Midseason drama Red Widow premieres this Sunday, and I recently sat down with the cast on set in Vancouver to talk about the new show. Stars Radha Mitchell, Goran Visnjic, and Luke Goss talked about their characters on the crime series, while series creator Melissa Rosenberg (better known as the screenwriter of the Twilight films) shared why she wanted to develop the show. Watch now and don't forget to tune in to the show Sunday on ABC.
We spoke with Josh Lucas and Radha Mitchell about the premiere of Big Sur at Sundance this week. Check out our interview as they talk about bringing Jack Kerouac's book to life on the big screen and the "indie" spirit of the film festival.
Kate Bosworth and her fiancé Michael Polish premiered and promoted the film that brought them together, Big Sur, at the Sundance Film Festival on Tuesday. Michael directed the movie, which is an adaptation of Jack Keroauc's book of the same name, and Kate stars in it as one of Jack's lovers. Kate and Michael met while making Big Sur, and the actress revealed that she fell in love with Michael first as a director before their romantic relationship started. Kate also celebrated her 30th birthday in early January and spoke to press about taking on more mature roles like this one as she enters the next big decade of her life and career.

Even if you don't know who Melissa Rosenberg is, you've probably seen her work; she's the screenwriter behind all the Twilight movies and was a head writer on Dexter for the first four seasons. Now she's running her own show, Red Widow, as creator and executive producer, and she came to the TCA with the stars of the midseason series, including Radha Mitchell and Goran Visnjic. Mitchell plays the lead character, a mother who is pulled into a crime web after the death of her husband, while Visnjic plays a drug lord pulling the strings. The two talked about their characters and what drew them to the show, while Rosenberg gave other tidbits about the series.
It was a rainy green faux grass carpet for last night's seventh annual Global Green Pre-Oscars Party at Avalon in LA, which meant that many of the stars rushed in to keep from getting wet. Jessica Alba in a Viktor and Rolf dress and Cash Warren huddled close under their umbrella, only stopping to take a couple of photos while Joel and Benji Madden avoided the carpet almost entirely on their way into provide the evening's entertainment. James Cameron, whose Avatar is up for a bunch of awards at Sunday's Oscars and is touted for its environmental message, took cover under an enormous umbrella to grant a few interviews on his way into the bash, which supports a cause that is obviously important to him. The inclement weather expected this weekend may mean another rainy red carpet for the Academy Awards, something the stars are used to this award season after the downpour at the Golden Globes.

A few months ago I was thrilled to hear that Henry Poole Is Here got picked up by a studio at Sundance because it was hands-down one of my favorite movies there. Luke Wilson is totally engaging as Henry Poole, a curmudgeonly man who buys an ordinary house in Southern California. Soon his neighbor Esperanza (Adriana Barazza) notices a stain on the outside of Henry's house that she thinks is the face of Jesus. She starts telling everyone in town about "the miracle" at Henry's house, much to Henry's annoyance. He tries his best to get rid of the stain, but the more he angrily resists the "miracle" on his house, the more proof presents itself that the stain truly does have some kind of power.
It gets a little overwrought and message-y at times, but overall the movie is sweetly funny and ultimately touching. Henry Poole opens in theaters August 15. To check out the trailer, read more
