Penelope Cruz in the 2013 Campari Calendar of the Day

Lady in fucking red…holy shit….turns out that I am down with any alcohol company who doesn’t advertise on this site because they are snobs and too busy spending 100s of thousands of dollars on Penelope Cruz, the Oscar winning Spanish actress you may or may not have heard of, but have probably seen her fucking nose, at some point or another….because that’s the signature feature that she’s helped big nosed women come to terms with over the years….as the media told us she was beautiful… I know this cuz I used to fuck a girl with a big fucking nose…I’m talking offensively big…and she was convinced she looked like Penelope Cruz….when really…she looked like a girl with a big fucking nose…but that didn’t stop her from getting with the likes of me…when really she should have been with far less attractive men…but Penelope Cruz got her through it…like she is getting through me…with this hot…red…glamour shoot for Campari…. I want to dirty up this high quality, high production loveliness with my genitals….and she is not even naked or not a 40 year old mom….

WATCH: Kristen Stewart Channels The New Bella Swan In ‘Today’ Interview

As Bella Swan goes, so goes Kristen Stewart . The Twilight saga star appeared on Today  on Wednesday to talk a bit about her evolution from passive heroine to ass-kicking vampire in Breaking Dawn – Part 2 , and ended the interview with a quote which suggests that,  like Bella, Stewart has learned to be more of a bad-ass when it comes to her fans’ and the media’s prying into her personal life.    Stewart looks typically uncomfortable self in the clip below, and awfully tired.  When the Today cameras first zoomed in on her, I thought the dark circle beneath her right eye looked like a shiner. But what made an even bigger impression was the way in which the actress handled the inevitable question about her off-screen relationship with Robert Pattinson . Keep in mind that, in the clip. Stewart is facing three interviewers by her lonesome:  Savannah Guthrie, Matt Lauer and Natalie Morales. That’s not easy, though four people took part in Stewart’s 2009 Today interview for Eclipse . Guthrie gets the RPatz question in just as the Today theme music begins signaling that the interview segment is ending. “Kristen, you have so many fans, and they will be mad at us for not asking,” she says before asking if Stewart and Pattinson are back together. Watch Stewart’s face as she processes the question.  She flashes a split-second expression of annoyance before responding with an answer that would probably meet the new Bella’s approval:  “Funny you mention that,” Stewart replied in a deliciously deadpan manner before putting a nice sharp stake in heart of the off-screen romance story.  “I’m just going to let people watch whatever little movie they think our lives are and go for it. Keep them guessing, I always say.” A little mystery goes a long way. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

Robert Pattinson Reflects On Twilight And Bella’s Vampire Transformation In Oz

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 machine is underway and the film’s on and off-screen couple are headed out on the road – though separately for now. Kristen Stewart headed to Tokyo to talk up the wildly successful conclusion to the vampire franchise, while Robert Pattinson flew Down Under for his whirlwind of engagements in Australia. While Twilight distributor is holding a strict “no-go” as far as questions about the real-life R-Patz/K-Stew drama that gripped segments of the celebrity-fueled chatter world in late summer/early fall, Pattinson did bring her up at a meeting with Oz journalists and more on his final play as Edward Cullen. Media hounds have prognosticated a real-life reconciliation though Pattinson stayed on script, only talking up the vampire finale. He gave Stewart a shout-out for her transformation into a vampire in the series. “Yeah, she was really excited about being a vampire. Everybody else who’d been pretty consistently in the movies, they’d obviously been playing a vampire like every day for ages. And so it’s funny seeing someone suddenly come into it and try and figure out their own version of the physicality and the mentality of it. But her character has a different thing, because she’s supposed to find it really easy. It’s supposed to be a natural progression for her to become a vampire, it’s supposed to be simple. So I guess it was kind of different. ” The previous four Twilight features have grossed over $3.2 billion worldwide and the features have catapulted Pattinson, Stewart, Taylor Lautner and a host of others into stardom (some into stratospheric stardom) though Pattinson gave a careful response when asked if he’d take part in a new series spin-off if the chance should arise. “I don’t say ‘definitely not’ to anything. Just in case.” Pattinson recalled how he almost quit acting before the first Twilight landed in his lap, but naturally the series changed all that. “Yeah, it is very odd. I think that a lot of actors go through the same thing, when you’ve literally gotta be just like ‘Ugh, this is pointless.’ That’s the only time you ever seem to get any jobs – you’ve gotta be at rock bottom! But yeah, it’s funny. I was like fully, fully intending not to do it anymore, and then this came up.” He said earlier this year during an interview with ShortList.com that he felt sort of “useless” playing the same part over and over. “You just run out of ideas,” he quipped. “You don’t know what to do any more. I’m not trying to get away from it. You’re screwing yourself, you’re saying you think your work is shit if you try to get away from it. And I never thought it was. I kind of got to the end of my inspiration. You get to the point where you’re like, ‘I don’t want to do a film for a teen audience any more.'” Post- Twilight promotion, Pattinson will be heading back to Australia for his next project. “My next thing I’m doing in Australia with this guy David Michod who did ‘Animal Kingdom,’ and Guy Pearce,” he told MTV Australia. “That’s going to be fun.” Directed by Bill Condon, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 opens in the U.S. November 16th. The Twilight gang will undoubtedly be heading to the States for more Breaking Dawn talk – and perhaps in the same room. [ Sources: Yahoo! , MTV Australia ]

Holy Block Party! 5 Reasons To Look Forward To ‘LEGO Batman: The Movie’

LEGO has released the trailer for  LEGO Batman : The Movie — DC Super Heroes Unite , the feature-length version of the video game sequel that will be released in 2013 on Blu-Ray, DVD and via digital download, that’s based on the toy building-block adaptation of the comic. That’s four levels of franchising away from the source material, which means we’re  more than halfway to Kevin Bacon . But despite sounding like the Inception   of marketing, the movie looks great.  Here are six reasons why:  1. It actually looks funny.  The LEGO video game franchise, which has also adapted the Indiana Jones , Star Wars and Harry Potter universes, produces the equivalent of Mel Brooks parody movies for button mashers. While these games are never particularly inspired, they’re not blatant cash-ins either. Each is stuffed with genuine love for the source material and loaded with obscure collectibles and knowing in-jokes for fans, such as the scene in the above trailer where the Flash catches a boomerang with a look of contempt in his eyes that says, Really?  You’re  actually attempting to stop the Fastest Man Alive with a spinning chunk of wood?  An unexpected explosion reveals the Penguin, in full tuxedo costume, playing with fish in the bath, and when Harley Quinn declares something to be a riddle a certain green-clad Batman villain plaintively wails “Hey, that’s my line!” The Bat-Signal even becomes a visual joke when Superman throws Bats into the sky. The toy setting establishes a light-hearted attitude, and the trailer indicates that the movie will take full advantage of that. 2. It’s A Justice League Movie Assembling the Justice League  for the big screen has been a cinematic dream for decades. Marvel took  five movies to get ready for their equivalent, assembling The Avengers   to multi-billion dollar success. With DC planning to release its Justice League movie in the summer of 2015  (when Avengers 2 debuts),  the LEGO movie offersoffers  skips straight to the action, treating fans to an ensemble cast. 3. Restraint All LEGO movies rely on the gimmick that things break apart and have to be reassembled. Luckily even LEGO knows that now, and it seems to be  showing some restraint with the premise instead of turning the whole movie into a computer-generated building demo. The central plot of the film is Lex Luthor inventing the “Deconstructor”, a device which can breakdown  anything into its component parts. You wouldn’t think a genius would be required to figure out such a task in a LEGO world, but apparently it was. Thankfully, although there are bound to be a few spectacular dismantlings in the movie (and, I’m betting, at least one blurred scene of the Flash reassembling something with super speed), the trailer indicates that there’s more to the movie than that. Besides, there’s no topping the scene in the Star Wars short Revenge of the Brick in which Obi Wan Kenobi uses the Force to break up his own fighter so that it can evade enemy missiles. 4. Perfect Graphics One advantage of depicting computer-generated plastic blocks and other geometric shapes is that the current technology is well-suited to the task. With these basics covered, more of  the animation budget can be spent on interesting design and exciting special effects instead of weeks spent attempting to get human hair to look better than painted plastic. In this movie, that’s what it’s supposed to look like. 5. Imagination The trailer isn’t just true to the toys, it’s true to the function of toys — playing! At one point during an air-and-sea chase involving Batman and the Joke, the Caped Crusader dips one of the Batplane’s wings into water to generate a wave that grounds the Joker-boat. If that doesn’t sound like a scenario that a kid would create with his LEGO toys, then you don’t have kids. Or LEGO. 6. Batman Always Wins Batman’s whole deal is succeeding in any situation — even conversion to other media (something other comic characters famously have trouble with.) The Batman Begins trilogy has been one of the blockbuster successes of the decade, Arkham Asylum made him the first hero to have a good video game in this console generation, then Arkham City showed he could do it again — bigger, and better — whenever he wanted. The question is whether he can also be king of the blocks. Luke McKinney loves the real world, but only because it has movies and video games in it. He responds to every tweet.

The Side-Eye: Tyler Perry Puts The Media On Blast!!

Tyler’s still spinning interviews towards his friendship with Whitney as he tries to push through bad movie reviews …again. According to Essence: Tyler Perry has been vocal about his longtime friendship with the late Whitney Houston, and he recently revealed in an interview on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight that he was disgusted with how the media handled her death. “It was so blatantly disrespectful,” he said of the paparazzi who tried to take pictures of the R&B singer in her death. “I understand she was a superstar, but she didn’t deserve to be treated that way in the media toward the end.” Perry, who supplied the plane for Houston’s funeral, described how he tried to keep her body protected from the public’s eye. “We tried to send a hearse as a decoy. They found out we had the body in a van and there were paparazzi 50 deep following the van. I had to move the plane into the hangar, close the door and bring the van in,” he said. But even during this process, Perry said one of the hired drivers tried to take pictures of them putting her body on the plane. “It was just beyond disrespectful for her family and everyone else,” he said.
