Refiner 28 James Franco's bookshelf analyzed. Hee.
Crave Pixar's Up (2009) balloon house recreated in real life!
Small World a follow up story to that bit about The King's Speech producer's daughter who dropped the Oscar. This one stars BANKSY.
Rope of Silicon Rememeber that movie that 50 Cent lost all that weight for? I had forgotten all about it, too.
Cinema Blend assembles / decodes all the news and rumors about Stoker which may star the impressive lineup of Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth
Variety on Julie Taymor's possible departure from the Spider-Man Broadway musical and a shutdown for the show itself.
Jacki Beat needs work, gurl! I love that Miz Beat is classy/funny/perverse enough to ask for work on her blog and threaten you with crimes simultaneously. The world needs more dangerous drag queens. I also need work but I have no funny jokes about it. Times is tough.
Movie|Line talks to Jane Eyre star Mia Wasikowska about the book and working with both Michael Fassbender and Jamie Bell.
M|L: In terms of your other love interest, you got to reunite with your Defiance co-star Jamie Bell, which was fun for me as a viewer, thinking “Forest wife!” to myself in the theater.
Mia Wasikowska: I know! We’ve already been married in a previous film! It was so much fun — Jamie is one of my favorite people to work with. We had a blast.
Also, I'm not sure how I missed this but here's Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds at La Liz's birthday party last week (you'll remember her actual birthday was Oscar day).
This casts a whole new light on that bit in Carrie's stage show mapping the complex tabloid-ready relationships of Elizabeth Taylor to her parents Eddie and Debbie.

Look at Debbie Reynolds! She looks like she could be Carrie Fisher's sister! I'm not sure if that means Reynolds looks great or Fisher looks bad ... but WOW it's incredible!

"She even washed Elizabeth's hair on her wedding day... Now, she did say later that she wished she'd washed it with Nair."
I love Liz, but it looks like Debbie and Carrie are taunting her for looking so much younger than she does.
How amazing was Naya Rivera on last night's Glee? I really hope the rumours of her being sought for the film version of the musical In the Heights are true.
I also think this is the first time Debbie and Carrie looked alike. Ah, memories of "These Old Broads."
I think this sheds light on how far off base the Angelina/Jennifer comparison is. The point is, Reynolds and Taylor belonged to the same Hollywood. Brangelina's globetrotting superstardom and Jennifer Aniston's fish-taco Chelsea Handlering and "I'm still 29" California girl schtick couldn't be farther apart. This could never happen with them. And I don't even like Angelina Jolie.
