Julia Stiles is Still Acting?

So did anyone else out there think that Julia Stiles had sort of giving up that whole acting thing?  She would pop up now and again in films but nothing really jumped out at us or was ever as big as her performance in Save the Last Dance.  Well, it seems that's not the case.  Ms. Stiles will be appearing in the upcoming season of Showtime's hit series Dexter.  Recently, Stiles sat down to talk about her abhorrence toward gore and love for the show as well as her experience on the show and with Michael C. Hall. Check out the video here!

Being a Tourist Can be Hazardous to Your Health

So we've got Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp together in the upcoming film The Tourist.  Now, that's a pretty sweet combination!  So, okay neither one of them seem to seriously act anymore.  But while they may not do serious, what they do do, is fun!  Now, I'm all for great cinema but you've gotta appreciate those Blockbusters that just look like a good time. And that's exactly what this movie going experience looks to be.  Think, Mr. and Mrs. Smith meets the Fugitive.  If that idea doesn't excite you, check out the trailer here!

Megan Fox No Longer a Transformer Girl but an Armani Girl

Upgrade or downgrade folks?  Sure it's Armani and the commercial is defintely well produced and look cool.  But on the other hand, she went from being on the big screen to sppearing in a 5 minute Armani ad.  (Even Zac Efron isn't doing commercials anymore.  Come on!)  Alright, so it's not the end of the world but it certainly shows the shift in Fox's career over the past year.  She is awesome and fun to watch and it would be really cool to see her hit the big screen again.  But for now, check her out in this nifty little Armani commercial.

The Romantics: Another rom-com or worth seeing?

Anna Paquin back on the big screen, with Katie Holmes and Elijah Wood?  Seems like a strange combination but one that seems to come together nicely in The Romantics  a filmed based on the book by Galt Niederhoffer who also adapted the screenplay and will be directed the film.  Despite that fact that this scenario (someone is getting married but in love with someone else)  is your typical rom-com kind of movie it has a different feel to it.  It looks of Nicholas Sparks but feels more real and grounded than the fairytale worlds that Sparks tends to paint. Seeing Duhamel in a role where he doesn't have to play a complete tool is nice as well, especially since some acting chops lie beneath that pretty boy facade.  Another thing that sets this film apart is the involvement of the creator.  Whenever the creator is the one behind the project there is never any discrepancy in what they have in there novel and what they want to be portrayed on screen.  Originally Liv Tyler was set to play Laura rather than Katie Holmes but was later replaced.  In addition to acting in the film Holmes is a producer on the project.  Besides these big names the cast is rounded out by up and comer Dianna Agron (Quinn Fabray) from Glee.  Check out photos and the trailer here!

Katy Perry Does sexy... tastefully?

I certainly think so.  I wasn't quite sure what to expect as a follow up to "California Girls" but "Teenage Dream"certainly solidifies why Katy Perry is so successful as a Pop Artist.  The single is not only catchy but is actually well crafted and has a theme that resonates with a lot of people (and no I don't mean that Katy Perry is hot).  As far as the video, I was pleasantly surprised at how well done the sexy types of scenes were done.  They weren't as in your face as her previous video and that's what made it so great.  This video was just...fun.  If you haven't seen it yet check it out!



Also I came across this while looking for the "Teenage Dream" song and thought it was really good.  Let me know what you think!

Zac is back!

So who isn't talking about Zac Efron right now?  His movie Charlie St. Cloud was just released and has gotten fairly good reviews, he's still dating Vanessa Hudgins and well...he's just so darn adorable!  HOwever I'm not here to gush about Zac. although I could probably do so all day.  I actually found his photo shoot and article for the upcoming issue of Details pretty interesting.  Now here's someone really trying to shake to Micky Mouse image.  I don't necessarily thinks it's one of those scenario's where Zac is trying too hard to do.  It's a gradual change that has been happening over the past year or so.  The pictures and the article seem to show a more rugged and any Efron as opposed to one that dances and sings and wears...mascara.  I think that while he may not have fully developed and honed his acting chops that this guy still a lot of talent!  He is a great entertainer who hopefully has some staying power.  Check out the photo shoot and see if you dig Zac's new style.

 To check out more photos and details about the new issue of Details coming this Fall go to Oh No They Didn't.

The Greatest Sketch SHow You've Probably Never Seen...Ladies and Gentlemen, 'The Jeannie Tate Show'

So my early morning bus rides to work are made tolerable, dare I say, enjoyable due to the WTF Podcast hosted by Marc Maron. This Stand-up comic has a great voice and great guest. Most recently I was listening Marc's interview with Parks and Recreations Aubrey Plaza. When asked what advice she would give to up and coming stand ups or actors who want to be in her shoes Plaza put it simply and calmly "Say yes to everything."  Then preceded to talk about how she dragged herself out of bed on a Saturday to work on a skit being put together by Bill Hader and his wife over in Hoboken, NJ and how because of this sacrifice she made connections and contacts for life.

Now while on paper, the skit about a Soccer Mom who conducts interviews with celebs in her van while she runs errands may not sound that funny the Jeannie Tate Show is wonderfully funny with a great cast of quirky characters, and the special guest in this ep.?? RASHIDA JONES!!!!  Hope you guys enjoy and be sure to click on the 'WTF Podcast' link at the top of the post and check that out as well, YOU WON'T BE SORRY!



**Special thanks to my friend Adam Novak for the heads up about this great podcast!
