Evan Rachel Wood is the top celeb under 25!

You’re going to have to bear with me because I freakin love Evan Rachel Wood.  I would marry her if that was at all possible.  Even during the Manson days I was one of her biggest fans.  So with all of the success she’s had recently due to the Wrestler, I couldn’t be happier for her.

And I’m glad that Venus Zine agrees with me.  Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find the magazine anywhere so if anyone knows where it is sold, leave a tip in the comments.

Here are some highlights from the interview:

On what her parents thought of her getting into acting: My parents were so worried if I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or something like, “What are we going do??”

On gaining her reputation for taking riskier roles: I would always get frustrated when I would see films about young girls because I could never relate to them and I thought they were just completely fake.  I started saying, “Why am I waiting for somebody to make it? Why don’t I just go out and do it instead of complaining about it?”

On what makes her relax: “I forget how important it is to laugh until I haven’t done it in so long and then something happens and I laugh until I can’t breathe, and it’s just the greatest feeling in the world.  I get to relax and let go.

How she feels about bloggers attacking her: It’s so easy for people to be cruel, just cruel, now.  Because they can write something and never show their face.  They can criticize you all they want, but it’s not like they’re going to put a face behind it.  It’s like throwing a rock at someone’s window and then running away.  We’re already down, we don’t need you to bring us any lower.  We put enough on ourselves, we don’t need you to remind us.

Zac Efron does Interview.

Well this is interesting.  The cover for the April edition of Interview looks pretty awesome.

I wonder if Zac will elaborate more on his mom buying him condoms for Christmas and why his girlfriend is such a whore?

Madonna wins custody of kids!

So… If I was Madonna’s kids I would probably be more than a little horrified after seeing her spread in W magazine (that which can be found here) and I’d probably also have mixed feelings that I could possibly be getting a 22 year old Brazilian model named Jesus as my next stepfather who is also featured in the magazine…making out with her, among other things.  But I’m not, so I don’t feel bad wanting that issue more than anything else at the moment.

Of course, all of this could happen to her kids since Madonna has just won custody of her two children from her marriage with that British douchbag Guy Ritchie.  The kids will be living at home with her in New York (so long fake British accent!) while Ritchie will be coming to visit occasionally (if she lets him).  His two kids will be traveling to London during school holidays to see him.

Personally I don’t think I would let anyone who referred to me to all of his friends as “It” see his children for a loooong time, court order or not, just as my own form of revenge.  And I’m betting Madonna will be the exact same way.

Friend whoring.

Everyone.

This is my best friend in the entire world, Maisie. Since she will be a famous celebrity one day, it would be in your best interest to watch this video and leave a comment before she becomes rich and famous and doesn’t have the time for you anymore.  I’ll be posting her videos all the time now to contribute my part into helping her become the youtube celebrity she so wants to be.

Enjoy.

Five reasons why you should rent “Frozen River”

For those of you who aren’t already in the know, “Frozen River” is the definition of indepenent cinema and one of the best movies of 2008. Since it was just released on DVD I figured I would give you, my faithful readers, five reasons why you should see this little gem.

1. The obvious reason:  it’s star Melissa Leo, who was nominated for an Academy Award for her role. “Frozen River” would be nothing without the ferocity Leo brings to the role of Ray.  It’s the role Charlize Theron would have clawed her way to the top to play and thank God Leo scored it.  Leo plays Ray, a single mother who’s husband has left her family without any warning or way of tracking him down; so in effort to make ends meet and to afford the double decker trailer she wants for her family, Ray starts smuggling immigrants across the Canada border into upstate New York.

2. Charlie McDermott.  Playing the role of Ray’s son, T.J., McDermott completely humanizes a role that could have been taken to a new level of douchebag-edness had it been left in the wrong hands.  I actually didn’t like McDermott’s character in the beginning but as the movie went on you are, yes, introduced to his flaws, but also what makes him such a good person.  The scene where he goes out of his way to buy his little brother the Christmas present he wants the most is one of the most touching of the movie.

3.  The opening shot of Ray smoking a cigerette, teary-eyed, and looknig extremely pissed is probably one of the most striking shots to grace movies in a while.

4.  These characters are played by real people, not just Hollywood actors. I think it would have been kind of hard to imagine Angelina Jolie as a struggling single mother who was desperate to make  money. No offense to Jolie but she’s too much of a celebrity to play a role like this.  Even though Leo has been in dozens of films, most people have never even heard of her.   In a recent article with Filmmaker magazine, Leo discussed how for a while she just took what roles were given to her but throughout it all has always done acting for the love of it, not the fame.  And I think in one of the most interesting pieces of info that has come out recently, Misty Uphom who plays Lila had to work a double shift at her job at the dry cleaners the day after she attended the Oscars because she couldn’t find someone to cover for her.  So when I heard that McDermott, Leo, and Uphomm had been nominated for Spirit Awards for this movie I was completely beaming with pride when I saw them at the awards show.  It’s stories like these that make me really appreciate the actors who give everything to play a role like this.

And the final reason you should see “Frozen River”:

5. the film has one of the most touching and inspiring messages about self-less love I’ve seen in a long time.  It’s ending heartbreaking, moving and absolutely realistic all in one.  It made me hope that one day, more people could be as self-less as Ray was.

If you still need more convincing (and you shouldn’t), here’s the trailer:

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back!!!

Ironically yesterday as I was driving to Barnes and Nobles in Franklin and listening to Show Your Bones, I was wondering when the Yeah Yeah Yeahs would be releasing a new album since their last one was easily my favorite one of 2006 and pretty much defined my summer in Nashville.  Well,  as if God himself was listening, that night I learned (from Solange Knowles’s Twitter of course…) that they DO have a new album coming out.  And now, I present to you, one of my favorite songs from It’s Blitz!, “Soft Shock.”  Click  here to listen.

omfg. THIS is awesome.

Straight from youtube, this video is a lovechild between Gossip Girl, one of the best TV shows of the moment, and Cruel Intentions, one of the best and dirtiest teen movies of the 90s.  The editing’s a little choppy, but I would still pay good money to see this on the big screen.

Reese Witherspoon hearts Monsters

Reese Witherspoon attended the premiere of Monsters V. Aliens and posed next to that thing….

I like Reese, I really do, but her latest film choices have really saddened me. Penelope.. Rendition… The first two can be forgiven, but for the love of God, whyyyy FOUR CHRISTMASES?! After that I decided that I wasn’t going to support any of her movies until she got back to the quality acting that got her the Oscar.  I mean, I cried when she won.  I supported her all the way through.  And then she threw it all away with those movies. So I had hope that MAYBE she would get it right with her next film.

Sadly, I don’t think Monsters V. Aliens is going to do that. She’s even back with Keiffer Southerland, who some of you may remember co-starred with her in the most amazing re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood EVER.  (That being Freeway) Unfortunately, they picked a movie where they were  animated and fighting monsters and aliens to follow it up with.

Can someone please do a talent intervention with her? Please?

Zac Efron’s Hair Hurts Me

He’s back!

And holy crap what has happened to Zac Efrin’s hair?!  Did he have a little too much fun with the gel this afternoon or something??

I remember seeing an episode of the Ellen DeGeneres show once where Ellen told Zac, after threatening to shave off all his hair, that Vanessa said she liked his hair slicked back. And ever since then all we’ve seen is his hair slicked back.  So he’s obviously only doing this to please her.

Anyway, Zac’s in Australia to promote his new movie 17 Again which hits theaters this April and I think it looks surprisingly good. I’m actually a really big Zac Efron fan and apparently am one of the very few that actually believes he will succeed later on in his career.

But seriously Zac, don’t put so much gel in your hair.  It just gives people more of a reason to call you Ken.

And if you are one of the very few who hasn’t seen the trailer for 17 Again, you can watch it here:

Hello world.

After months and months of deliberation I finally decided to cave in and get a blog.  I felt my voice was too large for such a small place (my college) and that I needed to expand it to horizons unexplored–the internet.

If you are wondering where this amazing title comes from then you really aren’t as cool as you think you are, and a quick search through google will explain everything.  Until then, just wait around. I’ll be updating as much as I can with my thoughts on everything having to do with entertainment–movies, celebrities, music, models because frankly, this is my blog and I can talk about whatever I want.

Until next time.
