On Thursday (July 7), Jennifer Aniston joined the rarefied company of actors like Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe when she left imprints of her hands and feet in cement at Grauman's Chinese Theater.

The Hollywood landmark has been a stop on the path to stardom since the golden age of Hollywood.

The bosses display an impressive array of vile behavior. In this well-cast movie, each one plays to the strengths of the actors portraying him. Consider Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey), a supercilious sadist who toys with his middle manager Nick (Jason Bateman). Few are better than Spacey at regarding others with contempt and humiliating them with pleasure. Many other actors, given his dialogue in this film, would seem unconvincing and over the top. Spacey demonstrates why he is getting praise right now in London for his work as Shakespeare's Richard III.

The second boss we meet is Dr. Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston), an erotomaniac dentist. Her target is Dale (Charlie Day), her dental assistant, who is engaged to be married, but so what? She wants him, and she will have him, indulging in blatant and aggressive sexual harassment The movie, directed with cheerful and wicked energy by Seth Gordon, is situation slapstick, much of it set (as many desperate lad pictures are) outside the houses of the targets, as the plotters peep and spy. There's a particularly ingenious series of scenes involving Kevin Spacey, one of them finding a legitimate excuse to recycle perhaps the single most famous shot of "Pulp Fiction."

Spacey is superb, but the surprise for many may be Jennifer Aniston.

"The silvery cylinder burst forth in a fiery column of smoke and flame... racing the very wind as it soared into the sky... a messenger of these Rocket Boys of Big Creek. These boys who use their brains, not brawn... who play not football, but with Apollo's fire."

Frank O'Hara:
Poem (Lana Turner has collapsed!)

Lana Turner has collapsed!
I was trotting along and suddenly
it started raining and snowing
and you said it was hailing
but hailing hits you on the head
hard so it was really snowing and
raining and I was in such a hurry
to meet you but the traffic
was acting exactly like the sky
and suddenly I see a headline
LANA TURNER HAS COLLAPSED!
there is no snow in Hollywood
there is no rain in California
I have been to lots of parties
and acted perfectly disgraceful
but I never actually collapsed
oh Lana Turner we love you get up

Getting caught having sex: "I was caught one time. My mom wasn't cool about it. I was too young to be in bed with a girl, so she was upset", Timberlake admits.
Kunis has the opposite situation: "I don't think my parents think I've ever had sex."
Friends with benefits possible?: "Ultimately, it ends when someone wants to go and get serious with somebody," says Kunis.
"More times than not, a person catches feelings and somebody gets hurt." Source: content.usatoday.com

Was Humphrey Bogart aware of Lauren Bacall & Frank Sinatra's 'real relationship'?

Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart in "To have and have not" (1944) directed by Howard Hawks

"Bogart had been happily married to Bacall for nine years, he wasn't a casual womanizer. His self-control where women were concerned, thought Bacall, puzzled and fascinated Frank. "He just didn't understand how a man could be not only talented but so intelligent, and also have a family and not fuck around. He just didn't understand how anyone could do that, because all he did was fuck around". Frank Sinatra was "wildly attractive, electrifying", "there must have always been a special feeling alive between Frank and me", said Bacall.

Singer Frank Sinatra and actress Lauren Bacall attend a party for the musical 'Pal Joey' on October 10, 1957 in Los Angeles, California.

Peggy Connelly suspected that Frank and Bacall began an affair before Bogart died. "Frank loved Bogart", she said, "but this woman was just something else". The affair with Peggy would last for much of 1957. Frank even proposed again, but she again declined. She wanted to pursue her singing career, moreover, and he did not want her to work.

Bogart did not know about his wife's "real relationship" with Frank, Verita Thompson said. The actor William Campbell, however, thought Bogart had been uneasy on that score. "That's the way I picked it up... Because there was some relationship there, more on her part than his. And I think Bogart was aware of it". Bogart was still worrying about it only months before he died.

In January 1957, in his last hours of full consciousness, Bogart watched Frank's 1945 movie Anchors Aweigh on television. When he died, thirty-six hours later, Frank was in New York playing the Copacabana. He canceled performances and locked himself in his room, avoiding calls from everyone except Bacall". -"Sinatra: The Life" by Anthony Summers (2006)
