I know the SAG Awards were a while back, but Betty White’s acceptance speech for her Life Achievement Award was so adorable. Here it is, in case you missed it. She’s such a gem.

On the Red Carpet With the Stars of ‘Valentine’s Day’

Jane Boursaw — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:41:00 +0000

Ready for a sweet romantic movie? Me, too! I hope ‘Valentine’s Day’ delivers. It stars a whole bevy of actors, including Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Jennifer Garner, Ashton Kutcher, George Lopez and Hector Elizondo (thus continuing his deal to land a role in every film directed by Garry Marshall).

The story follows several intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles as they make up and break up around the mystery that is Valentine’s Day. It’s rated PG-13 for some sexual material and brief partial nudity, and opens in theaters this Friday, Feb. 12, 2010. Here’s a little clip of a few of them on the red carpet.

Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel talk ‘When in Rome’

Jane Boursaw — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 04:45:01 +0000

I’m meeting some friends to see “When in Rome” on Friday. It just looks like a fun romantic comedy that’s perfect to see either with friends or your main squeeze.

Here Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel talk about filming the movie, about a young, ambitious New Yorker whose completely unlucky in love. But all that changes on a trip to Rome, where she impulsively steals some coins from a reputed fountain of love, causing her to be aggressively pursued by a band of suitors.

Now I’ve got “Three Coins in a Fountain…” stuck in my head. Not a bad thing, though.

Hope for Haiti Highlights (VIDEO)

Jane Boursaw — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:40:59 +0000

Here’s a little video highlights clip from last night’s "Hope for Haiti" telethon, organized by George Clooney to help those hit by the devastating earthquake. It really does a heart good to see something like this come together so fast, and with ALL the celebrities that were involved.

Madonna, U2, Bruce Springsteen and dozens more helped to raise money for the earthquake victims. I don’t see a tally yet, but 100% of the funds go towards the relief efforts. You can donate by going to Hope for Haiti Now or calling 1-877-994-2484.

Robert Downey Jr’s acceptance speech — one of my favorite Golden Globes moments

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:58:00 +0000

I’m not too sure about Ricky Gervais’ hosting skills at the Golden Globes the other night. He sort of bombed out. And I even talked with him a few weeks before the event, and he said he’d be nice and have fun with it.

Well, here’s the thing. You can’t make fun of a bunch of people who are sitting right in front of you. So when he took potshots about Kiefer Sutherland’s anger management issues and Mel Gibson’s drinking, it didn’t seem that funny. Not funny at all, really. In fact, I thought maybe Kiefer was going to jump onstage and beat the crap out of him.

Anyway, for the next Golden Globes host, I’d like to nominate Robert Downey, Jr. His acceptance speech for winning Best Actor (Comedy or Musical) was really sweet and funny. Take a look, and if you haven’t seen “Sherlock Holmes” yet, go see it.

Anna Kendrick on shooting ‘New Moon’ and ‘Up in the Air’

Jane Boursaw — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 03:44:37 +0000

“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” hasn’t been buzzed about too much in terms of awards, but that doesn’t mean the cast and crew will be absent from the Golden Globes, Oscars and other upcoming awards festivities.

Here’s a clip from ReelzChannel in which Anna Kendrick talks about her roles in “New Moon” and “Up in the Air.” Kendrick has been nominated for a Golden Globe for best supporting actress in “Up in the Air.”

Anna Kendrick: Who’s sexier? George Clooney or Robert Pattinson

Jane Boursaw — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 04:22:43 +0000

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.

Michael Cera should do a biopic on Garry Shandling’s life

Jane Boursaw — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:42:07 +0000

If there’s any doubt that Michael Cera is a troublemaker, this clip from MTV should clear things up. “Well, last night we almost got kicked out of the hotel for playing piano,” said the star of “Youth in Revolt” (in theaters this weekend).

Seriously, I really love Michael Cera, even though he basically plays the same character in every film.

And by the way, don’t you think he should do a biopic on Garry Shandling’s life? Same here (see below).

Johnny Depp at The People’s Choice Awards 2010 (VIDEO)

Jane Boursaw — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 04:59:20 +0000

I just posted some other clips from The People’s Choice Awards 2010, which aired last night. You can read my full recap at AOL Television, which includes a list of all the winners.

But, seriously, Johnny Depp deserves his very own post, don’t you think? Here is every girl’s favorite actor, who not only snagged the award for Favorite Movie Actor of the year, but also of the decade!

Video Clips from The People’s Choice Awards 2010 – ‘Paranormal Activity,’ Mariah Carey’s stumble, and more

Jane Boursaw — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 04:54:24 +0000

Here are a few clips from “The People’s Choice Awards” last night. You can read my full recap over at AOL Television, which includes a list of all the winners.

For the most part, it seemed very low-key, with nothing too shocking or awkward happening (except for some of the lame jokes). Oh, and Mariah Carey nearly tripped on her way up to the stage, but that’s nothing new.

More after the jump…
