PopSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:00:30 -0800

Adam Brody took a coffee break with his phone in hand Saturday while filming The Romantics on Long Island. He was rolling solo for this outing, unlike last week when he grabbed a drink with Glee's Dianna Agron. Adam looked cozy in his standard navy cap, but his costars Katie Holmes and Anna Paquin looked ready for warmer weather as they got to work this morning. Katie's back in New York after her weekend with Suri in Boston, where they took advantage of some downtime to pay a visit to Tom Cruise.

Molly — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:35:37 -0800

Adam Brody was spotted out on a walk in NYC with Glee cutie Dianna Agron today. The two kept a few feet apart, but both sported big smiles as they chatted. They stopped off at Starbucks, where he stuck with a water. Adam Brody is in town filming The Romantics while Dianna and her castmates have been everywhere from the World Series to the talk show circuit promoting their smash hit. Their first CD is out this week and sure to make it onto more than a few holiday wish lists. Even if this is just a friendly coffee meetup, the two look pretty adorable staying warm together in the brisk Fall weather.

Jennifer's Body: Half-Baked High School Horror

BuzzSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:35:22 -0700

The first thing you should know about Jennifer's Body is that this movie is not terrifying. Yes, there's a bit of gore and a few cringe-worthy moments (like when Jennifer smiles through a mouthful of blood), but the scariest parts are given away in the trailer. It's more of a high school comedy than a slasher flick, and you can see the transitions from funny to freaky coming a mile away.

The second thing you should know is that this movie is not Juno. Though the two films penned by Diablo Cody fall into different genres, I was still hoping for some of the same magic from her award-winning little movie. Instead, certain elements - like the invented teenage slang - didn't bother me in Juno but really annoyed me in Jennifer's Body.

The movie's not all bad though, so to read more of my thoughts, just read more.

Cody sets the scene in Devil's Kettle, a small town that rarely sees a scandal worthy of its name. As Jennifer, Megan Fox is that girl we all knew in high school - gorgeous, but not unrealistic. Bitchy, but not made of stone. Like Mean Girls' Regina George, every girl wants to be friends with Jennifer, though her nerdy BFF Needy (Amanda Seyfried) gets most of her attention. Jennifer and her cropped hoodies are the object of desire of most of the guys at school, and even Needy is kinda obsessed with her in a sexual way.

When a night out goes horribly wrong, Needy loses track of Jennifer and when they reunite, nothing is the same. Needy quickly learns that Jennifer has been possessed, but her boyfriend and the rest of the community are too distracted by a local tragedy to hear Needy's story. She's constantly struggling to make sense of Jennifer's newly evil ways, though at the same time she's still mesmerized by Jennifer's charms just like everyone else.

Though Cody gets certain aspects of high school down cold, there are other parts that drove me crazy. The movie has some very funny moments, and I found myself laughing along with the audience a lot more than I had expected. The bad news is that a lot of the humor just feels so forced. We get it: Megan Fox is hot and it's funny to exploit her sex appeal. Does that mean it should be shoved down our throats? Some things are better left unsaid.

The central focus of the movie is Megan/Jennifer and her body (speaking of nonsubtleties) and her relationship with Needy. Amanda Seyfried is fun to watch once again, providing layers and depth to a character surrounded by shallow plot lines. As the only person who is onto Jennifer's secret, we watch as Needy goes from average teenage girl to terrified best friend, torn between honoring her friendship and saving her town from evil.

Surprisingly, the best characters in the movie are the guys. I've unabashedly had a crush on Adam Brody since his Seth Cohen days and loved seeing him back on the big screen. Brody plays the stereotypical, guy-liner wearing lead singer of a band, but with an evil streak. Despite some truly disturbing antics, he and his band have some of the funniest moments in the film. I also really liked Johnny Simmons as Needy's boyfriend Chase, and Kyle Gallner as one of the students who has his eye on Jennifer. After seeing so many movies centered around misogynistic high school boys, it's refreshing to see the roles reversed for a change as Jennifer is the one preying on the unsuspecting, innocent guys.

The bottom line: this isn't the worst move you'll ever see, but don't expect greatness. If you're interested enough to shell out $13 bucks for a ticket, you probably won't be disappointed - but I don't think you'll regret waiting for the DVD either.

Megan's Body Steps Out With Adam, Amanda, and Diablo in LA

Molly — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 07:45:00 -0700

Megan Fox was front and center at last night's Hot Topic-themed premiere of Jennifer's Body in LA. Her costars Adam Brody and Amanda Seyfried also joined their writer/director Diablo Cody on the red carpet, as did the band Panic at the Disco. Megan was without Brian Austin Green, who she recently revealed she sometimes threatens to stab - though I'm thinking some guys might withstand the punishment for a chance with her. The movie hits theaters tomorrow, and while Buzz's review won't be out until the morning, my favorite part was seeing cutie Adam Brody back on the big screen even if his character is a bit twisted.

Stunts and Stunners At The MTV VMA Show!

PopSugarUK — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 03:20:00 -0700

The guests at the MTV VMAs looked great on the red carpet last night, but let's not forget they were all there for the show and the awards! Russell Brand hosted the event, and was surprisingly not the one at the centre of controversy this morning, after Kanye West managed to be the one upsetting people at the event. After announcing that the winner for Best Female Video was Taylor Swift he interrupted her speech, saying: Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time." Beyonce later won Best Video of the Year and invited Taylor up on stage with her as she made her speech. Kanye was booed off stage and later asked to leave the event. He took to his blog to apologise to Taylor. Aside from that, both Beyonce and Taylor put on great performances, as did Green Day, Alicia Keys, Diddy, and Pink who rocked above the stage with a trapeze artist!

Stars Shimmer On The MTV VMA Red Carpet

PopSugarUK — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:01:11 -0700

New York was the place to be last night as the stars attended the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall! Russell Brand was asked back to host the awards for the second year in a row, and looked comfy in a cardigan as he posed for cameras before the show. A few of the ladies looked stunning in shimmering shades of silver and gold last night, including Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Leighton Meester, Jennifer Lopez and Kristin Cavallari. Alexa Chung looked gorgeous in her mini dress, while Beyonce Knowles wowed in bright red. NY Fashion Week is going on in the city at the moment, and Shakira and Pink had the ultimate fashion faux pas when they both showed up in the same dress. Eek! Twilight's Taylor Lautner, Adam Brody and Chace Crawford looked handsome in their classic suits, while Russell's buddy Diddy looked sharp in his, accompanied by two ladies!

Megan Fox strutted down the red carpet in a lacy black dress for the Jennifer's Body premiere at the Toronto Film Festival last night.

Amanda Seyfried looked lovely posing for photographers, while fellow costar Adam Brody chatted with lots of female fans. Leading lady Megan will continue her promotion for the flick when she takes the stage to host the premiere of SNL in two weeks.

Adam Brody Books It Around LA

PopSugar — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 07:45:00 -0700

Adam Brody gave his sunglasses a chew Wednesday on his way out of an LA bookstore. He's home in California again after some time in NY working on A Couple of Dicks with Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, though his first box office offering will be Jennifer's Body. We got a peek at Adam on the film set in all his wallet chained glory a year and a half ago, but we'll get to see the finished product on-screen when the movie's out on the 18th.
