Molly Goodson — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 08:03:42 PDT

Stanley Tucci is engaged! Stanley popped the question to his girlfriend, Felicity Blunt, and she debuted her new diamond ring at the NYC premiere and afterparty for Rampart on Tuesday night. Felicity and Stanley were set up by her sister, Emily Blunt, who costarred with Stanley in The Devil Wears Prada and, apparently, thought the two would be a good match. It will be Stanley's second marriage after his first wife, Kate, died of breast cancer in 2009. Felicity works as a literary agent in London. The actor, who is 50 and has three young children, and Felicity, 31, first got together earlier this year. Congrats to the happy couple!

Stanley Tucci Joins The Hunger Games Cast

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 09 May 2011 12:00:24 PDT

May the odds be ever in his favor! Stanley Tucci has been cast in The Hunger Games as Caesar Flickerman, the longtime host of the Games. Flickerman also serves as the charismatic interviewer of the players, so he has a lot of action with main characters Katniss and Peeta (Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson).

Along with Elizabeth Banks, Tucci is one of the bigger names to become attached to the film adaptation of Suzanne Collins's book. For those unfamiliar with the plot, the story is set in a post-apocalyptic future in which the country's teens are forced to fight to the death in order to entertain the citizens.

Movie Preview: A Beefed Up Chris Evans Is Captain America

Lauren Bradshaw — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 20:52:53 PST

The Super Bowl is usually rife with clever ads, but I also keep my eyes peeled for the new movie trailers. If you paid close attention during this year's commercial breaks, you probably caught a handful of spots for upcoming films, including a closer look at Captain America: The First Avenger.

Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers, a scrawny military hopeful who submits his body to a research project. After entering a special scientific chamber, he emerges with a six-pack that could put The Situation to shame. The preview also includes quick glimpses at Stanley Tucci, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving (donning his grotesque makeup as Red Skull), and love interest Hayley Atwell. Take a look and share your thoughts after the jump.

Anne, Natalie, and Mila Unite For the Gotham Independent Film Awards

Allie Merriam — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 09:15:00 PST

Many of Hollywood's leading ladies stepped out in NYC last night for the annual Gotham Independent Film Awards. Anne Hathaway celebrated her appointment as cohost of next year's Oscars in her Dolce & Gabbana dress, and she spoke about her excitement over the honor. She said, "I found out that I'm one of three women to host since . . . I think it was 1987. Maybe I'm the fourth, I'm not sure. I'm still learning all the amazing statistics that I almost don't want to know because it gets a little bit too intimidating." Black Swan's Natalie Portman, in a piece from Lanvin for H&M, and an Oscar de la Renta-sporting Mila Kunis were there to watch as their director, Darren Aronofsky, took home a prize for his work - check out the evening's other winners. Leighton Meester was back in the US after a quick trip to Spain to make a daring appearance in a Thom Browne suit along with a maxidress-wearing Amanda Peet and a Lanvin-clad Julianne Moore.

If Christina Aguilera's performance at the American Music Awards got you amped for the release of Burlesque, then you'll gladly dive into even more glam photos from the film. Though the movie doesn't hit theaters until tomorrow (watch the trailer again here), you can get a look at Aguilera's sequin-filled production numbers alongside supporting cast members like Eric Dane, Kristen Bell, Cam Gigandet, and of course, Cher. We're still waiting to see if the film is any good, but one thing is for certain: it's definitely full of eye candy!

Easy A: Gets High Marks in Charm

Lauren Bradshaw — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 07:00:00 PDT

In Easy A, our heroine Olive Pendergast says she wants her life to be like a John Hughes movie. It's a lofty aspiration considering Hughes's reputation as the teen movie master, but it's one that the film unapologetically strives for with a playful wink. You have the alluring love interest à la Sixteen Candles (played here by Penn Badgley), Ferris Bueller-inspired shower karaoke, and a witty red-headed leading lady who is seemingly oblivious to her own coolness.

Emma Stone plays Olive, a teen homebody who's mistakenly branded as the school's own Hester Prynne after lying to her BFF (Aly Michalka) about losing her virginity. When the self-righteous religious club leader (Amanda Bynes) overhears, it's not long before everyone knows about Olive's supposed fling. Enter Brandon (Cougar Town's Dan Byrd), a bullied closeted gay student. Olive pretends to have sex with him to help his reputation, and she becomes the Mother Teresa of social outcasts, offering imaginary makeouts and boob fondling to help geeks up their popularity. When her charade spirals out of control, she's left without friends. To find out why I loved it,

read more. Never before has Stone been required to carry a film, and she handles it with aplomb. The actress is perfectly convincing as a sharp-tongued girl who rattles off pop culture references as often as SAT words. Stone handles the vulnerability of her character's moral conflict (should she help others if it means hurting herself?) with ease, and of course it helps having an excellent ensemble to back her up. As Olive's parents, Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson nearly steal the show as a goofy, loving couple who are genuinely friends with their daughter. Thomas Haden Church plays Olive's sarcastic, "cool" teacher, and Lisa Kudrow as his wife gets to be a guidance counselor who's delightfully crazy. Thanks to its cast, the movie goes beyond your typical high school comedy, and even cutesy high school dialogue feels more endearing than irritating. It may not go down in history like the works of John Hughes, but in the company of more recent school movies, Easy A easily makes the grade.
