Matthew and Catherine Celebrate Michael's Body of Work

PopSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:30:48 -0700

Michael Douglas was the man of the evening last night as he received an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award in LA. He hit the red carpet on the arm of his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, while his Ghosts of Girlfriends Past costar Matthew McConaughey brought along Camila Alves. Kiefer Sutherland and Tobey Maguire took the stage to pay tribute to their pal Michael, and Catherine even brought out her Chicago skills for a song-and-dance number in her husband's honor. Michael's been a Hollywood heavyweight for decades, but we'll see more of him on the big screen in the Wall Street sequel and, according to Catherine, a project they're looking to star in together.

Leo Brings His Golden Smile to the Lakers

PopSugar — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 05:00:00 -0800

Leonardo DiCaprio sat with Lukas Haas to watch the Lakers defeat the Kings on Friday night. Leo has a lot to smile about this week with Revolutionary Road scoring four Golden Globe nominations including a Best Actor nod for Leo, which he celebrated by calling fellow nominee and good friend, Kevin Connolly. He recently sat down with Kate Winslet for an adorable interview with Entertainment Weekly and talked about their post-Titanic life, Academy awards and reuniting over a decade later. Here are some highlights:

On young stars like Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron gaining Hollywood fame so quickly: "That's the interesting thing about being an actor. You are also a public figure. Early on I made it my policy that a certain amount of publicity is good - you promote your job, you do your movie, you retain your private life, you don't divulge everything about yourself. And when I see younger actors getting a tremendous amount of publicity, I say to myself, Well, they've been given an unbelievable opportunity, and I hope they know within themselves that all that really matters at the end of the day is the work. All this noise and attention will absolutely deteriorate and there will be a new, fresh piece of meat for the media to focus on within less than a year's time. So what they should do at this moment is work their [butts] off to prove to the public and prove to themselves that they can absolutely have a long-term career."

To see more photos from the Lakers game and read a sweet exchange between Kate and Leo just read more.

On working with Kate again: "Over the years, I would find myself stopping and saying, 'I don't know if we should do this again.' And then I'd think, 'What are you, an idiot? Why wouldn't I want to work with the best actress of her generation? Am I going to be prejudiced against a project just because Kate's in it?' I think we both had been actively looking for something else to do together, but we fundamentally knew that we couldn't tread on any sort of similar territory."
Kate: "May I? [Reaching over and rubbing her finger over DiCaprio's nose] You've scratched the top of your nose! Oh, no, we're literally doing everything we said we wouldn't do."
Leo: "I know, this is a little too cute. It's like out of one of those -"
Kate: "Don't say it!"
Leo: "- one of those scenes from When Harry Met Sally... with the old couples. 'And I met her in the park in 1992! And she was...' 'Eating a hot dog!' 'And I was scratching my butt!'"
Kate: "Oh, my God, and look at me fussing over your face. I've literally turned into a combination of your mother, your sister, and, I don't know what, your wife!"
Leo on Fame, Post-Titanic: "You never get used to it. Post-Titanic, it was more intense than anyone our age has ever dealt with in the history of...anything. It was the modern era of media and paparazzi where they're organized, with multiple SUVs following you around. I didn't know it would at the time, but it has way calmed down in my life.... By the way, I really hate talking about post-Titanic because it always sounds to me in print like I'm complaining when I have nothing to complain about. That movie gave both of us tremendous opportunities for what we wanted to do as actors."

It'll be exciting to see these two back on the big screen and even more fun to see them walk down the red carpet for the Golden Globes in January.

It's Prom Night for Sharon and Fergie!!

Molly — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 00:53:48 -0700

This is me biting my tongue about Sharon Stone. Okay, she looks ridiculous and like she's going to a prom -- but she is, you know, going to a prom. Sharon and friends were out for the "Class of Hope Prom 2007" benefiting children in need. I love me some Fergie, but girlfriend looks like she could wash her hair. Otherwise, uh, I guess I'll go with brava for all the ladies? Also, I vote Fergs for Prom Queen.

Happy B-Day Sharon. You Don't Look a Day Over Crazy!

Molly — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:32:44 -0700

If you were an attention starved aging actress like Sharon Stone, where would you choose to hold your Birthday celebration in the hopes that the paps would take notice? Why, The Ivy of course! Never let it be said that girlfriend doesn't love attention! Shar turned 49 this weekend -- doesn't she just look fabulous (yes, I'm just saying that because she mostly terrifies me). Her friends Demi Moore and Melanie Griffith braved the paparazzi mob to celebrate with the birthday girl. Gotta believe that lunch got a little wild!

Chicago Celebrates 10 Years

PopSugar — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 10:46:25 -0800

Chicago celebrated their 10 year anniversary last night with a very special performance that brought out all the stars who have taken part in the musical. Brooke Shields, Melanie Griffith and Ashlee Simpson were all there for the special night, but what everyone was talking about was Melanie's Roxie performance. Here's more:

...the evening's most endearing moment occurred as Melanie Griffith started to sing and dance the song "Roxie." A lighting malfunction caused a persistent loud flapping sound as director Walter Bobbie raced to the foot of the stage. He asked Griffith to begin the number again after the problem was fixed. "I guess this is take two," a game Griffith giggled as theatergoers roared their approval.

There were multiple Billy Flynns on stage, too. The opportunistic lawyer was portrayed not only by the original, James Naughton, but by Gregory Harrison, Huey Lewis, John O'Hurley, Kevin Richardson and Christopher McDonald, among others.

"This is a cast made in theatrical heaven," said producer Barry Weissler after the scores of performers took their tumultuous curtain calls. He was joined on stage by Fran Weissler, his wife and co-producer, who summed up the evening by saying, "Except for giving birth, this is the most exciting night of my life."

Many more pics from the evening including a very pretty and once again very different looking version of Ashlee Simpson as well as Brooke, Backstreet Boy's Kevin Richardson and more so read more
