Vanessa Hudgens to Cosmo: I’m a Total Gypsy Bohemian!

Vanessa Hudgens was born in the wrong decade. That’s how she phrases it to Cosmopolitian in that magazine’s latest issue, donning a flower child-esque outfit (and showing some cleavage!) while admitting: “I’m a total gypsy Bohemian.” Meaning what, exactly? “If I could go back in time, I’d be front row for Janis Joplin at Woodstock!” Hudgens says, adding of the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival: “The first time I went, I thought, ‘This is heaven.’ You just feel completely free. I’m going to go every single year until I die.” Austin Butler, Vanessa’s boyfriend of a year and a star on The Carrie Diaries , is also featured in the interview. But instead of talking about fashion or music preferences or even Vanessa Hudgens nude , the actor gets serious and addresses past personal struggles. “I went through a period when I was rebellious and a mess of a person,’ Butler says. “I’d swing from happy to depressed, and I realized the patterns of my mental state were contingent on the feelings I was allowing in my head. “Depression and anxiety can’t fit in your head if you’re cultivating feelings of joy and inspiration. So now every morning, I go for a walk and list all the things I’m grateful for. It makes me so happy.” Sounds like an important lesson from which we all could learn a thing or two.

Iran Planning Its Alterna-‘Argo’

Argo received eight Oscar nominations and has grossed over $166.4 million at the box office worldwide and now Iran wants in on the action. But don’t expect the Islamic Republic to toe the line of how events transpired in the version directed and starring Ben Affleck . [ Related: Iran A Possible Oscar No-Show After Boycott Threat AND Ben Affleck Goes For Gracious Post-Oscar Passover ] Iranian director Ataollah Salmanian an Iranian news agency that he is making a counter-feature to Affleck’s film which is based on the true story of a C.I.A. plan to rescue six Americans from Tehran during the outset of the Iran hostage crisis in 1979. Titled The General Staff , Salmanian told the news agency his film “should be an appropriate response to the ‘a-historic’ film Argo ,” according to BBC. Not surprisingly, Argo has ruffled feathers in the Iranian hierarchy and Salmanian is hoping to receive funding from the Middle Eastern country’s government. Iran has long had a contentious relationship with its filmmaking community even as its filmmakers won awards around the world. Last year Asghar Farhadi’s A Separation won the Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language film. Despite praise for the win at the time, the country’s establishment banned its filmmakers from submitting to the Oscars race officially due to the controversy surrounding the anti-Islam video that hit YouTube last year, Innocence of Muslims . Others have faced persecution and silence including celebrated director Jafar Panahi who served house arrest and later prison. The director documented his house-arrest in This Is Not a Film , which was smuggled out of Iran in a Flash-Drive and hidden inside a cake. It later screened at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and other festivals. [ Source: The Guardian ] Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Chained to NC-17: Watch the Trailer for the Latest Movie to Earn the MPAA Kiss of Death

Filmmaker Jennifer Lynch knows a thing or two about battling the MPAA — her 1993 debut Boxing Helena earned the ratings board’s dreaded NC-17 for its sexualized violence and general depravity — and so it seems just like old times that her latest effort, Chained , faces the same fate for “some explicit violence.” But wait: Isn’t violence supposed to fly with the ratings board while sex gets the adults-only rating? What gives? Actually, look no further than the film’s NSFW trailer for your answer. On the one hand, I wouldn’t put it past distributor Anchor Bay to pull a Harvey special and exploit Chained ‘s Vincent D’Onofrio serial-killing kidnapper menace for maximum ratings “controversy.” On the other, publicity stunts aside, this just looks… heinous : Anyway, no release date has been set, and Anchor Bay can always turn around and release the film unrated, which is basically regarded the same as an NC-17 by skittish mainstream theaters, so for now it’s just a conversation piece with straight-to-video written all over it.

PETA to Janet Jackson: You’re Nasty!

PETA doesn’t care that Super Bowl viewers saw a glimpse of Janet Jackson’s boob a few years ago. This irritating organization is far more concerned over the fact that the singer is wearing a fur coat in a new promotional ad for her Blackgama clothing line, as seen here: Naming Jackson its Grinch of the Year, PETA issued a statement this week that reads: “When Janet Jackson had her infamous ‘wardrobe malfunction’ during the Super Bowl, at least the flesh that popped into view was her own. Unlike the stolen animal skins that she drapes herself with, which are as dead as her taste in fashion (not to mention her career). Ms. Jackson, you’re just plain nasty.” And PETA knows a thing or two about nastiness. In order to drum up attention for itself animals, the company is starting a porn site .
