Sarah Lane and Natalie Portman ‘Black Swan’ Feud

Just in time for the DVD release of ‘Black Swan’ comes a celebrity feud. Incredibly convenient no?

Sarah Lane was Natalie Portman’s body double in the ballet thriller (there’s two words I never thought would be used in conjunction), ‘Black Swan,’ is crying IMMA VICTIM! Lane is a soloist from the American Ballet Theatre who claims she did 95% of the dancing seen on the film. Natalie has been given the credit for the work and Sarah is throwing a big NOPE at the producer’s and the film’s choreographer/Natalie’s fiancé/baby daddy, Benjamin Millepied.

Via EW:

“Of the full body shots, I would say 5 percent are Natalie. All the other shots are me. The shots that are just her face with arms, those shots are definitely Natalie. But that doesn’t show the actual dancing. They wanted to create this idea in people’s minds that Natalie was some kind of prodigy or so gifted in dance and really worked so hard to make herself a ballerina in a year and a half for the movie, basically because of the Oscar,” says Lane. “It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me. I’ve been doing this for 22 years…. Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you’re a movie star? I mean, from a professional dancer’s standpoint, she doesn’t look like a professional ballet dancer at all and she can’t dance in pointe shoes. And she can’t move her body; she’s very stiff,” says Lane. “I do give her a lot of credit because in a year and a half she lost a lot of weight and she really tried to go method and get into a dancers head and really feel like a ballet dancer.”

The future Mr. Portman disagrees and threw some shade while trying to convince everyone it was Natalie.

“There are articles now talking about her dance double [American Ballet Theatre dancer Sarah Lane] that are making it sound like [Lane] did a lot of the work, but really, she just did the footwork, and the fouettés, and one diagonal [phrase] in the studio,” he said. “Honestly, 85 percent of that movie is Natalie.”

Since then, the filmmakers have also added their claims that Natalie did most of the work and Sarah is a liar, liar tutu on fire.

“We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did. However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film.”

I am sure Natalie shrugged and said, “Whateves, I’m gonna go polish my Oscar.”

Disneys’ “The Princess And The Frog”

Oh this looks fantastic! DisneysThe Princess and the Frog” is an animated family feature film loosely based on E.D. Baker’s novel “The Frog Princess” and the Grimm brothers’ “The Frog Prince.” Set in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a prince named Naveen from the land of Maldonia is transformed into a frog by the evil scheming voodoo magician Dr. Facilier. The frog prince mistakes a girl named Tiana for a princess and has her kiss him to break the spell. While the kiss doesn’t break the spell, it instead turns Tiana into a frog, too. Together, the two of them must reach the good voodoo priestess of the Bayou, Mama Odie, while befriending a trumpet-playing alligator and a hopelessly romantic firefly along the way. The film will open in limited release in New York and Los Angeles on November 25th before expanding into wide release on December 11th.

The film’s soundtrack “The Princess and the Frog: Original Songs and Score” will be released November 23rd. It contains seven instrumental pieces and ten original songs, including the pop theme song “Never Knew I Needed” contributed by Ne-Yo. The music video for the song is directed by Melina and will premiere online in the near future. Four time Grammy Award Winning composer Randy Newman also composed and directed the rest of the songs on the album.

Anika Noni Rose (the voice of Princess Tiana) and Walt Disney Pictures is giving fans an early treat with a sneak peak of the soundtrack to “The Princess and the Frog.” Watch the exclusive featurette above to hear some of the movies’ music and to learn why Princess Tiana’s song will set her apart from past princesses. You can also listen to exclusive snippets from the soundtrack here, then head on over to Amazon to preorder your copy of what will surely be one of the years best movie soundtracks.

There’s no way this won’t be an awesome movie and a beautiful soundtrack. The feeling I get anticipating this film and seeing the warmth put into it is indescribable. This is what Disney is all about.

‘New Moon’ 10 New Spoilers With Pictures!

taylor-lautner-jacob-black-shirtless-2

Oh my I think I’ve just gone to heaven!! With 44 days & some-odd hours and counting til the “Twilight Series: New Moon” movie hits theaters, we’re now starting to find out a few more juicy tidbits about the upcoming film, along with a ton of up-until-now unreleased photographs hitting the net. These amazing pictures come from the recently released “New Moon Illustrated Companion,” and with around 95 or so photographs, they are hot enough to keep you occupied until November 20th. (You can see all the photographs released here.)

Some spoilers are making the rounds too, and they are sure to make Twi-hards even more excited about the upcoming movie. While none of them are considered ‘major’ spoilers, I do suggest you stop reading now and just gaze at the photographs for hours on end if you don’t want to be spoiled at all. If you’re curious like me and you cannot wait until November, then continue reading below!

Spoiler #1: When screenplay writer Melissa Rosenberg was writing the scripts, she tried to keep the fan base out of her head, but she couldn’t avoid it by the time of New Moon. She gave the men in Port Angeles motorcycles to make it a more “significant moment” and because motorcycles will become “an important part of her relationship with Jacob”.

Spoiler #2: While filming the breakup scene in the forest Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were being swarmed by mosquitos. In all the “vision” sequences Edward is wearing the same outfit he does when he said goodbye to Bella because that is the last memory she holds of him. As a sign that Bella is committed to Edward, her clothes are linked to his color wise. After he leaves she doesn’t pay much attention to her appearance.

Spoiler #3: The Cullen house used for “Twilight” was “a very specific house, and the only way out of that puzzle for us was to put portions of the story of New Moon in other parts of the house”. They scouted many locations for the Cullen house, but found one that was comparable enough with the house in Portland.

Spoiler #4: Robert quote: “The birthday scene at the Cullen house is like the ideal birthday party. The house is beautifully decorated and everyone is happy. Edward is looking at Bella and thinking that she can become part of his family and his life–that maybe this can work out the way he wants it to.” The sequence for the birthday party – Edward relates the history of the Volturi to Bella, she becomes wounded in the hand, and Edward faces off against Jasper.

Spoiler #5: They used the Blue Ray DVD of Twilight to help them with the age, color, texture and features of Bella’s house and room. They used the “Twilight Illustrated Companion” for help finding Bella’s truck.

Spoiler #6: Even the cameras used and their movements are done to show the relationship between the characters. One special challenge for the production team was how to convey Bella’s depression once Edward departs. In the books, the month pages do it (October, November, December, January.) In the film the passage of time is represented with visual effects. Bella sits in her chair in the bedroom and a camera circles around here while the seasons change outside her window.

Spoiler #7: Another shot manipulation, instead of Bella running to her truck and driving home after seeing the wolves in the meadow, she runs out of the woods and tells Charlie immediately that she saw them. The changes were made to make the scene more efficient.

Spoiler #8: When they are rebuilding the bikes there is a montage of scenes.

Spoiler #9: They wanted Jacob’s house to be “like a stepping stone into the forest world”. So it’s further from the heart of the reservation. Emily and Sam’s house is deeper in the forest, more separate from regular life.

Spoiler #10: Added to the movie, Jacob gives Bella a dreamcatcher. It stirs up emotions in all the major characters: Jacob says it will catch bad dreams. Edward is irritated that his rival gave Bella an intimate gift, and Charlie regrets that it stops working.

Ok, so there you have it Twi-hards! 10 Spoilers to keep you in limbo until the movie comes out. The passage of time in the book was very simple yet powerful. I like their approach to it for the movie. I got chills!

Jackson Rathbone Injured On “Eclipse” Set

jackson-rathbone-1

Oh no! There’s been an accident on the set of the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” set…. But settle down Twi-hards…. Its only minor and it wasn’t Robert Pattinson…. Its okay to breathe now and cancel your candlelight vigils! Jackson Rathbone, who plays Jasper Hale in the movies, has sustained a mild injury while filming the third instalment in the “Twilight” franchise during a fight-scene rehearsal on Tuesday. No word just yet on how he injured himself, but according to a statement from a rep for the film, he’s doing a-okay!

Per MTV:

“He’s fine and is back at work on the set of ‘Eclipse’ today,” says the rep.

As a precaution, he was driven to the hospital and checked out by a doctor. Rathbone has previously admitted to having a crush on new co-star Bryce Dallas Howard, so maybe if he’s lucky she’ll takes pity on him. If not, I’m sure there’s plenty of girls out there that wouldn’t mind doing so. I know I wouldn’t!

Scarlett Johansson Top Pick for Marilyn Monroe Movie

scarlett-johansson-as-marilyn-monroe

Lindsay Lohan is going to knocking back a few bottles of vitamin water (and by vitamin water I mean vodka chased with Tilex) once she hears this. Scarlett Johansson is currently the front runner to play Marilyn Monroe in the film “My Week With Marilyn.”

According to Popcrunch, the film will center around the diary of Colin Clark who took Monroe on a tour of London in 1957. He detailed their journey around the British capital focusing on stops at Queen Elizabeth’s private apartment at Windsor Castle.

Despite stripping off and recreating Marilyn’s infamous impromptu photoshoot, Lohan isn’t even in the running for the role. Kate Hudson, Amy Adams and Michelle Williams have also been named dropped as possible for the film.

Being that Scarlett is the only one that doesn’t have the boobs of a little boy, I am guessing she is a shoe in. However, I do love Amy Adams and Michelle Williams I think they’d look odd sporting a dress stuffed with tissues to emulate Monroe’s notorious curves, but can actually act. So, it’s a toss up between actual talent or actual boobs.

Emma Watson Hooks Up with Marilyn Manson

marilyn_mansonemma-watson

Harry Potter starlet, Emma Watson, strikes me as one of those girls who never says a naughty four letter word and sings to small furry woodland creatures in flowery meadows. So it is a bit of a shock to hear that she is hooking up with Marilyn Manson.

Watson is joining forces with the bloated prince of goth to rework the tale of Cinderella. She is said to be portraying the role of a princess in the project being penned by Manson. Emma has publicly stated that she has no “burning desire” to continue acting, but would if a project she felt strong enough about came up. Apparently, Marilyn has the goods.

Via: The Inquisitr:

“Emma really wants to show there’s more to her talents than playing Hermione Granger. She’s saw how Daniel Radcliffe managed to branch out into something completely different when he starred in ‘Equus’ and thinks this could do the same for her – after all, who’d guess she’s want to team with Marilyn Manson, of all people.”

Beats letting your goodies bounce all over Broadway I guess.
