Amy Winehouse Eyes New Surgery on Nose

4 hours ago | TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news »

Amy Winehouse reportedly is hooked on … plastic surgery. After boosting her breasts she now wants to fix her “witch-like” nose. Plastic surgery can be addictive. In some cases it can get out of hand. Celebrities such as Cher, Meg Ryan have changed their looks for the worse through “lip plumping.” And of course, late singer Michael Jackson was notorious for having multiple plastic surgery procedures to radically alter his look. Nose jobs can be tricky, too. Pop singer Ashlee Simpson had a nose job and was widely criticized. Jennifer Gray , who starred in the 1987 movie “Dirty Dancing,” had surgery to remove a pronounced bump in her nose and it ruined her career. »

trailer break: ‘Serious Moonlight’

5 hours ago | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »

Oh boy. A comedy about home invasion and spousal abuse? Can it work? I hope the movie addresses the situation that the Tim Hutton character brings up, how his wife Meg Ryan makes more money than him and is physically stronger than him, etc -- because that’s the situation that most women are in if they’re in a romantic relationship with a man. If women can deal with that, why can’t men? We’ll see if that gets explored... Serious Moonlight is now available on demand in the U.S.. It opens theatrically in the U.S. on December 4; no U.K. release date has been announced. »

Serious Moonlight | Review

6 hours ago | SmellsLikeScreenSpirit | See recent SmellsLikeScreenSpirit news »

Director: Cheryl Hines Writer(s): Adrienne Shelly Starring: Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton, Kristin Bell, Justin Long Serious Moonlight begins with Ian (Timothy Hutton) as he travels to a quaint vacation home in the country. Where Ian is going, people leave items for sale alone by the side of the road with the unwavering trust that their customers will leave the proper cash on the table in exchange for the goods; and the inhabitants of the town leave their doors unlocked even when they are not home. (Other than in the movies, do places like this still exist?) Ian purposefully arrives a day earlier than his wife, Louise (Meg Ryan), in order to rendezvous with his youthful mistress Sara (Kristen Bell) for a trip to Paris. Ian plans on being halfway to Paris before Louise arrives – he intends to leave a note behind for Louise to break off their marriage. »

Nicole Kidman Got "Freakish" Lip Job Claims Paper, But Did She? (Photos)

14 November 2009 7:41 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Nicole Kidman may have looked bustier than usual at Wednesday night's Country Music Awards, but were her lips really "freakish?" An item in Friday's New York Post quotes an unnamed person: "She looked freakish," said one witness. "She just had her lips done, and now she looks like Meg Ryan." The Aussie actress didn't want to be interrogated on the red carpet and fled, leaving behind her perplexed husband, Keith Urban. She could not have fled too quickly though, as their are loads of photos of her both alone and snuggling her husband on the red carpet. As for her lips, are they different from a year ago or even 25 years ago? Below the poll are a few photos of Kidman's mouth over the years. ... »

Nicole Kidman Looks A Little Different These Days

14 November 2009 12:00 AM, PST | Celebuzz.com | See recent Celebuzz news »

There was something a little off about Nicole Kidman at Wednesday night's Country Music Awards. Or a lot off. The actress was there to support hubby, singer Keith Urban, but all eyes were on her as she made her way down the red carpet. Witnesses tell the NY Post, "She looked freakish. She just had her lips done, and now she looks like Meg Ryan." She didn't even stop to talk to reporters and even ran off the red carpet! "She just flipped out and took off running. Keith kept saying, 'Where is she? Where is she?' " Kidman's reps had no comment for the report. Well,... »

Movies We Love: When Harry Met Sally

4 November 2009 2:55 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

When Harry Met Sally (1989) No, no, you did not have great sex with Sheldon. A Sheldon can do your income taxes. If you need a root canal, Sheldon’s your man. But humpin’ and pumpin’ is not Sheldon’s strong suit. It’s the name. “Do it to me, Sheldon. You’re an animal, Sheldon. Ride me, big Shel-don.” Doesn’t work. Synopsis Harry Burns (Billy Crystal) and Sally Albright (Meg Ryan) meet while sharing a ride from Chicago to New York City after college.

Wings of Desire: Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review

2 November 2009 7:16 AM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire (Der Himmel uber Berlin) centers around two guardian angels, Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander). The duo .alongside other angels- act as witnesses to all that takes place around them on Earth (the streets of 1987 West Berlin, to be precise). Moving invisibly through the haunted city, they observe, collect and share people's thoughts, dreams, memories and fears with each other. After an eternity of observing, Damiel begins to ponder the possibility of becoming mortal, and when he encounters and falls for a lonely trapeze artist named Marion (Solveig Dommartin), he decides to take the plunge and become human.

Until Damiel makes that leap, nearly two-thirds into the movie's 127-minute running time, there really isn't much of a structured plot to speak of in Wings of Desire. The film is more of a reflection on the human condition, expressed through a series of sequences of inner monologues. »

The Name Game: Down With Nouns

30 October 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | People - CelebrityBabies | See recent People - CelebrityBabies news »

Thinking outside the box when it comes to naming babies goes part and parcel with being a celebrity, and in their search to come up with the perfect moniker some have clearly pushed that envelope more than others. According to nameberry.com co-founder Linda Rosenkrantz, word names are an increasingly popular way to do just that.

“When looking for a really unusual baby name, many celebrities have started to search the dictionary for a noun or adjective that will define their child, choosing words that have rarely, if ever been used before as people-names,” she explains.

Aff Review: Serious Moonlight

29 October 2009 6:32 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

The first thing everyone seems to mention about Serious Moonlight is that its screenplay is the last one written by the late Adrienne Shelly. Actress Cheryl Hines, who had a role in Shelly's film Waitress, is making her feature directorial debut with the dark comedy, which stars Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton. The movie opened Austin Film Festival this year. It sounds like a sure-fire comedy, but unfortunately it just left me with a headache.

Serious Moonlight focuses on a married couple, Louise (Meg Ryan) and Ian (Timothy Hutton), who are supposed to meet in their country house for a rendezvous, but both arrive a day early. Louise wants to surprise her husband, but finds out that he also has a surprise: he's leaving her. She refuses to accept this, and ends up cracking him on the head with a vase, binding him with duct tape, and refusing to let »

This Week in Trailers: Revamped 'Goats,' 'Sherlock'

25 October 2009 3:43 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

I'll go ahead and say it: This is not the best week I've ever seen for movie trailers. In fact, it's one of the worst in terms of new arrivals. What we featured this week is highlighted by the latest trailers for movies we've seen plenty of stuff for in the past.

Now, the flipside of that is the new looks at The Men Who Stare at Goats and Sherlock Holmes are both really good, better than previous versions, and two of the other three trailers this week are good, too. They're just for movies you probably weren't waiting for with bated breath. But you might want to skip the Meg Ryan one.

On Thursday night, Austin Film Festival screened its opening-night movie, Serious Moonlight, at the Paramount. Director Cheryl Hines, pictured above, attended the screening and held a Q&A afterwards. The movie stars Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton, Kristen Bell and Justin Long, and was written by the late Adrienne Shelly (Waitress).

A number of film-pass holders were lined up for the film -- it turned out to be a good-sized audience, but everyone was able to get in.

Discuss: When an Actor's Look Gets in the Way

22 October 2009 1:48 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Are you finding it increasingly harder to take the changing physicality of Hollywood actors?

Things change; they grow old, they morph, and sometimes even evolve. It's a fact of life, and usually a good fact of life. But lately, I find myself constantly having to try and ignore certain physical aspects to enjoy a trailer, an image, a film. Rather than absorbing the project, the mood, the plot, I'm trying to blur my eyes so Mr. or Ms. So-and-So doesn't look quite so silly.

On the one hand, of course, it's the plastic surgery. Practically everyone in Tinseltown does something. There's no way everyone has smooth foreheads and bright skin. But when the random nose job or improvement turns into new cheeks, chin, or balloonish lips until the original person is nowhere to be seen, it becomes too much. If this was happening to actors known for morphing into characters, »

Trailer Park: Broken Toys, Serious Embraces

21 October 2009 1:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Toy Story 3

Full length trailer for the Disney/Pixar sequel in which Andy goes off to college leaving Woody, Buzz and the gang to be donated to a daycare center. Looks like a worthy successor to the franchise. The toys start getting real again on June 18.

Serious Moonlight

In sort of a romantic comedy take on Misery, Meg Ryan plays a woman who duct tapes her cheating husband (Timothy Hutton) to the toilet and refuses to release him until he loves her again. Could be a cute idea but it's got a "wait for the DVD" feel. Watch for this one on December 4.

Dear John

Channing Tatum plays a soldier home on leave who falls in love with a college student (Amanda Seyfried) and carries on a long correspondence (hence the title) once he returns to duty. This is out on February 5.

Meg Ryan Does Misery in Serious Moonlight Trailer

21 October 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Serious Moonlight is supposed to be a light-hearted comedy, but it's got long odds. First, there's the unlikely premise: Meg Ryan duct-tapes cheating husband Timothy Hutton to the toilet until she can force him to fall back in love with her. Then, there's the side-story of loss, as Serious Moonlight is based on a script by Adrienne Shelly, who was brutally murdered before her film Waitress was scooped up at Sundance in 2007.

And finally, there's one other thing. And I think you know what that thing is. »

Kristen Bell loved punching Meg Ryan

19 October 2009 1:37 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Kristen Bell was on "cloud nine" when she got to punch Meg Ryan.

The blonde actress was thrilled to share a fight scene with the Hollywood legend in new comedy movie 'Serious Moonlight'.

She said: "I got to get in a fistfight with Meg in 'Serious Moonlight'. And she was so game. I was just like, 'Oh, my gosh. I am having a fistfight with Meg Ryan right now. I'm just on cloud nine.' "

Although Kristen enjoyed shooting the action sequence, she admits she found it hard to focus on her role because she is such a big fan of Meg.

The 29-year-old 'Heroes' star explained to Parade.com: "She projects an iconic level of cuteness that I don't even think will ever be matched. She's chosen to take a few years off or whatever, so I forgot how utterly addicting and adorable her mannerisms are. »
