Media Manipulation At long last, Wonder Woman? Maybe. Variety is reporting that three actresses have been tapped to screen test for a role in Zack Snyder’s Batman vs. Superman, which is being billed as a Man of Steel sequel but feels very much like a pre-cursor to a Justice League movie. The three actresses are By Sarah • Nov 08, 2013 01:33 pm
Amazingness Emma’s awesome hands and feet Here’s Emma Thompson at her hand and footprint ceremony at the Chinese theatre in Hollywood. As you know, this one knows how to put on a show.

Movie Reviews and Previews Colin Farrell for Valentine’s Day Colin Farrell was at the premiere of Saving Mr. Banks last night. I really hate his hair right now.

Colin will follow that up in February, on Valentine’s Day, with Winter’s By Lainey • Nov 08, 2013 11:58 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Rachel and Bradley holding hands Rachel McAdams and Bradley Cooper were on the beach in Hawaii yesterday holding hands and being lovers.

Twilight Fast-talking and lip-biting Kristen Stewart was photographed in New York yesterday on the set of a new independent film called Anesthesia. She’s expected to work a short few days.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Thor 2 premiere was a sausage fest Lainey was hoping that RDJ would show in support of Thor: The Dark World at its LA premiere—not unreasonable, given he supported Captain America back in 2011—but Marvel typically only hooks one franchise outlier per premiere; they don’t clog their red carpets. So when Jeremy Renner showed By Sarah • Nov 05, 2013 10:22 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Granny blonde and bobbed Nicole Kidman is shooting Paddington (yes, about the bear) in London. She plays a bad bitch called Millicent who presumably wants to stuff Paddington and hang him on her wall. As you can see, her character is a blonde, with a fringed bob. I love that a new generation of By Lainey • Nov 04, 2013 11:16 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Idris Elba’s good news? Idris Elba was in Johannesburg yesterday for the premiere of Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom.

Movie Reviews and Previews Only Lovers Left Alive is funny? After premiering at Cannes and screening at TIFF, Only Lovers Left Alive, aka the vampire movie with Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton, finally has a trailer. And it looks funny, maybe?

Movie Reviews and Previews American Hiddlemas As we enter our third week of Hiddlemas, celebrations move to America as the patron saint himself, Saint Tom the Huge Dork, has come to ring in the festivities by, what else, being a huge dork. But this time, he’s being a huge dork with kids, which is the By Sarah • Nov 01, 2013 02:47 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Spermy’s Halloween Here are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner trick-or-treating with their kids yesterday, not in costume. Because, as she told Ellen Degeneres, the one year they dressed up, none of the other parents did, so Ben said he’s never doing it again. It was one of those wholesome By Lainey • Nov 01, 2013 11:00 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The LEGO Movie: Everything is awesome At first, The LEGO Movie sounded like exactly the kind of consumerist filmmaking that is tanking summer movies (see also: Transformers, Battleship), but the first trailer was funny, and despite its graveyard shift release in February, I was optimistic. Now the second trailer has been released and I am totally By Sarah • Nov 01, 2013 09:35 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Spike Lee & Pipsqueak It was announced a few months ago that Justin Timberlake would play Neil Bogart in a biopic of the music producer’s life called Spinning Gold.
