Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston is following the lead of her former co-star.
In the fall, Courteney Cox will play an older woman seeking a younger mate in the ABC sitcom, Cougar Town.
Meanwhile, Variety reports that Aniston will headline Pumas, a movie that centers on a pair of thirtysomething women who make a habit of romancing men a decade their junior.
According to Variety, the two main character "take a French skiing vacation that challenges their romantic expectations."
Anison first mentioned the project in December's Vogue. She described the project it a "female Wedding Crashers."
A new controversy is brewing around the Twilight Saga.
Yesterday, we reported that Rachelle Lefevre would be replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard in the role of Victoria for the film Eclipse.
The studio, Summit Entertainment, cited scheduling conflicts as the reason behind the switch, as Lefevre is starring in Barney's Version this fall. But the actress has released a statement that claims she could easily have done both movies:
“I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for Eclipse. I was fully committed to the Twilight saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria. I turned down several other film opportunities and, in accordance with my contractual rights, accepted only roles that would involve very short shooting schedules. My commitment to Barney’s Version is only ten days. Summit picked up my option for Eclipse.
Are you on Team Rachelle or Team Summit?
Although the production schedule for Eclipse is over three months long, Summit said they had a conflict during those ten days and would not accommodate me. Given the length of filming for Eclipse, never did I fathom I would lose the role over a 10 day overlap. I was happy with my contract with Summit and was fully prepared to continue to honor it. Summit chose simply to recast the part.
I am greatly saddened that I will not get to complete my portrayal of Victoria for the Twilight audience. This is a story, a theatrical journey and a character that I truly love and about which I am very passionate. I will be forever grateful to the fan support and loyalty I’ve received since being cast for this role, and I am hurt deeply by Summit’s surprising decision to move on without me.
I wish the cast and crew of Eclipse only the very best.“
In response, Summit Entertainment says the actress never cleared her shooting schedule with anyone from Eclipse. In its statement, the studio wrote:
"Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to the other project – which she chose to withhold from Summit until the last possible moment – makes her unfortunately unavailable to perform the role of Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."
We don't mean to sound like a marketing firm, but if you enjoyed Love Actually, you gotta see New York, I Love You.
The movie tells the tale of multiple, intertwining romance stories, all set in NYC. It features an impressive cast, comprised of:
Orlando Bloom
Bradley Cooper
Rachel Bilson
Hayden Christensen
Christina Ricci
Ethan Hawke
Shia LaBeouf
Blake Lively
James Caan
The studio behind the flick, Vivendi Entertainment, describes the movie as: "A collaboration of storytelling from some of today's most imaginative filmmakers" who "create a kaleidoscope of the spontaneous, surprising, electrifying human connections that pump the city's heartbeat."
Here's a look at the first official poster for New York, I Love You. It comes out, in limited release, on October 16.
We dare you to look at Jonah Hill and not crack up. The actor is hilarious.
In a new interview, Hill dishes on a pair of upcoming movies: Funny People and Get Him to the Greek. Here are a pair of excerpts from it:
On doing stand-up comedy in Funny People: It was pretty frightening. [Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler] had years of stand-up experience. Honestly, the first show went remarkably well. We have it on film. From there on, it went kind of downhill… It’s almost like, when someone plays poker for the first time, they might be a professional poker player out of ignorance, just accidentally winning. That was how it felt in my first stand-up appearance.
On teaming with Russell Brand for Get Him to the Greek: I didn’t want to make a spinoff movie because I really like the thought of trying to be completely original with every movie you make. Nick obviously saw something funny in the dynamic between myself and Russell and said, “Why don’t we make Russell a rock star and you a music executive and you’re both different people?”
But then it felt weird for Russell to play a different rock star, so we kept him as [Aldous Snow]. I play a different character. What I liked about him was that he became the most normal and together guy I’ve ever played in a movie. It’s been an incredible experience. I think the movie could possibly be one of the funniest I’ve ever done.
Sorry, Amanda Crew. But millions of young women are about to start hating you.
The Canadian actress will star opposite Zac Efron in Charlie St. Cloud, a supernatural romantic drama.
The film will be adaptation of the Ben Sherwood novel of the same name. It tells the story of a cemetery caretaker (Efron) that has weekly meetings with his younger, late brother.
This individual meets a young woman (Crew) believed to be missing in a sailing accident and starts a romantic relationship with her - but he soon wonders if she is a ghost on the way to the next life.
Twilight fans will soon have a new star to scream over.
Bryce Dallas Howard is taking over the role of Victoria from Rachelle Lefevre, whose committment to the movie Barney's Version made it impossible for her to begin shooting Eclipse on August 17 in Vancouver.
Lefevre portrayed the Bella-hating Victoria in Twilight and will do so again in November's New Moon.
"We are incredibly happy that Bryce has agreed to come into the franchise," said Erik Feig, president of Worldwide Production and Acquisitions for Summit Entertainment. "Rachelle brought Victoria to great screen life and Bryce will bring a new dimension to the character. The franchise is lucky to have such a talented actress as Bryce coming in to fill the role."
So, it will be Howard that seduces newborn vampire Riley, to be portrayed by fellow franchise newcomer Xavier Samuel in Eclipse. What do you think of this casting change?
