Ashton Kutcher On A Steve Jobs' Biopic !

Ashton Kutcher was spotted in full character as Steve Jobs as he made his way to the set of the late Apple CEO's biopic in Los Angeles on Friday.

 

The 34-year-old "Two and a Half Men" star plays the visionary businessman during his younger years in a movie tentatively titled "Jobs: Get Inspired."

 

While Kutcher definitely looks the part, it remains to be seen if he can nail the role of a complicated man - part hippie, part driven businessman, part brilliant, and part crazy.

Ashton fits perfectly to the part concerning (only!) Steve Jobs' appearance but I seriously doubt about his acting abilities...What do you think? 

Are you excited or not?

Rihanna Stars In The "Fast And Furious" Blockbuster !

Rihanna has been cast in her second big screen blockbuster! This time she will portray a villain alongside Vin Diesel and The Rock in the new "Fast And The Furious" movie.

A source has told "The Sun" newspaper: "Rihanna impressed with her acting debut in "Battleship". Writers think she’ll be perfect for the role. Her character has plenty of bite and doesn’t take any prisoners — just like her in real life. It’s a step up the ladder for her and could lead to bigger action roles." 

It has to be mentioned that this will be the sixth move in the "Fast and Furious" franchise! This time the action will take place in the UK which works well since Rihanna is relocating to London to film a TV series. Now she’ll stay longer and complete the movie as well. Filming is due to start next month!

Rihanna is enthusiastic about the role because she’s desperate to hit it big as a Hollywood actress. She’s already been telling friends she’d love to play her idol Whitney Houston on film. Rihanna also wants to try her hand at comedy as well. She has been quoted as saying "I’ve always wanted to work with Seth Rogen. He is so funny. Even if he’s not in the film, all of his movies are funny. They’re the comedies I watch a thousand times, besides Borat of course, and everything that Sacha Baron Cohen does." 

"Fast And the Furious" may not win her an Oscar , but she is on the right track! Don't you think?

Hugh Jackman Absolutely Horrible on the set of "Les Misérables."

Hugh Jackman has never looked so ugly. Photogs snapped pics of Jackman in London looking like he's come upon some seriously hard times, but not need to worry, it's just some makeup and wardrobe magic at work on the set of "Les Misérables."

Jackman's starring as Jean Valjean in director Tom Hooper's big-screen adaption. Twitter user @showofhandsome seemed to have missed the point and retweeted the news with the #NOTHANDSOME hash tag. Be ready to watch how "bad" costars Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried look when this movie comes to theaters in December. Are you curious??

"21 Jump Street" Movie Remake And Johnny Depp's Cameo Appearance !

The late 1980's pop culture relic "21 Jump Street" was a primo specimen of a TV police procedural with a catchy hook: A team of fresh-faced cops work undercover as high school kids, reporting back to their tough/earnest boss at the address listed above.

It has to be mentioned that the hit series lasted for four years, and was remarkable innovative in its willingness to incorporate newsmaking social issues, such as AIDS, homophobia, and child abuse. But 25 years later, "21 Jump Street" the TV show is remembered primarily as the career kickstarter of Johnny Depp as a young actor with an obvious something. As it turns out, dim memories and a new generation of pop culture consumers work to the great advantage of "21 Jump Street" the movie: What this fast, cheeky, and hilarious portrayal of the original premise sacrifices in teachable moments, it makes up for in intelligent giddiness.

Shaped by the precocious comedic smarts of talent-on-a-roll Jonah Hill (who not only costars but also developed the story with Michael Bacall and is one of the executive producers), the movie develops into an action comedy with a tonal complexity that marks it as a very contemporary creative project. It's part homage and part wink at the past. It makes fun about high school but is also a sensitive sociological study of those crucial years. It bridges slapstick and action. It's quick-witted with its pop references. The highlight is that Johnny Depp makes a delightful cameo appearance!


On the surface, "21 Jump Street" follows the crime-fighting antics of odd-pair cop partners Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum). Their wonky dynamic is established in a perfectly placed opening flashback to 2005, when the two were real high school students , Schmidt the nervous nerd with a brain; Jenko the athletic, academically challenged coolio. Seven years later, when both police rookies are coincidentally assigned to an undercover,high schooler program, the duo are prepared to play out those same life scripts, until a mix-up alters fate. Schmidt is assigned a class schedule befitting a popular non-Einstein; Jenko is shuffled into advanced-placement chemistry. (''Ap-chemistry,'' he calls it, laboriously reading his course list.)

Given a do-over, the two get to reexperience those less than wonder years. They get to work issues out. And by the way they get to bust a drug ring fronted by a smart and famous guy played with oddball charisma by Dave Franco. (The curiosity isn't that he's the brother of James Franco; it's that he's so interestingly weird.)

 Underneath, "21 Jump Street" is a riot of risks that pay off, the biggest of which might be handing Tatum funny business. Tatum appears as a really funny, self-aware comic actor. Who could have ever imagined? Channing despite his famous toned abs and great looks is charming in his new role as a comedian!

And most surprising, those scenes where the smart actor, playing a ''dumb'' character who figures out he's not as dumb as he has always considered he is, fakes portraying a dumb guy to mess with his smart partner's head are kind of perfect. Also, Tatum can sustain a great Dumb Face.

Under the limber direction of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ("Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs"), and working from a screenplay by Bacall , a script jammed, by the way, with so many oinky references to male reproductive equipment, Hill and Tatum play their Mutt-and-Jeff act against a supporting cast equally fast on their feet.

A refresher viewing of any old "Jump Street" episode may sharpen your appreciation for the kind of earnest '80s-TV police captain that Ice Cube is tweaking in his funky turn as Schmidt and Jenko's boss, but the joke is equally welcome without the historical background. Explaining why he's assigning Schmidt and Jenko to shutting down the school drug ring after the passing of one student, the captain tells it true: ''This kid is white, so people actually give a s---.'' There's room for laughs and truth at this newly reopened address.

Are you excited about 21 Jump Street remake?

Kristen Stewart Leaves Behind "Twilight" For Good !

Kristen Stewart may be a superstar thanks to "Twilight", but  she is  also a little "broody." This makes her perfect for the new movie "On the Road", based on the Jack Kerouac novel of the same name. It has to be mentioned though that Stewart is baring all in the new movie. 

Though it might anger some fans, the fact is, it is probably a good career move for Stewart if she wants to be taken more seriously.

 

She looks good and she looks cool and the movie looks cool. Most of all, she is leaving "Twilight" behind her. She opens a new chapter in her film career. Hope my guess is wrong but I have the feeling that most "Twilight" fans have never heard of Kerouac, let alone spent their adolescence reading "On the Road" and pining for his life.

Stewart seems like the latter kind of woman, so good for her.

By making the decision to star in this movie, Stewart is undoubtedly doing the usual "I'm all grown up now" move. Good for her!

Personally, I can't wait to see the movie. What about you?

Michael Douglas Tackles Greed For FBI - VIDEO

Actor Michael Douglas has filmed a new public service announcement for the FBI that plays on his character Gordon Gekko from the film "Wall Street."

In 1987, Douglas won an Oscar for his portrayal of the fictional Gekko. Douglas and writer-director Oliver Stone constructed the villainous Gekko character as a cautionary tale of the excesses of corporate greed. But in the quarter century since the film's release, Gekko's infamous "greed is good" speech has become a rallying cry of many working on Wall Street.

But now, Douglas is playing on the character's fame to warn about the dangers of insider trading. The PSA begins with a clip from "Wall Street" before transitioning to a present-day Douglas, who says:


"Hello, I'm Michael Douglas. In the movie "Wall Street," I played Gordon Gekko, a greedy corporate executive who cheated to profit while innocent investors lost their savings.

"The movie was fiction, but the problem is real. Our economy is increasingly dependent on the success and the integrity of the financial markets. If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is."

FBI Special Agent David Chaves states "Bloomberg News" that Douglas wanted to do something to help combat what he considers as a misguided culture on Wall Street. Chaves says Douglas told him people working on Wall Street often approach him, offering a "high-five" for his portrayal of Gekko.

"We thought one of the most revered actors of our time would be a great voice for combating crime on Wall Street," Chaves claimed.


An often-overlooked fact from "Wall Street" is that the Gekko character never says the phrase, "greed is good." While passionately arguing for a business structure in which corporations are operated by the actual shareholders who have a direct stake in the company, Gekko declares, "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."

This is also not the first time Douglas has revisited the Gekko character. In 2010, Douglas and Stone reunited for a "Wall Street" sequel. While critics praised Douglas' performance (he was nominated for a "Golden Globe" for best supporting actor), the film was largely considered a critical and commercial disappointment.

Jean Dujardin's Oscar Acceptance Speech

And the Oscar went to: Jean Dujardin!!!

Dujardin bested a field that included Clooney's pal Brad Pitt ("Moneyball"), veteran actor / first time nominee Gary Oldman ("Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy") and Mexican-born Demian Bichir ("A Better Life"). It has to be mentioned that "The Artist" also took home awards in two other major categories, Best Director and Best Picture.

The 39-year-old French actor and comedian spent this awards season accumulating victories at the AACTA, BAFTA, Cannes, the Golden Globes, Hollywood Film Festival, Independent Spirit Awards and several critical associations. Wow!!!

 Dujardin had prepared  his speech, which some may find as overly confident, "I love your country!" he exclaimed on stage. "Thank you to the academy. It's funny because in 1929 it wasn't Billy Crystal, but Douglas Fairbanks who hosted the first Oscar ceremony. Tickets cost five dollars and it lasted 15 minutes. Times have changed. So, thank you Douglas Fairbanks."

The highlight of his Oscar winning speech  was when Jean Dujardin screamed at the end:" "Putain, genial, formidable, merci!" which its expressive equivalent is: Damn/sh**, super/brilliant, amazing/tremendous, thank you! Literal translation: putain = "whore" but the use of it is closer to the way one would say, "damn/sh**" in English. You can tell how he was overcome by excitement! I don't blame him...! And as that was not enough Dujardin wasn't quite ready to leave the stage when he finished his speech, so he hung out on stage, dancing and rejoicing as poor Natalie Portman stood by uncomfortably.

Why does this remind me of Sacha Baron Cohen's behaviour??One can easily compare Ryan Seacrest to Natalie Portman...There were "victims" of spontaneity! Even the producers even cut awkwardly to the musicians in the balconies. OMG! Where is their sense of humor? Besides, who said that spontaneity is a no-no at the Academy Awards? Oscars are supposed to be a celebration!

 Wonder what' was "The Artist"'s secret of success??

"Key to the success of "The Artist" is the work of its two French stars," wrote the "Los Angeles Times"Kenneth Turan. "Dujardin and [Bérénice] Bejo, bursting off the screen like irrepressible Roman candles, give performances that are both subtle and incandescent, reminding us of the truth of silent star Norma Desmon's famous '"Sunset Blvd." line, '"We didn't need dialogue. We had faces." " 

Besides, this is what acting should be about! Don't you think??

Sacha Baron Cohen Causes Red Carpet Chaos And Ryan Seacrest Is Unhappy - VIDEO

Sacha Baron Cohen through his "Dictator" persona has caused chaos on the Oscars red carpet, following a legendary face-off with the Academy over his attendance in full military garb.

It all appeared to be going so good. General Admiral Aladeen aka Sacha Baron Cohen was happily giving red carpet host Ryan Seacrest details about his red carpet outfit:

"Hello Death to the West, I'm wearing John Galliano, with socks by K-Mart. As my friend Saddam Hussein once said to me, socks are socks. Don’t waste money."


But there was an ominous urn in his hands, with the face of North Korean late dictator Kim Jong-il on the front. And so the Dictator carried on:
"It gave me an opportunity to bring my dear friend and double standards partner Kim Jong-il - it was his dream to come to the Oscars and be spread over the red carpet and Halle Berry’s chest again..."


And then it all went haywire, as the Dictator appeared to trip, and the contents of the urn - about a hundred ashtrays' worth of powder, later reported to be likely to be pancake mix - went all over the thousand-dollar Burberry suit of a mortified Seacrest, who struggled to keep his composure.

The Dictator was unabashed, comforting Seacrest: "You can say you are wearing Kim Jong-il" - before he was unceremoniously bundled off by security.

Seacrest addressed the camera and his co-presenters: "I had a feeling he was up to something, I just didn't know what form it would take..." 

Poor Ryan...Sacha is so unpredictably hilarious and spontaneous that makes people to get out of their comfort zone...He just can't help it no matter what his alter ego is!

Meryl Streep Oscar Acceptance Speech

Meryl Streep won the third Academy Award of her career on Sunday night, for her role as Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady". This was Streep’s 17th nomination. She was given a standing ovation by the crowd, and pleaded with them to stop cheering and sit down the second she got to the microphone.

"When they called my name," she joked, "I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, "Oh no! Oh come on, why her? Again!" "


Streep, who seemed to fight back her tears at a few points during her speech, began by thanking her husband, Don, because, she reasoned, "When you thank your husband at the end of the speech, they play him out with the music." She then thanked J. Roy Helland, who won an Oscar earlier in the evening for his makeup work on the film. Helland and Streep have worked together for 37 years, and she told the story of how they met at her first play in New York City, and have worked together on every one of her movies ever since. . 

What do you think? Did Meryl deserve the Oscar?

Of course, she did!

Rihanna's Movie Debut !!!

Rihanna is no stranger to showing off her gorgeous figure to get attention.

But just looking at the photos from her upcoming movie "Battleship" it looks like Rihanna can still bring sexiness to the table , even when she's completely covered up.

Rihanna is seen looking serious and determined in the shot, which shows her lining up for action amongst her Navy colleagues.

Rihanna stars as US Navy officer Raikes in the film, which also stars Liam Neeson, Alexander Skaarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Taylor Kitsch.

The movie sees a group of international navy ships come under attack from an alien enemy during an "international naval war games."

Discussing about her plans to make a name for herself in the movie business, Rihanna stated in a recent interview: "I love doing movies now. It's something I want to do more of"

"I just want to pick films that are wise for me and roles that I can pull off, nothing that is too big for me" Rihanna added.

And it seems Rihanna's confidence paid off, as "Battleship" director Peter Berg raved about the singer's performance in the big-screen adventure during an interview with MTV News earlier this month.


He said: "She was great. She has a very strong part. I was surprised no one had ever thought to hire Rihanna. I was a huge fan of her videos."

"Obviously she's sexy, but she had this real intensity. I'm like, "Someone's going to get her." '

Berg added: '"I've always believed in musicians as actors. I had great success with Tim McGraw in Friday Night Lights and The Kingdom."

"Musicians have been acting since Frank Sinatra won an Oscar for "From Here to Eternity"."

"Barbra Streisand, Kris Kristofferson, the late Whitney Houston, I thought, was tremendous in "The Bodyguard". As recently as Mariah Carey in "Precious", she was great."
