Tobey Maguire Sued Over Illegal Poker Games

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJune 23, 2011 //

I sort of love the idea of richie rich celebrities gathering in swank hotel rooms for illegal high-stakes poker games with an $100,000 minimum buy-in. Apparently, this is what Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and other assorted Hollywood high-rollers have been up to. I imagine there were lots of cigars at these games, not to mention tomfoolery that would make a gossip columnist drool all over themselves.

So how did we find out about these underground poker games? Because Maguire, along with Nick Cassavettes (the director of “The Notebook”) and Gabe Kaplan (the star of “Welcome Back Kotter,” who I’m guessing is like the crazy older uncle of the group) just got sued over them. Keep reading »

Tobey Maguire Is The New Face Of Prada — Huh?

Julie GersteinJune 18, 2011 //

We never thought of Tobey Maguire as much of a style icon, but apparently Miuccia Prada saw something high fashion behind his nerdy exterior.

“Brothers” Is Like “Pearl Harbor” With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Catherine StrawnJuly 24, 2009 //

“Brothers” is the upcoming Natalie Portman-Jake-Gyllenhaal-Tobey Maguire movie about the Iraq war. Sam (Tobey) goes off to fight, leaving Grace (Natalie) and two kids at home, and he dies. Grace and the kids are heartbroken, and Tommy (Jake) steps in to help out (and, apparently, sleep with his dead brother’s wife). But wait! Sam isn’t dead! He comes back home, and things start going back to normal, but then he loses it when he finds out about Grace and Tommy! And his daughter tells him at the dinner table that Mommy would rather sleep with Uncle Tommy than him! And Sam goes apeshit! Looks like a much more intense, much less sappy version of “Pearl Harbor,” with its Ben Affleck-Josh Hartnett-Kate Beckinsdale love triangle, no? Keep reading »

    Star Couplings: Kirsten Dunst Is All Apologies

  • Part of Kirsten Dunst’s 12-step sobriety program requires her to call the people she has wronged in her life and apologize. She started with Tobey Maguire, telling him she was sorry for her behavior when they filmed the Spiderman movies and when they dated in 2001. Did she call Jake too? Oh, and I spy a snaggle. [In Touch]
  • Robin Williams’ wife filed for divorce and he showed how he felt by wearing a t-shirt with a dagger-through-a-heart image on it. Who says message tees are out of style? [Us Weekly]
  • Jessica Simpson and family took a page out of the Ashton Kutcher/Pop Fiction playbook this week — mom Tina told a reporter that Jessica had remarried, while Jessica played coy about the rumor by giggling, “Well I guess if my mom said it, it must be true!” Except it’s not. [News.com.au]
