When the Oldboy poster was released the other day, all it did was fan the flames of “will this remake do justice to the original?” With the Oldboy red band trailer out today, the answer is a strong… maybe. Oldboy Trailer (Red Band) While it doesn’t look as disastrous as it could have been, a lot of remakes are, at first glance it doesn’t have the same feel as the original. Perhaps it’s the lighting or the way the action plays out. It might be nothing more than the fact it’s in English, it just doesn’t seem the same. I will give Josh Brolin this, I buy him as the main character. Didn’t think I would, but this trailer changed my mind. We have until October 25th to discuss this ad nauseam, so for now we’ll just leave it as, it has potential.
Miley “lil freakazoid” Cyrus speaks out on her twerk team shenanigans … Via OMG Yahoo!: Miley Cyrus stopped by KIIS FM’s “On Air With Ryan Seacrest” on Friday morning, but the 20-year-old didn’t chat about her current relationship status (in fact, Liam Hemsworth’s name wasn’t brought up once). Instead, Cyrus explained her “twerking” video that went viral this week. “I’m getting so many people writing to me about it,” she said. “It’s weird I’ve twerked for 6 million people. You can’t really explain (twerking),” Cyrus added. “It’s something that comes naturally. It’s a lot of booty action. The video shows Cyrus in a unicorn “onesie,” poppin’ her booty to the beat of J Dash and Flo Rida’s “WOP.” “I had a photo shoot earlier that day and so I didn’t really want to get dressed, so I wore the unicorn onesie and my friend was like, ‘Everyone is gone, we have the backdrop and the lighting.’ So I started dancing and said, ‘Here’s my phone will you record it real quick.’” Liam Hemsworth’s alleged bride-to-be (she is wearing her engagement ring again) joked this is the first thing people aren’t hating on her for recently. “If I could walk out — I could sing, like, at the Grammys and I will always be bashed and always have haters. I haven’t really seen one bad comment about the twerk video,” Cyrus laughed. “This is the first thing — I’m like, ‘I can’t sing, I can’t act, I’m dumb, I’m a hillbilly, but I can twerk so whatever.’” CLICK HERE if you missed Miley’s “twerking in a Unicorn onesie” video….

So the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony was last night, and my new favorite young hottie, Victoria Justice , was in attendance. I’m not sure when exactly lighting up a tree became a star-studded event, but if it’ll get Victoria to show up, I’m putting a Christmas tree in my bedroom this year. Anyway, because she’s disappointingly all covered up in these shots, I’ve also included a few of Victoria’s Twitter pictures from happier, warmer, less-clothed times. Enjoy. » view all 20 photos Related Articles: Amazing Victoria Justice Bikini Pictures Victoria Justice Bikini Pictures Are A Let Down Victoria Justice Needs A Napkin Victoria Justice Is Maturing Nicely Photos: WENN.com
Our Bieber Experience was on June 15th, 2012 and June 18th, 2012. We wanted to go to the Today Show so bad but my mom didn’t know if she was able to get us passes. The day before the concert, we got a call saying we have 3 VIP passes to the Today Show. Even when you have passes, you still need to get there early. We got to 30 Rock at about 3:00am on Friday morning. We were about the 5th person in line! We couldn’t believe what was happening. We waited forever until he finally came out to do his soundcheck. Before that, Scooter came out. He had to tell us not to pull on Justin because he could get hurt. He was telling us to listen when he looked right into my camera. We were in the centre/front row and Justin looked amazing. All the other girls around us weren’t as crazy as us. I (Juliana) was freaking out when he came to the center. I touched his abs when no one else was looking and then he looked straight down at me, smiled and lifted his shirt up. I honestly thought I was going to faint. I grabbed his hand a bunch of times and touched him a billion times. It was so much fun. After the Today Show we realized you can never see Justin too many times. We found out about Justins “secret” show at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. We knew you had to wait online at Macy’s Herald Square to get the tickets to the show so we got the tickets. When we got into the theatre, everyone was rushing in and it was super crowded. As we were being pushed, we heard someone say to us, “Excuse me ladies.” We looked up and it was Alfredo Flores! We couldn’t believe it was him. We asked for a picture and he said of course! We got our seats and we had really good seats! While waiting for Justin to come out, we were getting bored so we went into the lobby. It was totally empty except for one person. Kenny Hamilton! We asked for a picture and I asked if he said he remembered me from the Christmas Tree Lighting! I was freaking out. Towards the end of the concert, all the dancers and crew came out to thank us for coming. The night after was the MTV Special where Justin sang “Die In Your Arms”. My two friends were at the concert and I wasn’t. They saw Dan and were yelling his name but he wouldn’t answer. Then when they yelled,”DAN DO YOU KNOW JULIANA?!” And he said, “Yeah were friends!” When they told me this I couldn’t believe it! We had an amazing week with Justin and can’t wait for the Believe Tour! -@jkravxoxo @kaylainnes Follow this link: Our Bieber Experience was on June 15th, 2012 and June 18th,…
After seeing that awesome video of supermodel Kate Upton shaking her big breasts in a little bikini earlier this week, it never occurred to me that there might be some hot chicks out there who could be jealous of all the attention she’s getting. I keep forgetting the internet is filled with hotties looking for attention. Anyhow, here are Melanie Iglesias and Lisa Ramos shaking their money makers in their own sexy dance video. It’s good and all girls, but the lighting is terrible, the angle is all wrong and I don’t see any breasts bouncing around in an inappropriately tiny bikini. I’m just kidding…. This is awesome! I think I just poked a hole in my track pants. Related Articles : Melanie Iglesias Spring Break Bikini Party Stacy Keibler’s Maxim Magazine Pictures Stacy Keibler Strips -N- Shines!

Maria Menounos and Derek Hough may or may not be dating, but they’re clearly a perfect match on Dancing With the Stars. They scored the season’s first 30! That’s one way to top their on-stage kiss a few weeks ago. Derek and Maria performed the paso doble and judges were in love with what she turned in, awarding a trio of 10s for the first time in this fun 14th season. Carrie Ann Inaba joked “that dance sucked!” before remarking “You two were so on fire!” Bruno Tonioli, meanwhile, may still be having heart palpitations. Check out the first-place pair ‘s perfect paso doble below: Maria Menounos & Derek Hough – Paso Doble (DWTS Week 7)

Rihanna posted some pictures of her little tits in her bikini and from this angle she almost looks hot….you know a nice toned stomach from all her dancing around on stage….but then I see pictures of her at Coachelle performing in shorts….with an ass like this….. And it makes me think this shit is all smoke and mirrors and shot from thr right angle….reminding me that all girls on the internet only post pics of themselves that they think are hot…so whever you see a questionable picture of them on Facebook or instagram, realize that that is probably more truth that their hot pics….if anything…their worst pic is probably them at their best….and their best pics are just the freak second the lighting, angle, pose was right…. But the good news is….since this is the internet….we can only focus on their good…..cuz we don’t know these bitches in person….and don’t have to worry about truths when jerking off…I mean other than the obvious “we’re pathetic”….you know the shit that made us realize tears are a great lube! Here are some more of her coachella porno….
Sometimes a movie demands attention more for its “How” than its “What,” and writer-director Joseph Cedar’s Footnote falls squarely in that category. A movie about feuding father-and-son Talmudic scholars isn’t a surefire way to pack ’em in at the box office. But Cedar approaches his subject with so much wit and verve that he almost – almost – makes you forget you’re watching a movie about a very small, cloistered subset of academic obsessives whose life’s work is about as visually undynamic as you can imagine. How do you get action and drama out of pages and pages filled with Hebrew lettering? Somehow Cedar – who was born in New York but who has lived in Jerusalem since the age of 5 – pulls it off. Footnote was the Israeli Academy Award nominee for 2011; it lost to Asghar Farhadi’s A Separation , which provided the bullying Iranian government with an unfortunate opportunity to declare artistic supremacy (in addition to every other kind) over Israel. But while Footnote is a very different movie – it doesn’t pack the emotional charge that A Separation does – its craftsmanship is exceptional. Cedar has made a picture about scholarly obsession that really moves, even when its characters – who spend a lot of time at their desks, surrounded by piles of papers and books adorned with wrinkled sticky-note flags – don’t. Eliezer Shkolnik (Shlomo Bar-Aba) has spent years, practically a lifetime, analyzing various versions of the Talmud, getting deep into minute differences in wording and phrasing. He makes a big research breakthrough, but just as he’s about to announce it, a rival professor (played by Micah Lewensohn) scoops him. Eliezer, an uncommunicative and taciturn sort, retreats deeper into his research, hoping that one day he’ll be appreciated and awarded the coveted Israel Prize. Meanwhile his son, Uriel (Lior Ashkenazi), also a Talmudic scholar, surpasses his father in both the respect and likability departments – he’s more of a born star, and he certainly likes the limelight. When it’s announced, finally, that Eliezer has been chosen for the Israel Prize, Uriel is relieved and happy for his father – until he learns exactly what Eliezer’s achievement will cost him, both professionally and personally. Between Uriel’s outright ambition and Eliezer’s naked need for recognition and respect, the relationship between father and son – which was never, it’s suggested, particularly warm to begin with – becomes increasingly tense. Cedar has cleverly organized his movie into chapter-like sections that somehow make analyzing reams of ancient text seem like an adventure, or at least something worth devoting your life to. He uses some lively effects, most of which are quite simple: He suggests the feverishness of scholarly devotion, for example, by showing sheafs of text whizzing across the frame, accompanied by the appropriate whooshing sound effects. The picture has a surprising agility, considering it really is about two guys with furrowed brows whose heads are generally buried in books. There is still the fact, though, that scholarship is just never going to be the jazziest subject on the planet, and even Cedar seems to know it. In places, Footnote strains to delineate the tension between father and son, re-embroidering their conflicts over and over again, long after we’ve gotten the point. Cedar – who previously made the 2007 Israeli war drama Beaufort – has taken great pains to add lots of emotional dappling and texture to this story, though in the end, what we take away from the relationship between these two characters is pretty simple: They’re victims of your garden variety criss-crossing jealousy and resentment. Still, the actors keep the drama believable and engaging: Bar-Aba, in particular, pulls off the tricky feat of making an impenetrable character sympathetic, albeit in a maddening, “Would it kill you to crack a smile?” way. And both Bar-Aba and Ashkenazi comfortably navigate the dry comic touches Cedar has added to the story: We don’t know whether to wince or laugh when, early in the film, Uriel publicly praises his father with a long-winded, backhanded story that essentially makes the guy sound like an uncommunicative jerk. Then again, that’s what he is. What Cedar captures here is the way a father and son can be bound so tightly they almost choke the air out of one another. You can’t exactly call it affection; it’s that far more complicated thing we call kinship. Follow Stephanie Zacharek on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
Unemployment is bad, but things like What’s Your Number are apparently worse: “In the overall (all countries) adjusted model, adolescents with higher exposure to alcohol use in movies were significantly more likely to have engaged in binge drinking, even after controlling for age, gender, family affluence, school performance, television screen time, sensation seeking and rebelliousness, and frequency of drinking of peers, parents, and siblings.” The most troubling part of this study might be its definition of binge drinking as five or more drinks in one sitting, which I otherwise tend to refer to as “lunch.” [ Pediatrics (PDF) via Deadline ]
