Last January, when director Lucky McKee debuted his latest horror pic, The Woman (about a family man who traps and imprisons a feral lady he finds in the woods) at the Sundance Film Festival , he got quite the audience reaction; one moviegoer fainted during the film’s brutal denouement, and another stood up at the post-film Q&A to berate McKee over the film’s value. Today, we’ve got the first trailer for the controversial pic; watch it and decide — does The Woman appear to be a work of “art” or “bullshit”?
You might not know the name Polly Platt on first glance, but you know the movies she was involved with both as a production designer ( The Last Picture Show , A Star is Born ) and producer ( Broadcast News , Say Anything , Bottle Rocket ).

The former wife of director Peter Bogdanovich, she was Oscar nominated for her production design on Terms of Endearment . Let’s remember Platt with a clip from that James L. Brooks film ahead.
Hustler CEO Larry Flynt is going to be out of town for a few weeks. That’s nice for him. Obviously, he wants Daniel Tosh to run Hustler while he’s gone. Flynt just shot a video message just for the Tosh.0 host, saying “I’m gonna be out of town and I WANT YOU to run Hustler ‘s editorial meeting.” Why Daniel Tosh of all people? Flynt’s camp says he’s kicking around idea of a guest editor … and he just likes the guy. That’s all there is to it. Who knew Larry was such a big fan of viral video-related comedy? A Hustler rep tells TMZ , “[Tosh] will be allowed to plan the magazine’s editorial meetings for one month … he will be given a blank canvas.” Flynt’s even offering Tosh his own office with a “Hustler model secretary.” Hustler hasn’t heard back from Tosh regarding the unique offer.

Can you think of a better way to finish off the day than with a shot of busty supermodel Kate Upton blowing you a kiss while wearing a little bikini? I can’t. I’m going to tape this picture to my bathroom mirror so that I can see it every morning while I’m pump myself up with some daily affirmations. You’re good enough, you’re smart enough and maybe one day someone as hot as Kate Upton will let you stick it in her. I’m ready.
Jay Cutler does a mediocre job calling the shots on the football field. Off the gridiron, however, he was incredibly good at controlling Kristin Cavallari. The Bears quarterback smothering the former Hills star was one of the things that caused their relationship to unravel, according to a new report . A friend of Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler , who knew the couple and spent time with them socially, says he made things difficult for his fiancee. The two called off their engagement this weekend. Says the source of the now-former couple: “Jay Cutler was beyond controlling and didn’t really like Kristin to go out,” the friend says. “When she did go out, he would call all the time, demanding to know exactly where she was going and who she was with.” “He always made her choose between being with him and being friends with a lot of her girlfriends. I’m not surprised it didn’t last.” Cavallari and Cutler, 24 and 28 respectively, were first linked last summer. They had been planning a wedding for next spring, and Kristin is said to be “absolutely devastated” after the football star broke up with her.
Congratulations go out to Lauryn Hill. The singer welcomed her sixth child into the world on Saturday, a healthy baby boy that was born with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. But all is well now, a source tells BlackCelebKids dot com: “Mother and baby are fine… Everyone is happy.” Hill already has five children with Rohan Marley, joking at a concert in April that she’s “the most fertile woman in America.” (Sorry, Octomom) The new arrival joins siblings Zion David-Nesta, Selah, Joshua, John and Sarah.
My name is Sarah. I was born March 29, 1996 and I’m 15 years old. When I was 2, I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Not many people have heard about it and sometimes it makes me feel different from all the other kids I knew. Last year, my parents sent me to a treatment center connected with my school and said it was for kids who have matured and I will be there for the rest of the school year. Turns out, it was a treatment center for kids with bad problems. Some kids tease me and send death threats to me. Even though the school year already ended, I’m still there and I’m staying there maybe until January. I really felt like I was going to die and my life was over. I was madly in love with Justin Bieber and that was one of the things the kids teased me about. Even the staff teased me about it. They would call me “Sarah Bieber” or “Rosenbieber.” I felt miserable there. Some kids even drew on my Justin posters that I could not replace. Then one day I was doing art group there and a staff member told me that Justin Bieber was coming to Los Angeles that weekend for a book signing and I could go to it I my parents. I was thrilled. I called my parents right away to tell them. They told me I had school that day and they couldn’t take me to get the tickets. I had totally forgot about that, I was in my school’s Halloween fashion show that day and couldn’t miss out. Boy, I was surprised the next day when my mom came into my classroom and told me she got tickets to the signing for me, my cousin, and two friends to go and meet Justin Bieber! My mom had got up at 4:00 in the morning to go to The Grove and wait in line with a bunch of teenage girls and their moms to get the tickets. The tickets were $50.00 person and she also got one for herself cause all of us were under 18, so my mom spent over $100.00 so I can meet my dream man. At the signing, Justin was very nice. I waited 3 hours! I usually can’t stand waiting so long, but this was worth it. The best part was he put his arm around me! I was speechless the whole time! I even wrote a couple songs about it. I wrote a song called, “If This Was a Movie” about the day I met Justin. I will never forget the day that I actually felt special even though I had autism. Justin taught me to never give up on my dreams. My dream is to be a successful singer or actress. Because of Justin, I will never give up on that dreams. I hope he hasn’t forgotten about me! The picture I have of us together is on Twitter and Facebook! Every time I feel like a loser or I’m about to give up on something, I just look at the picture of us and remember what he has taught me. Someday I will achieve my dreams. I will never say never! Read more: My name is Sarah. I was born March 29, 1996 and I’m 15…
My Bieber Experience began on December. 2009. I discovered him on a blog, I’ll never thank the girl doing it enough. On February 2010, I won a contest for a private show & a meeting in my city, Paris, in France. I went to the showcase which was like the best time of my life! We were so close to Justin, he wasn’t that famous and it was about 100 fans in the room , sitting, enjoying the show. It was just the best feeling ever. He sang for one hour and it was time to meet him. Except later that didn’t happen. Justin took the escalators to go upstairs to sing a song for the fans who was staying outside, in the cold. I felt disappointed but after some hours, I realized that it didn’t really matter because he sang for people outside, who didn’t have the chance to see him at all! I was now happy for them because it was their dream too, and they have the right to live it. Since that time, I’m still a fan, a bigger one because I learned to believe in him, believe in this kid, Kidrauhl. I’ll support him till the end. That’s a promise. I had the chance to see him for another showcase on November 2010, a girl gave me a ticket the day before, that’s prove that the “Never Say Never” isn’t just a simple sentence, it’s a true one. I also went to the NSN movie premiere in Paris and to his show for his My World Tour in Paris. I didn’t meet him yet. But, I’ll will. I believe in that. I know I will because Justin said to never say never so I guess it’s only a question of time. Some fans are giving up, are saying he’s changing. Yes, he is, because he’s a human and every single human changes. But whatever? If you’re a TRUE BELIEBER, you will never ever give up, you will believe in your dreams, as Justin’s saying it every time! -@ThatsDebo See the rest here: My Bieber Experience began on December. 2009. I discovered him…
My name is Nina and I’m from Malibu, California. On Halloween last year Justin was having a meet and greet/book signing for his new book, my best friend Lucy and I decided to go. We are true Beliebers and proud of it. Lucy’s parents are so amazing! Her dad waited in line for 2 hours at Barnes and Noble to buy copies of the book which would get us wrist-bands to get us into the event. Then on October 31st, we woke up and got Lucy’s mom to drive us to the Grove where the event was happening and she waited in line with us for over 3 hours. We love her!! Lucy and I had been waiting for an opportunity like this for so long and as we were waiting in line we were too excited to even think! We just kept thinking that soon we would be right next to Justin Bieber and our dreams would come true. After about two hours we finally made it into Barnes and Noble and we could see Justin less than 50 feet away from us. It was crazy!! There were girls screaming, crying, and some just speechless. Finally, after a lot of waiting it was our turn to take our picture with Justin! We walked over to him, said hi while he did his famous hair flip, then he put his arms around both of us and smiled for our picture. It was honestly the best moment of my life and I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity. Then we each gave him a hug as we walked away to go collect our signed copies of the book. But quickly before leaving we had written our phone numbers on a piece of paper and I went up to Kenny and asked him to please give it to Justin and he replied, “Yes ma’am I will”. He was so sweet! As we were walking out of Barnes and Noble, Lucy and I almost started crying we were so happy. As soon as we got in the car we started calling all of our friends screaming “WE JUST MET JUSTIN BIEBER!!!” because we were so ecstatic we couldn’t believe what had just happened. We will never forget that day and the amazing experience we went through together. NEVER SAY NEVER Read this article: My name is Nina and I’m from Malibu, California. On…
