Hilary Duff And Mike Comrie Are Married!


Normally I'm up to date with all the latest celebrity news, but this one caught me off guard! i knew they were engaged, but last night as i was watching Kourtney and Khole take Miami, and i read the E! marquee at the bottom of the page, it completely shocked me ! i was happy for her! congrats!]

Looks like "Cinderella Story's" Hilary Duff lived out her own fairytale this weekend, when she tied the knot in an intimate (but tres romantic!) ceremony with beau, 29-year-old Canadian hockey player Mike Comrie in Montecito, California.

According to US Weekly, Hilary (who btw is only 22!), rocked a strapless Vera Wang gown down a candle lit aisle with sister Haylie as her maid of honor.


"Mike held his arm around Hilary for most of the romantic, candlelit ceremony, and they both looked extremely happy," an eyewitness told People magazine. Cute!

The pair dated for about two years before making it official in front of about 100 guests. In fact, when we caught up with Hilary in the months leading up to the wedding she said that the couple was hoping to have a small wedding — even though Mike was pretty much up for everything. She said he was far from a groomzilla.

"I think that If I had it all figured out tomorrow, he'd be like 'Great! Let's go!'" Hilary told Hollywood Crush in April. You never know! I could always turn into a bridezilla later on!"

Well, even if that was the case, all the zilla-ing tactics definitely paid off because the wedding sounds gorg!

'Entourage' Series Finale in 2011: How Should It End?


LOVVEE LOOVVEE this show and im sad to see it coming to an end. I will admit i haven't been watching the new season so i have a lot to catch up on. Vince and the boys will be missed.

Over the weekend HBO announced that Entourage will officially come to an end next year. The show, currently in its seventh season, will end after season 8 during the summer of 2011. However, movie possibilities beyond that, similar to what HBO did with Sex and the City, are still a possibility.

During the Television Critics Association press tour, HBO programming president Michael Lombardo revealed that the current plan is to have one more shortened final season, possibly limiting season 8 to as few as six episodes.

With the possibility of a film, it will be interesting to see how Entourage decides to end so that it's a satisfying conclusion while still leaving the door open for more stories. Currently Entourage is heading now a surprisingly topical path with movie star Vincent Chase pulling a Lindsay Lohan, going off the rails.

The character is getting drunk in the morning, passing out naked by his pool and dating a porn star. The show also seems oddly prescient with a storyline where one of Ari's former agents is blackmailing him by releasing tapes of his offensive rants to the media. These scenes were filmed prior to the Mel Gibson debacle, which makes the show very up-to-date.

Ideally, I'd like to see Entourage go out on either a huge high or a deep low. Vincent should either win an Oscar or go to jail, a la Robert Downey Jr. Or both. The most refreshing part of the season 7 storyline is that Vincent's life has always been a little too picture-perfect, and showing that the excesses of fame and fortune can lead to your downfall is a lot more entertaining than seeing a happy-go-lucky, good-looking, rich movie star.

But more importantly, Johnny Drama needs to win something. There is no more pathetic character on TV than Drama, a constantly frustrated second banana who has everything taken away from him at the last possible second.

'Inception' Destroys The 'Schmucks' At The Weekend Box Office


LETS TRY THIS AGAIN. HAHAHA AND HOPEFULLY THIS TIME YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE AND HAVE ALREADY CREATED YOUR OWN OPINION OF THE MOVIES.

The Box-Office Top Five

#1 "Inception" ($27.5 million)
#2 "Dinner for Schmucks" ($23.3 million)
#3 "Salt" ($19.3 million)
#4 "Despicable Me" ($15.5 million)
#5 "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" ($12.5 million)

July faded away and August roared into view this past weekend, and judging by the weekend's relatively low box office numbers moviegoers apparently had summer plans that didn't involve heading to the local cinema. Surrounded by three soft openings from newcomers, Christopher Nolan's "Inception" once again proved that successful original action films this summer are more than just a pipe dream.



The fourth movie of the year to spend three weekends in first place, "Inception" earned an estimated $27.5 million at the domestic box office this weekend, raising its total gross to $193.3 million after opening 17 days ago. Having already cleared its reported production budget of $160 million with domestic dollars alone, "Inception" is also a success abroad; overseas performances add up to a $363.3 million worldwide total.

Beyond "Inception," three new movies premiered at the box office with varying degrees of disappointment. "Dinner for Schmucks" was the best-performing of the three, arriving in second place with $23.3 million. A remake of the 1998 French film "Le Dîner de Cons," the Jay Roach-directed "Schmucks" marked a personal best opening for Paul Rudd in a leading role.

"Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" didn't fare nearly as well, drawing a mere $12.5 million fifth-place finish, with slightly over half of that total earned from 3-D screenings. "Kitty Galore" was a significant step down from its "Cats & Dogs" predecessor, which arrived in theaters to the tune of $21.7 million in 2001.

Rounding out the weekend's major releases was "Charlie St. Cloud," the Zac Efron-starring drama from Universal Pictures. The movie amassed $12.1 million this weekend for a respectable but unremarkable sixth-place finish.

The weekend's third and fourth place slots were occupied by "Salt" and "Despicable Me," respe

inception!


AMAZING MOVIE! I LOOVEED IT QAND I WOULD WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. HAHA SO IM NIT SURE WHAT THIS REVIEW SAYS BUT I RECOMMEND YOU WATCH IT. I LOVED IT ITS BASICLLY TOP 5 MOVIES ALREADY.

It was one the greatest movies of all time, until it wasn't.

Several weeks before it appeared in theaters, Christopher Nolan's "Inception" picked up some of the most flowery hosannas bestowed on a film in many months. A select mix of critics, film awards columnists and online movie bloggers who'd seen early advance screenings rained down unanimous compliments.

But as the film neared its public debut Friday, that unanimity crumbled. Several influential mainstream critics declared themselves less than enthralled.

Ambitious films — and as a wholly original concept sprung from the fertile mind of writer-director Nolan, "Inception" is indisputably ambitious — frequently divide critics. But the swing here was sharper than usual and was enough to perplex the average filmgoer.

"There seems to be a tidal phenomenon going on — the wave went one way, and then it went another," says Salon critic Andrew O'Hehir, who with a lukewarm review was part of the second wave. "I almost want a social scientist to come in and analyze it, because those of us in the middle of it would like to understand it."

Anticipation for "Inception" had been building for months. It is Nolan's first feature since the hugely popular and critically lauded Batman film "The Dark Knight" in 2008, and in an era in which studio movies increasingly stick to familiar subject matter, here was a storyline — a tortured hero named Dom Cobb ( Leonardo DiCaprio) leads a team of dream invaders on a risky mission — that defied convention.

In that first wave of reviews, Kirk Honeycutt at the trade paper Hollywood Reporter said "Inception" puts Nolan "at the top of the heap of sci-fi all-stars." Online columnists were even more frothy, canonizing the film with the likes of the Alfred Hitchcock classic "Vertigo" and Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey."

"A film like nothing you have ever seen before.... This could be the film to solidify the director's place among the modern masters," proclaimed pundit Kris Tapley on the film-awards site In Contention. A "Kubrickian masterpiece with heart," declared Anne Thompson at Indiewire.

But as critics from large consumer outlets began weighing in last week, the current shifted. Reviewers from the Wall Street Journal, Salon, New York Magazine, Slate and the New York Times all registered deep reservations about the film, criticizing, among other things, its triumph of the technical and conceptual over the narrative and the emotional. "For the most part, 'Inception' is a handsome, clever and grindingly self-serious boy-movie, shorn of imagination, libido, spirituality or emotional depth," wrote O'Hehir in Salon. "[T]hough there is a lot to see in 'Inception,' there is nothing that counts as genuine vision," tweaked A.O. Scott in the New York Times. "The emperor's new bed-clothes," declared the Wall Street Journal's John Anderson.

There were also a number of mainstream critics who exalted the film. The Los Angeles Times' Kenneth Turan and the Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert were among those who were warmly enthusiastic, with Turan calling it "a tremendously exciting science-fiction thriller that's as disturbing as it sounds." (Audiences also embraced "Inception"; the movie grossed a studio-estimated $60.4 million over its opening weekend.)

But overall, the film lost a good fraction of its cachet. A 100% "fresh" rating on the review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes early last week had, by the weekend, fallen to 83%. It's telling, too that the site's "Top Critics," which tend to represent the most influential reviewers, were a number of points off that mean — they approved only at a rate of 76%. Those are enviable figures for most films but a notch below the best-reviewed movies of the summer, such as "Toy Story 3" and "The Kids Are All Right."

The polarity between the first and second group of reviews, experts say, may in part reflect the differences between Web and print culture. "There's a tendency in the blogosphere and maybe in American culture at large to take anything new and either detest or adore it," says Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips, who gave the movie a qualified endorsement of three stars stars out of five. "What I think some of the critics are trying to do is bring an element of nuance."

"We live in an era when there's a tendency to overvalue anything that's even slightly good. In another era I don't know if we'd see gushing enthusiasm," says David Ansen, the longtime Newsweek critic and current artistic director of the Los Angeles Film Festival.

The schedule of the pre-release rollout may have also played a part in the shift. The constituencies for which a studio advance screens a movie, and at what intervals, are as calibrated a part of a movie's release strategy as on which television program to buy advertising time.

In a series of tiered screenings, the studio showed it first to many of the online columnists who rightly or not are often characterized as not bringing the same level of scrutiny to a film as more veteran critics, judging it instead by the standard of whether it's smarter than many of its summer-movie counterparts. (One of the few print critics of note to see the film in this first tier was Rolling Stone's Peter Travers, known for being one of the more generous of print reviewers. He went on to proclaim "Inception" "the mind-blowing movie event of the summer," a quote Warner Bros. promptly used in its television spots.)

But such a strategy also poses risks. Too much early buzz can stir contrarian feelings in those who see it later — even perhaps rigorously independent critics. "Any individual critic is going to say they're evaluating the movie on its own terms," O'Hehir says. "But I think in the aggregate this larger phenomenon does come into play, especially with a Chris Nolan or Jim Cameron [writer-director of "Avatar" and "Titanic"] who can divide critics. I don't know if it's conscious or unconscious, but I think there is this thing where some of us go into a movie spoiling for a fight."

Ansen put it this way: "I think many of the observations would have been the same, but the tone might have been different."

Indeed, one of the unusual characteristics of the "Inception" debate has been critics evaluating the film in the context of other reviews. "I truly have no idea what so many people are raving about. It's as if someone went into their heads while they were sleeping and planted the idea that 'Inception' is a visionary masterpiece," wrote David Edelstein in his New York Magazine review, adding "Slap! Wake up, people! Shalalala! Slap!"

Among other factors, say pundits, many of those in the early wave might have also been using a weaker frame of reference.

Ansen says the people who see it first "maybe feel like they want to help make a movie, and then critics come in later and grade that down."

Many students of film criticism point out that this cycle isn't new — it's just faster.

"Dwight Macdonald noticed this phenomenon years ago: The daily critics say the obvious thing. The weekly critics feel inspired to correct them. The monthly critics set themselves up as adjudicators," Ebert said in an e-mail, citing the 20th century editor, critic and essayist. "Of course, with the Internet, this process takes only a weekend."

'Eclipse' Lights Up July 4th Weekend Box Office


The Box-Office Top Five

#1 "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" ($82.5 million)
#2 "The Last Airbender" ($53.3 million)
#3 "Toy Story 3" ($42.2 million)
#4 "Grown Ups" ($25.9 million)
#5 "Knight and Day" ($13.8 million)

Whether you're on Team Edward or Team Jacob, "Twilight" fans of all shapes, sizes and loyalties flocked to theaters this weekend to award the supernatural franchise's latest installment, "Eclipse," with the first-place prize at the Fourth of July holiday weekend box office.

"Eclipse" took an estimated $82.5 million from Friday through Sunday, resulting in a $175.3 million cumulative total since opening on Wednesday (June 30). Having established new Hollywood records for widest-ever opening release, best midnight debut and single greatest Wednesday premiere, "Eclipse" was unable to eclipse its own predecessor's success — "New Moon" remains the "Twilight" franchise's champion with an opening weekend total of $178 million. Despite this, there's no denying that "Eclipse" is already a huge hit, having surpassed its own production budget by more than $200 million thanks to the $100.2 million earned from foreign locations.

Even as "Eclipse" easily took first place, director M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" managed a solid second-place finish worth $53.3 million, resulting in a cumulative total of $70.5 million since opening on Thursday. Those opening numbers aren't as impressive when measured against the film's reported $150 million production budget, but given the massive amount of critical backlash levied at "The Last Airbender," the movie actually performed rather well under the circumstances.

"Toy Story 3" landed in third place with $42.2 million, bringing Pixar's latest to a massive $451.9 million worldwide total after only three weeks in theaters. Fourth and fifth place went to last weekend's newcomers "Grown Ups" and "Knight and Day" with $25.9 million and $13.8 million, respectively.

Upcoming Releases

Adrien Brody tries his hand as an action hero this coming weekend in producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimrod Antal's "Predators," while Steve Carell and Jason Segel battle it out in superhero comedy "Despicable Me."

'Eclipse': The Reviews Are In!


SOOO who went to watch Eclipse last night at midnight?? i was going to go but the truth was that i was just too tired.. i had been traveling all day and didn't make the trio with my sister"s i got their reviews this morning .. and they LLOOVVED it and said they would see it again. soo now i didn't read this article but i mean I'm sure we all have out opinions.


Would it be an exaggeration to say "Eclipse" is the most polarizing film of the year so far?

In one corner, you have the Twilighters lining up outside theaters across the country to be among the first to check out the latest romance-laden adventure starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. Those fans will line up again and again before the weekend is over, likely bringing "Eclipse" an opening box-office haul to match, if not exceed, the $142.8 million that "New Moon" grossed in November. In the other corner, you've got the skeptics, the who-watches-this-crap haters and the bloggers taking to the Web to spew vitriol at every moment of teen romance "Eclipse" has to offer.

There will be no détente for these two camps; the gap between them as unbridgeable as anything on today's pop-culture landscape. Critics on both sides of the Twi-divide have weighed in on the third installment of the vampire franchise, and MTV News checks out what some of them had to say.

Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly does an excellent job of trying to get the fans and the haters to see eye to eye. "The 'Twilight' movies, like the books on which they're based, are often mocked," he wrote. "But that's only because we're still, on some level, getting used to the novelty of a highly contemporary blockbuster saga that's this rooted in old-fashioned, borderline masochistic girlish romantic rapture. The movie version of 'Eclipse,' with its dueling boy-monster hunks — a chaste orgy of male gazing — revels in the power that Bella experiences by giving herself over to the powerlessness of love. The movie is about a girl's primal dream of being desired. That may well be corny, but it's also an essential antidote to summer-movie hardware."

Of course, not all reviews are as generous about what they see as the film's abundant shortcomings. Take MTV News' own Kurt Loder: "[N]ew director David Slade is still stuck with the story — which, deriving as it does from the paceless goop of Stephenie Meyer's books, and having been wrestled into a script by Melissa Rosenberg, is a threadbare quilt of pre-teen romantic clichés padded out unconscionably with long character flashbacks and rambling dialogue that's deader than any of the vampires in attendance," Loder said. "(The picture runs two hours, and might have been more enjoyable — and certainly less exasperating — if it had been cut down into a one-hour TV special.)"

Salon.com's Andrew O'Hehir approached the film with an open mind and found some fanboy pleasure to be had up onscreen. "It's a geek-friendly genre flick, with plenty of CGI effects and fight sequences, along with extended detours into the back stories of rural Washington's undead and shape-shifter populations, and the tense relationship between them," he offered. "Melissa Rosenberg's screenplay even has a few flashes of comedy, and develops an emotional power that goes far beyond the depressive, lovesick languor of 'New Moon.' "

What of the castmembers' performances? Opinion, predictably, is split, with some slamming the big three and others applauding the young actors for giving their best effort yet in the series.

"There is a new tenderness and sweetness that Stewart brings to her relationships — more playful with Pattinson, more affectionate with [Billy] Burke (especially when Charlie tries to have 'the sex talk'), and more intense with Lautner," wrote Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times. "Bella doesn't want to let down anyone, and Stewart makes sure she doesn't. But it's Lautner, in particular, who has grown, giving Jacob an emotional interior nearly as hard-packed as those abs, which are very much on display."

We'll give the final word to one of the film's true fans. "Sure, the book itself is a fan favorite," a reviewer wrote on TwilightMoms.com. "How could its visual counterpart not be entertaining with the leg hitch, the tent scene, and all the grandiose displays of outrageous vampire and werewolf skills? I must say, however, that it wasn't just those scenes that blew me away, it was the film in general. The Cullens are cooler, the wolves wolfier and the acting supreme. This visual experience is not just a fan treat, it's a full-on dessert potluck of Twilight movie-goodness. And you will walk away feeling like you just feasted."

Now that you've seen "Eclipse," tell us what you thought of the movie. Share your reviews in the comments!

Actress Amanda Bynes Retires at the Age of 24


Actress Amanda Bynes says she is ready to retire from Hollywood completely at the age of 24.

Taking to her Twitter page to express her disgust with the industry, the former Nickelodeon star said “Being an actress isn’t as fun as it may seem.”

“If I don’t love something anymore, I stop doing it,” Bynes wrote. “I don’t love acting anymore, so I’ve stopped doing it.”

SLIDESHOW: The Lovely and Talented Amanda Bynes

After working on such shows as “All That,” “The Amanda Show” and her own sitcom “What I Like About You,” Bynes made the transition to film, appearing in “She’s the Man” and “What a Girl Wants.”

But after her latest film “Easy A,” which hits theaters this fall, Bynes said, “I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I’ve #retired.”

Bynes further complained about her image in roles, saying “I’ve never written the movies & tv shows I’ve been a part of. I’ve only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play.”

A rep for the star has not officially confirmed the Twitter announcement.

Hollywood Hopes ‘Toy Story 3’ Can Spur Summer Sales


Grumpy moviegoers have left the film business trying to dig itself out of a summer slump after a series of big-budget disappointments and the lack of a single blockbuster comedy.

Memorial Day weekend attendance was the lowest since 1993. Box office receipts for the next weekend plunged 24 percent compared with the same weekend a year earlier.

Sony’s remake of “The Karate Kid” sold a surprisingly strong $56 million in North America over the last three days, landing firmly in first place, but a much more expensive adaptation of “The A-Team” from 20th Century Fox fizzled with $26 million.

It was enough to put this weekend up 11 percent over the same one last year, according to Hollywood.com, which tracks ticket data. But total domestic box office revenue since early May — when “Iron Man 2” opened with a bang — has fallen about 6.4 percent, to $1.02 billion, from $1.09 billion in the period a year earlier, according to Hollywood.com.

So it will take more than a robust performance from “The Karate Kid” to truly kick-start Hollywood’s summer, the period between early May and Labor Day that typically accounts for 40 percent of annual ticket sales. Indeed, now comes the hard part: convincing turned-off consumers that studios have held back the good stuff.

The best chance for studios to prove that the down cycle has actually broken, box office analysts and others say, is the arrival on Friday of “Toy Story 3,” starring Buzz Lightyear and pals. It is the long-anticipated third installment (this time in 3-D) in a series that helped Pixar establish computer-animated family fare as the film industry’s most reliable moneymaker.

“Toy Story 2” opened with more than $75 million in 1999, when adjusted for inflation. Hollywood hopes the follow-up will handily beat that total, delivering the kind of opening weekend tally that the industry expects from its big-budget, heavily marketed releases.

Still, it may be tough to win back the favor of an audience that has been trained to expect more than Hollywood has delivered in the last few weeks. One danger is that potential filmgoers tend to overlook a next round of pictures when they did not like the last batch.

“It’s all about changing their mood,” Dennis Rice, a marketing consultant who previously ran Disney’s publicity operation, said of the entertainment business.

Kevin Goetz, chief executive of Screen Engine, a marketing and research consulting firm that specializes in entertainment, says viewers increasingly reserve their ticket purchases for pictures that promise something truly special, whether that means amazing visual effects or extraordinary reviews.

“If you don’t have a product that delivers in a unique and powerful way, then certainly the messaging has to do that,” Mr. Goetz said.

A variety of other factors may be holding back the box office, including blowback from consumers over higher ticket prices. Perversely, the improving economy may have taken the edge off ticket sales that were buoyed last year, when filmgoers sought a relatively cheap diversion from financial woes.

But the primary reason is most likely ho-hum movies. In the last few weeks, Hollywood’s offerings have lacked luster. “Sex and the City 2” got some of the worst reviews in memory for Warner Brothers, while “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” from Walt Disney was received with a collective shrug.

New comedies like “Killers” from Lionsgate and “Get Him to the Greek” from Universal Pictures registered barely a blip when compared with “The Hangover,” the spring-summer comic juggernaut of 2009.

And for all the talk about a 3-D revolution, only one major 3-D film, the hit “Shrek Forever After,” from DreamWorks Animation, has been released since May. At least four 3-D movies, including “The Last Airbender” from Paramount and “Despicable Me” from Universal, are still on deck for the summer.

But those will arrive without the momentum that powered last year, when eight action fantasies and animated films topped $150 million each at the spring-summer box office. They were led by four — “Up,” “Star Trek,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” — that had already been released by this point in the year.

“Yes, there seems to be a slump,” acknowledged Tom Sherak, who is a consultant for Marvel Entertainment and president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — and is generally known as an industry cheerleader.

Mtv Movie Awards 2010


As most of you already know the MTV movie awards were on last night and we all know they are filled with corny , racy and sexual jokes that we just cant help but not laugh at. unfortunately i didn't get to watch! i only saw a few parts here and there but I'm sure it will be playing over and over so hopefully i get a chance to watch it sometime this week. I'll be completely honest i wasn't really that into watching it.. and as i suspected of course new moon took all the wards but I'm curious to see the kiss between scarlet jo and Sandra bullock haha. long article but lots of detail about the night.


The MTV Movie Awards are known for making twenty-somethings like me (and thirty-somethings like you) feel pretty old. The red carpet is always filled with young-bloods who have more hair and muscle mass than we do, and the movies honored are the ones we pretended to have swine flu so we'd get out of having to take our nieces to see them. Of course there's the occasional recognizable figure to get us through such an unimportant award show, like the all-star Betty White and Sandra Bullock (who we recently found out happens to have been married to a Nazi! Imagine that!).

Other than those two forces, if you spent two hours folding your laundry instead of watching the MTV Movie Awards, you deserve a full scholarship to Harvard or a Ferrari. Because you're a better person than I am...with way more clean clothes.

I'm sure deep down you're wondering what you missed, but you're too embarrassed to ask any of your friends if they caught the show. It's actually okay, because it turns out...you can see what you missed right here! On this very page of the Internet! No need to drill around from website to website, looking for the best clips from the award show you missed (where the trophy is non-edible popcorn) simply because you had a conversation with your wife or fed your kids. We at Hollywood.com salute heroes like you, who had to forgo watching Scarlett Johansson kiss Sandra Bullock in real time because your dog wanted to go outside and walk behind the ice-cream truck for awhile.

First, we saw Ken Jeong (who used to be a doctor, actually...as in a person who gets your heart to start beating again) and Ed Helms sing about the subject matter of tigers dreams, which if you might recognize from their movie, "The Hangover." But it was coldly interrupted by a Tom Cruise-looking (get it?) Les Grossman, who then appeared on stage and grinded with Jennifer Lopez. But not before making it clear he has the dancing skills of a light bulb. It was kind of great.

Then, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson won "Best Kiss" for the tonsil hockey they played in "New Moon." Typically, the winners of this award are supposed to reenact the kiss when they're holding their faux-gold box of metallic popcorn. However, KStew and RPatzz hate fame and refuse to do anything the way they're supposed to. So instead, they did this little song and dance, which was even more fake than any movie where baby geniuses talk or spend a day out in New York City without getting run over by a city bus.

Next, Katy Perry performed "California Gurls." Eh, well. Her day-glo clothes are cool and LED-lit glasses were pretty sweet. But other than that, it wasn't bamboozling. But people are talking about it, so you should see for yourself. It was kind of like what would happen if the Beach Boys sniffed lots of highlighters and decided to become Cher impersonators.

Then Christina Aguilera sang a mashup of "Bionic," "Not Myself Tonight" and "Woohoo." Now I don't know about you, but I much prefer the "Lady Marmalade" and "Dirrty" Christina to this one, who seems to be addicted to laser tag and "Iron Man" movies.

And finally, the moment you've all been waiting for, Sandra Bullock's acceptance of the "MTV Generation Award." It's just like those young people to refer to us middle-aged people (note: I'm not even close to being middle aged) using old terms like "pre-seatbelt era" and "generational." In what must be an attempt to counter those ageist words, Sandra Bullock plants a nice wet one on Scarlett Johansson, a la the closeted nyphomaniac on her spring break vacation to Cancun! Oh Sandy. Don't let MTV or your Nazi ex-husband get you down. You're as young as ever.

Twitter Campaign Wants 'Community' Actor to Be First Non-White Spider-Man


Could the movies soon have the first African American Spider-Man?

If thousands of Twitter users get their way, the star of Sony's upcoming reboot of the franchise will be Donald Glover, best known from his role on NBC's "Community." This weekend the Twitter hashtag "donald4spiderman" became the #3 trending topic in the U.S., and the campaign is still gaining steam.

The origins of this latest attempt by social media users to influence casting decisions occurred last week. After surveying the five mostly unknown white actors said to be vying for the role, Marc Bernadin, a writer for the sci-fi site io9.com, called the choices "bland" and asked, "In this day and age, why does Spidey have to be a white guy?" In response, commenters threw out Donald Glover's name as a possible contender, and a Twitter campaign was born.

A unique aspect of this latest fan campaign is its wholehearted support by the subject in question. Glover seems to like the idea (though he makes it clear on his Twitter page that he's interested in auditioning, not just being handed the role without first having to prove his worthiness). While he had nothing to do with its inception, Glover himself has been promoting the campaign, instructing fans to tweet the #donald4spiderman hash tag at strategic times to keep it trending.

In years past, an Internet petition of this kind might not be given much credence, but given the overwhelming success of the recent social-media uprising to get Betty White a hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live," this could be Glover's ticket to director Marc Webb's tryout room. He and his fans will have to act fast, though: The Hollywood Reporter is already forecasting the five most likely contenders for the role, and Glover is not on the list


Glover, a comedian and former writer for "30 Rock," has starred in only one movie so far: "Mystery Team," a comedy he co-created with his sketch comedy team, Derrick Comedy, which came out in 2009.

One hurdle Glover's fans will have is in his presumed bankability as a movie star: "Mystery Team" brought in a meager $89.4 thousand in domestic box-office sales.

No Longer ‘Lost,’ but Still Searching


As the final two and a half hours of “Lost” unspooled on Sunday night, Desmond and Jack walked into a cave for the final showdown with evil, and Desmond said, “This doesn’t matter, him destroying the island, you destroying him.” Jack, serious to the end, replied, “All of this matters.”

It was the sort of thesis-antithesis, drama-of-ideas moment that the show had always specialized in. The problem was that several hours later, after the show’s mystical, walk-into-the-white-light ending, it was Desmond who would be proved more right. The battle Jack was about to engage in with the monster inhabiting the body of John Locke mattered in the way that the proper placement of X’s and Y’s matters in an equation — meaning on “Lost” always having been largely abstract, as if it were a product of flow charts rather than imagination.

But when the entire island story line we had been following for six seasons turned out not to matter very much within the internal organization of the show’s narrative — to be largely disconnected from that final quasi-religious resolution of the plot — it was deflating, despite the warm feelings the finale otherwise inspired.

Most of the post-mortem discussion of the finale will involve parsing and grading that final 10-minute sequence. Before conducting our own analysis, however, let’s talk about the previous 140 minutes of “The End.”

It’s not uncommon — in fact, it’s probably the norm — for successful television shows to soften up as the seasons pass and viewers (and creators) get more attached to characters and more personally invested in how stories play out. It happened this season with “Lost,” and it reached its apogee on Sunday night in an episode that was largely a pleasant, nostalgic wallow for the show’s fans.

Tonally, the episode was dominated by the sentimental machinations of the sideways story line, where Desmond continued to act as a sort of spiritual mother hen or reunion organizer: gathering his flock of characters and leading them to reclaim their memories of the island, one after another, like nonbelievers seeing the light at a tent meeting.

Some of those moments were expertly orchestrated and very moving. Sun and Jin, whose memories were unlocked when they saw an ultrasound image of their baby, Ji-yeon, suddenly were able to speak English again, a plot trick that has always worked. Sawyer and Juliet touched fingers over a candy bar and jumped back as if from an electric shock. Jack’s final memory montage, when he saw all the moments in which he had raced to save others, was lovely.

Meanwhile, the island story, in keeping with a season-long trend, was eventful but strangely thrill-free.

The production crew was never able to make the cave holding the all-important, island-binding golden light look more impressive than a water ride at a cheap amusement park, and it was a major problem that the scenes of Desmond and Jack lugging various stones around the sacred pool inspired giggles rather than awe.

“The End” exemplified how pedestrian the action in “Lost” became over the years, a falloff that began even in Season 1. There was nothing to make you tense up in the scenes of Jack and Locke fighting on the cliff or of boulders rolling around as the island threatened to disintegrate. (One exception: Kate telling Sawyer “I’ll see you at the boat” and leaping off the cliff into the ocean. But that’s a hard scene to mess up.)

Now let’s get back to the ending of “The End,” in which the big reveal was that Jack Shephard, to all appearances a divorced father and successful surgeon in the sideways universe, was in fact dead. So were all the other Losties who had gathered in the church. The scenario was cleverly constructed to remove the possibility that they had been dead all along (a possibility I erroneously considered, and blogged about, before rewatching the scene), or that any of the events on the island or in the off-island lives of the Oceanic 6 had been other than real.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Have 'Gotten Better At Hiding'


I was going to post an Iron Man. vs . robin hood article but since i love the twilight series i couldn't help but post this one because i want to know.. are they or aren't they?!

Last week on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Robert Pattinson joked that the truth about his are-they-or-aren't-they relationship with Kristen Stewart is that she's pregnant. Responded KStew, "He really loves to shock people because he thinks it's funny."

That sort of charged banter between the two "Twilight" stars speaks to one of the biggest mysteries behind the scenes of the vampire franchise: No one really knows if Pattinson and Stewart are dating. And that relationship ambiguity has only increased now that photos of the two out in public together are harder to come by.

"I don't know if this is the actual reason why, but we have gotten better at hiding over the last year," Pattinson told USA Today directly after the "Oprah" taping.

"That's totally the reason," Stewart added. "They just make up a story to go along with the pictures. If they never get the picture, there's no story. We are just good hiders now."

It's surprising, to some extent, that she would even address any aspect of her relationship with Pattinson. Earlier this month, Stewart told Elle, "I would never cheapen my relationships by talking about them." And last year, she slammed the romance rumors by saying, "I probably would've answered it if people hadn't made such a big deal about it. But I'm not going to give the fiending an answer. I know that people are really funny about 'Well, you chose to be an actor, why don't you just f---ing give your whole life away?! Can I have your firstborn child?' "

Yet the speculation continues, perhaps with good reason. The USA Today article notes that for a portion of the interview, Stewart placed her hand on Pattinson's leg. Casual gesture or flirty signal? She also happens to know quite a bit about the more intimate material in Pattinson's upcoming film, "Bel Ami," in which he shares heated scenes with Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci.

"[T]hey're not like typical love scenes at all," Pattinson said.


Do you think Kristen and Robert are together? Is it any of our business? Sound off in the comments.

Reality starlet pleads to burglarizing Bloom house



By ANTHONY McCARTNEY
The Associated Press
Monday, May 10, 2010; 2:26 PM

LOS ANGELES -- A reality starlet accused of burglarizing Orlando Bloom's house pleaded no contest Monday to felony burglary and was sentenced to up to six months in county jail after reaching a deal with prosecutors.

Alexis Neiers, 18, an aspiring model who has been the subject of the E! Entertainment Television reality show "Pretty Wild," entered the plea shortly before her trial was slated to begin. Bloom, star of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings" film franchises, had been expected to testify.

As part of the deal, Neiers was sentenced to three years of formal probation and six months in county jail for the July break-in. She also agreed to stay away from Bloom and his Hollywood Hills home.

She will begin serving her sentence June 24. She had rejected plea deals that required jail time but was facing up to six years in state prison if convicted at trial.

She could be sent to state prison for two years if she violates probation, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza said.

"After lengthy considerations and fighting the best pretrial fight we could, we decided it was in Alexis' best interests to take responsibility for her small part in this incident," her attorney Jeffery K. Rubenstein said.


Neiers is among six people accused of targeting homes of celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Rachel Bilson and stealing millions in jewelry, clothing and other luxury goods.

Some of the items pilfered from Bloom's home, including two expensive watches, have not been recovered. Neiers may be responsible for part of up to $680,000 in restitution that may be ordered to be paid in the case, but her share may also be deemed minimal.

Three of the other people charged in the burglary at Bloom's home have not yet gone to trial. Neiers told police she was drunk when she went to the house and didn't take anything there.

Rubenstein said Neiers is planning to move on with her life and will not have any involvement in the other burglary cases.

Rubenstein said Bloom's expected testimony was a factor in Neiers' plea.

"Orlando Bloom's willingness to come testify did not help our case," Rubenstein said. He added that prosecutors appeared to have enough evidence to convict Neiers.

"We thought this was a just result," Deputy District Attorney Sarika Kim said after the hearing.

A preliminary hearing for the remaining defendants is scheduled for May 25.

Playboy's Hugh Hefner helps rescue Hollywood sign


Good morning. its may! wow this year has gone by sooo fast its not even funny. Aww Hef is soo sweet! and always shared a love classic Hollywood icons.

Reuters) - Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner on Monday donated the last $900,000 sought by a conservation group for a land purchase needed to save the famed vista of the Hollywood sign from being spoiled by development.

U.S. | People

Hefner's key role in reaching the group's fund-raising goal was announced by Los Angeles city officials, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and the San Francisco-based Trust for Public Land at a news conference in the Hollywood Hills.

The land trust needed to collect a total of $12.5 million by this Friday under a deal with a group of Chicago investors who bought the 1,820-foot (555-meter) ridge, called Cahuenga Peak, from the estate of billionaire Howard Hughes in 2002.

The trust will now purchase the 138-acre (56-hectare) adjacent parcel and turn it over to the city to be incorporated into the surrounding Griffith Park, preventing any construction that would mar the postcard-perfect view of the Hollywood sign nearby.

"My childhood dreams and fantasies came from the movies, and the images created in Hollywood had a major influence on my life and Playboy," Hefner said in a statement. "As I've said before, the Hollywood sign is Hollywood's Eiffel Tower and I'm pleased to help preserve such an important cultural landmark."

Other private donors to the Hollywood sign preservation effort included actor Tom Hanks and director Steven Spielberg, the land trust said.

'Kick-Ass' Sequel In Jeopardy After Weak Opening?


Despite the lack of an A-list star in the title role or a long-established fanbase, "Kick-Ass" seemed set to hit the #1 box-office spot over the weekend and launch the start of a new comic book movie franchise. But instead of fulfilling projections that fell in the $25-30 million range, "Kick-Ass" didn't quite cross the $20 million plateau by Sunday night, and now the green light for a sequel seems far from certain.

That's quite a turnaround from weeks and months past, when "Kick-Ass" director Matthew Vaughn and stars Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz talked of their plans for a sequel.

"We have an idea for the sequel. We have a lot of options," Vaughn told MTV News at South by Southwest in March, declining to elaborate, since the film hadn't yet come out.

Perhaps that was a wise decision on his part. While Mark Millar, who wrote the "Kick-Ass" comic, has plans to pen a sequel, it's unclear whether that comic will form the basis for a second film.

Johnson, who plays the title character, was looking forward to seeing what Millar has planned and how it might have figured into a sequel film.

"His mind is out there and elaborate, and he's got some fantastic ideas and he's got a huge fanbase," the actor said. "So, it'd be exciting to see what the second comic's going to say, because he's going to bring it out probably summertime next year."

Johnson was pulling for a sequel in which his character, a mild-mannered teen who decides to become a green-suited crime fighter, develops some abilities more in line with his alter ego's name, Kick-Ass. "It'd be great if I could learn how to fight," he said. "If he doesn't, he doesn't. I don't think the character should develop into some superhero. He's forever Dave Lizewski, this kid that's got a lot of heart and he's really sensitive. I don't think you can f--- around with the character so much."

Moretz, meanwhile, had hopes that her Hit-Girl superhero would start riding a purple Ducati outfitted with Gatling guns.

What are the chances that will happen after the first film's middling box office bow? It's not unheard of for a movie that doesn't rake in huge dollars to gain a sequel. Arriving on U.S. soil in 1980, "Mad Max" grossed just $8.6 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com, but it launched Mel Gibson's career and led to two more films — the second grossing $36.2 million in 1985. A year earlier, "The Terminator" pulled in just over $4 million — good for the #1 spot but hardly huge numbers at that time — yet it went on to become a franchise. More recent examples like "Final Destination," "Resident Evil" and "The Transporter" show that a first film doesn't have to do gangbuster numbers to spawn further installments.

So what's the fate of "Kick-Ass"? We'll have to wait to see how the movie performs in the coming weeks to have a better idea of its cinematic future. Only then will we know the answer to co-star Mark Strong's stance: "I'm sure it can go on and on if they want it to."

Date night.


morning! date night seem like a funny movie! but i haven't seen it and lets see what the reviews say about this movie.

Date Night Movie Reviews – Date Night is a new movie that is coming out staring the ever so popular Steve Carell as well as Tina Fey. Everyone is dying to hear what the critics are going to say about this one. If you know these two actors then you probably are expecting something very lively and absolutely hilarious. Steve Carell, the star of the popular television series known as “The Office” and Tina Fey being the star and also the lead writer for NBC’s 30 Rock, surely both have the history to put on a good performance. I think they passed it off that they could be a married couple and the two of them are extremely funny in their own way. We went out looking for what the critics were saying about the movie because as always, it seems that they are well suited to know what is best for the public and are going to give every movie out there their honest opinion. You know that movie critics have no reason to bluff or give you false information.

The Runaways


As i was looking for a article on this topic.. found alot of mixed reviews on this movie.. i do agree with some of them but i didn't thin it was a bad movie it was entertaining and i wasn't bored but i do agree that it does jump from scene to scene anyways here's a little article about Dakota fanning breaking out from a child star.

NEW YORK — When Dakota Fanning was approached to play a sexed-up singer from the Seventies, she knew exactly what to do.
Hit YouTube.

"I didn't know a lot about The Runaways or Cherie Currie when I got the script, and I looked online to see the videos of the Live in Japan tour and her performing Cherry Bomb, and I realized that I wanted to play her," says Fanning, who knew of Joan Jett, but had little exposure to the electric era.

Jett is an executive producer of The Runaways (in theaters nationwide April 9), which is based on Currie's memoir and chronicles the sharp rise and fall of the all-girl band.

Fanning embraces her first major adult role playing lead singer and sex kitten Currie opposite a leather-studded, chin-jutting young Jett, played by Kristen Stewart.

Fifteen, then and now

"A lot of people still think of me as young, and as the girl from I Am Sam, or whatever," Fanning says on a sunny spring afternoon in her room at the Regency Hotel after a day of doing non-stop press. She's plopped on a couch, dressed casually in skinny jeans, open-laced boots, a gray blazer layered over a graphic tee. Around her neck is a simple Tiffany gold key necklace.

"After this (film), I might be able to do different things," Fanning, 16, says. "As you get older, there are roles you can no longer do and so many more things you can do." Mentored on-set by Currie, on-screen Fanning dives deep into the pitfalls of fame: drinking, smoking (herbal cigarettes, she says), and thrusting sexuality full-force into the camera with each throaty cherry-bomb burst.

In person, Fanning is still the sweet, fresh-faced young actor behind past performances in I Am Sam, The Secret Life of Bees and Charlotte's Web.

"I really liked that I was 15 (playing the role), and (Currie) was 15 and seeing what a different time I've grown up in and thinking, 'I could probably never do this, I could probably never be on my own and on the road and performing in lingerie.' "

In a pivotal scene in the film, Fanning's slender body is encased in Currie's signature barely-there corset, worn originally on tour in Japan in 1977. Fanning keeps the costume at home.

"That corset is kind of how she expressed herself, and for Cherie, the way she expressed her sexuality was to wear that corset and to be the cherry bomb," she says.

To beef up her vocal chops, Fanning worked with Currie's original vocal coach.

"Then I was kind of thrown into the recording studio, and that's what you hear in the movie and on the soundtrack," Fanning says, noting The Runaways often recorded songs only a few times before releasing an album. "That was a little scary, but it actually worked out really well."

With new opportunities have come new friendships. She and Stewart, called "Salt and Pepper" in The Runaways (a nod to their blond and black David Bowie-style haircuts), remain close.

"She's become one of my best friends," says Fanning, who first met Stewart after hopping on the Twilight franchise during New Moon to play bloodthirsty vampire Jane to Stewart's innocent (and human) Bella. They reprise their roles in the next installment, Eclipse, scheduled for release in June.

No longer the little kid

Walking into New Moon felt as nerve-racking as the first day of school, Fanning says, but Stewart quickly brought her into the fold. "I've never really worked with a lot of young people in movies, and this is one of the first times I've worked really closely with someone that's closer to my age than a father figure or mother figure."

The two spent the first half of that New Moon day figuring each other out. "And then we were in a tent on the set, and it had a heater in it and we were alone, and we started talking and we instantly connected," she says.

In a Runaways scene, the two kiss, something both approached with little fanfare. "I wasn't even nervous," Fanning says. "It just kind of happened. The way it's written in the script, there's no direction. It was something that happened, they were best friends. It was a different time back then."

In her own life, Fanning has managed to build a surprisingly normal teenage life. She lives at home in Los Angeles with her parents, is crazy for Panda Express takeout and attends private school. Though she turned 16 in February, she cops to not having a learner's driving permit yet.

"There are some days where I'm like, I gotta drive, I gotta get out of here, I should be able to drive myself, and there are other days where I'm like, "Mom, it's OK, you can just drive me forever,' " she says with a laugh.

Of all her classes, she's into psychology, and with college on her to-do list, she has a career in mind that emulates Jodie Foster's.

After promoting The Runaways, Fanning will trade press calls for roll call, swapping corsets and vampires for pop quizzes and a cheerleading uniform.

"I thought it was something, you're going to high school, maybe I'll do cheerleading. It's something fun and completely normal and a good experience to have. And if I ever have to play a cheerleader," she says with a grin, "I'll know what it's like."

The price of Beauty


Last night i watched The Price Of beauty on VH1 and i have to say it was a pretty interesting and entertaining show.. i will admit sometimes Casey and Jessica can kinda be disrespectful towards there culture by not eating certain foods they might offer or spiting them back up like the bugs.. but then again what do we expect haha anyways i looks forward to watching more episodes.

Jessica Simpson found herself in the news an awful lot in the past few months, but never for any kind of work she was doing. She was criticized for looking overweight, slagged off by ex-boyfriend John Mayer for being "sexual napalm," dealt with rumors of a romantic relationship with Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and nearly lit her hair on fire with some sort of ear candle. With Monday night's (March 15) premiere of "The Price of Beauty," she's back in the public eye for something she actually wants to be known for. Simpson's new show, which airs on VH1 every Monday at 10 p.m., shows her traveling around the world looking for what beauty means in foreign cultures. To promote it, she has been hitting the press hard: She appeared on Monday's episode of "The View" and also paid a visit to "The Late Show with David Letterman," where she was snapped leaving the studio in a lovely red dress.

She wasn't the only star getting close to the people, as "The Runaways" star Kristen Stewart was seen at New York's JFK Airport and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker did a bit of shopping (with his daughter in tow) at Barney's in Los Angeles. Click here for these photos as well as the entire "Spotted!" archive, which features over 400 candid shots of stars like Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Adam Lambert, Katy Perry, Diddy, Shakira, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Madonna and 50 Cent!

I know this was the topic last week. but i went to watch Alice and wonderland at midnight on Thursday night and i saw it in IMAX 3d .. and i recommend watching it in IMAX 3d it was a good movie..not as Trippy and dark as i thought it was going to be. but it was entertaining. i liked it.. a couple of my friends didn't like it. but we all have our own opinion. i thought it was a good movie.. but like i said i expected it to be a little more freaky.. which is wasn't.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Moviegoers flocked to the premiere of "Alice in Wonderland" this weekend, with the big-budget Disney film shattering several box office records, highlighting the ongoing appeal of 3-D films.

Tim Burton's interpretation of the classic book by Lewis Carroll, starring Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska, opened Friday in roughly 7,400 screens at 4,000 locations.

Facebook Digg Twitter Buzz Up! Email Print Comment on this story

Despite mixed reviews, "Alice" brought in an estimated $116.3 million from Friday to Sunday. It was the biggest ever March opening and soared past the $77 million that "Avatar" earned when it opened last December, setting a new record for the debut of a 3-D feature.

The performance also blew past industry expectations. According to BoxOfficeGuru.com, the film was expected to make about $70 million in its first weekend.

Overall, "Alice in Wonderland" notched the sixth biggest opening weekend in box office history. It was also the highest grossing ever for a movie released outside of the peak movie-going months of May, July or November.

3-D mania
"It was a phenomenal opening," said BoxOfficeGuru.com's Gitesh Pandya. "It proves that moviegoers have no problem spending more for 3-D movies."

Ticket prices for 3-D films like "Alice" can cost up to $4 more than traditional films. The film was also shown in IMAX, which can be even more expensive.

According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, about $80 million, or 70%, of the opening haul for "Alice" was due to 3-D ticket sales. In IMAX, "Alice" brought in a record $11.9 million.

Brandon Gray, president of Box Office Mojo, said the combined premium from 3-D and IMAX sales for "Alice" appear to have added about $22 million to the film's gross.

"There were a number of factors working in favor of 'Alice in Wonderland'," Gray said, including the star power of Depp and Burton, as well as Disney's aggressive marketing of the film.

"It was a combination of appealing material and a strong marketing campaign," he said. "You could also say that there was a halo-effect from the 'Avatar' run."

While "Alice" surpassed "Avatar" in its opening weekend, analysts do not expect the Disney film's overall performance to top that of James Cameron's epic, which brought in a total of $2.5 billion to become highest grossing movie ever.

"It's going to be a more front-loaded film than 'Avatar,'" Pandya said. "It won't have the same kind of legs."

To be sure, few films have enjoyed the staying power of "Avatar." The 20th Century Fox film opened just before Christmas and benefited from a slew of holiday weekends during its extraordinary 3-month run.

But the success of "Alice" has raised expectations for a host of other highly anticipated 3-D films due out this year, including Warner Brothers' "Clash of the Titans," which comes out next month.

Other 3-D films in the works will capitalize on well known franchises, such as Harry Potter, Shrek and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Jumping the shark
Pandya said he expects most of this year's 3-D features to do well. However, he warned that the challenge for the movie industry will be to take advantage of the current buzz surrounding 3-D films without overdoing it.

"Hollywood is jumping on 3-D bandwagon," Gray said. "There's a high probability they'll run it into the ground."

He said much of the current interest in 3-D movies is due to the novelty of the technology, adding that it's too soon to tell if that interest will last much longer. For the time being, however, it appears that movie-goers are not deterred by higher prices for 3-D films.

"Right now, people seem willing to pay the premium for an enhanced movie going experience," Gray said.

Alice and wonderland!


So its Semi almost here! Alice and Wonderland! woo I'm excited to See it.. but i know this may sounds dumb but i didn't realize until maybe a few weeks ago that its more like a sequel then a remake, because well for obvious reason, Alice is getting married, not studying with her tutor and because the mad hatter says" Alice your back!?" haha any who i expect this to be huge at the box office this weekend.

TIM BURTON, the director of Disney’s 3D movie “Alice in Wonderland,” which opens next month, is no stranger to over-the-top visuals (remember “Edward Scissorhands”?). Lewis Carroll’s classic tale is the perfect excuse for Mr. Burton and his crew to go gangbusters once again. Makeup aficionados will especially appreciate the Queen of Heart’s vivid blue lids and heart-shaped lips, and the Mad Hatter’s green eyes, ringed with azure, fuchsia and brick-red eye shadows and what looks to be white mascara.

Lars Klove for The New York Times
The decision to license several beauty products inspired by the film was easy. “With an interpreter like Tim Burton, we saw a huge opportunity,” said Johanna Mooney, director of health and beauty business for Disney Consumer Products.

Urban Decay is offering a limited-edition Book of Shadows, a pop-up box, right, containing 16 eye shadows (colors include White Rabbit and Jabberwocky black), a primer and two eye pencils ($52). And the nail company OPI has partnered with Disney to introduce four limited-edition colors, left, that include Off With Her Red ($8.50 each).

This isn’t the first time Disney has teamed up with makeup companies. “Great brands find our characters very inspiring,” Ms. Mooney said, noting that Disney’s first collaboration with a makeup company for adult products took place in 2005, when M.A.C. Cosmetics introduced the Tint Toons collection based on classic Disney animals like Daisy Duck. Bath and Body Works introduced a line inspired by Tinker Bell in 2007, and last fall Disney partnered with Carol’s Daughter, a New York natural skin-care company, for a bath line to accompany “The Princess and the Frog.”

According to a report released by Mintel last August, marketing cosmetics to moviegoers seems worth it: 16 percent of 2,000 people surveyed said they had bought shampoo linked to well-known characters. Disney has also seen the evidence in its past efforts: Tint Toons sold out in one day in Japan and in two weeks domestically, while the “Princess and the Frog” products, after being posted on the Carol’s Daughter Web site, were sold out by noon the same day.

Indications are that the Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows will also be a success. According to Ms. Mooney, UrbanDecay.com featured the product on its home page last month. In less than one day, it was sold out.

Valentines day movie reviews. not so god.


Okay so I'm hearing mixed reviews about this movie. my sister, Ben Lyons( daily 10 on e!) and this articles are all saying that Valentine's day the movie is super overrated and the movie isn't even good!. but then other sources say its a cute movie.. i agree with the movies being a complete disappointment because i called it out from the beginning when i head it was coming out.. it just reminded me too much of " Hes just not that into you" i don't know I'm just going to have to see for myself. If you have seen it please gives us some feed back on what you thought about the film?


In a movie full of forced gags, it's hard to pick the worst one. The kid who constantly pulls his shirt over his head is a good choice. The cheating husband who literally juggles (Get it? Juggles?) isn't bad, either. But top prize for "Valentine's Day" goes to frazzled publicist Kara (Jessica Biel) and aspiring sports reporter Kelvin (Jamie Foxx). As Kara complains about how the day of love drives her to gorge on chocolate, she munches greedily on the contents of a heart-shaped box. Kelvin tries to pry the box away, and the two collapse awkwardly on the couch. Their eyes lock and, well, you know the rest.

That moment sums up the film, which is stuffed with anonymous Angelinos engaging in ridiculous behavior. In no particular order: A florist (Ashton Kutcher) deals with a flaky fiancée (Jessica Alba), a teacher (Jennifer Garner) falls in love with that snake of a married man (Patrick Dempsey), an old married couple (Shirley MacClaine and Hector Elizondo) tackles a long-kept secret, a fifth-grader (Bryce Robinson) orders flowers for a mystery valentine, an aging quarterback (Eric Dane) considers retirement, high school lovebirds (Emma Roberts and Carter Jenkins) plan their "first time" and an army captain (Julia Roberts) flies home for one special night.

So basically, it's about a bunch of pretty people falling in and out of love with each other. Every "twist" is visible from a mile away. The only surprise: two of the characters are gay! It's a direct rip-off of "Love Actually," a curl-up-on-the-couch DVD favorite that relies on nuanced emotions rather than recycled sitcom punch lines.

The names on the poster are sure to pull in a sizable audience, but they may find the two-hour running time a drag. The storylines make other ensemble films, even Robert Altman's epic "Short Cuts," feel concise. Director Garry Marshall is no Altman, so he must be a really nice guy with a heck of a phone tree. Somehow, he convinced three generations of talented actors to commit to a pointless exercise in cuteness. Every tired romantic comedy trick gets a moment. There is even an airport chase scene, as Kutcher's florist chases down Garner's teacher to tell her that the guy she's flying to see is married.

Then again, the roles didn't require much of a commitment. Julia Roberts, for example, spends the majority of her scenes in an airplane seat tossing back short answers to businessman Holden's (Bradley Cooper) prying questions. Despite the limited screen time, the actors appear to be game. With all the colorful personalities on set, filming must have been a blast. Too bad they didn't consider the feelings of the audience.

The younger actors use the film as an opportunity to break free of typecasting. Kutcher seems determined to prove he can make it as a legitimate leading man. The goofball persona he adopted several years ago is slowly melting away. Dempsey, the ideal hunk in the eyes of women across America, embraces the chance to play a slimeball.

The good sport award goes to Hathaway. Not only does she give her all to a few emotional scenes with Grace, but she dives head first into her phone sex characters. The Russian dominatrix and Southern belle are highly entertaining. Grace matches her enthusiasm. Like Kutcher, he appears set on shedding his dweeby "That 70s Show" past.

Perhaps the one storyline that shines through involves Taylor Swift. The country music star, who hinted at her potential on a recent episode of "Saturday Night Live," is genuinely funny, although her acting still needs work. The surprise performance is bittersweet. Pointing out Swift's comic stylings is sort of like complimenting the stitching on an ugly prom dress.

Some might scorn the cynics who trash "Valentine's Day." But it's more than just a bad movie; it's a symbol of how far the romantic comedy genre has fallen. Not that long ago, Hollywood churned out classics like "Moonstruck" and "When Harry Met Sally" on a regular basis. Now, "Valentine's Day" is the norm. The film is like a bag of candy conversation hearts still on the shelf in April -- stale, unwanted and not as satisfying as it should be.

Lil Wayne Says Goodbye To Fans In Online Video Before He Goes To Jail


I dont know about you guys but i really li8ke lil wayne i think he is very talented and very slick with how he ryhmes haha tha carter III was probably my favorite! haha well yeah hes going to jail...i don't really know for how long hes being held for tho.



In the wee hours of Wednesday morning (February 9) Lil Wayne spent nearly an hour saying farewell to his fans in a live streaming video. He is expected to turn himself in on Wednesday afternoon in New York after his formal sentencing and begin his year-long jail term stemming from his July 2007 arrest on gun-possession charges. after a night of apparently recording in the studio, got on the Ustream page of Lil' Twist, an artist in his Young Money camp, and said goodbye.

"I'm out this bitch," Wayne said, sitting outside a Miami studio. "To all my fans, my real fans I really, really truly love you. I love you with all of me for real."

Most of the Ustream footage was shot inside the studio, however. It started off with Wayne taking a poll and jokingly asking the fans if he should consider a person a real friend if they missed his farewell party at Miami club Dolce Sunday night in Miami. He then tells the fans as they started to log on by the thousands to download at least one song from his just-released-but-long-delayed LP, Rebirth.

Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith (who spent 30 days in jail last year for a reckless-driving incident in which his friend was killed) briefly called in to say what's up.

"Why I be so close to the camera?" Wayne laughed, making fun of himself for putting his face near the Twist's laptop screen. "You could really tell I don't know nothing about the computer. ... I'm really like a old n---a."

Later, Wayne sends love to his hometown New Orleans Saints for their Super Bowl win.

"Shout out to all the Saints out there, Reggie Bush, [Marques] Colston, Drew Brees. The Dome Patrol, Rickey Jackson for being elected to the Hall of Fame this year. Pat Swilling ..."

For the entire broadcast, Wayne was very upbeat. He was his usual jovial self even when talking about his upcoming jail stint.

"For all the people that didn't know, this is the last time you gonna be seeing me live for a long muthaf---in' time. So watch: This is history."

Wayne also talked about his his work ethic, pointing to a pimple on his forehead, which he said was due to not getting any sex.

"You can tell I've been working hard. Sleeping alone. I've been sleeping with my clothes on."

Weezy then started to joke about his signature dreadlocks.

"My hair got bounce! That sh--'s nice, you feel me? That sh-- real nice," he said. "This is Lil Wayne, featuring my hair. And no, I did not have to cut my air off. That's a stupid rumor. Look at this beautiful sh--."

After playfully posing for the fans, Wayne once again talked about his tireless work schedule.

"Tonight's my last night. ... I came to the studio to get some work done. To all you artists out there, that should be a message or example. I came to work."

Shortly after, Fat Joe and his manager Macho walked in. They both hugged Wayne. Joe told Weezy that he loved him and asked him if he was gonna be OK. Within minutes, Drake called in on Wayne's cell phone. You couldn't hear Drizzy's words, but it was obvious that the Young Money franchise player wanted to make sure he let Wayne know how he felt.

"Nah, n---a, I love you. It's all love," Wayne said. "You know what I told you, hold that sh-- down."

As the Ustream came to an end, Wayne walked outside to start getting ready to go home.

"Thank you from the bottom of me," he said, sitting in his car before pulling away. "Do not forget about me 'cause I will forever think about you. I cannot wait for you to see me again."
