Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
AskMen.com has released the names of the winners of their Most Desirable Women poll. Usually when I hear the words “poll” and “women” my mind automatically goes to strippers. Alas, none of the ladies on the list are currently working the night shift at the Bill’s Boobie Bungalow.
Sofia Vergara should have won first place, but somehow readers where impressed by a ‘Gossip Girl.’ Sure. Why not?
If you were one of the few willing to shell out an arm and a leg to go to the movies over the holiday weekend, you were probably either seeing Tom Cruise’s Napoleon complex in ‘Mission Impossible’ or Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law engaging in thinly veiled notes of man-love in ‘Sherlock Holmes.’

My Guess: For some reason the entire cast of ‘Glee‘ singing ‘It’s Raining Men’ popped into my head. If I had to pick just one…Chris Colfer is too obvious so I am going with Darren Criss.
You may have never heard of Rooney Mara, but that’s not going to last long. The virtually unknown actress has landed one of the most sought after roles in Hollywood today: Lisbeth Salander.
If you are asking who the hell that his, then you’ve probably never heard of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ or it’s two counterparts published after the demise of author Stieg Larsson.
Two of the books have already been made into films in Sweden, but director David Fincher will be taking the lead with Mara and Daniel Craig starring in the English language version of the films.
Via Deadline:
“Rooney was considered Fincher’s first choice in the process: the director had just helmed her in The Social Network. Closing a deal will amount to a formality, because Mara essentially agreed to terms when she and other young actresses signed on to tests that Fincher and producer Scott Rudin have conducted over the past several weeks. Her deal includes an option for two sequels that will cover The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest, the second and third books in the Millennium Trilogy by the late author Stieg Larsson. The books continue the same murder conspiracy storyline.”
It is anticipated that the film will be released at Christmas time, 2011.

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.
