Glamour coversThey were probably promoting their respective films as well but mostly they talked about boys. Unfortunately, Ashley broke up with boyfriend Joe Jonas by the time this article came out. Here is what Ashley told the mag:

“I still am extremely green in some ways. And so each time I work on a character, it is very exciting, very scary.”

“It is difficult because people look at you as that character. I want to play a role of a 24-year-old woman, not 17-year-old girls. So I have picked a couple of films like Butter to show that. And it’s perfectly fine not to do anything for a year if I don’t find the right thing.”

“I keep to the ground rules. I’m not going to get drunk at a bar. There are younger girls who look up to me. So I do my best not to stray too far.”

Midnight in ParisHopefully this will be better than "You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger" which about seven people saw. The trailer for Woody Allen's latest film, "Midnight in Paris", was released yesterday and this one looks pretty fun. First of all it is set in Paris. Second of all, the cast includes Rachel McAdams (calmer and blonder than she was in Morning Glory), Owen Wilson (in the classic neurotic Woody Allen role), Michael Sheen, Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Alison Pill and Marionne Cotillard (there had to be at least one French person in a film that takes place in France). Oh and Carla Bruni! Even the poster for the film is amazing as it is Owen Wilson painted into Van Gogh's iconical Starry Night. The film will be released in May and will open the Cannes Film Festival.












Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams in Midnight in Paris

Bad actingOh, man, that's a low blow. You know for a woman to put that on the street about a man she's gotta be one bitter, pissed-off bitch. You'd think someone who's bearded before could handle it a little better ... if in fact this blind item from CDAN is about who alot of us think it's about:

"Although this supposedly had nothing to do with their recent breakup, this A list movie actress told many of her friends that when she was dating her A list movie actor boyfriend that he had the smallest peen she had ever seen on a guy. Like so small that when he did not trim that she had trouble seeing the stump in the bushes if you know what I mean."

Was it Renee Zellwegger and Bradley Cooper? To be honest, I don't think she ever saw his hoo-hoo. Now he's got sucess in Limitless and she's gotten what she needs out of this they've quickly fizzled out. Must have been a fairly short-term agreement. Perhaps it was just the fact that nobody really cared about these two as a couple. They could adopt 30 kids and never be like Brangelina. And that still leaves us wondering about Renee's motivation, why she keeps strapping it on. Money? Boredom? We may never know.

She was gorgeous, gracious, darkly sexy but never trashy, even when she allegedly stole another woman's husband. OK, so she really did steal at least one husband, but nobody could really stay mad at her, or stop watching her movies. All the starlets and wannabes with all their manufactured drama and questionable skills could never hold a candle to Liz Taylor. She could really act, and she could really love.

The world was shocked and saddened by the death today of Elizabeth Taylor at 79. She was one of the last true greats, and she lived the superstar lifestyle before it was fashionable. Hell, she wrote the book. Then, in the twilight of her years, instead of fading into obscurity, she became an activist for AIDS research and helped raise millions. She also became close friends with Michael Jackson, although I don't know for sure what she may have helped him with other than turn him on to the docs who write the really good 'scripts.

Despite the fact that she didn't always live her life according to the publicists, the world fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor from her stunning debut in National Velvet as a young girl, and grew up to become one of the biggest movie stars of all time. She even won not one but two Academy Awards. They just don't make stars like that anymore.

Needs a raise and a vacationOh, somebody's gonna be audited for this. Somebody's gonna be audited inside out. I can understand a child being spoiled; every parent can be indulgent from time to time. But even the most spoiled child needs to hear "no" once in a while, especially if it's for their own good, or it's something that can have ramifications.

Take the case of Katie Holmes and Suri in Manhattan today. I guess Suri was craving sweets and Katie sent someone to fetch some candy, but instead of bringing back Gummi Bears or Skittles, they gave her Gummi Penises. That's right. They gave a pre-schooler little penis-shaped candies. What kind of a store where they at that even sold these candies, and how could Katie, her minders, the nannies, security, all those people not realize what they were giving this constantly-photographed child to put in her mouth?

But what if it's not accidental? What if this is Katie's way of thumbing her nose at her stubby little hubby? Maybe they're renegotiating her contract and she's holding out for the big bucks. Hell of a sticking point, those gummi penises.
