Breezy might say he and Rihanna are “just friends” but Karrueche knows better. According to TMZ reports : Chris Brown’s ex-girlfriend ain’t buyin’ that Chris is “just friends” with Rihanna … telling her peeps she’s convinced they were bangin’ behind her back. We spoke to multiple sources connected to Karrueche Tran … who tell us KT feels betrayed by Chris because he had promised her that she was the only woman in his life … especially when she probed him about his feelings toward Rihanna. We’re told Karrueche had suspected something was up between the two of them for weeks because Chris was acting differently — going to clubs alone, acting distant and ramping up his public appearances with Rihanna. Sources say Karrueche told friends she truly loved Chris … and felt that the relationship was great until Rihanna let Brown back into her life. Aw poor thang… Hate to say it but the writing has been on the walls. Homegirl should have said her goodbyes months ago. How embarrassing.

First, Abe Lincoln was a vampire hunter . Now he sounds like he might have been a very early member of the Green Lantern Corps. The 16th president’s tough formative years will be explored in The Green Blade Also Rises , which will mark the directorial debut of Terrence Malick ( The Tree of Life ) protege A.J. Edwards who also wrote the screenplay. Malick will produce the film, which despite its sci-fi-sounding title, will depict the hardships that molded young Abe into the man who became one of America’s most influential presidents. Lincoln has yet to be cast, but the filmmakers announced on Friday that Wes Bentley ( The Hunger Games ) will play the president’s first teacher, and Brit Marling (Another Earth) will play Nancy, Lincoln’s biological mother. Diane Kruger ( Inglourious Basterds ) and Jason Clarke ( Public Enemies ) are also on board as Lincoln’s step-mother and father. Edwards got his start as an editorial intern on Malick’s The New World and served as the editor on his most recent film To The Wonder .
Years in the making, director Ang Lee was apparently still tweaking his ravishing Life of Pi up until the Friday morning pre-gala screening of his latest for press and industry Friday morning. The epic 3-D adaptation of the book by Yann Martel delivered a rare cinematic experience about a young Indian boy who endures a seemingly endless time at sea. Fox released visuals from the film during summer, but suppositions about what the film is about may be dashed — at least for those who have not read the book. One thing is predictable, however: Oscar night will certainly reserve some — and likely many — spots for Life of Pi , Lee will certainly be up for another Best Director nomination, and the feature will undoubtedly be up for Best Picture. The Film Society of Lincoln Center scored a coup debuting this spectacle on its opening night of the 50th New York Film Festival . Also certainly in the running for accolades this awards season is the film’s young star, Suraj Sharma, who Lee found for the title role of Pi after months of searching. He gives a stunning performance as a highly spiritual and introspective young boy who finds himself the only human survivor after his ship sinks during a violent storm. Along with him are a gaggle of animals, including an adult tiger. Previous teasers about Life of Pie suggested the young boy befriends the Bengal tiger, almost as if the audience is being set up for a human-wild beast version of Blue Lagoon . In truth, their relationship is much more complex and those looking for a fantasy story with animals and humans living together harmoniously in paradise may be disappointed — this is not a South Seas 3-D version of Chronicles of Narnia . Still, a bond is established and they do happen on a sort of paradise island, but even that takes an unusual twist. Much of the film, however, is set aboard a life raft and Sharma assumes the duty of carrying the movie emotionally and physically as he finesses his relationship with the tiger, named Richard Parker. To get Sharma ready to portray a man fighting to survive at sea, Lee had him meet American author and sailor Steven Callahan, who actually survived weeks in open water and lived to tell about it. He wrote Adrift: 76 Days Lost At Sea (1986), which was itself a New York Times best-seller “I met him on a ship and it was raining with big waves,” said Sharma at the Walter Reade Theater Friday afternoon. “I met Steve and didn’t know who he was at that point. I found out he had survived 76 days at sea. He said you don’t feel anything, most of the time you feel completely blank. So when you do feel emotions, they are very strong, very powerful moments. So I tried to [employ] that in my acting.” Initially, it was Sharma’s brother who went after the part of Pi, but he was encouraged to audition as well. The process went on for six months and he received many call backs, but then he was asked to go to what he called Bombay (Mumbai) and his emotions turned. “I I was really excited when I went there and gave a final audition,” he said. “The first time I didn’t think I did very well, and then Ang talked to me and made me breathe in particular ways that brought out emotion inside of me. And by the end of it I didn’t even feel like I was acting anymore. I was just kind of an instrument of sorts.” After reading the novel Life of Pi , Lee said he found the book “fascinating” and “mind-boggling” but didn’t think anyone in their “right mind would put up money for this,” as he recalled today. Even author Yann Martel said that while writing the story he imagined it as “very cinematic in my mind” but he didn’t think the complications the story posed would make it possible to make it into a movie. “The literature is philosophy, regardless of how cinematic it is. And it would be very, very expensive and nearly impossible to do, and how do you sell this thing? I thought the economic side and the artistic side may not ever meet,” said Lee. Fox, however, did approach Lee several years ago and turning Pi into a feature became a possibility. “Elizabeth Gabler approached me and said it had always been their dream to work with me,” said Lee. “Little by little, it started to become my destiny and my faith, so to speak.” “We knew we could never make this film without a superior ‘guiding light’ in our leader and the filmmaker that was actually going to bring it to life,” recalled Fox 2000 head Elizabeth Gabler. “When we heard that Ang was possibly interested, I went to see him. And he said,’ Why is it that a studio would make this? It’s going to be a big, huge movie…I told him that audiences are always craving something original and new and we felt that under his directorship we would have something that could be extraordinary and new to the world in so many different ways.” While Gabler kept the budget under wraps, anyone who watches the film can easily see it must have gobbled up a hefty amount of money. Without providing a lot of detail, Lee said he spent a year animating a version of the story in order to communicate to his crew what he wanted, though once production began, circumstance ruled the day and Lee had to adapt to unforeseen challenges. “Planning and improvisation took place. For a movie like this, nothing works the way you plan it, so you just have to go along. One time it took one week to get something done in my shot list. Often it took one or two days to get something done on my shot list. I have a dramatic background, so I don’t usually use storyboards. The shots were so expensive for this, so I spent a whole year before making this movie to animate it so I could talk to the team about what it should be like. So, I wouldn’t call it so much improvising as surviving.” Follow Brian Brooks on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
The Real Housewives of Miami starts off with sun and fun and palm trees and ends with “A Mynt Meltdown” and one hot mess of a night. We recap all the tears, fears and accusations in our THG +/- review. The help plays a big role in the lives of the Housewives and sometimes it’s hard to figure out who works for whom. Lisa’s housekeeper/assistant/confidante Daysy’s main job seems to be to keep Lisa company. Minus 8. How much do they pay her for that? Of course Daysy’s working towards her bonus prize. A brand new body is hers once she sheds some pounds. Yes, working for the Boob god of Miami has its perks. Plus 10 Lea can do one better. She’s got Freda, her housekeeper who has two assistant housekeepers, her own guest house and even has Lea doing her hair. Plus 12. Here’s to enjoy the perks of one’s labor. But wait. What labor? It seems Freda doesn’t do much in the way of keeping house but the kids and the dogs love her so Lea pays for her room and board. Heck, Freda doesn’t even have a bathing suit unless Lea buys it for her. Is this her housekeeper or another one of Lea’s kids? Minus 15 . We barely see Rodolfo who is off somewhere filming his Latin soap opera. He tells Karent he doesn’t want to hear any more about these texting rumors. Yeah, I bet he doesn’t. Minus 7 . Ana’s working on her puffy eyes. It looks like she’s been crying after a fight with boyfriend Mark. He wants to know when her divorce will be finalized. Plus 12 . I don’t blame him. It’s been two years and Robert’s still hanging around the house reminding her that his new girlfriend is 15 years younger than her. Minus 15 . That means his girlfriend is probably closer to his daughter’s age than his. Elsa’s no where to be found in this episode but Marysol and drag queen Elaine have a tiff over whether or not Marysol kicked her off the red carpet last year. Minus 13 because nothing was really resolved and everyone just left fuming. Finally we come back around to Joanna and Romain. Romain becomes a US citizen and congrats to him. Plus 20. That’s a huge accomplishment. It’s also the ten year anniversary of his club Mynt which only makes me wonder how this club remains so successful in a hot spot like Miami where a club is old news a month after it opens. But Romain wants to celebrate his good fortune and all of the housewives are invited. Adriana flirts shamelessly with the guy who diligently tells her he only likes blondes. Specifically his blonde, Joanna. Plus 10 although he may rethink that before the night is over. Joanna has a few too many when she spots the club DJ who once dated, cheated on, and dumped Joanna’s sister Marta. Her reaction is over the top. The odd thing is that the bad break up took place quite a while ago and Joanna knew the guy still worked at Mynt. Why make a scene now on Romain’s big day? Minus 11 . Maybe she’s bored with Romain and trying to sabotage their relationship. Maybe she’s extremely sensitive where her sister is concerned. Or maybe she’s just nuts. Will this be the end of the road for this gorgeous Miami couple? Episode total = -5! Season total = -97!
