Elisabetta Canalis and Steve-O: New Couple Alert (WTH)!?

Posted on January 31, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Steve-O and Elisabetta Canalis are totally dating. Don’t ask us how the heck that happened, but they are dating and not shy about flaunting it in public. At all. Some people might say that going from George Clooney to one of the dudes from Jackass constitutes a step down for the Italian model and DWTS contestant. Those people would be 100 percent correct, but hey. Beauty is only skin deep, right? Maybe Steve-O can please her in ways George never, ever could. LOL. Sorry. We tried Steve. Steve-O, yeah! Look at that Jackass land Elisabetta Canalis! Clooney, meanwhile, has moved on from Canalis with Stacy Keibler . Much more of a lateral move if not slightly upward. The WWE alum cleans up so well.

Gary Oldman, Albert Brooks Stake Out Opposite Ends of Oscar Spectrum

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This reaction quote just in from Gary Oldman, a deserving first-time Oscar nominee for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy : “This afternoon in Berlin I have learned that I was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Actor. You may have heard this before, but it has never been truer than it is for me today, it is extremely humbling, gratifying, and delightful to have your work recognized by the Academy, and to join the celebrated ranks of previous nominees and colleagues. Amazing.” Meanwhile, how is viciously smacked-down Oscar snubbee Albert Brooks doing? Brooks elaborated via Twitter, naturally: I got ROBBED. I don’t mean the Oscars, I mean literally. My pants and shoes have been stolen. Tue Jan 24 14:49:56 via HootSuite Albert Brooks AlbertBrooks And to the Academy: “You don’t like me. You really don’t like me.” Tue Jan 24 15:04:56 via HootSuite Albert Brooks AlbertBrooks There you go: Oscar 2012, catch the fever! It’s probably dysentery, but fever nonetheless.

Christopher Plummer on Dragon Tattoo, Beginners Luck and Laughing Off Oscar

Posted on December 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

One week removed from his 82nd birthday, Christopher Plummer is winding up what one could arguably call a career year. And it’s been a long career — more than half a century’s worth of stage and screen roles comprising such milestones as The Sound of Music , The Man Who Would Be King , The Insider and The Last Station , the latter of which earned the Canadian legend his first-ever Academy Award nomination. But as the curtain closes on a memorable 2011 — most notably his acclaimed stage adaptation Barrymore , his awards-worthy performance in Beginners and this week’s blockbuster hopeful The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo — you’d be hard-pressed to find a time when Plummer wasn’t more beloved.

Miss Piggy on The Muppets, Amy Adams’ ‘OK’ Voice, and Kermit’s Dirty Secret

Posted on November 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Miss Piggy has been a TV and movie star for decades, but in The Muppets , she finally gets the spotlight to herself and dominates the entire film start to finish — or so she’d have us believe. The Muppets is a showcase for many of her colleagues, but she’s the only character who gets a split-screen duet with Amy Adams and a very contemporary wardrobe. Movieline caught up with the porcine superstar (who is voiced by Eric Jacobsen) to discuss the new movie, her new look,and the bodily secret that Kermit doesn’t want you to know.

John Landis Remembers Eddie Murphy As a Jerk

Posted on November 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“When I made Trading Places , Eddie was 19 or 20 and bouncing off the wall with talent and was a very happy guy,” John Landis recalled recently about this year’s Academy Award host drop-out . “When I made Coming to America , it was a few years later, Eddie had become an international star and was not as happy. It was awkward on that film because he was kind of a jerk, and we had a real falling out. But still we worked together very well.” [ NYT ]

Silent is Golden: A Chat With The Artist’s Leading Man (and Oscar Frontrunner) Jean Dujardin

Posted on November 22, 2011 by | Leave a comment

A little over six months ago, before The Artist premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, it might have been unthinkable to foresee what has since evolved into a very real possibility: Jean Dujardin, a bona fide movie star in his native France but relative unknown in the United States, is as likely as any contender to date to win an Academy Award for Best Actor. Which would be surprising enough without The Artist being a black-and-white French import — a silent black-and-white French import.

VIDEO: Cloris Leachman’s Panties Just the Tip of Last Picture Show’s 40th Anniversary Reunion Iceberg

Posted on November 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It wasn’t quite a complete reunion for Peter Bogdanovich and the cast of his 1971 breakthrough The Last Picture Show last night at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; there was no Jeff Bridges or Ellen Burstyn in sight, but plenty of the other main players including Cybill Shepherd, Timothy Bottoms, Cloris Leachman (who gives a funny anecdote about an underwear-related scene), and Eileen Brennan joined Bogdanovich to recount stories from behind the scenes of the adapted Larry McMurtry novel. Yeah, it’d have been nice for The Dude to stop by, but you’ll find yourself transfixed by Brennan very soon anyway. Mrs. Peacock in the flesh, yo. Video (featuring moderator Luke Wilson) after the jump.

9 Milestones in the Evolution of Robin Williams

Posted on November 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In this weekend’s Happy Feet Two , Robin Williams voices Ramón, a South American penguin lothario, and Lovelace, a deep-voiced love guru. So how did a self-described quiet child from Chicago transform himself into one of Hollywood’s most energetic Academy Award winners and skilled impressionists, who pulls double duty in Warner Bros.’s latest animated feature?

Talkback: Should Studio Heads Be as Candid as Universal’s Ron Meyer?

Posted on November 4, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I was traveling all day as Movieline’s report from the Savannah Film Festival picked up steam around the blogosphere, but early on it was clear that two polar-opposite reactions were building in response to Universal Studios chief Ron Meyer’s comments about his studio’s well-publicized (at least, outside of the studio) recent flops. Either you love his blazing moment of candor — because we’ve all thought the same about most, if not all, of the woeful Universal films mentioned — or you despise what he stands for. But Meyer is a businessman, the President and COO of one of the largest movie studios and theme park conglomerates in the business. Should more filmmakers and studio heads follow suit?
