Apple has used celebrities sparingly to pimp their product, most notably with the classic “Think Different” ad campaign. But the company appears to be going in a new direction, starting with a pair of television commercials that popped up Monday night. Apple has released a pair of new television commercials focusing on the magic of Siri with the iPhone 4S, but this time we get a good look at the faces… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Mac|Life all RSS Feed Discovery Date : 17/04/2012 04:18 Number of articles : 2
In honor of Feb. 29, and just for fun, let’s flash back for a moment to the first horrible movie of the ’10s. Take it away, Michelle Orange : “It’s hard to care about the shabby treatment of the Irish, the Italian, or Amy Adams’s poor, spindly ankles when one’s own honor is called into question by the film’s specious, finger-wagging terms. Every time an Irishman fell off of his chair or dispensed a tediously quaint piece of folklore, every time the decrepitude of Ireland’s public works was asserted with a wink, and every time Amy Adams unloaded a shrill expectation that was met with abject humiliation, I felt a little more sorry for myself. Is this really what you think of me, Mr. Tucker? Is this what you think we all deserve? This one’s a heart-sinker, fromage of the smelliest order; I am mystified by its existence.” Happy leap day!
Marvel’s The Avengers has the pressure of living up to years of hype resting on its shoulders, but a new trailer for the May 4 superhero pic looks promising, if not terribly complicated. Plot details, like what Loki’s up to and why? Save it for the movie. This is the chance to give every one of the Avengers their close-up. Well, except for you, Hawkeye. Admittedly, Jeremy Renner ‘s archery expert — the least-well known character of the bunch, looking like the loner weirdo lurking around the popular kids at school — does get a neat falling-backwards-through-the-air-while-shooting-an-arrow moment in the trailer, so there’s that. Everyone else, though, gets to reveal a smidge of character in the span of two minutes: Nick Fury is concerned! Captain America is resentful! Tony Stark is bitchy! Black Widow is suggestive! We already know that our heroes will bicker before they unite to fight evil, blah blah blah. It is rather touching to see Hulk leap into the air to save Iron Man from eating pavement. I’m just waiting for fans to shout about how superior Ruffalo’s Hulk is from the Ed Norton and Eric Bana versions, because guys? His Hulkface doesn’t look that much better, does it? Verdict: Oh, who am I kidding? We’re all seeing this one, aren’t we? Anyway, head to Apple to watch the trailer in high res. The Avengers hits theaters on May 4.
I won’t waste space rattling off a list of the personal and professional troubles that have plagued Lindsay Lohan ‘s life and career in recent years, so let’s cut to the chase: Will her Saturday Night Live hosting gig this weekend — her fourth time on the show after some admittedly hilarious prior turns — show the world that La Lohan’s ready to mount a comeback? Watch a healthy-ish-looking Lohan vaguely touch on her well-documented absence from glory in her SNL promos after the jump. First thoughts: – Who sent Lohan to Zooey Deschanel’s hairdresser ? – Am I the only one transfixed by the plasticized morphing of her face from the face I thought she had? – Seriously, I know Kenan Thompson is in this bit too, but I can’t. Stop. Staring. At Lohan. – Linds-sanity! What would Ben & Jerry put in that flavor of ice cream? – Glimmers of the comic timing I remember seeing in Lohan long ago. Encouraging! Anyway, I’m setting my DVR now. [ NBC via LA Times ]

We’ve compared co-stars ( Modern Family ‘s Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara ). We did a showdown of screen legends ( Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren ). We’ve pitted sisters against each other ( Emily and Zooey Deschanel ). Now it’s time for … hot namesakes who once dated Derek Jeter! Okay, a bit of a stretch for a Fashion Face-Off featuring Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel. But both attended the Golden Globe Awards last night and we have images of them, so we encourage you to vote for your favorite style star in the poll below!
Though perhaps most often associated with movies, the annual Golden Globe Awards also honor the best in TV, and as a result, many small screen favorites were on hand. That includes two actresses who happen to be sisters! Bones’ Emily Deschanel, dressed in blue, looks great for having given birth to her first child recently. Her younger sibling, New Girl star Zooey Deschanel, is a newly-single girl, but we don’t imagine that will last long. Major cutie alert! Vote for your favorite Fox (and style!) star in the poll below:
‘New Girl’ star and Death Cab for Cutie frontman announced their separation in November. By Kara Warner Ben Gibbard and Zooey Deschanel Photo: Getty Images It looks like there is no reconciliation in sight for Zooey Deschanel and Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard. After announcing their separation back in November, the “New Girl” star officially filed for divorce a month later. According to People magazine, Deschanel filed the documents with L.A. County Superior Court on December 27. The papers list their actual date of separation as October 31 and cite “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the split. Although Deschanel spoke with the magazine recently, she didn’t have much to say about the end of her relationship with Gibbard but did mention that they will likely remain friends. “We’re friendly,” she told People. “It’s all fine.” Check out a breakup playlist of Death Cab and She & Him songs. Deschanel’s statement reflects a similar sentiment that a source told Us Weekly at the time of their separation: “It was mutual and amicable. There was no third party involved.” Deschanel’s star power has been on the rise over the past few years, particularly after her scene-stealing turn in “(500) Days of Summer” and “Our Idiot Brother,” but more recently since the debut of her critically acclaimed and Golden Globe-nominated new sitcom “The New Girl.” Gibbard has been equally busy with Death Cab for Cutie promoting the release of their seventh studio album, Codes and Keys, which was recently nominated for a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. The couple were introduced by their mutual manager three years ago. They got engaged in 2008 and were married in 2009. They have no children.

The Animated Oscar Index Currently in the middle of its second annual cycle, the Oscar Index is, to me, the story of the film industry’s awards race.
