Wes Bentley Cast as Seneca Crane in 'The Hunger Games' Posted: 05 May 2011 11:36 AM PDT Wes Bentley, perhaps best known as stoner filmmaker Ricky Fitts in 1999′s American Beauty, has been tapped to play Seneca Crane, the Head Gamemaker in The Hunger Games. Though they engineer the look and fake weather of the Arena, the Gamemakers are portrayed as less cruel than simply indifferent to the fates of the tributes they sabotage during the Games. I had always envisioned Crane as an older, tired man, but actually the idea of a thirtysomething Gamemaker fits into the motif of the Capitol and its residents as forever youthful beauties. Since American Beauty, Bentley has appeared in supernatural movies like Ghost Rider and Jonah Hex, yet his latest project There Be Dragons (out tomorrow) actually has nothing to do with dragons and instead deals with the Spanish Civil War and canonization. In the first Hunger Games book, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) has a memorable encounter with the whole group of Gamemakers, when she’s supposed to show off the one talent that will ensure her survival in the Games. Let’s just say, she impresses them. Post from: Crushable Wes Bentley Cast as Seneca Crane in 'The Hunger Games'

5 Facts About Maxim's Sexiest Woman Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Posted: 05 May 2011 10:57 AM PDT Today, Maxim magazine unveiled their annual Hot 100 list of the sexiest female celebrities. The top five were Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Olivia Munn, Katy Perry, Cameron Diaz, and Mila Kunis. While the other four ladies listed here are pretty well known and established, Rosie’s a relative newcomer. So what do you need to know about this British breakout star? 1. She got started as a model. Rosie’s first big break was being selected as a Victoria’s Secret model. She has also done campaigns for brands like Burberry, Miss Sixty, Clinique, and Agent Provocateur. 2. She’s replacing Megan Fox. After Transformers director Michael Bay and star Megan Fox had a public falling-out, Rosie beat out many other hopefuls for the job replacing Megan as Shia LeBeouf‘s love interest. Transformers: Dark of the Moon will open on July 1. 3. She’s distantly related to royalty. Rosie’s grandfather was a baronet, and she’s distantly related to Queen Victoria. So, if she married Prince Harry would she still be considered a commoner? 4. She has gotten a lot of comments on her weight. Like many models, Rosie has gotten a lot of comments on her body and weight. Many people have accused her of being too skinny and of looking unhealthy. Rosie says that she keeps herself in shape with Pilates and that her favorite foods are steak and chips. Proof that Rosie’s body is still a hot topic? The number three Google search for her name is “Rosie Huntington Whiteley Weight.” 5. Her boyfriend is hot. Rosie is dating action star Jason Statham. She was also reportedly linked to French actor Olivier Martinez, who is now dating Halle Berry. Post from: Crushable 5 Facts About Maxim's Sexiest Woman Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Fan Fiction: A GOOP Response from Gwyneth Paltrow's Gardener, José Posted: 05 May 2011 10:49 AM PDT This week’s green thumb-themed edition of GOOP features advice from Gwyneth Paltrow‘s “friend” José, who’s an “expert in the garden.” Translation: José is Gwyneth Paltrow’s gardener. But she deigned to include his layman’s tips in her ultra-populist newsletter — and lucky us, we got our hands on José’s very own email blast, which he sends out to all his gardener friends. JOOP Managing Rich People I get some great lessons in dealing with the wealthy and out-of-touch from my employer, Lady Paltrow (she only makes us call her that after three glasses of Shiraz, but I like to keep a professional distance at all times), who's an expert at not wanting to seem like she's not an expert at anything, and is therefore very easy to manipulate. Lady Paltrow likes to ask my opinion on things. Just the other day she said, "Jose, I've been trying to breed a cucumber with a shoshito pepper because I think the cool-to-spicy ratio would be a perfect element inside the summer salad I always bring to Sir Elton John's Guy Fawkes Day party, which he celebrates in July instead of November because David Furnish looks good in shorts, but it doesn't seem to be taking. Any tips?" I responded: "How about planting the seeds inside the greenhouse (it’s pink) so they have the best chance of cross-pollinating (don't know what that means), and also have you tried candles and Marvin Gaye?" Lady Paltrow thanked me for my help, and afterward, she felt so good about herself for asking my opinion that she gave me permission to spend my afternoon napping in the hammock on the East veranda, the one made of Locks of Love hair from blonde California girls. She also had her “service expert” Annie bring me a glass of lemonade made from the Jonathan Rhys Meyers lemons we’ve been growing all season (pilot season), to which I added a healthy dose of artisanal vodka, the kind made from paint fumes and Damien Hirst’s saliva. We've tried planting some new things this year: thyme, sage, rosemary, discontent, heirloom tomatoes, hissop, pickles. The difference between an heirloom tomato and a regular tomato is that an heirloom tomato is large enough to feed a Guatemalan family (of 37) for a week, and also it can be passed on from generation to generation through a process of regurgitation not dissimilar to that between a mama and baby bird. The secret behind hissop is that it's just grass. But I tell her it costs $80 a bundle and pocket the cash! Here's how to plant your seeds: • Dig a hole • Put the seeds inside Here's how to plant your seeds if Lady Paltrow’s watching (note: sometimes through binoculars, once through a replica Hubble Space Telescope): • Dig a hole using a $700 Kate Spade spade, then pawn that for the plasma TV you've had your eye on for a while • Put the seeds inside and cover with dirt • Get some of that dirt on your pants. She'll offer you a pair of Chris Martin's designer jeans, which have been pre-worn by every member of The Strokes for authentic rockstar fading • Pee on the plot, just out of spite Post from: Crushable Fan Fiction: A GOOP Response from Gwyneth Paltrow's Gardener, José

Am I Right, Ladies? Crap Only a Mother Could Love Posted: 05 May 2011 10:25 AM PDT Who let the moms out? Who? Who? Boo. Hoo. Boohoo. Ah, if only it were called future mother's day then I'd actually be excited about this Sunday, amirightladies? But since my womb remains in the army reserves (and not in the good way) and the IRS doesn't recognize cats as children, let's celebrate the women who got us in this mess in the first place. Stumped about what to get the lady who made you, broke you and made you clean up the pieces? Fear not, plenty of advertisers found ways to magically transform every piece of retail into a mother's day gift. With presents like these, maybe this year she won't let her phone go straight to voicemail! Post from: Crushable Am I Right, Ladies? Crap Only a Mother Could Love

Mel Gibson and the 'Beaver' Dilemma: Loving the Acting But Not the Actor Posted: 05 May 2011 09:27 AM PDT On-screen in The Beaver, Mel Gibson is gripping as a once-great man laid low by depression, first elated by and then terrified of the brusque beaver puppet that takes over his life. Off-screen, we’ve witnessed his DUI bust, anti-Semitic rants, and raging phone calls to ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. Is it right to appreciate the effort an actor puts into a film when we know how offensive he is in real life? I almost didn’t go see The Beaver (out tomorrow), not least because I didn’t think I could sit through two hours of Gibson playing a depressed man who undergoes a strange therapy by talking through a ratty old beaver hand puppet. I’m glad I did, because it’s a fantastic movie, a dark comedy that doesn’t shy away from the bleaker aspects of depression and self-loathing. Plus, the rest of the cast — Jodie Foster, Jennier Lawrence, Anton Yelchin — all turn in magnificent performances. But even though The Beaver has proven itself to be a solidly great film, I felt strange liking it so much. Gibson playing depressed toymaker Walter Black is a frank, funny performance that, while it redeems the character, almost seems like it could redeem the actor. But in the few moments where the movie didn’t capture my attention, I was seized by a self-consciousness for letting my guard down. I couldn’t help thinking, if I were to make it public that I was impressed with Gibson, I was somehow aligning my beliefs with his actions. With his recent interview with Deadline, it looks as if Gibson may be trying to help along that progress off-camera. He claims that the tapes that Grigorieva turned in to RadarOnline were edited, and that much of what he said was “at the height of a breakdown, trying to get out of a really unhealthy relationship.”  He acknowledges the celebrities, like Whoopi Goldberg and director Foster, who publicly came to his defense; as for those who didn’t, he says, “Why would anyone want to speak publicly and drag themselves through this crap?” Post from: Crushable Mel Gibson and the 'Beaver' Dilemma: Loving the Acting But Not the Actor

Nice Try, 'Hunger Games,' But Your Fake Shooting Name Didn't Fool Us Posted: 05 May 2011 08:35 AM PDT Lionsgate continues to batten down the hatches in keeping Hunger Games casting news secretive, but they’re no match for smart fans. Exactly a month ago, on April 5, Tona B. Dahlquist Casting set up a Facebook page for a new movie called Artemis, which would be shooting outside of Asheville, North Carolina. But much as they tried to stick to their uber-secretive ways, three things gave them away: 1. The area around Asheville is much more rural than other parts of the state: Since the Arena is mostly woodlands, this is the ideal space for the 24 tributes to be scattered about and fighting one another in trees and by rivers and lakes. 2. Among Dahlquist’s requests was one item that asked for “over a thousand adults”: Considering that we’ll be seeing into each of the 12 districts, it makes a lot of sense. What other movie would need that many extras? 3. The Facebook page mentions that Artemis‘ director is Gary Ross: The man has practically become a household name, so there’s no way he could be working on something else that big. A few weeks ago, Picktainment’s Fireside Chat interviewed three women who had visited casting calls. One attendee, Deitre, mentioned that some of the people were dressed professionally, but others who realized what the project was appeared dressed in-character for the various tributes. This fascinating account from a writer for Asheville’s Citizen Times gives more details, and a clearer idea of what the casting agents were looking for when she stood in line. So, it was pretty obvious from the start that this was a whole lot of subterfuge for The Hunger Games. We’re scratching our heads as to why Lionsgate would have picked Artemis as a code name; the only connection we’ve heard is someone pointing out that Artemis was the young, female hunter of Greek myth, which matches up nicely with Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) primary mode of survival.

What Should I Watch On TV? The Shows of Your Adolescence Are All Grown Up Posted: 05 May 2011 08:23 AM PDT Sometimes the interests of your childhood come out in your adult life. You loved your pets, and you became a vet (or professional dog walker), you were into drawing and now you’re a graphic designer, you were obsessed with video games and now it’s been seven years since you left your basement . And what you watched when you still had to schedule time in front of the TV around homework can translate to what you’ve got on your DVR now. It can work the other way too; with old shows coming out on DVD and stations like Nickelodeon brings back retro line ups, your favorite show now could reveal what you should have been watching as a kid and seriously need to catch up on.

3 Facts About Shia LaBeouf's Girlfriend Karolyn Pho Posted: 05 May 2011 10:08 AM PDT Although paparazzi snapped pictures of Shia LaBeouf kissing a “mysterious new brunette” yesterday, she isn’t just a one night stand. Shia and Karolyn Pho have been together since at least December, when they were photographed coming out of an L.A. pizzeria. So who is the lucky low-key lady? 1. She’s a stylist Although Shia has dated actresses in the past – most notably Carey Mulligan – he went for someone who wasn’t a performer this time around. That explains her great style – most recently, she was snapped in a chic printed maxidress. A few years ago, Shia did an interview where he said that “a stylist friend” had introduced him to Rihanna – could this have been Karolyn, or was it just a coincidence? 2. She’s a California girl Karolyn was raised in a Vietnamese-American family in Anaheim (in nearby Orange County) and attended Canyon High School before moving up to L.A. for her career. 3. She’s smart about social media. Unlike some chicks who date famous guys and then have embarrassing moments come back to haunt them, Karolyn seems to have thought ahead. She reportedly took down her MySpace and Facebook pages when she hooked up with Shia. Post from: Crushable 3 Facts About Shia LaBeouf's Girlfriend Karolyn Pho
