  • Minka Kelly and Chris Evans Back Together? Not So Fast, Folks.

    Minka Kelly and Chris Evans were photographed picking up lunch from Hugo’s Tacos in L.A. Tuesday, and rumors that the two may be back together are rampant.

    “Chris stayed in the car while Minka picked up the order,” an eyewitness told E! News, at the same location where the two were caught making out in October 2012.

    But not so fast, folks.

    “It was just a friendly lunch,” a source insists.

    The duo also spent time with his family in late September, stepping out for karaoke night at Lavender Asian Cuisine & Bar in Evans’s hometown of Sudbury, Massachusetts, according to People.

    “It looked like a family night out,” an eyewitness said. “They were with a bunch of people, including Chris’s family, and Chris and Minka sat in the back while other people in their group got up and did some karaoke.”

    The couple, who began dating in 2007 and broke up for good last year, have never discussed their on-again-off-again relationship.

    After their final breakup in 2013, Kelly kept busy by starring in the first and only season of Fox’s Almost Human.

    The 34-year-old actress also filmed a movie, The World Made Straight, alongside Jeremy Irvine, Haley Joel Osment and Noah Wyle and will star in the 2015 movie, Papa, with Giovanni Ribisi and Joely Richardson.

    As for Evans, he tried his hand at directing, spending the past several months directing and starring in the movie Before We Go.

    “It’s good to be done,” he told IndieWire. “It’s intimidating to be talking about it, because I am so used to being an actor, where your job is a small piece of the puzzle.”

    Evans was also romantically linked to his childhood crush Sandra Bullock after the two were noticed in several public outings.

    “We’ve since married and it started breaking apart, so we separated,” said Bullock, making a joke of the rumors. “We filed for divorce, and I hope everyone can respect our privacy. But we’re going to remain friends and share responsibility of the farm animals we’ve taken on, because you just can’t abandon the animals.”

    Evans also is reprising his role as Captain America in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, which will hit theaters on May 1, 2015.

  • Haley Joel Osment Shares Downside Of Early Fame

    Haley Joel Osment was an adorable little boy who starred in numerous films during the 90’s. While he seemed to enjoy his childhood fame, a now older and wiser Osment says that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

    Osment said that he was grateful to have such a successful career at such a young age but said that it made things complicated for him as an adult.

    “When you’re a kid and you grow up, it takes some time for people to associate you with more things other than that initial thing. So it’s a challenge but I’ve been lucky enough to do a lot of projects recently that are all over the map,” he said. “It’s created a lot of opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.”

    Osment doesn’t work on as many films now as he did when he was a youngster, but he does still enjoy acting and recently appeared in Kevin Smith’s new horror-comedy Tusk.

    He said that although he is an adult now, many people still expect him to be the same child actor that he used to be and although he has tried to change their views of him, he says it isn’t possible.

    “I think it would be a mistake to consciously try and fight it. I’m very proud of those films. It’s a really happy thing,” he said. “You try and do something to try and shatter that image in people’s minds, it’s kind of not a nice thing to do to your audience. I think I would be trying too hard, you know?”

    Osment went on to say that although he doesn’t want to be remembered as the kid from The Sixth Sense, without that film he doubts that he would have had a career at all.

  • Haley Joel Osment Set To Open Portland Film Festival With ‘Sex Ed’

    If you’re wondering whatever happened to The Sixth Sense wonder child Haley Joel Osment, you’ll finally get your answer at the upcoming Portland Film Festival. The film Sex Ed stars Osment and is opening the festival on August 26, Tuesday.

    After his success starring in movies such as Forrest Gump, AI and Pay It Forward as a child, Osment’s film career petered out. His performance in Sex Ed signals a comeback that people who have seen the movie are starting to believe will actually happen. “It’s genuine, funny, and not the least bit precious about its material, which involves inner-city students and an indisputably adult Haley Joel Osment as their plucky sex ed teacher. This is exactly the sort of movie you want to stumble across on the festival circuit,” wrote Ben Coleman of The Portland Mercury.

    Sex Ed will open the Portland Film Festival at the Crystal Ballroom. Osment will make an appearance at the premiere with director Isaac Feder and several other cast members. In the film Osment plays a college graduate who wants to teach algebra but finds himself roped into becoming a sex education teacher while still being a virgin.

    This is the second year of the Portland Film Festival, which started last year and was considered to be a success. Independent filmmakers Joshua Leake and Jay Cornelius started the festival in order to screen new films during an event that is “by filmmakers and for filmmakers.” Independent films and documentaries are featured at the event.

    The Portland Film Festival closes on September 1 with a film directed by another celebrity, Jason Momoa of Conan The Barbarian (2011) and Game Of Thrones fame. His film, Road To Paloma, stars Wes Studi and Lisa Bonet. Momoa will also be conducting a workshop on using DSLR cameras with his director of photography, Brian Mendoza.

  • Haley Joel Osment’s Famous ‘I See Dead People’ Line Still Popular

    Even if you don’t know his name, you’ve definitely heard his signature line. Haley Joel Osment was the famous little boy in the 1999 Blockbuster hit film, The Sixth Sense.

    Osment, who starred opposite Bruce Willis in the chilling film, portrayed the role of Cole Sear, who had the eerie ability to communicate with the dead. However, he couldn’t just hear them. He could actually see them, hence his famous lie.

    “I see dead people,” was the most popular line of the film. It immediately became a fan favorite, as one of the greatest lines in film. It has been used in a number of other movies, TV sitcoms, and of course, parodies. That one liner catapulted Osment to a pivotal level of stardom.

    Now, 15 years later, Osment is still amazed at the longevity of the one-liner from his Oscar-nominated role, reports TODAY. On Thurs., Jan. 9,  the 25-year-old actor sat down for an interview with Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Access Hollywood Live. Osment shared a little about life then and how the notable role has followed him throughout the years.

    “Looking back, it makes sense now, but when we shot the movie nobody was thinking … that it was going to be the hit that was and established that sort of call sign,” he continued.

    With the release of The Sixth Sense, Osment’s career soared, opening doors for other high-end film projects like A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and a slew of voice-over projects like Family Guy, Jungle Book II, and the Kingdom Hearts video game series.

    While most of his projects were behind the scenes, he’s back in the spotlight with a number of upcoming projects slated to be released this year.

    One film project in particular is The Spoils of Babylon TV mini-series. The comedic, Will Ferrell-produced series includes a star-studded cast with Osment starring alongside Tobey Maguire, Kristen Wiig, Val Kilmer, Jessica Alba and of course Ferrell, himself.

    Osment briefly touched on the comedic series, which aired last night on the IFC Channel. “Tobey’s been funny before, but I don’t think anyone has quite seen him like this,” he said. “And Kristen, who is just one of the funniest people around, really knocks it out of the park,” he continued. “It was some of the most fun I’ve ever had.”
