The Verge: Laura Ramsey

In Middle Men , Laura Ramsey plays a woman who parlays an ignoble beginning (selling sex on the internet) into a lucrative business, and in some ways, it’s a fortuitous match of actress and character. Ramsey, too, paid her dues in productions she’d probably rather forget (like MTV’ s reality flop The Real Cancun ), but she’s since built a promising career as an actress, with notable appearances in projects like The Ruins, The Covenant , and Mad Men. She called up Movieline to talk about fake online profiles, and donning a sailor hat for Sofia Coppola.

Eric Stonestreet on Modern Family’s Emmy Rivalry and the Show’s Losing Strategy

Just this year, Eric Stonestreet has gone from a Kansas-born actor best known for a minor role on CSI : Crime Scene Investigation to an Emmy nominee on this year’s most well-accepted — and arguably, best — comedy on television. As Cameron Tucker, the most flamboyant member of Modern Family , Stonestreet is often responsible for delivering the show’s biggest laugh lines, a fact not lost on the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. When Movieline bumped into the actor earlier this week at the Beverly Hilton, he was quick to cite his plan for the night which includes meeting his favorite actress and delivering an award-worthy losing performance.

Martin Luther King Was a Trekkie

Star Trek cast member Nichelle Nichols revealed this week that she would have fled the Starship Enterprise after her first season had Martin Luther King Jr. not persuaded her otherwise. At a NAACP fundraiser, the Civil Rights hero told Nichols that “Gene Roddenbery had establish[ed] who [African Americans] were in the 23rd century.” Furthermore, King told her that Star Trek was the only show he permitted his whole family to watch before adding, “You are part of history, and it’s your responsibility, even though it wasn’t your career choice.” [ LAT ]

On DVD: Get Your Swoon on With Ava Gardner, Flying Dutchman

Barely heralded today among the midcentury Hollywood auteurs, Albert Lewin was as distinct in his personality as Alfred Hitchcock or Fritz Lang or Sam Fuller, and just as much of a terrarium-maker. His micro-worlds, including the new-to-disc 1951 classic Pandora and the Flying Dutchman , had a particularly dreamy vibe. His most-seen film, the 1945 version of The Picture of Dorian Gray , is unforgettable not for its fidelity to Wilde’s morality play but for its very strange, doomed-romantic bell-jar effect, a movie seemingly made up entirely from Hurd Hatfield’s cheekbones, Angela Lansbury’s round eyes, a single Victorian tavern set, and mist.

Adam Yauch Loses Unfinished MPAA Appeal

The MPAA today upheld its R rating for the Holocaust documentary A Film Unfinished — the same R rating that Beastie Boy and indie distributor Adam Yauch decried as “bullsh*t” ahead of this week’s appeal. The ratings board was not swayed by the citation of the PG-13 Holocaust doc The Last Days , which, like A Film Unfinished features “disturbing images of Holocaust atrocities including graphic nudity,” but which was also produced by Steven Spielberg, so you do the math. Alas. A Film Unfinished opens Aug. 18. [ Oscilloscope Laboratories ]

‘Old Spice’ Guy Isaiah Mustafa Joins Next Madea Film, Obviously

Hello, ladies. Look at Tyler Perry, now back to me, now back at Tyler Perry, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies’ scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with the man Tyler Perry could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that cross-dressing movie franchise you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when Tyler Perry smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse. [ AOL Black Voices ]
