These pictures are from earlier in the month, when Adriana Lima was at some Turkish fashion event that I assume wasn’t for the Muslim crowd in Turkey, seeing as she was wearing a short skirt, showing off her legs, and even a little glimpse of what may or may not be her mom pussy that she kept a virgin, until she decided it was time to shit out a bunch of kids while also shitting on her career, but more importantly on her hot under 30 year old body, that if it wasn’t Catholic had a good decade of good left in her, proving yet again how religion fucks everything up… That said, I like to pretend I am looking or her virginity…up on some Virgin Mary hustle…because that is the foundation of religion…up skirt pics..

Despite her Lupus face…that’s what I call her pudgy little cheeks, because she has Lupus and because I assume she on some kind of steroids to help manage it, since Lupus is reverse HIV and not sexually transmitted, which is too bad when you think of it, because stories that came out yesterday say Bieber devirginized her something I have a hard time believing considering she was on Barney and the whole kids TV world, like school bus driving, is filled with pedos, would mean he would have Lupus too, and with that, we could hope for a premature death.. That said, other stories have come out today saying she was in Rehab last month, saying she fell off the rails, was abusing prescription pills like she was Philip Seymour, you know a tormented young millionaire who’s mom exploited her at 6 and who has always been trying to do her best as people watch, never living a normal life, never really being allowed to screw up, while surrounded by Bieber’s team who probably got her hooked on the pills in the first place..to forget that she had Bieber’s 9 inch cock in her… Either way, she’s in a sweater showing off her legs and I think she’s looking’ kinda cute, but I always like the broken down, damaged, tormented souls with horrible exploitative parents… TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE
Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death appears to be heroin related, according to investigators, though the cause of the actor’s death has not been made official. Officials confirmed Philip Seymour Hoffman dead Sunday at his New York apartment and a deadly strain of the drug as one of the operating theories. To be clear, law enforcement sources do not know any specifics about the heroin found in the Manhattan apartment where Seymour died at the age of 46. There were 10 bags found of the drug, however, eight of them empty. Here’s where it gets particularly interesting (and very scary): Authorities have been tracking a new strain of heroin that has killed dozens on the East Coast. Already in 2014, the heroin laced with fentanyl – an extremely potent drug prescribed for terminal cancer patients – has been making the deadly rounds. The strain is 100 times more powerful than morphine , according TMZ, and is so potent that it sometimes shuts down the respiratory system altogether. Sometimes called “Theraflu,” “Bud Ice” and “24K,” the heroin strain has been linked to five deaths on Long Island, 22 in Pennsylvania and 19 on Rhode Island. That’s all in January 2014. It’s become a major thing of late. We reiterate that police are not saying this is what caused Hoffman’s death, but officials say “everything’s in play” until they get results from toxicology. We’ll have those results for you when we know them. R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman Photos: Through the Years Open Slideshow 1.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s death on Sunday has left Hollywood shocked and saddened. Tons of celebrities have already taken to Twitter to react to the beloved actor’s passing, and now his Hunger Games family is making a statement, as well. Hoffman had nearly completed filming his role as Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee for the two-part Hunger Games conclusion, Mockingjay. On Sunday, director Francis Lawrence and The Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins spoke on behalf of the film’s cast and crew, saying: “Words cannot convey the devastating loss we are all feeling right now. Philip was a wonderful person and an exceptional talent, and our hearts are breaking.” “Our deepest condolences go out to his family.” Hunger Games ‘ production company, Lionsgate Films also made a statement: “Philip Seymour Hoffman was a singular talent and one of the most gifted actors of our generation.” “We’re very fortunate that he graced our Hunger Games family. Losing him in his prime is a tragedy, and we send our deepest condolences to Philip’s family.” Hoffman died of an apparent drug overdose in New York City at the age of 46.

This is so sad. And this information is what no one wanted to hear. Academy Award winning and distinguished actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was allegedly…
After entering in silence, Philip Seymour Hoffman recently checked out of a treatment facility and admitted that he spent about a year battling a major drug problem. The Oscar winner tells TMZ he fell of the wagon with prescription pills and eventually started doing heroin. But the star – who battled substance abuse in the past, yet had been clean for over two decades – recognized the escalating issue and checked himself into a detox center on the East Coast. He was there for 10 days, left on Friday and is already back to working on a film in Europe Hoffman credits “a great group of friends and family” for helping him seek assistance and will next be seen in Catching Fire . We wish him the best of luck wit his recovery.

“ Argo to win it all.” This has been the Oscar pundit thesis statement ever since Ben Affleck was left off the Best Director list and promptly blew over the Critics’ Choice and Golden Globe Awards in a whirlwind weekend of Oscar analysis. Every award Argo has gathered since that weekend last month has added to the confirmation bias. Affleck and his film established themselves as the storyline of the 2012 Academy Awards. But what about the several months leading up to the nominations? Remember when Les Miserables jumped ahead with a rapturous New York premiere? Remember when The Master exploded into the race with a series of secret screenings set up by Paul Thomas Anderson himself? Remember when Lincoln was predestined to win Best Picture, because War Horse lost last year? The storyline of 2012 isn’t Argo ; it’s confusion. And in keeping with that storyline, Movieline presents the “What The What?!” Oscars, a list of out-there-but-plausible winners in the hopes for a less predictable and more exciting show. All of my picks below go against the Argo storyline, as if it wasn’t coming at all. Just like in the film, Argo was a red herring all along. If all goes according to confusion, here’s what could happen: BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS “What The What?!” pick: Jacki Weaver , Silver Linings Playbook Based on previous ceremonies, this is potentially the first award of the night, and what better way to start off the night than ruining everyone’s ballots? An Anne Hathaway win has been too obvious, and when something is too obvious, voters tend to look for a way out. The same rule has been slowly killing Lincoln all season, which doesn’t play into Sally Field’s favor. The next choice would be Amy Adams in The Master , but here’s where we’ve got the Weinstein factor: somewhere in the season, Harvey looked at his prospects and picked the easy Silver Linings Playbook over the bold Master . Jacki Weaver’s nomination was baffling to begin with, and that same campaign leads to a win. BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR “What The What?!” pick: Philip Seymour Hoffman , The Master This category has been swirling around the dependably exceptional Hoffman all season. Christoph Waltz is picking up some late backlash with people commenting that what he does in Django is identical to what he won for in Inglourious Basterds . Tommy Lee Jones didn’t win a lot of support with a grouchy turn at the Golden Globes, not enough Academy voters bought Robert De Niro’s Katie Couric cry-fest, and Alan Arkin’s performance is not all that different from his turn in Little Miss Sunshine . Hoffman’s steadiness wins the day. BEST ACTRESS “What The What?!” pick: Naomi Watts , The Impossible Just like Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain, Watts is on her second Academy Award nomination. Lawrence has a natural cockiness that charms the Internet crowd, but fmakes her a difficult Oscar campaigner. Chastain was similar to Jeremy Renner in The Hurt Locker , delivering a revelatory, powerhouse performance that’s overshadowed by the film itself (I’m curious if Bigelow will ever direct someone to an Oscar). The storyline behind Emmanuelle Riva is that she’ll turn 86 on Oscar Sunday, but old and accomplished does not guarantee anyone an Oscar. (Six years ago, they overlooked freaking Peter O’Toole, so there’s the love shown for the emeritus crowd.). Watts is someone current, who the voters seem to love, and wins based on a familiar role in a tear-jerker film. BEST ACTOR “What The What?!” pick: Joaquin Phoenix , The Master A hypothetic discussion between prognosticators: “But Daniel Day-Lewis had it in the bag!” “If Jamie Foxx can win for Ray and Philip Seymour Hoffman for Capote , then DDL only makes sense!” “The Oscars love imitations.” “But it was just an imitation.” “No one really knows what Lincoln moved or sounded like.” “They didn’t want a history lesson.” “Phoenix also moved and spoke in a distinct style. Painfully.” “It looked like it hurt, moving all hunched over. He looked like he starved himself.” “The Oscars love pretty people breaking themselves down.” “This must be like Charlize Theron winning for Monster .” “But Phoenix trashed the Oscars.” “No more so than anyone else has in the past. And he hopped back on the trail at Harvey’s encouragement.” “Phoenix must’ve been destined for this. If Harvey has his back.” “I knew it was Phoenix all along!” “I said it first!” BEST DIRECTOR “What The What?!” pick: Michael Haneke , Amour Amour ’s glut of nominations showed there was serious affection for Haneke’s Palme d’Or winner, and it was clearly through the labor of Haneke himself. The Academy has a track record of not awarding prestige directors like Haneke or Malick or Hitchcock or Kubrick, but this is the year for weirdness. The most surprising choice would be Tarantino, but his Django stumping has sparked uncomfortable conversations, which leads to thought-provoking essays but not Oscars. (Plus, in this “What The What?” ceremony, he wins another Original Screenplay award). Spielberg, despite all the industry love, will be the poster child for Lincoln ’s struggles as the obvious choice. A Haneke win is the result of voters not knowing who to fall behind, so why not go with the smart Austrian? BEST PICTURE “What The What?!” pick: Zero Dark Thirty When the prognosticators decided Argo was in, everything else was out. ZDT riled up too much controversy and was done, because they had Argo, which was Diet ZDT . Well guess what: Out of left field comes ZDT for the win. It’s an amalgam of other nominees: it’s got the historical gravitas of Lincoln without the drag; it’s got the the true life thriller ending of Argo without the embellishment; it’s got the fire of Django Unchained without the mess; it stars a face of Young Hollywood who isn’t the too-cocky but too-familiar Jennifer Lawrence. It’s a massive critic success and has been victorious at the box office. A Zero Dark Thirty win would confuse everyone down to Kathryn Bigelow herself, but this has been a season of confusion, not surprises. Plenty of other things could happen to destroy Oscar ballots. Searching for Sugarman could lose Best Documentary; ParaNorman could win Best Animated Feature; Amour could lose Best Foreign Film if Haneke wins Best Director, like the latter is a consolation prize. Even if Argo wins the final prize on Sunday, it will still prove to be a bizarre year. Affleck was not nominated for Best Director, but somehow, an also-ran director became the discussion. The 2012 Oscar race has been strange, and here’s hoping Sunday is strange, too. John Hendel is a playwright from Los Angeles. Follow John Hendel on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
With the Academy Awards just three days away, the Internets are being overworked by bloggers and moviegoers obsessed with staying up on the latest in Oscar news. I also wouldn’t put it past awards season’s prime navigator Harvey Weinstein to have a boiler room full of trained chimpanzees plugging in Jennifer Lawrence’s name and ” Silver Linings Playbook ” into all the top search engines, such as Yahoo!, for instance. The web portal has collected some interesting data about Oscar-related searches, which I’ve culled below: * Jennifer Lawrence is the most searched Oscar-nominated actor this year. Searches for Jennifer Lawrence in the past year on Yahoo! are seven times higher than for Bradley Cooper . *Searches for Seth McFarlane are up 1644% in the past 7 days on Yahoo!.

With less than two weeks before the Academy Awards , the Oscar conversation is veering from “What now?” to “What if?” Amid all the talk of frontrunners and inevitabilities, some pundits are pondering the inscrutable. What if Oscar voters suddenly ignore all that Argo mojo (which got a further boost last weekend with Best Picture and Best Director wins at the BAFTAs)? What if the Best Supporting Actress race isn’t fait accompli , but instead, as Roger Ebert observed, asserts, as in years past, its independence as the category “where the voters like to throw a curve ball?” What if a BAFTA win earned Emmanuelle Riva a little Oscar Amour ? Let’s check out the Gold Linings Playbook to see how the pundits are calling the races this week: Academy Award For Best Picture A producer, an actor and a director — that sounds like the beginning of a joke, but this anonymous trio shared their Oscar ballots with The Los Angeles Times ’ Glenn Whipp. The results are another indication that several of the major Oscar races are at this late date, too close to call. They also hint that Oscar voters might want to, in the words of the Director, “reward the wealth of great work.” For Best Picture, the producer chose Zero Dark Thirty , the Director Argo , and the Actor Silver Linings Playbook . The latter should please Hollywood Elsewhere’s Jeffrey Wells, who this week issued a provocative call to arms against Argo to Oscar voters: “At this stage of the game, a vote for Lincoln or Pi is effing wasted…. Why stick to your guns at this stage? To what end? So you can say to yourself “I refused to budge!…I stuck by my principles!”? That and $1.75 will get you a bus ticket (Editor’s note: I checked with Metro and $1.75 won’t get you on the Silver Line—insert your own Playbook pun here). If you want to make a difference you need to stand up, man up, give it up and cast your vote for the one movie that has a real chance of stealing the Best Picture Oscar away from Argo. …” Wells’ ideal choice would be Zero Dark Thirty , but he puts it in the same “can’t possibly win” boat as Lincoln or Pi, and so he suggested Silver Linings Playbook for the block. This did not sit well with a good portion of commenters to his post. which Wells acknowledged the next day (“My suggestion was mocked, spat upon. But at least it was honest and constructive….”). Which brings up the role of the Oscar pundit: Is it to objectively track the ebb and flow of the Oscar race, or to act as advocate? I asked Awards Daily’s Sasha Stone, one of the first of the Oscar bloggers 14 years ago. She graciously emailed back: “Job one for an Oscar blogger is to read the race as accurately as possible…Every time an Oscar blogger pretends to know what all of the Academy are thinking God kills a kitten. Usually that information is coming from a publicist — an old trick that rarely works anymore. But sometimes it comes from someone like Anne Thompson who really works the beat, goes to the parties and screenings and talks to members. I don’t think it’s a foolproof way of producing reliable results but I usually take Anne’s word over just about anyone else’s because I know she’s in the thick of it.To survive in today’s (competitive) climate, you have to be a little of both: someone who can read the race and someone who advocates when necessary.” Discuss. 1.

Django Unchained 2013 Academy Awards: The Best Director Nominees With Ben Affleck , Kathryn Bigelow and Tom Hooper not even nominated, this category seems the most elusive. “It’s an exciting twist that leaves the Oscar race almost unprecedentedly free of bellwethers, as the five men in the running have won scarcely any major precursor awards between them,” writes In Contention’s Guy Lodge. In the aftermath of the BAFTAs, Vanity Fair ’s Julie Miller offered some tips for adjusting your Oscar pool ballot. She, too, seems stymied by this category. “The safe bet is on [Steven] Spielberg ,” she suggested, “for rallying Daniel Day-Lewis and screenwriter Tony Kushner and commandeering a decades-long production to make Lincoln .” Once again, the anonymous Academy voters who shared their ballots with Whipp were all over the map when it came to the Best Director race. The Director chose Benh Zeitlin for Beasts of the Southern Wild (“just floored me in the originality of his vision”), the Actor David O. Russell for Silver Linings Playbook , and the Producer Spielberg, but only because he couldn’t vote for the snubbed Kathryn Bigelow (It has come to this for Lincoln : On Abe’s birthday this week, the Associated Pr ess interviewed several filmgoers who reported falling asleep during the film). 1.Steven Spielberg ( Lincoln ) 2 David O.

Daniel Day-Lewis was in self-deprecating mode at the BAFTA awards poking fun at his painstaking and meticulous method and character preparation. In accepting his Best Actor award, he remarked that he had “stayed in character as myself for the last 55 years” in anticipation of winning a BAFTA.” Cannot wait to hear what he will say at the Oscars. 1.

Joaquin Phoenix ( The Master ) 2013 Academy Award Nominations For Best Actress Is a BAFTA upset win for 85-year-old Emmanuelle Riva really a game changer? Deadline Hollywood’s Pete Hammond and The Wrap’s Steve Pond think so. And there is some precedent. BAFTA-winner Marion Cotillard went on to win the Oscar without the benefit of a Golden Globe or SAG Award. The last two Best Actress Oscar-winners, Meryl Streep and Natalie Portman , were also BAFTA recipients. Oscar voters might also be swayed, not just by her devastating performance, but also by the fact that the actress whose screen breakthrough was in 1961’s Last Year at Marienbad would become the oldest Academy Award winner (she turns 86 Oscar night). When she attends the ceremony, it will be her first time in Los Angeles. Will Oscar voters be able to resist that backstory? Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain did themselves no favors by agreeing to appear on Zach Galifianakis ’ Funny or Die diss-com series, Between Two Ferns . The “Oscar Buzz Edition” premiered online this week, and it was a hit and mostly miss bag. Anne Hathaway , playing drunk, Christoph Waltz , Sally Field and Amy Adams acquitted themselves nicely, though. Adams, especially, should be given at least an honorary Oscar for the gravitas she brought to the line, “Don’t you ever fart on my tits again.” Me; I prefer Jiminy Glick. 1.

Quvenzhane Wallis ( Beasts of the Southern Wild ) 2013 Oscars: Best Supporting Actor Nominees Here, too, something may be in the air: a groundswell for Christoph Waltz, who earned a BAFTA award last weekend and also won a Golden Globe. He hosts Saturday Night Live this weekend and the mostly male, presumably Quentin Tarantino -loving writing staff will most likely be more inspired than they were for Jennifer Lawrence. While SAG-winner Tommy Lee Jones remains the frontrunner without doing any campaigning (he’s Ebert’s pick in his Outguess Ebert contest), Vanity Fair ’s Julie Miller reminds that ”the only time that Jones has triumphed in the category at a major awards show this season was at the SAG Awards, where Waltz was not nominated.” Meanwhile, the Weinstein Company is going full Scorsese for Robert De Niro (whom the Producer and the Actor picked on their Oscar ballots). In addition to the ad reminding voters that DeNiro hasn’t won an Oscar since Raging Bull , Glenn Whipp reports receiving a targeted ad which replays DeNiro’s recent emotional appearance on Katie Couric’s talk show. Over the top? That’s what they said about Melissa Leo’s self-produced glamor ads on behalf of The Fighter. And she still won. 1. Tommy Lee Jones ( Lincoln ) 2. Christoph Waltz ( Django Unchained ) 3.

New York magazine’s trendspotting Vulture column asked it best this week: “If Not Anne Hathaway, Then Who?” The question is moot (but this being an historically “gotcha” category, one hastens to add the qualifier, “or is it?)” 1.
