Getting caught having sex: "I was caught one time. My mom wasn't cool about it. I was too young to be in bed with a girl, so she was upset", Timberlake admits.
Kunis has the opposite situation: "I don't think my parents think I've ever had sex."
Friends with benefits possible?: "Ultimately, it ends when someone wants to go and get serious with somebody," says Kunis.

Was Humphrey Bogart aware of Lauren Bacall & Frank Sinatra's 'real relationship'?

Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart in "To have and have not" (1944) directed by Howard Hawks

"Bogart had been happily married to Bacall for nine years, he wasn't a casual womanizer. His self-control where women were concerned, thought Bacall, puzzled and fascinated Frank. "He just didn't understand how a man could be not only talented but so intelligent, and also have a family and not fuck around. He just didn't understand how anyone could do that, because all he did was fuck around". Frank Sinatra was "wildly attractive, electrifying", "there must have always been a special feeling alive between Frank and me", said Bacall.

Singer Frank Sinatra and actress Lauren Bacall attend a party for the musical 'Pal Joey' on October 10, 1957 in Los Angeles, California.

Peggy Connelly suspected that Frank and Bacall began an affair before Bogart died. "Frank loved Bogart", she said, "but this woman was just something else". The affair with Peggy would last for much of 1957. Frank even proposed again, but she again declined. She wanted to pursue her singing career, moreover, and he did not want her to work.

Bogart did not know about his wife's "real relationship" with Frank, Verita Thompson said. The actor William Campbell, however, thought Bogart had been uneasy on that score. "That's the way I picked it up... Because there was some relationship there, more on her part than his. And I think Bogart was aware of it". Bogart was still worrying about it only months before he died.

In January 1957, in his last hours of full consciousness, Bogart watched Frank's 1945 movie Anchors Aweigh on television. When he died, thirty-six hours later, Frank was in New York playing the Copacabana. He canceled performances and locked himself in his room, avoiding calls from everyone except Bacall". -"Sinatra: The Life" by Anthony Summers (2006)

Torn apart by internal forces: "Detour" and "The Killing"

Tom Neal and Ann Savage in "Detour" (1945)
directed by Edgar G. Ulmer

Detour (1945) is far more film noir in style than Constructivist, compared to The Black Cat. Detour is considered an archetypal example of film noir. The film has an elaborate "narrated flashback" structure frequently found in noir. It also has a femme fatale, and many discussions about fate. These lines are highly quotable, and are often cited as exemplars of philosophies that lie behind noir as a whole.

Like The Black Cat, Detour centers on a romantic couple who are torn apart by evil circumstances. Here, however, the woman breaks up the romance initially, because she wants to achieve success in Hollywood, a dream the film explicitly suggests is a delusion. Unlike the hero and heroine of The Black Cat, who show exemplary loyalty to each other, this couple is torn apart by internal forces. Source: mikegrost.com

Jake Gyllenhaal Does His Own Stunts in 'Man Vs. Wild' videos

VIDEO: 'Man Vs. Wild' Preview: Guest Adventurer Jake Gyllenhaal's Insurance Company Will Freak Out

He's lived inside a bubble, confronted an intergalactic bunny and even herded sheep in Wyoming backcountry. But as Bear Grylls's companion on Man vs. Wild, Jake Gyllenhaal is out of his element like never before.
"Gyllenhaal joins outdoorsman Grylls on a two-day trek across Iceland. Traversing terrain dominated by mountains, glaciers and icy waters, the duo copes with some of the worst conditions known to man, all in the name of adventure. Gyllenhaal, 30, looks on with bemusement, even proclaiming an edible root – a Viking delicacy, according to Grylls – "tasty." And then he is presented with the main course: a worm". Source: www.people.com

The Hollywood Reporter has an advanced look at two sneak peeks from the star’s adventure with Grylls as he takes on Iceland’s mountains, huge glaciers and active volcanoes.
In the clip above, we find that crossing between two mountains becomes a scary prospect for the movie star. But he actually takes a brave lead in the second clip below as he maneuvers over a frozen mountaintop where the risk of falling through a snow trap is a very real threat.


"Gyllenhaal carefully crawls over a single rope in between two mountains as Bear looks on, casually commenting as the movie star shakes his way over the sky-high line. Gyllenhaal slowly moves forward before glancing down -- probably not the best idea. This is about the time he could use some of that "Donnie Darko" bravery -- you know, once he figures out that whole demented bunny thing". Source: www.huffingtonpost.com

Vera Farmiga directs and stars in “Higher Ground” her directorial debut

Jake Gyllenhaal and Vera Farmiga at the SXSW Festival to premiere their film Source Code in Austin, Texas.

"Walking into a movie set in a born-again Christian commune, one might expect a bit of a freak show. But that isn’t what Vera Farmiga provides in “Higher Ground” her directorial debut. The film is about the struggle to find meaning and belief in life and refuses to reduce people to caricatures, no matter their beliefs. Farmiga approaches the material with a sly sense of humor and an understanding of what it means to look for your place in life. The film is never mean-spirited and is full of rich details of life on the commune that presumably come from screenwriter Carolyn S. Briggs, who developed the script with Farmiga based on her memoirs, “This Dark World.”

"Farmiga has a reputation for being a director-friendly actor. Speaking with Rich, Farmiga talked about choosing roles: “There’s gotta be something about a woman that turns my head.” Working with Martin Scorcese: “Marty loves to talk… yap yap yap. He’s got so much fervor and enthusiasm, but he talks until the cows come home.” Her attraction to the script of her directorial debut, “Higher Ground” which was at the festival: “I have a great admiration for those solely focused on spiritual enlightenment. My father always feels the breath of God on his face. I sought to grasp that.” Source: www.indiewire.com
