"If you love Kirsten Dunst, be happy, because Lars von Trier has cast her in his psychological sci-fi disaster film Melancholia and it means she’ll be back on our screens.Kirsten Dunst Sitting Outside a Cafe in Montreal on 10th April 2010
If you can’t stand her, be equally pleased... because he’ll probably do terrible things to his cast.
And what a cast – Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, Udo Kier and not one Skarsgaard, but two, in the shape of Stellan and Alexander. Alexander Skarsgard
It’s almost as if von Trier threw darts at big list of names pinned to a wall, but it’s definitely an interesting bunch.With a budget of $7 million and a planned European shoot, it’s based on a script von Trier wrote but has yet to reveal many details about, beyond the fact that it deals with a variety of people trying to cope with the death of the planet. Oh, and he used the phrase “no more happy endings!” in a press release". Source: www.empireonline.com
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the meadow scene in Twilight saga: "Eclipse".
"If you are familiar with the book series, you are aware that author Stephenie Meyer created a magical and romantic setting in a meadow where Bella and Edward would go to be alone. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is set to open nationwide in two months. But before the film comes to the big screen some of the actors are being called back to Vancouver for re-shoots. Yesterday, the Twilight community experienced a bit of drama when bloggers ran with an untrue story about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart needing to re-shoot the meadow scene. A rep from Summit commented, "None of the meadow or action scenes are being reshot." Some also feared that the plot would deviate from the hit book series, which is completely untrue. Adding fuel to the fire, bloggers went on to say that these re-shoots were unplanned misleading people to question the quality of the upcoming film. Once again, Summit spoke up to clear the air stating, "The reshoot was planned for months, like it is with the majority of films." With the re-shoot on the books, the only thing that is missing are the actors. The studio is feverishly working out scheduling details to get some of the cast members to Canada for a few days in order to clean up some scenes". Source: news.screenstar.com

"Guess Kristen Stewart got over that whole smiling thing pretty quickly. The New Moon beauty graces the cover of the April Spring Fashion issue of Flaunt magazine, and if the cover (via Kristen Stewart Fan) is any indication, it ought to be intense.K-Stew will dominate 14 pages of the issue, including an in-depth interview and 11 new photos by fashion photog Yu Tsai. And just because she's that special, Stewart's feature will be printed on "a gorgeous, elite linen" paper. Fancy, but hey—she deserves it" Source: www.celebuzz.com

"Jake Gyllenhaal was back on the set of Source Code yesterday in Montreal and showing off his moves while rehearsing for a fight scene. He's been in Canada for about a week after filming in Chicago for a few days with costar Michelle Monaghan. Jake's enjoyed a little downtime despite his busy work schedule, and even brought his mother out for a special brunch on Sunday. He apparently made the big step of introducing Isabel Lucas to his mom, but Jake seems to be taking it easy in the romance department after telling GQ that he's not sure about finding the right woman at this particular moment".

California Temaki SushiHere’s sushi that is fun to make at home as it doesn’t need to look perfect. Hand-rolled cones of nori (Japanese seaweed) are folded around fillings – like wrapping a bunch of flowers – and eaten with bowls of wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger.

"In my third or fourth year of life I ate my first restaurant meal, at the Steak 'n Shake on Green Street near the University of Illinois campus. I dined on a Steakburger, french fries, and a Coke. I felt extremely important. The eyes of the world were on this capable little man, sitting on a stool at the counter, grasping a Steakburger in his hands and opening up to take the first bite. If I were to take President Obama and his family to dinner and the choice were up to me, it would be Steak 'n Shake--and they would be delighted. If the Pope were to ask where he could get a good plate of spaghetti in America, I would reply, "Your Holiness, have you tried the Chili Mac or the Chili 3-Ways?"
A downstate Illinois boy loves the Steak 'n Shake as a Puerto Rican loves rice and beans, an Egyptian loves falafel, a Brit loves banger and mash, an Indian loves tikki ki chaat, a Swede loves herring, a Finn loves reindeer jerky, and a Canadian loves bran muffins. These matters do not involve taste. They involve a deep-seated conviction that a food is absolutely right, and always has been, and always will be. These convictions are fixed at an early age. I do not expect to convert you.My father said it was not for the likes of me. He liked a dash on his Chili 3-Ways. I would watch in awe as he sprinkled it on, and took his first taste. There were none of the masochistic cries of pain associated with hot sauce daredevils. He would simply glance at me sideways and elevate his eyebrows a fraction. You see why as a film critic I am so alert to the subtle nuances of acting. Source: blogs.suntimes.com
