"Amanda Seyfried hated every minute of her recent Vanity Fair photoshoot with celebrated fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz, because she had spent the night before throwing up. The Mamma Mia! star joined fellow up-and-coming screen stars like Kristen Stewart, Carey Mulligan, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively, Zoe Kravitz and Leighton Meester for a Young Hollywood-themed cover shoot.
Sick Seyfried was a mess on the set of the shoot and regrets not making the most of her time working with Leibovitz. She says, "It was one of the worst days of my life. I had been ill, I had been throwing up since 4am that day and I had to come in. It was my big moment to work with Annie Leibovitz and I totally crashed out."

"This is the last day I have with Chan and then we're done promoting this movie. It's sad, because I love him. Because of all the success, you expect him to be a little bit of a (jerk), or at least a little bit vain. And he's not vain," Seyfried says. "This is our last day together. What I would really want to do is go out and get drunk, for old times' sake, but I'm so sick, and that would be so stupid." "She's self-deprecatingly humble", Tatum says.

Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg in "Adventureland" (2009).
♫Sometimes I feel so happy, Sometimes I feel so sad. But mostly you just make me mad. Baby, you just make me mad. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. Linger on, your pale blue eyes♫
"I'm now a member of the Stewart fan club. Her work with Eisenberg is casual, warm, natural and understatedly sexy. We understand their relationship in that "we want every moment to last forever but we can't wait to get to the next" sort of way. When she drives him home and he sits sideways in his seat - unable to take his eyes off of her - and "Pale Blue Eyes" is softly playing; we are as anxious to find a quiet place to share their first kiss as they are".

Kristen Stewart at "Adventureland" premiere in Sundance Film Festival, on 19th January 2009.
"Contoured cheeks and deep grey shadow rimming her lids and lower lashlines really played well against undone curls, especially when paired with a cool cropped leather jacket and fun blue kicks. A cream shadow, brushed just onto the lids and then swept subtly under the lashlines, will really make your eyes stand out. Try L'Oreal HiP High Intensity Pigments Cream Shadow Paint in Steely ($11.99 at walgreens.com), which is lush and rich yet still light enough that it's totally blendable.

"Kristen Stewart was photographed a million times while she had the mullet she got to play Joan Jett in The Runaways. (The last time she was shot before she chopped it? For her Allure cover.) Now, the movie itself is finally here—it played at the Sundance Festival and it will be released in mid-March—and it turns out the dirty-sexy makeup is just as noteworthy as the hair. Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning at "The Runaways" Premiere in Sundance, on 24th January 2010.
We talked to makeup department head for the film, Robin Mathews, about the looks she created on Stewart and Dakota Fanning, who plays Jett’s bandmate Cherie Currie. “Joan Jett and Cherie Currie weren’t really into lipstick because it was such a pain in the ass to keep on,” says Mathews, “so the look of The Runaways is all about the eyes.” And though Stewart and Fanning aren’t big makeup girls themselves— “neither of them needs a stitch of makeup” says Mathews— they got so into the characters that they even did what they needed to get the look right. “Sometimes we’d apply Kristen’s eyeliner at night, then she’d sleep in it, and it was in all the right creases in the morning when she came to the set,” says Mathews, who used Make Up For Ever products. “When she’d come in after sleeping in black kohl liner, I’d blend and smudge it out with a brown eye shadow and a small stiff eye shadow brush on the top lid and under the eye."

"Jerry Bruckheimer and Walt Disney Studios are hoping the years in the making "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is the start of a new franchise for all involved. The adaption of the finished shooting over a year ago, but lots of special effects and time in the editing room have been spent to make it work. Now, as the film's May release date creeps up, more details about the potential blockbuster are finally being revealed. The adventure's new TV spot has the arduous task of explaining the film's main plot point: the time-travelling dagger is what Gyllenhaal's muscular prince is trying to save from getting in the wrong hands. Mysteriously, so far the the previews have done little to note none other than Ben Kingsley is the film's primary villain".

On playing Jewish characters: "I've always tried to stay away from playing Jews. I get like 20 Holocaust scripts a month, but I hate the genre. That was the first thing to come my way (New York, I Love You) that really intrigued me."On rom-com roles: "It wasn't that I didn't want to do comedy. It's just that I would only get offered girlfriend parts in guy comedies, which aren't exciting to me, or those offensive roles in romantic comedies where the woman has to have a job in fashion so that she can have nice clothes, and her goal is always marriage."

"Quirk is odd, but not too odd. That would take us all the way to weird, and there someone might get hurt.(Indeed, inappropriate dancing is a big quirk trope, inasmuch as it provides a dramatic moment at which value systems can collide. This itself called out to the unwittingly only-slightly-less-hypersexualized preteen dance troupe Sparkle Motion in the 2001 quirk-noir Donnie Darko, a movie in which Jake Gyllenhaal takes orders from a giant rabbit.)"

"What makes indie such an odd example of a subculture being sold back to the masses is that, in practice, its main selling point is its uncoolness.
Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus in a scene of "Zombieland" (2009).
The Atlantic’s Michael Hirschorn identified this “aesthetic principle” as “quirk”, defining it as “an embrace of the odd against the blandly mainstream.” Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona Flowers in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" (2010).
“It features mannered ingenuousness, an embrace of small moments, narrative randomness, situationally amusing but not hilarious character juxtapositions ... and unexplainable but nonetheless charming character traits,” he wrote. “Quirk takes not mattering very seriously.” He then doled out a cross-platform cut down of pop culture’s then-current pantheon of quirk: This American Life, Napoleon Dynamite, Little Miss Sunshine, Flight of the Conchords. He missed Juno by just a few months, but the movie likely would have altered his take dramatically; Ellen Page and Olivia Thirlby in "Juno" (2007).
Imagine if he’d had as fodder Diablo Cody’s stripper-to-screenwriter story, Ellen Page’s eerily natural portrayal of Juno’s hyper-offbeat title character, the movie’s stringently precocious and best-selling soundtrack (featuring Belle and Sebastian, Kimya Dawson and proto-indie rockers The Velvet Underground), and the film’s predictably unexpected Oscar nods. Michael Cera in "Youth in Revolt" (2010).
And that’s to say nothing of the deluge of quirk that’s flowed forth since: all of Michael Cera’s other movies, Where the Wild Things Are, Zooey Deschanel. It would’ve been an embarrassment of twitches". Source: www.pastemagazine.com
