Rufus Sewell and Dominic Cooper Tackle Honest Abe, but Really Love the Monarchy

Rufus Sewell and Dominic Cooper are Brits, but they're taking on an American icon in their new movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which hits theaters today.

Rufus Sewell and Dominic Cooper are Brits, but they're taking on an American icon in their new movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which hits theaters today. We caught up with the twosome at a recent press day in NYC, where they were joined by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Mary Elizabeth plays Mary Todd Lincoln to Benjamin Walker's Honest Abe, and despite being one of the few ladies in the cast, she was happy to be one of the guys. Dominic and Rufus threw themselves into the American story, but they still confess to getting "warm" feelings when thinking about things from their homeland, like the royal family and the queen's Diamond Jubilee. Find out what the trio had to say.

Pinup Girl Chic: Quirky Rosette Hair Clips

Mary Elizabeth Winstead was fetching with any color hair in Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, and in real life it appears she's still a floral fan — although one more inclined to stick to one hair color.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead was fetching with any color hair in Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, and in real life it appears she's still a floral fan — although one more inclined to stick to one hair color. I love this quirky, vintage-feel, khaki rosette she wore last night (check out the button in the middle), so I decided to put together some similarly cute options. They're all retro-pretty with a twist, whether the "flower" is actually made of feathers like this Feather Hair Clip & Clothing Pin ($4), has a sweet pattern like this Polka Dot Flower Hair Clip ($5), or comes in a surprising and pretty hue like this cameo blue Tasha 'Tulayla' Flower Clip ($28) and taupe Glam Satin Hair Pin ($3).

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: Game On!

Based on the graphic novel series of the same name, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a genre-bender — it's part action flick, part rock and roll anthem, part romantic comedy.

Based on the graphic novel series of the same name, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a genre-bender — it's part action flick, part rock and roll anthem, part romantic comedy. Overlaid with whimsical video game effects, it's a risky combo to employ for a mainstream film, but director Edgar Wright has executed it so confidently and with such commitment that it's a triumph.

Michael Cera is the title character, a bass player in the band Sex Bob-Omb, who mostly hangs out with his friends and deals with the daily drama of his love life. When he meets Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), his mysterious, multicolored-tressed love interest, he falls at his feet to date her. Like any new relationship, there are challenges — specifically Ramona's past, which includes seven angry exes that Scott must fight to the death if he wants to keep seeing Ramona. Not only is his life on the line, each of his nemeses has a mystical power he has to overcome (my favorite? Brandon Routh's vegan-powered psychic abilities). It's fantastical, for sure, but give it a shot: Scott Pilgrim is an energy drink of a movie, an effervescent gem with the aesthetics of a video game and the heart of an indie romance.

W magazine's September issue features a lineup of hot young things, including Emma Roberts, Zoe Kravitz, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World's Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The trio is featured alongside Yaya DaCosta, Jennifer Lawrence, Greta Gerwig, Kat Dennings, and Jessica Chastain in the issue, which goes on sale nationwide on the 24th. The actresses posed for an accompanying photo spread and went on to chat about risqué topics. They said:

  • Emma Roberts on doing nude scenes: "I don’t know that I'd do a full-on nude scene ever. I've never had a full-on sex scene . . . but we'll see."
  • Zoe Kravitz on intimate scenes: "I'll make a sex scene as uncomfortable as I can just to break the ice."
  • Mary Elizabeth Winstead on sex scenes: "I prefer to do a love scene with someone I've just met."
  • Greta Gerwig on the awkwardness of sex: "I think a lot of sex is very awkward. Instances of awkward love making probably outspace instances of beautiful lovemaking, at least in my experience."

Michelle is Bringing Black to Christmas

Tara Reid wasn't the only one looking fabulous at the premiere of Black Christmas this week.

Tara Reid wasn't the only one looking fabulous at the premiere of Black Christmas this week. The movie's stars Michelle Trachtenberg, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Katie Cassidy looked lovely as they walked down the red carpet at Mann's Chinese Theater in LA. Black Christmas is a remake of the 1974 film that tells the story of 6 sorority girls who celebrate the holidays together and quickly turns into a terror flick. Here's more:

"You're gonna laugh, you're gonna cry, you're gonna get scared out of your mind," insists MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG, one of the film's leading ladies.

Opening, appropriately enough, on December 25, 'Black Christmas' is targeting audiences who want a little tingle with their tinsel.

Says Michelle's co-star MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD: "There's nothing out there right now quite like this, so if you want the alternative to the deep Oscar contenders or the happy feel-good holiday Christmas movies out there, then this is the film for you. There are people who want something a little different around the holidays."

Sounds a bit cheesy, but I guess some people are interested in movies other than great Oscar contenders - we're just not one of them. More of Michelle Trachtenberg, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Katie Cassidy, Jessica Harmon, Rex Lee, Kristen Cloke and Crystal Lowe so read more
