Insanely addictive.
The role of Lucy Ewing was being sought after by many in young Hollywood. Names like Jessica, Lindsay, Paris, and Kristin were being thrown around as the possible actresses to work with J Lo and John Travolta in the big screen version of the hit TV show. Turns out producers went in another direction and took a virtually unknown actress named Katie Cassidy, the daughter of David Cassidy. US Read more
The MTV Movie Awards fun moved from the stage into last night's press room, where some of the victors posed for the first time with their newly acquired golden popcorns. Best Fight winners Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel made do without their fellow honoree, Robert Pattinson, while Harry Potter's Best Villain, Tom Felton, seemed pleased with his victory. Some of the presenters also made Read more
I still think of Seth Rogen as a raunchy comedy guy, but in Funny People he showed that he can pull off understated comedy as well. In 50/50, he's revisiting the subject of a friend with cancer, only this time, he's coming from a place of personal experience. Based on his friend Will Reiser's cancer diagnosis at the age of 27, the film is produced by Rogen and written by Reiser. Rogen also stars Read more
As if there was any doubt, the trailer for The Help makes it clear that the film is a bona fide chick flick. Set in 1960s Mississippi, Emma Stone stars as Skeeter, a recent college grad who returns home and takes a job working for a newspaper. When she's asked to choose a topic that "disturbs her", she asks to interview her friend's housekeeper, Aibileen (Viola Davis). The more Skeeter learns Read more

There are a lot of things that could have gone wrong with a movie like The Help. It could have gone overboard with the message of sisterhood and empowerment (like I feared when I first watched the trailer). It also could have put too much emphasis on the '60s setting while ignoring the darker themes of Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel, but thanks to a script that stays loyal to the source Read more
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner spent the afternoon side by side in Brentwood today. They showed sweet PDA during the lunch date as Ben put his arm around his pregnant wife and the couple shared a laugh.

Ben and Jennifer were also out together yesterday, when they grabbed breakfast Read more
Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas showed up in San Francisco for a premiere of Puss in Boots last night. The stars hit the red carpet in front of fans after a group of flamenco dancers entertained the audience. We chatted with the duo about their history working together, and Salma shared how much her 4-year-old Valentina loved the animated movie. Salma's daughter has been traveling with her Read more
50/50 doesn't really deserve the label "cancer comedy," because it's so much more than that. The film finds humor in the realities of an ordeal that's often treated with kid gloves on screen, but how ever many laughs 50/50 finds (and there are many), the script never mocks the subject matter. The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Adam, a guy in his late 20s who's otherwise healthy until the day Read more
