Jessica Biel on set of "Nailed", on 8th June, 2008.
"Cinema Blend thinks that Hollywood is running out of ideas. If they’re stealing ideas from porn, then I’m inclined to believe that they have! It looks like they’ve done just that with the newest Jessica Biel offering. This project is being created by David O. Russell, and its called Nailed.
Geez, I guess that they’re right! The premise of the film is that Biel plays Sammy Joyce, a socially awkward receptionist who accidentally gets shot in the head with a nail gun. Wild sexual urges are created as a result. She takes these sexual urges to Washington (where else?) in her campaign to help those who have been bizarrely injured. Jake Gyllenhaal plays an amoral Senator who Biel… ahem… you knows. She uses this to start her political career to help the cause previously mentioned.
Interesting plot, huh? Well, Russell co-wrote this one with Al Gore’s daughter, and is going to direct it himself. Source: www.filmschoolrejects.com

"The rumor-mill is working overtime in Britain - the gossip is that Jake Gyllenhaal has decided to propose (or has already proposed) to Reese Witherspoon during an exotic Egyptian getaway. I buy that Jake took (or will take) Reese on a romantic trip, but I’m not buying the engagement until I read it in People. There has been a Reese-Jake engagement watch before, and Reese has even publicly claimed that she’s not sure if she’ll ever re-marry. Still, Jake’s holiday plans do seem really sweet.
According to the British travel agency with whom Jake made the arrangements, Jake organized a private jet to take Reese to the pyramids, the Luxor and a private viewing of a newly-discovered mummy. Yikes, maybe it’s not so romantic? A mummy doesn’t really say “marry me”.Source: www.celebitchy.com
We have a new Affiliate Site here in Weirdland devouted to the lovely and rising star Kristen Stewart: Kristenworld.net(take a look at their well furnished Gallery - they have over 30,000 photos of Kristen and counting!),thank you very much, Justin!
Kristen Stewart as Martine in "The Yellow Handkerchief" (2008), directed by Udayan Prasad. This film was released at Sundance Film Festival on 18th January 2008 and at San Francisco International Film Festival, on 2nd May, 2008. "Twilighters in need of a fix before Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster sequel New Moon arrives in theaters thought they needed to wait until March 27 to see Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart again. That’s the day their new movies open: Little Ashes (Rob’s, a Salvador Dalí biopic) and Adventureland (Kristen’s, an ’80s comedy.) But it turns out fans can see their Twilight favorites much sooner. On March 17 Little, Brown will publish the detailed on-set journal that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke kept throughout filming. Hardwicke has given EW an exclusive first peek at Twilight: Director’s Notebook, which looks less like a diary than a scrapbook, studded with drawings, makeup and wardrobe notes, storyboards, lists, sketches, photos, and all kinds of oddnuggets of information (did you know Rob was first tricked out with hair extensions to give him his trademark look)?"

5. Emma: Perhaps one of the best movies to watch when one is listlessly sick at home, Emma appeals to a wide range of people other than the infirm. Though lovers of authenticity may question certain aspects of this version, the truth is that making a good period piece is difficult at best, and downright impossible to please at worst. This version strikes some pleasant high notes, with the inclusion of the surprising Toni Collette, as well as Paltrow's ever-affable Emma. Emma is concerned with playing matchmaker to those around her, and a comedy of errors ensues after she herself falls in love. In typical Austen fashion, sardonic charm and grace abound amidst the flowery language and luxurious sets, and one finds plenty to love despite the obvious shortcomings.4. Shakespeare in Love: At her best when playing radiantly beautiful, Paltrow's bashful charms are on full display here, and wholly utilized in her brash role as a woman working within the confines of Elizabethan England. Playing muse to a stymied Shakespeare, Paltrow shines in her attempts to break social barriers, and the film is charming in that so many small events found their way into the Bard's tales. There's something to be said for opulent filmmaking, and surprisingly, critics and audiences were in full agreement as the film garnered thirteen Oscar nominations as well as making bank at the box office.3. Se7en: Another wrenching performance, as Paltrow plays sweet and diffident homemaker to Brad Pitt's street-wise, impatient, but loving, homicide cop. Paltrow exists to provide insight into Pitt's harsher character, as Morgan Freeman and Pitt build a case against an errant serial killer. Gentle and unassuming, she is held up as a mirror to everyone who's ever moved to a new city to pursue someone else's dreams, caught halfway between the old life and the new. Though she's not featured in the film extensively, it is through her looking glass that Pitt is called into sharp relief, and this sets the tone for the exhausting and harrowing ending. 2. The Royal Tenenbaums: Cherishing her ability to play sullen and surly, through the eyes of Paltrow we meet the dysfunctional Margot Tenenbaum, who hasn't felt emotions for years. Margot finds herself tied up in a loveless marriage, kept at arms length from her family, and passively moving from situation to situation without any real connection to people or places. It is only near the end of the film, when faced with the possibility of losing the one person she has ever cared for, that Margot breaks down and the effects of such loss are palpable. Paltrow plays the role utterly aloof, and nearly unrecognizable from her usual casually beautiful self, brimming with good will and charm for all. Such a departure is satisfying, as one wants to see actors and actresses change over time, and being a part of the Tenenbaums was definitely different in every way.1. Proof: As a mathematically gifted young woman who, not only lost recently lost her father, but may also be losing her mind, Paltrow is heartbreaking in her fragility. When authorship of a very important mathematical proof is called into question, she is left to defend herself as an unknown in a world where nearly everyone is against her, including a well-meaning sister and even her own psyche.
"While this film isn't as popular as the others, Paltrow turns in a tight performance, starkly frightened by the very real possibility that all she has loved will be taken from her. Jake Gyllenhaal falls into place amiably as a fellow mathematician investigating the elegant mathematical proof, and it is through his gentle prodding and support that Paltrow finds herself, as well as the truth of her father's life and work. For a film that deals with longstanding familial drama as well as the complexities of paranoia, disbelief and acceptance, the potential for disaster is always high. Yet, Proof falls squarely in the hands of the capable Paltrow, and it is unconditionally one of her best performances". Source: www.film.com
"Last month, Dazed Digital showed the trailer to Francesco Vezzoli's project Greed, a faux ad campaign for an imagined perfume. Directed by Roman Polanski and featuring Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams embroiled in a fierce battle over the fanciful scent, the spurious campaign attempts to isolate and imitate the hype created by the promotion of a new luxury product in the mass market. The premiere of the final film is being shown at the Gagosian Gallery in Rome tonight and DazedDigital are exclusively screening it online". Watch the video in dazeddigital.com
"Over the decades, gay cinema has reflected the community's journey from persecution to emancipation to acceptance. Politicized dramas like Victim in the 1960s, The Naked Civil Servant in the 1970s, and the AIDS cinema of the 1980s have given way in recent years to films which celebrate a vast array of gay lifestyles. Gay films have undergone a major shift from the fringe to the mainstream—2005’s Academy Awards were dubbed "the gay Oscars" with statues going to Brokeback Mountain, Capote, and Transamerica. Producers began clamoring to back gay-themed movies and the most high profile of these is Gus Van Sant’s forthcoming Milk, starring Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, the first prominent American political figure to be elected to office on an openly gay ticket back in the 1970s. The book also covers gay filmmakers and actors and their influence within the industry, the most iconic scenes from gay cinema, and the most memorable dialogue from key films".Source: astore.amazon.com
