
Bad Style Winona and the Visor's moment Terrifying what's happening right now. The Visor is having a moment. You know who's been wearing -- or you could say "rocking" -- the visor for years and years and years? You'd know if you've ever been to a Chinese mall. Or By Lainey • Jun 13, 2014 12:58 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hiddleston, country singer I love old timey country music. I get it from my dad—he loves Woody Guthrie and Willie Nelson and Carl Perkins.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hardy: Frank Farmer These are new photos of Tom Hardy on the set of Legend. He’s playing the Kray twins. They were gangsters. Can we talk about The Bodyguard now?

Movie Reviews and Previews Tilda driving Tilda Swinton and her boyfriend Sandro Kopp were out together in New York yesterday and she wasn’t wearing her Jennifer Aniston wig. She looks right again.

Amazingness The “stuff that Channing’s good at” My etalk colleague Danielle McGimsie is one of the best television presenters I know. Her voiceovers are amazing. No one does a read like Danielle. And when she’s at a junket? Never mind. Danielle always brings back a strong interview for the show, even when the actor she’s By Lainey • Jun 11, 2014 12:02 pm
Maple Leaf Still Dumb and Dumber I don’t think I’ve ever laughed harder in a movie than I did when I first saw Dumb and Dumber.

Movie Reviews and Previews Marvel re-marries Over the weekend Marvel wrapped up their (desperate) search for a new Ant-Man director after Edgar Wright suddenly dumped their ass a couple weeks ago.
