London and Rome Host Film Stars Including Honest George

PopSugarUK — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:58:33 -0700

Several actors walked the red carpet this weekend at the London Film Festival and Rome Film Festival. Nicholas Hoult, Tom Ford, Colin Firth and Matthew Goode looked handsome in their suits at the premiere for A Single Man in London, and the capital also saw the premiere of Viggo Mortensen's The Road. Helen Mirren was in Rome for the The Last Station, and Terry Gilliam and Lily Cole were also in Italy for The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus premiere. Director Jason Reitman was in London for the premiere of Up in the Air on Sunday, having joined George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis for the Rome premiere the night before! As part of his promotion for his films, George has opened up about his relationships and growing old:

On relationships: "I’ve had some absolutely great relationships and some not so great relationships. I’ve been in some relationships where I’ve felt terribly alone. Just because you’re with someone it doesn’t mean you’re incredibly happy and complete. I’ve had some easy and natural, made-sense breakups as well as some rough ones. I deal with them the same way we all do: I’m successful with some and not so successful with others."
On getting older: "I’m kind of comfortable with getting older because it’s better than the other option, which is being dead. So I’ll take getting older. It’s an interesting thing to be able to watch yourself grow older on screen. I was watching Up In The Air and I thought, ‘Jesus, who’s the old, grey-haired guy?’ And it was me."

George also revealed he played a prank on Matt Damon to make his pal think he was gaining weight, and is working on a prank for his next victim Brad Pitt!

George Clooney Brings Jokes to a Fantastic LFF Opening

PopSugarUK — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:37:24 -0700

George Clooney changed out of his casual clothes into black tie for The Fantastic Mr Fox premiere at the opening of the London Film Festival in Leicester Square last night. He was joined by Elisabetta Canali, who wore a black outfit like Cindy Crawford and Myleene Klass, while Sophie Dahl matched her dress to the red carpet. Sophie's step-grandmother Felicity was also at the premiere, and said the author of the original book Roald Dahl would have loved it. Earlier in the day George attended a press conference at the Dorchester Hotel with his costars Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Jarvis Cocker and director Wes Anderson, and joked about adopting Brad Pitt's kids after Jarvis had to explain to him what "broody" meant

George Clooney Is Eyeing His Buddy Brad Pitt's Many Kids

Molly — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:33:59 -0700

George Clooney brought Elisabetta out for the premiere of The Fantastic Mr. Fox at the opening gala of the BFI Film Festival in London today. The two were joined by good friend Cindy Crawford as well as George's costar Jason Schwartzman. At this morning's press conference, George joked about playing the father fox on-screen, even saying he's looking to have some kids of his own. He said, "I'm going to adopt some of Brad Pitt's kids. I owe him a few," and talked about how much fun they had making the movie, "It was like going to camp. We were out in the middle of nowhere on people's farms, doing sound effects and rolling around in the fields." George still knows how to deflect questions about his love life and settling down, but it seems like Elisabetta is becoming a staple red carpet date as he moves his way through three movie's worth of promotion before December.

Movie Preview: Leo and Michelle in Scorsese's Shutter Island

BuzzSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:30:06 -0700

Within about 20 seconds of watching this trailer for Shutter Island, I had chills. By the time it was drawing to a scary, climactic close (and this is just the trailer, mind you) I was fully spooked. More than most frightening things, the idea of being trapped in an asylum (or a prison) as a presumably sane (or innocent) person disturbs me right to the bone.

Shutter Island takes place in 1954 when "U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels [Leonardo Dicaprio] is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals 'escape' in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity."

The movie opens Oct. 2. To check out the eerie-looking trailer, read more.

What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:30:08 -0700

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.

Elegy
Here's a movie with two well-respected actors in the lead roles that got very little attention when it came out (I wrote about it awhile back as part of my Ben Kingsley slideshow but barely heard anything about it after that). And interestingly, the movie was generally well-received by critics. Based on the cast and description, I'm totally intrigued.

Elegy is adapted from Philip Roth's novella The Dying Animal and follows David Kepesh (Ben Kingsley), a successful New York author in his 60s who's settled into the fact that he has a strained relationship with his son (Peter Sarsgaard) and a purely sexual relationship with a middle-aged businesswoman (Patricia Clarkson). His life is then unhinged by the arrival of Consuela Castillo (Cruz), a woman who enrolls in one of his classes.

Special features include commentary with screenwriter Nicholas Meyer and a featurette titled "The Poetry of Elegy."

One more pick this week, so read more.

Degrassi: The Next Generation: Season Seven
Before Shenae Grimes was smiling up a storm on the new 90210, she was on the new Degrassi, and now season seven is here for fans to own. I know a lot of fans of this teen drama reboot who will be stoked to pick up these DVDs.

According to Netlfix, the seventh season tackles heavy subject matter like smoking pot, suicide, sexual assault, - even cancer. Jeez! Also, "A fire at rival Lakehurst High means some new students are switching to Degrassi, forcing the gang to confront the aftermath of J.T.'s murder." So, murder too.

DVD extras include special commentary, bloopers, and deleted scenes.

Keira Shares the Spotlight With Rupert

The Men Are Suited And Booted On the Oscars Red Carpet

PopSugarUK — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:31:28 -0800

There were dashing men a-plenty on the Oscars red carpet yesterday, but just because they were all wearing suits doesn't mean there wasn't a little variation. The typical tuxedo and bow tie worked its magic on a bevy of handsome stars, including Zac Efron, Brad Pitt, Robert Pattinson, Dominic Cooper, Daniel Craig, Dev Patel and Seth Rogen. Meanwhile Best Actor winner Sean Penn went for all black, Phillip Seymour Hoffman did the same, while Mickey Rourke went for a cream suit, black waistcoat and accessorised with a necklace carrying the image of his recently deceased dog. Aww!

Couples Galore Join Elton on Oscars Night

PopSugarUK — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:08:59 -0800

Lots of stars from our side of the pond joined their fellow British celebrity Elton John for his 17th Annual AIDS Foundation Oscars Party at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood last night. It was certainly an evening for couples, with Jordan and Peter Andre rubbing shoulders with Gordon and Tana Ramsay, who are putting their recent troubles behind them. American and British unions were also represented by Claire Danes and her fiance Hugh Dancy plus Mamma Mia costars and couple Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper.

There were also lots of pairs of buddies at the party, with BFFs Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria coordinating their all-black outfits while Eve and Dita Von Teese showed off their bright dresses. American Idol pals Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson hugged while Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour proved they're still close. Some of my favourite men like Chace Crawford, Kiefer Sutherland and Gerard Butler were happy to pose alone, as were female stars like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kate Beckinsale and Carrie Underwood.

To see loads more pictures from the party, including Chace Crawford, Chris Noth, Elton John, David Furnish, Elle Macpherson, Eric McCormack, Kiefer Sutherland, Natasha Bedingfield, Natasha Henstridge, Tamara Mellon, Ben Kingsley, Carrie Underwood, Gerard Butler, Ben Stiller, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kate Beckinsale and Whoopi Goldberg, read more.

Dozens of stars turned out for the South Bank Show Awards at London's Dorchester Hotel yesterday. Sophie-Ellis Bextor covered her baby bump with a pretty dress, and Emilia Fox also went floral as she made her first public appearance since announcing her divorce last week. Strictly Come Dancing's Arlene Phillips and John Sergeant put the past behind them and smiled together, and runner-up Rachel Stevens grinned wide even though it looks like Michelle Ryan will be the new Doctor Who assistant: previous assistant Freema Agyeman was also at the ceremony. Gavin & Stacey's Joanna Page, James Corden and Rob Brydon rubbed shoulders with lovely Will Young and Jason Donovan. We can see the fun of the show next Wednesday on ITV1.
