After presenting at the Golden Globes over the weekend, Jake Gyllenhaal was back to jogging around LA this morning. He got beefed up while working on Prince of Persia and it looks like he's still keeping his body in shape. If he continues this trend, Jake might bump Beckham out of his hard-earned fittest celebrity male title, or at least give him a run for his money.
It was Showtime's turn to present their newest show this morning at the TCAs, born from the mind of Steven Spielberg, The United States of Tara. After a video introduction from Spielberg himself, the cast and producers sat down to answer questions on the show. Toni Collette stars as a woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder, which her family and friends accept and work with rather than hide. Afterwards, Diablo revealed to Buzz that she'll be guest starring on 90210! Plus, she looked fantastic and a bit toned down from her Juno promoting days. I thought John Corbett would always be Aidan to me, but maybe from here on out I'll love him as Max. Here are some highlights from the panel and check out even more about the show over on Buzz:
Diablo on the subject matter: "This is not the kind of series you can base on imagination. When you’re dealing with a sensitive topic like this you have to do your homework…There are certainly people who have lived their lives this way…In this case I wanted to make sure that it was completely grounded."
Toni on taking the part: "I only ever respond to the material. I never had any aspirations to work in TV, but as soon as I closed the last page of the script I turned to my husband and said ‘I have to do this’ it’s a complete dream for an actor to play so many parts. . . I was most nervous about creating Buck [the male alter], I didn’t want him to be a cliché in anyway. There's a specific friend I observed. All of the characters are so complex and whole, you don’t have to travel that far to make it real."
John on his part: "When I finished reading the script I turned to Toni’s husband and said ‘I have to do this’."
Dad in Chief Obama Writes Open Letter to His Daughters A letter from Barack Obama to his daughters Malia and Sasha will run in this weekend's issue of Parade. In the letter, the president-elect explains why he took his family on their journey to the White House, and what he wants for his daughters, and every child in America.
Isla Fisher shows some skin in the new issue of GQ as she continues to promote Confessions of a Shopaholic. The actress has already revealed that she plans on marrying Sacha Baron Cohen soon and now she opens up about working on a new script. She feels there is a lack of strong, funny, female movies and is writing a film called Groupies with Amy Poehler to help her cause. Here's more:
On the movie she's working on with Amy: "It’s about classic, overconfident dum-dums lusting after a band. There’s a restraining order against them, but they’re in total denial."
On her fiancé Sacha: "He’s always funnier than me."
On the rumors she was having difficulty converting to Judaism: "The entire story is ridiculous. I converted three years ago. [When the reporter revealed his partner was Jewish but he hadn't converted] I’m willing to do a circumcision here. Get me a sharp knife and some ice and you won’t even feel it. "
Isla may be humble about her comedic talent, but with her new movie and upcoming projects, it sounds like she'll be getting just as many laughs as Sacha in no time.
We heard back in November that John Mayer may be getting his own variety show, and it looks like the plans are forging ahead. At the TCA tour today, the Entertainment President of CBS confirmed that the network is close to finishing a deal for a music/sketch type show. Now that it's really happening, tell us — would you watch John Mayer's variety show?
Sexy Salma Hayek looked perfectly polished on her way in and out of The Late Show yesterday. The actress is promoting her guest spot on 30 Rock, and she compared working with Alec Baldwin to enjoying a pint of delicious ice cream. She also told a few endearing stories about Valentina, mentioning that her trilingual baby likes things clean and sleepwalks at night. Dave teased Salma about Francois, and even brought up the engagement rumors. Salma didn't deny it but when he asked if there was going to be a wedding soon she coyly answered "Maybe... but then again maybe not." Sounds like we might have been right about our romantic speculation, but unfortunately Salma is still keeping us guessing.
