Dumbass Gypsy Husband will not be Pipped It’s relief and fury at the same time. As I reported exclusively last month, click here for a refresher, Justin Timberlake was being considered to play Gypsy Husband aka Colin Farrell in the film adaptation of Emma Forrest’s Your Voice In My Head. My sources tell me he By Lainey • Apr 25, 2012 11:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Girls Like Us...now Three years ago I was obsessed with a book by Sheila Weller called Girls Like Us, a triple biography intersecting the histories of Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon. Click here for my review from December 17, 2008. Their lives were, obviously, fascinating. But for me, as a child By Lainey • Apr 24, 2012 03:50 pm
Girly Throw Downs Avengers Assemble with The Dark Knight I don’t know if you’ve heard but a lot of critics are talking about The Avengers like it’s the rapture. Best super hero movie ever? Click here for a collection of analyses. I’m not nerd enough - at all - to be able to make any By Lainey • Apr 23, 2012 05:15 pm
Dumbass Bridget & Daniel Cleaver rise again...soon, maybe I guess my head was really far up my ass, more so than usual, in February because I completely missed this story. I’m sorry. Another Bridget Jones movie is actually happening. Sort of. Click here for the last time I posted about the project about a year ago. The By Lainey • Apr 23, 2012 03:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Straining neck muscles Looks like Annie’s going hard for that nomination. Here’s the first look at Anne Hathaway in costume as Fantine for Les Miserables, on location in London yesterday with Hugh Jackman. I assume that they’re sing-acting here, both putting a full thrust of emotion into the performance, and By Lainey • Apr 19, 2012 05:18 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Channing Tatum is always Channing Tatum Admit it – if you replace Channing Tatum with anyone else in the Magic Mike trailer your reaction would be that this movie looks like sh-t and you know, men still win when men are objectified, right? The thing about this trailer though is that it isn’t anyone else, it’ By Lainey • Apr 19, 2012 12:35 pm
Quiveration Jessica Biel & the real Colin Farrell Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale, and director Len Wiseman were in Mexico yesterday for Summer of Sony to promote Total Recall opening in August which is interesting to me because, as I’ve been reporting Jessica’s fiancé, Justin Timberlake, is being seriously considered to play the part of By Lainey • Apr 18, 2012 01:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Summer movie preview 2012 It’s almost here, my favorite time of year. Summer movie season is a four month holiday for industry watchers. It’s all insanity and nervousness. There’s so much on the line—so much money, so many connotations for people’s careers. If you’re into blow-by-blow previews, I By Sarah • Apr 17, 2012 03:43 pm
Style Emma, Andrew, and a new trailer Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, along with other members of The Amazing Spider-Man team, including that prick Rhys Ifans, were in Mexico yesterday promoting the movie at the Summer of Sony event. I love her blouse and that tricked out collar. I LOVE it. I also love that they’re By Lainey • Apr 17, 2012 01:28 pm
Lainey Interviews The Avengers In Russia My interviews with The Avengers from the weekend junket will be airing on etalk all week. Proper reviews are still embargoed but apparently the geeks are more than satisfied with what Joss Whedon has accomplished. Like we’re talking mega nerd approval. Me I have no idea what the nerds By Lainey • Apr 17, 2012 10:49 am
BFFs Brought together on a double date Was it? No idea. But Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel are best friends so at some point, there had to be an invitation over to the Afflecks for barbeque, right? And since Ben is such a respected director now, Justin Timberlake would have been all over that. Justin Timberlake totally By Lainey • Apr 16, 2012 04:00 pm
Maple Leaf Stripes keep them together Many of you have emailed to ask the last couple of months whether or not Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson are still together because there have been no pictures. Here is your answer: they matched stripes at Coachella, so yes. Diane’s been working on a movie called The Host By Lainey • Apr 16, 2012 03:05 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Leo’s face to waist ratio But before we get to Leo, who spent the weekend in Mexico promoting Sony’s upcoming Django Unchained, can we talk about the first poster for Django Unchained? Which does not actually SAY the words “Django Unchained”? Or Leonardo DiCaprio? Or Jamie Foxx? No, right now, Django Unchained is all By Lainey • Apr 16, 2012 12:46 pm
Gorgessity Emma's long hair and legs Emma Watson kept her hair short for, what was it?, like two years? She cut it right after she’d completed her work on Harry Potter, almost as though she was symbolically separating herself from a character she’d played for a decade. And it worked. For a long time, By Lainey • Apr 13, 2012 03:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews But will they dance by the fire again? It was reported the other day that Angelina Jolie was considering a cameo in an upcoming Ridley Scott movie starring Michael Fassbender called The Counselor. I wrote at the time (click here for a refresher) that it was a tabloid dream come true, driving Michael’s considerable girth between the By Lainey • Apr 13, 2012 12:41 pm
Maple Leaf Battleship: Big, dumb, loud…successful? It’s crept up on me slowly, but for the last six weeks or so, I’ve thought that Battleship, the movie based on a boardgame, would surprise people. Sure, it looks big and dumb and loud and it reminds me of Transformers in less-than-flattering ways, but it kind of By Sarah • Apr 13, 2012 10:27 am
