"The Most Relevant Film Of The Season" by Peter Sobczynski:
"The other element that elevates “Milk” from other films of its type is the mesmerizing performance from Sean Penn in the title role. Effectively tempering the angry edge that has infused most of his best work over the years, Penn presents us with a version of Milk that replicates the man in ways far beyond approximating his look and vocal cadences. He captures the wit, charm, brashness and vulnerability of the man to such an astonishing degree that at a certain point, we are no longer looking at Sean Penn delivering a performance--for all intents and purposes, we are looking at Harvey Milk. Over the years, Penn has given us one indelible performance after another but his work here is some of the best stuff that he has ever done. At the same time, this isn’t a one-man show by any means because the supporting cast is just as effective--Brolin’s take on Dan White is just as hypnotic and strangely sensitive as his recent turn as George W. Bush, James Franco contributes a sweetly vulnerable performance as Scott Smith and Emile Hirsch does such a good job of disappearing into the role of Cleve Jones that I have to admit that I didn’t even realize that it was him playing the role until I saw the end credits.
Funny, touching, angry and filled to the brim with great performances, “Milk” is a wonderful film from start to finish and, as I said before, one that has become even more relevant thanks to recent events in California". Source: efilmcritic.com
"Both beginning their respective weeks on separate agendas, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were both spotted flying solo earlier today (January 5).
The “Sweet Home Alabama” sweetheart was all about some physical fitness as she and a friend opted for a morning jog in Santa Monica.
Meanwhile, across town the “Day After Tomorrow” hunk ran an errand to his local Petco pet store to pick up an armful of supplies". Source: www.celebrity-gossip.net

oh, and this unexpected kiss while the public turned their heads high paying attention to the game. "Access Hollywood witnessed the smooch seen round the stadium during the portion of the evening when the crowd is encouraged to kiss a loved one sitting next to them on camera.
As the camera panned to Jake and Reese, who were sitting in prime courtside seats, Jake grabbed Reese’s face and gave the “Four Christmases” star a big kiss on her lips.
Following Jake’s overt PDA, Reese looked up at the giant area screen and realized the entire crowd had witnessed their kiss. She appeared to be a little embarrassed, but also sported a big grin". Source: www.accesshollywood.com

"Like Ledger, who told a Canadian newspaper, 'I'll be... wrangling cattle, and Jake Gyllenhaal', the actor has kept his sense of humour about what inevitably has been dubbed, 'the gay-cowboy movie'. After watching them give each other 'the best, western, macho kiss', Lee wryly advised, 'When you kiss a girl, you can never kiss that hard.' He also remembers that for a scene in which Ledger's real-life girlfriend, Michelle Williams, playing his wife, would see them similarly kissing, the actress 'wanted them to do it to really inspire her reaction shot, and they're sort of necking at each other, and she yelled at them, "Come on guys, for real."

"Robert Pattinson might look like the best kisser on the planet but he wasn't at all confident when he kissed Kristen Stewart for the first time.
The Twilight megastar told Seventeen magazine: "It's terrifying. Especially when you kiss and you've got to do it at a weird angle orsomething."
"But I'm skirting the answer because I'm a really bad kisser."
"That's why I don't want to go into details!"
You would think that Robert Pattinson would have kissed lots of girls but the 22-year-old seems to have had a relatively girl-free past.
He explains: "(I hadn't) kissed anyone for awhile before the movie, so I'd kind of forgotten how!"
