Jeremy Renner denies he hit on Jessica Simpson

Posted on Mar 09, 2010 under Academy Awards, Actors, Featured, Jessica Simpson, Oscar Awards, Oscar Winner | No Comment

The Hurt Locker actor Jeremy Renner has denied reports that he recently hit on Jessica Simpson.

Renner, 39, was at a cocktail party for the Oscar-winning movie at Madonna manager Guy Oseary’s house in LA.

It was reported in the US that he had “spent the night hitting on Jessica like crazy” but he has dismissed these claims.

Renner said that he only saw Simpson, 29, for “three minutes” at the party and the rumours aren’t true.

He said to UsMagazine.com: “Her hair stylist [Ken Paves] did my mum’s hair so we were talking about that – and then all of a sudden we’re dating!”

Colin Firth: ‘There are risks for gay actors coming out’

Posted on Feb 02, 2010 under Actors, Movies | No Comment

A Single Man star Colin Firth has said there are “risks” for a gay actor coming out as they could harm their career.

The 49-year-old, who is married to wife Livia Giuggioli, is playing the role of a gay college professor in his new movie and said gay actors are still struggling to cross “invisible boundaries” in their careers.

He said: “There might be risks for a gay actor coming out. The politics of that are quite complex, it seems to me. If you’re known as a straight guy, playing a gay role, you get rewarded for that.

“If you’re a gay man and you want to play a straight role, you don’t get cast – and if a gay man wants to play a gay role now, you don’t get cast.

“I think it needs to be addressed and I feel complicit in the problem. I don’t mean to be. I think we should all be allowed to play whoever – but I think there are still some invisible boundaries which are still uncrossable.”

Jared Leto recalls time in Haiti as child

Posted on Jan 20, 2010 under Actors | No Comment

US actor Jared Leto has recalled memories of the ‘magical time’ that he spent in Haiti as a child.

The 38-year-old moved to the Caribbean country with his mum and brother when he was just 12 years old.

His mum helped to run two medical clinics for around a year before they headed back to the US.

He said: “I tend to keep my life stories to myself. You’ve got to keep some things for yourself. You can’t give everything away.”

However, he added: “It was a magical time. Could you imagine being a kid in such an exotic place? It was eye-opening. It was a life-changing experience.

“They have such a strong spirit and a wonderful culture and joy, even in the midst of all the struggles they have gone through.”

The 17-year-old actor was rumoured to be dating country singer Taylor Swift, 19.

Asked if they were ever really dating, he said: “You can pretty much believe 10 per cent of everything you read online.”

Following the recent Golden Globes, it is claimed he attended an after-party but stuck to the non-alcoholic drinks.

A source said: “He doesn’t drink. He sipped on Shirley Temples all night.”

George Clooney has revealed the line-up for his charity telethon will include performances from Bono, Sting, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Alicia Keys.

Clooney said that more than 40 celebrities are expected to attend the “Hope for Haiti” event on January 22.

He added that the aim of the benefit is “to show the people of Haiti that the whole world is paying attention”.

He said: “We’re doing a telethon on all the channels, every network in the country and international as well. It’s an unbelievable show. Bono’s written a song for it and songs are going to available on iTunes that night.

“People in Haiti have absolutely nothing. There are times when, as bad as it is for many people in this country, people also realise how much worse it is for them and they are very compassionate.”

Adrian Grenier and his Band Ring in New Years

Posted on Jan 06, 2010 under Actors, Music | 2 Comments

Adrian Grenier and his band, The Honey Brothers, celebrate the new year together last week at the Maestro Dobel Tequila party in Boston. After the actor turned musician and his bandmates led the countdown to the new year, the 33-year old ‘Entourage’ star palyed drums and guitar on a post-midnight jam. The band’s lead singer Andrew Vladeck told the Boston Globe “We’re still kind of getting out there. Of course, Adrian’s exposure is just massive. But the gigs, in the end, they speak for themselves.” That’s definitely one of his less douche bag-like moves by not shamelessly plugging the band for all it’s worth.

  • Russell Brand offers to end TV host’s period of celibacy

    Posted on Sep 10, 2009 under Actors, Actress, SEX | 1 Comment

    Russell Brand -pic

    Russell Brand left a U.S TV host hot under the collar as he offered to end her period of celibacy.

    The British comic flirted openly with Sherri Shepherd on The View and told her sex with him would ‘make [her] forget her own name’.

    “You look nice,” Brand said, rubbing Shepherd’s leg.

    “I like these gladiator-style shoes you are wearing and I like your legs.

    “Now, I understand you have been celibate for a while – when are you giving that up?”

    A blushing Shepherd fired back: “Don’t start something you can’t finish, Russell.”

    Brand put his hand on her arm and said: “I assure you this is an area in which I am not bluffing.

    “I will take care of you, I will make you see multi-coloured, I will make you forget your own name – it will be wonderful.

    “She seems quite keen, you have got all dressed up, you have got all worked up, now come on.

    “You are a very professional group of women – and I feel a combination of relaxed and aroused in your company.

    Co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who, like Shepherd, is African-American, then chimed in and asked Brand: “Have you ever had a sister?”

    Brand laughed and shot back: “Yeah. In London, we are all at it. Loads and loads, since I was young, like 16.”

    SPL93134_008

    Actor David Arquette has asked his wife Courteney Cox and her Cougar Town co-stars to help donate to his charity fundraising.

    Arquette, 37, is travelling the US as a spokesperson for the Cheesecake Factory’s Drive Out Hunger Tour, which aims to collect 100,000 cans of soup to support local food banks.

    As Arquette was driving through Los Angeles as part of the appeal, he reportedly stopped at the ABC network’s studios to collect donations from his actress wife, Cox, 45.

    But the former Friends star was not the only celebrity to contribute to the appeal – Arquette also managed to get donations at the studios from Cox’s Cougar Town co-star Busy Philipps and Scrubs star Zach Braff.

    Actor Gerard Butler’s doughnut prank

    SPL43077_028

    Actor Gerard Butler tricked a director into thinking he had eaten a doughnut that the Scot had put in his ass.

    The 39-year-old thanked the directors of his new sci-fi thriller Gamer’s by sending them doughnuts, but they were made to think the sugary treats had been messed with.

    The PS I Love You star explained to British ShortList magazine: “I wrote to the two directors on Gamer separately. I wrote that me and the stunt guys are having a blast and sent them half a dozen doughnuts each as a thank you. They were so chuffed.

    “The next day we got six fresh doughnuts and shoved them between our ass cheeks… and took a Polaroid. We sent this snap to the directors and, sure enough, they thought they’d been eating the very same sugary treats. They were freaked out.”

  • Rumer Willis says girls don’t like her

    Posted on Sep 01, 2009 under Actors, Actress, Ashton Kutcher, Friends | No Comment

    SPL118884_012
    Rumer Willis reckons that girls don’t like her.

    The actress, daughter of A-listers Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, said that she had always got on better with men.

    And she said her Sorority Row co-stars, including Audrina Patridge, were her only gal-pals.

    She said: “The girls are probably my only girlfriends in LA now. Girls don’t like me very much – I’m not sure why.

    “I’ve always gotten along better with guys.”

    She added: “You do a movie with some girls, then later you’re all auditioning for the same parts and it starts getting catty, but we’re all unbelievably supportive of each other.”

    Rumer, 21, said she was far from being a wild child.

    She told Now magazine: “I’m such a stay at home Betty Crocker! I’ve started baking pies. It’s fun and I figure I’ve got to learn to cook at some time in my life.”

    Speaking of her relationship with her stepdad Ashton Kutcher she said: “I respect him and regard him as a parental figure. He’s unbelievably smart, a great guy.”

  • Sigourney Weavers pole role

    Posted on Aug 28, 2009 under Actors, Movies | No Comment

    SPL65993_034

    Aliens actress Sigourney Weaver has revealed that she learned how to pole-dance for her new movie You Again.

    The 59-year-old stars alongside Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, and former Golden Girls star Betty White in the new comedy.

    She said: “I didn’t learn that at Yale [School of Drama]. Although it would have been useful.”

    However, Weaver added that she does not wear any raunchy stripper costumes for the dance, adding: “I wear the same thing [I did] for the samba. I have a little kind of Carmen Miranda costume.”

    Weaver also said that she has been “very heartened” by the response she has had for the movie Prayers For Bobby, in which she plays a religious mother whose son kills himself because he is gay.

    She said: “A lot of parents come up to me on the street and say how much they appreciate the film.”

    Twilights Kristen Stewart almost quit acting after year of dead-end auditions

    Posted on Aug 28, 2009 under Actors, Actress, Robert Pattinson | No Comment

    SPL118680_004

    Twilight star Kristen Stewart nearly gave up acting after auditioning constantly for a year and not getting any parts, she has revealed.

    Stewart, who has shot to fame for her role as Bella Swan in the vampire movie sagas, started acting when she was just nine years old.

    In her pre-teens, the actress, now 19, auditioned continuously for a year without getting booked to do a single job.

    She said: “It took a really long time until I was totally over it, and then came my last audition. I went to it and I didn’t even want to. My mum said: ‘Well, this is the last one. You don’t have to go to any more.’

    “And that was the first movie I got.”

    Stewart’s first film role was in the 2001 flick The Safety Of Objects.

    Despite being such a huge star these days, Stewart insists that people don’t recognise her.

    She said: “I think I just look different in person or something. I’m also not very approachable.”

    However, on film sets it is a different story. Just like her dishy co-star Robert Pattinson, Stewart has to film her scenes under a massive umbrella to deter the crowds of paparazzi and fans trying to get close to the two stars.

    The second Twilight film, New Moon, is due to hit UK cinemas in November.

    No more babies for Jerry OConnell

    Posted on Aug 27, 2009 under Actors, Actress, Selebs Baby | No Comment

    Jerry O’Connell has revealed he and wife Rebecca Romijn feel having two children is more than enough.

    The 35-year-old is dad to seven-month-old twin daughters, Charlie and Dolly, and he has admitted that they are a handful.

    He said: “The hardest thing is being in a public place like a store or a restaurant – or on your wife’s TV show set! – and smelling a number two, and knowing it’s one of your children.”

    The Baby On Board star visited his wife Rebecca Romijn, 36, on the set of her TV show Eastwick.

    He said: “I went to my wife’s work yesterday, and she was in the middle of a very dramatic scene.

    “And I had the kids there, and one of them was like: ‘Bwaaahhh!’”

    He added: “I thought it was funny, but I don’t think the director did, so I got the heck out of there.

    “I had a long talk with the girls about show business, but I don’t think they had any idea what the heck I was talking about.”

    Although O’Connell loves his two little daughters, he revealed that he and his wife don’t want any more babies. “Now we’re just adopting dogs,” he said.

    Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has revealed he would like to play the bad guy in a movie.

    The 21-year-old admitted he would like a change from playing the good guy after starring as Ron Weasley in the hit boy-wizard film series.

    He said: “I have always played the good guys so far. I’d love to play a baddy and maybe beat some people up – do something different. I’m definitely a character actor.”

    Grint said he would also like to try out a stage role.

    “I would love to do theatre but I’ve really only done school plays,” he said.

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine star Liev Schreiber would like to make sequel

    Posted on Aug 21, 2009 under Actors, Movies | No Comment

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine star Liev Schreiber said he would like to bring his character Sabretooth back for the movie’s sequel.

    Schreiber, 41, played the role of Victor Creed, also known as Sabretooth, in the movie that was released earlier this year, also starring Hugh Jackman.

    Jackman, 40, has already announced that there will be a sequel and that production will head to Japan where it eventually starts.

    Talking about reprising his role in a sequel, Schreiber said: “There have been some smatterings of conversation about it, but nothing concrete yet. I had a ball doing it, so I’d do it again.”

    He added: “Hugh [Jackman] mentioned that he had some conversations about it, but no one’s told me about it yet.”

    Jeremy Piven says he used to ‘dabble’

    SPL104461_027

    Jeremy Piven has revealed he used to “dabble” in the past – but now gets his kicks from coffee.

    The Entourage star – who famously quit a Broadway show after getting mercury poisoning – was asked if he ever got any “aid” from “artificial substances”.

    But he said a strong espresso is all he needs nowadays: “Espresso is the deepest I’ll go in terms of getting amped up. Back in the day, I did dabble. I’m not running for office, so I can say that.”

    The actor angered his castmates and the theatergoers when he walked away from hit show Speed The Plow last year – and he was ridiculed when he claimed the reason he quit was because he had contracted mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi.

    Piven, 44, who will next be seen on screen as a car salesman in The Goods, said: “I think everyone loves a good fish story, which is why it still hasn’t gone away.

    “All I know is that I was incredibly sick and I had three doctors that said, ‘You have to get out of this show because you’re in serious trouble from too high a level of mercury in your blood.’

    “I was eating fish twice a day and I haven’t touched any since.

    “I took the advice of the doctors and what came afterwards – all the repercussions – I couldn’t control. You just have to make a decision.

    “You can be really angry at me for having to leave a Broadway show early, or you can go to the movies and laugh at me in The Goods.”

    Kelsey Grammer expected at killer’s parole hearing

    Posted on Jul 27, 2009 under Actors | 1 Comment

    ELPNY 160507 A

    Frasier star Kelsey Grammer is expected to come face to face with the man convicted of killing his sister at a US parole hearing today.

    Karen Grammer was killed at the age of 18 after she was abducted on July 1, 1975, outside a Red Lobster seafood restaurant after an attempted robbery.

    She was raped and stabbed in the throat and back.

    Freddie Glenn, 52, who is serving a life sentence for the killing, is now eligible for parole.

    A Department of Corrections spokeswoman said Grammer plans to attend the hearing at the Limon Correctional Facility in Lincoln County, Colorado.

    Colorado state law no longer allows parole for those sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder.

    But Glenn was convicted before the law changed, so it doesn’t apply to his case.

    Grammer, 54, best known for his role as Dr Frasier Crane on TV sitcom Frasier, has previously vowed to speak on his sister’s behalf if her killer ever became eligible for parole.

    Grammer’s father was also murdered.

    Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio is living up to his green name after he was spotted cycling around London.

    Leonardo, 34, was seen cycling in Regent’s Park in London recently as he is in the British capital to film his new movie Inception.

    A source said: “He was going at a good, steady pace until it looked like he was lost and stopped to get his bearings.”

    However, the star didn’t have much luck as he was hit by a downpour of rain when he went to continue with his ride.

    The source added: “Within minutes of him getting back on his bike the heavens opened.”

    Leonardo has spoken out about keeping green in the past and is an owner of the eco-friendly car Toyota Prius.

    90210 star says she has girl crush on Demi Moore

    Posted on Jul 09, 2009 under Actors, Actress | 2 Comments

    SPL79729_009

    90210 star AnnaLynne McCord has revealed she can’t wait for Rumer Willis to join the cast on an upcoming episode of the hit show – because she has a ‘girl crush’ on her famous mother Demi Moore.

    McCord, 21, gushed: “I’m very happy to have her, I have met Rumer once or twice and she is very sweet.

    “I think she’s awesome and obviously, you know, I kind of have a girl crush on her mom so its good to have her.”

    Willis’s mother is Demi Moore, the former wife of her dad Bruce Willis.

    Adding to the girl theme of McCord’s excitement is the fact that Rumer is set to play a punky lesbian named Gia.

    McCord also discussed another new cast member, former US soap star Trevor Donovan, who she calls a ‘hunky young Robert Redford’.

    She added: “He is the new hunk in town. It was so funny because we all read the description obviously in the first episode and it was like ‘a young Robert Redford’ and we were like: ‘Who are they going to get for this?’

    “Those are kind of big shoes to fill. Robert Redford. Are you kidding me? So we walk on set and the wind is blowing and he is like popping tennis balls and he looks just like a young Robert Redford.

    “And we were like: ‘Wow, they did pretty good’.”
