  • Irina Shayk Stole The Runway At ‘Zoolander 2’ Fashion Show In NYC

    Irina Shayk wowed Zoolander 2 premiere attendees when she and her fellow models showed up for a surprise fashion show.

    Shayk stepped on the purple carpet in a red, white and blue printed Marc Jacobs gown during the Zoolander 2 world premiere in New York City on Tuesday evening. Her flowing semi-sheer gown also featured a low feathered neckline that highlighted her enviable curves. Shayk complemented her gown with a pair of silver high heeled shoes.

    She finished her look with a dramatic smoky eye shadow and a swipe of rose pink lipstick to enhance her full lips.
    Irina Shayk posted a clip of her walking the Zoolander- inspired catwalk on her Instagram account which she captioned, “When they’re watching u serve a #Zoolander2 walk! Sneak peak of this evening!”

    “So much fun, thanks for having me @voguemagazine rocking beautiful @marcjacobs,” the caption read.

    The 30-year-old model was joined by Gigi Hadid who looked very stunning in a patriotic themed off-the shoulder gown which she paired with silver open-toed heels. Fellow model Stella Maxwell, who also appeared at the impromptu fashion show, shared her Zoolander moment on Instagram. “Hittin the RUNWAY 4 #zoolander @zoolander,” Maxwell wrote.

    With my fellow Lioness Stella Maxwell, at last nights #Zoolander2 Vogue Fashion show.. So much fun! More pics below..http://www.vogue.com/13397193/irina-shayk-model-behind-scenes-zoolander-2-premiere/ Posted by Irina Shayk on Wednesday, February 10, 2016
    Irina Shayk is currently dating actor Bradley Cooper, 41, and it looks like their relationship is going strong despite persisting breakup rumors. The two were spotted walking hand in hand in New York on Sunday. A source reportedly told E! News that Shayk is really close to Cooper’s mom, but there are no signs of engagement yet. Stars of Zoolander 2 – Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrel and Penelope Cruz- also hit the purple carpet in clothes reflecting their on-screen characters. In the second installment of the 2001 hit Zoolander, Stiller and Wilson return to modeling when an opposing company threatens to take them out from the business.

  • Taya Kyle, Widow of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle, Confronts President Obama Over Gun Control

    Taya Kyle, the widow of Chris Kyle, whose story made it to Hollywood with Bradley Cooper’s starring role in American Sniper, confronted President Obama Thursday over gun control. She told the president that gun control won’t prevent mass shootings like the recent one in San Bernardino, California.

    It was during an event in Fairfax, Virginia at George Mason University that Taya Kyle spoke up when the president walked over to greet her.

    “[What] we have to recognize is we cannot outlaw murder, because the people who are murdering are breaking the law, but they also don’t have the moral code that we have,” she said, according to CNN. “They can do the same amount of damage with a pipe bomb. The problem is that they want to murder. We want to think we can make a law and people will follow it, but by the very nature of their crime, they are not following it.”

    Taya Kyle went on to say she hopes the country will “value freedom” to bear arms.

    President Obama, who also took questions and comments from others during this town hall-type event, blamed the NRA for convincing citizens that the government wants to take away all guns. He added that if his plan was to ban all guns, he would have done so much earlier in his presidency.

    “If you look at where the areas are with the highest gun ownership, those are the places that the crime hasn’t dropped down that much,” he told Taya Kyle. “The way it is described is that we are trying to take away everybody’s guns. Our position is consistently mischaracterized…If you listen to the rhetoric, it is so over-the-top, it is so overheated.”

    The president added that he wants Congress to conduct better background checks to keep the country safe, adding that he has never owned a gun.

    “All of us can agree that it makes sense to do everything we can to keep guns out of the hands of people who would do others harm, or themselves harm,” he said at the time. “The fact that the system doesn’t catch every single person has to be weighed against the fact that we might be able to save a whole bunch of families from the grief that some of the people in this audience have had to go through.”

    Taya Kyle is the widow of Chris Kyle, who was shot and killed by a war vet with PTSD in February 2013.

  • Caitlyn Jenner Receives Barbara Walters’ Top Honor, Walters Rocks Leather Pants at 86

    Caitlyn Jenner was named Barbara Walters’ Most Fascinating Person of 2015. Walters hailed the former Bruce Jenner as a “symbol of hope for the transgender community.” She made the announcement on her annual 10 Most Fascinating People special that aired last week.

    “Our choice for the most fascinating person of the year was once called the world’s greatest athlete,” Walters, who is 86, began. “Traditionally that title was given to the man who won the Olympic decathlon. When Bruce Jenner won it in 1976, it was a huge accomplishment that had everybody talking. But it was nothing like this. When Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner, there was a seismic shift in the gender universe.”

    Her “celebrity has helped launch a national discussion about transgender rights,” Walters explained as video highlights from Caitlyn’s year appeared on the screen. “She has become a champion for the transgender community, raising awareness and advocating for acceptance.”

    “Famous and familiar, she raised awareness and acceptance of transgendered people,” she continued. “Through her own transformation, Caitlyn Jenner transformed society this year, and that, for us, makes her the most fascinating person of 2015.”

    Caitlyn Jenner topped a list of nine additional “fascinating people,” including Amy Schumer, Misty Copeland, Bradley Cooper, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Ronda Rousey, Donna Karan, and Tracy Morgan.

    Not everyone was thrilled about Caitlyn Jenner’s top spot on Barbara Walters’ list. Equally as disturbing to some were the black leather pants the 86-year-old wore on the show.

    The leather pants were different, that’s for sure, but Barbara Walters managed to pull the look off with grace–even with countless viewers likely doing a double take and asking, “Is Barbara Walters wearing leather pants?”

    What’s your take on Caitlyn Jenner topping Barbara Walters’ annual list?

    And what did you think of Babs rocking those leather pants?

  • Amy Schumer Makes Barbara Walters’ 2015 Most Fascinating People List

    Amy Schumer has definitely had a fulfilling year. She’s ending it with quite an honor, too. When Barbara Walters announced her list of 2015’s Most Fascinating People, Schumer made the cut.

    In addition to her comedy sketches that are raunchy but hilarious, Amy Schumer hit the big screen this year with Trainwreck. She is working on a new screenplay with BFF Jennifer Lawrence.

    Entertainers know they’ve made the grade when asked to host SNL. Yes, Amy Schumer did that in 2015, too.

    In recent days, Schumer has made news for posing nearly nude–wearing nothing but undies and a pair of heels–for the 2016 Pirelli calendar. Annie Liebovitz created the masterpiece.

    Just today–in the aftermath of Wednesday’s deadly massacre in San Bernardino, California, Amy Schumer posted a series of Tweets against gun violence.

    Yes, there’s way more to Amy Schumer than just her often-vile tongue. Barbara Walters clearly recognizes that, and surely others do, too.

    In addition to Amy Schumer, fellow SNL alum Tracy Morgan also made the list of 2015’s Most Fascinating People, as did ballet dancer Misty Copeland, UFC fighter Ronda Rousey, actor Bradley Cooper, fashion designer Donna Karan, and presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders.

    Are you surprised Amy Schumer made the list?

  • Kate Winslet Doesn’t Want in on Gender Wage Inequality Talk

    Kate Winslet doesn’t want in on the discussion on gender wage inequality. She won’t be penning any opinion pieces like Jennifer Lawrence, and she doesn’t want to take part in the conversation. In fact, she says she finds it “a bit vulgar.”

    “I’m having such a problem with these conversations,” she said. “Because they keep coming up, and I understand why they are coming up, but maybe it’s a British thing. I don’t like talking about money…it’s a bit vulgar isn’t it?”

    While Bradley Cooper and Josh Hutcherson lauded Jennifer Lawrence for her recent public stance, Kate Winslet disapproves about talking about money in public.

    “I don’t think that’s a very nice conversation to have publicly at all,” she said. “I’m quite surprised by these conversations to be honest, simply because it seems quite a strange thing to be discussing out in the open like that.”

    Kate Winslet actually believes she has never faced inequality within the entertainment industry because of her gender.

    “Honestly, no,” she said when asked. “And if I’d ever been in that situation I would have either dealt with it or removed myself from it…I haven’t ever felt that I’ve really had to stick up for myself just because I’m a woman.”

    Do you think Kate Winslet is in denial? Or is she truly of the mindset that such discussions aren’t appropriate in a public setting?

    Jennifer Lawrence should be hailed a hero for her outspokenness on the topic in Hollywood.

    Why wouldn’t Kate Winslet want to jump on that bandwagon?

    Irina Shayk has officially got it made. The former Sports Illustrated model is now the face of L’Oreal Paris.

    But is she “worth it?”

    According to Instagram, she’s well worth it.

    “Speaking of hair envy ???our new lorealista @irinashayk has hair for daaays ? #worthit,” L’Oreal Paris touts the merits of Irina Shayk in this photo.

    Bradley Cooper no doubt agrees.

  • Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper: Never Had Sex, Never Will

    Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper have done some pretty steamy scenes together on the big screen–so much so that many have wondered why the two have never hooked up in real life.

    Or have they?

    That’s the question Howard Stern asked Bradley Cooper when he was a guest on Stern’s Sirius XM satellite radio show on Wednesday.

    “When are you two gonna have sex?” Stern asked Cooper of Jennifer Lawrence. “Everyone is waiting for that.”

    “Never,” he replied. “It’s just not the way we are together.”

    Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence starred opposite one another in Silver Linings Playbook, Serena, and American Hustle. They will star in Joy, too, which is due out on Christmas Day.

    Howard Stern’s question wasn’t all that unfamiliar to Bradley Cooper. He and Jennifer Lawrence have both been asked the question a number of times.

    At the 2013 Academy Awards, Cooper was asked if he and Jennifer Lawrence were dating.

    “Oh my God. That’s very funny,” Cooper said. “No, my God, no.”

    “No, no, no, no, no, not even close,” he continued. “First of all, I could be her father. No, I’m kidding. But no, not even close.”

    Jennifer Lawrence maintains the two get along so well and work so famously together because they’ve never had sex. She said this past March during a screening of Serena that their secret was “no sex.”

    Lots of fans of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence are no doubt sighing big, disappointed sighs. They have likely held out hope that the couple who is so convincingly sexy together on screen won’t ever become a couple in real life.

    Don’t you love seeing Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence play opposite each other in the movies? Are you among those who secretly wished they’d start dating for real?

  • Bradley Cooper’s Efforts To Help Women Will Not Be Replicated By Jeremy Renner

    Bradley Cooper has been speaking up about the pay gap between male and female movie stars, saying he’s going to start helping actresses negotiate better wages from movies he is interested in working on.

    Cooper’s American Hustle co-star Jeremy Renner, on the other hand, doesn’t think it’s his job to bother with that kind of thing. That may be true, but his further illustrates Cooper’s willingness to go above and beyond to help his female co-stars.

    As you may know, Jennifer Lawrence, who was named the world’s highest-paid actress last year, and also starred in American Hustle, recently penned an essay on the subject of the pay gap for Lena Dunham’s newsletter Lenny. Here’s an excerpt:

    It’s hard for me to speak about my experience as a working woman because I can safely say my problems aren’t exactly relatable. When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky people with dicks, I didn’t get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself. I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early. I didn’t want to keep fighting over millions of dollars that, frankly, due to two franchises, I don’t need. (I told you it wasn’t relatable, don’t hate me).

    But if I’m honest with myself, I would be lying if I didn’t say there was an element of wanting to be liked that influenced my decision to close the deal without a real fight. I didn’t want to seem “difficult” or “spoiled.” At the time, that seemed like a fine idea, until I saw the payroll on the Internet and realized every man I was working with definitely didn’t worry about being “difficult” or “spoiled.” This could be a young-person thing. It could be a personality thing. I’m sure it’s both. But this is an element of my personality that I’ve been working against for years, and based on the statistics, I don’t think I’m the only woman with this issue. Are we socially conditioned to behave this way? We’ve only been able to vote for what, 90 years? I’m seriously asking…

    The essay won praise from many, including her peers and even presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

    As the essay gained attention, Bradley Cooper applauded Lawrence and told Reuters about his plan.

    In his own bid to address the pay gap, Cooper said he has begun teaming up with female co-stars to negotiate salaries before any film he is interested in working on goes into production.

    “I don’t know where it’s changing otherwise but that’s something that I could do,” Cooper said. “Usually you don’t talk about the financial stuff, you have people. But you know what? It’s time to start doing that,” he added.

    Cooper had also mentioned that Amy Adams was especially underpaid for her role in American Hustle (which won her a a best actress nomination).

    Now, Jeremy Renner is in the headlines for his comments on the whole thing. Business Insider asked him if he’d be willing to negotiate alongside female co-stars as Cooper has talked about doing. According to the publisher, Renner responded, “That’s not my job…I don’t know contracts and money and all that sort of stuff.

    According to the report, Renner did add that he fully supports actress receiving equal pay, but he’s just more focused on his own craft, saying, “I’m a performer and I know human behavior. When it comes to that sort of stuff I let other people deal with that. I do what I’m good at, that’s what I focus on.”

    Renner was in the headlines earlier this year for calling the Black Widow character from the Avengers films a slut. He later apologized after the Internet raised a stink.

  • Natalie Portman’s Jane Got a Gun Trailer Released … Finally.

    Natalie Portman finally debuted in the first trailer for her role in Jane Got a Gun, which tells the story of a pioneer woman who resorts to seeking the help of her ex-lover to defend her home and family from a gang of bounty hunters.

    A troubled production, Jane Got a Gun was originally touted as a Blacklist script from Insurgent writer Brian Duffield to be directed by We Need to Talk About Kevin director Lynne Ramsay and starring Natalie Portman, Michael Fassbender and Joel Edgerton. That didn’t last long. Fassbender soon left because of reported schedule conflicts, and Ramsay left the production soon after. And then, Warrior director Gavin O’Connor quickly replaced Ramsay and hired Anthony Tambakis to rewrite the script.

    The production also suffered several cast changes. According to Entertainment Weekly, Jude Law and Bradley Cooper considered taking on the leading man role.

    But finally, after several pushed release dates, we’re finally getting our first look at footage from the film.

    The international trailer, with Portman, Edgerton and Scottish native Ewan McGregor doing a Southern accent, was released on Wednesday.

    Jane Got a Gun with Natalie Portman will be released in France and the U.K. next month and is expected to hit theaters in the U.S in February.

    Think you’ll go see Natalie Portman in Jane Got a Gun?

  • Sienna Miller Talks Gender Pay Gap

    Sienna Miller Talks Gender Pay Gap

    Sienna Miller is the latest actress to discuss the gender pay gap that exists both in Hollywood and elsewhere.

    During an appearance on Good Morning America, Miller talked about a time she refused to do a Broadway play because she found out she was being offered less than half of what her male co-star was being offered.

    “It was a situation where there were two people in a play and I was offered less than half what the male was offered. It would’ve felt undignified for me,” she said.

    “I think everybody has to come together to do something. I think it’s outrageous in this day and age, when women are doing the same jobs as men that we are undervalued to that degree. But I also think that it comes from within women. And I think there is a global conversation happening that is really inspiring. But it’s going to take sacrifice.”

    Jennifer Lawrence recently made headlines with an essay on this problem. In a piece called
    Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co-Stars, Lawrence said she was mad at herself when she realized she was being paid less than her male counterparts.

    “It’s hard for me to speak about my experience as a working woman because I can safely say my problems aren’t exactly relatable. When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky people with dicks, I didn’t get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself. I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early,” she wrote.

    “Jeremy Renner, Christian Bale, and Bradley Cooper all fought and succeeded in negotiating powerful deals for themselves. If anything, I’m sure they were commended for being fierce and tactical, while I was busy worrying about coming across as a brat and not getting my fair share. Again, this might have NOTHING to do with my vagina, but I wasn’t completely wrong when another leaked Sony email revealed a producer referring to a fellow lead actress in a negotiation as a “spoiled brat.” For some reason, I just can’t picture someone saying that about a man.”

    Speaking of Bradley Cooper, who has starred with Lawrence in multiple films and is appearing in a new film with Sienna Miller, he recently made a pledge to reveal his salary information with female costars in order to help them get a fairer deal.

  • Jennifer Lawrence Receives Big Compliment from Hillary Clinton

    When Jennifer Lawrence wrote her recent op-ed, speaking out against gender inequality, she wasn’t looking for compliments. She was simply looking for people to pay women the same as men if they’re equally qualified for the job.

    Just because the Hunger Games actress wasn’t fishing for compliments, doesn’t mean she didn’t get any–and one in particular likely trumps the rest.

    Yes, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lauded Jennifer Lawrence, saying it’s hard to speak out against issues, especially when it might make you unpopular.

    Jennifer Lawrence even received kudos from male actors. Bradley Cooper has worked with Jennifer Lawrence a number of times. The two starred in The Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle.

    Jennifer Lawrence is nothing if not gutsy. She hasn’t taken on just Hollywood, either. She has taken on gender inequality everywhere.

    Hollywood needs a strong female figure who is not only brilliant on the big screen, but brilliant and brave behind the scenes as well.

    They have certainly found that in Jennifer Lawrence.

  • Emma Stone Plays Much Younger Love Interest in Woody Allen Film. Again.

    Woody Allen is so smitten with Emma Stone, he can’t say enough.

    “Her allure is everything: She’s beautiful, she’s bright, she’s gifted, she’s sexy, she’s intelligent, she can do comedy, she can do serious things, she sings, she dances, she’s a pleasure to work with,”

    Woody Allen cast Emma Stone in his film Irrational Man. Stone plays an undergrad who falls for an older college professor.

    “I think she’s going to be the biggest female star in America over the next couple years,” Allen enthused about his leading lady. “She’s phenomenal. It’s just a pleasure to, you know, you come in in the morning at 7:30 on the set, and there’s Emma Stone: Your heart gets a little boost of adrenaline.”

    So does that mean Woody Allen will keep casting Emma Stone?

    “Well, she’s not in my next film,” he says. “But if I had anything that was right for her – and she was not doing another film at the time, she was available – I’d certainly hope that she would do it.”

    And what about Emma Stone? Maybe that depends on if she would be again cast as a younger woman involved with an older man. Irrational Man was the fourth film in which Stone played a woman in a relationship with an older man.

    Stone was opposite Bradley Cooper in Aloha, Ed Norton in Birdman, Colin Firth in Magic in the Moonlight, and now opposite Joaquin Phoenix in Irrational Man.

    Remember that Maggie Gyllenhaal recently claimed she was passed over for a role opposite an older man. The reason was shocking.

    “I’m 37 and I was told recently I was too old to play the lover of a man who was 55. It was astonishing to me. It made me feel bad, and then it made me feel angry, and then it made me laugh.”

    How does Emma Stone feel about this tendency in Hollywood?

    “It’s rampant in Hollywood and it’s definitely been that way for a long time, both culturally and in movies. But in Irrational Man, the film is contingent upon the age difference; the movie is about that disparity. And when I did Magic in the Moonlight Colin Firth and I talked about the gap which was huge, absolutely, because he was born the same year as my dad,” Stone says.

    “There’s a lot of conversation about how we want to see people represented on screen and what we need to change as a business to reflect culture in a clearer way and not in an idealized way. There are some flaws in the system,” Stone says.

  • Ashley Tisdale: Vanessa Hudgens’ BFF to Serve as Presenter at Tony Awards in June

    Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens have long been best friends–and now the High School Musical costars have one more thing in common. A love of Broadway has taken Vanessa Hudgens all the way to the stage, starring in the title role in Gigi. Ashley Tisdale will serve as a presenter at the 2015 Tony Awards–celebrating all things Broadway–next month.

    A star-studded cast joins The Suite Life of Zack & Cody star as presenters at the Tony Awards. Bradley Cooper, Bryan Cranston, Taylor Schilling, Joe Manganiello, Amanda Seyfried, Rose Byrne, and Taye Diggs are just some of the stars to hand out awards at the prestigious event.

    Back in January, Ashley Tisdale surprised Vanessa Hudgens by showing up in Washington, D.C. where she was then starring in Gigi before playing the role on Broadway. The Clipped star shocked her pal when she greeted her backstage at the John F. Kennedy Theater.

    The 2015 Tony Awards will be hosted by Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming. Laura Osnes and Darren Criss will host the festivities live from the red carpet.

    The event will once again pose an opportunity for BFFs Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens to come together. As Tisdale serves as a presenter, Vanessa Hudgens will perform a number from the Broadway production of Gigi.

    Will you be tuning in to the 2015 Tony Awards to see both Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens–as well as a wealth of entertainers and additional presenters?

    The show will air live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City, on CBS, on Sunday, June 7th at 8:00 p.m. ET.

  • Taya Kyle: Chris Kyle’s Widow Receives Stonewall Jackson Award from NASCAR

    Taya Kyle, the widow of Chris Kyle, upon whom the film American Sniper , starring Bradley Cooper, is based, was honored by NASCAR before the Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina on Sunday. She became the first woman ever to receive the Stonewall Jackson Award.

    According to a report from People magazine, the Stonewall Jackson Award is given to “those individuals who demonstrate the highest standards of patriotism.”

    Prior to Sunday’s race, Taya Kyle talked about Chris Kyle’s love of NASCAR and how it came to be.

    Kyle claimed her late husband initially wasn’t a fan, saying he “never got into it.”

    It was after attending a NASCAR military appreciation event that Chris Kyle became hooked.

    “He got to go behind the scenes and he saw the pit crew, and he thought they were such bad-asses because one of the guys broke his finger during the change and didn’t even stop and just kept going,” Taya Kyle said. “Everything was so precise, and then he got to see the strategy behind the race and all that, and he was in love with NASCAR from then on. He was just like a ridiculous fan after that.”

    Chris Kyle got to meet Dale Earnhardt, Jr. once, and that sealed the deal for him.

    “Meeting Dale Jr. was really cool to him because there were some high-ranking officials who were in the tent, and he remembered Dale saying, ‘You know, what? They can wait. I’m talking to these guys; these are guys on the ground,'” Taya Kyle said. “And he spent some time laughing with them and talking with them, and that really endeared him to Chris.”

    How nice that NASCAR awarded Taya Kyle with the Stonewall Jackson Award. In addition to the honor of being the first female recipient of the award, she no doubt feels her husband’s eternal pride.

  • Emma Stone Rumored To Be In Negotiations To Sing In ‘Whiplash’ Director’s New Musical ‘La La Land’

    Emma Stone is rumored to be in negotiations to star in Whiplash director, Damien Chazelle’s musical, La La Land, and quite possibly with Ryan Gosling, sources told TheWrap.

    When Emma Watson dropped out to star as Belle in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Emma Stone became the focus of Chazelle and Lionsgate’s search for the perfect actress to play Mia in the musical.

    Ryan Gosling is reportedly the latest actor in negotiations for the male role, alongside Emma Stone.

    “La La Land is a two-hander that follows a pair of dreamers — aspiring actress Mia, who’s lonely desperate to fit in, and cocky yet charismatic jazz pianist Sebastian — who fall in love in Los Angeles,” said The Wrap about the plot. “However, the city that brought them together may tear them apart, as they soon discover that balancing love and art in such a cutthroat climate isn’t easy.”

    La La Land is said to be a movie about “big dreams, the big city and the kind of love that makes life feel like a musical.”

    TheWrap obtained a document written by Chazelle, called the “lookbook” for La La Land, which is a summation of the story, characters, look and tone of the film.

    “At its core, this is a movie about artists in love–and what it means to be an artist in love in arguably the most competitive city on the planet. How do you juggle the need to find success as an artist with the need to share oneself with another human being? And how do you do so in a place where every poster, every street corner and every sign remind you of the glories just beyond reach? L.A. is the “Dream Factory,” and to me there’s something swooningly romantic about that: all those unsung songs and unrealized ideas clouding the air. By casting an affectionate eye on a pair of young hopefuls, while aspiring to the kind of full-fledged romanticism you hardly ever see in today’s movies, I hope to capture the spirit of the city I now call home, and make a movie that feels both classical and urgent–and, yes, intrinsically L.A.,” wrote Chazelle, in part.

    Emma Stone has been very busy of late, especially after her Oscar nomination for Birdman. Her next project is Cameron Crowe’s Aloha with Bradley Cooper, followed by Woody Allen’s Irrational Man, with Joaquin Phoenix.

    It’s no wonder Emma Stone and her boyfriend of three years, Amazing Spiderman co-star Andrew Garfield are reportedly taking a break. There just no time for romance when you’re portraying romantic leads.

  • Bradley Cooper: Jennifer Lawrence Says ‘No Sex’ With Him

    Bradley Cooper recently split from longtime girlfriend Suki Waterhouse, and he has a very distinct chemistry with Jennifer Lawrence. Might there be something in the future between these two? Probably, but it will no doubt be on the big screen.

    Jennifer Lawrence recently talked about Bradley Cooper, and she even called him her ‘work husband.’ She made sure to share that there is “no sex” in their relationship, however.

    Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence have starred together in films like Silver Linings Playbook , American Hustle and most recently Serena. The on screen chemistry between the two is truly amazing.

    Bradley Cooper spoke recently about being cast with Jennifer Lawrence in these films.

    “Honestly, it’s just happenstance,” he said. “We both got cast in Silver Linings, and she was going to this other movie and the role was open and so that worked out.”

    Both Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence attended the Cinema Society and Dior Beauty hosted screening of the duo’s most recent film, Serena, in New York City on Saturday.

    “I respect her so much as a professional, as an actor, and I think she’s the best there is,” Cooper said of Lawrence. “I just learn from her. You always want to work with people who are better than you.”

    It seems the feeling is a mutual one.

    “And I feel the same way about him,” Lawrence added.

    It was at this gathering that she interjected the ‘no sex’ aspect of their relationship. In fact, Jennifer Lawrence has been involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

    Do you suppose now that Bradley Cooper and Suki Waterhouse are through, however, that he and Jennifer Lawrence might become something more–perhaps something with sex involved? After all, Chris Martin can’t seem to completely sever his ties with Gwyneth Paltrow.

  • Betty White: 93-Year-Old Comedy Legend Lip-Locks With Hollywood Hottie Bradley Cooper

    Betty White made sure that her appearance during the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special was one to remember when she started making out with hottie Bradley Cooper.

    The 93-year-old Golden Girls star appeared as a guest on The Californians sketch along with Taylor Swift, who played a hair-eating cousin, and Scandal’s Kerry Washington who played the doctor with the hilarious paternity-test results. Sketch regulars Kristin Wiig and Fred Armisen reprised their characters during their short comeback on the SNL Stage. The Hangover star Bradley Cooper then emerged out of the backstage wearing a blonde wig and a pair of short shorts. Cooper played Craig the pool boy in the 9-minute sketch that went overboard when White locked lips with Cooper.

    The crowd went wild as the two shared a passionate kiss that lasted long until the sketch ended. The internet was on fire as #SNL40 became a trending topic.  Fans were insanely jealous over the fact that White made out with one of the sexiest men alive and some are saying how they want to be Betty White when they turn 90.

    Betty White has a eight decade-spanning career in Hollywood, making her one of the greatest comedy legends living today. She became the oldest person to guest host on Saturday Night Live and her episode was considered to be a major ratings success. She even won the Primetime Emmy award for her SNL guest appearance.

    The entire special ran for more than three hours and the event had a bunch of A-listers in attendance. Aside from White and Cooper, stars like Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake, Melissa McCarthy, Tom Hanks, and Paul McCartney were also present during the show. Former cast members like Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Eddie Murphy made cameos during the event, paying tribute to the program that helped launch their careers in comedy.

  • Emma Stone And Bradley Cooper In “Aloha”

    Emma Stone is set to star in a new movie with Bradley Cooper, Aloha.

    Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper in the same movie is impressive enough, but the rest of the cast is enough reason in itself to go see this film.

    Aloha is the first film from Cameron Crowe since We Bought a Zoo.

    Aloha follows Bradley Cooper, as playboy military contractor Brian Gilcrest, as he returns to Hawaii after messing up an important assignment.

    Emma Stone plays Allison Ng, who is a hard-hitting no-nonsense Air Force officer who finds herself slowly falling in love with Gilcrest as she works with him.

    However, no romance movie is complete without a little competition that seems to threaten a perfect love. Emma Stone’s character is no exception.

    Emma Stone’s competition is the lovely Rachel McAdams, who stars as Gilcrest’s ex-girlfriend who struggled to put her life back together after he left her in Hawaii.

    In addition to her pretty face, Rachel McAdams exudes sweet nostalgia for Bradley Cooper’s character.

    Sweet suspense! Who will win Brian Gilcrest’s heart in the end?

    In addition to Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, and Rachel McAdams, the film also features Bill Murray as a billionaire who is in the process of launching a satellite system.

    Not to mention John Krasinski as Rachel McAdams’ current partner, and even the great Alec Baldwin as Gilcrest’s cranky superior officer.

    This movie looks so great!

    Emma Stone hasn’t really played many a role as a by-the-book stickler.

    What do you think of Emma Stone’s role in Aloha as Bradley Cooper’s unlikely love interest?

  • 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.

  • Rachel McAdams in “Aloha”: First Look At Trailer

    Rachel McAdams, along with a slew of other big stars, is in the new Cameron Crowe movie, Aloha.

    Aloha stars Bradley Cooper as a military contractor, Brian Gilcrest, who returns to the site of one of his greatest career wins after blowing a big assignment.

    That career win would be none other than the U.S. Space program in Honolulu, Hawaii.

    Rachel McAdams plays his ex-girlfriend who struggled to put her life back together after he left her in Hawaii.

    Rachel McAdams’ character and her nostalgia must compete with the new girl.

    Emma Stone stars as Allison Ng, who is a hard-hitting Air Force officer who slowly, but surely, falls in love with Gilcrest as she works with him.

    If the trailer was interpreted correctly, it seems he has a soft spot for her as well, and must decide whether his heart belongs to Emma Stone’s character or Rachel McAdams as his lovely ex.

    My sister.

    The cast in this movie is amazing.

    In addition to Rachel McAdams, Bradley Cooper, and Emma Stone, it also stars Bill Murray as a billionaire who is in the process of launching a satellite system, John Krasinski as Rachel McAdams’ current partner (boyfriend? husband? Can’t tell.), and even Alec Baldwin as Gilcrest’s angry superior officer.

    This is Cameron Crowe’s first film since We Bought A Zoo. He is also known for many other films including classics like Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, and Say Anything.

    I absolutely cannot wait to see this movie.

    What do you think? Does Aloha look awesome or what? And can you wait to see Rachel McAdams and Emma Stone acting together?

  • Bradley Cooper Talks ‘American Sniper,’ How It Changed His Life

    Bradley Cooper talked with People magazine recently about the experience of playing Chris Kyle in the film American Sniper. More importantly, the actor dished about how the privilege of playing such a role ultimately changed his life. In addition to putting on weight, becoming a proficient target shooter, and studying with a voice coach for the role, Cooper maintains he walked away a better man.

    “I’ve always been interested on a personal level in helping our vets. I’ve been a part of USO on tours for over eight years,” he said. “I had an appreciation for veterans before this, but what I definitely did not know is the toll that it takes on the family.”

    Bradley Cooper and Chris Kyle’s widow, Taya Kyle, hosted screenings of American Sniper for veterans all around the country.

    “People were willing to express themselves in a format that they would never do normally,” Cooper said. “But because they saw Chris’s story, they were willing to say, ‘Thank you for putting a guy I can relate to up there and have it be something right away that I know is accurate.’ ”

    “It’s been life changing,” the actor added.

    He is thrilled with how American Sniper resonates with veterans.

    “People who see it can relate to it and go, ‘Well, if he goes through that, then maybe it’s okay that I’m going through that,” Bradley Cooper says. “‘If his family had to deal with that stuff, then maybe I am not alone.’ That’s a lot of what Chris was doing when he got home. He was telling his story. He got his life together, and a lot of that is when he found a purpose in being able to help vets.”

    Taya Kyle says Bradley Cooper “gets it.”

    “He went above and beyond just acting in a role. He got into the mind and heart of Chris. You can’t do that and not come out with a special appreciation for guys who lost a limb for this,” she explained.

    Cooper says being nominated for an Oscar for his role as Chris Kyle is only part of the thrill of having starred in American Sniper. It means much more to him than that.

    “I would be lying if I said I didn’t get emotional when I heard my name and saw Chris’s picture up there,” Bradley Cooper said. “I thought, ‘Thank God,’ because I felt the role merited that. I just hoped I did a good enough job for the Academy to recognize that his story is worthy to be a part of these other people’s stories.”
