Since we've already learned that hand-holding equals a hot and heavy relationship, we'll have to apply that new rule to people who aren't in vampire movies as well. Despite reports that 21-year-old Dancing With the Stars hottie Julianne Hough and her 30-year-old country boy Chuck Wicks had called it quits, the handsome pair may still be together. And how do we know? Because they were totally holding hands at the Cma Awards last night! Hough skipped the red carpet—presumably to avoid questions about the breakup—while Wicks was working it for Entertainment Tonight. Later, E! News spotted them standing together chatting with a small group of people backstage during the show.... »

Kristen Stewart talks Joan Jett hair, 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon,' and coming back for 'Eclipse'

11 November 2009 8:20 AM, PST | Twilight Examiner | See recent Twilight Examiner news »

Kristen Stewart has been the featured guest in an inestimable number of interviews lately, and despite that fact, this one that she did with Entertainment Tonight brings some new insight into Stewart's mental process in being a Twilight star. For starters, Stewart reveals a few details about her hair and how the cut was done to bring about the Joan Jett look. Then, she talks about her co-stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner - as compared to one another and to her self. Interestingly enough, Stewart draws a distinct comparison between the actual nature of the two and that of their on-screen personas. Needless to say, this proves to be a great segue into how Stewart was able to successfully transition from The Twilight Saga: New Moon to The Runaways and then back to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. All in all, a very ... »

"New Moon" Interviews With Pattinson, Lautner and Stewart

8 November 2009 5:11 PM, PST | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »

What sucks about participating in interviews at a particular film's press day is that every representative from a website, magazine or other media source gets the same interview. Take our interviews with "New Moon" stars Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart for instance. There are probably a dozen other websites with the same interviews. That's just the way it goes when you attend a film's press day. Entertainment Tonight, however, was lucky enough to chat with the stars one-on-one thus they got an entirely different interview from each of the cast members. Read on to check it out!

Birthday Suits: Immortal Beloveds

8 November 2009 6:27 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Who needs holidays? Make your own with the birthdays of movie people.

Parker, Oleg and Vlad the Impaler (as interpreted by Gary Oldman)

Today's Birthdays 11/08

1431 Vlad the Impaler would have turned 578 years old today if not for that stake through the heart. To be accurate, his exact birthday is unknown but sometimes he's listed on this date which probably has something to do with...

1847 Bram Stoker who wrote the original Dracula, which gave Vlad the immortality that he had mythically already won as the original nosferatu... vampyr. The cinema loves him harder and deeper than Lucy Harker ever could.

1900 Margaret Mitchell wrote Gone With the Wind. She didn't have to impale anyone or renounce heaven to achieve immortality. She just had to write one mammoth book. The movie based on her novel is still the highest grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation. One of only four films »

Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman to be ‘Danish Girls’

6 November 2009 7:58 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Taking on a fairly interesting duo of roles, Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman have both signed on to star in The Danish Girl.

The film is based on the real life relationship between Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener, but is adapted from a David Ebershoff novel dealing with the same story.

Although dealing with a relationship, the film is not your typical boy meets girl, girl meets girl, or boy meets boy tale. Einar Wegener was, in fact, the first post-operative transsexual, and the film follows his and his wife Greta on the journey Einar takes from playing around with gender roles, to finally getting a sex-change operation.

In The Danish Girl, Paltrow will play the role of Greta, a portrait painter who asks her husband Einar to step in when a female model fails to show up for a sitting. Kidman will be playing the role of Einar, »

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is set to star alongside Kevin Bacon in a new comedy, “Whole Lotta Sole.” The film will begin shooting in Belfast, Ireland in 2010. “The Tudors” star Rhys Meyers will play a thief who attempts to steal from a fish market, and takes Bacon’s character hostage in the process.

"This is a great comedy project, not like Terry's usual political fare,” Russell said. “It's very exciting to have one of the best young actors today, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, teamed up with one of the greats, Kevin Bacon."
