Adam Sandler Is a Man For All Generations

PopSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 13:30:36 -0700

Adam Sandler went with one of his standard super casual outfits for the premiere of You Don't Mess With the Zohan in LA last night, but he still had plenty of pretty ladies to pose with on the red carpet. His co-star Emmanuelle looked gorgeous as usual, while his wife Jackie showed off her already growing baby bump. This has been a big week for Adam between confirming his baby news and promotional tour, and it's about to get even sweeter -on Sunday he'll receive the MTV Generation Award at the Movie Awards! We are already gearing up for the big event, and now we're excited to have a funny acceptance speech to look forward to.

Lots of other photos including Anna Faris, David Hasselhoff, and David Spade if you just read more.

Adam Isn't An Ultimate Star PayBack

PopSugar — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 13:43:50 -0700

Adam Sandler is in Central Park on the set of You Don't Mess with the Zohan with our favorite Entourage woman, Emmanuelle Chriqui. While we love the funnyman, apparently he hasn't been worth his big paycheck. According to Forbes for every dollar Adam is paid, he only returns $9 of gross income making him one of the lowest paybackers in the biz whereas Matt Damon, who tops the list, returns $29. We weren't surprised to see Matty on the top, but it's not all Adam's fault that he scored so low since typically comedies don't return as well overseas as action movies do. As for the highest female payback? We were happy to see Jennifer Aniston top the list at $17!

To see the list of the top 10 and more pics of Adam, the adorable Emmanuelle and his amazing bulldog Matzoh Ball just read more

1. Matt Damon ($29)
2. Brad Pitt ($24)
3. Vince Vaughn & Johnny Depp ($21)
5. Jennifer Aniston ($17)
6. Angelina Jolie ($15)
7. Renee Zellweger ($14)
8. Reese Witherspoon ($13)
9. Ben Stiller ($13)
10. Sandra Bullock ($13)

Adam Sandler Channels Inner Pacino

Molly — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 00:21:47 -0700

Fresh off his movie's surprising opening weekend #1 spot at the box office, Adam Sandler put on his very best Al Pacino wig to roam the streets of NYC yesterday. I kid, of course, he's wearing the ridiculous hair/goatee combo for his upcoming movie You Don't Mess With the Zohan. And don't even get me started on that tank-top hooded sweatshirt. No wonder they won't let him in the Paul Mitchell salon. Well, something tells me this means Adam is sticking to the comedies for a little while at least. Fingers crossed he finds a way that snortface Matzoh Ball can make a cameo. Love him.

Catching Up With Emmanuelle Chriqui

PopSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 07:45:00 -0700

Last year we had the opportunity to interview the fabulous Emmanuelle Chriqui, and we were lucky enough to chat with the actress again this week. She's been super busy promoting You Don't Mess With The Zohan all over LA, including a stop by Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night. We got the scoop on everything from working with big names in Hollywood, to returning to Entourage, to being a big environmentalist. She was also nice enough to share a few of her fashion and beauty secrets, so be sure to head over to Fab and Bella to check it out. Here's a preview of what she had to say:

On working with Adam Sandler: "Oh my God, he is so incredible. I can’t say enough good things about Adam, he constantly impresses me. He is the most grounded, real person ever. It’s the weirdest thing, and to kind of be as iconic as he is, he never loses what his priorities are - like his family and friends, being a good person and it’s amazing to see that in Hollywood. You kind of wish everybody was like that. "
On being green: "I am a huge environmentalist, and I drive a Prius. I’m a part of the Environmental Media Association, and I think it is the coolest thing in the world to be green. I really do, I think it is especially important for young people to just sort of jump on that bandwagon because this is our world, we have the chance to save it or kill it. I just think it is majorly important. It is something I am passionate about - it's not uncool to be green. It is the opposite!"

To read the full interview where Emmanuelle talks about working on Cadillac Records, the boys of Entourage and lots more, just read more.

PopSugar: Adam Sandler's not the only big name you are working with these days. Tell us about Cadillac Records?
Emmanuelle: I am so excited about that movie. Just because it was a script that I read that I totally fell in love with. It’s just an amazing story about musical history that shaped everything - music as we know it today. And of course working with Adrien Brody and Jeffrey Wright was ridiculous, I would have paid to do that movie!

PS: How about Patriotville?
Emmanuelle: We did a re-shoot on Patriotville, I’m actually really grateful for it because we got to fine tune a lot of things. I haven’t seen the new version yet, but apparently they are pretty happy so hopefully that will be something that will be coming out in the future.

PS: Do you like doing the more comedic role or like the dramatic stuff better?
Emmanuelle: You know, I love them both, they are such different experiences, but ultimately both totally exhilarating. I think what it is is when you work with someone who is at the top of their game, whatever their game is, it is just an amazing experience -like working with Sandler and Rob Schneider and John Turturro who are seasoned comedians, it is so amazing as an actor when you feel like you have to step up your game, like you are being challenged just by the company your holding. It’s just awesome.

PS: Do you miss the TV work or do you really like the movies right now?
Emmanuelle: I love the movie stuff, my dream was also to be doing film, but having said that, Entourage was not only the thing that totally changed the direction in my career, but you know I miss the show. I miss the guys. I’m going to be going back for one episode this season. It remains sort of open between E and Sloan - who knows what is going to happen. But like I just think cable shows, generally speaking, are not like regular television, and working with HBO and Entourage - a critically acclaimed show - you know, that show always felt like making a movie. We were always on location. And even in the way that they had premieres for the show, it always felt like it was more of a movie than a TV show.

PS: Do you keep in touch with the boys at all?
Emmanuelle: Yeah, well, in particular Kevin Connelly who is truly one of my best friends. We talk all the time. They are like my brothers. You know, the other day, it was really funny - I had a meeting in Beverly Hills and as I was leaving I saw this film crew and I was like, "Oh I wonder if that is Entourage?" And then I saw our prop master and it was! And then I see Kevin standing at the curb and was like, “Kevin! Hey!” So I walk over and it was like the sweetest thing, like one by one all the boys came over and said hello. It was just like a family, truly like a family. And you know, even though I am not a regular on the show, I never feel like, “Oh what is she doing here?” It's always like, "Oh yay!" It’s just a really nice thing.

PS: They seem like really nice guys, but you know, it's nice to hear that they actually are.
Emmanuelle: Yeah, they are, they are really amazing.

Thanks to adorable Emmanuelle for taking the time to talk to us again. We can't wait to check out her upcoming films and are already excited for her return to Entourage!

Sadie Sandler Is Daddy's Little Girl

Molly — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:30:27 -0700

Adam Sandler's little daughter Sadie is certainly the spitting image of daddy and getting cuter by the day. The duo spent their Saturday grabbing some lunch together in Brentwood. While You Don't Mess With the Zohan and his newly announced Apatow project might be a little too mature for Sadie just yet, maybe his whimsical gumball rainstorm movie Bedtime Stories will be more up her alley. Adam has something else great in the works too - he'll be participating in the second biannual Night of Too Many Stars comedy show to benefit autism research. I'm sure his little sweetheart Sadie would be especially proud of that project of daddy's.
