6 Faster Trailer: The Rock Is a Man With a Plan
Can you smell what The Rock is cookin'? Spoiler alert: it's a revenge thriller called Faster. I do realize that Dwayne Johnson no longer goes by his wrestling moniker, (because he's now a real thespian), but his new and old personas are somewhat merged in this action role. He plays an ex-con with one purpose: to pick off the men who murdered his brother, one at a time. Hot on his trail are Billy Read more
The Mann Chinese Theater in LA was hopping with celebrities last night in attendance for three big Jerry Bruckheimer events. The afternoon kicked off with Jerry's Hollywood Walk of Fame dedication followed by the Prince of Persia premiere while his films Armageddon, Pirates of the Caribbean, and National Treasure simultaneously screened.

Camila Alves brought her baby bump out in LA last night to attend the premiere of One Peace at a Time with Matthew McConaughey.

If you're familiar with his work, Read more
As some of you may know, Billy Bob Thornton was recently outed as a major douchebag. He showed up with his band the Boxmasters to a live radio interview, and because the interviewer mentioned in his introduction that Billy Bob was (gasp!) an actor and not, I don't know, a Rock God — he sulked, stopped answering questions like a normal person, and in general acted like a petulant, self-important Read more
Waitresses who want to model. Models who want to act. Actors who want to sing. Is anyone happy doing the jobs they're in? Whatever the case, the actor-turned-wannabe-singer seems to be one of the douchiest strains of these hybrids. Take Billy Bob Thornton. I had no idea that this guy was a singer, musician, and according to him in this cringe-inducing interview he did with his band the Boxmasters Read more

Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie divorced a long time ago, but both have always had kind words to say about each other. In a recent interview Billy Bob said: "I'd like to do another movie with Angie, one of these days. We talk all the time. She and I keep looking for something to do together; we just have to find the right thing." The actors met on the set of Pushing Tin, and we all know Read more
