Happy 23rd birthday, Shia Labeouf!

Happy 23rd birthday, Shia Labeouf!

“I know I’m one of the luckiest dudes in America right now,” LaBeouf says. “I have a great house. My parents don’t have to work. I’ve got money. I’m famous. But it could all change, man. It could go away. You never know.”

Shia LaBeouf (pronounced SHY-uh La-BUFF) is the biggest box-office star of his generation. His new movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is expected to push the worldwide total of his film grosses over $3 billion.
He could very well lose everything, as other young stars have, his career wrecked by self-indulgence and arrogance. LaBeouf comes from an unconventional family with a history of addiction. He is aware, he says, of how disproportionate movie success is to actual achievement and how easy it is to be overwhelmed by a skyrocketing career.
“I don’t handle fame well,” LaBeouf says. “Most actors on most days don’t think they’re worthy. I have no idea where this insecurity comes from, but it’s a God-sized hole. If I knew, I’d fill it, and I’d be on my way.” “I’m still doing the same hustle now,” he continues. “The only change is that, instead of my dad selling hot dogs from the cart, it’s Steven Spielberg selling the hot dogs.” Spielberg has been the producer of LaBeouf’s major films".

"In Bloom" perfume by Reese Witherspoon

"Reese Witherspoon is pretty in pink Valentino as she previews her first-ever fragrance — In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon — at Four Seasons Hotel in New York City last week.“It was a unique experience for me because I had no idea what goes into making perfumes,” said the 33-year-old actress. Reese said, “I was really drawn by white flowers to get that sense of a steamy night somewhere in the South. Definitely gardenia is a big thing for me because my father — every Mother’s Day or on my birthday — would buy small bouquets or corsages for my mother and I. And my mother always wore beautiful white-flower perfumes, so as a young girl, that was my idea of femininity. It’s indicative of where I am today. I’m feeling very strong and independent and so happy. The fragrance really captures that feeling — it’s very sensual, very romantic and alluring.”

The fragrance will be available exclusively from Avon in November".

Robert Pattinson, one handsome man

"Should The Twilight Saga: New Moon star Robert Pattinson achieve the title of People Magazine's next "Sexiest Man Alive"?

Last year, we know, his Unbound Captive co-star and new found friend (at least it seems) Hugh Jackman was given the title.
This year, though, Robert Pattinson has been the name we all know, and he has already been named one of People's 100 Most Beautiful list, and he is also a shoe-in for Vanity Fair's "World's Most Handsome Man" poll". Source: www.examiner.com


Twilight's Robert Pattinson tells co-star Kristen Stewart to choose between him and her long-term boyfriend, Michael Angarano.

Natalie Portman talks about Jake in "Brothers"

"Having Portman as the face of the site allows filmmakers to let their guards down and speak candidly. Trolling through the site, one finds handfuls of eyebrow-raising tidbits—Darren Aronofsky admitting that Ellen Burstyn wasn’t his first choice for Requiem for a Dream, for example, and that the actors he wants regularly turn him down. Or Jim Sheridan telling Portman to her face that she, to some extent, and Jake Gyllenhaal, to a much greater extent, are reluctant to shoot scenes in which they don’t come off as “cool.”

Oh, and HAPPY 28TH BIRTHDAY TO NATALIE PORTMAN!!
(actually happy belated because her birthday was on Monday, 9th June)
Many happy returns and many happy next films we'll be waiting from you, Miss Portman.

Jake and Reese spotted in Soho

"The two leads, Burt (Jon Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph), are excellent in their portrayals of a young man thrilled he is to become a father and a woman feeling irritable and uncomfortable during her pregnancy. The picture becomes a road flick when the unmarried couple decides to drive across the country to visit relatives and look for a place to live. Another person Verona and Burt visit is LN (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a disliked professor at a Madison, Wisconsin, university. (An aside. In real life, Maggie Gyllenhaal lives with her daughter and husband, Peter Sarsgaard, in the Village, where I live. Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal shopping in Soho, on 6th June, 2009.

Further, before going to see this movie, I had lunch at Balthazar in Soho, and in walked her brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, with his lady friend, Reese Witherspoon"
