Yes, that is a Jay-Z song you hear at the beginning of the trailer for ‘The Great Gatsby.’ “No Church in the Wild” to be exact.
Reese Witherspoon Weds Jim Toth
March 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Reese Witherspoon married her agent, Jim Toth, on Saturday. The two wed at Reese’s ranch estate in Ojai, California. A rep for Witherspoon confirmed to People the happy news.
The “Legally Blonde” starlet walked down the aisle to the traditional tune of “Here Comes the Bride” as the witnesses included Renee Zellweger, Sean Penn who escorted Scarlett Johansson, Tobey Maguire, Robert Downey Jr., Alyssa Milano and her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe. Her two children with Phillippe also took part in the nuptials.
Witherspoon wore a pale pink Monique Lhuillier gown. The ceremony lasted around 20 minutes and ended with an exchange of wedding bands designed by William Goldberg. The band will sit with her 4 carat Ashocka cut engagement ring also crafted by Goldberg.
Some are curious as to what her most recent ex was up to. Jake Gyllenhaal spent the evening bowling while Reese married Jim. He didn’t seem to be thinking too much about her as he and his friends, which included Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, drank Red Stripe beer and even did a celebratory dance after hitting a spare. He even spent some time making friends with a brunette in the next lane before being joined by Swedish model, Mini Anden. She joined the group at around 1 A.M. Jake coaxed her into bowling a few frames and even gave her a few lessons.

Carey Mulligan Nabs ‘Great Gatsby’ Role
November 16, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The adorable spokesperson for Best Western sweet potato fries has won the role that Abbie Cornish, Keira Knightley, Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman and Amanda Seyfried were all fighting over like it was the last cheeseburger on Earth. (Damn, now I am hankering for a double double. Stickers and 10 points to anyone who brings me one.) Carey Mulligan is Daisy Buchanan in the remake of ‘The Great Gatsby.’
Via Deadline:
Filmmaker Baz Luhrmann has found his Daisy Buchanan. He has officially given the starring role in The Great Gatsby to Carey Mulligan, the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Never Let Me Go star who’ll play the manipulative heroine when Luhrmann starts production on his adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald literary classic.
He called her on her cell phone to deliver the news that she will share the silver screen with Leonardo DiCaprio (Jay Gatsby) and Tobey Maguire (Nick Carraway). Carey was at the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Awards Dinner with Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour. She reportedly broke down in tears after finding out she was going to get to movie hump Leo. I am guessing Karl and Anna looked at her, rolled their eyes and gave a half-assed clap with a forced smile.

Andrew Garfield Cast As The Next ‘Spider-Man’
July 1, 2010 By 3 Comments
Sony Pictures has just confirmed by sending out a press release that British heartthrob Andrew Garfield has been cast as the next Spider-Man, scheduled to be released in July 2012 in 3D. The new film will begin production in early December, directed by Marc Webb and written by James Vanderbilt.
Per Washington Post:
“Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor’s work understand his extraordinary talents,” said director Webb in a gushing statement that was part of the same press release. “He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker.”
Garfield and Webb got the jobs after star Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi, who made three blockbuster “Spider-Man” films together, departed amid story and scheduling issues over a fourth movie. Among others who were said to be considered for the part were Josh Hutcherson, Jamie Bell, Anton Yelchin, and Aaron Johnson. Garfield most recently worked with director David Fincher on the upcoming film “The Social Network.” Other notable screen credits include “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus,” “Lions For Lambs” and “Boy A.”
What’s your thoughts on this interesting casting choice?

Robert Pattinson Shops for Action Film, Jackson Rathbone is Kid Friendly
March 26, 2010 By 3 Comments
Could Robert Pattinson be switching it up a bit – going from playing the heartthrob in movies to becoming to next big action star? Seems that way, as his ‘people’ are busy trying line up at least one top notch action flick for him to take on this year.
Per Examiner:
With all the rumors (and bogus ones at that) about Robert Pattinson possibly becoming the next James Bond or even starring in the upcoming fourth Spider-Man film, it seems there is definite interest within the Hollywood community to see Robert Pattinson take an action role.
While seeing Pattinson in the role of Bond? James Bond, 007, you know who I mean, would be interesting and quite the jump for his career, don’t look for it to happen anytime soon. During the London premiere of his movie “Remember Me,” Pattinson revealed that he’d entertain the role of James Bond if offered but also admitted that he isn’t very athletic and is “not good at running.” He also reminded the everybody that if the role of James Bond was offered, it wouldn’t be anytime soon saying, “Maybe in a few years.” With predecessors like Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, and Daniel Craig, Pattinson would be a much younger James Bond but maybe they can revamp the movies like they are doing with the “Spiderman” movies. Speaking of which – As for the rumor that’s been going around that he could replace Tobey Maguire donning the Spidey costume in the reboot, Pattinson says it’s totally not true, although it’s the kind of thing he’d love to do because he likes the idea of “doing an action movie where you can never see your face, cause you don’t have to go to the gym and you don’t have to do any of your stunts and stuff.” However, don’t worry about Pattinsons’ career – his movie “Remember Me” was just released and is receiving high praises from fans despite the critics harsh reviews, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is out in June, and he is currently filming “Bel Ami.” He is considered as hot property in Hollywood these days, so the Bond franchise would be lucky to have him!
Meanwhile, the other lesser talked about Cullen brother, Jackson Rathbone will be at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards tomorrow night with his co-star Nicola Peltz in support of their upcoming film “The Last Airbender.” Above is a promo spot for the awards show, featuring Jackson and Nicola.

Robert Pattinson or Michael Cera to be New Spiderman !?!
January 12, 2010 By 8 Comments
“Spider-Man 4” has come to a halt, bringing along a huge vacancy in the film franchise world. Sam Raimi is gone as director, along with the films stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. But now that the studio needs to basically start from square one, the main question on everyone’s mind is who will be stepping into Spidey’s suit? Already, names such as Robert Pattinson, Channing Tatum, and Kellen Lutz are being thrown around as possible replacements.
Per EntertainmentWise:
Rob faces competition for the role from Michael Cera, according to the Daily Record.
Wow, Michael Cera too? Really? Just doesn’t seem to fit for me. And neither does Pattinson. His plate is already full at the moment, with shooting for “Bel Ami” scheduled to start in February, “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” press tour scheduled to start in the spring, and a rumored fall start date for shooting “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.” No matter what role it is, Pattinsons name seems to always pop up as a potential casting, most notably when he was rumored to be playing Jack Sparrows’ brother in “Pirates of the Caribbean 4.” (Read about that here.) According to the studio, its going to take quite a while to retool Spiderman 4, so the expected May 2011 premiere date seems to be thrown out the window. Its also too soon to be throwing any names into the ring for Maguire’s replacement, so for now we’ll just chalk up the Pattinson interest to wishful thinking!

Spider Man 4: Tobey Maguire Out
January 12, 2010 By 29 Comments
After director Sam Raimi dropped out of the fourth installment of the Spider-Man films, Sony decided to hit the reset button on the franchise. Tobey Maguire will no longer be greasing himself up to slide into the Spidey suit. Kristen Dunst can go back to drowning her sads in bong resin and gin.
The director pulled out after Sony demanded a summer release date. The script and casting was still in the works and not nearing finalization anytime soon. Arguments over the villain and the casting Anne Hathaway were holding things up. According to rumors, Sam was pushing for John Malkovich to be Spidey’s nemesis. Raimi felt he couldn’t put together a respectable film by this summer and walked.
Via: Deadline Hollywood:
“Raimi told Sony Pictures: “I can’t make your date. I can’t go forward creatively.” And, so, once he said “That’s it”, Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal and Columbia Pictures’ Matt Tolmach decided they didn’t want to replace him and instead chose to reboot the franchise. Insiders also tell me that Tobey Maguire heard the news in a phone call with Amy today. I’m told Tobey wasn’t upset. “He’s made 3 great Spider-Man movies. He’s done really well. But he’s the kind of guy who, if Sam wanted to go forward, would have been there for Sam and the studio. Absolutely.”
Instead of replacing the talent of Raimi, Sony has decided to “reboot” the franchise and start with a new cast and new direction. The notion is to have a film put together by summer 2012. As Dame Crista and I were discussing over Bloody Marys this morning (What? We couldn’t have mimosas. There is an orange crisis going on!) this “new format” in 2012 will probably be known as straight to DVD.
Tobey isn’t crying into his Team Jacob pillow. He released a statement about how happy he is to be free of the spandex.
“I am so proud of what we accomplished with the Spider-Man franchise over the last decade. Beyond the films themselves I have formed some deep and lasting friendships. I am excited to see the next chapter unfold in this incredible story.”
And now that is done…who wants some Malt-O Meal?!
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire Teenage BFF’s – Photos
June 5, 2009 By 1 Comment
I stumbled upon some old school photos of teenage Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. Look at how adorable these two are. I suddenly want to watch “Stand by Me” and spend hours hunting down old friends via Facebook.
These two were friends from the start and still manage to spend time together to this very day. They attended Jay-Z’s D.J. Hero party (the same party Ashlee Simpson lost her shiz at, click here to read about that mess) and catch the occasional basketball game together. On a fun note, Leo was recently carded trying to get into Gansevoort’s Ono thanks to his baseball hat and dark sunglasses disguise.
