Johnny Depp Says Angelina Jolie Is A “Really Cool Broad”

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 15, 2010 //

“We sat there and babbled about our kids. … I was pleasantly surprised that she has an incredibly perverse sense of humor. She’s a really cool broad.”

—Johnny Depp talks about how he bonded with Angelina Jolie on the set of “The Tourist.” Maybe it’s just me, but don’t actors usually gush on and on about their co-stars? And doesn’t “cool broad” sound more like something you’d say about Judi Dench? This statement has me thinking that maybe Johnny and Angie didn’t get along so well. [Daily Mail] Keep reading »

Brad Pitt Wants To Make A Chilean Miner Movie

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 15, 2010 //

We said it was a Lifetime movie waiting to happen. And this is why we are not big-time Hollywood producers. Brad Pitt sees far more potential in the story of the 33 miners who were trapped underground for more than two months earlier this year. His production company, Plan B—which also produced “Eat, Pray, Love” and “The Time Traveler’s Wife”—is close to inking a multi-million dollar deal to the rights to the saga. Apparently, there are just two hold-ups.

“Blubberella” Movie Breaks Out The Fatsploitation Genre

SimchaNovember 11, 2010 //


In a world where skinny starlets are the norm, one woman is ready to live large and kick butt! That woman is Blubberella. The lastest Uwe Boll flick, which stars Lindsay Hollister and Ron Howards’ bro, Clint, is not just hitting the interwebs, it’s also breaking out a whole new genre of badassedness — fatsploitation. In the grand tradition of Blacksploitation and Jewsploitation, the movie tagline promises, “The first female fat superhero … She will kick major ass — with her major ass …” Huzzah! She’s fighting Nazis and eating sandwiches. Go get ‘em, girl! [Dangerous Minds]

Jake Gyllenhaal Says “Love And Other Drugs” Was An Intellectual Orgy

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 11, 2010 //

“In a way, I think it made it easier—going through the journey of not only making ['Brokeback Mounatin'] but then the response of the audiences brought us all very close. That’s a very tight-knit group that remains so to this day. But ['Love and Other Drugs' director] Ed [Zwick] took it to another level here. We worked for 8 days on ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and this was months. Beyond that, it’s our love story in this movie. … Sometimes there’s just chemistry between people. I remember vibing with [Anne] since the minute we started working. Not only as actors but intellectually, too. We all kind of had this weird intellectual orgy.”

—Jake Gyllenhaal speaks at the “Love and Other Drugs” press conference about reuniting with Anne Hathaway, and how having a history with her made it easier to do the difficult and often naked scenes in the flick. We know he’s pretending to date Taylor Swift and she has some kind of boring boyfriend, but are we alone in wanting these two to get together in real life?

Christina Aguilera Is A “Good Girl” In “Burlesque”

Jessica WakemanNovember 11, 2010 //

Ack! My head is exploding! Here’s a clip of “Burlesque” star Christina Aguilera singing “I Am A Good Girl” about how she gets her Chanel dress, her YSL shoes, Dior purse and other goodies from being, duh, “a good girl.” Ugh. Burlesque performers aren’t whores, you know. (Nothing against whores, I’m just sayin’ that Dita Von Teese probably would not appreciate her line of work being compared to a prostitute and/or kept woman.) Please, please, puh-leeze don’t butcher burlesque for me, Xtina! [YouTube] Keep reading »

This “Jane Eyre” Looks Badass

SimchaNovember 10, 2010 //


Man, I’m glad I didn’t waste my time in high school reading Jane Eyre because I’m pretty sure the book would have ruined what seems to be an awesome movie! Set to be released in March 2011, the flick based on Charlotte Brontë’s book will star the kick-ass lead from Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland,” Mia Wasikowska and Dame Judi Dench. Best of all, director Cary Fukanaga, who read 24 adaptations of the book (dayum!), feels it isn’t some prissy love story, but a decidedly dark, gothic romance. Suh-weet! Now if only we could get some zombies in there. Oh yeah, and one more thing, I said it once and I’ll say it again, a decade later: “Suck it Mrs. Buckwell, reading is for peeps who don’t have movie theaters!” [The Daily What] Keep reading »

“21 Jump Street” Coming To A Movie Theater Near You

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 10, 2010 //

Ahhh, “21 Jump Street.” The show that introduced us to our crush of the past 23 years, Johnny Depp. The premise was a little weak—a group of young-looking undercover officers investigate crimes committed by and to those who aren’t yet of age. (Check out the first 10 minutes of the pilot above.) Now, “Jump Street” is headed for the big screen. The stars attached? Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. Wait, do we smell a buddy cop movie? Suffice it to say that Channing is no Johnny, but still—this could be pretty good. [EW] Keep reading »

Michelle Williams On “Blue Valentine”‘s NC-17 Rating

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 10, 2010 //

“I’m happy for [the film] to stay just like it is. Genuinely, I am. Movies get to have long lives and it’ll be judged and rejudged in 10 or 20 or 30 years, and I’ll be curious to see how it stands. It seems like such a condemnation. It feels like such a slap on the hand, like you’ve been a bad kid or something.”

—Michelle Williams dishes on how she feels about “Blue Valentine,” the movie she co-stars in with Ryan Gosling, getting an NC-17 rating [EW] Keep reading »

Anne Hathaway On Getting Naked In “Love And Other Drugs”

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 10, 2010 //

“I’ve had a chip on my shoulder since ‘The Princess Diaries’ when my nude scene was cut, so I’ve been trying to make up for lost time ever since then. … When you’re in the early throws of passion and lust and love, you spend a lot of time unclothed. The beginning of our characters relationship is in that moment.”

—Anne Hathaway dishes at the “Love and Other Drugs” press conference about stripping down for the numerous naked scenes in the movie

Emma Watson Not Gonna Strip, Do Drugs To Shake Up Her Rep

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 9, 2010 //

“I’m not going to get my kit off or snort cocaine in a film, just to leave Hermione behind. I don’t want everyone to forget me as Hermione. I’m really proud of her.”

—Emma Watson assures us that she won’t be taking on racy roles to try to get rid of her good girl image post-”Harry Potter.” For anyone not fluent in Brit, “get my kit off” means “to strip down to one’s birthday suit.” [NY Daily News] Keep reading »
