Brad and Angie Killed Pmk

5 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Not so long ago, the letters Pmk were the three most feared in Hollywood. Now the upcoming takeover of the one-time celebrity publicity giant by a communications firm known primarily for its corporate clients has made everyone in Hollywood ask: how could this happen? How could a company that was once so powerful it could literally dictate what questions reporters could ask Tom Cruise be gobbled up so easily? The surprising answer: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. "The day the two biggest stars in Hollywood decided to fire their personal publicist and not replace them, the whole world of publicity changed forever. They proved that stars didn't need publicists anymore to communicate. And every celebrity watches Brad and Angie," Bonnie Fuller, President and Editor and Chief of HollywoodLife.com told me. Brad and Angie want to give off the impression of being »

Sam Worthington to Play…Everything in Cinema? Aussie Actor Now Rumored for Flash Gordon?

9 hours ago | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

A majority of Hollywood is on cruise control ’till the beginning of the New Year but that truly doesn’t stop the internet rumors and blogosphere from collecting casting rumors and all the other production gossip there is.  One story in particular hit our radar this morning from Hollyscoop (a source about as reliable as me saying “the sky is falling”)

Sam Worthington and Ryan Reynolds are two of only a handful of actors on the Flash Gordon shortlist according to the site and their “source”.

Hollywood has lists and there is no doubt both these guys are on it. It seemed not so long ago that list used to look like or at least I would assume would have looked like this – Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Will Smith and so forth. Now different names seem to be synonymous and more sought out for large blockbuster budget material. Hugh Jackman is one of those guys, »

Our favorite couples in 2009 met while working on set or working the red carpet. Some flaunted their love and devotion, and some tried to keep it under wraps. But at the end of the day, they made a case for the existence of true love and gave hope to all of us.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski

After they began dating in November 2008, "The Office" star and his "Devil Wears Prada" girlfriend announced their engagement this past August. Although Jim — uh, we mean John — is married to Pam on television, in real life his heart belongs only to Emily. Plus, John has a great sense of humor about being the "sexiest groom alive." He recently joked that his TV wedding helped prepare him for married life. »

Victoria had the Hebrew words for 'Together, Forever, Eternally' inked on her wrist in honour of her soccer star husband David. Katie is determined to get a similar inscription. Victoria and David are famed for their love of tattoos, with David getting a ring of roses emblazoned on his »

Pics: Angelina Jolie Pretty in Fur on 'Salt' Set

21 hours ago | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »

After enjoying Christmas holidays with her family, Angelina Jolie was snapped returning to the New York City set of "Salt" on Monday, December 28. Doing some re-shooting for the upcoming thriller, the 34-year-old braved the wintry weather by donning a fur-lined hat and a matching coat.

Some of the re-shooting she did took place at The Frying Pan, a ship anchored bar/restaurant in the Hudson River. The venue has been used for both interior and exterior scenes in the movie. According to Ok! Magazine, the living partner of Brad Pitt had to do the re-shoots after the script underwent changes involving her on-screen husband character.

"They're basically writing him out of the movie," a source said. "In the original script Angelina watches her husband die in a scene. After they shot it they didn't like it for some reason and decided to change the script so they have to re-shoot some scenes. »

Editors Note: This week our resident film critic David Dimichele will count down the top 50 best films of the decade.  Today we will look at the first ten from the list and unveil a new portion of the list each day until we get to the number one film of this past decade.

The countdown starts after the jump.

50. The Dark Knight (2008)

This nocturnal epic of a nightmare can be a metaphor to what may await America. With President-elect Obama ready to step in and lay a new foundation over a rundown America that is suffering from economic issues, bailout options, unemployment and the always looming threat of a terrorist attack, director Christopher Nolan conceives such unfavorable situations and employs them in a world that usually doesn’t deal with such catastrophes.

Top of the Crops: Where do Triffids come in the countdown of killer plants?

28 December 2009 6:23 PM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Tonight sees the new adaptation of John Wyndham's novel The Day Of The Triffids begin on BBC1, with the concluding part tomorrow.

And with not so much as the hint of a tendril in the publicity shots, sci-fi fans have been wondering what the latest incarnation of the fictional flora will look like.

Triffids are probably the most well-known venomous vegetation on the big or small screen but far from the only example. So, with the Triffids about to wield their deadly stingers once again, it's time to take a look at the top horticultural horrors.

Please note that the following list will include fungi which were previously considered to be plants but are now classified in their own kingdom separate from animals, plants and bacteria. In fact, genetic studies have shown fungi to be more closely related to animals than plants. Nevertheless, mushrooms are grown as crops and eaten as vegetables, »

Seeing Stars in Hollywood and New York

28 December 2009 9:11 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Wanna hear something amusingly ironic about the stateside star system? Just as the Hollywood Powers That Be are being forced to consider the lessening impact of box-office stars, the Broadway Powers That Be are concluding the only box-office sure-things are star names. Think about, for instance, the box office weakness of Tom Cruise's Valkyrie or the so-so results for Jim Carrey's A Christmas Carol. Consider the humongous success of the Twilight series, which has made stars of Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart but maybe only for sequels and not when they appear in anything else. Now ruminate at what fortunes are likely to be reaped by star-name-less special-effects spectacles like James Cameron's long-awaited Avatar, despite its blizzard-plagued opening week. (Is Cameron a box-office name? -- the jury's still out.) Notice that the »

The Best Films of the Decade (aka "The Naughties")

Best Films Of The Decade (aka The Naughties) From Alex & Terry

List # 1

By Alex Simon

When Terry and I initially discussed writing these lists, I had a tough time thinking back on 20 films over the past decade which I was really taken with, thinking that movies have sunk so low over the past ten years, that even choosing a dozen would be a short-order job. Thirty minutes into it, my list had nearly 60 titles! After much cutting, pasting, and re-cutting and pasting, here are my top 20 films (in no particular order) of the first decade of the 21st century, dubbed by many as “the naughties.” --A.S.

1.No Country for Old Men (Coen Brothers, 2007) An elegiac blend of stark beauty and full-throttle despair from two of our finest filmmakers, set in the contemporary American West. Every frame is damn near flawless, and would have been an even more perfect vehicle for the late Sam Peckinpah. »

Trailer Park: Knights, Warlords and Repo Cops

26 December 2009 4:32 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Knight and Day

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz star in an action flick so silly and over the top it just might work. He's some kind of super spy and she's caught in the middle. The trailer is fun and hopefully the movie will be too. Watch for this one on July 2.

Warlords

This historical action drama set during the Taiping Rebellion of the 1860s tells the tale of three men who swear allegiance and brotherhood to one another after their shared experiences in combat. Lush historical settings and some eye-popping action suggest this may be one to watch for. No U.S. release info yet.

Repo Men

Forest Whitaker and Jude Law are repossessors of artificial organs in this red band trailer. If you don't make the payments on these miraculous futuristic devices they will track you down and rip them from your body. Wait a minute, didn't this »

Nicole Kidman to Cut Back Movie Projects

25 December 2009 1:08 AM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »

Rumor has it, Nicole Kidman is slowing down her career in the movie biz to focus on expanding her family with husband Keith Urban. On the speculation of the matter, Hollyscoop cited an insider as reporting, "Nicole is looking to work less if she can because her priorities are with her family life now."

"Nicole and Keith have made no secret about wanting a little brother or sister for Sunday Rose and they're hoping they may have some happy news sooner rather than later," the insider moreover stated before adding that Nicole isn't the only one downsizing work load. "Keith is also working less and less and everything is being geared to accommodate their dream of more children," so the source claimed.

Nicole Kidman recently came out with a denial that she is pregnant with baby number two. Her pregnancy rumor surfaced after the 42-year-old was captured on camera holding »

Hugh Grant gets cash at Atm

23 December 2009 7:40 PM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Hugh Grant was spotted in Sydney going to an Atm in a very unusual move for a travelling international star. Grant in a photo that surfaced was stopped at an Atm in light jeans and shirt with sunglasses in one hand while key punching with the other. Unlike other travelling gliteratti, he did not send someone to get his cash. But the move was also unusual because stars usually bring a supply of cash with them, said Noel McMaster who is Grant's security consultant for his three-day stay. McMaster was local security detail for Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise for 10 years. 'He must have felt safe here,' he said. 'In all my years of doing »
