  • Demi Moore Receives Big Compliment from Daughter Tallulah Willis On Her SAG Awards Style

    Demi Moore Receives Big Compliment from Daughter Tallulah Willis On Her SAG Awards Style

    Demi Moore received a huge compliment from youngest daughter Tallulah Willis, regarding her sizzling hot style at Saturday’s SAG Awards.

    Tallula took to social media, so the compliment got lots of coverage.

    “mother being liquid fire,” she captioned a shot of Demi Moore wearing a black Zac Posen gown.

    Demi Moore served as one of the presenters at the SAG Awards. When designer Zac Posen saw her wearing one of his vintage gowns, he was stunned.

    “What a wonderful surprise for me to see my pal #DemiMoore wearing her own vintage #ZacPosen gown from my second collection many moons ago while presenting at the #SagAwards tonight!!!” he captioned a short video clip of Demi Moore crossing the stage at the SAG Awards.

    A video posted by @zacposen on

    It’s been a while since Demi Moore appeared at an awards show, so fans were excited to see her.

    Perhaps Demi Moore will be a recipient at next year’s SAG Awards. She is set to star on the big screen in the upcoming film Blind, alongside Alec Baldwin, Dylan McDermott, James McCaffrey, and Viva Bianca.

    Do you agree with Tallulah Willis that Demi Moore was as hot as “liquid fire” at the SAG Awards this weekend?

  • Hailey Baldwin Talks Justin Bieber Into Getting Cornrows While Vacationing With His Family in St. Barts

    Hailey Baldwin certainly appears to be the new lady in Justin Bieber’s life. He thinks enough of her to get cornrows in his hair, after all.

    Yes, you read that correctly. Justin Bieber got cornrows while he and Hailey Baldwin were vacationing in St. Barts with members of his family.

    Don’t let that fool you, though. The “Sorry” singer hated his new ‘do.

    Justin Bieber shared an Instagram photo of his cornrows, laying full blame for the style on Hailey Baldwin, who wears a matching ‘do.

    “Hailey made me get corn rows like an absolute douche bag, these will be off tomorrow trust me Danny,” Bieber captioned the photo.

    A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on

    It’s probably a really good thing Justin Bieber can blame Hailey Baldwin for the cornrows. It’s a really ridiculous look for the singer.

    Things seem to be blossoming rather quickly for Hailey Baldwin and the “Where Are U Now” singer. Even though the two spent New Year’s Eve together–and last year’s New Year’s Eve, too–their romance seems to have only blossomed in the past few weeks.

    Hailey Baldwin is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin. She is Alec Baldwin’s niece.

    Do you think Hailey Baldwin is Justin Bieber’s rebound romance? Is he trying to win back Selena Gomez by making her jealous as he cavorts in St. Barts with Hailey?

    Selena Gomez seems to have permanently moved on, so hopefully for Justin Bieber, Hailey Baldwin plans to stick around for a while.

  • Demi Moore Pays $715 Per Session for Chihuahua’s In-Home Acupuncture Treatments

    Demi Moore has one very pampered pooch. Despite there being absolutely nothing ailing the chihuahua–named Vida Blue–Moore pays $715 per session for the dog to have in-home acupuncture treatments.

    “There’s nothing wrong with her dog,” a source tells Us Weekly of Demi Moore’s pet. The Ghost actress, 53, “is just really into holistic food and medicine for her animals, the way she is for herself.”

    Veterinarian Patrick Mahaney treats Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump’s dog.

    “It can calm down an anxious dog,” he says of the acupuncture treatments. “It also stimulates appetite and treats muscle spasms.”

    In addition to making sure her dog stays healthy, Demi Moore is filming an upcoming movie called Blind. Production is taking place in New York City, with Alec Baldwin starring opposite Demi Moore.

    Baldwin plays the role of a novelist who lost his sight in a car crash that killed his wife. He rediscovers how much he loved writing when he falls in love with Demi Moore’s character.

    This isn’t the first time Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore have starred in a film together. They also starred in the 1996 thriller The Juror.

    Do you suppose Demi Moore is busy convincing Alec Baldwin and/or anyone else on the set of Blind to shell out $715 per treatment for their dogs to have acupuncture?

    You certainly can’t fault the actress for loving her dog.

    Would you shell out what Demi Moore is paying for your pet to receive these treatments?

  • Ireland Baldwin Goes Braless For Red Carpet Appearance At Victoria’s Secret Show

    Ireland Baldwin made an interesting choice of attire on Tuesday by going braless for the red carpet at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York.

    Alec Baldwin‘s daughter’s choice to forgo a bra is somewhat strange considering the show is for undergarments. But, perhaps the Ireland thought the best way to get noticed amisdst dozens of supermodels was by going braless. At least, that’s one theory suggested by Page Six.

    The 20-year-old fashion model wore a plunging — and we do mean plunging — black mini dress paired with strappy open-toed stilettos. Before making her way inside the Lexington Armory, Ireland Baldwin reportedly flashed a whole lot of side boobage.

    Baldwin joined her friend, Dylan Penn, to watch pals Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Lily Aldridge hit the runway from the front row.

    Perhaps the young model is hoping her bosom exposure will attract the powers that be so that she too can earn her own Victoria’s Secret angel wings like her BFFs.

    Hopefully Ireland didn’t have to make any sudden moves because she might have exposed more than just a little side boobs. Let’s just say very little was left to the imagination.

    What do you think of Ireland Baldwin‘s choice of attire for the Victoria’s Secret show?

  • Ireland Baldwin Posts Funny Text Convo With Dad About Dating Olivia Wilde’s Ex

    Ireland Baldwin has officially debunked the rumor that she is dating Olivia Wilde’s 39-year-old ex-husband, filmmaker Tao Ruspoli.

    In a move made by many a young star, Ireland Baldwin accomplished this feat via Instagram.

    19-year-old Ireland Baldwin was technically spotted “getting cozy” with Ruspoli.

    However, the pics that started the rumors appear to just show the two trying to look at something on his cell phone.

    Which, of course, requires two people to get close in order to both see what’s on a screen that spans a few inches.

    You used to call me on my donut…

    A photo posted by Ireland Basinger-Baldwin (@bootsiedonjuan) on

    Ireland Baldwin posted a text conversation between her and her famous dad, Alec Baldwin, to put the rumors to rest.

    That particular post also highlighted how far Ireland Baldwin‘s relationship with her father has come since the infamous “thoughtless pig” voicemail when she was only 11.

    In fact, back in July, Ireland Baldwin posted a pic to Instagram of her and her dad reading a children’s book called If I Were A Pig, clearly poking fun at the past incident.

    If I Were A Pig… I would be Rude and Thoughtless of course!

  • Geena Davis Reveals Why She Won’t Likely Be in ‘Beetlejuice 2’

    Geena Davis says she would love to reprise her role as lovable ghost Barbara Maitland alongside her onscreen husband Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice 2, but says there is a very real reason why she won’t likely be asked to participate in the reboot.

    The 1998 mega-hit Tim Burton film, Beetlejuice, is one of Davis’ favorite roles and although the actress famous for her roles in Thelma in Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own, and her Academy Award-winning turn as Muriel Pritchett in The Accidental Tourist, says its her age that keeps her from reprising her role in Beetlejuice 2.

    In an interview with ETonline, Geena Davis said although Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder are apparently in for the reboot, the 59-year-old actress was not approached to appear in the new movie.

    “I did hear that it’s really happening,” Davis told ET. “No one’s talked to me about it. I would love to! That was one of my favorite movies, too.”

    Davis added that it likely won’t happen because she and co-star Alec Baldwin have aged since the first movie was released.

    “But ghosts probably don’t age, and it’s going to be 30 years now. Of course, I haven’t aged, but I think Alec Baldwin maybe has aged, perhaps,” Davis joked.

    Meanwhile, Geena Davis is as busy as ever and is set to return to the big screen in returning to the big screen in the Indie film, Marjorie Prime, playing the 44-year-old daughter of Jon Hamm of Mad Men fame. Shooting for the film begins in the Hamptons next week.

    “Marjorie Prime is a ‘sci-fi dramedy’ that follows an elderly woman, played by 84-year-old Lois Smith, who interacts with a holographic re-creation of her husband as he looked at a younger age,” according to Page Six.

    Who would like to see Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice 2?

  • Ireland Baldwin And Father, Alec, Have Clearly Buried The Hatchet After Infamous “Thoughtless Pig” Voicemail

    Ireland Baldwin and her dad, Alec Baldwin were not on great terms for a while after Alec’s divorce from Kim Basinger.

    In fact, I think most of us recall the voicemail wherein Alec Baldwin called Ireland Baldwin, 11 at the time, a rude, thoughtless pig.

    The voicemail to Ireland Baldwin included such gems as: “You are a rude, thoughtless little pig,” and, “You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being.”

    He also said, “I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn’t care about what you do as far as I’m concerned.”

    He added, “Once again I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone.”

    But, all that is clearly water under the bridge for Ireland Baldwin and Alec Baldwin.

    Ireland Baldwin posted a pic to Instagram which showed her and Alec Baldwin mocking the years-ago incident.

    If I Were A Pig… I would be Rude and Thoughtless of course!

    A photo posted by Ireland Basinger Baldwin (@irelandbbaldwin) on

    Alec also enjoyed copying Ireland Baldwin’s sultry stance on the red carpet for the N.Y.C. premiere of Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation on Monday, according to People.

    And it seems Ireland Baldwin is no stranger to posting sweet messages about her father.

    Happy Father's Day AB

  • Hilaria Baldwin Posts Lingerie Photo Two Days After Giving Birth

    Hilaria Baldwin is not going to let a little baby belly get her down.

    In fact, in a gesture of kindness and solidarity with womankind, Hilaria Baldwin is going to use her baby belly as encouragement to others.

    Hilaria Baldwin gave birth to a baby boy, her second child with Alec Baldwin, on Wednesday.

    Rafael Thomas Baldwin was born healthy and happy to his insanely fit and health-conscious mom, Hilaria Baldwin, without incident and everyone is healthy and happy.

    Now, Hilaria Baldwin is ready to get rid of that baby belly and she’s prepared to help the rest of us do it, too. All the while encouraging women to love their bodies, no matter the shape.

    Hilaria Baldwin posted a picture to Instagram, in which she is wearing lingerie, only two days after welcoming her bouncing baby boy into the world.

    We are happy to announce the birth of Rafael Thomas Baldwin

    A photo posted by Hilaria Thomas Baldwin (@hilariabaldwin) on

    Hilaria Baldwin wrote, “Update on us… Rafael is doing wonderfully! He is two days old now. Such a sweet little boy. I’m feeling well, been up with him every hour to two hours. I have been planning on doing post belly photos but didn’t know if I was gonna have the guts to actually follow through. I hope you understand my intention here: I believe it is important to accept and love our form after going through a bit of a battle bringing life into this world. Deep breath, here we go…all the way from my glamorous hospital bathroom”

    Such a brave and encouraging thing for Hilaria Baldwin to do as a public figure!

  • Ireland Baldwin Out of Rehab, Sporting New ‘Do

    Ireland Baldwin, daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, is out of rehab now and sporting a new ‘do. The 19-year-old model checked herself out of the SOBA Recovery Center in Malibu–the same facility Selena Gomez once attended, following three weeks of treatment for emotional trauma. She still plans to take part in the facility’s out patient programs.

    According to a report from People magazine, Ireland Baldwin now has brunette tresses–unlike the blonde ones she sported for so long.

    She shared a photo of her new look with her followers via Instagram.

    “Blessed Sunday,” she captioned the shot.

    Ireland Baldwin shared back in mid-April that she was headed to rehab, but didn’t explain why. A source tells People it wasn’t drug or alcohol related, however.

    Ireland shared some tweets when she entered rehab, as well as from the facility.


    Ireland’s uncle, Daniel Baldwin, is the one who introduced her to the rehab facility. He spoke with People when she entered rehab.

    “I love Ireland very much. I am so proud of her for finding the courage to take these very important steps in her life. SOBA is the best possible place for her to be,” he said.

    It certainly sounds like Ireland Baldwin has plenty of support, between her family members and the facility where she sought help. Hopefully with ongoing work via their out patient program, she can make a full recovery from whatever is troubling her.

    Kudos to Ireland Baldwin for reaching out to get the help she needs. She sets a fine example for other young people who need to do so as well. There is no shame in asking for help.

  • Ireland Baldwin Checks Announces Rehab Visit On Twitter

    Ireland Baldwin announced on Twitter today that she will be spending some time at a rehabilitation facility in order to deal with “emotional trauma”, saying she needs to work on overcoming things that she’s been pushing away rather than dealing with.

    The 19-year old daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin laughed off reports from gossip sites that she’s in rehab for drug and substance abuse, saying she’s not much of a partier. Reps for her family have not commented, but a source told People Magazine that the young model is telling the truth about simply wanting to take a break from things to work out some issues.

    “She’s not using, this is not drug-related, she voluntarily checked herself in. She’s just been in some tough situations lately, and it’s gotten a bit stressful and overwhelming, so she’s just being proactive. She’s in there to get the tools she needs to move forward in a positive direction,” the source said.

    Although it has been reported that Ireland’s parents checked her into the facility, nothing of the sort has been confirmed, and reps for Alec Baldwin have not commented. Ireland is reportedly close with her father despite rumors to the contrary when she was just eleven, after a voicemail was leaked in which Baldwin allegedly called his daughter a “rude, thoughtless little pig”. The actor later said that the leak was orchestrated by Kim Basinger, with whom he had a highly publicized divorce.

    “I spoke to a lot of professionals, who helped me … If I committed suicide, (Kim Basinger’s side) would have considered that a victory. Destroying me was their avowed goal,” Alec Baldwin said.

    May 20th will mark the last time David Letterman sits behind his dest at the Ed Sullivan Theater, and leading up to that date he will visit with some very intriguing people.

    Will you be tuning in to watch at least some of David Letterman’s final shows?

  • Scarlett Johansson Will Host ‘Saturday Night Live’ on May 2nd, Heading Toward Five-Timers Club

    Scarlett Johansson is hosting Saturday Night Live on May 2nd. This will be the fourth time hosting SNL for the Avengers: Age of Ultron star, and this gig falls on the day after the film hits theaters.

    It was announced during this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live, which was hosted by Empire star Taraji P. Henson, that Scarlett Johansson was on deck for the May 2nd episode. No musical guest has yet been announced.

    In light of when she is serving as host, could this mean that Scarlett Johansson might break out her Black Widow costume for at least one of the evening’s sketches? It would seem more than likely.

    Scarlett Johansson will need to host only one more time after May 2nd in order to become a member of SNL’s coveted five-timers club. So far only 15 people have been ‘inducted’ into the group. They are Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, Drew Barrymore, Candice Bergen, Chevy Chase, Danny DeVito, John Goodman, Elliot Gould, Tom Hanks, Buck Henry, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Paul Simon, Justin Timberlake, and Christopher Walken. The club was first mentioned on Saturday Night Live back in 1990 when Tom Hanks was making his fifth appearance on the show.

    Scarlett Johansson last hosted SNL in 2010. Hopefully it won’t be another five years from May 2nd before she becomes a member of the five-timers club.

    Will you be checking out Scarlett Johansson when Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1st? And will you be tuning in the next night to catch her as she hosts SNL–for the fourth time?

  • Ireland Baldwin Rushed to Hospital With Appendicitis

    Ireland Baldwin, the daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, was rushed to an L.A. hospital on Thursday with what turned out to be appendicitis. The 19-year-old was suffering severe stomach cramps before going to the E.R.

    Alec Baldwin showed up about three minutes behind his daughter. It didn’t take long before Ireland Baldwin was admitted.

    On Friday, Ireland shared a tweet featuring a photo of her in a wheelchair. Her dad’s 57th birthday was that same day.

    According to the Mayo Clinic, appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, which is a finger-shaped pouch that projects from your colon on the lower right side of your abdomen. The appendix doesn’t seem to have a specific purpose. The most common remedy for appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix.

    Hilaria Baldwin shared an Instagram post of Alec Baldwin celebrating his birthday with most of his family members. Sadly, Ireland Baldwin wasn’t yet up to celebrating.

    It’s likely that if Ireland Baldwin had her appendix removed that she is already out of the hospital. An appendectomy is a common surgical procedure performed frequently. Many patients are in and out of the hospital in under two days.

    That said, Ireland Baldwin will still require some time to heal. She likely will need to stay at home and rest for the better part of a week–maybe more.

  • Ireland Baldwin Hospitalized In Severe Pain, Later Tweets ‘Appendicitis Swag’ Photo

    Ireland Baldwin was rushed to the hospital on Thursday after complaining of severe pain in her abdomen, which was later confirmed as appendicitis.

    Doctors of the 19-year-old daughter of Alec Baldwin and ex-wife Kim Basinger suspected the ailment after she was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital complaining of abdominal cramps, a source told E! News.

    On Friday afternoon, Ireland Baldwin confirmed the diagnosis tweeting a pic of herself in a wheelchair, looking a little under the weather.

    “Appendicitis swag,” she tweeted, alongside the pic of herself in the wheelchair with one hand propped against her cheek and comfy blanket on her lap. “Thanks for all of your concern.”

    Soon after Ireland Baldwin was taken to the hospital, dad Alec Baldwin, who celebrated his 57th birthday on Friday, arrived to be with his daughter.

    After the all-clear was given, the actor celebrated his birthday with pregnant wife Hilaria Baldwin and their 1-year-old daughter Carmen.

    Happy birthday dada #BaldwinBabyBump

  • Tina Fey Calls Ellie Kemper’s ‘Kimmy Schmidt’ Delightful

    Tina Fey has done it again. The SNL alum and 30 Rock star has created yet another hilarious sitcom–this time for Netflix. Starring Ellie Kemper from The Office and Bridesmaids fame, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is about a 20-something woman who escaped a cult to start over in New York City.

    “She’s just delightful,” Fey said in an interview with People magazine. “She is so intelligent and energetic and adorable.”

    “I think she is so likable and warm and skilled that I hope people really enjoy watching her,” Tina Fey adds.

    Ellie Kemper is just as excited about Tina Fey as Fey is about her. She calls her role in The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt a ‘dream come true.’

    “I was very excited,” Kemper says of meeting Fey for the first time. “She’s Tina Fey!”

    Ellie Kemper works with a rat on The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Does she harbor any grudges toward Tina Fey for having a rat as a co-star?

    “It was a showbiz rat, so it was calm,” Kemper explains. “It almost felt like a small kitten so it felt doable.”

    Tina Fey created Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt with another 30 Rock alum–Robert Carlock. That combination of talents–along with actors like Alec Baldwin, Jane Krakowski, Tracy Morgan, and Jack McBrayer–made for a hit sitcom that ran for seven seasons.

    Has Tina Fey found the same with Ellie Kemper (Jane Krakowski stars in the Netflix series, too) in The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?

  • Alec Baldwin Gets to Finally Be Mayor of NYC

    Back in 2011, Alec Baldwin toyed with the idea of running for Mayor of New York City. Maybe toyed isn’t the right word. He thought about it enough to give interviews and discuss his philosophy on governing.

    \“There are people who make a lot of money who become rich people, and then there are people who make a lot of money, but they don’t think like rich people do,” he said at the time. “No matter how much money they have, they are the same from their own upbringing. I would definitely put myself in the latter class.”

    “What I think the government should be doing, who I think government should be serving, and in what way and what it should be prioritizing is a lot different than people would think.”

    But Alec Baldwin never did run for mayor, at least not yet. But he gets the chance to play one on TV.

    The show does not have a title yet, but Alec Baldwin will play a billionaire real estate developer named Joe Byrne who becomes Mayor of New York.

    “The character is a philanthropist, a big businessman and well-known tabloid fixture in New York,” Baldwin said recently. “He’s Trump without the baggage, Bloomberg but a Democrat, George Soros if he was in real estate, a left-leaning Democrat who is also a businessman who understands the reality of how the city has to be run to create the right climate for the business community.”

    The show will have a pilot to test the waters, but would be carried on HBO if picked up. Alec Baldwin feels like there is a lot of room to work in the political genre.

    “We’ve seen from shows like Kevin Spacey’s House Of Cards that you can go anywhere creatively,” Baldwin said. “He throws Kate Mara’s character in front of a subway train and you think, what the hell is going on? You can create these Shakespearean character arcs, and pull the curtain back on how New York City is actually run and how political careers are made and lost in the city.”

  • Alec Baldwin Tries His Hand At Rapping For Worthy Cause [VIDEO]

    Alec Baldwin may be starting a career as a rap artist. The actor was recently seen rapping in a video that Chance the Rapper posted on Instagram. The video shows Chance beatboxing while Baldwin raps beside him. This unlikely collaboration came about because Baldwin and Chance the Rapper took part in a fundraiser for Young Chicago Authors, an organization that Chance holds close to his heart. They were joined at the event by Alfre Woodard and A Tribe Called Quest’s Ali. The Young Chicago Authors is an organization that “engages youth in the act of storytelling through spoken word, verse, traditional journalism, playwriting, fiction and many other forms”.

    Chance the Rapper wrote on his Instagram post, “This is me beatboxing while Alec Baldwin raps, he is for the people. Him, Alfred Woodard and Ali from Tribe came thru the city to help raise money for YCA, the organization that built and developed myself and @Malcolmlondon into the leaders we have become. Give it up for them. Beautiful leaders we can all learn from #Chicago #LongLiveTheYoung #YCA.”

    Chance and Baldwin performed the song live to promote the YCA’s Louder than a Bomb poetry festival. The lyrics are actually taken from Carl Sandburg’s poem, “Chicago”.

    Alec Baldwin and Chance the Rapper have a lot more in common than you would believe. Both of them are philanthropists, with Chance being involved in a lot of charities and organizations in his hometown of Chicago. He frequently speaks out about the dangers of gun violence in Chicago communities.

    Chance the Rapper burst onto the scene with his mixtapes 10 Day and Acid Rap, with Acid Rap securing his spot as one of the best upcoming rappers in recent years. The mixtape received critical acclaim and was included in several “Best Albums of 2013” lists. In January 2015, Chance the Rapper was listed #7 on the “Forbes 30 under 30” 2015 music list.

  • Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper Star in ‘Aloha’

    Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper star in a new romantic comedy called Aloha. They are joined by a star-studded cast, including Rachel McAdams, Bill Murray, Alec Baldwin, John Krasinski, and Danny McBride. The first official trailer for Aloha was released this week.

    Written and directed by Jerry Maguire’s Cameron Crowe, Aloha not only features a robust cast, but a gorgeous backdrop–set in Hawaii, obviously, as well. Bradley Cooper portrays a military contractor who returns to Hawaii, where he experienced his greatest career triumph as well as a broken heart at the hands of with his former girlfriend–played by Rachel McAdams. His character finds himself reconnecting with his ex while falling for an Air Force watchdog who is assigned to him. She is played by Emma Stone.

    Emma Stone has been busy. Not only has she been working on Aloha, she has also been playing Sally Bowles on Broadway in Cabaret. She hands the reins to that role over to Sienna Miller, however, beginning on February 17th–leaving her open for even more new roles.

    Check out the trailer for Aloha.

    MTV.com probably sums up Emma Stone’s role in Aloha best.

    “Emma Stone is so stratospherically adorable as a peppy military liaison that it might cause overheating in the cockles of your stony, gray heart.”

    Will you be checking out Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper on the big screen in Aloha? The film is set to hit theaters in May.

  • Michael Keaton: ‘Birdman’ Actor Up for ‘Beetlejuice’ Remake

    Michael Keaton has made news in recent weeks for his role in Birdman. In fact, the role earned the actor a Golden Globe. But it’s Beetlejuice–his film from back in 1988–that has the actor excited at the moment. Michael Keaton starred as ‘a manic, demented spirit,’ alongside costars Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, and Geena Davis in the Tim Burton film.

    Burton is “unique, and that’s not a word you can apply to many people,” Keaton said during a recent interview with People magazine. “And also original–certainly not a word you can apply to many people. He is both of those things and also an artist.”

    Keaton explained that when unveiling the role, Burton “saw the bigger picture” but “couldn’t articulate the visuals he saw. It wasn’t quite there yet [but] because he’d given me a couple things to think about, I said, ‘Give me a day.’”

    Tim Burton recently admitted that there is a script written and ready to roll for a Beetlejuice sequel (actually Burton doesn’t want to call it a sequel) and that he would love to work with Michael Keaton once again.

    Will Michael Keaton sign on for the role?

    “I hope,” he said. “We don’t know yet.”

    It certainly sounds like there must be lots to iron out before filming for a Beetlejuice sequel might get underway, but fans of the original are no doubt extremely excited just to learn that such a film is even a possibility. Beetlejuice had a cult following, and no one but Michael Keaton could possibly play the lead role.

    Were you a Beetlejuice fan? Could you see an older Michael Keaton once again wearing the black and white striped suit and playing the role of that ‘manic, demented spirit’ once again? Do you suppose Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Winona Ryder will be asked to sign on, too?

  • Alec and Hilaria Baldwin Share the News That They are Expecting Another Child in 2015 Via Instagram

    Alec and Hilaria Baldwin announced on Instagram Thursday that their family will be increasing in 2015.

    Hilaria posted a beautiful sunset photo of husband Alec holding their 16-month-old daughter, Carmen Gabriela, as she touches her momma’s bare belly that shows little evidence yet of pregnancy.

    “The sun has set on 2014,” Hilaria captioned the beach photo. “2015 is going to be very exciting as we are thrilled to announce we are expecting another little addition to our family!”

    The 56-year-old 30 Rock alum made his own announcement via Twitter on Thursday.

    “2015 equals Mommy, Daddy, Carmen and a special guest star…,” he wrote.

    Happy New Year

    This will be the couple’s second child. Alex is also dad to daughter Ireland, 19, with ex-wife Kim Basinger.

    Alec married the 30 year-old yoga instructor in June 2012, and they welcomed little Carmen on Aug. 23, 2013.

  • Chris Pine Shoots Down Any Plans For a Jack Ryan Sequel, Quoting a Disappointing Box Office

    Chris Pine shot down any plans to to return to the big screen as Jack Ryan anytime soon because of a disappointment showing at the box office earlier this year..

    In an interview with Moviefone, the Star Trek actor said a sequel to Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, which opened Jan. 15 to $15.4 million and has only made $50.6 million in domestic earnings, said a sequel is highly unlikely.

    “No, I don’t think it made enough money for that to happen,” Pine said. “That’s one of my deep regrets, that we didn’t totally get that right.”

    Although Pine doesn’t see a sequel in the future, he added that he still has respect for the franchise and wouldn’t mind seeing someone else take over the role that has been played by some of the greats — Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck.

    “It’s a great franchise, and if it’s not me, then I hope it gets a fifth life at this point,” continued Pine, who can currently be seen in Into the Woods. “It’s just great. I love the spy genre. I hope it’s done again and with a great story.”

    The Jack Ryan films began back in 1990 with The Hunt for Red October, when Alec Baldwin played the character. Harrison Ford took over the role for two films, including the highest-grossing film of the franchise, Clear and Present Danger, and Ben Affleck played the spy in 2002’s The Sum of All Fears.
