Natalie Portman May Trade Tights for Space Suit in Gravity

Ready to watch Natalie Portman alone in space for two hours? Studios are betting so.

Casting has been going back and forth for some time with rumors that Angelina Jolie’s recent departure may have sunk the movie.

Taylor Lautner Acheives Closure On Traumatic Trailer Incident

Taylor Lautner has reached a $40,000 settlement with the RV company that he claimed stiffed him on a delivery of a trailer and caused him “emotional distress” and “annoyance.” Big-heartedly, Taylor is not using his sudden windfall to buy raw steaks and protein shakes, but will be donating it to the Lollipop Theater Network, a “non-profit organization dedicated to bringing movies currently in theaters to children confined to hospitals.” [ US ]

‘Going The Distance’: The Reviews Are In!

‘E.T.’s girlfriend and the Mac Guy ooze a laid-back, goofy charm through their pore-less skin,’ The Washington Post ‘s Michael O’Sullivan writes. By Eric Ditzian Drew Barrymore in “Going the Distance” Photo: Warner Bros. I’ll go ahead and say it: I really liked “Going the Distance.” Frankly, I’m surprised more early viewers didn’t, as the Drew Barrymore comedy is currently at a meager 49 percent freshness at the Rotten Tomatoes review aggregator. What else do we want in our romantic comedies, people? I’ll surely sound like a PR flack for saying this, but “Going the Distance” has something for everyone. It’s got the aw-shucks love story, realistically drawn central characters, some fabulously raunchy supporting players in Charlie Day (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) and Jason Sudeikis (“Saturday Night Live”), a plot that really does manage to avoid rom-com clich

VIDEO: Ryan Seacrest and Larry King Duet, Butcher Lady Gaga’s ‘Poker Face’

During his radio show this week, Ryan Seacrest had Larry King duet with him on Lady Gaga’s ubiquitous smash hit, “Poker Face.” Neither one of them can sing, but King gets bonus points (or demerits?) for the lascivious way he scats. Shiver. If you could read my poker face right now, you’d notice a look of outright disgust. Seriously, this is more disturbing than the trailer for Hobo with a Shotgun , and that includes a woman and baby being lit on fire. Click ahead to witness the horror.

Weekend Forecast: Can Machete Out-Hack Drew Barrymore at the Box Office?

O, Labor Day, you lazy long weekend, you musty farewell. And seriously, summer: Good riddance. The holiday frame offers up a storm-shattering tandem of films well worth your time, money and consideration after a gruesome August, as well as one stinker to help balance out the cosmos. (Or something. I don’t know why it exists, to be honest.) Grab a lawn chair, pop open a beer, and meet me after the jump to talk it over.

Here is the Tom Hardy Workout Video You Didn’t Know You Wanted

Here’s something nice for you to watch while you’re eating an entire thing of Gallo salami slices at your desk (as I may or may not be doing currently): a workout video starring Inception’s semi-bisexual breakout Tom Hardy. The clip was shot as Hardy buffed up for his unrecognizable role in last year’s Bronson , and it’s an interesting testimonial to the modern-day reality that our best actors need to be absolute gym fiends (and that loose, baggy gym pants can still be oddly revealing). Enjoy!
