Everybody’s favourite comedy duo, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, are reuniting on the big screen it would seem!
The two are said to be starring in upcoming Universal movie, The Nest, about two sisters who arrive back to their family home to find it up for sale and have one last crazy weekend.
The movie will be directed by Pitch Perfect‘s Jason Moore.
Amy and Tina have long been a funny force to be reckoned with and have collaborated on many movies such as Mean Girls and Baby Mama.
They have also hosted The Golden Globe awards together on two occasions.
It would appear that Scarlett Johansson is not a fan of her nickname, ScarJo.
The actress spoke with Glamour magazine about her strong feelings on the subject saying, “I associate that name with, like, pop stars. It sounds tacky. It’s lazy and flippant…There’s something insulting about it.”
Scarlett also spoke about her distaste for interview questions only female stars get asked: “Actresses get stupid questions asked of them all the time like, ‘How do you stay sexy’ or ‘What’s your sexiest quality?’ All these ridiculous things you would never ask a man.”
Scarlett stars in the newly released trailer for Jon Favreau’s movie, Chef. The comedy also stars Sofia Vergara, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Downey Jr.
It has been reported that the investors over at Disney are becoming increasingly worried that Maleficent is going to scare away movie-goers and be a flop in the box office.
Although Maleficent has been targeted more towards a young adult genre than younger children, the Disney investors are worried that the movie could do badly and cost the company millions.
The movie does look quite dark and scary and it would seem that this could affect parents wanting to bring their little ones to see the movie.
Angelina Jolie, who stars in the terrifying lead role, has admitted that her daughter, Vivienne had to star as a young Aurora because other children were so scared of Maleficent’s costume.
However, she also spoke about the importance of Maleficent in teaching young girls an important message: “It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that’s good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you’re saying they should be a villain…[Maleficent] is actually a good person. But she’s not perfect. In general, it’s a very good message to say, ‘Let’s look at something from the other side’.”
Halle Berry has admitted it was tough trying to shoot her movie, X-Men: Days of Future Past while three months pregnant.
Talking to Queen Latifah on her chat show, Halle said: “I was three months pregnant. It was different. I had to shoot really fast … Two weeks was about as much as I could do before I was busting out of the suit.”
The actress, who is married to Oliver Martinez since last summer, welcomed son Maceo into the world in October. Maceo is a younger brother for Halle’s adorable daughter, Nahla.
Halle will once again reprise her role as Storm in the next X-Men instalment, due out in Ireland on the 22nd May.
It looks as if Margot Robbie’s little brother, Cameron, is set to follow his big sister’s footsteps to Hollywood.
The dashing 19 year-old has just begun filming his first movie in Australia, a short film called Gifted.
It doesn’t look as if the teenager got the part just because of his famous genes either, as co-director Ryan Unicomb explains: “When we auditioned him we didn’t realise he was Margot Robbie’s brother”.
Cameron’s sister, Margot, hit the big time in Hollywood last year after starring in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street.
Let’s hope Cameron can live up to his big sister’s name!
Naomi Watts has admitted that she has regrets about the direction the Diana movie went in.
The actress played Diana in the film by Oliver Hirschbiegel of the same name.
The movie was a disaster in the box office, earning only $20 million and receiving a lot of criticism.
Naomi also received a nomination for a Golden Raspberry for Worst Actress thanks to her role in the film.
When speaking of the film, Naomi says: “I got seduced by the fantastic role…But ultimately there were problems and it ended up taking a direction that was not one I was hoping for. With risk there is every chance of fail. If you have to go down with that sinking ship, so be it.”
The movie certainly hasn’t harmed Naomi’s acting career as she is set to star in three films this year and next: St Vincent de Van Nuys opposite Bill Murray, Birdman with Emma Stone and Ed Norton and finally While We’re Young with Ben Stiller and Amanda Seyfried.
We all know Disney’s messages can sometimes be a bit questionable, such as “you need a man to live happily ever after” and “sometimes Stockholm syndrome actually works out”, but there are some important things we can learn from our favourite movies.
1.Don’t run away from your problems
‘Hakuna Matata’ otherwise known as ‘procrastination’ is a temporary solution. You’ll sooner or later have to face reality.
“The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.” — Rafiki, (The monkey,The Lion King )
2. Be your own hero
Screw the knight in shining armor. Buy yourself a sparkly dress and get over it.
3. Hard work is necessary
Menial jobs aren’t a waste of your time. You learn patience, endurance, people skills, humility, and you can later utilise those qualities to succeed.
4. Be careful who you take advice from
With social media the lines of friendship are blurred. If you take everyone’s opinion on board it’ll seriously cloud your judgement.
5. Leave your comfort zone
Your twenties are the best time to go travel and explore. You haven’t lived yet if you haven’t taken risks.
“I’ve been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky.” ~ Tangled
6. Laugh
In a world of contradictions you need a sense of humor. *Ohh life…you hilarious son of a bitch you*
7. Break some rules
We’re not condoning anything illegal but some rules just need to be broken. *Opens up the can of worms and hides under table*
“The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.” — Emperor, Mulan
8. Be yourself
It’s easy. Just be you.
9. Don’t Settle
Don’t get a boyfriend for the sake of it. Don’t settle for anything less than you deserve.
10. Never give up
Walt Disney built an entire empire with his pencil. Don’t just follow your dreams, chase them.
The Essex gang are said to be moving from the small screen to the silver one in the first ever reality TV movie.
The makers of hit show The Only Way Is Essex have apparently been in talks with film executives to bring Brentwood to Hollywood.
The movie will apparently feature most of the show’s favourites – Arg, Gemma and Mario to count a few, and will also see the return of some familiar faces, such as Joey Essex.
There will be a few surprise cameo appearances in store too, and the movie is said to include ten times more scandal and drama that the TV series.
It may be perfect timing for a movie as TOWIE series 11 is coming to a dramatic end tomorrow night.
