"Fans looking for a first look at the poster art for the upcoming, “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” will have to head to the movie theater to see it, though it won’t be in the place they might expect.
Mega-Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has hidden the poster inside his latest film, “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, appearing as a Times Square advertisement about halfway into the film. It joins posters for a number of other Bruckheimer productions, including the upcoming “G-Force”, though “Persia” is unique in that it marks the first time the films’ artwork has been seen anywhere.
Prominently featured on the poster is lead actor Jake Gyllenhaal in full-costume as Prince Dastan. The film, based on the classic videogame, is an action/adventure that, in the words of it’s originalcreator, combines the Arabian Nights genre with the style of “Pirates of the Caribbean.”Source: moviesblog.mtv.com
"Fox Searchlight is the most powerful, and tasteful, studio specialty division going -- they're the company that acquired Little Miss Sunshine, Once, and Waitress at Sundance; they're also the distributors of Juno, The Wrestler, and Slumdog Millionaire -- so when it was announced that Searchlight had acquired an offbeat romance called Adam at this year's festival, I was intensely curious to see what the appeal was. It became obvious within the first 10 minutes of the movie. The title character, played by the up-and-coming British heartthrob Hugh Dancy (you'll be seeing him in just a few weeks in Confessions of a Shopaholic), is a 29-year-old electronics engineer with Asperger Syndrome, and yes, he is one of those charming saintly afflicted misfit boy-men. The way that Dancy embodies him (with great skill), he's like Norman Bates meets Forrest Gump as played by Jake Gyllenhaal". Source: Hollywoodinsider.ew.com
aren't you a little taken aback when you read these chained comparisons meets actor x meets actor y mixed with actor z's mannerisms? Here another example: "Dancy’s performance is on par with Hanks in Forrest Gump (a film which actually gets a shout out) and calls to mind Ryan Gosling in Lars and the Real Girl, minus the quirk and with some Rainman thrown in"Source: Hughdancy.info
"Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal shop at APC clothing store in West Hollywood on Saturday (January 24).
The couple came out empty-handed but walked to their car holding hands. And it looks like Jake got a haircut and finally cut his mane off!
The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway recently complimented Reese on her figure.
She said, “I don’t think it’s just Hollywood that gives out that message. As a society we put out these unrealistic body images to young women. But I’m a normal shape and Scarlett Johansson is not a skinny, skinny girl. Beyonce looks after herself and has a beautiful body. Reese [Witherspoon] looks great.” Source: Justjared.buzznet.com

"On the first anniversary of his death, Heath Ledger received an Oscar nomination.
The Dark Knight star is up for Best Supporting Actor, alongside Josh Brolin (Milk), Robert Downey Jr. (Tropic Thunder); Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt) and Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road).
Ledger himself also thought the role was worthy of awards.
"The minute Heath started doing make-up and wardrobe tests, we realized it was going to be something really special", Dark Knight producer Emma Thomas recently told Entertainment Weekly. "I remember doing a fitting where he put on that pink nurse's dress and he had the Joker's socks on and it changed the way he moved completely. Right from the beginning, people were talking about this as an Oscar-worthy performance."
Said friend Nicola Pecorini: "We joked about [an Oscar nomination]. Heath used to say, ''This time I'm going to give them such a hard time — they'll have to cry to get an interview.'' He knew he'd done something special. But he was saying, 'This time I’m going to lead the dance.'" Ledger -- who also got a lead acting Oscar nod for 2006's Brokeback Mountain -- has been nominated at every major awards show this year for his role as the Joker. He won a Golden Globe earlier this month.

The term "athletic shoes" is a very common and general term for footwear specifically designed for athletic and physical activity. They are they complete opposite of dress shoes, as they are meant to cushion and support the foot during activity that requires constant movement on one's feet.
"Athletic shoes" is a very broad term but they can also be called:
Since he first equipped a pair of canvas trainers with spikes in 1920, Adolph "Adi" Dassler, founder of adidas, developed a reputation for cutting-edge designs and his groundbreaking use of new materials and creative ideas in the pursuit of making the best possible track shoes. His reputation would soon extend to making the best sport-specific shoes for other sports as well. As the 20th century progressed, adidas footwear became a pop culture icon sported by superstars from Muhammad Ali to David Beckham and was name-checked in hit songs by Run DMC and Korn.
Discount athletic shoes are shoes whose original selling prices have been reduced by a certain percentage and are now for sale to the public in a store, on the internet or by auction. Instead of paying ninety dollars for a pair of running shoes from the Nike store, a customer can get the same shoe at an online discount store such as SHOEBACCA.com for a fraction of its original price.
Large shoe manufacturers such as Nike, Puma, New Balance and Asics will often discount their merchandise to make room for new inventory. Often times they will ship the off season shoes to closeout stores such as Nordstrom's Rack in order to make room in their inventory.
Congrats to Sean Penn for his S.A.G. Award, the next step is an Oscar Award. His performance as Harvey Milk in "Milk" was the best one I've seen this year.

Emile Hirsch was the "hot shot" of the S.A.G. night in my book. Below more pictures of him and his girlfriend Brianna Domont:
