Matthew & Dennis Are Super Psyched About Vantage Point

PopSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 02:09:11 -0800

Matthew Fox and Dennis Quaid felt the need to coordinate their outfits at a photocall for Vantage Point at the Berlinale Film Festival on Saturday. Matthew looked pretty even if it looked like he was taking style advice from Shia. Dennis on the other hand looked a little too excited to be in Germany but the good news is that seeing him in good spirits must mean that all is well with him again after that really scary incident with his twins back in November.

Scarlett and Natalie Go Sheer and Shiny For Their Big Premiere

PopSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:30:33 -0800

Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman slipped into a couple of sexy numbers for the red carpet premiere of The Other Boleyn Girl at the Berlinale Film Festival today. Scarlett wore a more simple dress to balance her teased hair and dramatic eyeliner, while Natalie made it very clear that she's not the prude good girl she often gets pegged for. Once again, the girls talked about how well they got along on the set and how much they respect one another. Natalie said, "People keep asking if the rivalry was real but it was the opposite because we just liked each other so much. It was such a rare opportunity to work with an actress my age who I much admire."

Scarlett, Natalie, and Eric Love Each Other

Molly — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:31:28 -0800

Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman were finally joined by their handsome costar Eric Bana for a Berlinale Film Festival photocall before their premiere of The Other Boleyn Girl today. With all three hot young actors working together, of course there have to be rumors that they didn't get along, but Bana was quick to shoot down any whispering. He said, "I hate to break it to you but actors really do love each other. It's a crazy job and we put ourselves in vulnerable positions. I don't care if it sounds corny but it's true: you're part of a brotherhood, and protect each other. And they indeed do get along really well." While Natalie and Scarlett are so often pegged as total opposites, sometimes that's exactly what you need from a friend.

Madonna's Light on the Filth, Heavy on the Wisdom

Molly — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 11:00:29 -0800

In her second black dress of the day, Madonna and the stars of her directorial debut Filth and Wisdom attended their premiere last night in Berlin along with festival staple Diane Kruger. The movie focuses on three characters striving for stardom, which apparently hit close to home for Madonna. She said, "If I look back to the beginning of my career, I can recall those moments of struggle like it was yesterday." We all know Madonna's not struggling for success anymore (uh, to put it lightly). The movie's reviews, however, are a different story.

Madonna Shares Her Filth and Wisdom

PopSugar — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:30:11 -0800

Madonna slipped into a sexy see-through number to show off her latest project at the Berlin Film Festival in Germany today. Her film Filth and Wisdom marks the directorial debut she's been working on for the last year, and she was joined by her cast at a photocall and press conference for the film. The movie sounds pretty controversial and racy, but M was just happy to finally get her feet wet as a director. She said,

"I have always admired the art of filmmaking and the ability to tell a good story. After almost three decades of being in front of a camera, I decided to put my money where my mouth is. Filth and Wisdom was essentially my way of putting myself through film school. When the film was finished, I realised that they were all aspects of me, so the whole experience was both artistic and therapeutic."

Madonna has tried to see if her talents extend to another realm before, but we'd prefer to see the superstar in front of the camera rather than behind it.

The stars were scattered all over the map this weekend, between the Grammys and the BAFTAs, but yet another set of celebs headed to Germany for the 58th Berlinale International Film Festival. Ryan Reynolds showed his pretty face and his co-star Hayden Panettiere glittered in gold to represent their movie Fireflies in the Garden. As always, Penelope is beautiful in black, there for her film Elegy while Diane Kruger looked stunning and thrilled to be on the red carpet on her home turf. The festival will be going on all week, and we can't wait to see who else comes out to shine and show off their new movies.

Biggest Headlines of 2008: Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Year

PopSugar — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:30:31 -0800

We've been counting down the biggest headlines of 2008, and we'll be revealing more throughout the month of December. We hope you enjoy this look back at some of the posts and stories that created the most buzz throughout the year.

It was a year of ups and downs for Madonna, who spent the first half of 2008 focusing on her new album before her music was eclipsed by her personal drama in the press. She started things off by taking Lourdes and Rocco around India and continued to raise money for Malawi with her celebrity friends. In February Madonna showed off her first endeavor as a director when her film Filth and Wisdom premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. Her debut was a milestone for the pop star, but the buzz quickly shifted to her new album, Hard Candy. She and her little black ensembles were all over the magazine covers and her collaboration with Justin quickly became a big hit.

Madonna's success continued and was marked by her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but by March there were whispers of problems with her marriage to Guy Ritchie. They battled the gossip with hand-in-hand dinner dates, but the speculation was far from over. Madonna hit the road on her Sticky and Sweet tour once Hard Candy was released in May. When she wasn't busy up on stage, she stuck by Guy's side at Cannes but by Summer the divorce rumors were back and bigger than ever. To look back at the rest of Madonna's year just read more.

Not long after Madonna was spotted at Yankee stadium with her kids in June, word spread like wildfire that something was going on between her and Yankee Alex Rodriguez and that both she and Guy had already hired divorce lawyers. Madonna's rep was quick to deny the reports and rumors, and as if on cue, Madonna and Guy were spotted holding hands a few days later in NYC. In early July Alex Rodriguez's wife filed for divorce, which didn't help matters.

Her marriage controversy was put on the backburner for a bit when her brother Christopher Ciccone published a tell-all about Madonna, which bothered her more than the affair rumors. Madonna and Guy continued to keep up the appearance of being a happy couple, celebrating her 50th birthday together in August and appearing together on red carpets for Guy's movie Rocknrolla before it was his turn for a birthday bash.

While everything seemed to be fine on the surface, the year-long questions about their relationship were about to be answered. The rumors about Madonna and A-Rod continued and they were spotted having dinner together in October just a few days before Madonna and Guy officially announced their divorce on October 15.

The split wasn't about to slow down Madonna's touring schedule, and she had friends in her corner on stage and off. It didn't take much time for the rumors about their divorce settlement and child custody to get ugly. The couple reached a divorce settlement in mid December, and went their separate ways. As Guy keeps busy with Sherlock Holmes, Madonna is still performing on stage night after night. She's been spotted with Alex a handful of times in the past months, and despite rumors that they're getting closer, A-Rod claims that there's nothing romantic between them. It was a roller coaster year for Madonna to say the least, but we might have to wait until 2009 to find out if she and A-Rod are more than just friends.

Clive Owen Takes His Sexy Self Underground

PopSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 04:00:00 -0800

Clive Owen was in the London Underground Sunday working on his new movie, The Boys Are Back. We haven't seen as much of Clive since he filmed Duplicity with Julia Roberts over the Summer, though it doesn't appear to have diminished anyone's love for him since he's currently holding his own in our Sexiest Men of 2008 poll. Fortunately, there's a whole lot of Clive coming our way in 2009 - on top of the release of his film with Julia, he's set to kick off the Berlin Film Festival in February with The International alongside his costar and new mom again, Naomi Watts.
