Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie: Critics' Must-See Couple?

8 January 2009 8:53 PM, PST | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie didn't win any awards tonight, but they were the center of the universe inside the Critics' Choice Awards. Just like last year, every time there was a commercial break, it seemed like everyone stood up to gawk at Hollywood's shiniest golden couple. Of course, they weren't left alone for even a nanosecond. During a break, Jolie got a double kiss from director Ron Howard. Then Jolie and Pitt huddled with Mickey Rourke and Rourke's Wrestler director, Darren Aronofsky. While Jolie chatted with one of the many suits in the room, Pitt was introduced to this year's new It girl, Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto. If there's anyone...

Surprise! The People Chose 'The Dark Knight'

8 January 2009 3:32 PM, PST | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

It's not really a surprise, but our beloved The Dark Knight has grabbed the top honor at the 35th People's Choice Awards. If there was any award the film was sure to get, that's the one I'd pick. Aside from Favorite Movie, the film also scored a win in the Favorite Action Movie category, and an acting nod for Christian Bale and Heath Ledger. That's right -- one prize, Favorite On-Screen Match-Up. (Chemistry, baby!) Plus, a win for Favorite Cast and one more for Bale as Favorite Superhero -- sorry Tony Stark.

With all the love and press, however, the Dark Knight wasn't able to sweep the ground out from under Will Smith, who picked up both Favorite Male movie Star and Favorite Male Action Star. And outside the realm of irresistible geek fare, Wall-e nabbed Favorite Family Movie, The Secret Life of Bees scored Favorite Movie Drama and Independent Movie (over Zachary?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: No Secret Wedding!

8 January 2009 2:45 PM, PST | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have not tied the knot. Speculation about secret nuptials started Tuesday when Taraji P. Henson, who stars as Queenie opposite Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, referred to her costar as Jolie's "husband" during an interview at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. But Henson tells me we shouldn't look too deeply into the husband remark because... "It was a slip," Henson explained to me earlier today at In Style and the Diamond Information Center's Red Carpet Ready luncheon and fashion show. "I mean, they have a family, they live together. What is married really? It's like they are married." Henson joked that...

Feature: The Curious Cameography of Matt Damon

8 January 2009 1:13 PM, PST | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

By Stephen Saito

When Stanislavsky decreed, "there are no small parts, only small actors," Matt Damon was listening. In a career that started with one line in "Mystic Pizza," Damon has risen to the ranks of the A-list. Yet as Damon's star has gotten bigger, the roles have gotten smaller -- most recently, the "Bourne" star reaffirmed his status as king of cameos with his brief appearance in "Che: Part II," in which he plays Father Schwartz, a German priest fluent in Spanish who attempts to negotiate with rebel forces in Bolivia, with screen time of less than a minute. Though his finest pint-sized performance likely went down on the small screen last year in Sarah Silverman's serenade "I'm Fucking Matt Damon," no one has done more random onscreen favors for friends than Damon, who has been around the world more than Jason Bourne and worn crazier get-ups than

The People Choose Mostly Garbage from 2008

8 January 2009 12:15 PM, PST | From newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news

The People’s Choice Awards sounds like a good idea in theory.  Let the people decide what was the best of the year, not the stuffy Academy who would recognize craftsmanship and talent.  Let the same people vote who actually sit around and watch this terrible, fourth-tier telecast.  Makes total sense.

But every year the people choose garbage, glamorously hosted by one of America’s finest thespians, Queen Latifah.  Last year the favorite movie was Pirates of the Caribbean 3.  This year, the winner doesn’t make me lose complete faith in humanity.  The Dark Knight won “Favorite Movie” as one of five awards it took home to decorate the bathroom.

My personal favorite categories are “Favorite Leading Man” and “Favorite Male Movie Star.”  Strangely enough, the same person didn’t win both awards.  Will Smith and Brad Pitt split the “oh, hey, I recognize that guy” votes.

In the female category,

Will Smith was a double winner, nabbing Favorite Male Movie Star and Favorite Male Action Star, while Reese Witherspoon was named Favorite Female Movie Star.

Ellen DeGeneres presented the first award of the night, filling in for Kate Hudson whom, she said, was stuck in traffic and "40 minutes away." DeGeneres quipped,

John Mayer Turns Jennifer Aniston's Bad Poetry into an Even Worse Song

8 January 2009 6:10 AM, PST | From www.actressarchives.com | See recent Actress Archives news

While the world is busy buzzing about Brad Pitt quashing the Jennifer Aniston/Angelina Jolie feud, John Mayer was hard at work writing more bad music about his girlfriend.Just in case Aniston and Mayer's latest in-your-face romantic moves--such as their "impromptu" strolls through the New York cold where they giggle and smell each other's hair--haven't been enough to make you want to hurl, we've got some news that will test even the strongest of stomachs. It's been reported that Mayer has turned a love poem Aniston wrote for him into a song (which he probably plays for her after they have sex and lie in bed stroking each other's hair until ...

Brad Pitt's Almost Anonymous, But Not Quite

8 January 2009 6:00 AM, PST | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news

Brad Pitt who thankfully grew his mustache into a full goatee, was spotted riding around La yesterday on one of his many motorcycles. In his W Magazine cover interview, Brad refers to the time when he's on his bikes as his most anonymous calling himself, “just another a--hole on the streets,” but it was his comments about Angelina and Jennifer that caught everyone's attention yesterday. He played it well, though of course there's a million ways to dissect his words, so we'll see whether he and Angelina have any uncomfortable moments sprung on them at tonight's Critics' Choice Awards or Sunday's Golden Globes. Just think, one year ago at tonight's awards we started to speculate about whether or not Angelina was pregnant and today's another big one - it's Zahara's 4th Birthday! Hopefully she gets some good celebrating in before mom and dad are off to hit the red carpet this evening.

Check Out More On Brad 'Checking In'

7 January 2009 10:10 PM, PST | From NYPost.com | See recent New York Post news

Now, about Brad Pitt's story in Feb ruary's W magazine. He says he and Jennifer Aniston "still check in with one another." Ok by me. Not that any of the three principals - including Angelina - care if it's okay by me but it is okay by me because what you should know is, they're all nice people. Brad's always been pleasant, friendly, no airs. Jennifer is invariably sweet, obliging, easy to talk to. And whenever I've seen Angelina she's been warm, outgoing, very undiva-ish.

But ears that have lain close to

Brad Pitt Finds Taking Angelina Jolie's Breastfeeding Pictures Sexy

7 January 2009 10:05 PM, PST | From icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news

Brad Pitt found taking photographs of partner Angelina Jolie breastfeeding their twins "sexy." The 45-year-old actor loved being behind the camera while the 33-year-old actress fed their children Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, admitting he also took some private pictures of Angelina during the shoot.

He told W magazine: "We have fun working together - these things bring you closer. And let me tell you, it's really sexy to see your loved one through the lens. I went much further than the breastfeeding shot. I didn't show those."

Angelina recently revealed she found it difficult to breastfeed both her twins because she couldn't hold them.

She said: "You think, 'Ah, if anybody can do that, I can do that.' There's this football hold - it's a lot harder than it looks in the books. I did that a few times. I would take turns. It just takes a long time.

‘Tr2n’ Gains Lead Actor, Loses Idiotic Numeral

7 January 2009 4:44 PM, PST | From MovieBlog.Ugo.com | See recent Ugo MovieBlog news

This just in.  The male lead in Tron will be Garrett Hedlund.  Wait, what?  Didn’t we just report that both Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner will be back reprising their roles of Flynn (and possibly Clu) and Alan One/Tron?  And that the newfangled technology from Benjamin Button would help that become a reality? Yes we did, but that never meant that they would be the lead of the film.  Hell, someone has got to make out with Olivia Wilde and neither of those dudes is gonna get that lucky. The word on the street today is that Garrett Hedlund, from Friday Night Lights, Georgia Rule, Eragon and Troy (he played Patroclus, Brad Pitt’s boy-crush) will get sucked into the McP to fight off angry computer matrices with frisbees (I so effing love Tron!) We’re hardly die hard Garret Hedlund fans (we admit, we had to look
