Official Trailer For “Dare”

The 2009 Sundance Official Selection “DARE,” a feature film shot entirely in Philadelphia, follows 3 very different teenagers through the last semester of high school. Alexa (Emmy Rossum), the over-achieving good girl who longs to break out of her shell; Ben (Ashley Springer) the melancholy outsider; and Johnny (Zach Gilford), the rich, good-looking, seemingly perfect bad boy. But as all 3 will soon find out, even in the safe world of prep school in the suburbs, no one is who they appear to be. DARE is the first feature of screenwriter David Brind and director Adam Salky, and is produced by Mary Jane Skalski (The Station Agent, The Visitor) and Jason Orans (Goodbye Solo, 2009 Spirit Awards Nominee Producer of the Year). Rounding out the cast is Rooney Mara, Ana Gasteyer, Sandra Bernhard, and Tony Award winners Alan Cumming and Cady Huffman.

Per Movies On Demand:

“[Director Adam] Salky and writer David Brind earn kudos for their thoughtful take on shifting point of views among the three to take audience into the character’s different perspectives of their complicated lives whilst revealing several hidden layers to their personas.”

The film premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival in the Dramatic Competition Section, and was picked up for theatrical distribution by IMAGE Entertainment. “DARE” is an edgy coming-of-age story, in the tradition of “Saved,” “The Rules of Attraction,” and “Juno.” It opened in NYC & LA on Nov. 13th, and opened Dec. 4th in Philadelphia.

Josh Duhamel’s Stripper Mistress Passes Lie Detector Test – Video

It’s going to take a lot more than a simple denial from Josh Duhamel to make this stripper/cheating story go away! Nicole Forrester reportedly passed a test that was conducted by polygraph expert Kenneth E. Blackstone regarding her claims of their alleged fling. Blackstone went on to say that she was telling the truth when asked if she had sex with the actor. Forrester shared all the dirty details with an Atlanta radio station Monday morning, including her claim that they “did hook up and had lots of sex” and had a “really, really good time.” The interview was later taken off the station’s website following a cease and desist letter from Duhamel’s attorney, but they found loose-lipped Nicole’s story and the polygraph credible – so back up it went.

Per Huffington Post:

“The next morning, when I left, you know, he kissed me on the cheek, really sweet guy. I’m not lying about anything, and he’s just as guilty as I am.”

Forresters attorney Romin Alavi says that his client didn’t go to the National Enquirer with the story of her passionate night with Josh. Instead, they came looking for her.

Per Us:

“Josh bragged about what happened on the set of his movie [Life As We Know It], and someone called the Enquirer with the tip,” Alavi tells Us Weekly. “The Enquirer then came to Nicole.”

Unfortunately for Duhamel, more women are coming out of the woodwork claiming that they got it on with the actor, too. On Oct. 30, a woman named Serena called in to San Francisco’s JV on Wild 94.9 radio show to say that when a recently engaged Josh was filming the “Transformers” sequel at a New Mexico Air Force base in 2008, he slept with her best friend who was stationed there.

“She also said she knew two other people whom he hooked up with,” the program’s producer, Jon Manuel, tells Us Weekly.

Duhamels lawyer has of course denied these claims, and it seems like Fergie is standing firmly by her man for now. The ‘smile-for-the-press-so-we-look-happy’ couple were seen out on a dinner date in Atlanta the other night at Chops restaurant, which ironically is located next door to the St. Regis Hotel, where the stripper claims her rendezvous with Josh took place. I can totally buy the fact that a tv star and especially one as good looking as Josh would sleep with a stripper, but not one as old and ugly as her. I call total BS on this story. You say you got evidence? Did he leave a signed bottle of Pantene Pro-V Volume Mousse for Hair Volume & Lift behind? Or perhaps

Quotables:

Dlisted - “Josh should have at least made Nicole swear on a pair of exquisite lucite heels that she would never utter a word.”

Celebitchy - “Fergie just gave a one-sentence denial to Entertainment Tonight about the stripper stuff. She says: “”These allegations are nonsense.” That’s it? No humming of “Stand By Your Man”? Hmm…”
