PopSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:00:25 -0800

Ryan Reynolds joined his friend Michael J. Fox on Saturday night for the annual A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson's benefit in NYC. Scarlett Johansson was by Ryan's side for last year's event, but this time Ryan had ladies like Rachael Ray and Julianne Moore keeping him company. Michael was the man of the evening, and he even entertained the crowd on stage with Steven Tyler. Ryan recently earned accolades for his sexy physique, but he also shows his big heart with his support of Parkinson's research.

PopSugarUK Meets the Me & Orson Welles Cast: Zac Talks Footloose & Finding Seclusion, and Claire Talks Flirting!

PopSugarUK — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:53:19 -0800

Yesterday I was lucky enough to spend an hour with Zac Efron! He and his castmates in Me and Orson Welles, Claire Danes and Christian McKay, talked about their new movie in a Q&A session with UK journalists alongside their director Richard Linklater. Zac looked handsome and casual in a blue t-shirt and jeans, and fiddled with a bottle top on the table while talking, he was pretty self-deprecating, as was Claire who looked gorgeous and was really funny. Look out for more from this session right here next week, but without further ado - here's part one!

Richard, finding Orson must have been the key to the movie?

And once you found your Orson, it was time to find your “Me”?
R – "I was just really lucky that Zac had read the script and liked it and wanted to meet me. You know, Zac was being offered every film in town."
Z - (deadpans) "You were so lucky."
R – "It’s true! It’s never a given, and we sat down, and I was convinced about fifteen seconds in and I felt like I’d found Richard. Like I did when I found Christian. Even though Richard’s only 17 you see it through his eyes, he needed to be a leading man, he needed to go toe to toe with Welles. I just needed that quality that Zac has, that charisma and that kinda presence."

Zac, were you trying to break out from High School Musical box?
Z - "I recognised almost immediately that this was a pretty unique opportunity. I got the phone call that Rick had a script that he’d like me to read, and he wanted to have a conversation about it. And I was… so excited, I remember running home to read the script. And I read it and was pleasantly surprised that the role was pretty big. That’s not exactly what I expected. I was the “Me”, that was pretty cool. I was looking for that opportunity. Not necessarily to change my image or anything. But for a new role, that was a new challenge, and something interesting – and this was it."

To hear why Zac dropped out of Footloose, find out how his efforts to find seclusion on the Isle of Man went, and Claire's opinions on having to flirt with him, just read more.

Claire, your character hovers on the outside of things, organising things…

What was it like to flirt with Zac Efron?
C – (sighs) "Tough. Going." (Zac nods) "I don’t know... it was amazing. First of all the dialogue was very special. It’s very rare to find writing of this quality, very witty and engaging and I had a lot of fun with the flirty slang words and goofy vernacular. And the scenes, I thought, were very tender. And you know, Zac’s amazing."
Z (laughing) – "Yeah, the dialogue made me look really good."
C – "I was delighted to discover how fine an actor he is. And he can move very well. We took some dancing lessons for a brief scene in a dance hall, and that was very humbling. Zac was a much quicker study than I was, my god. A very coordinated guy."
Z – "It was the first time I actually led! It was great!"

Zac on dropping out of Footloose:
Z - "Footloose didn’t happen for a number of reasons, but...you know, I think it just felt like territory that I’d already explored. I felt like I’d already been there before. As opposed to trying something brand new, which is a bit riskier and it was a whole lot scarier, but so much more interesting, I think."

The cast on filming on the Isle of Man:
R – "We had a good time on the Isle of Man, we spent about three weeks working, we were just in the theatre the whole time."
Z – "It was great. No, I didn’t know where it was. I was looking forward to that seclusion. From what I’d heard it was a pretty quiet place, and there weren’t a lot of people there. You know? I can’t tell you how appealing that sounded."
R – "The girls did find out Zac was there and they showed up,"
Z – "Yeah… anyways… I found out there was a whole lot of people there. And we met… most of them. I mean, I felt pretty welcome."
C – "I don’t think anybody has been better received there."
Z – "It was funny, we couldn’t really go outside that much. We couldn’t really leave the theatre… we were there a whole lot. Day and night."
C – "Plus the theatre was literally next door, adjacent to the hotel we were staying in."
Z – "There was a tunnel from the hotel to the theatre."
C – "You didn’t have to go outside from your room to the set."
Z – "I didn’t. Didn’t go outside. It was great."

Robert Pattinson Rises Early to Brighten Up the Day

PopSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:30:25 -0800

Robert Pattinson showed off a few of his many funny faces earlier this morning for his appearance on The Today Show. We've already taken a peek at his interview with Matt Lauer, where Rob opened up a little bit about Kristen and the stories of his being hit by a taxi over the Summer. Robert is due to spend the rest of the day in NYC before a special screening this evening. Their big day is tomorrow, so hopefully Robert, Kristen, Taylor, and their castmates will soon be able to let loose a little after weeks of traveling the world to promote New Moon.

Lots more images of Rob inside and outside the studio, so read more.

PopSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:30:16 -0700

A handful of Hollywood's most hilarious actors and actresses gathered together for the premiere of Funny People in LA last night. Eric Bana and Seth Rogen suited up while Adam Sandler kept to his casual style. Leslie Mann made a splash in her all-pink ensemble, but Rashida Jones looked equally gorgeous in muted tones - what lipstick shade do you like best on her? Director Judd Apatow had three dates for his big night, though his wife and daughters earned their tickets with roles in the film. On July 31, we'll get to check out the film, and it already seems like a home run with such an entertaining cast.

Adam Sandler Is Going to Fetch a Pail of Water?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:30:32 -0700

Well, I guess Adam Sandler is ready to go back to his old tricks after playing it straight in Funny People: the actor has signed on to play both Jack and Jill in the upcoming romantic comedy called - you guessed it - Jack and Jill. The movie will be produced by Sandler's company, Happy Madison.

The image of Adam Sandler as a woman is already giving me a bad taste in my mouth about this project. I love Sandler and his wacky sense of humor, but playing a pair of siblings sounds too immature even for him. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that he's not veering towards a career like Eddie Murphy's. What about you guys - are you excited to see Sandler in drag or is he getting too old for this stuff?

Which Hair Colour Do You Like Most on Leslie Mann?

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Funny People, a new film starring Adam Sandler, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan is about to hit theatres in the UK on 28th August. It's made quite the splash in America already with it's hysterical cast and slapstick plot. For those of you who don't already know who Leslie Mann is (think Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin and Big Daddy) she's side-splittlingly funny, charming and to boot, she has perfectly taught skin. Yesterday, she was in London at a question and answer session at BAFTA and I just loved the colour of her strawberry blonde hair. It's a soft shade of not too red and not too blonde that complements that gorgeous milky skin. Out of these three different hair colour below, which do you like the most on Leslie?

Do, Dump, or Marry? Adam Sandler

TresSugar — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 01:30:00 -0700

Funny person Adam Sandler is trying on a more serious role in Funny People, which comes out this weekend. From his stint on Saturday Night Live to his string of hit movies after, Adam has always had a well-received and one-of-a-kind brand of comedy. But I want to know - do you find him sexy?

Which Lipstick Colour Do You Like Best On Rashida Jones?

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Last night at the Los Angeles premiere of Funny People, Rashida Jones arrived wearing a badass chain necklace, her hair up and bold red lipstick. Unlike her former role on the TV show The Office where she typically didn't wear any lipstick at all, in real life, Rashida is often seen wearing bright colours. Just last week at the ESPY Awards she donned a white dress with contrasting iridescent magenta lips, and back in April, she wore a ruddy nudey-gloss to a Hollywood party. Out of these three shades, which lip look do you think looks the best?

Elle Pays Tribute to Cover Star Women in Hollywood

PopSugarUK — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:11:22 -0700

Elle magazine hosted its annual Women in Hollywood Tribute at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills last night, and gorgeous British women rubbed shoulders with their American counterparts. Cat Deeley kept it classic in an LBD and L'Oreal Paris Legend Award recipient Julie Andrews was elegant in her black floor-length frock. All five November cover stars were in attendance, with Renee Zellweger dazzling in bright red, Emily Blunt cute in a nude number and Katie Holmes daring in a sheer black outfit alongside fellow cover stars Julianne Moore and Zoe Saldana. John Krasinski joined his fiancée to her celebrate, and Emily told Elle:

"I feel the fear of the business creep under my skin in L.A. in a way that it doesn’t in England. It’s funny – I feel like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, unless you’re in Hollywood! It’s shameful how you have to look a certain way. Women are simply not allowed to grow old gracefully. That’s why I love playing character parts, because I’m not pigeonholed into trying to remain young forever to play the ingénue or romantic lead."

My girl FabUK wants to know do you love or hate Emily's look?
