Emma Stone’s no stranger to industry
events, and Emma Stone looked gorgeous at the 2012 ELLE "Women in Hollywood"
Celebration on Monday night .The “Amazing Spider-Man” actress showed up at the
Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, California sporting a eye-popping pink ensemble
as she posed for the frenzy of photographers.
Emma joins a long list of distinguished
ladies on the guest list for tonight’s affair, including Lea Michele, Emma
Watson, Julianne Hough, Elle Fanning, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Viola
Davis.
During the course of the evening, both
Uma Thurman and Cate Blanchett will be given special honors, while Joel McHale
will be handling the hosting duties.
Fans got another glimpse of the Weinstein
Company's newest flick on Wednesday (October 10), with the release of the second
trailer for the upcoming action film, “Django Unchained."
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx,
and Christoph Waltz, the film focuses on a slave-turned-bounty-hunter named
Django (Foxx) who sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi
plantation owner.
With close to one month until the movie
hits theaters, the "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" soundtrack playlist was unveiled
yesterday (October 4).
Summit Entertainment confirmed that
rockers Green Day, Passion Pit, and Christina Perri will make vocal appearances
in the latest "Twilight Saga" album. Nikki Reed's husband Paul McDonald will
also contribute to the November 13th release.
When asked about why the American punk
rock band would want to have a role in the soundtrack, Green Day's bassist, Mike
Dirnt said, "When we were asked to be part of the 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn -
Part 2' soundtrack, we readily agreed because the films are an insane cultural
phenomenon, and we have always been impressed with the way the 'Twilight'
soundtracks are so carefully curated."
Keeping up with her hectic schedule, Emma
Watson got all gussied up for the “Perks of Being a Wallflower” screening in
London, England today (September 26).
The Hermione Granger gal looked stellar
in a strapless black dress teamed with a pair of black trousers as she headed
inside the Mayfair Hotel to peep her new picture.
However, Emma will definitely be turning
her head at certain points in the flick, as she can’t stand seeing herself
getting freaky with her costar Logan Lerman.
Watson explained, "It's really funny
because when I watch the film back, there are a few things I can't watch. I
can't watch the Rocky Horror dancing scene, and I can't watch the kissing
scenes.”
"This film really pushed me out of my
comfort zone. I told the director (Stephen Chbosky) that I have just come from
playing Hermione Granger and you are expecting me to dance and putting me in
corsets, and it's difficult."
With her new movie "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" out in theaters, Emma Watson landed on the October 2012 cover of
NYLON magazine.
Joined by co-stars Logan Lerman and Ezra
Miller, the 22-year-old actress playfully posed in Chanel and Tommy Hilfiger for
the Guy Aroch shot front page while dishing about everything from taking on a
cult classic to becoming famous.
On her movie, "The Perks of Being a
Wallflower:"
"I feel more directly creatively involved
with the whole project--you're part of a very small, passionate group of people
who are trying to bring something to life. You feel like you're in a traveling
circus, or a company of actors."
On growing up in the
spotlight:
"I've done my life backwards; it's really
bizarre[…] Most of my friends are just about to start working, and I've had a
job for the past 10 years. It's strange, because most people spend that decade
figuring themselves out and figuring out what they like and what they don't
like--just making mistakes in the privacy of their own teenage bedrooms. And I
am kind of doing everything in a different way, so sometimes it's a bit
isolating."
On taking on a cult classic:
"Whatever people might think about it,
whatever criticisms they have, all three of us were so vulnerable--all three of
us really gave it everything we could and everything we had, and all three of us
went into the movie terrified and very much aware of what this book means to
people. "
The media has never been shy when it
comes to poking fun at The Church of Scientology, and the new flick “The Master”
takes the scrutiny to a new level.
Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin
Phoenix, Amy Adams, and Laura Dern, “The Master” is based on the story of a war
veteran who creates a faith based organization along with a group of his
disciples.
An insider/former Scientologist told
press that The Weinstein Company director Paul Thomas Anderson can expect static
from Scientology spokespeople.
“The Weinsteins may receive a similar
letter [to the one sent to Vanity Fair] — but it will no more of a threat than
the empty bleatings sent toVanity Fair. The only difference being that they
won’t sue Vanity Fair because the story is true, and they won’t sue the
Weinsteins because the story is not true — and you cannot defame a dead
person.”
“The organization is probably troubled by
The Master because they tried to stop it and couldn’t. In my estimation — and I
have not seen the movie — based on the statements of Paul Thomas Anderson, the
church would have been much smarter to take him at his word — that this is a
movie ‘inspired by’ events in L. Ron Hubbard’s life and use it as a springboard
to promote to people the real story of the life of L. Ron Hubbard,” added the
source.
Meanwhile, star Rami Malek claimed that
Scientology never came up on the set. “Paul never said anything regarding
Scientology toward me throughout the film, and I spent a good deal of time with
him. It was very surprising. Definitely you can see the links, but for the most
part, [that story] really took over in the media.”
Kim, Kourtney & Khloe Kardashian are
no strangers to self-promotion, and earlier today (September 13) Kim, Kourtney
Kardashian and Khloe dropped by “Good Morning America.”
The E! reality television stars looked
top-notch as they worked their magic for the shutterbugs prior to giving an
energetic interview at the Times Square studios.
In related news, Kim recently shot down
the tabloid reports that her sister Kourtney had kicked her boyfriend Scott
Disick out of their Calabasas home.
“They are better than ever. I feel bad
Scott gets such a bad rap. Good thing they’re too busy being parents to pay
attention to nonsense!” said the “Disaster Movie” hottie.
An erroneous report claimed, “Despite
recently welcoming their second child, a girl named Penelope Scotland, the
relationship between the two remains the worst they’ve ever been. Scott is never
alone with Penelope because he is so irresponsible. Kourtney doesn’t even like
for him to hold [the baby] because she’s afraid he’ll drop her. He’s a
29-year-old dad with no real job and nothing to do. So he’s partying again and
drinking heavily. The family is rallying around Kourtney, [as] Scott isn’t being
a good role model or dad. Kris Jenner is furious that Scott’s out in public
acting like a drunk. She’d rather kick him out and be done with him until he
grows up.”
