So On the Road is a movie based on Kerouac’s book of the same name…and it stars Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst…. The rumor is that Kristen Stewart has “Provocative” nude scenes in it….nude multiple times….trying to break free from her typecast shitty acting filled twilight stint….you know as much as I hate these bitches, I figure that as long as they try to re-invent themselves…the only way I don’t get annoyed of them reinventing themselves….by getting naked…I’m into it….. Her white trash – destined to be a street hooker background – who went off course…is doing a good job tapping into her natural born skills…. That is if his is actually her….I can’t be too sure.
I know, I know — to paraphrase a popular rejoinder to the overexposed, “How can I ever anticipate On the Road if it won’t go away?” Nevertheless, consider the two new clips released by IFC Films as complements to Brian’s coverage from Cannes , where the long-awaited Jack Kerouac adaptation premiered this morning. Via our video-devouring partners at ENTV , take a few minutes to enjoy Kristen Stewart’s aborted front-seat handy, Kirsten Dunst’s sweet Colorado slow-dance and Movieline favorite Sam Riley as the beneficiary of both. And if That’s not enough, hop over to our just-refreshed Cannes 2012 photo gallery for red-carpet pics. Read more of Movieline’s Cannes 2012 coverage here .
We are pleased to report that Kate Upton’s “Cat Daddy” dance is back on YouTube after a brief ban on the suggestive viral sensation. Fist-pump! Guess Kate, and her fans, showed YouTube who its (cat) daddy is. After abruptly yanking the 2012 SI cover girl’s provocative moves on Wednesday, the video-sharing website apparently realized it was doing the male gender a downright inhumane disservice and reinstated the clip . Kate Upton “Cat Daddy” Dance A source close to Upton says the blond bombshell was perplexed by YouTube’s decision, since her video contains no nudity or sexual content. According to the insider, the 19-year-old found it “completely silly.” “She couldn’t believe it,” said the source, who said Upton couldn’t see why her gettin’ freaky to the Rej2ctz track was banned , seeing that 1) she wears the same bikini in SI, and 2) there are plenty of more salacious videos. YouTube officials eventually reached the same, fixing their mistake. “With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call,” said a spokeswoman for the site. “When it’s brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it.” Thank you YouTube. And Terry Richardson, and of course, Kate.
Poof! Hermione Granger is no more. In anticipation of her next big screen adventure – the film Bling Ring , which is based on a group of Los Angeles teens who broke into the homes of celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan – Emma Watson has Tweeted a photo of herself on set. “Twitterers meet Nicki, Nicki meet twitterers : ),” Watson wrote along with the above photo, adding: “Nicki likes Lip Gloss, Purses, Yoga, Pole Dancing, Uggs, Louboutins, Juice Cleanses, Iced coffee and Tattoos.” And we love Emma, one of the most grounded, well-spoken young stars alive. Bling Ring will also feature Kirsten Dunst and Leslie Mann and be directed by Sofia Coppola. No release date has been announced yet.
Highbrow meets lowbrow this week on DVD and Blu-ray: First we stop by the art house, where Michelle Williams shines (and her buxom body double strips) in My Week with Marilyn (2011) and a full-frontal Kirsten Dunst mopes in Melancholia (2011). Then it’s off to the frat house, where you can feast your eyes on Shannon Elizabeth , Lisa Arturo , Denise Faye , and more as the first three American Pie movies hit Blu-ray. Plus, British beauties go bare in Killer’s Moon (1978) and Virgin Witch (1971), part of Redemption’s Euro-sleaze series on DVD and Blu-ray. More after the jump!
Emma Roberts was out doing some shopping today on a sunny day in Hollywood. Catch Emma along with Rashida Jones and Elijah Wood later this year in “Celeste and Jesse Forever”.
No matter how many gifting suites, D-list “celebrities” and/or head-splitting parties the malevolent forces of modern commerce may stuff into the wintry idyll of Park City over the next week, we’ll always have the movies. And as usual, “we” also means studios and distributors with money to burn and release slates to fill. Let the Sundance bidding wars begin! “This year’s Sundance Film Festival will be the biggest buyer’s market ever,” writes Steve Pond at TheWrap, and whether or not his prediction checks out, tires will be kicked and deals will be made — perhaps as soon as the credits roll on tonight’s openers The Queen of Versailles, Hello I Must Be Going , Wish You Were Here and Searching for Sugar Man . But with apologies to those films and other buzzy titles like Spike Lee’s Red Hook Summer , Stephen Frears’s Lay the Favorite , Julie Delpy’s 2 Days in New York and the hip anti-rom-com Save the Date — and in grand Movieline tradition — here are five others likeliest to have buyers fanning themselves with their checkbooks.

There was good news and bad news at the movies over the weekend, where the first big box office frame of the new year showed a nice bounce from the sluggishness afflicting the end of 2011. The bad news? The comeback was led by the film equivalent of a dirty diaper. Let’s have a look. 1. The Devil Inside Gross: $34,500,000 (new) Screens: 2,285 (PSA $15,098) Weeks: 1 Paramount’s microbudget Insurge label scored big again with its found-footage horror goods — well, maybe not “goods,” as the demonic-possession flick nabbed an ultra-rare CinemaScore of “F.” Wow! People hated this movie! So for those of you keeping track at home: $34.5 million worth of viewers went home nursing the aftertaste of battery acid, while Paramount now has the highest-grossing R-rated January opener ever. It’s nice to see 2012 off to such a mutually rewarding start at the multiplex. 2. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol Gross: $20,500,000 ($170,201,000) Screens: 3,555 (PSA $5,767) Weeks: 4 (Change: -30.3%) At least there’s this as well from the ‘Mount. Put it on a parade float and let’s just move on. 3. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Gross: $14,055,000 ($157,415,000) Screens: 3,603 (PSA $3,901) Weeks: 4 (Change: -32.7%) While no slouch, Holmes 2 looks decreasingly likely to match Iron Man 2 ‘s fest of besting the original at the box office, which I guess means Paramount (along with Marvel) can take even more consolation in having the superior Robert Downey Jr. franchise. To which Warners is all, “Oh yeah? Well, we have the best Jude Law franchise!” To which Paramount is all, “Jude who?” To which Warners is all, “Nice CinemaScore!” To which Paramount is all, “[Stony-faced fuming silence].” 4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Gross: $11,300,000 ($76,836,000) Screens: 2,950 (PSA: $3,831) Weeks: 3 (Change: -23.8%) Let’s hope this silences once and for all the critics who’ve called out Dragon Tattoo ‘s performance as underwhelming or soft: It’s doing pretty freaking well for a 150-minute R-rated rapey miserablist romp. $100 million is less than two weeks away at this rate, and $200 million is hardly out of the question if and when Oscar’s grace shines upon it. 5. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked Gross: $9,500,000 ($111,588,000) Screens: 3,425 (PSA $2,774) Weeks: 4 (Change: -42%) Against all odds, Chipwrecked continues to demonstrate its appeal among the naked crackhead demographic sturdy legs heading into its second month. High-five! [Figures via Box Office Mojo ] Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
