Jerry Lewis and Marilyn Monroe, looking for a contact to be real


Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis and Marilyn Monroe, during Martin & Lewis' reception of the Photoplay Award (1954).

But in the midst of another story, Lewis is suddenly insistent that Marilyn Monroe and President Kennedy—with whom Lewis was close—never had the affair many believe they had. When I look skeptical, he turns stern. "I'm telling you what I know. Never! And the only reason I know is because I did. Okay?"

Wait, what??

He nods, adding that Monroe used sex like he uses humor: to make an emotional connection. "She needed that contact to be sure it was real."

Okay, but what was it like, I ask, to make love to the most famously tragic sexpot of all time?


"It was…" he says, taking a beat, "long." He smiles ruefully. "I was crippled for a month." Another pause. "And I thought Marlene Dietrich was great!" Source: www.gp.com

Kristen Stewart loves her a vampire, her photoshoot in W magazine

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart On The Cover Of Entertainment Weekly, August 2011

-In Breaking Dawn, Bella and Edward, her beloved vampire, get married. What was the wedding like?

-Awesome. This was my first wedding. It was insane. And odd. The wedding dress experience was a huge deal. I tried on one version of the dress, and it was like tweak and tweak and alter and tweak and change, and then it’s done. BFD dress. Huge deal.

-How was the actual wedding?

-It was major. The last Twilight book is filled with BFDs, things that people have been waiting for for so long. For me, it was ridiculously dramatic: I get married, give birth, the baby has an incredibly accelerated growth rate we’re all very concerned about, and I say goodbye to my dad for the last time ever. It was all big—I could never go, Whew, I’m losing this character.

-Did you have a particular interest in vampires? All young girls like vampires.

-I fucking love me a vampire [Laughs]. I was 17 when I read Twilight, and at the time it was so perfect for me. The script was about young kids who think they can handle stuff that they just can’t. And they’re going to do it anyway. Because, why not? Just torture yourself. I relate to that. Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves. Source: www.wmagazine.com

"Source Code" is a romantic touching film, Vote for Jake Gyllenhaal's best abs

“Every second spent explaining things puts more innocent civilians at risk,” our hero Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) is told when he asks his controller how come he’s just woken up as a teacher called Sean Fentriss on a commuter train heading into Chicago, then been blown up with it in a terrorist bombing after eight minutes.
Stevens repeatedly, paradoxically, amusingly, thrillingly relives these minutes – and falls in love with charming, doomed fellow-passenger Christina (Michelle Monaghan).

This romantic, touching film about changing life’s pre-written scripts seems feelgood, but, as with Jones’s previous film, Moon, implies a darker vortex of proliferating realities and outcomes. Source: www.telegraph.co.uk

Femme fatales: Myrna Loy, Lana Turner, Lizabeth Scott... and Emma Watson

Emma Watson in Vogue US magazine, July 2011: Watson’s gamine beauty is offset by a Tom Ford gold chain-mail top. Undercover skirt with brass feather overlay. Louis Vuitton clutch.

We headed to London to spend a few days with Emma Watson on her home turf—including a stop by the set of her first Vogue cover shoot, with Mario Testino. On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, the actress talked to us about the perils and pleasures of her young whirlwind life, and what she's looking forward to most in her next post–Harry Potter chapter.

Emma Watson on fighting to balance education and work: “I have felt for the last ten years I have had this battle; I’ve been fighting so hard to have an education. It’s been this uphill struggle. I was Warner Bros.’ pain in the butt. I was their scheduling conflict. I was the one who made life difficult. I just realized at one point that I can’t fight everything. I have to move in the direction of it—and go with it.”

Rambova had taken exotic stills of Myrna for an unreleased movie "What Price Beauty?" that made the rounds to fan magazines and interest from Warner Brothers who signed her for a contract in the mid 1920's. Some of her first films playing a femme fatale we're in "A Girl in Every Port" 1928 starring Louise Brooks and Victor McLaglen. By 1929 she had co-star billing opposite Victor McLaglen again in the war adventure "The Black Watch". The film was directed by John Ford and Myrna was made up to play a native princess who wins the heart of the British soldier. Her third role as the non American beauty who captures a mans heart came in "The Perfect Song" 1929 starring John Boles.

Myrna Loy (1905-1993)

Born as Myrna Adele Williams, Myrna Loy was known as one of the Queens of Hollywood in the 30's. At the end of the silent era, Myrna Loy started her career as an exotic, Theda Bara-like femme fatale. Fortunately, she was rescued by the advent of the sound picture, where she was recast in the role of the witty, urbane, professional woman.

She is best remembered for her role of Nora Charles opposite William Powell in six "Thin Man" movies.
