| Antonio Banderas: I didn’t would like to be Madonna’s boyfriend in 90s Posted: 10 Aug 2011 12:57 AM PDT Spanish actor Antonio Banderas said in an interview appearing in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar that "for good or for bad" he didn't want to be "Madonna's boy" when the singer showed an interest in him in the 1990s. The Spaniard was in the international spotlight after the artist said she was "crazy about" the Malaga native and said she really wanted to get to know him in the 1991 documentary "Madonna: Truth or Dare," something that Banderas now remembers as "flattering," though he admits being at a loss about how to handle the situation. "I was afraid of it at the time, because she was a very powerful woman. I didn't want to be Madonna's boy. For good or for bad, I just wanted to have my own career," said the star of the 1995 movie "Desperado." |
| Misfortune of Patrick might mischief IndyCar on TV Posted: 10 Aug 2011 12:53 AM PDT Race driver Danica Patrick's possible move to NASCAR would be a blow to IndyCar racing's popularity — and its television revenues, sports analysts say. They compare the possible effect on IndyCar viewing figures to what happened to golf viewership when Tiger Woods was off the tournament circuit with injuries and personal problems. In 2008, with Woods off the circuit, golf lost about half of its audience, the Nielsen Co., which tracks television ratings, said. Patrick could be leaving her full-time IndyCar racing job by season's end as a deal making her a full-time NASCAR driver in 2012 now appears imminent, The Indianapolis Star reported Monday. Patrick has been mum about her intentions. "These things come out, and I'm just as surprised as probably some other people when they see them," she said of the latest reports. "I'm still just doing my job, and that's just to drive the race car. Nothing's finalized." IndyCar, which has struggled for TV ratings, can ill afford to have Patrick depart, analysts said. "It's all about the [TV] numbers," said Zak Brown, head of Just Marketing International, which specializes in motor-sports sponsorship packages. "I don't think her leaving will be a showstopper for IndyCar, but for sure it will hurt." |
| Cameron Diaz Says: ‘I Don’t Understand Trends’ Posted: 10 Aug 2011 12:12 AM PDT Cameron Diaz is perplexed by fashion seasons (and judging by the number of times we've tried to explain it to non-fashion folks, she's in the majority.) “I tried on a dress a few days ago that was like, spring 2012, and I was like, ‘Where are we? Why can’t I just buy a dress for summer 2011?’ That’s all I need, so you know, by the time we get to 2012, I am going to be wearing something for 2013 so it doesn’t really make any sense to me!” she told OK! magazine at this week's Teen Choice Awards. But the schedule isn't the only thing that confuses her: "I have never been into trends. I don't understand trends!" |
| Dakota Fanning: Under the Umbrella! Posted: 10 Aug 2011 12:12 AM PDT Dakota Fanning seeks shelter from the rain under her umbrella on the set of Now Is Good on Thursday (August 4) in London, England. The 17-year-old actress is working with Jeremy Irvine on the new movie, which is set to be released in 2012. Now Is Good follows the story of a young woman who has leukemia and sets out to check as many things off her bucket list as she can before she passes away. Dakota and Jeremy have been all over England filming the movie, seeing Brighton, Eastbourne, and now filming in London. |
| Jessica Alba pregnant and obstructing Spy Kids Posted: 09 Aug 2011 11:05 PM PDT Jessica Alba feels neither super, nor spy-like, as she sits in a downtown L.A. hotel suite. She's trying to be perky, promoting Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D, which opens Aug. 19. But the 30-year-old is just days away from giving birth to her second child, so she's completely distracted and totally tired. "It's so exciting," she says of preparing for her baby's arrival. "But I'm ready and I'm exhausted."Alba is also resilient. She filmed the latest Spy Kids movie, including the action sequences, when her first child, Honor Marie, was only 1. In the Robert Rodriguez reboot of the Spy Kids series, Alba is Marissa Cortez Wilson, a famous spy and younger sister of Gregorio (Antonio Banderas) from the previous flicks. Marissa decides to retire so she can raise her new baby, care for her stepkids Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), and spend more time with her hubbie Wilbur, (Joel McHale). All that changes when her spy boss (Jeremy Piven) asks her to return full-time when the villain Timekeeper unleashes a plan to steal precious minutes from the world. Things intensify when Marissa's husband gets a job on a reality-TV show as a spy hunter, then her stepkids, with assistance from the original Spy Kids, Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni (Daryl Sabara), get embroiled in tracking down the Timekeeper. Even Marissa's baby gets into it. Wait a minute — there's the baby theme again. But it's not a coincidence. While filming Machete in 2009 — in which Alba co-starred — Rodriguez was inspired to pursue a Spy Kids film with Alba in the lead as a mother with a gun. "She had her baby with her," says Rodriguez of Alba's daughter on the Machete set. "And her diaper exploded, and she was trying to change her baby, and I thought, 'What about a spy mom?'"Alba agreed. After all, the director and the actress have a strong bond. She played the vamp Nancy Callahan in Rodriguez's stylish 2005 crime noir, Sin City, and they re-connected in last year's hitman fantasy, Machete, with Alba playing Special Agent Sartana Rivera. "We come from a similar cultural background," says Alba of her friend, Rodriguez. "We're both Mexican-American, and we grew up with a lot of the same traditions, and we share stories. So, I think we have a comfort and a shorthand." But Rodriguez knew he had to "keep raising the bar" for Spy Kids. The first Spy Kids flick in 2001 was a surprise hit, earning $148 million US worldwide and charming critics. The followup sequels, Spy Kids: Island of Lost Dreams, in 2002, and 2003's Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, scooped up a combined $317 million US globally. The fourth Spy Kids flick features more refined special effects, and a nostalgic scratch-and-sniff gimmick that Rodriguez calls 4-D Aromascope. During the film, when numbers flash on screen, audience members are required to rub the corresponding numbers on an Aromascope card, which will give off a smell relating to the sequence. It's a playful device, but that doesn't mean the director holds back on the intensity of the action sequences or the spy-mom narrative. "Yeah, I definitely brought a lot of my experience of being a new mom with a baby to work every day," says the actress. "I talked to Robert (Rodriguez) a lot about it. He's a father of five, so he has tons of experience with children, too."Obviously, the mutual respect between them runs deep. "I also trust him, so I'm not sitting there, resisting everything he says, and fighting and arguing with him," says Alba. "We don't have that relationship, although sometimes I disagree. But most of the time, we find some common ground."In fact, Alba has a team-player reputation, which has served her well over a fairly high-profile career. Obsessed with acting at an early age, Alba started auditioning at 11, and managed a small role in 1994's Camp Nowhere. She enjoyed two seasons in the remake of the Flipper TV series, and in 1999, gained some notoriety with co-starring roles in Drew Barrymore's Never Been Kissed and the horror comedy, Idle Hands. It was her headlining part in the James Cameron sci-fi series, Dark Angel, that showcased Alba's abilities and her athleticism, even more than the superhero role of the Invisible Woman in the Fantastic Four films. "That show (Dark Angel) was the most challenging thing ever," Alba recalls. "Nothing has compared to it since, and, oddly, I miss it."Indeed, after she gets settled with baby number 2, she'll be looking around for an action flick with Dark Angel intensity. And who knows, Rodriguez just might increase her running and kicking duties in a planned Sin City 2, and yet another Machete. The director says either project might be his next one. Meanwhile, Alba will be nesting for a while with husband, Michael Warren, daughter Honor, and the new kid on the block. "It's always changing, and always challenging," she says of her professional-personal double life. "I always feel like I'm sacrificing one thing for the other. "I never feel like I have a perfect balance," she adds. '"But that's just what happens when you're a working mom." |
| Emma Watson speak about her fashion faux-pas! Posted: 09 Aug 2011 11:05 PM PDT Emma Watson, the prettiest little thing ever in Grazia Daily’s humble opinion, has opened up to Company about her style and wardrobe choices, describing her signature look as ‘quite French, actually… but overall, it’s not really defined yet. I’m still experimenting.’ Experimenting? We like experimenting. Emma also says that she considers herself to have had very few fashion faux-pas, which is impressive undertaking considering how many premieres she went to as a teenager. ‘I used to look back at pictures and cringe but actually I'm quite proud that I've had fun with fashion and don't always look perfect. The only regret I have is when I look at something I wore when I was very young and it obviously looks like it belonged to someone else.’ Like some of the below, maybe? Talking about make-up, Emma says ‘Don't wear too much make-up. Less really is more. I think the most beautiful people are those who look like they're not really wearing any. Overall though, just have fun with it and experiment. Kate Bosworth and Diane Kruger always have beautiful hair and make-up.’Mais oui, Emma. And so do you. LOVE her.

| Demi Lovato to perform at 2011 Do Something Awards Posted: 09 Aug 2011 11:05 PM PDT Demi Lovato will make her first live performance as she will be one of the performers at the 2011 Do Something Awards.

Some will present awards while others have been nominated in an array of categories for all they have done to inspire young people, be it through films or charitable efforts.
