"Maggie has said that she wants a big "fairy tale" wedding, rather than quick I Dos in front of Mayor Bloomberg at City Hall (not that there's anything wrong with that. We hear the renovations are lovely). "I've had so many different incarnations of my fantasy wedding dress," she has said. The longtime Big Apple dwellers costarred earlier this year in an off-Broadway production of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, so even in Italy, we expect their wedding to have a certain Gotham flair.

Fervent celeb-watchers (and in these depressing times, aren't we all?) will expect to see Maggie's younger brother, Jake, who is also close friends with Peter (they costarred in that sweaty ode to fatigues and gas masks, 2005's Jarhead), at the wedding, hopefully with his rumored fiancée, Reese Witherspoon. (But let's not get carried away; these are movie stars, not Lifetime Movie-of-the-Week folks, so don't expect a double wedding or any such insane, highly entertaining shenanigans.)

Outlaw characters

L.M. “Kit” Carson: "Like a lot of North Americans coming of age in the Sixties, I thought of my self as an outlaw. The fact that Edie [Sedgwick] pushed the edge was part of what attracted me to her". Edie Sedgwick with Allen Ginsberg in "Ciao! Manhattan".

"When I interviewed L.M. “Kit” Carson about the production of Anderson’s first feature, Bottle Rocket, he told me that when he read the script for the first time, he felt as though he were reading “The Catcher in the Rye as written by Holden Caulfield.” Like Holden, Bottle Rocket’s hero, Anthony, has undergone a period of institutionalization and dotes on his kid sister.Anderson’s privileged milieus and his naive, gregarious, but often maladjusted characters are Salingeresque.
Anderson's films, like Salinger's stories, are filled with loquacious, combative, often hyperachieving individuals who seem fully formed and secure in their identities but who reveal themselves as deeply damaged—by class anxiety, social expectations, and family dysfunction. They are too smart by half, and both artists let us know that their characters’ intelligence affords no insurance against despair or death".
Source: www.movingimagesource.us

"But Salinger's refusal hasn't stopped the studios from borrowing the Holden model for such movies as "The Graduate", "Diner", "Dead Poets Society", "Rushmore", "American Beauty" and "The Royal Tenenbaums."

"Most young male characters in the movies are based on the character of Holden Caulfield," says Raymond Haberski, 33, author of "It's Only a Movie! Films and Critics in American Culture." "It's been a very steady influence in the last 30 years. Every young man goes through the experiences of Holden Caulfield."Toby Maguire has made a career of being an updated Holden Caulfield. 'The Ice Storm' is almost a direct takeoff on 'Catcher in the Rye.' Since 'Dead Poets Society,' Ethan Hawke has played on that type of theme. Even Edward Burns, although not as young as the others, seems to fit that category."Jake Gyllenhaal in "The Good Girl" (2002) - Senior Tuna (Deleted Scene).

Add Jake Gyllenhaal to the list. In the current "The Good Girl" Jennifer Aniston starts an affair with Gyllenhaal, a disturbed young man who has renamed himself Holden and is fascinated with "The Catcher in the Rye.""Salinger touched on what's at the heart of American repression: familial neglect. Parents are not paying attention or are aware of the movement of their children. That's one of the worst things you can do. My 'Good Girl' character is disturbed, and I place the blame on the parents". Source: www.sfgate.com

Howl, beatnik counter-culture

"These three authors [Ginsberg, Keruoac and Burroughs], like most of us in college, wanted to change the world and start a revolution. And then, they actually did it. They started a counter-culture revolution that started in the clean-cut Eisenhower era of the 50’s, persisted through the peace movement of the 60’s, then were appropriated by the punk rock uprising of the 70’s and their legend continues even today. And I remember hearing in college that Kurt Cobain used to have Burroughs come over and recite spoken-word vocals over his guitar solos.
AE: What’s your take on the "Howl" film being made with James Franco as Ginsberg. Are you concerned about comparisons? This isn't Capote vs. Infamous all over again, is it?
JK: I think our two films will complement each other beautifully. Kill Your Darlings is the dramatic story of three young artists struggling to find their voice and Howl is an cinematic exploration of one of their poems almost 15 years later.
AE: Most folks know Ginsberg was gay, but what's the deal with Kerouac? Were he and Ginsberg lovers?
JK: I soooo cannot answer that question. There are so many competing accounts in various biographies debating Kerouac's sexuality, I wouldn’t even dare to suggest to know the answer. However, the movie takes place during their university years, and all I can say, is that like most college students, the characters in the movie are just discovering their sexuality, and perhaps would be inclined to be more experimental in these few years than during other periods of their lives". Source: www.afterelton.com

"I think there was one slight shade of error in describing the Beat movement as primarly a protest movement. That was the thing that Kerouac was always complaining about. He felt the literary aspect or the spiritual aspect or the emotional aspect was not so much protest at all, but a declaration of unconditioned mind beyond protest, beyond resentment, beyond loser, beyond winner--way beyond winner--beyond winner or loser...but the basic thing that I understood and dug Jack for was unconditioned mind, negative capability, totally open mind--beyond victory or defeat.
Ironically, Ginsberg was very insecure about Howl, and he questioned the big fuss over it. "There shouldn't be a trial over this poem," he once lamented. In fact, a biography of Allen Ginsberg--American Scream by Jonah Raskin--has a surprising revelation:

"In the mid-1970s, in the midst of the counterculture he had helped to create, he promised to rewrite Howl. Now that he was a hippie minstrel and a Pied Piper for the generation that advocated peace and love he would alter Howl, he said, so that it might reflect the euphoria of the hippies. He would include a 'positive redemptive catalogue,' he said."

Jessica Biel, "Powder Blue" stripper

"Hollywood has run Jessica Biel’s boobays up a stripper’s pole to see who would salute and the answer appears to be “not many.” The New York Post is reporting that Powder Blue, which features Jessica Biel as a stripper, will be skipping the red carpet for the short walk of shame directly from production to DVD.Biel fans in select cities will be able to see the limited theatrical release of Easy Virtue on May 22. After that, she’s working on another straight-to-DVD candidate called Nailed in which she “plays a waitress whose brain is accidentally punctured by a nail gun, resulting in weird, lusty behavior with DC lawmaker Jake Gyllenhaal.” Source: starscasm.net

Robert Pattinson interviewed by Total Film

[Rob] In an ideal world, people would always be searching out those tiny art films but it’s nice that Twilight fans are looking forward to Little Ashes. I wanted to do it to break down what I thought I could do, but Dali is incredibly self-conscious throughout the movie so I thought all the nude scenes and stuff worked with me being nervous anyway.
Nude scenes! Although, are you saying your first on-screen sex scene is with a bloke?

[Rob] We both refused to shave before doing it…

This is a big turn-on… Wait, err… what?

[Rob] …It’s very uncomfortable in terms of scratching each other with our stubble – it made me feel sorry for women!

Stubble. On your face. Riiiight… So can we talk about Twilight sequel New Moon?
[Rob] Edward and Bella’s reunion in New Moon is good. It’s different from the book so I think people will be happy. This movie will have a very different mood. In visual terms it’s going to be so different from Twilight. It’s also a lot scarier. Chris [Weitz, New Moon director] is very willing to go down that route.

So, are they going to tie you up in that harness again for the sequel?

[Rob] Luckily, I just have to get beaten up in this one!

And then we could tend to you, stroke your hair and gaze into your eyes until you can walk again. Wait. Where are you going? Robert!! Where’s that wine?!?

Gwyneth has only a fat friend

Celebrity chef Mario Batali, actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard attend the Universal Pictures Premiere of 'Jarhead' on October 30, 2005 in New York City.
"Gwyneth Paltrow only has one fat friend, but if you ask her that's still one fat friend too many. Anyway, the friend some guy named Mario Batali who is supposedly fat, but Gwyneth is trying to get him to see the error of his fat ways.

OVER the years, Mario "Fanta Pants" Batali's weight has ballooned along with his ego. It's gotten so bad, insiders said, that his pal Gwyneth Paltrow gave him a free membership to the pricey gym that she and her fitness friend Tracy Anderson are opening in TriBeCa this summer, saving him the $4,500 membership fee and monthly bills. An insider said, "Mario is the only fat friend she has, and wants him to change."

Reese feels "pressure"

Reese Witherspoon  feels “pressurised” to get married.
The ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’ actress - who has been dating actor Jake Gyllenhaal for over two years - is tired of the constant speculation about her love life, and is considering tying the knot to put a stop to it.

A source said: “Reese's best friend, Heather Whitney, just got engaged. She's got Reese thinking! People around her have been speculating that she and Jake are getting closer and closer to the altar, and Heather's engagement only puts that much more pressure on them.”

Those close to the pair are said to be keen to see them fully commit to each other, which is making Reese even more determined to walk down the aisle.

The source added to Life and Style magazine: “At least they're discussing it. Close friends shrug and say, 'I don't know anything,' when you can tell they know something. Everyone in their circle is talking about it. It's like any other relationship - the marriage issue has finally caught up with them.”

Films that will define 2009

Jake Gyllenhaal in "The day after tomorrow".
2012 (Director: Roland Emmerich, ETA: 10th July)
What is it? End-of-the-world blockbuster set at the close of the Mayan calendar.
Why we’re excited: Because if there’s one thing that Roland Emmerich does well, it’s the apocalypse. From the trailer and description is sounds a lot like The Day After Tomorrow Mark II, but who cares? Big waves are awesome, and this time it’s got John Cusack in.The Year One (Director: Harold Ramis, ETA: 24th July)
What is it? Biblical-era comedy with Jack Black and Michael Cera as travelling exiles.
Why we’re excited: Because as well as being everybody’s favourite Ghostbuster, Ramis is also a consistent and frequently superb comedy director. And because the potential for barbed bible gags recalls Life Of Brian. And because David Cross and Paul Rudd are listed in the credits as Caine and Abel.
GI Joe: Rise Of Cobra (Director: Stephen Sommers, ETA: 14th Aug)
What is it? Transformers-style live action reboot of a nostalgia-fuelled cartoon-cum-toy line.
Why we’re excited: Because the toys are ace. Because even though it was a while back The Mummy shows Sommers can balance action with unselfconscious fun. And because dressing Sienna Miller in dominatrix leather is A Good Idea.The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus (Director: Terry Gilliam, ETA: Sept)
What is it? A circus of imagination, fantasy and danger, featuring a magical looking glass that leads into other worlds. Why we’re excited: After Heath Ledger’s blockbuster-bossing turn in The Dark Knight there’s not a movie fan alive who doesn’t want to see what he did next, and how Gilliam’s production accommodated his sad departure. Here’s hoping we get a back-to-form Gilliam classic to see the Best Supporting Actor winner off in style.
Shutter Island (Director: Martin Scorsese, ETA: 23rd Oct)
What is it? Period crime drama about a US Marshal’s search for an escaped murderess.
Why we’re excited: Scorsese’s intitially bewildering pairing with DiCaprio improves with each outing, and Dennis Lehane – the author of the source novel – is all kinds of hot after the success of Gone Baby Gone.The Box (Director: Richard Kelly, ETA: November)
What is it? Supernatural moral dilemma: a couple are given a box and told that pressing the button inside will make them rich, but also kill someone they don't know.
Why we’re excited: Because no-one can direct Donnie Darko and not have another great film in them. And because even if this is the stuff of recycled Twilight Zone episodes, it’s got Frank Langella in and he’s awesome.
Sherlock Holmes (Director: Guy Ritchie, ETA: November)
What is it? Reworking of the classic detective story, starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law.
Why we’re excited: Downey Jr has the right mix of elusive genius and fitful energy to nail Holmes dead on, while we're keen to see where Post-Madge Ritchie's head's at...
Surrogates (Director: Jonathan Mostow, ETA: 26th December)
What is it? Future-set murder mystery, with Bruce Willis as a cop investigating the murders of robots.
Why we’re excited: The Phillip K. Dick-style graphic novel source paints a grim and engaging future where humans are house-bound and interact only through robot middle-men (the surrogates of the title). As Twelve Monkeys and The Sixth Sense show, Willis is at his best when he’s playing against his star image in twisted genre setups.Jennifer’s Body (Director: Karyn Kusama, ETA: 2009)
What is it? Comedy horror in which Megan Fox’s possessed cheerleader starts feeding on senior-year schoolboys.
Why we’re excited: After Juno, writer Diablo Cody is raging hot, and, as long as she doesn't stray from her proven expertise of chippy teen dialogue, there should be an interesting swerve on the usual Freudian swamp of sex and death horror.
