People's Choice Awards: Kat Dennings

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:50:56 PST

Kat Dennings channeled a retro-glam vibe in a black wrap dress with taffeta skirt detail. Her black and gold choker necklace and black round-toe pumps served as classic accessory accents. The 2 Broke Girls actress winged out her liquid black eyeliner, but stayed neutral otherwise. To top off her look, she chose a bright red lip as the sweet finishing touch. Thoughts?

Ashton Returns Home For a Lakers Game With Cindy, Rande, and a Loved-Up ARod

Last night's Lakers game brought out a wide range of celebrities! Ashton Kutcher was courtside to watch the Lakers beat the Houston Rockets following his European escapades. He traveled in Rome with pal Lorene Scafaria, then went on to Greece. Ashton partied in Athens with a brunette, but he's since wrapped up the fun. He was seated right next to 2 Broke Girls star Kat Dennings, who was loved up with her guy, Nick Zano.

Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber, sat with their bud Alex Rodriguez. The evening gave a chance for ARod to go public with Torrie Wilson, his new blond girlfriend with a history as a star in the WWE. The foursome are fresh off a vacation in Cabo, where they hung out with George Clooney and his own WWE lady, Stacy Keibler.

Pilot Scoop: 2 Broke Girls

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:33:50 PDT

The new TV season is chock full of familiar faces, and CBS's new comedy Two Broke Girls is no exception. Kat Dennings moves from the silver screen to the small screen, but brings along her signature sarcasm in this new series from executive producers Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City) and Whitney Cummings, which premieres tonight.

What it's about: Kat Dennings plays Max, a sassy Brooklynite working at a greasy-spoon diner in Williamsburg. When a prissy, down-on-her-luck rich girl joins her (Beth Behrs), the girls strike up an odd couple-style friendship. It's not long before Max and Caroline are living together and saving up for a business of their own.
Where it works: Dennings's acid tongue brings just the right amount of sarcasm to keep the sitcom edgy, and newcomer Behrs holds her own as spoiled but scrappy Caroline. The dynamic between them is fun to watch and the setting makes for hilarious hipster jokes aplenty.
Where it doesn't: Some of the supporting characters are a little too stereotypical (e.g., Max babysits for a rich Manhattan woman with twins named Brad and Angelina), and some of the jokes are trying too hard to push the envelope (there are jabs at both Stephen Hawking and Duke University).
You might like this show if: You're a fan of Dennings, or you're looking for the perfect show to keep the laughs going after How I Met Your Mother.
When it's on: Mondays at 8:30 p.m.

Michael Patrick King Says Kat Dennings Is 2 Broke Girls's "Legitimate Outsider"

Shannon Vestal — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:08:17 PDT

The stars of CBS's new comedy 2 Broke Girls, Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs, showed up at TCA today to talk about their Brooklyn-set sitcom about two waitresses from extremely different backgrounds (Dennings's character, Max, has always struggled, where Behrs's Caroline is a former heiress who has just lost all her money). Series creators Michael Patrick King (of Sex and the City) and Whitney Cummings (who was just at TCA on Monday for her new NBC show, Whitney) also chatted about the genesis of the series and the edginess of the humor. Here are highlights:

Dennings, best known for movies like Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and this Summer's Thor, was asked why she was making the transition to TV. She mentioned that although things were "actually picking up," she was frustrated about doing smaller films that no one ever saw. She wanted "to do something where people will definitely see it . . . because I'm a hard worker." While Dennings said she hadn't thought about TV, the fact that Cummings and King were behind the show made it seem "like a gift" and that she felt "just really lucky this came along."
King's goal for the series is for it to be "as contemporary and as edgy as two broke girls would be today if they were living in Williamsburg," while also striving for authenticity. That's why he wanted Dennings, calling her "a legitimate outsider girl" who makes the comedy real. In her costar Behrs, King said they "discovered this beautiful character," but Dennings is their "amazing, authentic outsider."

Interview: Natalie Portman, Chris Hemsworth, and Kat Dennings Talk Thor at Comic-Con!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 04 May 2011 09:54:21 PDT

Thor hits theaters this Friday, and one of my most memorable moments from last year's Comic-Con was when I had a chance to sit down with the cast to talk about the blockbuster comic book adaptation. Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings talked about what it was like to work with each other, along with Chris Hemsworth and director Kenneth Branagh. Then, Hemsworth talked about taking on - and bulking up for - the role of the God of Thunder.

How did Chris Hemsworth stack up as Thor?
Natalie Portman: Chris is fantastic. He is truly, truly talented. He can do anything. He's got a great sense of humor, he's got great emotional depth. He's a very, very smart guy and he's so nice. He's truly, genuinely, a wonderful person. He's exactly the kind of person who can handle this situation. Because you know it's a big, big deal, and he's able to have perspective, know what it is, and he's so kind. He's just a really great guy.

Kat Dennings: He's got a good family. We met his parents - they're lovely. He's just a good person.

To read more, including what Chris Hemsworth had to say, just

read more. What was the experience of working on such a large-scale action movie like? KD: Well, it's certainly the hugest thing I've ever been a part of, in pretty much every single way. I've worked with amazing people, but I really idolize Kenneth Branagh - for a really really long time - so it was pretty crazy to actually be able to work with him. I mean, we had a table read, and Anthony Hopkins was there: What?! The caliber of actors in this movie, including Ms. Portman, is just pretty much a dream for me and the most exciting thing, in a different way than I've been excited about other things, in a stars-in-my-eyes kind of way. Were you intimidated? KD: Yes, I was, but quickly made comfortable by my friends. And Ken, who is the most gracious, loving, supportive director you could ever, ever work with, so it quickly went away. Did you and Kat know each other before? NP: Yes. It was a great, great gift that we got to work together. It was really lucky. It was a fun movie to begin with, and it amplified the fun by a million. KD: Someone asked me, "So your friendship with Natalie Portman clearly got you this film." I'm like, Natalie Portman had no idea I got this! NP, to KD: I was like, "You would want to do this? That's the coolest thing ever!" [And] when they told me they cast Kat, I was like, "You got Kat?! That's so cool!" It was amazing. This is your first movie in 3D; how does that feel? NP: Everyone's going to know how flat-chested I am now! It's going to be evidence. What's it like being involved in such a big project? Chris Hemsworth: It's a combination of daunting and exciting. You come onto something that has a pre-existing fan base for many years, people know more about your character than you do, which you don't usually do as an actor. You want to make sure you pay homage to those guys and respect it, but also introduce it to a new audience in the right way. Can you describe your physical transformation for Thor? CH: I put on a lot of weight - I put on about 20 pounds at one point. It was purely eating, eating, eating, working out and working out, trying to sleep as much as you can - that's the other third of the equation. The eating was the biggest thing; since stopping shooting I probably work out the same but don't eat as much, and I've probably lost 15 pounds or something. Chicken breasts and protein shakes, boiled chicken . . . clean meats, the right carbs. Sickly stuff. How was it working with esteemed director and actor Kenneth Branagh? CH: He's incredible. The first play I ever did was Much Ado About Nothing, so we all studied his film over and over again, so to come full circle and work with him now is incredible. Ken is one of the [first] people I'd ever been challenged [by] . . . changing things, doing it differently. It really gets you out of that bad habit of saying "Oh no, my character only does this." I think when you lead yourself like that you limit possibilities, and Ken was all about experimenting and just going for it and taking that risk. What was it like seeing the trailer for the first time at Comic-Con? CH: It was crazy, a nerve-wracking experience being on that stage. I felt like a fan sitting there watching this thing come to life. What are the Thor monsters like? CH: There's the frost giants - big ice monsters - [there's a] huge battle there. Thor is a God throughout the nine realms fighting monsters, and then there's Thor on earth as a human fighting humans, so it was nice to figure out the two fighting styles and how strong is he here, and weak here. CH: In the beginning I had a bunch of [Thor] comics, and someone would give me a Thor doll as a joke, and a hammer, and I had all these things around my house. My manager gave me a record of the Thor soundtrack from years ago. And I'm like, wait a second; I'm playing this guy, I can't have all this around my house. I'll make a fool of myself. So I boxed it away and gave it to someone else.

The New Thor Trailer Looks Even Better (and Funnier) Than the First

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 12:50:05 PST

There's a new trailer for Thor, and unlike the first one, this one is going for laughs and more Natalie Portman (whose Oscar nominee status probably has something to do with this newly cut preview). Kat Dennings also gets some more love, helping illustrate that comedy can be found in the story of a God adjusting to modern life on Earth. But it's not all funny bits about Facebook and coffee; watch the new trailer and let me know if you're more excited now when you

Ashton and Great Chef Natalie Premiere No Strings Attached in LA

Allie Merriam — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 14:51:37 PST

Natalie Portman picked a peephole Vena Cava dress last night for the LA premiere of No Strings Attached. She hit the red carpet without fiancé Benjamin Millepied, but her costar Ashton Kutcher was happy to pose next to his Carven-clad wife, Demi Moore. Her daughter Rumer Willis smiled solo just ahead of today's release of her new Badgley Mischka ads. We caught up with Ashton as he headed into the screening, and he said unfortunately Natalie's on her own when it comes to parenting tips since he really only knows about kids older than 8! Their castmate Greta Gerwig said, though, she was thrilled about Natalie's surprise pregnancy and revealed that the mom-to-be is an amazing vegan cook. Greta kept company with a green-clad Lake Bell and Mindy Kaling, who summed up the evening by tweeting, "It's not gonna get much cuter than tiny Natalie Portman, pregnant."
