Bradley Cooper has snagged himself a model. The Hangover III star has been spotted around town over the past few weeks with a beauty nearly half his age, 20-year old Suki Waterhouse. “It’s new but they’re hanging out,” an insider tells Us Weekly , adding of the 38-year old Oscar nominee: “He’s really into her.” Cooper and Waterhouse took a walk around Boston yesterday and were also seen in the same car (hot!) on February 12 in London. Cooper has been single since breaking up with Zoe Saldana just before the holidays in 2012. He has also been romantically linked to Renee Zellweger, Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Wilde , and Jennifer Lopez. Not shabby!
Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana Split Could it be because of her jealous ways??? Three months after Cooper, 37, and his Words costar Zoe Saldana, 33, first hooked up, the couple have called it quits, a source confirms to the new issue of Us Weekly. “They’re definitely not together,” the insider says of the pair, who met while filming the upcoming thriller and were first spotted kissing at a New Year’s Eve bash. Though Saldana — who split from fiance and love of 10 years Keith Britton in November — was spotted hanging with Cooper’s mom, Gloria, in February, pals say she isn’t too bummed about her breakup. “She and Bradley weren’t superserious at all,” says a pal of Saldana and Cooper, whose A-list exes include Renee Zellweger, Olivia Wilde, Jennifer Lopez and Beginners actress Melanie Laurent.

Avengers director Joss Whedon spent much of his weekend in Austin at SXSW pounding the pavement for The Cabin in the Woods (that is, when he wasn’t busy dancing into the wee hours of the night) but he also managed to mostly deflect the laser geek gaze of the bloggerati when it came to divulging information about his upcoming Marvel superhero pick. That said, he did offer up one huge clarification on a matter Avengers fans have been trying to root out via various clues and tea leaves: Who are the villains under Loki’s command? “I will say only this: It is not the Kree or the Skrulls,” said Whedon during his SXSW panel. “Those two aliens are Marvel mainstays and have enormous backstories. They have a big life of their own that just could not be contained in a film where I already had seven movie stars.” “The Skrulls — they can shape change. That’s a whole thing. I’ve already got Loki. He’s got magic. Once you got magic along with your Iron Man and your Black Widow — it’s a real juggling act.” He’s got a great point; Loki’s magic plus the appearance of alien races like the Kree and Skrull might feel a tad too fantastical for this Avengers outing. But wait, that’s not all! What else won’t The Avengers be/feature/include (via Collider )? • A too-short runtime: “My first cut was three hours long, and it’s now down to 2 hours and 15 minutes, and I’m extremely proud of that. I had always intended to go over two, under two and a half. There was no way a movie with this many great actors and this much epic scope was gonna clock in under two and not feel a little anemic. Somebody wasn’t gonna get their moment if that happened.” • An overlong runtime: “But at the same time, I get very angry that romantic comedies run over two hours long, it’s like ‘Guys, that’s not OK.’ More isn’t more. I don’t want anything in the movie that shouldn’t be.” • Nods at Whedon properties outside of the Marvel universe, which would be weirdly conspicuous anyway: “I am not a fan of referencing your own work when it’s in a different universe than what you’re doing. That, to me, is a wink at the audience and winking isn’t actually cool when you’re not, like, 10.” • That Jeff Beck cover of that one Stevie Wonder/Syreeta song “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers,” which was too expensive to include in a Tony Stark scene. Stay tuned for more from SXSW .
You might have noticed a glaring omission in this morning’s Weekend Receipts , but probably not: Even I couldn’t be bothered to remember that an Eddie Murphy movie not only opened on Friday (to catastrophically bad reviews; the Rotten Tomatoes “fresh” rating remains at a super-rare 0% ) but also concluded the weekend with a brutal $6.25 million gross &mdash making for a sixth-place finish and a $3,360-per-screen average. This would make A Thousand Words the third straight Murphy-led film to open under $7 million — quite the opposite from last fall’s reasonably successful ensemble effort Tower Heist and his voice work in the blockbuster Shrek franchise. Factor in his Oscars-hosting debacle, and you kind of have to ask yourself: Is this it for Eddie? Generally I’d try for a little more optimistic reading of the scenario; I mean, if we can devote time and space to attempting to rehabilitate Renee Zellweger’s career , then Eddie Murphy is worth at least that much effort. But this is bad , if only because the confluence of Murphy’s historic arrogance and decade-long decline in taste has produced the perfect storm of irrelevance: Older audiences who loved him in the ’80s and could admire the creative risk he took in Dreamgirls have all but given up, and he doesn’t move the needle among young audiences for whom Meet Dave , Imagine That and now A Thousand Words have proven sixth- or maybe fifth-choice moviegoing at best. There’s nowhere to go, really, but back to second-billing behind guys like Ben Stiller and even — gasp — Mike Myers, the latter of whom isn’t exactly tearing up the non- Shrek market himself. But that won’t happen. This is a guy who was going to ride the Academy Awards back to the cultural A-list, or at least let the wave elevate Tower Heist ‘s profile last November and burnish the otherwise lackluster A Thousand Words in whatever post-Oscar afterglow he could get. Obviously, for reasons both known and unknown, that didn’t transpire . There’s a bottom line here, though, that gets to the larger problem with Eddie Murphy in 2012: If Murphy had wanted to preserve the job, then he could have. He would have. Instead, on the Monday after his latest cinematic miscarriage, we’re talking about arguably the most complacent actor in Hollywood — a man perfectly happy to eat shit sandwiches and wipe his mouth with $100 bills as long as some retrograde studio boss is setting the table. And I guess that’s fine? It’s not my money (nor yours, in all likelihood, unless you run DreamWorks, in which case you have bigger problems anyway). But its diminishing returns have transcended alarm into something more approximating schadenfreude: We wish less that Murphy would get back to the business of being trailblazingly funny or edgy or adventurous than that his next, now-routine clusterfuck will be the one that finally sends him into the sunset counting his money. Not that we necessarily want the worst for Murphy. He just seeks it out for himself, and the more it compromises his legacy — extraordinary films like 48 Hours , Delirious , Trading Places , Coming to America and others pushing a quarter-century old — the more it compromises us. Watching Beverly Hills Cop should not feel bittersweet. So as much as I sincerely would love to be wrong, it looks like we’ve finally lost Eddie Murphy, movie star — a legend forsaken for Eddie Murphy, character actor, or worse yet, Eddie Murphy, king of paycheck inertia. And if we have indeed reached a point of no return, then let’s have our laments here and now and be done with it. There’s too much ambition worth experiencing and appreciating elsewhere. Follow S.T.

Speaking on the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise, Rupert Grint said this week: “The reason they’re on this journey is much bigger than any one of them. It has to come to a head at some point.” And come to a head it does on July 15, when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premieres. In the following sneak peek, we see Hogwarts bursting into flames, along with Harry and Voldemort going wand-to-wand. We also hear these words from Grint’s Ron: “This is it, really. This is the end of the line.” How will it all end? We’ll find out this summer. Check out a couple clips from the film below: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Sneak Peek
Another Hollyweird relationship bites the dust: Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger have reached their limit. After less than two years together, the couple have split, multiple sources confirm to UsMagazine.com. Reps for both Cooper and Zellweger had no comment. Limitless star Cooper, 36, first met Oscar winner Zellweger, 41, six years ago on the set of their thriller Case 39 — but romance didn’t bloom until summer 2009. In the interim, both stars had short-lived marriages: Cooper to actress Jennifer Esposito, Zellweger to singer Kenny Chesney. Both unions petered out in less than six months. (Find out how Bradley explained his short marriage to Esposito.) After being photographed dining together in NYC in July 2009, the duo were spotted kissing in Spain in early August; the next week, he took her to his Philadelphia home town. The couple remained steadfastly tight-lipped about their relationship in the press. Asked about Zellweger by Details magazine in the June/July 2010 issue, Cooper retorted, “I just can’t. They’re so down to earth and [they] spend time with family whenever possible,” a source close to the couple told Us last year. Indeed, Zellweger was spotted frequently in the L.A. area palling around with Cooper’s mother. “They’re the real deal!” another insider said of the twosome at the time. Doing press for his new movie Limitless, Cooper stayed typically mum on his love. On the Howard Stern Show on Monday, Howard Stern grilled the Hangover star about Zellweger; Cooper simply denied any engagement plans. Ah well..Bradley Cooper is too hot for Renee anyway. Source
