No one in my book club is having children after last month’s selection: We Need To Talk About Kevin, by Lionel Shriver. It’s a novel about Eva, a successful travel guide writer who is ambivalent about getting pregnant and ends up giving birth to pure evil. No, it’s not like “Rosemary’s Baby” with a literally evil child: her son Kevin is psychopathic and Eva realizes it, but her husband is completely oblivious. So Kevin grows up, tormenting and terrorizing the people around him, until one day as a teenager he commits a heinous crime that will leave your blood cold. It’s an amazing book that I highly recommend reading. So I can’t wait for the film version in theaters early next year, starring Tilda Swinton as the mom, John C. Reilly as the dad, and Ezra Miller as Kevin. The trailer is absolutely chilling, so I can only imagine how disturbing the actual movie will be. [YouTube]

  • Tilda Swinton has confessed that as a child she tried to kill her youngest brother! But don’t worry: she isn’t (totally) off her rocker. The actress is just promoting her new film “We Need To Talk About Kevin” — about a teen boy who commits a school shooting — and was sharing her, uh, deep connection to the material.  At age four or five, Tilda told the UK Telegraph, “I went into his room to kill him, saw some ribbons from a bonnet going into his mouth, and began to pull them out. And I was discovered saving his life. So I had this strange reputation — my brother’s savior — and no one knew I wanted to kill him.” Well then. Now we all know. [US Weekly]
  • Kirsten Dunst is now a citizen of Germany. At first this sounded really strange, but it makes sense seeing as she has roots in the country through her dad. [People]
  • Lifetime is remaking “Steel Magnolias” with an all-black cast. What in the what? [Deadline Hollywood] Keep reading »

Tilda Swinton’s bob in her new series of ads for Pringle of Scotland is absolutely breathtaking. We thought she was pretty badass before, but her new cut, which Swinton dubbed “warrior girl fringe,” takes her over the edge. Utter hairspiration. [Daily Mail] Keep reading »

Tilda Swinton Says That Giving Birth Is “Murderous” Business

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMay 13, 2011 //

“In movies, and particularly in television films, when people have babies they are sitting in a hospital room and there are flowers everywhere. They are made up, magically, and they have a baby in their arms and it’s all really lovely. They start getting pink baby clothes… [Giving birth is] a truly, truly murderous business. It’s violent. And if one doesn’t embrace that, if one can’t embrace it — and it’s really tough to do that — then you’re up a gum tree because it means you’re going to be cutting off a whole part of yourself.”

—Tilda Swinton, who has teenage twins, wants to make sure we know that childbirth isn’t all rattles and itty bitty sneakers. Is anyone else out there terrified by this quote? Moms out there, please weigh in on whether your experience matches up with hers. I’m hoping not. [Telegraph UK] Keep reading »

Which Tilda Swinton Hairstyle Do You Prefer?

Lily QApril 30, 2010 //

Never a fan of the middle ground, Tilda Swinton‘s been something of a sartorial surprise for years. She’s back at the gender bending in next month’s V. We’re big fans of her supernatural ability to play it both ways, and can’t settle on a favorite. What about you? Long ladylike locks or One Of The Boys? [Fashion Copious] Keep reading »

Dazed by: Tilda Swinton‘s suddenly feminine and knock-out styling on this May cover. Confused by: A second cover, with Swinton looking like her regular andro-chic self. Still, she’s pretty both ways. [Fashion Copious] Keep reading »

Quickies!: Holly Madison To Become “Dancing” Queen

  • There’s speculation that Holly Madison will replace Jewel, who has been struggling with tendinitis, on “Dancing with the Stars.” Despite being Hef’s number one chick for awhile, Holly doesn’t look rhythmic. [Us Weekly]
  • Couples who use a DVR to record TV shows are happier than those who don’t. They don’t fight over what show to watch and, I bet, they don’t think about what shows they’re missing while having sex. [Your Tango]
  • Where exactly does Tilda Swinton get these horrendous clothes? She should just wear her White Witch costume from “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” [Candy Kirby]

    Tilda Swinton: Polyamorous Poster Girl

    Actress Tilda Swinton, who looks like David Bowie circa The Man Who Fell To Earth, has openly admitted to being “an open lover” — also like the music icon in the ’70s. Swinton, who now holds one gold naked man called Oscar, bravely admitted to sleeping with two other dudes — a young German painter, Sandro Kopp, almost 20 years her junior, and a Scottish playwright (her baby daddy) about 20 years her senior, John Byrne. While this submitter can barely get one dude to buy her dinner, Tilda Swinton’s getting plenty o’ dessert. That being said, Tilda knows what’s good for the goose is also good for the gander.
