Ashley Tisdale and Kaley Cuoco: Nude in Allure!

Posted on April 13, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This is not your typical clothes-free photo shoot, nor does it feature celebrities you’d typically expect to be featured in a photo shoot sans clothing. Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical and Hellcats fame, for example. “I’m 25, almost 26, but people think of me as much younger because I look young,” she said of taking it all off in Allure . “Being in this shoot was me saying, ‘I’m not just the young girl everybody thinks I am. I’m actually a woman.’ There’s no doubting that now. Kaley Cuoco of The Big Bang Theory and Hop had similar reasons for posing nude for the first time. See stunning, black-and-white pics of both, plus Keri Hilson and Blue Bloods star/Tom Brady ex Bridget Moynahan after the jump: [Photo: Allure]

‘Glee’ Wins Big At Golden Globes

Posted on January 16, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Musical show takes home Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical, plus two acting awards. By Aly Semigran he cast of “Glee” backstage at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards Photo: Steve Granitz/ WireImage For the second year in a row, “Glee” has had something to sing about at the Golden Globes. Fox’s pop-culture smash has emerged victorious yet again in the Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical category. In addition to besting the hit shows “Modern Family,” “Nurse Jackie,” “The Big C,” “The Big Bang Theory” and “30 Rock,” two of the show’s stars have taken home their first Golden Globe awards. While the show did not sweep — both Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison lost in their categories — it did win more awards than any other television show at the 68th annual Golden Globes. Stunned first-time nominee Chris Colfer kicked things off for “Glee” with his heartfelt speech, which he dedicated to his “fairy godfather Ryan Murphy” and to teens who, much like his character Kurt, are bullied. “The amazing kids that watch our show and that our show celebrates and are constantly told no [by] people and environments and bullies at school, that they can’t be who they are or can’t have what they want because of who they are,” he said, concluding his acceptance speech with, “Screw that, kids.” Next up was Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television winner Jane Lynch. The actress, who has now won a Golden Globe, Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Award for her work on the show, had lost to “Big Love” actress Chlo

Another Year Director Mike Leigh on Golden Globes Snub: ‘We’re Not Trappist Monks Up a Mountain’

Posted on December 14, 2010 by | Comments Off on Another Year Director Mike Leigh on Golden Globes Snub: ‘We’re Not Trappist Monks Up a Mountain’

The Golden Globe nominations were the usual melange of oddities and head-shakers, but one snub has many prognosticators grumbling : Where was the love for Mike Leigh’s Another Year ? Remember: The Golden Globes thrust Sally Hawkins into the limelight after awarding her Best Actress in 2008 for her performance in Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky . This year, even though Another Year ‘s Lesley Manville just took hope the top prize at the National Board of Review awards, Leigh’s critically adored film — a story about a seemingly happy married couple that is surrounded by sorrowful personalities — was shut out of the nominations altogether. Was Leigh outraged over his film’s exclusion from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association party?

This morning’s Golden Globe Awards nominations yielded the customary blend of class, starpower, snubs, and utter pay-to-play WTF -ery that we’re used to seeing every year from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. But one particular film’s inclusion among the contenders has much of the world turning to combat when a deep breath would do just fine: It’s the Golden Globes, everybody! Why wouldn’t we see Burlesque nominated for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy?

Big Bang Boss Chuck Lorre Talks About Globes Nod, Backstage Drama, a Fox-y Guest and More

Posted on December 14, 2010 by | Comments Off on Big Bang Boss Chuck Lorre Talks About Globes Nod, Backstage Drama, a Fox-y Guest and More

Be gone with your bazingas, because this is the real deal, folks: CBS’ The Big Bang Theory has collected its first-ever Golden Globe nomination in the Best Comedy category. (Cast member Jim Parsons also earned a nod, for Best Comedy Actor.) To mark this occasion, Movieline spoke with Big Bang co-creator Chuck Lorre about how the fourth-year comedy endured a very scary real-life drama to serve up one of its best seasons to date.

Diddy Talks Fear Of Commitment On ‘The View’

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Diddy Talks Fear Of Commitment On ‘The View’

‘As my heart got broken by one, I cried on the shoulder of another,’ Diddy-Dirty Money frontman reveals on talk-fest. By Jayson Rodriguez Diddy (file) Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images/DCP On “Coming Home,” the latest single from Diddy-Dirty Money’s Last Train To Paris, the rap mogul contemplates having a touchy conversation with his kids down the road. “What if my twins ask why I ain’t marry their mom?” he raps on the number. “Damn, how do I respond?” During an appearance on “The View” on Tuesday (December 14), host Barbara Walters pressed Diddy about the line. “What’s your trouble, is what I’m trying to get at,” she asked. Diddy answered, explaining that his fractured upbringing, among other things, has been a factor in his ongoing bachelorhood. “The reason of it, why I’m not married yet, I don’t have the exact reason,” he said. “Some things in life, you don’t have the exact reason why you’re not. I know that I haven’t been ready; I know there’s other reasons in my life. “My father was killed when I was 3 years old, and my mother was a very strong woman and she said, ‘Well I loved your father and I’m not gonna have another man around. There’s not gonna be anyone else around, and that’s how it’s gonna be.’ But then on the flip side, I never got a chance to see the way a family lives.” Diddy, however, insisted he wasn’t making excuses, just giving up some details about his background. He then opened up about the three mothers of his six children: “It’s like a movie,” he said. The Bad Boy Records CEO said he met the women all in the same year, roughly. “At different times in my life, as my heart got broken by one, I cried on the shoulder of another,” he revealed. That explanation led co-host Joy Behar to quip, “like ‘Big Love,’ ” referring to HBO’s polygamy drama, which drew laughs from the audience. “It wasn’t at the same time,” Diddy responded. “Life isn’t something you can predict. Every woman that I was with, that I had a child with, they did deserve for me to marry them. But there’s things going on in my life … I’m not gonna say it’s all the way me, but I’ll take responsibility as a man.” After making those revelations, Diddy was ready to hit the stage. He was joined by his Diddy-Dirty Money ladies, Dawn Richard and Kaleena, for a performance of “Coming Home.” What do you think of Diddy’s remarks about marriage? Tell us in the comments!

Golden Globes Snub ‘Lost,’ Embrace ‘Walking Dead’

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Golden Globes Snub ‘Lost,’ Embrace ‘Walking Dead’

The always-unpredictable Hollywood Foreign Press Association delivered some surprises in the TV categories. By Aly Semigran The cast of “Lost” Photo: ABC While the Emmys often serve up nods to the same old favorites, year after year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Globes are beloved for their unpredictability. In the TV category, the domination of shows like “Glee” and “Mad Men” wasn’t too surprising, but there were plenty of out-of-left-field choices and sad-face snubs to keep awards-show junkies amused on Tuesday morning (December 14). (Here’s a complete list of the 2011 Golden Globe nominations .) In the drama acting categories, a Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama nomination for Katey Sagal for her work on FX drama “Sons of Anarchy” ( The Atlantic raved that Sagal gave a “riveting performance as matriarch of a corrupt biker family”) may have been overshadowed by the “Huh?” factor of “Covert Affairs” star Piper Perabo also being placed on the list. Fans of AMC’s bloody good newcomer “The Walking Dead,” should be thrilled to see the show nominated with established heavyweights such as “Mad Men” and “Dexter” for Best Television Series – Drama. Another new show, HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire,” snagged a nod in the category. But devotees of the shows left off the drama list are bound to be vocal about the oversights. HBO’s “True Blood” and “Big Love” were left out. And after a love-it-or-hate-it series finale, bragging rights for biggest snub goes to “Lost,” which was shut out of the running completely. The groundbreaking show kept fans’ interest until the very end (especially with strong turns by cast members Michael Emerson, Terry O’Quinn and Matthew Fox), but apparently not the HFPA. The often-snubbed “Friday Night Lights” received zero nominations during a year that included stand-out performances by its cast (particularly Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton and Zach Gilford). “Come on, Golden Globes, no ‘Friday Night Lights,’ either?” ( Entertainment Weekly ‘s Ken Tucker complained. Elsewhere, Christina Hendrick’s continually impressive work on “Mad Men” (including tackling story lines of infidelity and pregnancy) somehow was overlooked. ( USA Today noticed some more obvious snubs including, “Breaking Bad” ‘s Aaron Paul, the 2010 Emmy winner for supporting actor in a drama, and “The Good Wife” ‘s Archie Panjabi, who took the Emmy last fall for best supporting actress in a drama. There were hardly any stunners in the comedic acting categories, except for, perhaps, the inclusion of “Hung” star Thomas Jane in

Golden Globe Nominations Dominated By ‘King’s Speech,’ ‘Glee’

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Golden Globe Nominations Dominated By ‘King’s Speech,’ ‘Glee’

Surprisingly left out are ‘True Grit’ and ‘127 Hours,’ which earned only best actor and original score nods. By Eric Ditzian Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter in “The King’s Speech” Photo: See Saw Films In the first major awards season announcement of 2010, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed its nominations for the 68th annual Golden Globes Tuesday morning (December 14), confirming the status of certain cinematic front-runners, damaging the hopes of other films and bringing a few movies attention few expected. The TV categories were entirely more predictable, with “Glee” once again notching the highest number of nominations (five, up from four last year), trailed, like last year, by “30 Rock,” “Mad Men” and other shows. The big surprise in the Best Motion Picture — Drama category was that “True Grit,” the Coen brothers highly praised new Western, didn’t land a nod in the category. In fact, it didn’t nab a single nomination. “127 Hours,” the true story of a trapped hiker starring James Franco, didn’t gain a much expected best picture nomination either. Instead, Mark Wahlberg’s “The Fighter” snuck in, joining other nominees “The King’s Speech,” “The Social Network,” “Black Swan” and “Inception.” The Best Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical category contained even bigger surprises. Both Christina Aguilera’s “Burlesque” and Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie’s “The Tourist” fell short at the box office , yet the HFPA somehow decided to honor them in the category. That must be especially embarrassing after Depp and Jolie’s flick limped away from its opening weekend with just $16.5 million in box-office receipts. Perhaps the association made up for honoring those bombs by recognizing the $1 billion-grossing “Alice in Wonderland.” The HFPA also deserves credit for honoring “Red,” an underrated comic book adaptation starring Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman. It’s anybody’s guess which flick is the front-runner, though somehow we think the box-office haul of “Alice,” much like “Avatar” last year, will be hard to ignore. In fact, “Alice” had a surprisingly strong morning, going on to garner nominations for Danny Elfman’s original score and for Depp as best actor. That nomination means Depp will compete against himself for best actor, as he was also recognized for “The Tourist.” In a word: strange. Strange, too, how comprehensively “True Grit” was snubbed. In the dramatic-actor category, Javier Bardem (“Biutiful”) was denied as well, opening up slots for Ryan Gosling (“Blue Valentine”) and Mark Wahlberg (“The Fighter”). Neither of those guys, though, is likely to compete with the category’s faves: Jesse Eisenberg (“The Social Network”), Colin Firth (“The King’s Speech”) and James Franco (“127 Hours”). The dramatic-actress category was more predictable, although who actually thought Halle Berry would nab a nomination for “Frankie and Alice”? Regardless, this is Natalie Portman’s category to lose based on her turn in “Black Swan.” Long a front-runner for her “Kids Are All Right” performance, Annette Bening got her nod and will continue to be the favorite to win Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical. It was also great to see Emma Stone pop up here for “Easy A.” Not that she has a shot, but it’s nice she’s been invited to the party. In another defeat for “127 Hours,” Danny Boyle failed to garner a Best Director nomination. An early awards season darling, the film seems to be fading fast. David O. Russell (“The Fighter”) swooped in, and with “True Grit” being ignored, so did Darren Aronofsky (“Black Swan”). Still, the top pick to win remains David Fincher (“The Social Network”). In the TV categories, no one should be surprised that buzzy musical “Glee” received the most nominations. Consider it the likely choice to beat out “30 Rock,” “Modern Family” and “The Big Bang Theory” for Best Television Series — Comedy or Musical. Last year, “Mad Men” took home the best drama prize, but this year it meets some competition on AMC from “The Walking Dead.” On Globe night, we have a feeling it’ll be the ad men battling it out with the zombies.
