Tom Cruise arrives in Salzburg to film ‘Knight & Day’

Jane Boursaw — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:58:52 +0000

Tom Cruise arrived in Salzburg, Austria today to film “Knight & Day,” an action comedy co-starring Cameron Diaz. They play a fugitive couple on a glamorous (and sometimes deadly) adventure where nothing and no one – even themselves – are what they seem.

These two should make a good couple for an action film, and I’m sure there will be some fun romance in there, too. Hopefully lots of snappy dialogue reminiscent of the old-time spy movies. James Mangold directs the film, due in theaters July 2, 2010.

Cruise looks in tip-top form, doesn’t he?

Cute Baby Alert! Seraphina with mom Jennifer Garner

Jane Boursaw — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:31:44 +0000

Little Seraphina Affleck is such a cutie-pie. Here she is with mom Jennifer Garner, picking sister Violet up from school in Santa Monica, California.

Garner is surely one of the hardest working actresses right now. She has lots of projects lined up in the next couple of years, including “Valentine’s Day,” the ensemble romantic comedy due in theaters Feb. 12, 2010. The movie also stars Taylor Lautner, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Taylor Swift, and Ashton Kutcher.

Megan Fox talks to NYT Magazine about changing her image

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:57:39 +0000

There’s a new interview with Megan Fox in the New York Times Magazine, in which she talks about changing her image.

Ok, here’s a little tip, Megan. If you want to change your image, you might consider a photo shoot in something other than your underwear. And I’m not talking nude either. How about a nice classy shoot a la Old Hollywood?

Catch Megan Fox next as Leila in “Jonah Hex,” due in theaters June 18, 2010.

Meryl Streep at the ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ premiere

Jane Boursaw — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:46:48 +0000

I can’t say I’m all that crazy about Meryl Streep’s dress at the “Fantastic Mr. Fox” premiere in New York City. There’s sort of a whole lot going on there. Too much, really. But Meryl, as always, looks fantastic.

The animated movie opens Nov. 25, 2009, and stars George Clooney as the title character, a fox who’s dealing with three wealthy farmers who are none too happy about Mr. Fox feeding his family on their poultry.

The voice cast also includes Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman. Watch the trailer here.

‘New Moon’ gang hits Madrid

Jane Boursaw — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:55:06 +0000

The cast from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” continues to journey across the globe making appearances to promote the film (like it really needs it). Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner showed up in Madrid at the Palacio de Vistalegre.

All three of these actors are darn cute, and I love everything Kristen Stewart’s been wearing. She must have an army of people accompanying her with trunks of clothes.

The movie opens in theaters Nov. 20, 2009.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner storm Paris and London for ‘New Moon’ fan events

Jane Boursaw — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:26:14 +0000

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and director Chris Weitz were in London today, promoting “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” at Battersea Evolution.

The crew has been jetting here, there and everywhere promoting the movie, and flew from Los Angeles to Paris on Monday, amidst throngs of screaming fans. As for whether it bothers him, Pattinson told one reporter:

“It’s when I’m in my real life, when I’m not working, when there’s less security around me, that it’s worrying,” he said. “When some girl shows up on my doorstep … In a way, it’s funny because it’s completely new to me. Growing up, that wasn’t me. I wasn’t someone who had a girlfriend.”

It appears he DOES have a girlfriend now, co-star Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan in the movie. According to one report, the pair were the last ones to leave the terminal to board the plane. “Out on the tarmac, he took her hand, like young lovers. They stopped and looked at each other, their plane, the scene. They seemed very calm, in love. They continued holding hands boarding the plane.” Awww, that’s sweet.

Should Eva Mendes’ sexy Calvin Klein billboard be taken down?

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:53:28 +0000

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 far-away version. Would love comments from someone in that neighborhood.

Johnny Depp in talks for The Tourist with Angelina Jolie

Jane Boursaw — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:24:58 +0000

“The Tourist” is set for a 2011 release date, but it’s still collecting cast members at this point.

The latest word is that Johnny Depp is in talks to sign, replacing Sam Worthington, who replaced Tom Cruise. If it’s a go, Depp will play an American tourist who’s used by an Interpol agent to flush out a criminal with whom she once had an affair.

The agent will be played by Angelina Jolie, which would make for an awesome pairing with Depp. I’m trying to think if they’ve ever done a movie, and nothing comes to mind. If not, it’s time!

Any thoughts on this pairing?
