Oprah Joins Will, John and Sidney to Celebrate Tyler's Studio

PopSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 04:00:00 -0700

Oprah Winfrey brought both Stedman Graham and Gayle King to the opening gala for Tyler Perry's new movie and TV studio in Atlanta on Saturday night. While Oprah is dealing with a defamation lawsuit from the former headmistress of her South African Girls school, it was the history-making event that had Oprah so emotional. Tyler is the first African-American to own his own studio and there were a few tears in the crowd as he took the stage to announce that he's named three sound-stages after the legendary actors Ruby Dee, Cecily Tyson and Sidney Poitier. Sidney was there to accept the honor, saying, "I spent 56 years making movies and this is the reward that I have that means the most to me." With a supportive crowd including Will Smith, John Legend and many others, it was truly an event worth celebrating.

Vince and Seth Do It for the Kids

Molly — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 13:29:32 -0700

Vince Vaughn and Seth Rogen were among the stars out last night at the Beverly Hills Hilton for the Fulfillment Fund's Annual Stars Gala. The organization works with disadvantaged youth to help them graduate from high school, get into college and then stay in school once they get there. Vince was looking a little more like his old self amongst pretty silly rumors that he is seeing Vanessa Williams (hey, random). Seeing the young whippersnapper Seth Rogen must be a little bit like looking into his past for Vince, right? Even if Vince were very much the Hollywood veteran in comparison, it would be pretty great to see those two team up together for a movie. Old school and new school Bromantic Comedy guys coming together.

Basterds Hit LA With Angelina, Brad, and Lottery-Winning Diane as Cast Gushes About Mr. Pitt

Molly — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 06:00:45 -0700

Inglourious Basterds took over LA last night for its big star-studded red carpet and premiere. All the stars of the film were there, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had all eyes on them as they posed lovingly in matching black. On Sunday, Brad skipped the press junket, but some of his costars were happy to talk about working with him. Diane Kruger, who looked amazing as usual at the screening, said, "What I really admire in someone like Brad, who's such a big movie star, is that he's truly all about the work still. It's not all about being Brad Pitt on set. He's dedicated." She also gushed about working on the movie saying, "I've won the lottery. I'm in a Quentin Tarantino movie. I'll be cool with my kids forever!"

The movie features many other foreign actors alongside Brad, B.J. Novak, and Eli Roth. Irish actor Michael Fassbender said of Brad, "He's one of the good guys out there - to be so talented and to be at the top of his game for so long and to be so real . . . generous . . . and very supportive. It's pretty humbling." Meanwhile, B.J. talked about when Brad attended Quentin's movie nights in Berlin: "[Brad] showed up once or twice. He has a well-documented family life to attend to, but he was really good and cool about being social with everyone. He made us feel like we were part of a gang that he was the leader of." In the movie, Brad heads up his gang of Basterds, but in real life it sounds like he's a pretty good leading man to have around too.

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 08:30:30 -0800

Despite rumors that Graydon Carter was scaling things back for this year's Vanity Fair Oscars party, the soiree was as A-List as ever at its new venue the Sunset Towers. Jennifer Aniston could relax after her presenting duties, and when she and John Mayer hit the party, they couldn't keep their hands off each other. The couple cuddled up every chance they got, and he twittered a sweet message about her. Salma Hayek hugged her friend Penelope Cruz to celebrate her Supporting Actress win. Elsewhere, Jessica Alba and Kate Bosworth caught up with presenter Halle Berry to smile for the cameras, while Jake Gyllenhaal shared a moment with Reese Witherspoon.

The fans let loose quite the screams when Kate Winslet, the star of the night, hit the red carpet with her Oscar in hand. Once inside the party she shared it with fellow nominee Meryl Streep just a bit. Madonna had her own party to host with Demi Moore, but she also stopped by VF, where she showed off her toned arms. Apparently even Captain Sully made a surprise appearance at the bash, which may have been smaller than usual but didn't lack in the glamour department.

RIP Richard Pryor

PopSugar — Sat, 10 Dec 2005 19:05:00 -0800

Richard Pryor passed away today from a heart attack Saturday at the age of 65. He influenced many of today's most popular comedians and was so popular in the 70s and 80s that he became one of the highest paid actors of his time. Unfortunately he had a terrible battle with drugs and alcohol and in recent years has been suffering from multiple sclerosis.

The Toy was one of my favorite movies growing up. I could watch it over and over again. Comedy has lost one of it's great talents this weekend but it's nice to see people in LA stop by his star and show some love.

Here he is with Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy back in the day.
