GIrls Star Lena Dunham is standing up against Racism

via glooce

Lena Dunham is urging her fellow "Obies" to stick together as her alma mater in Ohio wrestles with reports of racism. The creator and star of HBO's "Girls" wrote on her Twitter account Monday after learning about racist graffiti at famously liberal Oberlin College.

The school about 30 miles from Cleveland was among the first to admit blacks. And the city of Oberlin was a stop on the Underground Railroad that aided escaped slaves. Dunham tweeted: "Hey Obies, remember the beautiful, inclusive and downright revolutionary history of the place you call home. Protect each other."

Racist and anti-Semitic messages have been found on campus, and classes were cancelled Monday after a report of someone wearing a Klan-type hooded robe.

"Girls" features several characters who met while attending Oberlin.

Rachel Weisz on her Broadway Debut: 'It's Confirmed'

via glooce

Rumors have been swirling that Oscar winner Rachel Weisz could make her Broadway debut alongside her Bond star husband Daniel Craig in a Broadway production of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal. During a recent appearance on the U.K. morning show Daybreak, Weisz spilled the beans!

“I am going to do a play on Broadway,” Weisz told host Aled Jones. “It’s confirmed. I’ve never done Broadway [so I’m] very excited. [Broadway has] this mythical shine about it.” Although Weisz didn’t confirm that the play she’d be starring in would indeed be Betrayal, it’s safe to say a revival of Pinter’s acclaimed 1978 play is the project she’s alluding to. No word yet on if Craig is definitely attached to the project as well.As previously speculated, Mike Nichols (Death of a Salesman) is in talks to direct.

Telling a story in reverse chronology, Betrayal follows Robert (presumably Craig), whose wife, Emma (presumably Weisz), is having an affair with his friend Jerry, a literary agent.

Weisz starred in the West End production of A Streetcar Named Desire. She earned the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Tessa Quayle in The Constant Gardener. Additionally, Weisz’s film credits include The Lovely Bones, The Fountain, Constantine, About a Boy, The Bourne Legacy and The Mummy.

Craig appeared on Broadway in A Steady Rain. Best known as James Bond in Skyfall, Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale, his additional film credits include Defiance, The Golden Compass, The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo, Munich, Layer Cake and Road to Perdition.

Jennifer Lawrence Falls on Steps as She Wins Best Actress Oscar

12:03 am - 02/25/2013 

And just like that, Jennifer Lawrence is immortalized -- goofily! -- in Oscar history. The 22-year-old star won the Best Actress Academy Award inside the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on Feb. 24. Ascending the Oscars stage in a stunning pale Dior Haute Couture gown, Lawrence suffered every actress' nightmare: She face-planted! Tripping on her sizable frock, the blonde fell down on the steps, and was quickly helped up.

Getting a standing ovation from some in the crowd, Lawrence quickly acknowledged the pratfall. "You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell -- it's really embarrassing. This is nuts!"

Accepting her Oscar from The Artist's Jean Dujardin, Lawrence then acknowledged her competition: Zero Dark Thirty's Jessica Chastain, The Impossible's Naomi Watts, Amour's Emmanuelle Riva, and Beasts of the Southern Wild's Quvenzhane Wallis. "You were so magnificent, and it's been so amazing getting to know you," Lawrence said, "You've made this experience unforgettable."

Thanking her family and other colleagues, she then wished a happy birthday to French actress Riva, whose 86th birthday fell on Oscar Sunday.

Once again, Time has published their list with the Oscar 2013 Great Performances and Jessica is, of course, one of them. For this year’s Great Performances portfolio, TIME asked fashion photographer Paola Kudacki to take portraits of 11 actors, all of whom appeared in 2012 films that captured key moments in history, and several of whom portrayed real-life people.

Jessica Chastain – Performance: Maya in Zero Dark Thirty (Oscar nomination, Best Actress)
“Because we’re playing characters that really exist, it was important to show the utmost respect when portraying them,” says Chastain, who has never met the real-life inspiration for Maya, the CIA tracker who hunts bin Laden.

Megan Fox in Brazilian Beer Brahma Commercial

via glooce

Well, it's official: Megan Fox makes beer look hot.

The stunning actress is starring in a new commercial for the Brazilian brand Brahma, serving as a spokeswoman for the beverage and promoting the beer in an, er, interesting ad campaign. 

Of course, the former Transformers star makes sipping on a brewski look sexy in short-shorts and a tiny yellow tank (without any beer belly or baby weight in sight)

In the commercial—which is filmed entirely in Portuguese with the exception of Fox's one line— the brunette beauty winks seductively at the camera, pretends to take off her clothes and jumps around, clearly elated to be drinking the lager. Oh, and she also reveals a secret identity or two underneath it all.

Brian Austin Green's other half joins Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro in promoting the product ahead of Rio's famous Carnival festival. Check out the full commercial or Brahma beer and then hit the comments with your thoughts!

And if you're confused? Just remember, sex sells.

Guy talking: During Carnival, you can be whoever you want to be.
Guy talking: Like Peter that is an engineer, but in Carnival, he is The Chairman.
Guy talking: Or you can be a Brahma truck and bump into Megan Fox.
Guy talking: But beware, because Megan Fox can actually be Gus.
Guy talking: (laughing) This is Carnival my friend, where everyone can be who they want.
Megan Fox: Including me.
Voice Over: Imagine Carnival. Brahma. Imagine the party.

Chloe Moretz hits the pages of LOVE magazine #9

via glooce

 

In anticipation of her upcoming film "Carrie," Chloe Moretz scored herself a feature in the Spring/Summer 2013 issue of LOVE Magazine .

The 15-year-old actress looked absolutely stunning for the artsy Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot spread while dishing to the mag about everything from the horror remake to staying fit.

On staying in shape:
"I'm conscious of what I eat and try to eat what I want, but if it's too rich then I change my choices the rest of the day. I don't really believe in depriving myself - I love food too much. I work out too to keep fit. I think a normal, 'real' body is the most beautiful thing in the world. Anyone can be board skinny if they want to deprive themselves. I just personally don't like that look."

On the future:
"I love my life. I love my family, I love my friends and I love my pets. I am very, very blessed. The future excites me sooooo much! I've got a lot more living to do."

On remaking "Carrie":
"There was such a maternal, female aspect to it. This is a movie that deals with really dark but also very female aspects of life. It's a very extreme mother/daughter relationship. For a man to try and interpret what that was like as a 16-year-old? Nah. Not the same thing. To have an actual female directing you and being opposite on the screen sirens of our day, she allowed me to feel safe to go to such a dark places with her because this is the most vulnerable I've ever been. Which is scary."
