Ben Stiller Talks ‘Zoolander 2′

zoolander5

Here’s what Ben Stiller said about the possible upcoming sequel Zoolander 2.

Stiller says that it would be set 10 years later with Derek Zoolander dealing with the fact that he is no longer a model, possibly spending his days running a modeling school and taking care of his now 10 or 11 years old son. And Stiller says that a sequel couldn’t be made without Owen Wilson reprising his role as Hansel.

Here’s the video:

 

I’m not a big Ben Stiller fan personally, but Zoolander cracked me up. Hopefully they get around to making the sequel, as stupid as it will be.

‘Thor’ Gets a Nemesis

The new film Thor has locked down an actor to play Loki, Thor‘s nemesis. 

The cast for ”Thor” is starting to fall into place this week, with Tom Hiddleston tapped to play Loki, the mischievous foe of the god of thunder.

Announcement of the up-and-coming British thesp follows Marvel Studios’ recent decision to make Chris Hemsworth, currently seen in ”Star Trek,” its hammer-wielding superhero.

Nicknamed the god of lies and mischief, Loki uses his talents at sorcery to try to kill Thor, his more powerful brother, whom he resents.

Hope these guys can really express the botherly distain for each other in the movie.

George Clooney is a ‘Private Gentleman’ Who Will ‘Stare at Goats’

george_clooney_01

George Clooney is locked in for two new upcoming films, A Very Private Gentleman and Men Who Stare at Goats.

Focus Features has set Clooney to star in “A Very Private Gentleman,” an adaptation of the Martin Booth novel to be directed by Anton Corbijn…

Clooney will play an assassin who hides out in an idyllic Italian town before carrying out a final assignment. He resists his usual aversion to human interaction, and his friendships and romantic entanglements complicate his mission…

Separately, in the first major pickup of the festival, Overture has grabbed domestic rights to war comedy “Men Who Stare at Goats,” featuring Clooney, Ewan McGregor,Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges and helmed by Heslov.

McGregor stars as a journalist who stumbles upon an ex-member (Clooney) of a secret U.S. Army unit that used paranormal tactics.

Both sound pretty intriguing. Clooney is practically swimming in work, hope the movies are good.

Anne Hathaway Charming In Green

Anne Hathaway Red Carpet

Anne Hathaway was seen glamming it up at the 2009 Annual Village Voice OBIE Awards last night. Her dress was a scaly green number that looks amazing on her. I could never get bored of seeing Anne all the time.

There is Oscar buzz around her for the role in Rachel Getting Married. She commented on it recently:

“Well, I’m trying to remember that there is nothing real to focus on yet.  It’s a lovely compliment and it’s lovely to feel that people are anticipating good things for you, that people are cheering for you, but I have to look around at where I actually am, and where I actually am is a wonderful place I’ve been nominated for a Golden Globe and the Independent Spirit Award and I also just got the National Board of Review and I’m so pleased all of them that I don’t think I could be any happier.  I just have to keep telling myself that it really shouldn’t get better and that all of this is more than enough.”

It think that Anne really puts herself in a role and can go with it. I would love to see her get the Oscar this year.

Melissa Rycroft is Happy About Her Final ‘Dancing’ Routine & Getting a Puppy!

Melissa Rycroft

Though her dance routines landed her in third place after last night’s Dancing with the Stars finale competition show, Melissa Rycroft is happy with what she did. But does she think she’ll win the title?

“Not confident, just happy,” the reality starlet said. “We wanted to get out there and have fun, and backstage we were just relaxed and having fun.”…”This was kind of our last performance, and I felt like there was nothing to lose!” adds Rycroft, who placed behind Shawn Johnson and Gilles Marini, who tied for first.

“When you come out there everyone’s yelling your name, it’s just a great feeling,” Rycroft adds.

And after it’s all said and done, does Melissa still plan on saying goodbye to fame and heading back to Texas?

“I’m going home to Texas, and I’m going to get a puppy!” she says. “Tye said he’d get me a dog if I made it to the finals, and now I’ve been telling everyone so he has to!”

Good for you, girl! This chick’s a total class act, and hasn’t turned her fifteen minutes into a career of desperation like Deanna Pappas. Go home to your family and your man and make an amazing life for yourself. We are behind you!

Bridget Marquardt is Kendra Wilkinson’s Bridesmaid & Bachelorette Party Planner!

Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson

The stars of The Girls Next Door were more than just co-stars and sharers of Hugh Hefner, turns out they really are good friends, too! With Kendra Wilkinson‘s wedding to NFL star Hank Baskett just around the corner, Bridget Marquardt is spilling the details of her role in all the shenanigans!

“I am in charge of the bachelorette party [and the bridal] shower,” Marquardt said….”They have asked me to collaborate with them. They are looking into a couple different venues right now. They have to pick the venue because of filming and permits and all that kind of stuff. The film crew wants to come with me to scout a few different locations this week.”

Along with fellow Girls Next Door alum Holly Madison, Bridget will also be serving her duty as a bridesmaid.

“There are other girls, too,” Marquardt says, adding that she took Wilkinson wedding dress shopping but still needs to do some fittings for her own dress. “Some playmates and her best friend from San Diego. I think there are five of us all together. It is not too big of a wedding.”

When asked if a wedding of her own to boyfriend Nick Carpenter would be in the near future, Bridget said no… Well it’s always fun helping your girlfriends plan their big days!!

I can’t wait to see pictures from this wedding. Kendra and Hank seem to be madly in love and we are so happy for them. She’s going to be a beautiful bride!
