I don’t think I’ve done a post on Diane Kruger before, which is strange, considering I have a pretty well-established thing for hot foreign blondes. Anyway, it’s time to rectify that in the best possible way — with these pictures of the German actress in a bikini. Now if she could just take off that top so we can get a better look at her… Oh, and the hat too, I guess. I just want to make sure Diane makes a good first impression on the site.

Diane Kruger is some bitch who is pushing 40 who is probably best known for being in a long term relatonship with Joshua Jackson that weenie from Dawson Creek…yes I just called someone a weenie…but only cuz that’s the best word to describe Joshua Jackson…. Or maybe she is know for her own stab at hollywood being in shitty blockbusters like Troy and National Treasure and the upcoming National Treasure 3 whatever else she has done before this glorious photoshoot of her pantsless for Marie Claire France…. What matters is that she is german and thus likes shitting on and being shit on….and that what makes her really matter…

Also in Wednesday morning’s round-up of news briefs, Kino Lorber Films picks up a Tribeca Film Festival doc that spotlights the culture wars in the Texas school system. Juliette Lewis is in talks to star opposite Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts in an upcoming pic, while Diane Kruger is set for a role of a 19th century Kentucky stepmom to a U.S. president. Tribeca’s The Revisionaries Picked Up for North America Kino Lorber Films acquired the documentary for the U.S. and Canada. The Revisionaries spotlights how public education has become the latest battleground in a new wave of cultural, religious and ideological clashes, with local Texas education board members advancing agendas of Creationism and other religious issues in public schools. The film exposes how their tactics have had the effect of rewriting key aspects of U.S. democracy and are affecting educational policies at the national level. The New York-based distributor will open the feature nationwide in October and PBS’ Independent Lens will broadcast the feature in early 2013. Around the ‘net… Rush Limbaugh: Batman Villain Named ‘Bane’ to Hurt Mitt Romney The right-wing radio host said that the group behind Warner Bros’ The Dark Knight Rises are trying to brainwash audiences by naming the pic’s villain “Bane.” Bain Capital is Romney’s former employer, which has been criticized for outsourcing American jobs overseas, Deadline reports .

Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted was an unexpectedly charming addition to the summer’s kiddie flick franchise pile-up, better and stranger than, honestly, it needed to be in a subgenre that is, Pixar aside, usually just about merchandising potential and providing enough bright moving objects to occupy young attention spans for 80 minutes. People hoping for the same pleasant surprise when escorting offspring to Ice Age: Continental Drift might as well pre-crush those hopes in advance before donning their 3-D glasses — the film, the fourth in the series from Blue Sky Studios, is just a sugary jumble of goofy voices, hyperkinetic action scenes and rote plot elements that rolls forward just enough to get us to the de rigueur pop song that plays over the closing credits. Ice Age: Continental Drift finds the series’ makeshift herd of glacial period animals still together and not eating each other (the carnivores in the group presumably have learned to eat only non-speaking extras). Mammoths Manny (Ray Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah) have a now teenage daughter named Peaches (Keke Palmer) whose best friend, molehog Louis (Josh Gad), is nursing an inconvenient cross-species crush on her. (She, unfortunately for him, has eyes only for fellow mammoth Ethan, voiced by rapper Drake). Saber-toothed tiger Diego (Denis Leary) remains grumpy, while sloth Sid (John Leguizamo) is still ignorantly blissful, even when the family that abandoned him stops by to leave his senile Granny (Wanda Sykes) in his company and then takes off immediately after. The plot’s precipitated by the series mascot Scrat (Chris Wedge), an acorn-loving saber-toothed squirrel whose journey always frames and runs parallel to the main storyline, and who triggers the rapid breakup of the continents (a process that took millions and millions of years but here happens in maybe a day) by planting his prized nut in a place that manages to crack open the Earth’s crust. The shifting land masses break up the mammoth family, forcing Ellie, Peaches and all to march toward safer territory while Manny, Diego, Sid and Granny end up adrift in the sea for an oddly nautical adventure. They encounter and do battle with pirates, led by the ape Captain Gutt (Peter Dinklage), who use icebergs as ships they’re able to steer with helpful twig technology. Ice Age: Continental Drift is a children’s animated movie, and to complain about it not making sense, not having characters who require more than a one-adjective description, and not being very funny to anyone over the age of 6 may seem beside the point, — except, well, Pixar has proven things needn’t be this way. Ice Age: Continental Drift isn’t bad so much as its devoid of anything particularly good, including the animation. The characters in general have the odd texture of ratty stuffed toys rather than furry living animals, and they’re designed in such a way as to sometimes defy expression — when the camera closes in on Manny’s face to show his alarm, it ends up only framing his two eyes and a giant, fuzzy stretch of trunk, as if someone forgot we wouldn’t be able to see his mouth. The teenage mammoths have been given strange human haircuts on top of their Elephantidae heads, as if they’re a meld between an extinct species and a Bratz doll. It’s Sid and Scrat who come off the best by being built like they belong in the Looney Tunes-esque elastic universe from which the film’s action takes its cue. When Sid melts into a heap after eating a paralyzing berry, the clever physicality of it — Manny scoops him up and tosses him to safety on a glacier, only to have him slide right bonelessly off — is entertainingly done. And Scrat’s voyage has the freedom of the surreal, from the giant ball-bearing that he bounces off of at the center of the world to the map he finds at the bottom of the ocean, the pressure squashing him to a fraction of his original size. While the main characters have battles on glaciers and encounters with sirens who seem to be there only to fill out the runtime, Scrat skitters across the surface of the water and finds his way to a Greece-inspired saber-toothed squirrel utopia that he instantly ruins. And he, blissfully, doesn’t speak. The other animals, sadly, do, in their array of celebrity voices (Nicki Minaj, Aziz Ansari, Nick Frost and Seann William Scott also pop up behind different animated faces), and they grumble their way through an assembly of prepackaged dramas that feels like a few sitcom episodes mashed together — Diego fights and then falls for pirate crew member Shira (Jennifer Lopez), Manny learns not to be so overprotective of his growing daughter and Sid realizes he’s not a screw-up or something. It’s the kind of indifferent filmmaking that wouldn’t be so offensive if it weren’t so often hugely financially successful — it’s the effort of a large group of people, plenty of them talented, to turn out something barely adequate.

The fun never ends: “When filming 1960’s Kidnapped , he became friends with the Australian actor Peter Finch, also a fond boozer. When they were refused a drink after closing time during a session at an Irish pub, they wrote a cheque to buy the pub so they could have another drink. Having sobered up the next day, they rushed back to cancel their purchase. They ended up befriending the landlord, even attending his funeral. While sobbing as the casket was lowered, the pair soon realised they were at the wrong funeral. Their pal was being buried 100 yards away.” [ The Independent ]
Snoozy but sumptuous, Benoît Jacquot’s quasi-historical drama Farewell, My Queen isn’t going to set the world aflame: The experience of watching it is something like lounging on a satin divan, being fanned lazily with a bouquet of ostrich plumes. But maybe that’s part of what you want in a picture about the last days of Marie Antoinette’s rule: The languorousness of Farewell, My Queen recalls the last days of summer, though in this case the air is quivering not with the chirping of crickets but with a whisper of foreboding. The picture coasts along quite nicely on the strength of its contemplative sensuality, its macaron colors, and the exquisite beauty of its three chief actresses, Léa Seydoux, Virginie Ledoyen and Diane Kruger. Oh, and there’s nudity in it too, not to mention lesbian undertones – or are they overtones? I knew that would get your attention. Kruger plays Marie Antoinette, and in our first glimpse of her, she’s just awakened from what must have been a hell of a beauty sleep: Bedecked in a cream-colored nightie and sitting up in her bed at Versailles, she looks fresh and creamy and glowing, like a prized blond peach. One of her servants, the quiet but astute Sidonie Laborde (Seydoux), has come to read to her. Shall it be a novel or a fashion magazine today? It quickly becomes clear that Sidonie harbors a special fondness for her mistress and seeks to protect her from the gossip of the court — or worse. Meanwhile, the queen lavishes attention and worry on her own special favorite, the regal and somewhat icy Gabrielle de Polignac (Ledoyen). Sidonie hopes that someday the queen will single her out; but her hopes are dashed when she learns that her mistress has a special task in mind for her, one that could demand the ultimate sacrifice. There are men in Farewell, My Queen : Xavier Beauvois plays Louis XVI, and Michel Robin appears as his historiographer. But really, who cares about them? The picture also gives an appropriate sense of the court’s decadence while being only marginally tolerant of the queen’s taste for expensive finery: I suspect that Farewell, My Queen is the movie that many of the detractors of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette wanted that picture to be. Coppola didn’t want to punish her heroine, and her refusal to bow to that kind of moralism turned off plenty of people who thought the movie should have been more politically astute. But Farewell, My Queen — which was based on the novel by Chantal Thomas — is in its own way sympathetic to the ill-fated ruler. One servant claims to understand why Marie Antoinette spends hours staring at her accumulated luxury goods: “That’s how she forgets she’s queen.” She also longs for love, and her ardor for Gabrielle appears to skim lightly over any perceived impropriety of feelings or behavior. Her desire is only partly carnal; it seems that Gabrielle is a kind of sisterly twin to her. Seydoux’s Sidonie registers all of this not with pouty disappointment but with greater resolve, and, ultimately, a resignation that’s a kind of victory. Meanwhile, she’s the most overtly sensuous of the three: Kruger’s beauty is fine-grained and luminous, and Ledoyen’s is cool as pink marble, but Seydoux has both brains and a thumping pulse. The picture’s painterly production design and cinematography (by Katia Wyszkop and Romain Winding, respectively) ensure that everything is gorgeous to look at, but Jacquot never lets the picture slide into total sterility – even the sight of Seydoux scratching her mosquito bites is vaguely libidinous. Farewell, My Queen may move along at a stately pace, and it may not cut very deep. But even if it’s essentially little more than a pretty porcelain figurine, it’s one that at least nods to the glow and warmth of real flesh. Follow Stephanie Zacharek on Twitter .

In EW’s upcoming cover interview, Magic Mike stars Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey fondly remember the moment on set when excited extras tasked with stuffing McConaughey’s man-thong with dollar bills accidentally (or not) ripped the banana hammock right off. What’s that, EW? You want me to watch a behind-the-scenes video of McConaughey striking poses while Tatum splashes around breakdancing in a pool of water? Well, fine . (To peek at Tatum stepping up to the McConaughey in said video, head here .) It took me a good while to come to terms with just how much I actually really want to see Magic Mike even though it’s about male strippers and almost nothing in real life appeals to my womanly senses less than men prancing around in g-strings. I blame it on the power of the Channing. McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer, and that one guy from True Blood don’t hurt, either. So I guess I understand how these lady extras on the Magic Mike set were swept up in the moment when McConaughey and his magical abs gyrated in their faces or whatever. “Make it rain on McConaughey!” they probably thought to themselves as they scrambled, George Washingtons in hand, toward his oh-so-delicate thong. And then, snap — OOPS! Let McConaughey retell the moment in his own words: “I stayed in sequence,” he says proudly. “I went for the tuck. [Mimes covering his manhood] I went for the roll. [Mimes doing a forward roll] And I finished the dance.” Like a pro. Good advice to keep in mind, fellas. Especially you, Joey Lawrence of Blossom fame, who coincidentally, in other news, might need to start stockpiling such tips. Because, according to TMZ : Joey Lawrence is joining the Chippendales. Whoa, indeed! [ EW , TMZ ]
