Spotted working hard on the set of her
new film, Katie Holmes spent the afternoon with her co-stars in Kent,
Connecticut while shooting for her upcoming flick on Tuesday (May
29).
Katie looked perfectly in character for
her role as a temperamental daughter as she sported some dark, baggy clothing
while sipping on a beer and reading a book.
According to Variety, the untitled
Christian Camargo directed movie is said to be based off of Anton Chekhov's "The
Seagull" and is set in rural New England where reckless desire wreaks havoc over
Memorial Day weekend as a family confronts the volatile and fragile nature of
love.
Also starring alongside the 33-year-old
star is Allison Janney, William Hurt, Juliet Rylance, Mark Rylance and Jean
Reno. At this time no exact date has been announced on when production will wrap
or when we can expect to see the film on the big screen.
Making her way to Tinseltown just in time
for the weekend, Emma Stone was spotted just after landing at Los Angeles
International Airport on Friday afternoon.
The 23-year-old actress looked casual
cute in a denim shirt, grey cardigan and dark skinny jeans as she was greeted by
a handler and escorted out to an awaiting ride.
The weekend beginning travels comes just
as Entertainment Weekly has unveiled a brand new batch of promo stills of Emma
and her castmates in their upcoming movie "The Amazing Spider-Man".
With the shots also featuring her co-star
beau Andrew Garfield, the super-hero flick is set to arrive in theaters on July
3rd while also featuring Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan,
Martin Sheen and Sally Field.
Knocking the box office giant off of its
top spot perch, "Men In Black III" grabbed the number one position to begin the
Memorial Day holiday weekend of May 25-28, 2012.
The Will Smith/Tommy Lee Jones starring
sequel to the popular Sci-Fi franchise nabbed $18 million on opening day and
another $19.6 million on Saturday while estimated to pull in $70 million over
the four day weekend.
Slipping to the runner-up slot for the
first time since being released a month ago, the Joss Whedon directed superhero
blockbuster "The Avengers" starring Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Chris
Evans and Chris Hemsworth ended up with $9.7 million on Friday and $14.6 million
on Saturday while pacing towards another $48.5 million over the long weekend to
put its domestic grand total earnings at a whopping $525.2 million.
Rounding out the top five at the box
office in estimated totals are the Alexander Skarsgard, Rihanna, Taylor Kitsch
and Brooklyn Decker fronted Hasbro game based caper "Battleship" ($13.3
million), followed by the Sacha Baron Cohen helmed comedy "The Dictator" ($11.5
million) and Johnny Depp's new vampire comedy/fantasy flick "Dark Shadows" ($9.4
million).
Also of note, the newly released Bradley
Parker directed horror film "Chernobyl Diaries" fell just outside of the top
five after a strong first day while then slowing down as it's in line to end up
with a sixth place worthy take of $9.2 million.
What would you do if you found yourself
face-to-face with Spider-Man?
If you're Emma Stone, apparently you've
just got to put your hands on him.
I sat down with Stone and her costar (and
real-life beau) Andrew Garfield to talk about their upcoming movie, "The Amazing
Spider-Man," and I asked them both their reactions to seeing Garfield in the
full Spidey costume for the first time. Stone admitted that when she saw him in
the suit, she got a bit handsy.
"It was so tactile," Stone said, "I
immediately was just touching him. Because you never expect to be in the room
with Spider-Man, and the suit was just so well made and so
beautiful."
Garfield answered that his reaction to
seeing himself in the costume inspired a mix of feelings: "It was overwhelming,
of course, and surreal, and you kind of can't believe it. And that kind of
remained throughout, actually. I didn't quite believe it, that it was me in the
suit." He went on to say that the feeling of disbelief helped ground him. He
said, "I think if I started to believe it then I'd lose my mind a
little."
Garfield explained that the process of
designing the suit and tailoring it to fit him perfectly was an arduous
four-month long task. He said, "I had to fly certain places to get certain body
scans, and my body was changing because I was training."
Columbia Pictures recently released two promo stills for
its latest project “The Amazing Spider-Man” featuring stars Andrew Garfield and
Emma Stone.
The super-hero flick will arrive in theaters on July 3rd
and also stars Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin
Sheen and Sally Field.
In other news, the newest trailer was released last week
and gave more footage from the Marc Webb directed film about Peter Parker
(Garfield) and Gwen Stacy (Stone), as well as a better look into the Lizard
character (Ifans).
This adaptation of the Spider-Man tale follows the comic
book plot line and according to this recent sneak peek, it will contain
big-scale action and destruction.
Looking lovely in the city, Lea Michele
was spotted at the Ed Sullivan theater in the Big Apple this afternoon (May
21).
The 25-year-old smiled for the awaiting
paparazzi behind the scenes of the "Late Show David Letterman” with dressed in a
sexy white dress revealing her awesome curves paired with tan heels while
tweeting, "That was so much fun!

finale tomorrow night!"
With the season finale of her hit show
“Glee” airing tomorrow night (May 22), fans are expecting the brunette beauty to
drop a few hints about the grand graduation ceremony and maybe even a preview of
the big show.
Universal and Hasbro Entertainment's
big-budget Battleship barely left port in its North American launch, grossing a
dismal $25.3 million.
That's well below the anticipated $35
million to $40 million that Universal and director Peter Berg were hoping for.
Battleship, designed to put the studio squarely in the tentpole game, cost at
least $209 million to produce, excluding a pricey marketing spend.
Battleship's international gross of
$226.8 million provides some cushion, but it needed a strong domestic
performance to end up in the black. A $25.3 million opening means the movie
might not clear $70 million or $80 million over the long haul domestically,
resulting in a notable loss for Universal and sparking plenty of Monday-morning
quarterbacking within the studio about what went wrong.
There's already speculation that
Battleship, starring Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker and Liam Neeson,
will follow the same course as Disney's John Carter, which debuted to $30.2
million in March and topped out at $71.8 million domestically. Overseas, John
Carter, also starring Kitsch, earned $200.6 million. The pic resulted in a $200
million write-down for Disney.
"It is obviously a disappointment, but we
will move on. And we have Memorial Day coming up," Universal president of
domestic distribution Nikki Rocco said. "The studio has a picture that already
has a quarter of a billion dollars in the bank, and it won't die at $25.3
million domestically. We all know that."
Spending the weekend south-of-the-border,
Kristen Stewart was in promotional mode in Mexico City on Saturday (May
19).
The 22-year-old actress was joined by
co-star Sam Claflin as the pair tended to a press conference at the St Regis
Hotel for their upcoming film "Snow White and the Huntsman".
Set to hit theaters on June 1st, the
fairy tale twist finds "the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) ordered to take Snow
White (Stewart) into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and
mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron)."
The visit to Mexico comers just after
Kristen took time to chat with The Insider about how she's maintained a level
head after skyrocketing to super-stardom thanks to her role as Bella Swan in the
"Twilight" mega-popular franchise.
"These types of situations (referring to
the interview) are really the only times that you have to deal with it and it
feels really fitting and appropriate and it makes sense," Stewart dished of her
fame. "It only gets weird when it enters this strange world of suddenly you're
interesting beyond your job, and some people buy in to that and think, 'Alright!
Cash in! I'm like totally gonna sell myself,' and I don't think they're even
aware of what they're doing."
Getting hot and steamy in their new film,
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling team up again in "The Gangster Squad."
The first trailer for the film was

Stupid Love," this plotline follows a mob man who is hired to take out a 1940s
Los Angeles mafia boss played by the legendary Sean Penn.
It also stars Josh Brolin and is set to
release in theaters on October 19.
Spotted leaving her NYC hotel, Rihanna

Eva Longoria kicked off this year's
Cannes Film Festival in style when she hit the red carpet for the opening
ceremony (and "Moonrise Kingdom" premiere) in a breathtaking Marchesa gown.
Surprisingly, the dress -- which featured a 10 foot tulle train -- didn't
overwhelm the diminutive "Desperate Housewives" alumna, who also donned a chic
updo and simple diamond earrings.
The classic television character, vampire
Barnabas Collins, reawakens this weekend in Tim Burton' s Dark Shadows. Starring
as Barnabas is, of course, Burton’s right-hand man, the versatile Johnny Depp.
Depp’s Barnabas resembles the original on a basic level—he has jagged bangs,
large ears, and fangs—but makeup department head Joel Harlow says there are
marked differences between the two. Besides giving Depp a more modern hairstyle,
pointy ear extensions, and a prosthetic nose bridge, Harlow added a Burton-esque
pallor. "ohnny' Barnabas is quite a bit more pale than Jonathan Frid's " he
says. " Another huge addition to Johnny is the finger extensions. His hands
became their own character within his performance—I recall Tim saying that he
wanted Barnabas to be very ‘tactile,’ with his hands leading the
way."
Harlow also designed Depp’s makeup as Mad
Hatter in Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. To complement Alice's troubled yet
fun-loving friend, vivid colors were layered over Burton’s usual whitened
palette. “In my experience as a makeup artist working with Tim, it is clear that
his approach to makeup is to enhance not only the narrative but also the
individual character,” says Harlow. “He isn’t afraid to push the boundaries when
it comes to the look of a character, but only if that direction helps to convey
the character’s emotional center, giving his actors more to work with. It’s
almost as if the look of the character is, in itself, direction to his
actors.”
Synopsis：
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi
Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a
new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious
curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas has the world
at his feet -- or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of
Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until
he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard. A witch,
in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death:
turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.
Two centuries later, Barnabas is
inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of
1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has
fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared
little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth
Collins Stoddard has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman, to
help with her family troubles.
Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's
ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins; her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn
Stoddard; and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins.

Rihanna, Alexander & Brooklyn
Premiere have been all over the globe doing promotional events, and tonight (May
10) the cast of "Battleship" showed up in Los Angeles for the big
premiere.
The Nokia Theatre LA Live was hopping as
stars like Rihanna, Alexander Skarsgard, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker and Liam
Neeson made their arrivals prior to the screening.
Also turning up to check out the Hasbro
game-based motion picture were Malin Akerman and pregnant supermodel Molly Sims,
as well as fellas such as Angus T. Jones and Olympic gold medalist Apolo
Ohno.
Overseeing the festivities was the film's
director Peter Berg, as the promotional event comes as "Battleship" is scheduled
to be released in theaters nationwide on May 18th.
The movie follows "a fleet of ships which
are forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover
and thwart their destructive goals."
Giving English fans a thrill, the cast of
"Dark Shadows" was in the house for the UK premiere in London today (May
9).
Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe
Moretz, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Eva Green all turned out for the big affair, held
at the Empire Leicester Square.
Of the initial idea for the flick, Depp
told press that he and director Tim Burton had a very specific motivation and
vision.
"Tim and I talked early on: a vampire
should look like a vampire. It was a rebellion against vampires that looked like
underwear models."
As for his character Barnabas Collins,
Johnny noted, "I wanted Barnabas to come across as ... this very elegant upper
echelon, well-schooled gentleman who's cursed in the 18th century and brought
back to probably the most surreal era of our time - the 1970s - and how he would
react to things. Not just with technology and automobiles and such, but actual
items of enjoyment for people like pet rocks, fake flowers, plastic fruit, troll
dolls, lava lamps and the macramé owls."
Miley Cyrus' film "LOL" made a total of
only $46,500 this weekend, Movie City News estimates. That is just a few hundred
dollars more than what "Marvel's The Avengers" -- which drew a record-breaking
weekend total of more than $200 million
Based on a French film, "LOL" was meant
to mark Miley Cyrus' transition into more serious acting. Also starring Demi
Moore, "LOL" has been given the silent treatment by Lionsgate.
There did seem a last-ditch attempt to
get a groundswell of Miley's fans (she has 5.6 million followers on Twitter) to
the theaters where it was opening. Stories on mileycyrusworld.org and
mileyraycyrus.org -- which literally listed every theater and city in which
"LOL" would be screening -- attempted to create hype.
It’s no secret that he's one of the
hunkiest stars in Hollywood, and Kellan Lutz has landed the lead in the
forthcoming "Tarzan" film.
The "Twilight Saga: New Moon" stud will
be fully animated via motion capture CGI in the flick, starring opposite Spencer
Locke, who will play Jane Porter.And according to THR, the movie will
incorporate the classic storyline of Tarzan and Jane, with some modern
twists.
Per the synopsis, "Tarzan's parents,
billionaire adventurers, are now killed in airplane crash rather than being
marooned with their child. And the movie's villain is the CEO of Greystoke
Energies, a man who took over the company from Tarzan's deceased parents. Jane
is the daughter of an African guide and is committed to the conservation and
preservation of the African jungle. She eventually works with Tarzan to defeat
the mercenary army of Greystoke Energies."
