  • Rachel Weisz Steps Out With Hubby Daniel Craig At Governors Awards

    Rachel Weisz was a first class stunner at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ 2015 Governors Awards on Saturday night.

    In attendance with her James Bond hubby, Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz donned a gorgeous red strapless Oscar de la Renta gown. Craig was exceedingly dapper in a classy tux.

    While the weekend was all about Spectre for the two of them and all about honoring some of their A-list friends at the awards ceremony, Rachel Weisz hasn’t just been sitting at home doing nothing.

    Though Rachel Weisz just completed Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster and Paolo Sorrentino’s Youth, she is already slated to take on another major project.

    Rachel Weisz has just taken over a role formerly held by Hilary Swank in the movie Denial, which is based on Deborah E. Lipstadt’s book History on Trial: My Day in Court With a Holocaust Denier.

    The #GovAwards Red Carpet is officially open with Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz.

    The book describes Lipstadt’s court battle with David Irving after Irving accused her of libel. The drama began when Lipstadt referred to him as a Holocaust denier in a previous book.

    Bleecker Street has acquired North American rights to Denial, which will also star Tom Wilkinson and Timothy Spall.

    Bleeker Street CEO Andrew Karpen said, “Mick Jackson’s film will recount this incredible, unbelievable story of two people pitted against each other in a battle over truth, history and integrity. With David Hare’s exhilarating script combined with Rachel Weisz and Tom Wilkinson leading the cast, I’m so proud to be bringing this film to audiences next year.”

  • Charlie Sheen: I Wasn’t Winning, I was In Denial

    Interviewing in the Rolling Stone (also featured on the cover), Charlie Sheen says that his “winning” period following his boot off of Two and a Half Men was more like “total denial”.

    “Clearly, a guy gets fired, his relationships are in the toilet, he’s off on some fucking tour, there’s nothing ‘winning’ about any of that. I mean, how does a guy who’s obviously quicksanded, how does he consider any of it a victory? I was in total denial.”

    Although he admits that “winning” and claiming to be filled with “Tiger Blood” were probably not his best moments, he is still not giving up on his old habits, and still not apologizing for it.

    “I mean, the shit works. Sorry, but it works. Anyway, I don’t see what’s wrong with a few drinks. What’s your drink? Tequila? Mine’s vodka. Straight, because I’ve always said that ice is for injuries, ha ha.”

    Ex-wife Denise Richards also speaks in the interview, saying the two of them have made amends: “He and I are like best friends now — confidants. He tells me everything.” Sheen adds, “And we sleep in separate rooms. Everybody’s going to want to know that, too.”

    Sheen will star in “Anger Management”, coming to FX this summer.
