"Neither CBS nor Warner Bros. has said whether Men ("Two and a half Men" series) will return for a ninth season, but industry speculation is that the show will almost certainly return. And talent representatives say Warners has quietly begun pursuing an actor to appear on the series next season. Who that actor will be has become Topic A in Hollywood. Speculation has ranged from the plausible to the peculiar, with names from Woody Harrelson to Jeremy Piven to Bob Saget being bandied about. A Warners spokesperson says none of those actors is in contention.

While a new cast member wouldn’t make “Sheen money” -- in the $1.2 million realm per episode -- slipping into television's No. 1 sitcom would earn an actor a rate well above the usual freshman series fee, one observer says. But the role would come with intense pressure as blame could be placed on the newcomer if the revamped show flops. Others have suggested Men might consider a "roommate" scenario, with multiple stars appearing in one or a few episodes to fill the Sheen void". Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com

Entertainment Weekly ‘Breaking Dawn’: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart & Taylor Lautner

Esme (Elizabeth Reaser) greets members of the Denali (from left, Maggie Grace, Casey LaBow and MyAnna Buring) at Bella and Edward’s wedding.
Bella enjoys ”morning-after” eggs courtesy of new husband Edward on Isle Esme. ”I like the honeymoon scenes,” Robert Pattinson says, ”because it’s such a massive turnaround in Edward and Bella’s relationship.”Jacob receives his invitation to the wedding. ”He’s still getting over losing out on Bella,” says Taylor Lautner. ”By the end he’s able to accept it and deal with it like a man.”

"As the stars and director tell EW, Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 (in theaters November 18 and November 2012) involved a grueling, globe-trotting shoot, and scenes far darker, bloodier, and more polarizing than any in the franchise so far. If audiences haven’t matured with the Twilight books, they’re about to grow up fast. “We shot everything — whether it’s the lovemaking or the childbirth — as potent and powerful as it can be,” says director Bill Condon, who knew he was working within the constraints of a PG-13 rating. “It will be interesting to see whether there will be people who think it too disturbing for this universe.” For her part, Stewart wishes the movie could have been even truer to the graphic nature of the book — not so much the honeymoon sequence (“It feels like a real love scene, not necessarily vampire-y, which is good”), but the brutal birth of the baby, Renesmee. “It’s funny because when [the PG-13 issue] comes up, everybody thinks it’s all about the sex,” she says. “The birth is really effective, and I’ve heard it really hits you in the face. But what it could have been? It could have been shocking and grotesque, because that’s how it was written in the book.” She sighs: “I would have loved to have been puking up blood.” Source: www.breakingdawnmovie.org

Robert Pattinson voted Hollywood's best boyfriend, talks about love at first sight


Robert Pattinson talks about love at first sight MTV Interview

"Twilight" star Robert Pattinson has been voted Hollywood's best boyfriend. He's smoking hot, charming, and talented, but it's his devotion to girlfriend Kristen Stewart that makes fans love him even more.

"Robert Pattinson has been named the best boyfriend in Hollywood by website Hollywood Life, and it's easy to see why. Rob is so laid back, and obviously very in love with Kristen Stewart. The "Runaways" actress is a lucky young lady, as she's bagged one of the hottest actors.
Pattinson has constantly gone out of his way to make his girl happy. (Why can't all guys be like that?) He's whisked her away on romantic getaways, bought her expensive gifts, and kept quiet about their relationship due to her shyness. Robert Pattinson is easily the best boyfriend in Hollywood. Hopefully Kristen Stewart realizes what a gem she has and holds on to it". Source: celebs.gather.com

"Source Code": The highlight of the film is Gyllenhaal’s performance

"Michelle Monaghan gave another solid performance. Unlike anything she has done before, she uses the vulnerability of the character through the innocence of her not knowing the situation, that Christina Warren becomes charming and enticing.
Michelle Monaghan and Jake Gyllenhaal in Film TV (Italy) magazine

The romance in the film is a lot more complicated than in other films. They're falling for each other but can't see each other any further, because he is not in his true body and persona. You see the source code works by having someone link to a recently deceased person's brain. A certain area of the brain can reveal and put you into his or hers life to relive the last eight minutes of their life. Which in the case of this film, can lead to a murderer or bomber in the end. So Captain Stevens is asked to go into the last eight minutes of a certain man's last dying breaths, to hopefully identify the bomb and even the bomber and prevent a future attack. The continuation of the story is superbly crafted. It seems as if every time he goes back into the deceased man's mind each layer of mystery and questions gets lifted uncovering more and more uncertainties on both sides of Captain Stevens mind leading to a conclusion that no one ever expects".

"The highlight of the film is Gyllenhaal’s performance. He brings a human side to all the proceedings, and gives the character a level of emotional depth not seen in most action movies. Although the film only runs about 90 minutes, the audience truly gets to know the inner workings of Captain Stevens. His specific problems and emotions are seamlessly integrated into the film without taking away from the thrilling tone. I must say after some of his films, such as Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, I doubted Gyllenhaal’s abilities as a leading man. But his tender representation of a man who is given enormous responsibility proved he can act, and I believe he will be an actor to keep a close eye on in the future.

Source Code also works as a smart thriller. The action is never-ending and the overall plot oozes with tension. Gyllenhaal’s character repeatedly is thrown into situations in which he is racing against the clock, and each time he discovers something new about his surroundings. The short running time of the film, coupled with the fast pace, results in a complete lack of dull moments. For all you Shyamalan fans, there are a couple twists thrown into the mix that certainly caught me off guard. Throw in a couple of good supporting performances from Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright, and you’ve got yourself a top-notch thriller". Source: www.cavalierdaily.com

Smoking on the silver screen, harder to find

Still of Bradley Cooper and Abbie Cornish in "Limitless" (2011)

If the health unit has developed a standard for what constitutes “necessary” tobacco use in Hollywood productions, it’s not clear. The obvious objection is that tobacco use, necessary or not, hasn’t been much of a factor on the silver screen lately.

In March and so far in April, five films have topped the North American box office — Hop, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Limitless, Battle: Los Angeles and Rango. Of these, only one has been flagged by the Ontario Film Review Board as containing tobacco use. And it was Limitless: If you blinked and missed the film, it stars Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper — performers who do not have any sort of pull with younger movie fans.
“They’re at the age where they’re trying to define themselves,” Yateman says of the teens who report that they began smoking after seeing a character light up in a feature film.
If there are any teens in this province who are idolizing Robert De Niro’s work in Limitless, I have yet to meet them. The truth is that, as in society at large, smoking on the silver screen is getting harder and harder to find.

Putting pressure on the film-review board — which also has no standard of “necessary” tobacco use, nor necessary violence nor necessary sexual content — is, at best, an indirect way for the health bureaucracy to achieve its goal. That the health unit would target the big screen in the age of the Internet is also puzzling". Source: www.lfpress.com
