Leonardo DiCaprio Talks About Sex with Kate Winslet

August 10, 2010 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

And by sex he means acty dry humping. Kate may have one less Christmas card to send out on. Leonardo DiCaprio is talking about having sex with Kate Winslet and the ruin of her marriage to Sam Mendes like a little girl squealing about a Jonas Brother concert.

Kate’s husband directed the film ‘Revolutionary Road‘ which reunited Winslet and DiCaprio after their blockbusting “Titanic” onscreen romance. According to an interview Leo did with Reveal, Kate was “freaked out” by Mendes’ lack of distress when it came to directing sex scenes that featured his acting wife with another man.

Per Reveal Via Sydney Morning Herald:

“It was certainly a difficult time. She was really worried that Sam wasn’t bothered by the fact that his wife was making out with another guy right in front of her. I told her it was only acting, but she kept on saying, ‘This is really weird’.

“When Sam started telling her exactly how to have sex with me she didn’t like it at all. She was freaking out because she was supposed to be having sex with her best friend – me – while her husband directed. But I didn’t find it weird at all. It didn’t bother me, because that’s part of acting.”

I find this an odd story about your “friend” to share. Was he confused and thought he was in a confessional?

Summit Wants Chris Weitz To Direct A Two-Part ‘Breaking Dawn’

December 1, 2009 By Holly Stafford 5 Comments

Now that “New Moon” is breaking box office records, “Twilight” fans are looking beyond “Eclipse” and more-so to “Breaking Dawn.” Though there has been no official confirmation of “Breaking Dawn,” the fact that it appeared as a tab on the official “Twilight Saga” movie website back in July has always indicated to us that the movie would indeed be made. To us, the only questions have been when and where. But the major questions surrounding “Breaking Dawn” seem to be over which director will helm the final “Twilight Saga” film and will it be made into one or two movies? How about bringing back a previous “New Moon” director for “Breaking Dawn?” That’s what Kristen Stewart was thinking when she suggested Chris Weitz return for the final installment.

Per MTV:

“I think Chris Weitz should do it,” she said. “I had such a good experience with him on ‘New Moon.’ He was so considerate there and passionate and compassionate. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met in my life.”

Shooting has already wrapped on “Eclipse,” the third movie in the vampire saga, and now speculation is increasing over how Summit Entertainment plan to approach Stephanie Meyer’s final “Twilight” novel. Sources are saying that Summit plans to split the final book into two separate movies, to be shot back to back, and would likely continued to be scripted by Melissa Rosenberg – but Meyer must first approve the two-movie decision.

Per MTV:

“They might pull the ‘Harry Potter,’” Jeff Bock said, referring to the two-part split of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the final book in that series. “And don’t be surprised if they do. [Summit] would be hard-pressed not to put ['Breaking Dawn'] out next December, because there’s just too much money to be made right now. Then it gets really interesting, do they do spin-offs. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of rights Summit has, because I am sure they’re chomping at the bit to extend this franchise as far as they can.”

“Variety” magazine also speculates the franchise’s stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner could benefit from a bigger paycheck from the films if “Breaking Dawn” is officially given the green light, receiving payment in the 8-figure range. However, Summit would have to reopen negotiations with the stars if the movie is broken down into two separate ones, as they are only signed on to do four films. It is also being speculated that Chris Weitz will be asked to return to the directors chair. Although no official offer has been made as of yet, sources say the job is his if he wants it. But will Weitz commit to the back-to-back films, which are sure to keep him away from his family for several months? I’m sure Summit is preparing to empty their wallets on this one in order to line up the correct pieces.

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James Fighting a Porn Star

November 5, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Miss Congeniality herself is in a custody battle with her husband’s porn star ex. Sandra Bullock and her husband Jesse James are fighting his ex-girlfriend for custody of his daughter, Sunny. Jesse and the child’s mother, Janine Lindemulder, split when she was 7 months pregnant with their daughter. Bullock is trying to prove that she is a better parent for her husband’s daughter than the girl’s mother, an adult film star and director, who has just served six months in prison for tax evasion. Lindemulder was released last month and now is living in a halfway house, while James had been awarded sole custody of Sunny. She can seek custody at the end of the year.

Per E!:

“What would give her the right to take away my daughter?” Lindemulder said of Bullock, toward whom the majority of her ire seems directed. “This is my daughter. I’m the best mother I can be.”

James is determined not to let his ex gain custody of their daughter because, according to court papers he fears his little girl would be introduced to a dangerous world if she lived with her mother. The current dispute has arisen as the couple claims they have seen suspicious marks and bruises when she arrived at their home after Lindemulders’ visition.

Per The Morung Express:

“Good cause exists for the court to conduct a review to determine if (the girl) will be safe with (Lindemulder),” James said in a statement to the court. “She should be restrained from allowing the child around pornographers, drug addicts, guns and firearms, felons and other unsafe environments.”

James also has two older kids from his first marriage, and Sandra has said that she’s very happy being an involved stepmother, saying that she feels “very blessed.” The couple also have some concerns over Lindemulders new boyfriend Jeremy Aikman, who has several past state and federal convictions involving alcohol, guns and the manufacturing of narcotics. Lindemulder reportedly sent a text message to James when she was charged last year, telling him “U WIN. Sandra has her baby congrats,” even though she acknowledges Sandra for being an “excellent mother” who genuinely cares for her daughter.

Per E!:

“I know the term ‘stepmother’ carries many connotations, one of them being a ‘glorified babysitter,’ ” she writes. “My commitment and responsibility to Sunny, and Chandler and Jesse Jr., goes beyond that. We are FULLY prepared to accept the responsibility and make Sunny’s transition as healthy as possible if full custody should be awarded to Jesse…We are here, and know we may have a tough road ahead of us but we have built a strong and stable foundation, which makes us ready for anything.”

Jesse James and Lindemulder are equally unimpressive. Asking a judge to look at the home of the mother who has just been released from jail sounds pretty reasonable to me. I feel for Sandra in this situation. Being a step-parent in a blended family is a difficult situation. Does poor Sandra stand a chance against the devil’s crowd?

‘New Moon’ Nudity War

August 3, 2009 By Holly Stafford 6 Comments

Movie Trailers – Movies Blog

New Moon… Nudity… did anyone else’s heart just skip a beat? Actor Jamie Campbell Bower told MTV that New Moon will feature a scene unlike any other Twilight moment – three cast members will get completely naked. Nope, you didn’t read that wrong. I said completely naked!

Per MTV:

“We just all sit there, completely naked, for one scene,” revealed “New Moon” actor Jamie Campbell Bower, talking about a racy moment that was added into the upcoming film. “Yeah, it’s me, Michael Sheen and Christopher [Heyerdahl]; we just sit there, naked.”

Are you kidding me? Are you serious?? In the film, Bower plays Caius, an evil member of the Volturi vampire clan while Sheen plays their leader Aro and Heyerdahl plays Marcus. In the scene a fully clothed Dr. Carlisle, played by Peter Facinelli, visits the Volturi and stumbles upon the three in a bathhouse.

Per MTV:

“It’s a full-body shot, and then Peter comes in, and it all gets a bit awkward,” Bower said. “[Carlisle] is clothed completely. They’re bathing in sort of a Roman bath kind of thing.”

Wait… what? I don’t remember this from the book. It sounds hot… but a little hard to believe! And apparently, with good reason! It just simply does not happen – in the book, or the movie! At least, according to director Chris Weitz, who seems a tad bit infuriated by Bowers’ statements and has released a statement debunking Bower’s claim of any such scene.

Per Twilight Source:

Dear all,

I would like to put everyone’s mind at rest and let them know that the Volturi are not naked! Jamie (Campbell-Bower) has what you might call a dry sense of humor and almost managed to convince me — which is why he’s such a good actor. Anyway, be assured that, even though we do want the look of the Volturi to be a bit of a surprise, they are always — as in the book! — fully clothed.

best,
Chris Weitz

Shame on you Jamie!! You broke one of the ten Twi-Commandments – Thou shall not give us false information/hope! Darn that dry British humor… But fear not, Twi-hards – There will still be plenty of male flesh on the screen in the form of Taylor Lautners’ Jacob taking off his shirt, and Robert Pattinsons’ Edward with his porcelain-white chiseled abs! Now that right there is better than naked Volturi anyday!

David Slade Set To Direct Third ‘Twilight’ Film: ‘Eclipse’

April 23, 2009 By Crista Webster 2 Comments

Another day, another “Twilight” story. This franchise sure knows how to enjoy the limelight.

Summit Entertainment announced today that David Slade has won the coveted director’s job for the third installment of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”. If you recall, Summit kicked around a few names before deciding on Slade, including actress turned director Drew Barrymore.

For those of you who may not know David Slade, he has a few directing jobs under his belt including the picture “30 Days of Night” about an Alaskan town that is ravaged by none other than vampires. I am sure Summit took this into consideration when they chose Slade for “Eclipse” which focuses further on the love triangle between Bella, played by Kristen Stewart, Jacob, played by Taylor Lautner, and Edward who Is portrayed by my lover, Robert Pattinson. OK. He isn’t my lover… yet. If the movie sticks with the same storyline as the book, the trio also has to deal with a bevy of newborn vampires who are set on attacking the good folks of Seattle.

Via Empire Online:

“Slade is certainly an interesting choice to follow Chris Weitz and Catherine Hardwicke behind the camera. With ‘30 Days Of Night’ and the excellent ‘Hard Candy’ on his CV, he’s proved that he can handle tougher material and splash the odd bucket of blood where necessary.”

“Hard Candy” is a crazy good flick. It stars an even younger than “Juno” Ellen Page who decides to turn the tables on a man whom she believes to be a pedophile.

“Eclipse” is set to hit theaters June 10, 2010.

Drew Barrymore to Direct Third “Twilight” Film: “Eclipse”

February 27, 2009 By Crista Webster 9 Comments

As The Dame reported to you last week, “New Moon” director, Chris Weitz will not direct the third “Twilight” film “Eclipse” due to time constraints (i.e. Summit Entertainment is pushing hard for the third movie to be released during the prime summer 2010 season against such films as “The Avengers” and the final “Harry Potter” film).

Summit announced today that they are already talking to a select group of directors to take control of “Eclipse” and one of those people is actress turned director (and former rehab star) Drew Barrymore.

Via EW.com:

“While this news may come as a surprise to some, Barrymore did just finish work on her directorial debut, ‘Whip It!’ starring Ellen Page.”

Choosing Drew is a bad choice on behalf of Summit. Not only does Barrymore only have the one film under her director’s belt, but “Whip It” is a movie about women in a Roller Derby, not even close to vampire armies and werewolves that will require use of CGI and other special effects. Perhaps she should stick to her day job of starring in chick-flicks and peddling Cover Girl mascara to the masses.

Chris Weitz Will Not Direct “Eclipse”

February 20, 2009 By Crista Webster 2 Comments

Holy “Twilight” drama Batman! Just when we thought the big news surrounding the next installment of the “Twilight Saga” was the release of the art and official title, Summit Entertainment drops another bombshell on the Twi-hards!

According to a source close to the production company, “New Moon” director Chris Weitz will not direct the third installment of the saga, “Eclipse”. Will the drama around these movies never end? Now I understand why Robert Pattinson looks so depressed in his paparazzi pictures and why Kristen Stewart spends her free time smoking down on her front porch.

Via EW.com:

“Because ‘New Moon’, which Weitz is helming, and ‘Eclipse’ are due to be released so close together (on Nov. 20, 2009, and June 30, 2010, respectively), Weitz will be in post-production on ‘New Moon’ at the same time that ‘Eclipse’ will be shooting.”

When did I miss the release date for the third movie? It must have been while I was finding the nipple pictures of Sparklepants. Darn it! I thought I was on top of things when it came to the “Twilight Saga.”

This also means that the two movies will not be shot back-to-back which had previously been reported. According to the source, there will be a brief gap in between the shooting of the two films. Hopefully, the gap will be long enough for a few of the cast members to complete stints in rehab and for Rob’s hair to grow back after he shaves it off again.

Who do you think should direct the third movie? Should they bring Catherine Hardwicke back?

Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart Entertainment Weekly – Photos

February 13, 2009 By Crista Webster 4 Comments

Calling all Twi-hards! I am sure all you “Twilight” fans are well aware that Little, Brown and Co. are releasing Catherine Hardwick’s “Twilight: A Director’s Notebook” on March 17, just four short days away from the release of the film on DVD.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, the good people at Entertainment Weekly have been nice enough to put our favorite movie vampire (and my personal love slave) Robert Pattinson on next week’s cover. Wait! Before your panties catch fire, I must warn you that Kristen Stewart is also on the cover…and the picture is old…and Sparklepants is fully dressed. Buyers beware.

However, the publisher of the “Director’s Notebook” was nice enough to release two pages from the book to here via Entertainment Weekly.

I must admit, it looks pretty cool. I am a sucker for anything “Twilight” related, not to mention anything Robert Pattinson related. This inevitably means I will be hitting up my local bookstore instead of my local bar on St. Patrick’s Day this year. Is this what it’s come to? Some people need 12 steps to cure their drinking problem; I apparently need only the promise of unseen pictures of Robert Pattinson. The man is a saint.

Taylor Lautner Losing ‘New Moon’ Role

January 1, 2009 By Cara Harrington 52 Comments

My friends over a Gossip Teen have reported new rumblings in the Taylor Lautner VS. Michael Copon for the role of Jacob Black. The “Twilight” sequel is getting off to a rough start. With a change up in the director’s change and rumors (which are complete crap) that Robert Pattinson has a drinking problem, “New Moon” will be a tumultuous project.

Taylor is desperately fighting to keep his role as Bella Swan’s best friend and second love interest, Jacob Black. However, Summit Entertainment is worried that he will not look old enough to carry off the transformation his character undergoes. Rumors that he has been replaced by Michael Copon to better fit the build of a 27 year old man have been running for months. The new director, Christopher Weitz is said to be leaning toward casting Copon as a replacement for Lautner.

Fans have voiced a very strong preference for Taylor. He has a large teen fan base that is a force to be reckoned with. But, as you might recall, when Robert Pattinson was cast as Edward Cullen fans of the “Twilight” saga were disappointed with the choice. Now ol’ Sparklepants is the new tween heroin.

But Lautner isn’t going quietly into the night. He has been packing on muscle and trying to shed his teenage physique. Taylor has had several meetings with Weitz to fight for his role as Jacob.
