Gerard, Thandie, and Idris RocknRoll Their Way to LA

Molly — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:30:31 -0700

Thandie Newton was joined by costars Idris Elba and Gerard Butler last night for the LA premiere of RocknRolla. They've been all over to promote the film, from Canada to the UK, and it's finally opening to limited release in the US on Friday. Director Guy Ritchie missed this one, but the cast seems to have gotten pretty close after all that traveling - Thandie and Gerard even shared a few kisses on the red carpet. Gerard's romance with Jennifer Aniston may have ended up being nothing, but even happily married Thandie seemed to enjoy his charming company.

Jeremy Piven Wants to be the "Jewish Michael Phelps"

PopSugar — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:30:57 -0700

After walking the red carpet in London, the RocknRolla crew flew over to Canada for their Toronto Film Festival premiere last night. The movie got a good review from PopSugar UK, and the cast looked like they were having a blast messing around with each other. After chatting with Jeremy at the Entourage premiere, we know he loves to joke around, talking about his Broadway debut and what is coming up for Ari in the new season. Here's more from what he told us on Wednesday night:

On Entourage: "I think this particular dynamic is really interesting because its a bunch of guys with a NY sensibility, where they speak the truth to each other as they know it, and it can be tough love at times and really really brutal, but no matter what their status is they are going to give it to you straight and I think there’s something very endearing about that."
On filming in NYC: "I love it. I wish I could film everything here to be honest with you. I’m actually going to start rehearsing on Monday. I’m doing Broadway around the corner. I’m doing Speed-the-Plow. It’s basically my Olympics. I’m doing eight shows a week and I just want to be the Jewish Michael Phelps."
On Ari changing in the upcoming season: "I think that the audience will see other sides to him that I’ve always thought existed - the complete dedication and love for his family . . . the fact that when he takes mushrooms in the desert and is peaking. He’s completely lost and without Lloyd he’ll never make it home. So that happens and that’s one of the greatest moments I’ve ever been able to play in my life. I’ve done a great deal of research."

While Jeremy called his Broadway experience "the role of a lifetime," we can't wait to see him back playing Ari alongside the boys when Entourage returns on Sunday.

Madonna Loves Her RocknRolla Guy

Molly — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 05:02:00 -0700

It was Madonna's turn to play supportive spouse at the premiere of Guy Ritchie's new movie RocknRolla in London last night. On a night off from her Sticky and Sweet tour, Madonna didn't join her husband on the red carpet until Guy had already spent an hour talking to the press and greeting fans. When asked about how they make it work he said, "You've just got to love your wife. . . Is that boring enough?" The famous couple looked glamorous, as did the movie's stars Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton. Meanwhile, as Madonna's world tour rolls on there may be trouble on the road already dealing with a disgruntled tour crew. There's always controversy when it comes to Madonna, but she probably wouldn't have it any other way.

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.

Madonna, Lindsay, Jessica and More Get Filthy and Wise

Molly — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 06:00:00 -0700

Madonna took a break from her Sticky and Sweet tour and put on some crazy gun-heeled shoes to premiere her directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom in NYC last night. Lindsay Lohan must have enjoyed her Sunday night at the material girl's show, because she went right from her leggings launch to the red carpet while Samantha headed back to LA amid rumors of trouble in their relationship. Dolce and Gabbana cohosted the event leading to some decked out ladies like a gorgeous Jessica Alba out for the night without Cash and a glowing pregnant in purple Naomi Watts. Chace cleaned up nicely for the show instead of staying home to watch the new Gossip Girl on TV. While Madonna's husband has been busy promoting his own new movie, RocknRolla, he didn't make it to the premiere with his wife. It looks like a certain famous Yankee stayed away from Madonna's big night too.

Guy Ritchie Gets 40th Birthday and Box Office Love

PopSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 05:00:00 -0700

Madonna went all out for her big 50th birthday bash, but her husband Guy's 40th yesterday was a little more low key. The couple, along with Lourdes, Rocco, and David took their celebration to the Punchbowl, the pub that they own in Mayfair. They were joined by a few friends, but Madonna and the kids cut out a bit early and left the late night partying to the birthday boy whose RocknRolla opened at No. 1 in the UK box office over the weekend. Madonna has one more show in London tonight before heading off around the world on her Sticky and Sweet tour, which is perfect timing to be able to celebrate her husband's b-day with her family before hitting the road.

Madonna and Gwyn, I Mean Guy, Are Just Fine

PopSugar — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:24:34 -0700

Madonna isn't going to let a few rocky marriage rumors slow her down. The pop star didn't have her man by her side when she was inducted into the Hall of Fame so people began whispering the same old story. Instead of hiding, Madonna went to dinner with her good friend Gwyneth who seems to be battling the same rumors over and over again as well. Maybe it's just something with American women married to British men but no matter how many nasty things people say, they seem to be doing just fine. Madonna's rep released a statement to squash the recent reports of an upcoming split. Liz Rosenberg said,

"I am delighted to confirm that Mr. and Mrs. Guy Ritchie remain happily married. Though they were in different countries recently – Madonna in the U.S. doing promotion for her upcoming album Hard Candy and Guy finishing up post production on his new film RocknRolla as well as completing a Nike commercial and working on several scripts in England – the family are joyfully back together at home in London. All is well and wonderful in the Ritchie household."

Guy Ritchie took his turn watching sons David and Rocco this week in London on the set of his latest film, RocknRolla. Rocco loves to ham it up for the cameras.
