Cara Delevingne acted like a real animal to get the role of interplanetary special-ops agent Laureline in Luc Besson’s eye-candy spectacular Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
If you’re expecting a story about a spoiled model-turned-actor throwing a tantrum to get a super-fun part in one of the summer’s biggest sci-fi films, you’re going to be disappointed. But the real story’s pretty good too.
It’s about Delevingne’s unconventional audition with the visionary French director Besson (Leon: The Professional, The Fifth Element), who was finally set to make a big-screen version of his favourite childhood comic book, Valérian and Laureline, by French writer Pierre Christin.

How has Heidi Klum not been on Dancing With the Stars?
On Monday's Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, the America's Got Talent judge competed with Fallon in a dance battle -- and won by a landslide!
First up, Klum nailed the "invisible hula hoop" move, while the late-night host struggled with "fork in the garbage disposal" dance. Up next, the 43-year-old supermodel had to attempt a "speed bowling" performance, which, again, she slayed.

"We started with no host. Then one of us got a phone call saying Tyra Banks was interested. So I told her, 'Come over to the house tomorrow,'" he recalled.

Netflix’s smash hit new series “Stranger Things” co-stars Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, the mysterious, telekinetic girl who appears in the town of Hawkins, Indiana just as Will Byers disappears. In the wake of “Stranger Things'” success, Brown has garnered a great deal of fame for her performance and has frequently been a staple on late night talk shows. This past September, she appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” and rapped Nicki Minaj’s verse from Kanye West’s “Monster.” Now, she appears in the Christopher Sims-directed music video for electronic duo Sigma’s new song “Find Me,” lip-synching to guest vocalist Birdy’s lyrics. In the video, she dons a hoodie and speeds around the city singing to the song. Watch the video below.

The duo, who released their impressive debut full length Anything But Words this past Friday, came on to Fallon as a trio (with a drummer added) and absolutely brought the house down with their live performance....read more...

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 star stopped by The Tonight Show to discuss the final installment of the film franchise, while offering up hilarious childhood tidbits – as one does when prompted by Jimmy Fallon.
It didn't take long for Banks to think of an embarrassing story from her childhood, especially when her father and sister are sitting in the audience.
"I was 12 or 13 years old, so the peak of embarrassment and horribleness," the actress-director begins, telling the TV host about what starts off as an innocent car ride.

“The Tonight Show” lineup is not complete without a game nowadays, and Jimmy Fallon is recruiting more and more guests into his madcap nightly challenges. On Thursday, Elizabeth Banks teamed up with Fallon to go against Tim McGraw and Adult Swim comedian Jon Glaser for a super-size game of “Catchphrase.” Country music singer McGraw kicked off the action on the frenetic beeping word-guessing game, but “Pitch Perfect” director and star Banks sang her first clue to score easy points.

Not much to speak of in the pre-amble this week except that From Dusk Till Dawn episode 2 on Netflix continued in fine form and presented an interesting and somewhat unique version of a vampire which was actually quite scary. If you have written this off because it sounds cheap and forced (admittedly on paper it does) I urge you to give it a watch, the dialogue alone is better than most TV shows, “Got your balls on?” is a great line I will repeat ad nauseam henceforth.
In other news Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has criticised internet providers for not providing a good enough service to allow users to use Netflix to its full potential and the costs of maintaining such a connection, mainly what ISPs are expecting streaming companies to pay them.

It happens. A bit too much fun one night leads to an embarassing walk home in the stark light of day. Now the Walk of Shame is lending itself to this new comedy starring Elisabeth Banks as a t.v. anchor woman who, after a one night stand, is left stranded with no keys, identification, or phone on the day of the biggest interview of her life. While Banks shares the top of the poster with James Marsden, you get the feeling from the trailer that this is the her show. Not a bad thing really, she's showed time and time again that she has some serious talent for comedy. Released: April 25th...

Marriages are ruined, Banks’ practice is decimated and someone is dead, Banks becomes obsessed with finding an answer.
