Kate Winslet’s New Role

Kate Winslet is back at work despite recently ending her seven-year marriage. The Oscar winning actress, seen here on set in New York, is currently filming the upcoming HBO mini series, Mildred Pierce where she will play the title role. Set during the great depression, Winslet’s character is a newly divorced single mother who takes a job in a restaurant and soon finds herself caught up in a web of intrigue and murder. It’s the kind of part tailor-made for the 34-year-old, who has made a career of taking roles in period pieces. Mildred Pierce is a remake of the 1945 critically acclaimed film of the same name and earned Joan Crawford an Academy Award for her portrayal. Filming is expected to continue throughout April and will be aired later this year.

REVIEW: Secret in Their Eyes Paints by Oscar-Winning Numbers

Juan José Campanella’s The Secret in Their Eyes, the Argentinian picture that won this year’s Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film, is well-acted, nicely constructed and beautiful to look at. Its story — about a criminal court investigator who begins pursuing a horrific rape and murder case in 1974 that, thanks to a mingling of factors including procedural glitches, judicial mishandling and government corruption, continues to haunt him 25 years later — is worked out with care. The ending is satisfying and somewhat surprising. In short, there’s almost nothing wrong with it. Almost.

Shia LaBeouf Excited About ‘Wall Street 2’

Transformers star Shia LaBeouf says he’s “so excited” to be starring in his new movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps . LaBeouf, 23, stars alongside Michael Douglas , Susan Sarandon and Martin Sheen in the sequel to the 1987 classic and says he is over the moon to have landed a role in the flick in an interview with the UK’s Glamour magazine. “I’ve never been so excited about anything in my life. I’m sure that I was the only person in the cast who had not been Academy Award nominated, so it was very scary showing up on set. I felt that people were thinking: ‘He’s just here because his name gets financing for a movie. When I first met Oliver, I told him all my fears. Over the next three months he took all of my insecurities and turned them on me and used me like a marionette puppet. I needed that, it made me a better actor.” We don’t care how many Oscar nominations that cast has, the movie is going to be severely underwhelming.

Is Mel Gibson Thinking About Retiring?

Mel Gibson says his new Viking epic starring Leonardo DiCaprio may be his last movie. Gibson, who won an Academy Award for directing Braveheart , says he has always wanted to make a movie about marauding maritime Vikings. “It was the first movie I ever thought about making, I saw it in my mind back when I was teenager. Seriously, it’s the first movie I wanted to make. And I think it will be the last film I direct. It’s the thing I have been going toward, in a way, since I was young, and I think when it’s done I may be finished.” With the millions of kids he has and all the mouths to feed, we doubt Mad Mel will be walking away from Hollywood anytime soon.

Howard Stern vs Precious of the Day

I just heard this Howard Stern vs Precious rant and found it pretty accurate. She looks like a cartoon character and when Oprah said she is going to be around for a long lasting career, I laughed because I knew she was going to die in the next 5 years if she doesn’t get her shit together. It really just proves that anyone can be an actor and sure she played a fat, black, retarded chick but how many more fat, black, retarded chicks are there out there…The pretty much had to nominate her for an Academy Award out of sympathy for her like some make a wish foundation shit…and if she won it would have been the biggest joke on Hollywood, whether she deserved it or not, there’s just no one they could embrace giving someone with no skill at acting the best acting award against all these bitches who have been doing this for decades and think it’s a legitimate art form…and now hollywood has just inflated another ego, only to take it away, for them to turn to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate before Corey Haiming themselves….RIP Precious…. Anyway, there’s nothing hot about Precious, her heart disease or body like my wife, who has spent half a century with an eating disorder and emotional distress getting to her size, but there is something hot about Oprah on a Lesbian Date with Gale….so here are some pictures of Oprah showing off her big fat ass I want to cum inside….but not because I find Oprah hot, but because Oprah is fucking God….
