Who’s Your Dadd– er, Trainer? Celebs Flock to Ultra Buff BodyDesignByWade Trainer

If you’re a Los Angeles gym-frequeting resident — whether a starlet trying to keep the OK! magazine cellulite-finding faux-journalism rats at bay — or an up and coming actress that needs to mix in some Abs with her (sadly secondarily important) Julliard degree — you’ve likely seen this super-hot, buff new trainer around town. We [...]

The Harry Potter Kids : All Grown Up.

It’s kind of weird… cute, but weird… looking at the photos of the innocent, baby-faced little Potter kids right after casting. Oh, the innocence in their pre-Hogwarts and Hollywood eyes! There were endless speculations (and many cynical ones on our end) on whether or not Ron, Harry, and Hermione would grow into attractive young adults. [...]

Where Celebrities Shop for Furniture : “Speakeasy” Loft4027

High end furnitue-hunting celebrities and the “hip crowd” alike are flocking to a certain “speakeasy” style penthouse loft in Marina del Rey, California.   Just like a prohibition style bar — you have to know the address, the code, the right person to talk to to get in — and if you’re one of the [...]

Coppola & Val Kilmer Shacking Up in Wine Country – Producing Secret Horror Film

Apparently Francis Ford Coppola has been struck with a sudden case of obeisant groundhog.  The Oscar winning director has been shacked up in a theoretical movie hole for the past few weeks — filming a secret horror movie that nobody in Hollywood new about! The crafty seasoned director has rounded up a few stars (including Val [...]

Powerhouse 12-Year-Old Andy Scott Harris Talks Life, Pursuit, and Method

We always lament not catching up and interviewing the stars “before” it all happens. Tom Cruise before Top Gun, Brad Pitt before 21 Jump Street, Johnny Depp prior to Nightmare. This week we catch up with Andy Scott Harris, a blue-eyed young up-and-comer — recently seen with Tom Hanks in Angels & Demons — who [...]

Nivedita Kulkarni on Comedy, Method, and The Sex Lives of Disney Princesses

// // There’s quite a bit of “funny” out there in the world right now. Chris Rock, for one. The idea of Taylor Luther and Hillary Duff mating, for two. And Nivedita Kulkarni playing a starved-for-sexual-attention version of Pocohontas in her highly acclaimed UCB show, The Sex Lives of Disney Princesses. We recently had a virtual [...]

Twilight Director Chris Weitz Trades Bad Acting for Real Film

Wow. Chris Weitz has chosen quality acting over a multi-billion dollar film empire. The not-a-household-name yet director, who was made almost famous by his fantastic directing in Twilight (we can’t blame the acting of Stewart or Luther on him, now), has decided to step away in favor of a small, minimally funded film about a [...]

Redefining Talent : Bridget Megan Clark

With credits like Doubt, Rescue Me, Ugly Betty, and Michael & Michael Have Issues (plus, she’s rumored to be attached to the Next Evolution Productions pilot Circle of Eight) one would think they’d be looking at the resume laundry list of someone age… 25, 30, 50… Not quite.  Following recent television trends, younger and younger [...]
