Quiveration Charlie’s big summer? Charlie Hunnam was photographed out in Beverly Hills yesterday. Goddamn he is hot. Especially when he’s moving around naturally and not on a red carpet with his chin up.

Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Aniston: the female Channing Tatum When they presented together at the Oscars, Jennifer Aniston and Channing Tatum, I tweeted that that was an instant rom-com.

Movie Reviews and Previews Gatsby without Leo Baz Luhrmann and his Gatsby cast were in Sydney tonight at the gala premiere. Tobey Maguire was there, and Joel Edgerton, and of course Carey Mulligan dutifully promoted their film. Leo, as you know, stayed back in Cannes.

Movie Reviews and Previews You stay classy, Anchorman I have this horrible thought that I cannot shake—what if the new Arrested Development isn’t as good as the old? It’s been ten years since the show first premiered—at this point, isn’t the nostalgia part of the love? I live in increasing fear of the By Sarah • May 22, 2013 12:20 pm

Last night Leonardo DiCaprio, still in Cannes, hit up the De Grisogono party at the Eden Roc. The De Grisogono party is one of the more hilarious festival events for its high low factor. There’s Leo By Lainey • May 22, 2013 11:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Totally forgot about The Wolverine When Lainey asked if I wanted to write about The Wolverine’s new trailer, I had a moment of, “What is she talking about…?” and then I remembered Hugh Jackman’s new movie, due in July.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for May 22, 2013 Dear Gossips, I can’t believe Michael Douglas won’t be receiving an Oscar nomination for his work in Behind The Candelabra. Because he is BRILLIANT in Behind The Candelabra. An actor still at the very, very, very top of his game. And Matt Damon too. And Steven Soderbergh. Behind By Lainey • May 22, 2013 09:22 am

Movie Reviews and Previews RDJ’s getting his “Where’s mine?” is what Robert Downey Jr was saying to himself after he finally cleaned up and married Susan and started working on quality films again, like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a great movie that did sh-t at the box office.

Movie Reviews and Previews Star Trek Merely Whelms After a much-hyped worldwide publicity tour, Star Trek Into Darkness opened and…just kind of showed up. It’s an okay movie, with slick action and an ultimately frustrating plot, but I wouldn’t say it’s anything more than okay. And apparently everyone else was merely whelmed too By Sarah • May 21, 2013 11:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews From Transformers to Turtles Candelabras not invited. Speaking of the absurdities of filmmaking... Check out Megan Fox yesterday in New York shooting Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with co-star Alan Ritchmon. As you can see, he's wearing the framework of a turtle shell on his back. And then By Lainey • May 21, 2013 10:33 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Behind The Candelabra in Cannes Michael Douglas and Matt Damon were in Cannes today to promote Behind The Candelabra, premiering on HBO and HBO Canada on Sunday.

Friday Night Lights Michael B Jordan in Cannes After seeing Fruitvale Station (when did they add the “Station”?) at Sundance, THR’s Todd McCarthy called Michael B Jordan the next Denzel Washington. And as I wrote back in January... We KNOW! He was Vince Howard. And before that he was Wallace! We.KNOW. Or you would if you By Lainey • May 16, 2013 11:49 am
BFFs Tom Cruise & JJ Abrams Tom Cruise was at the Star Trek Into Darkness premiere last night. He did not walk the carpet but showed up for the after-party. As you know, it’s not his style to attend the opening of just anything. The official reason is that he was there to support By Lainey • May 15, 2013 04:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Aaron Taylor-Johnson Channing Tatum-ed and Hulked Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Steveston (just outside Vancouver) today shooting Godzilla. As you can see, he’s muscled up for the role. There’s a little Channing Tatum going on here, non? And a Hulk in his pants. Oh stop. I mean the rip, see? The rip at the crotch?
