"Man on a Ledge": In Theaters Now!

January 27th, 2012

It’s one of the most anticipated crime/thrillers in recent time, and now “Man on a Ledge” has arrived in theaters (January 27) just in time for weekend moviegoers.

Starring Elizabeth Banks and Sam Worthington, the Asger Leth film centers on “a police psychologist who works to talk down an ex-con who is threatening to jump from a Manhattan hotel rooftop, the biggest diamond heist ever committed is in motion”

While talking with press about the project, Miss Banks explained, “Really, everything’s in the title. It’s about a man on a ledge, and the people around him who are trying to figure out why he’s on the ledge, and how to get him off the ledge before he falls off and dies.”

Worthington also chimed in, adding, “Good action really comes down to the stakes, what’s at stake, whether it’s rescuing the girl, getting the diamonds or whatever. [The main character] is battling for his life in the ultimate extreme, just on a ledge. He’s on the edge on the ledge. Because the stakes are so high, I think that’s why we can label it a thriller, an action thriller.”

Miley Cyrus Called Anti-Role Model

January 27th, 2012

Growing up in the spotlight typically leads to anything but a mild lifestyle, and Miley Cyrus is getting some serious flack for her recent phallic birthday cake photos.

Last weekend, pictures of the not-shy “Party in the USA” singer licking and posing with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth’s penis birthday cake emerged, and since then Ms Cyrus is hearing about it.

A conservative group is pointing their fingers at Cyrus calling her behavior “crude” and “disgusting,” saying it “exemplifies sleaze” in Hollywood.

On Thursday (January 26), the Culture and Media Institute (CMI) issued an article called “Hollywood Promoting Women Behaving Badly,” in which it suggests that the onetime innocent Disney star “has become the epitome of the anti-role model for young girls.”

Liv Tyler Covers Marie Claire UK March 2012

January 27th, 2012

Set to return to the big screen in the upcoming movie “Robot and Frank,” the lovely Liv Tyler takes over the cover of the March 2012 issue of Marie Claire UK magazine.

The 34-year-old actress pretties up the Marc Hom shot front page while dressed in a top, skirt and earrings from Prada while opening up about moving back to NYC, always wanting to be a mother and her obsession with capturing moments through pictures.

Highlights from Miss Tyler’s interview are as follows. For more, be sure to check out Marie Claire UK!

On returning to New York City last summer for Milo’s sake:
“I’m always trying to figure out what’s best for him [Milo] as a person. The kind of person I want him to be. The values I want him to have. Much as I love my friends and LA, I want him to have more of an East Coast upbringing. The sense of community. Walking to school four blocks away.”

On the healing process (of divorce) being a work in progress:
“I feel like I’m learning every day how to get through life and the world. Not just from the divorce. I felt that way throughout my whole life, ever since I was young person. I’ve had a lot of big things happen to me.”

On her unconventional upbringing making her want to provide her son with stability:
“Absolutely. It’s brought up a tremendous amount of issues, concerns and worries for me, being a mother, and how much that meant to be based on my childhood and what I went through. Wonderful, beautiful things and difficult things. It was always a dream of mine to be a mother. I didn’t ever really dream of being an actress. I used to dream of being a singer, but I always dreamed of being a mother ever since I was young girl.”

On rumors that she considered quitting acting:
“I’ve never really stopped. Even when I was a kid I’d work for a year straight and then I would take a year off. It always felt natural to live my life again and store things up to put in my next performance.”

On her love of collecting pictures:
“Obsessively, I have thousands of pictures on my phone. Why am I so fascinated with capturing moments? I’ll tell you why. Because I’ve had so much change in my life. My whole life things have constantly changed, so psychologically I’m sure I’m quite sentimental. I want to remember the feeling, not only what it looks like. When it’s happening, it’s so wonderful but I know it’s gonna change or not gonna last. Everything changes so I want to remember it because I feel grateful for it.”

Kate Gosselin’s Toothache Troubles

January 27th, 2012

Having herself a bit of oral trouble, Kate Gosselin ventured out to pay a visit to the local dentist in West Reading, Pennsylvania on Thursday afternoon (January 26).

As she walked past on-hand paparazzi, the former TLC reality star was asked if the recent Italian cruise ship disaster would derail her summertime Royal Caribbean fan voyage, which she opted not to answer while simply saying that her tooth was killing her.

The dental doings come as Miss Gosselin continues to answer fan questions via her blog, on which she recently was asked about the “strict guidelines” she sets when it comes to her brood’s cell phone usage.

Giving the curious individual a complete rundown, the 36-year-old replied with the following list:

Here are my rules:
1. No Internet on their phone.
2. All parental controls turned on ie: no downloading apps etc.
3. ALL contacts put on their phones must first be approved by me. In other words, any friend, friend’s parent or even babysitter, they must ask before they add them to their phone.
4. NEVER answer a phone number or text that doesn’t come up identified.
5. Not allowed to delete ANY texts… At all period.
6. I know their pass code and am able to read anything on their phone at all times. They are not allowed to change the pass code without consulting me first.
7. Room has to be cleaned and homework done before using phone :) .
8. Must have phone in their back pack so that I can reach them when necessary.

It’s been a big help with communicating with them. They are comforted that they can reach me at any time to ask a question, or to say good night when they are at their dad’s. Overall, it’s been a very good experience and they have handled having a phone very maturely. Good luck!
