Diane Goes For the Gold With a Little Help From Karl

PopSugar — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:30:25 PST

Diane Kruger was back in Berlin over the weekend to attend Saturday's Goldene Kamera Awards. The red carpet style star didn't disappoint in her latest gorgeous gown, this time opting to wear a Valentino number that another attendee, the model Barbara Meier, also wore. Kruger also kept warm with a faux fur coat. Karl Lagerfeld didn't seem to mind that Diane wasn't in Chanel, as he took the stage to present her with the Best International Actress statue for her work in Inglourious Basterds. Joining Diane for the show were Danny DeVito and Richard Gere, who added a little more Hollywood sparkle to the German event.

When in Rome: A Mindless Escape

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 05:30:00 PST

The formula for a typical romantic comedy is simple: you need two attractive actors and a plot that makes enough sense to keep the audience's attention. Everything else is a variable (friends, setting, dialogue), but those first two basics are what determine a rom-com's success. For When in Rome, the casting of Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel is a hit - but the plot, about a woman who unwittingly makes several men fall in love with her after stealing coins from a "fountain of love" - is a complete and utter miss.

Fortunately, it's not an altogether unpleasant experience - thanks to the naturally funny leads and supporting cast of Will Arnett, Dax Shepard, Jon Heder, and Danny DeVito (the poor saps in love with Bell's character, Beth), the movie is genuinely entertaining in parts. There are even laugh out loud moments . . . when the characters aren't talking about the "Fontana Di Amore."

To see what I mean, just

read more. If Bell didn't have to pretend to take the superstitions and rules about the magic fountain so seriously, I could have enjoyed her first real outing as a leading lady much more. When her sister (Alexis Dziena) relays more information about the fountain and what Beth must do to "break" the spell, there were audible groans in my theater (but props to the actors for keeping straight faces. That must have been tough.) It's really a shame that the plot device is so dreadful, because Josh Duhamel and Bell are natural-born romantic comedy stars. Both gorgeous and adept at physical comedy, they make an ideal pair for a movie in this genre. The rest of the cast, especially Shepard as a self-loving male model, also elicits a surprising amount of humor (they do get some help from an awesome, unexpected cameo that I won't spoil here). There are other problems that bring down the movie besides its ridiculous central storyline, particularly an unnecessary final sequence that should have ended up on the cutting room floor. However, if you're looking for a good time and can set aside your expectations for a realistic experience at the movies, you'll probably find yourself guffawing despite yourself - and waiting to see Bell and Duhamel in more worthwhile roles.

The Human Stars of Avatar Make Their Way to LA

PopSugar — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:30:51 PST

The stars of Avatar hit the blue carpet in LA last night to celebrate the Golden Globe nominated epic 3D film before it hits theaters this Friday. Director and writer James Cameron was on hand alongside stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana. Sigourney Weaver was also there along with her two daughters. Audrina Patridge spent a good chunk of yesterday filming for her upcoming show, but she was able to put on a poufy jacket just in time for the screening. The cast moved on afterwards to a special bash at David Arquette's Propr store, where they mixed film talk with humanitarian efforts to benefit the Save Darfur organization.

Movie Preview: Michael Douglas in Solitary Man

BuzzSugar — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 07:30:00 PST

The first trailer for Solitary Man is making the rounds, and I'm admittedly confused about what to expect from this one - is it a May-December rom-com a la Woody Allen, or a drama about one man's midlife crisis? Perhaps both?

The film follows an aging Casanova (Michael Douglas) who dates a woman (Mary Louise Parker) to boost his car business - only to ruin things when he sleeps with her daughter (Imogen Poots). Along the way, you also have his own daughter (Jenna Fischer in a non-Pam role!), his ex-wife (Susan Sarandon), an old friend (Danny DeVito), and Jesse Eisenberg, who appears to be his mentee of sorts.

The thought of Douglas romancing someone in college gives me gag reflexes, and there seems to be some sort of mafia/hitman tie-in, too. (Groan.) Still, how can such a good ensemble cast be wrong? I'm really hoping to like this one, but check it out and give me your early opinion when you

Johnny, Mary-Kate, and Ashleys Celebrate Tim Burton!

Molly — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:00:00 PST

Tim Burton was the man of the hour at the MoMA exhibit paying tribute to his amazing work and imagination in NYC yesterday. He had Helena Bonham Carter on one arm and his good friend Johnny Depp on the other as stars came out to celebrate Tim. With fans already excited for Alice in Wonderland, Tim's art lined the walls at the museum. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were among the attendees as was Ashley Greene who looked refreshed in an LBD despite a long week of New Moon promotion including Monday's big premiere. She looked amazing as usual - check out how to get her makeup look here - and made us smile on the red carpet with her adorable personality. Overall, Tim's big night at the MoMA lived up to his eccentric personality and amazing talent with an exhibit that his fans can now enjoy.

Josh Brings Diane to Party With Glee Kids For Fox in Pasadena

PopSugar — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 14:00:06 PDT

The stars of Fox partied the night away after a successful day of TCA presentations in Pasadena yesterday. Joshua Jackson had Diane Kruger with him all day and at the party, though she stayed out of the spotlight. Diane almost blended in with the crowd as she sipped a beer while Josh fielded questions about Fringe. He also talked about how much he loved going to Comic-Con and interacting with all the fans. The cast of Glee took it all in as everyone wanted to congratulate them on their upcoming show, though Lea Michele said she was mostly looking forward to everyone finally seeing more than just the pilot. Meanwhile, Buzz was off at the So You Think You Can Dance finale, where she chatted with the winner Jeanine - check it out here!

Stars Come Out For a Special Night Honoring Newman in SF

Molly — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 06:00:22 PDT

Last night some of the biggest names in Hollywood got together in San Francisco for a reading of The World of Nick Adams at Davies Symphony Hall. The event was to benefit Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Camp the Painted Turtle, which made it an especially touching and memorable evening. The legendary actor was honored by friends including Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Casey Affleck, Joaquin Phoenix and more. Bruce Willis didn't have any of his ladies, but smiled and showed off his salt and pepper beard. The celebrities all participated in reading the Ernest Hemingway stories on stage to the audience and among their peers - it was a very special evening indeed.

To see lots more from the event including Bruce Willis, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Danny DeVito and others just read more.

TV Tonight: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season Premiere!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 05:30:48 PDT

Always Sunny fans, listen up! The fourth season starts tonight on FX with two (count 'em, two!) new episodes - and they are doozies. In the first, "Manhunt," Dennis and Mac go on a manhunt (as in, they go hunting - camouflage and all - for a man) while Dee and Charlie become convinced that they are cannibals (thus the preview clips of the two of them at a morgue with a hot plate and a six-pack of beer). In the second episode, "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis," well, the gang solves the gas crisis . . . um, kinda.

I was treated to "Manhunt" when I went to the Always Sunny panel at Comic-Con back in July, and it is as hilariously crass and disgusting as ever. If you've never seen the show, however, I would suggest starting from the very beginning - not for any timeline reasons, simply because it might take an episode or two to get used to these guys and their outrageously politically incorrect ways.

The fourth season premieres tonight on FX starting at 10:00 p.m. (check local listings). To see a preview of this new season,
