The problem with Alyssa Miller is that her vagina is being marketed as something that smells like Jake Gyllenhaal’s penis, which is the fucking worst, because despite girls loving Jake Gyllenhaal, he’s a total bitch of a human who I have met and seen have a tantrum and it was hilarious….reminding me that she’s just bearding and if anything the only thing of hers that smells like Jake Gyllenhaal’s penis are a pair of her panties he steals to wear around the fucking house when she’s not banging him with a strap on…. So that makes her and her bikini modelling pretty okay by me..
I am all for girls who get fit, or who go from being disgusting fat slobs, to someone a fraction of her size, with more energy, spirit, and health…because obesity is an epidemic that can be curved, and that can be cured…and that people can beat…if they get up off their ass.. I am not all for a girl who may feel skinny because of all the weight she lost, slipping into a sheer top like a skinny girl, because she thinks she’s skinny, and she is compared to how fat she was…because she’s still not built for this style and she’s pushing things a bit too hard…stretching out that small size at the seams…even if it really isn’t all that bad…because all girls in see through shirts are fun… TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE
Not every parent is gonna be as cool as Madonna though. Lourdes Leon has gotten hot and heavy with her new boo Timothee Chalamet , and she doesn’t even bother to hide her love from her mom. Via US Weekly reports : Madonna is redefining what it means to be a “cool mom.” The legendary pop singer, 54, spent the majority of her time at a June 18 after party for the Cinema Society screening of her documentary Madonna: The MDNA Tour partying with her kids — and both Lourdes and Rocco looked like they were having a blast. According to an onlooker, the Material Girl didn’t seem to bat an eye when Leon, 16, made out with her boyfriend, Homeland actor Timothee Chalamet. Leon and Chalamet were first linked in April after they were photographed walking side-by-side to a dinner date in NYC on Sunday, April 14. The young couple was accompanied by Leon’s father — and Madonna’s ex, personal trainer Carlos Leon — as well as his current girlfriend. A source told Us Weekly at the time that the pair were dating, but added that it was in a “loose” sense. “They are teenagers being teenagers so I guess you can call it that,” the source said. At Tuesday’s after party, Leon looked like she just wanted to have fun, hanging out with two male friends and later dancing with a group of her pals (mom Madonna later joined in around 1:30 in the morning). Madonna’s son Rocco, meanwhile, had a few break dancers in his group of friends, and was busy partying on the dance floor. “He’s a Leo, what can I say?” Madonna told Us earlier in the evening. “He’s disconcertingly comfortable on stage and I was thrilled to see him every night. He gave me a little boost of energy.” (Rocco’s dad is the pop superstar’s second ex-husband Guy Ritchie.) “Go Rocco, wherever you are!” she continued. “However, he does not look like that [like how appears in the concert film]. In one year, he has grown. He’s six feet tall. His voice has deepened and I’m a bit scared of him.” The three continued to hold court throughout the event but later left the festivities around 2 in the morning. Madonna is always gonna be different — do you think you could be as cool with your own kids? Splash/Twitter/ Shutterstock Continue reading →
It’s Memorial Day weekend and studios are driving the first of the big summer blockbusters into theaters. But while The Hangover 3 (2013) and Fast and Furious 6 (2013) are big on budgets and stars, they’re shockingly low on skin. The only celeb busting out boobs in the cinema is French skinsation Julie Delpy, who goes topless for the otherwise downbeat Before Midnight (2013). More after the jump!
The central conflict of Stephenie Meyer’s The Host stems not from vampires and werewolves, but something more intangible yet equally eerie. Depicted in the Andrew Niccol -directed film as a glowing organism of sorts, these parasitic alien “Souls,” as they are called, gain access to humans through an incision made at the back of the victim’s neck, where they override their host’s human circuitry. At least that’s what’s supposed to happen. In The Host , Melanie, played by Saoirse Ronan , does not relinquish control to her invader and eventually learns to coexist with her. Given this premise, Movieline thought that Cinema Society’s screening of the movie, and the party that followed at Jimmy at The James Hotel in Tribeca, were good places to ask a single question of the VIPs and swells who attended: If your body was inhabited by a parasitic host, which celebrity would you want it to be and why? There are some real provocative answers here, and if you want a really racy one, head straight for actress/model Meki Saldana’s response. Diane Kruger , actress, The Host : Michael Jackson. He’s the coolest. He’s my favorite singer. I cried when he died Stephenie Meyer, author, The Host : If it’s my body that’s invaded, then I don’t get a choice. But, if I’m the invader, and I get to pick the body? I guess maybe Beyonce . I’d get the talent. I’d have the voice. She can do all that cool stuff. I could dance if I were her. My bones are not connected right; I can’t do those moves. And I can’t sing. Saoirse Ronan, actress, The Host : A celebrity? I would want it to be…someone like Bill Murray or Jack Nicholson . They’re fun and interesting and they’ve been around a long time. And maybe I could get some of their memories from all the things that they’ve done over the years. Max Irons , actor, The Host : If my body was invaded? Stephen Hawking . If I said Jay-Z or something, he’d be in my body and he’d look in the mirror and go, What the fuck? Whereas, Stephen Hawking — he might be a little bit grateful. Just a little bit. We trade: I get his magnificent brain and he gets my body. Jake Abel, actor, The Host : Somebody’s coming in my body? I would say David Bowie , so I can sing and dance on stage. Boyd Holbrook, actor, The Host : Larry Bird . Fantastic ball player. He’d be in my body. Final answer. Lee Hardee, actor, The Host : Stephen Colbert! He’s hilarious. The whole day would be entertaining. Everything you did, everything you said would be awesome. Raeden Greer, actress, The Host : I think if I would have someone in my body, I think it would have to be…this is really hard. Maybe a guy. So, I could just, you know, see what it’s like to think like a guy. I’ll go with Woody Allen . Gabourey Sidibe , actress: You know what? I’m learning something about myself, because the first name that came to mind was Tony Danza . And I don’t know why. For some reason I see him tap dancing in there. What did I get into?! Dylan McDermott, actor: My favorite celebrity of all time, Barbara Eden [from] I Dream of Jeannie . Jason Wu, fashion designer: I want to be Diane Kruger. She’s so glamorous. She’s one of those girls I just love hanging out with. Amazing inside and out. Tatiana Maslany, actress: Nicki Minaj . She’s amazing. I would love to have the guts that she has and her “whatever” [attitude]. Ve Neill, academy award winning makeup artist and reality TV judge: Would it have to be a female? Let’s say Johnny Depp . I’ve worked with Johnny off and on for many years since I did Edward Scissorhands with him. He’s fabulous and I adore him. Meki Saldana, actress and model: Either Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie or both. I want both of them inside me. Whoa, whoa. Hold on. Let me back up, let me back up. Oh my god, I just said something I shouldn’t have said. No, no, I just think that they’re very strong personalities, but at the same time very humble. I would definitely want something that they have inside me. Still wrong. Holly Kiser, Make Me a Supermodel : Joaquin Phoenix , because he’s a crazy ass motherfucker, or Robert Downey Jr. [They] have all these, like, demons inside of them, and they’re just trying to work with that as actors.

Actor-director Glenn Berggoetz is bringing his new film to Los Angeles on March 23, and this time, he says, he’s going to make more than $11. As Movieline gleefully reported in 2011, Berggoetz’s microbudget picture The Worst Movie EVER! earned the dubious distinction of selling a single $11 ticket during its opening weekend at a single theater in Los Angeles. But his follow-up, Midget Zombie Takeover , has already improved upon that. Berggoetz (he’s front and center in the above photo) premiered Midget Zombie Takeover at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Winchester, VA on Feb. 8, and, according to Box Office Mojo , the picture earned $2,755 — more than its $2000 budget and a 25,000-percent improvement over his last film’s opening. (The movie’s trailer is posted below.) In an email, the Denver-based filmmaker writes that the capacity crowd at the Drafthouse “went nuts” and that theater owner “Steve Nerangis told me he’s never heard so much laughing at a film in all his years of owning the theater.” Berggoetz adds that this initial reception and “nothing but great reviews since its release” have translated to cinemas booking Midget Zombie Takeover “not just as a midnight movie, but for multiple screenings” in some cases. He also notes that a theater in Phoenix is considering booking the film for entire week — the first time that his work has received such a lengthy showing. The moral of the story? Being known as the guy with the worst movie opening ever has turned out to be a pretty good thing for Berggoetz. “While I wouldn’t call the $11 opening weekend debacle a badge of honor, it soon became, and remains, a god-send,” he writes. “I still get inquiries from fans all over the world asking about the film, and it really led to me making some great connections.” Although Box Office Mojo reports The Worst Movie EVER! has earned only $10,194 since November 2012, Berggoetz says he got a book deal and speaking gigs out of the ensuing publicity. Last October, he published: The Independent Filmmaker’s Guide: Make Your Feature Film for $2,000 . As he puts it, “Had The Worst Movie EVER! done $110 its opening weekend, a lot of these doors (maybe all of them) wouldn’t have opened for me. So while that opening weekend was a complete bummer at first, I wouldn’t trade it for anything (other than a $20 million opening weekend).” And as he prepares to return to the city where he was humiliated in 2011, Berggoetz is confident that, this time around, he’ll be vindicated. “At this point there are more than 50 people who have contacted me online to say they’ll be attending the midnight screening on Saturday, March 23 at the Laemmle NoHo 7 in North Hollywood,” writes the filmmaker, who has clearly learned something about promotion and marketing since then. “So it looks like we’ll post our best L.A. box office numbers yet!” [ Box Office Mojo ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

“I basically replaced Michael Anthony Hall with a zombie” says Warm Bodies director Jonathan Levine by way of explaining that his girl-meet-corpse rom-com has more in common with John Hughes body of work than the Twilight saga. I was on the red carpet Friday night for the New York premiere — which was hosted by The Cinema Society and Artistry — where I also spoke with star Nicholas Hoult. How did the former Skins star perfect his zombie run? Hours on the treadmill! In fact, when friends stopped by his flat — Hoult is British — he says they took one look at him and said “this guy needs to take a break”! Nope, that’s not fatigue, that’s zombie reflexes! Hoult’s co-star Teresa Palmer was also in attendance, and her favorite thing about Warm Bodies is that it helps the uber popular zombie genre evolve in unexpected ways. That’s right, we can’t watch The Walking Dead forever – or can we…? Check out the full interview below: Follow Grace Randolph on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
John Ford may be one of American cinema’s great directors, but Quentin Tarantino has some choice words for the maker of such film classics as The Searchers , Stagecoach , and The Grapes of Wrath : “To say the least, I hate him,” Tarantino told The Root in a recent conversation about Django Unchained . What’s more, he says Ford inspired him to write a scene in Django Unchained in which comically inept proto-Klansmen get their just desserts. Earlier this month, Django producer Stacey Sher alluded to Tarantino’s animosity toward Ford at the film’s PGA screening. “He’s not a John Ford fan,” she said. “Do you know why? John Ford was a Klansman in Birth of a Nation , so Quentin can’t really get past that — and I can’t blame him.” That’s terrifically provocative and explanatory a statement in itself, but in a fantastically in-depth interview at The Root , Tarantino explains the Ford beef further : Oddly enough, where I got the idea for the Klan guys [in Django Unchained ] — they’re not Klan yet, the Regulators arguing about the bags [on their heads] — as you may well know, director John Ford was one of the Klansmen in The Birth of a Nation , so I even speculate in the piece: Well, John Ford put on a Klan uniform for D.W. Griffith. What was that about? What did that take? He can’t say he didn’t know the material. Everybody knew The Clansman [on which Birth of a Nation was based] at that time as a piece of material. …he put on the Klan uniform. He got on the horse. He rode hard to black subjugation. As I’m writing this — and he rode hard, and I’m sure the Klan hood was moving all over his head as he was riding and he was riding blind — I’m thinking, wow. That probably was the case. How come no one’s ever thought of that before? Five years later, I’m writing the scene and all of a sudden it comes out. One of my American Western heroes is not John Ford, obviously. To say the least, I hate him. Forget about faceless Indians he killed like zombies. It really is people like that that kept alive this idea of Anglo-Saxon humanity compared to everybody else’s humanity — and the idea that that’s hogwash is a very new idea in relative terms. And you can see it in the cinema in the ’30s and ’40s — it’s still there. And even in the ’50s. A true cinephile controversy! (Read/listen to the whole interview here .) Pot, consider yourself stirred. Discuss! [ The Root h/t @GlennWhipp ]
Amour is a true rarity, and for lovers of cinema it is one of the year’s high notes, though it’s most certainly no easy ride. Austria’s Best Foreign-language contender in the Oscars race, the feature by director Michael Haneke is a true masterpiece dealing with a topic most would rather ignore. The feature, which will be released by Sony Pictures Classics this weekend Stateside, most certainly is in the running for more than one Oscar nomination or at least it should be. Amour deservedly won the Palme d’Or in Cannes in May where it debuted and was even picked by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association as their Best Film of 2012. That is some feat for a film that centers on an elderly Parisian couple who are suddenly faced with illness and life’s sunset, beating out Hollywood’s big contenders. [ Related: LA Film Critics Name ‘Amour’ Best Picture, Boost ‘The Master,’ Jazz Up Oscar Race ] [ Editor’s Note: Movieline covered comments by ‘Amour’ director Michael Haneke and its terrific actors Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva at the Cannes Film Festival in May and is re-published here timed to the film’s opening Friday December 21. ] Haneke is certainly no stranger to awards in Cannes. He won the top prize just in 2009 for The White Ribbon as well as Best Director in 2005 for Caché (Hidden) and the Grand Prize of the Jury for The Piano Teacher back in 2001. Actors Jean-Louis Trintignant ( The Conformist ) and Emmanuelle Riva ( Priest ) sublimely portray the couple whose lives suddenly change after Riva’s character, Anne, suffers an attack. She is left in a slowly deteriorating state of dementia and her husband takes on the burden of caring for her while their daughter, played by Isabella Huppert, feels shut out. Mostly a theater actor in recent years, Trintignant was persuaded by Haneke to once again take to the screen for his first film since 1998’s Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train by Patrice Chéreau. “I didn’t want to act in films; I prefer the theater. But Haneke offered me this great opportunity,” he said — then clarified, “But I won’t do it again.” Trintignant, who was an early target of the paparazzi here back in the late ’50s because of rumors he was having an affair with Brigitte Bardot, his co-star in …And God Created Woman , added, “It’s a great joy to work with Michael Haneke. I’ve never met such a demanding director. He knows the cinema through and through.” Haneke will probably never be accused of being overly forthcoming when discussing his films. The heavy subject matter in Amour quite frankly will not appeal to everyone, but it’s already being called a masterpiece. He did acknowledge, however, that the material is challenging. “I never write a film to show something. Once you reach a given age, you have to contend with the suffering of someone you love,” Haneke said. “It’s inevitable – in my family as well.” In telling this story of slow loss, Haneke made great effort to avoid heavy emotion, which might have been an easy method of audience seduction. With that backdrop, Riva said she became familiar with Anne as she played her on set for over two months. She also noted that she almost doesn’t think of the person she sees on screen as herself. “Michael said to me, ‘Don’t be overly sentimental when playing Anne,’ and then it really clicked into place for me,” she said. “When I watch the film I get the feeling I’m seeing someone else. Obviously it’s not a universe steeped in beauty. I raced to the set every morning. I was in a hurry to get back to the set to act.” Added Haneke: “Within a dialog you have to find the right emotions. It’s like an opera in that sense.”
