Corbin Bleu and Madison Pettis at the Free Style premiere
September 25, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Two adorable stars – Corbin Bleu and Madison Pettis – were just two of the actors to grace the New York premiere of “Free Style” on Sept. 24, 2009.
Bleu stars as Cale Bryant, a young man who’s determined to win a coveted spot on the Grand National racing team without compromising his beliefs.
With the support of his loving mother (Penelope Ann Miller), precocious little sister (Madison Pettis), and new girlfriend (Sandra Echeverria), Cale proves against all odds that he has the heart, the willpower and the courage to never give up on his dream. Yeah, predictable, but sweet.

Toni Collette at the 2009 Emmy Awards
September 24, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Actress Toni Collette was looking beautiful at the 2009 Emmy Awards this past week. She was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress for her Showtime series “The United States of Tara,” in which she plays a woman with dissociative identity disorder. I need to check out the series, but I’m a big fan of her movies, which include “Little Miss Sunshine,” “In Her Shoes,” and “Evening.”
I love this dress, but I’m not sure about the middle part. Maybe less “band-ish” and more fluid … any thoughts?

Kate Mara filming Happy Thank You More Please
July 15, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I’ve liked Kate Mara since I saw her in "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg (one of my favorite movies of 2007) and "Zoom" (she was one of the only good things about that 2006 movie with Tim Allen).
She’ll also be seen in the upcoming "Iron Man 2," along with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Pots, and Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
Mara is currently in Lower Manhattan shooting scenes for "Happy Thank You More Please," a bittersweet story "about six New Yorkers trying to figure out their lives," according to this Web site.

George Clooney at the G8 Summit
July 14, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Dapper George Clooney was spotted at the G8 Summit in L’Aquila, Italy. The event marked the inauguration of the Nobel for Peace Hall cinema at a tent city for people displaced after the 2006 earthquake.
Look for Clooney up next in “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” in which he plays a guy who claims to be a former member of the U.S. Army’s First Earth Battalion, a unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions. Sounds like my kind of movie.

May 23, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Olivia Wilde might be best known for her role as sexy Thirteen on “House, M.D.,” but she’s hitting the big screen as Princess Inanna in “Year One” on June 19, 2009. She stars opposite Jack Black and Michael Cera in the Judd Apatow-produced movie. But first, the buffed and toned star did some acrobatics for her GQ photo shoot. Oh, those abs!

Abbie Cornish, Mariah Carey and others at the Cannes Film Festival 2009
May 17, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
The Cannes Film Festival – a.k.a. Festival de Cannes – is in full swing right now, from May 13 – 24, 2009. I’ve chosen a few images from the festival, including lovely Abbie Cornish, right, attending the "Bright Star" screening.
The main news to come out of the festival is that while there are many top-tier projects available to U.S. distributors, no one is buying. A sign of the bleak economy? Whatever the reason, it looks like some very big movies may be left without a U.S. distributor, which could mean smaller distributors will swoop in and pick them …read more

May 3, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
"New Moon" may be in the midst of filming, but Ashley Greene ("Alice Cullen") and Kellan Lutz ("Emmett Cullen") took time off to attend a charity event at the Kitson store on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles. Look for the "Twilight" sequel to hit theaters on Nov. 20, 2009.
George Clooney signs autographs in South Beach
May 2, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Even a little bleary-eyed (maybe too much wine with dinner!), George Clooney doesn’t hesitate to sign autographs for fans after having dinner in South Beach. Hey, the guy behind him looks even worse!
Clooney has a whole list of movies coming up, either as actor or producer (mostly producer). Currently in post-production are “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” an animated film based on a book by Roald Dahl about a group of angry farmers looking to save their chickens from a fox family; and “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” a movie about the U.S. Army’s First Earth Battalion, a unit that is …read more
