Paris Hilton Plays My Favorite Scene: ‘Who Was It? Ben Stiller or Matt Damon?’

Say what you will about Paris Hilton, but the blond heiress/actress/socialite/entrepreneur arrived promptly for NBC Universal’s Television Critics Press tour event on Thursday night in Pasadena, and gamely talked to each and every reporter who requested a word. Like Movieline! Ahead, Paris — who stars on the new Oxygen series The World According to Paris — discusses her perceived life as a dumb blonde and her favorite film scene (which, ironically, is from a movie about a dumb blonde).

REVIEW: Stellan Skarsgård Leads Moody Ex-Con Drama Somewhat Gentle Man

The stoic drama A Somewhat Gentle Man is photographed in a palate of steel gray tones that match Stellan Skarsgård’s complexion. It’s a low-blood-pressure version of the kind of thing James M. Cain used to do in his sleep, and its filmmaking accomplishment is as minimalist as its narrative ambition is minimal. Man has the confidence of knowing exactly where it wants to go, and when it wants to arrive; however, you may be just as familiar with the territory as the driver.

Glee’s Heather Morris on Her Viral Rap Video, Sofia Vergara and Her Lesbian Make Out Scene

The second season of Glee has been an important one for Heather Morris. The actress — who portrays Brittany, the ditzy New Directions member who believes that Dr. Pepper is a dentist — became an official series regular, made her singing debut (in her character’s titular episode), out-danced Britney Spears and established herself as the most reliably funny actor on the Emmy-nominated series. Knowing all of this, Movieline made a point to track down the Arizona-raised back-up-dancer-turned-actress at Tuesday night’s Fox TCA Press Party to ask the break-out triple talent about her hilarious viral rap video , the possibility of a lesbian relationship on the show and her character’s patented one-liners.

See How Michel Gondry Accepted Sony’s Offer to Direct The Green Hornet

As the wonderful Michel Gondry told Movieline this week , his decision to direct The Green Hornet — a film he had played footsie with since 1997 — was not some desperate money grab, but rather the fruition of a lifelong dream: “I came into Hollywood trying to do this movie.” Was Gondry nervous then when Sony finally offered him the opportunity? The director — who is also quite the proficient sketch artist — was kind enough to draw his feelings on the matter for Metro reporter Ned Ehrbar . Click ahead to see the results.

J.J. Abrams Plays My Favorite Scene: ‘It’s the Best Work Either of Them Ever Did’

Here’s a very special edition of Movieline’s game for cinephiles, “My Favorite Scene.” Usually we ask our subjects ( like Zach Gilford ) simply to name their favorite film scene of all-time, and a reason why. With Lost creator and illustrious film producer J.J. Abrams, though, we learned a bit more than usual. Join us as the Super 8 writer/director names his favorite scene, his favorite set, and the woman whose death almost inspired him to write a play about his childhood.

‘Why Were They There?’: Screenwriting Guru Robert McKee Takes on Right-Wing Attackers

Earlier this week, a contributor to the right-wing film and culture Web site Big Hollywood offered up the delightfully titled tale , “For $745 You Too Can Be Insulted By Famed Hollywood Screenwriting Teacher Robert McKee.” Author Ann McElhinney proceeded to recount her time in McKee’s celebrated (and, indeed, expensive) story seminar last October, time reportedly spent chafing under the instructor’s prodigious use of profanity, social criticism, “Bush bashing” and other liberal bloviation. A torrent of conservative bile followed in the site’s comments. Of course, anyone who’s seen Adaptation , featuring Brian Cox as the legendary — and legendarily irascible — writing mentor, could have warned McElhinney of at least some pedagogical turbulence ahead. So Movieline asked McKee on Wednesday: What, if anything, went wrong here?
