Nars Celebrates 15 Years With a Book Launch

When couples celebrate their 15-year anniversary, the traditional gift they might give their mate is crystal. But when François Nars celebrates his company's 15th anniversary, he makes a book, with all proceeds going straight to charities. And as you might expect, it's not your ordinary coffee-table publication. To commemorate the company's quindecennial anniversary, Nars plans to release 15x15 Read more

Synecdoche, New York Movie Trailer

Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York, has been generating positive buzz ever since it premiered at Cannes this year. Time Magazine calls it "A miracle movie," while Variety claims it is "a wildly ambitious and gravely serious contemplation of life. The picture exerts power and artistic mystery." If this new trailer is any indication, I am starting to see what all the fuss is Read more

Hollywood Goes Hitchcock For Vanity Fair

The Vanity Fair annual Hollywood Issue photo shoot is especially cool this year as a whole slew of famous actors posed to recreate classic shots from Alfred Hitchcock movies. Some of my personal favorites include Seth Rogan doing North by Northwest Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr. in To Catch A Thief and the Scarlett Johansson/Javier Bardem duo doing Rear Window. Also, doesn't Renee Read more

Margot at the Wedding: Just Plain Bleak

At the end of writer/director Noah Baumbach's 2005 film The Squid and the Whale, I felt exhausted — but not in a bad way. That slice-of-life film focusing on a Brooklyn family in the midst of the parents' separation is at times depressing and hard to watch. At the end, however, there's a moment that feels redemptive and almost hopeful. Margot at the Wedding marks Baumbach's follow-up to Squid Read more

Nicole, Adrian and Helena at the Premiere

Fresh off her hot night at the CMAs Nicole Kidman looked kinda freezing (not to be confused with frigid) at the NYC premiere of Margot at the Wedding last night. No wonder why she didn't take off her coat. Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Adrian Grenier were similarly bundled up, but not Helena Christensen. Because supermodels do not feel cold, obviously. Also, rewinding for a second, Adrian looks a little, Read more

Keith Recovers Quickly To Stand By Nicole's Side

Nicole hit the red carpet solo for the premiere of Margot at the Wedding, but Keith was back by her side to walk her around NYC this weekend. He looks all cleaned up since his motorcycle accident (certainly in better shape than post-crash Clooney), but maybe that's because the incident wasn't as bad as it seemed. Nicole claims the whole thing was blown out of proportion, saying, “He didn’t Read more

First Look: Nicole Kidman in Margot at the Wedding

Noah Baumbach is the young director whose indie film The Squid and the Whale (starring Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney) was weirdly fascinating. Embracing the look and feel of Brooklyn in the 1980s, it was a difficult family drama that often made me laugh or feel uncomfortable (or, at times, accomplished both those things at the same time). Baumbach's latest venture, Margot at the Wedding, appears Read more
