Jennifer Lawrence Admits To Being The Unpopular Girl In Middle School

via glooce

The ubiquitous Jennifer Lawrence is on everyone's BFF wish-list nowadays, but turns out that wasn't always the case. The 22-year-old actress revealed to The Sun that she was bullied throughout her childhood, something that built her character and made her who she is today.

"I changed schools a lot when I was in elementary school because some girls were mean," Lawrence told The Sun. "They were less mean in middle school, because I was doing all right, although this one girl gave me invitations to hand out to her birthday party that I wasn't invited to."

But a Jennifer Lawrence story wouldn't be complete without a Jennifer Lawrence twist: "I just hocked a loogie on them and threw them in the trash can," she added. "Don't worry about the bitches. That could be a good motto, because you come across people like that throughout your life."

Lawrence also opened up about her new, slightly more grown-up status. "As for being a sex symbol, I don't think of myself as sexy and, obviously, it's not true," she said. "I'm going to try to push that out of my mind because it makes me queasy."

And if she is perceived as such, you can't chalk it up to trying. "The other day I had pizza for breakfast, buffalo wings for lunch and pizza for dinner," she told The Sun. "Probably my favourite food is a potato -- just a potato, because I like fries, boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes."

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.

Jennifer Lawrence has her eyes only for Bradley Cooper

via glooce

Jennifer Lawrence reportedly ignored advances from Leonardo DiCaprio recently as she “only had eyes” for Bradley Cooper.

Jennifer and Bradley appeared alongside each other in Silver Linings Playbook and their portrayal of a couple who are falling in love has caused speculation romance also blossomed off screen. Although they have both denied they are dating, their behaviour at the Oscars last month – where Jennifer was named best actress - set tongues wagging again.

“They keep saying they’re like brother and sister, but anyone who meets them can see that their chemistry is off the charts. Leo DiCaprio was clearly hitting on her, but she only had eyes for Bradley,” an insider told Heat magazine.

The pair also attended a pre-Oscars party together, where they appeared just as friendly. They spent so much time with each other at the event other guests presumed they were an item.

“They were deep in conversation and talking about how they wanted to take a break after the awards season. Everyone at the party was talking about their chemistry; they really looked like they were together, but trying their best to hide it,” the source added.

Bradley, 38, has previously insisted that he is too old to date 22-year-old Jennifer. She has also insisted they don’t see each other romantically, claiming their chemistry is so good on screen as they have none in everyday life. Their behaviour has led many to believe they aren’t being truthful though.

“When they’re at a party together, Brad constantly swoops around the room to check on Jen – it’s like he can’t stay away,” the source mused.

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.

Anna Friel accidentally emailed her dad pornographic pictures

via glooce

 

 

She is known for taking on some controversial – and revealing – acting roles.

But Anna Friel has admitted she has managed to shock her parents only once – by emailing her father some pornographic images.

The 36-year-old, who plays Jean Raymond, the wife of porn baron Paul Raymond, in a new film called The Look Of Love, made the embarrassing slip-up while she was researching her role.

‘I sent an email to my dad with some pictures of Jean Raymond,’ she said. ‘He called me afterwards and said, “I think you’re going a bit far on this one.”

‘I wondered what he meant and then I realised I’d sent him an email attachment of an actual porn shoot that Jean did – I mean, everything. I was mortified.’

Friel, who first hit the headlines aged 16 for filming a lesbian kiss scene in Brookside, admitted her parents were not usually surprised by anything she did. ‘I was brought up in a very open household – I’m very close to my papa and he’s not easily shocked.’

And the actress, who also appeared naked in BBC drama The Tribe in 1998 and on stage in Breakfast At Tiffany’s four years ago, revealed that she has no problems baring all.

‘I didn’t mind being naked,’ she said in an interview in April’s edition of Easy Living magazine, which is accompanied by photographs of her taken by rock star Bryan Adams.

‘I’ve always been OK with my body. We’ve all got t**s. I’ve also got b***s – I just don’t show them very often.’

Friel, who has a daughter from a previous relationship with actor David Thewlis, said juggling the demands of motherhood and acting was a challenge: ‘I’m 36. My friends are freezing their eggs. It’s much harder to be a woman these days.

'We’ve got to do everything – work, cope with the travelling and still be a mother.'

Rooney Mara talks abour her new movie, Side Effects

via glooce

 

The piercings, tattoos and jet-black hair are long gone, but there's still something of Lisbeth Salander about Rooney Mara.


The 27 year-old actress, who leapt to fame playing Stieg Larsson's fictional heroine in David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, arrives for our interview all in black. Shirt, jeans, jacket and boots – it's as if she's raided the wardrobe of the bisexual hacker Salander, or can't let go of the role that won her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress last year.

We're sitting in a Berlin hotel room – Mara sipping on a fruit tea, her hair wrapped up in a bun. "I feel that my life is really simple," she tells me, relief in her voice. "I'm still not recognised." That surely is about to change, with Mara starring in Side Effects, Steven Soderbergh's latest film (and possibly last, if he keeps his word about his retirement). A thriller set in the world of prescription medicines, Mara plays Emily Taylor, a New York spouse who is put on a new depression-battling wonder-drug, only to experience some deadly consequences.

Dealing with a very contemporary issue – the over-use of mood-stabilising drugs in western society – for Mara it felt all too familiar. Raised in New York, where her father is vice-president of player evaluation for NFL team the New York Giants, it was all around her. "Definitely growing up, I knew a lot of kids who were on prescription drugs, for sure," she says. "It's also really easy to get a prescription. It's really easy to fake needing one, because everything is online. You just look up all the symptoms. People always do it."

For Mara's first role since Dragon Tattoo – one that offers far more scope than playing the antisocial Salander did – she read the script the day she was nominated for the Oscars, and had 12 hours to decide. "It was really a no-brainer," she says. "I really wanted to work with Steven, first and foremost. I knew he was gonna be retiring and it was probably my last chance to do that." So is it true? Is the director of Traffic, Ocean's 11 and Erin Brockovich really on his way out? "He hasn't given us any reason not to believe [him]," she replies, with a shrug.

As confident as she is on screen, Mara is more insular in person. Despite a career that's seen her go from the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street to Fincher's The Social Network, she doesn't yet feel "comfortable" rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood elite. "I definitely feel like an outsider – put it that way. It can be a very isolating job. It's not like you always feel like you're in this big community.

"I think other people do feel that way, [those] who've been in the club longer, but I feel like an outsider still. I feel like I shouldn't be here."

Unsurprisingly, she felt exactly this way on Oscar night – competing with Michelle Williams, Viola Davis, Glenn Close and eventual winner Meryl Streep. "Even though I knew I wouldn't win, it was still very nerve-wracking. You're on display." She didn't go to the bathroom all night, perhaps wracked by the fear that she might – just might – win. "Because I feel like an outsider and don't feel like I deserve to be there yet, I would've been horrified to go up. I would've been so scared. Not that I wouldn't have been grateful – I just would've been terrified."

One of four children, Mara's older sister Kate is also an actress (and has just recently been cast in Fincher's Netflix-broadcast remake of the BBC parliamentary drama House of Cards), though the two are very different. "I think it comes easier to her. She's a little bit more open and friendly than I am. She's the likeable one." Still, after graduating from high school early, Mara joined the Travelling School, an open-learning environment that took her to South America for four months, across Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. "Getting out of the bubble of where I grew up and going out and seeing the world changed my life," she admits.

Having also established her own charity in Kenya, Faces of Kibera, underneath her rather shy persona, there is a steely determination to Mara, even if she can't quite adjust yet to how in demand she really is. She's just worked for Being John Malkovich director Spike Jonze, on his new future-set film, Her. And, having shot indie movie Ain't Them Bodies Saints with Ben Foster, she also spent two-and-a-half months with Terrence Malick on his as-yet-untitled new film, rumoured to be set to the backdrop of the Austin music scene. "It was the most unique experience I think I'll probably ever have in my career," she says. "I can safely say that."

There's also still talk that she will reprise her role of Lisbeth Salander for sequel, The Girl Who Played With Fire. "Hopefully they will do it," she nods. "It's definitely something I'd want to do." For the moment she's planning to take some time off; originally intending just to make Side Effects and the Malick movie, until the other two popped up, last year's furious workload has left her spent. "I hadn't planned on doing four films. I think that's a lot," she says. "I don't want people to get used to seeing me and annoyed by my face." There's little danger of that – at least for now.

Side Effects was named "Critics Pick" by the LA Times! And speaking of prescription med fraud, I knew this premed chick in college who had her mom forge a diary to get an adderall prescription. She asked me to proofread it for believability once.

Halle Berry Will bec back To X-Men

via glooce

As X-Men: Days of Future Past rolls toward production (insert Professor X pun here) there remains some big question marks about the cast. Director Bryan Singer has already established that this is a reunion film, bringing back multiple actors from the original trilogy, but there are some key names missing. Chief among them is Halle Berry. While Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore and Ellen Page are all set to return, there hasn't been any definitive news about whether the Oscar winning actress would be back as the mutant known as Storm. Today we still don't have anything definitive, but at least we're getting closer.

With The Call set to arrive in theaters soon Berry is currently doing press rounds and in an interview with Shadow and Act she revealed that there's a very good chance she will be back in her white wig for Days of Future Past. While the article contains no actual quotes, the site says she told him, that there are "a few details that are still being negotiated which she couldn't get into," but that she was well-aware that production is aiming to start in April. The impression that the interviewer got was positive, saying, "It's very possible that something could happen and that she won't be in it at all. But that's not a possibility that I got from her."

In addition to all of the aforementioned actors, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult and Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence are set to reprise their respective roles from X-Men: First Class. For all the latest updates on the film, be sure to head over to our Blend Film Database. - See more at:

Kim Cattrall to get achievement award from Canadian Screen Awards

via glooce

 

TORONTO – “Sex and the City” star Kim Cattrall is being recognized for her body of work.

The actress will receive a special prize for “outstanding artistic contribution to film and television” at the inaugural Canadian Screen Awards.

The award recognizes “a remarkable person who has made their mark on the film and television industry.”

Academy head Helga Stephenson says Cattrall “is a fabulously successful Canadian performer who proudly embraces both sides of the border.”

The Canadian-raised actress is best known for starring as lusty singleton Samantha in the HBO series “Sex and the City” and its spinoff movies. She also appeared in the PBS mini-series “Any Human Heart,” Roman Polanski’s “The Ghost Writer” and the 1987 comedy “Mannequin.”

Cattrall was to receive the prize at an industry gala tonight honouring select categories in TV drama, comedy, variety and children’s programming.

The top prizes at the Canadian Screen Awards will be broadcast Sunday on CBC-TV. The bash replaces the previous Genie and Gemini awards, which separately honoured the best in homegrown film and television.

This fall, Cattrall will star with Don McKellar and Bob Martin in an adaptation of the BBC2 series “Sensitive Skin.” Shooting is expected to take place in Toronto in September.

Mila Kunis in Marie Claire UK April 2013

via glooce

With her highly anticipated film "Oz The Great and Powerful" set to hit theaters next week (March 8), Mila Kunis garnered herself some added exposure by covering the April 2013 issue of Marie Claire UK.

Looking absolutely enchanting in white for the Craig McDean-shot front page, the 29-year-old actress opened up about everything from "That 70's Show" to her hectic Hollywood life.

During the interview, the "Black Swan" beauty chatted about moving on from television, and said, "When '70s ended I went on a mission to prove everybody wrong. I read for movies I would never do. I auditioned for everything, just to show I could do it. I needed to prove I was capable of doing things other than—forget comedy—other than a TV show."

She's definitely proved herself in Hollywood, and Mila accepts the changes that come with more esteem, explaining, "To say my life hasn't changed would be a lie. It has changed, I don't really know how. I can't complain, nor am I complaining, but I can't leave my house as freely as I used to. But I've also traveled a lot for work, so that's changed. I have been very lucky."

Although she's extremely talented and successful, the brunette beauty wants more from life. "I don't think I can do three-movies-a-year thing. It's too much. There comes a point in your life where you want to be... home."

"I want to explore other parts of this industry to see what aspects of it I can get myself into, so that I can.. work out of home maybe? Like producing. Then I can have, like, a life, in one location," she adds.

Lindsay Lohan: "She's finally made a decision to turn her life around," says source

via glooce

Lindsay Lohan's lawyer has made an unexpected move.

Mark Heller, the attorney who took over representing LiLo in her ongoing probation violation case, filed a legal motion on Friday to put the case on a "slow track" in order to give the troubled actress time.

According to the court documents, Heller argues that there should be a "continuance" on the case because it will "enable the Defendant who is pursuing and participating in certain activities which will benefit her and afford her more of an opportunity to be a productive and responsible person and contributor to society."

A source tells E! News that the activities proposed will include "various public service and various charitable efforts."

"She's finally made a decision to turn her life around," the source added.

The documents continue to state that, "the Defendant has made a commitment to herself to elevate her life and participate in activities which will advance her desire to lead a model life."

The motion also seeks to dismiss charges made against Lohan after police claimed she lied about who was driving her Porsche when she was involved in a Santa Monica car crash back in June, claiming specific procedural irregularities in the ways authorities responded to the incident.

It sure hasn't been a good day for Lohan. Earlier today, the embattled Liz & Dick star for hit with a $56,000 tax lien for 2011.

Kristen Stewart Explains Foot Injury to Anne Hathaway

Kristen Stewart Explains Crutches, Foot Injury to Anne Hathaway Backstage at Oscars





Kristen Stewart had good reason to be at least little Les Miserables at Sunday's Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The Twilight actress, 22, attended the Academy Awards sans love Robert Pattinson (in Australia filming) but with one very noticeable accessory: Crutches. Stewart went without that aid when she presented an award with Daniel Radcliffe -- limping a bit painfully toward the podium.

According to the Associated Press, the blockbuster actress encountered another A-list actress backstage before that presentation-- Anne Hathaway, immediately after her Best Supporting Actress victory -- and finally dispelled the mystery behind her unexplained injury.


"Oh no!" the Prada-clad Les Miserables star, 31, exclaimed in sympathy, seeing Stewart's crutch.

"I know, I'm an idiot," Stewart (stunning in a Reem Acra gown, Jimmy Choo heels and Fred Leighton jewelry) replied. "But congratulations!" she said, eyeing Hathaway's hard-earned Oscar.

"Please tell me you're going on stage with those [crutches]," Hathaway said, the AP reports. "Nope," Stewart replied. "I'm gonna hobble."

Quipped the "I Dreamed a Dream" singer: "Well, break a leg . . . Oops!" Stewart then explained that she cut her foot recently after stepping on glass. "I just hope [the wound] doesn't open up right now."

Indeed, Stewart's glam squad told Us Weekly more about the young star's injury. "She had sliced her foot and everyone was worrying about would she wear heels or flats or one heel, crutches or no crutches," manicurist Ashlie Johnson told Us. "She tried so many options, she was really a trouper."

"Kristen was nervous about her crutches so having her friends around playing music was just what she needed," hairstylist Danilo said. "We all were trying to make her feel better and her friends were trying to tell her she'd be fine, she has insecurities about being in front of people so today was even tougher."

Jennifer Lawrence Is Not Thirsty For Oscars

via glooce

She's hotly tipped to grab her first Oscar when the Academy Awards get underway in Hollywood this weekend, but Jennifer Lawrence admits she won't be losing any sleep if someone else steals her thunder.

The 22-year old actress is one of the Best Actress nominations for her role as Tiffany Maxwell in recent box office hit 'Silver Linings Playbook,' but while she remains the bookies favourite to claim the award at the 85th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday (Feb 24) Jennifer is doing her best to put thoughts of winning to one side.

“I try not to (think about winning),” she told the Daily Mirror. “For my career, I hope, knock on wood, that it happens, but I don't have a personal interest in it. I'm not going to cry myself to sleep if it doesn't happen, I'm still going to be happy. I'm still going to have my friends and I will be fine. It's just, will I get promoted or not?”

While she plays a risqué former sex-addict in 'Silver Linings,' Jennifer admits that off-screen she has a life-long fear of breaking the rules.

“I've had a severe case of anxiety since I was young about getting in trouble,” she said. “I hate getting in trouble and I hate breaking rules. I try to live my life doing what I think is the best thing to do in the situation. So then something goes wrong and I end up apologizing.”

The young actress also admitted that co-star Bradley Cooper gave her some much needed advice about the perils of fame when they first met.

“He was the one who told me I couldn't shop in Whole Foods and I tested it and he was totally right,” she said. “The paparazzi are at every Whole Foods.

"It's fine, I have friends to get my groceries.”

via glooce

 

She's won big at the Golden Globes and now the BAFTAs, but will Anne Hathaway take home an Oscar? 

Hathaway – who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Les Misérables – isn't spending too much time worrying about it. 

Stay in the know about Anne Hathaway by subscribing now.

"Whatever happens in two weeks, happens. It won't be the worst thing that happens to me if I don't win, and with my husband by my side it won't be the best thing either. So I am feeling very good about whatever," the actress, 30, told reporters backstage after nabbing a best supporting actress statue at Sunday's British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards in London.

"I really have to say that getting to do the work, getting to play the character with this cast and to have this opportunity, it is the most sublime experience. I don't know how I got so lucky. ... So I don't think ahead – I am just happy to be in the conversation in two weeks' time," she said. 

But should she win, Hathaway has been imagining where to keep her statue. 

"I kind of have this fantasy – because this year that I have been lucky enough to receive a few pieces of hardware – that I'm going to get a tool shed and keep it in my garage so that it opens to some music. But for now I am just going to keep it in my kitchen," she said.

While she's earned awards and received critical acclaim for her portrayal of Fantine, she says the best thing to come of filming the musical epic was meeting costar Russell Crowe. 

"The biggest surprise of the whole experience was what a sweetie pie Russell Crowe was. The whole cast would kind of gather around his place and we would just sing for hours. We all bonded that way. He has become a dear, dear friend," she said, "and I feel very blessed to have him in our life."

Dakota Fanning Will Share 'Every Secret Thing' With Elizabeth Banks & Diane Lane

via glooce

 

Dakota Fanning seems determined to prove to audiences she's all grown up. She apparently gets quite naked in "Very Good Girls" which just premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and not too long ago she signed on to play Kevin Kline's teenage lover in "The Last Of Robin Hood." Now she's set for a crime drama that will once again showcase a different side of the actress who is quickly putting together a diverse slate.

Fanning has joined "Every Secret Thing" starring Elizabeth Banks and Diane Lane, with "West Of Memphis" helmer Amy Berg slated to direct. Based on the stand-alone book by author Laura Lippmann (of the popular Tess Monaghan series), the story follows two 11-year-old girls who are convicted of murdering a baby and are incarcerated until they turn 18. Upon their release, children start to go missing; as the police turn their attention to the duo, the mystery surrounding the original murder comes back to light. Fanning and Danielle Macdonald will play the girls, with Lane as one of their mothers, and Banks as a cop who is involved in the case both professionally and emotionally.

Sounds like some gritty stuff, and quite promising too. We should also add that Nicole Holofcener ("Please Give," "Lovely & Amazing") wrote the script and Frances McDormand is one of the producers. So for those looking for more women taking on movie gigs, here's one written, produced and directed by a very talented team with a solid central cast. Production begins at the end of March.
