George Clooney and Brad Pitt Team Up For Live Prop 8 Play Performance

Molly Goodson — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 09:55:49 PST

George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Martin Sheen were among the A-list actors who participated in the stage reading of 8 in LA last night. The play, written by Dustin Lance Black, showcases the proceedings of the 2010 Proposition 8 federal court battle about California's gay marriage ban that was approved in 2008. The real life events were not broadcast to the public so Dustin Lance Black wrote this script to show what went on behind those closed doors. The play made its debut on Broadway last year, but last night it was all about the star power. 8 streamed live on YouTube, where it will also be available to watch at any time for the next week. Other celebrities in the performance included Kevin Bacon, Chris Colfer, Jesse Tyler Ferguson Jamie Lee Curtis, Matt Bomer, and more.

The overturning of Prop 8 is a cause that George and Brad have both spoken about many times. Clooney recently spoke about rumors about his own sexuality to The Advocate, saying, "I’m not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I’m very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I’m gay? I’ll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don’t give a sh*t."

Shirtless Kevin Bacon kicked back on the beach in Hawaii yesterday with his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, and their kids, Sosie and Travis. The couple vacationed on the island of Kauai and enjoyed the afternoon lounging under the sun and swimming in the Pacific Ocean. Wearing a mix-and-match bikini, Kyra showed off her many tattoos, with the largest design visible on her lower back.

Kyra and Kevin are expected back in LA later this month for the SAG Awards. She's nominated in the best actress category for her starring role in The Closer - check out the entire list of SAG nominees. Kyra took home a win in the same category at last year's Primetime Emmy ceremony, but we'll just have to wait and see if she adds another statue to her collection.

Miranda Does Lunch With Flynn Then Goes Green With Orlando

Allie Merriam — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 22:01:00 PDT

Miranda Kerr stepped out for lunch Saturday at LA's Cheebo with her son Flynn. She's home again in California following a quick trip last week to South Korea, where she did interviews and had a few changes including a traditional South Korean costume, for photo ops on behalf of one of her many contracts. Miranda changed into an orange dress by the evening to attend a Global Green party at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel with her husband Orlando Bloom. They mingled with his Sympathy For Delicious director and costar Mark Ruffalo at the bash, which also brought out box office winner X-Men: First Class star Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick. Orlando is a longtime celeb supporter of the eco organization, since both he and Miranda are well known for their advocacy on behalf of green causes.

January Jones and Kevin Bacon are gearing up for tomorrow's release of X-Men: First Class, and both were in NYC last week to talk all about prepping for their roles in the Summer blockbuster. Kevin admitted to being surprised at landing a role as a villain in the film, while January discussed the skimpy costumes her role required. Pregnant January Jones also touched on how she's getting ready for motherhood - check it out below!

Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, and Pregnant January Jones Dress Up to Show Off X-Men

Allie Merriam — Thu, 26 May 2011 07:22:56 PDT

The stars of X-Men: First Class rolled up to their premiere at NYC's Ziegfeld Theatre last night in a collection of vintage cars, perfect for the blockbuster set back in the '60s. Leading men Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy were dapper on the carpet following a long day of work at their press junket - stay tuned next week for our chat with the guys! January Jones covered up her baby bump in a blue and black Preen dress while Zoe Kravitz supported her longtime pal Alexander Wang in a gray velvet maxi. The cast was rounded out by Rose Byrne, Lucas Till, and Kevin Bacon, who fit a stop by The Late Show between afternoon interviews at the evening's screening. Rumored couple Zoe Kravitz and Michael Fassbender kept their distance on the carpet, posting with their many costars in between. The movie actually brought together another duo, since Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult are apparently dating now, too! Jennifer and Nicholas, though, weren't able to attend yesterday's event. The X-Men family connections keep coming, with Zoe's dad Lenny now set to star in The Hunger Games with Jennifer.

Movie Preview: Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page Fight Bad Guys in Super

Lauren Bradshaw — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 12:24:02 PST

The Office's Rainn Wilson is leaving his desk job to take on a masked alter ego in Super. Wilson stars as Frank, a married man whose wife (Liv Tyler) leaves him for a drug dealer (Kevin Bacon). Upset over the split, Frank decides to win her back by taking on the persona of Crimson Bolt, a violent hero who wields a wrench as his weapon. To help him in his endeavors, a girl from a comic book store (Ellen Page) offers herself up to be his sidekick, Boltie.

Sound familiar? It should, because by all appearances, Super plays out like a ripoff of Kick-Ass. It's impossible not to see the similarities between the films' concepts or how Boltie resembles Hit Girl. That said, Super looks more quirky-indie and, unfortunately, not as good. My other complaint: could we please see more Nathan Fillion? The actor only pops up once in the trailer. Take a look, and share your assessment after the jump.
