Anna Kendrick has it rough, doesn’t she? What a nightmare it’s been for her, starring with both Robert Pattinson and George Clooney in the same year. Man, I feel for her.
The adorable actress appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and set the record straight on her co-stars from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” and “Up in the Air.” I’d have to go with Clooney.

Sandra Bullock had a great year in 2009. I was really happy to see her return full force to the movie biz, because I’ve been a big fan since her “Speed” days.
I think we can all agree that “The Blind Side” and “The Proposal” all but erased the memory of the dismal “All About Steve.”  Collectively, her films snagged her the top money-making star of the year, according to a poll of hundreds of theater execs.
“The Proposal” earned $315 million at worldwide box offices after its June release, while “The Blind Side” scored $193 million only in …read more

Well, this is good news. Kate Winslet is often razzed for her curvy body and weight issues, but now who’s got the last laugh?
According to UK’s Daily Mail, Winslet’s figure tops the most desirable celeb bodies list, followed by Halle Berry and Kelly Brook. See a pattern here? They’re all not exactly stick-thin (thank goodness).
On the other hand, skinny-minny stars like Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss made the very bottom of the list.
The poll quizzed 2,000 women aged 18 or over, and Winslet scored 16 percent of the votes. Moss and Price came in dead last …read more

Because I’m in a gossipy mood tonight, here’s a little clip about the whole Charlie Sheen domestic violence thing. It’s all so … bizarre. Seriously, he should get some help.
Look for Sheen in “Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps,” in theaters April 23, 2010.

Well, darn. Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were such a cute couple, but it looks like they’ve broken up. A source told Us Magazine that the pair is officially over, because there just wasn’t any chemistry. On the plus side, this news probably makes a lot of young guys and girls really happy. Happy New Year to all those folks!
It’s funny because Lautner was just on “Saturday Night Live” in December, and his opening monologue involved a skit where he defended Swift on the Kanye West debacle. But it sounds like they might have been kaput even before that. …read more

I just posted about Brittany Murphy’s gone-too-soon death, and have been browsing around the sites for more info.
On Showbiz411, Roger Friedman gives some insight as to what was happening behind the scenes with Murphy’s husband, Simon Monjack. It sounds like he was bad news.
Apparently, Murphy had been fired from the film “The Caller,” because Monjack came on the set inebriated. The producers wanted to keep him away, but Murphy defended him. So she was let go.
Even after hearing this story, however, director Michael Z. Gordon planned to cast her in a movie called “Shrinking Charlotte.”
Friedman …read more

The thing about sites like Wikipedia is that anyone can write or update them. So when someone writes something about someone that isn’t true, well, it’s just not right.
Actor Ron Livingston, star of “Office Space” and several upcoming movies, including “Going the Distance,” is dealing with that conundrum. Apparently, an anonymous Wiki writer keeps editing his entry to read that the actor is in a gay relationship.
But Livingston is fighting back, and more power to him! He’s married to actress Rosemarie DeWitt and calls the rumor that he’s in a relationship with Lee Dennison “malicious.” As such, he’s …read more

I never would have thought that Mark Wahlberg would become such a diverse celebrity, but the former Calvin Klein underwear model is not only a talented actor, but also a kick-ass executive producer for HBO’s “Entourage.”
At the “Lovely Bones” premiere last night in New York, Wahlberg told Showbiz 411 that the show has two seasons left, but don’t look for it to end after that. “We’ll see,” said Wahlberg. “There could be more. But then, a movie.”
Wahlberg is currently filming “The Other Guys,” a comedy with Will Ferrell. “I don’t really get to do comedy,” he said. “We waited …read more

In the December issue of Men’s Journal, Alec Baldwin says he’s lost interest in acting, considers his film career a failure, and will likely quit the business by 2012.
It’s interesting that he’s saying this now, with a hit TV show (“30 Rock”), a big moving coming out in a few weeks (“It’s Complicated”), and a gig co-hosting the Oscars with Steve Martin.
I mean, it’s sort of a slap in the face to his fans, isn’t it? If he doesn’t have any interest in acting anymore, then why is he still doing it? There are probably other things …read more

Actress Eva Mendes sure knows how to stir up controversy. She’s featured in a sexy new billboard for Calvin Klein underwear, and the folks in the neighborhood don’t like it.
The huge ad takes up the entire side of a building on the corner of Houston Street and Lafayette Street in Soho, New York City. Residents there want it taken down.
What do you think? Too sexy for a billboard? And is that guy’s…? I must admit, I’d have to shield my kids’ eyes if we walked by that.
Here it is up close. After the jump, check out the …read more
