The fate of the world is in Brad Pitt’s hands! I, for one, couldn’t think of anyone more capable. Check out the latest clip from World War Z : World War Z Clip – Mother Mature Pitt stars as Gerry Lane, a man who leaves his family behind to travel the world looking for a cure to the zombie pandemic that threatens humanity. Here’s hoping he finds one! And that it’s not something like “be kinder to others,” because that’s not happening. Mirielle Enos, James Badge Dale, David Morse, Ludi Boeken, Matthew Fox, Fana Mokoena, and David Andrews round out the cast, with Marc Forster directing. Prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse on June 21.
Nick Stahl was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold, a la Britney Spears and Paris Jackson , last night after being taken to an L.A. hospital, TMZ reports. Stahl, whose long struggle with drugs, alcohol, and other personal issues rivals that of Eddie Furlong , was transported to the facility around 3:30 a.m. Details about circumstances of why he was hospitalized and placed on psychiatric hold are unclear at this time, but it’s clearly a sad spiral for Nick Stahl . He recently said he was committed to turning his life around, too, after he went missing, went to rehab, went missing again and was arrested for a lewd act. Here’s hoping he gets it together … this time.
Kelly Clarkson singing Coldplay? Like Usher singing Foster the People , it’s a cover we can’t say we saw coming, but one you’ll find is memorably good. The American Idol winner and Duets star paid a visit to the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge – the same venue as Usher’s aforementioned cover – last week. On it, she took on the Coldplay and Rihanna hit “Princess of China” in stripped down, acoustic rendition featuring just guitar, mandolin and vocals. Watch below as she nails both Rihanna ‘s part and Chris Martin’s: Kelly Clarkson – Princess of China (Live)
Nick Stahl’s family and friends are once again searching for the missing Terminator actor after he bailed on rehab against his doctor’s orders days ago. Stahl, who was reported missing last month before contacting friends and family and entering treatment, has disappeared anew, according to reports. “He’s been missing for about four days,” the actor’s estranged wife, Rose Murphy Stahl, confirmed to E! News Monday. “I don’t want to comment any further.” After checking out of rehab, the Terminator 3 star went to stay at a friend’s. He was then seen in downtown L.A., but after that, Stahl returned back to his friends. He has not been spotted since he left a friend’s house Thursday. The source says: “He’s disappeared. We can’t find him anywhere. He hasn’t made contact with anyone. We are all just desperately looking for him.” “Everyone just wants him to come home,” the source adds, with no luck so far. “It’s just a terrible situation. We are searching, but we’ve had no solid leads.” Here’s hoping he surfaces safe and sound once again. [Photo: WENN.com]
Actor Nick Stahl’s family filed a missing-person report Monday, but there were ongoing issues that predated the Terminator 3 star’s disappearance. According to court papers, he was involved in a custody battle with wife Roseann, who reported Nick Stahl missing , over their 2-year-old daughter Marlo. She filed in February requesting that Nick not be allowed unsupervised visits with their daughter. She also requested both legal and physical custody. Nick and Roseann are still married, but estranged and living apart. Roseann, 30, also stated that in 2011 she estimated the Terminator Salvation actor’s income to be $500,000 while she listed her own income as $0. She said her total monthly expenses were $6,065. In March, she subsequently requested Nick pay $3,807 monthly in child support, and he agreed. It’s unclear if Nick Stahl’s drug problems played a role in his disappearance, but they were bad enough to worry Roseann at the time he vanished. He was granted only supervised visitation with their child, however, and was barred from consuming alcoholic beverages or narcotics within 24 hours. He was also ordered to provide a negative drug test result for marijuana, cocaine and alcohol within 24 hours prior to every scheduled visitation. “Thank you for the kind words,” Roseann tweeted, along with a plea for anyone with information about Nick’s whereabouts to contact the LAPD.

Posted onDecember 3, 2010by|Comments Off on REVIEW: Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey Are Prisoners of Love in I Love You Phillip Morris
There’s plenty of sweetness at the core of Glenn Ficarra and John Requa’s bold, bleak little comedy I Love You Phillip Morris, in which Jim Carrey plays a gay con man who meets and falls in love with a sweet Southern boy played by Ewan McGregor — while the two are in prison, no less. Ficarra and Requa — the writers of Bad Santa , making their directorial debut — set an ambitious mark for themselves and don’t quite hit it. This is a love story in which one of the partners repeatedly does some really bad stuff, and while it’s easy enough to admire him for his ability to get away with it all, it’s harder to square the way he so cheerfully dupes innocent people, including his beloved. Posing as a lawyer when you’ve never even been to college? Bilking the company you work for (and whose employ you entered under false pretenses) out of millions? Whatever happened to just sending flowers?

Say what you will about his provocative, polarizing films, but don’t think for a minute Darren Aronofsky ever takes the path of least resistance. The director’s latest, Black Swan , springs from a place from which few filmmakers emerge alive — the hyper-competitive world of ballet, where, upon earning the role of the Swan Queen in a new adaptation of Swan Lake , young prima ballerina Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) commences down the road to paranoia, lust and madness.

Well, that was fast. Mere days after Gun ‘s heavily armed 50 Cent appeared to sprint away with the honor of the year’s most unfortunate movie poster, along comes the thriller Dead Awake to overtake that lead. I know, I know: What the hell is Dead Awake? You mean other than awesome ?
