Tom Hardy wins a toolbox (YouTube)

Before He Was Bane: The Dark Knight Rises‘ Tom Hardy Wins Public Access Modeling Contest [Video]

Did you know that they had to redub all of Tom Hardy’s lines in the opening scene of The Dark Knight Rises because audiences at an IMAX preview in December found it 100% impossible to understand what Bane was mumble-yelling about? It’s true!

But even without the metal mask on, the British actor isn’t exactly Sir Alec Guinness, as evidenced from this 1998 male modeling contest on a public access channel. The considerably leaner Hardy-boy manages to get booed during Q&A despite only saying four words. Read More

What Starlet Should Tom Cruise Marry Next?

Now that Tom Cruise is single again, we found ourselves looking back to the innocent beginnings of his relationship with Katie Holmes–and no, not just the part where she disappeared for weeks and then showed up on his arm in Italy! We refer, instead, to the apocryphal “audition process” that Ms. Holmes won over other starlets like Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, and Scarlett Johansson. Who knows if this really happened; don’t sue us! But if Mr. Cruise were to audition a fourth wife, here are the ladies he might like to consider. Read More

Ron Perlman Dresses As Hellboy For Make-A-Wish Foundation

The actor Ron Perlman reprised his popular “Hellboy” character from Guillermo Del Toro’s films in order to grant the wish of a six-year-old with leukemia through the Make-A-Wish Foundation; the four-hour makeup process Mr. Perlman endured was then reiterated on the young lad, who had wished to “meet and become Hellboy.” Cute/terrifying (depending on your Read More

Lindsay Lohan Reportedly Shocked at How Much Nudity Required to Play Opposite Porn Star James Deen in The Canyons

Bret Easton Ellis and Paul Schrader’s super white-hot project (via Kickstarter) The Canyons has already hit its first casting snag. Despite announcing Lindsay Lohan and approachable porn star James Deen as the movie’s stars earlier this week, the car-crashing actress apparently hasn’t signed her contract yet.

Which may be an issue, since someone on her team has been coaching the Herbie: Fully Loaded star how to read scripts. Read More

Winter Is Coming for Sean Bean: Game of Thrones Hero Arrested for Harassing Ex

After a brief, heroic stint as the stoic Ned Stark in HBO’s Game of Thrones, Sean Bean has relapsed into the role that made him famous: the creepy bad guy. Arrested Wednesday and held for questioning, Mr. Bean (an unfortunate moniker for Brits,) spent most of yesterday in a South London police station after being accused of sending harassing phone calls to his ex-wife, Georgina Sutcliffe.

Harvey Weinstein Recieves Legion d’honneur, Promises Not to Throw Us Out of French Embassy

“Is that a real tattoo?” Harvey Weinstein, asked The New York Observer last night at the French Embassy on Park Ave and 78th. The producing legend had just finished trading off speeches with two French officials (including an ambassador who kept noting how cold our hands were…bad circulation, we guess) who praised the Miramax founder for his ability to consistently recognize the brilliance of French cinema.

Lindsay Lohan is...Elizabeth Taylor!

Lindsay Lohan’s Triumphant Return as Elizabeth Taylor: A Role of a Lifetime (Channel)

Yes, the reports are true. Lindsay Lohan, who probably, sadly, defines the cinematic voice of  “our generation” more than Lena Dunham (not all of us have friends who’ve had a magical miscarriage, but we’ve all known hot messes who shoplift, do too much Adderall, and decide to briefly try out lesbianism), has landed the part of icon Elizabeth Taylor in the TV movie Liz & Dick. Ms. Lohan has been vying for this job for months, even behaving herself–or at least, trying to– during Fashion Week to prove to the powers that she is definitely insurable on-set.

But before we start popping open bottles of sparkling cider and synching up our DUI ankle bracelets to spell VIVA LA LOHAN, let’s take a look at what this comeback actually entails. Read More
