Michael Cera talked about losing his virginity in Playboy’s August issue: “To be honest I don’t remember too much about it”, the 22-year-old actor shared. “All I remember is I had been awake for almost 86 hours, I was on the roof of a Public Storage building in what seemed to be a freezing rainstorm, and Crispin Glover was there with a disposable camera he kept winding even though it had clearly run out of exposures.”

In his remarks to W Magazine, Ben Stiller wonders about those "loser guy" roles he gets -- the geek in "There's Something About Mary" and then confesses that being a workaholic on "Permanent Midnight" helped him get over his break-up with longtime girlfriend Jeanne Tripplehorn.

BEN STILLER: She made me laugh. We laughed a lot and weren’t looking to get into a thing and then all of a sudden it just happened, so it was like one of those things where it just was there. (Episode 8th December 2008 - Enough Rope)

Ben Stiller (Interview from The daily telegraph): 'I wasn't good at picking up girls,' he says. I remember some bad dates The worst? I took a girl to see The Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond. I didn't get lucky that night... I couldn't even chat up my wife until one day I injured my toe and because I was hopped up on painkillers I felt loose enough to talk to her. We started hanging out and having so much fun that she came to visit me in New York and never left.

Ben Stiller & Christine Taylor talk about what is sexy (InStyle.com)
BEN: "Finding time to go on a date, just us".

CHRISTINE: "Those little moments alone, like on the car ride home after we drop the kids off somewhere, or watching what we've TiVo'd after they go to sleep. We sound like the most boring couple."

BEN: "They don't have to be excited by us. We're excited by each other."
"I'd had a couple of relationships in my life that were very serious", Ben says. "When I met my wife, I was very sure. I knew she was the one immediately. There was no angst involved, and that was a new feeling for me. We were engaged within five or six months."

Natalie Portman compares "Black Swan" to "Rosemary's Baby" in terms of genre

"Like with Repulsion or even Rosemary's Baby, the real value of trip through a subjective perspective is in finding the clues with which to relate the psychic divergence to the world which is at least partly the cause for it. Donnie Darko presents us with a family and community framework which has evidently produced pressures enough on this teenager to drive him to at least one attempted suicide and to therapy with doctor Catherine Ross.

Kelly is actually quite precise in his employment of signs and signifiers, carefully situating Donnie in this world in ways which allow the movement between realities to suggest meaningful relationships between the two levels of experience".

Natalie Portman as ballet dancer Nina in "Black Swan" (2010)

"There isn't too much that's known about "Black Swan" director Darren Aronofsky's ballet dancer drama starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Winona Ryder.

Described by many as a psychological thriller, "Black Swan" has already achieved some notoriety for its purported sex scene between Portman and Kunis,

a possibility that Portman herself merely addressed as "not explicit in any way," despite the film certainly featuring some "very extreme situations."


"It's very unique in tone," Portman told MTV News at San Diego Comic-Con when asked to describe "Black Swan" in terms of genre and tone. "I think of it more as a psychological thriller, like 'Rosemary's Baby' in [terms of] genre, if I had to pick a genre."
Perhaps the comparison to the iconic 1968 Roman Polanski-directed film is particularly telling, as that movie focused largely on the rapid mental deterioration of the titular Rosemary as she learns that her son could very well be the Antichrist. Does that mean "Black Swan" is going to follow a similar, supernaturally and religiously-charged path? That's hard to say at this point — but it is clear that Portman is enthusiastic about the project, previously stating that she signed on for the movie in order to explore her "adulthood."

Ben Stiller mocks Joaquin Phoenix during Oscars 2009


"Film buyers were mystified/intrigued by Joaquin Phoenix's "I'm Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix" when they screened it last month.
The buyers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Phoenix comes off unsympathetically and shows very little talent for music in the movie, directed by his brother-in-law (Affleck is married to Summer Phoenix).
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon as Johnny Cash and June Carter in "Walk the Line" (2005)

In some scenes in the film, the 35-year-old Phoenix is trying to get Sean “Diddy” Combs to produce Phoenix’s rap album, but the hip-hop impresario is not terribly interested.
Ben Stiller as Roger in "Greenberg" (2010)

Another sequence shows Ben Stiller approaching Phoenix about starring in writer-director Noah Baumbach’s “Greenberg” but Phoenix is barely interested. Two buyers who saw the movie were unsure if Phoenix had turned out an elaborate piece of performance art, where the joke was really on the audience".
