  • Emily Blunt Crushes on Charlize Theron, As Does John Krasinski, But Not Seth MacFarlane

    Emily Blunt Crushes on Charlize Theron, As Does John Krasinski, But Not Seth MacFarlane

    Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski both admit to having a crush on Charlize Theron. How does that work out? Is this going to become a thing like when Khaleesi offered it to Magic Mike and his wife?

    Emily Blunt is in The Huntsman, the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, which paired Charlize Theron with Kristen Stewart and a blind magic mirror.

    “It was so much fun,” Emily Blunt sid of doing the film. “I loved working with all those people and Charlize is my new girl crush, for sure.”

    That’s when John Krasinski piped up, “She’s my new girl crush, too.”

    Uh-oh. Is Emily Blunt ok with this?

    “She said I’m allowed to say that,” Krasinski quickly added.

    “You don’t have a pass yet,” Blunt clarified. “We’ll discuss that later.”

    In the film, Blunt plays Theron’s younger sister. “It was a total queen-off,” Blunt said of being opposite Charlize Theron. “There were two crowns on set and you don’t want that.”

    When it comes to crushing on Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and John Krasisnki can get in line. Howard Stern is still standing there. Stern recently asked Seth MacFarlane about the nature of his relationship with Theron after the pair worked together on A Million Ways to Die in the West. There was speculation that they pair may have become more than friends.

    “That was just one of the best interactions that I’ve had, performance-wise,” MacFarlane said of working with Theron.

    “I went into it very inexperienced. Half the reason I do most of the things that I do is because they scare me, and that’s what makes it exciting. Here’s an opportunity to do something that could fail miserably, and that’s kind of invigorating. The discovery that I made is that, if you are a relative journeyman, and you’re going in new at something, if you are with somebody who is so experienced and so good and so in command, you just feed off that, and it just enables you to kind of relax.”

    But that is not what everyone wants to know. Did MacFarlane and Theron have a “thing” going, or not?

    “She is not [a former girlfriend],” MacFarlane responded when asked directly. “We are the closest of friends.”

    Still, he admitted to a closeness with Charlize Theron that went beyond what he shares with other friends.

    “You meet through a project. You have to [fall in love] to some degree, in a weird creative way,” he said. “But you also don’t want to be the director who’s going in and dating the cast. I think she can do a lot better than me.”

    “You develop a closeness with cast members. That situation, to me, was something that kind of beyond all that. This is somebody I’ll be friends with for life.”

    Maybe that phenomenon explains Emily Blunt’s crush.

  • Elsa Pataky, Chris Hemsworth: Twins Featured in New Photo

    Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth welcomed twin boys–Tristan and Sasha–into the world 10 months ago, and recently shared a new photo of the precious bundles with their fans.

    The babies are even holding hands in the new shot, which has no doubt lent itself to its huge popularity since being posted.

    Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth are also the parents of a little girl. India Rose is two. But although she is positively adorable, it’s her baby brothers who have people on social media talking.

    Check out the photo that has the internet all abuzz.

    Pataky captioned the precious photo, “Siempre JUNTOS!!/ Always together!! #twins #happy #forever.”

    To prevent another member of the family from feeling slighted, it’s important to mention this little bundle of fluff that became part of Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth’s brood back in November.

    “Quién podía decir que no.!! Nuevo miembro en la #familia!!/ who could’ve say no! Our new family member. #cute #puppy,” Elsa captioned this photo.

    It’s sometimes hard to remember amidst this softer side of life that Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth both have highly successful acting careers. Pataky last appeared on the big screen in Fast & Furious 6 in 2013 and will appear in Furious 7 when it is released this year. Chris Hemsworth, of course, starred alongside Kristen Stewart in Snow White and the Huntsman back in 2012, and is slated to appear in the sequel–The Huntsman–which is due out in 2016.

    It certainly appears as though Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth have achieved a very delicate balance that not all Hollywood actors achieve. They have managed to enjoy a wonderful home life with their family in addition to furthering their careers.

  • Emily Blunt To Be In “Huntsman” Sequel

    Emily Blunt To Be In “Huntsman” Sequel

    Emily Blunt is in negotiations to join the cast of the upcoming sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, titled simply, The Huntsman.

    Snow White and the Huntsman was released in 2012 and starred Kristin Stewart as Snow White, Chris Hemsworth as the huntsman, and Charlize Theron as Ravenna, the evil queen.

    Emily Blunt will star as Ravenna’s sister, an evil ice queen.

    The Huntsman will reportedly follow Hemsworth as he is sent on a quest to find the magic mirror. He will confront some aspects of his past as well as the angry ice queen, who is seeking revenge for her sister’s death.

    The film has had a few bumps along the way, including the loss of a director. Frank Darabont left amid reports of creative differences, but Universal is expected to hire a new director this week.

    Frank Darabont was also fired from The Walking Dead after a clash with AMC. He subsequently sued the network for profits he said he lost.

    Darabont was the director on hits like The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. He also directed big-screen flop The Mist

    Joe Roth will be the producer, with Palak Patel as the executive producer.

    The Huntsman is slated to release in April of 2016.

    Emily Blunt is coming right off of her success playing the baker’s wife in the highly successful film, Into the Woods.

    She also recently starred alongside Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow and had a role in the recently wrapped crime drama Sicario.

    After Emily Blunt’s amazing performance in Into the Woods, I will be excited to see what kind of malice she can bring to the screen in The Huntsman.

    What do you think of Emily Blunt playing a villain in The Huntsman?

  • Charlize Theron Negotiates More Than $10 Million Payday for Film Sequel

    Charlize Theron took a stand following the recent Sony hacking scandal, against women’s pay in Hollywood. The result is a more than $10 million pay day for the actress for her upcoming prequel to Snow White and the Huntsman. Theron will be paid the same as her male costar Chris Hemsworth.

    The Sony hacking scandal revealed that many of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses still aren’t paid as much as their male counterparts. Charlize Theron simply wasn’t having it. She negotiated via her agents and her work paid off.

    “Charlize insisted that she get paid the same money as Chris. She has a great track record, so she got the same deal,” a source told Page Six.

    “One knock-on effect from the Sony hacking scandal is that there will be more sensitivity about equal pay for actresses and hiring practices at movie studios,” another source said.

    Both Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron are reprising their roles of huntsman Eric and evil queen Ravenna in The Huntsman. The film, which is directed by Frank Darabont, is in pre-production and will hit the big screen in April 2016.

    During the Sony hacking scandal, emails from Sony revealed that both Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams were paid less for their roles in American Hustle than their male costars, Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper. Charlize Theron is no doubt glad that proverbial cat was let out of its bag. She’s now banking a cool $10 million-plus for her next film, and has likely paved the way for equal pay for her female counterparts.

    This isn’t the first cause that has prompted Theron to take a stand. She founded the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project in 2007 to combat HIV/AIDS among young people. She served as spokesperson for the United Nations’ Stop Rape Now program and PETA’s anti-fur campaigns, and has been quoted as saying that she won’t get married until everyone in America enjoys equal rights for marriage. Some sources are reporting she is engaged to Sean Penn, so its uncertain how long she’ll hold out on that cause.

    Kudos to Charlize Theron for her continued activism. People like Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams might even be her new best friends.
