2009 Sundance Spotlight: Adam, Humpday, I Love You Phillip Morris

BuzzSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:30:28 -0800

While I won't be heading to the 2009 Sundance Film Festival this year, I will be sorting through the humongous pile of festival entries to share with you some of the films I think look most promising. From quirky documentaries (like Chris Rock's) to talented young filmmaker debuts to a potential runaway hit, Sundance is filled with entertainment possibilities. Here are today's selections:

Adam
Boy, do I love me some Hugh Dancy and I've been waiting for this actor to land a juicy, leading role. Well, my prayers have been answered with Adam, in which he stars as a fellow who's a little bit different. The movie explores the idea that "truly reaching another person means bravely stretching into discomfiting territory - and the shake-up can be liberating." Dancy's co-stars include Damages's Rose Byrne, as well as Frankie Faison, Peter Gallagher, Amy Irving, and Mark Linn-Baker. I can't wait to see this one!

For two others, including that jail movie with Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor, just read more.

Humpday
The director of this movie, Lynn Shelton, describes her feature-length film premiering at Sundance this year as "two dudes attempting to out-dude each other by attempting to do each other." This movie, which aims to "unearth the biggest ironies in the male ego," is rather timely as Brody Jenner and his crew currently show up once a week to unwittingly demonstrate those ironies in Bromance. Anyway. At its essence, this is the kind of project that independent film festivals are made for: It doesn't star anyone you've heard of and the director is someone who's dabbled in film and art for a while. It looks really quirky and funny - click here to check out a clip.

I Love You Phillip Morris
This movie stars Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor as lovers and comes from two directors: Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. It's a "tale of a spectacularly charismatic and resourceful con-man's journey from small-town cop to flamboyant white-collar criminal." I have high hopes for this offbeat flick from the same minds behind Bad Santa, and I think it's cool that Jim Carrey is stretching a bit as an actor. The movie's not in competition but will premiere at Sundance this year. Here's a clip:

Celebs Head to Vegas for a Fight

Molly — Mon, 07 May 2007 08:25:00 -0700

If there was ever a weekend with a celebration for everyone, this was it. Cinco de Mayo, the Kentucky Derby, the De la Hoya/Mayweather Fight -- choose your poison. Seen here are the celebrities who went for the third option and attended the big fight in Vegas on Saturday night. As usual Jim and Jenny had fabulous hair, while Matthew's could use a trim. Also, for those of you who actually heard the brief rumor last week that Jay-Z was involved in a plane crash, he's obviously fine. Jennifer was especially rapt, I assume, because Marc performed the national anthem before the (surprisingly) exciting, and very close, fight.

Twilight Leads the People's Choice Awards Nominations

BuzzSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:43:12 -0800

The 36th annual People's Choice Awards nominees are here, and last year's Twilight is leading the charge! American Idol's Kris Allen was among the announcers this morning for the nominees, which also include lots of nods for The Proposal - but of course, everyone's favorite bloodsucking love story landed in many categories, including favorite on-screen movie team.

Why didn't they look to 2009's New Moon? Because last year's nominations debuted before the first movie in the Twilight saga.

Jim, Jenny, Ben, Ashton and Mariah Smile at Sundance

PopSugar — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 07:00:21 -0800

The Sundance Film Festival is officially in full swing and big names flocked to Park City to promote their movies. Ben Affleck stopped on his way to DC for "Reporter," which he serves as executive producer. Jim Carrey had his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy to help support his role where Ewan McGregor is his boyfriend in I Love You Philip Morris. Ashton was there to promote his gigolo film, Spread, with his loyal wife Demi by his side. Funny ladies Amy Poehler, Parker Posey and Rachel Dratch posed for a portrait picture, which is a lot more tame than their film Spring Breakdown. Festival favorites like Michael Cera, Zooey Deschanel, and Sam Rockwell all showed off their films while Paris Hilton made sure to hit all the parties. Mariah continues to look elated in every photo with Nick but her movie "Push" is apparently pretty dramatic. Even Anna Wintour hit the festival this year to promote her debut in a The September Issue. The festival is just getting started so expect many more big names all week long posing in cute portrait shots, walking red carpets and attending parties.

To see tons more pictures including new dad Gael Garcia Bernal, Kevin Bacon, Emily Blunt, Susan Sarandon, Pierce Brosnan and many, many more just read more.

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Sweetpeabrina

GiggleSugar — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 15:00:00 -0700

How can you not love someone whose many mottos includes, "Yay! Go me!" I think we have a few things to learn from Sweetpeabrina, who is an actual school teacher, so let the schooling begin!

GS: What’s your motto?
SPB: I have a couple. “In vino veritas.” Mainly because I have this bad habit of drinking wine (mmm... Pinot Noir) and telling people what I truly think. “A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a woman perfected without trials“ was my mantra that helped me get through my divorce to Number 1 Douchebag. And the one that I say at least twice a day, “Yay! Go me!”

GS: Where are you from?
SPB: Atlanta, GA – I love it here. I’ll always be a southern girl at heart. Lately I’ve been aching to get out! I know the grass is always greener (or scorched, in this case) on the other side, but my BFF is in San Diego and my brother is in San Francisco. I need to be in California. My parents are from St. Croix and St. Thomas, USVI, so I also like to claim that as home even though I wasn’t born there.

GS: What do you do?
SPB: I’m a teacher-8th grade, Physical Science. Most people look at me like I’m insane when I say that I really like teaching 13 and 14-year-olds. They are soooo melodramatic. Everything is such a big deal to them. They have this strange sense of humor that makes me laugh. One of my coworkers and I love to find their notes that they write to each other. If we can find one of those notebooks that they write in then pass back and forth, it makes our day. Ohh! My 7th period has me hooked on Potter Puppet Pals.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
SPB: My sense of humor is very sophomoric. I’m really silly and goofy. Much to the amusement of my friends, when I get really excited about something funny and try to tell them about it, I tend to get my words mixed up and out of order. I think that came from when I had my tongue pierced. My brain moves too fast for my mouth.

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
SPB: Cute Alert: French Bulldog Pups! I melt every time I see this! I love the WTFs and the Douchebag posts! And Miss Teen South Carolina. Oh! And the Hiccupping Baby Porcupine was dang cute, too.

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and funny woman?
SPB: I’d invite Dane Cook over any night of the week. I’m not sure if you can count Drew Barrymore, but she is funny and hot.

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
SPB: I really like stand up comedians. This will probably change but in the men category I love Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Jim Carey, Ron White, George Lopez, and Mitch Fatel (because he likes panties). For the ladies, I like Tammy Pescatelli (because she has class), Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, Kathy Griffin, Ellen DeGeneres.

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time?
SPB: It’s a tie between Office Space and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. If you haven’t seen either of them, you must rent them this weekend. Have you seen my stapler?

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
SPB: Definitely Clueless minus the ditziness and the falling in love with my ex-stepbrother part. I don’t have a stepbrother.

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
SPB: When I was little, I looked just like Rudy Huxtable! Now, not so much. I like to imagine I look like Halle Berry, but that’s only extreme wishful thinking!

SPB Free-for-all: I think I’m in danger of becoming addicted to the internet and books. I spend my free time surfing and reading. I’m addicted to HyperSugar. I’m absolutely nuts for LOL Cats. Maybe it’s because I really like my own cat, Gadget, who is curled up next to me right now. I also read a lot. I go through about two books a week, which totally sucks because books can get expensive. I could go to the library but bookstores are so much more fun. I’m totally into Monopoly. I think people’s true colors come out when they play Monopoly. The sweetest person will cuss you out when they land on your properties with hotels. Um.. there’s so much more to add but I’ll stop here. Yay! Go me!

Thanks, Sweetpeabrina!

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Flutterpie

GiggleSugar — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 15:00:00 -0700

Flutterpie has been such a loyal fan to GiggleSugar. It was really great to get to know her through this interview, and I loved her "free for all"! Very thoughtful!

GS: What’s your motto?
FP: It's not really a motto as much as it is a poem. It's called "Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." It talks about everything from sharing to looking both ways before you cross the street to how everyone should take a nap.

GS: Where are you from?
FP: I'm a California girl, except I'm not orange.

GS: What do you do?
FP: I am a field representative for Boost Mobile. I went to fashion school and somehow ended up in telecommunications, go figure.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
FP: Sarcastic, a lot of people don't know whether to take me seriously or not. I tell them if you have to choose, go with not taking me seriously.

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
FP: I love the videos that have clips from tv. I don't get to watch it much so when you post something funny, you're saving me the time of finding the remote. I love the Family Guy clips and Fire Marshall Bill with Jim Carrey.

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and funny woman?
FP: You know, I would say Dane Cook is cute but I don't really find him funny. Sarah Silverman is cute until she opens her mouth and starts spewing profanities. Isn't there some kind law of physics that says you can't be movie star cute and movie star funny because then the world is off balance?

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
FP: Jay Mohr is hilarious live, although I'm not sure he does stand up anymore. Janeane Garofalo is another one of my favorites, but I'm not sure she does stand up anymore either.

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time?
FP: Glitter with Mariah Carey, I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
FP: Mean Girls, I truly believe life is just a big high school that we are all trying to fit into.

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
FP: I had a guy call me Drew Barrymore for a whole semester in college. But I think he was just trying to get down my pants.

Flutterpie Free For All: I wasted a lot of time not having a voice. When I realized that it was okay to be smart and to be funny, it was like a whole new world opened up to me. When I started accepting myself for who I was, my whole life changed. When I stopped counting calories and obsessively working out, I suddenly was free to live my life and do the things that I enjoyed, which was not being at the gym but playing outside. It's okay to be the one who laughs the loudest or the one who knows the answer. It's okay to eat some cake because it tastes good. When I sat back and assessed all those things, I realized that life really is good.

Thanks, Flutterpie!

Jenny's Happy Birthday Halloween Week

PopSugar — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 08:23:00 -0800

Here's some leftover Halloween pics of Jenny McCarthy partying at The Scream and Shout Halloween bash at Pure in Las Vegas on Tuesday night. Jenny turned 34 yesterday and for a mother she sure looks great. Let's hope her son was trick or treating elsewhere. Hopefully boyfriend Jim Carey was nearby to fend off other interested suitors! We have not seen them together in a little while but we hope they resurface again soon. Who would have thought an MTV Singled Out host would end up so successful?

Jim Carrey teaming up with Stiller?

PopSugar — Wed, 31 Aug 2005 10:41:07 -0700

Jim Carrey teaming up with Stiller?
They are in early talks to co-star in Used Guys which will be directed by Jay Roach. It won't be the first time they team up. Does anyone remember Ben Stiller directing Carey in The Cable Guy. Hopefully Used Guys will be better.
