Here’s the international version of the Inglourious Basterds trailer starring Brad Pitt.
This version doesn’t show much more, but it certainly gives a good feel for the comedic aspects of the film. Tarantino has a knack for dark humor, he’s just never applied it to WWII situations.
Bill Nighy (Underworld, Pirates of the Caribbean) is going to play a part in the final two Harry Potter movies, but we don’t know if he’s playing the character Scrimgeour or somebody else.
It’s been a running thing with the actor where he has often dropped hints in interviews that he was one of the few British actors not to be cast in a role in any of the previous six films, so his nudges finally paid off.
“I don’t think I’m allowed to say it but I’m going to be in the next Harry Potter film,” he told the newspaper. “I won’t say which character, but he’s a goodie. I just got the gig.”
The Leaky Cauldron reported this casting on their “PotterCast” a few weeks back and they believe the veteran actor will be playing Rufus Scrimgeour, a veteran Auror in the Ministry of Magic who spends most of his time fighting Dark Wizards.
The first half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is scheduled for release on November 19, 2010 with the second half scheduled for July 15, 2011.
He’s a great actor and certainly a good addition to the final installments in the Harry Potter series.

One of the most exuberant fashion designers today, Betsey Johnson, is talking about retiring after her September showing. Although retirement is on her mind, abandoning fashion altogether is not. She would still like to be a consultant for her line.
“I’ll go in. I want to be like Ralph [Lauren]. Like, I always imagined the perfect life is like Ralph, where he goes in, and his wonderful expert crews show him work, and he goes, ‘Love it, love it, love it, um, we’ll just put that aside for the moment, love it, love it, hmmm.’ You know what I mean?” she said. “And be that — be the inspiration, the light at the end of the tunnel, the fairy godmother that comes down.”
Her signature cartwheels down the runway will be sorely missed.
Here’s the poster for the upcoming film Five Minutes of Heaven starring Liam Neeson.
The story of former UVF member Alistair Little. Twenty-five years after Little killed Joe Griffen’s brother, the media arrange an auspicious meeting between the two.
I still can’t tell what this is really about, but the poster is cool.
With her catwalk co-horts Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Amber Valetta and Helena Christensen to name just a few, supermodel Karen Mulder was one of fashion’s brightest stars during the 90s. Unfortunately the bombshell has had some problems recently and was arrested in France for making threatening phone calls to a plastic surgeon.
Mulder became aggressive after the medic refused to reverse an earlier operation she had undergone.
A police source says, “She was screaming and shouting about the operation and became extremely threatening.
“There were repeated calls to the female surgeon who was extremely scared. The suspect is being interviewed.”
The Dutch born model has had trouble with severe bouts of depression and has attempted suicide in the past. She had turned her life around after spending quite a long time in a hospital after the failed suicide try. Hopefully, if that is what triggered this rage, she can get herself together again and be there for her young daughter.
Here’s the poster for the upcoming comedy Couples Retreat.
The story revolves around four couples who go to a tropical island resort, with one couple working on their marriage and the others sucked into the resort’s couples therapy. Bell is playing Bateman’s wife, Davis plays Favreau’s wife, and Akerman plays Vaughn’s.
This will probably be pretty amusing, but I’m not expecting a killer comedy here.
While ‘Project Runway’ is no longer a Bravo TV line-up, one of the (many) sponsors of season 5 - Bluefly.com - will finally have winner Leanne Marshall’sdrapey dreams for sale. The designer says it has taken her longer than she originally anticipated, in part because of her cross-country move.
She moved to New York earlier this year and spent months sorting out which manufacturers to use. “At first it was just incredibly overwhelming,” she told us. “I learned this stuff in school but when I’m actually doing it as opposed to ‘I’ll just whip this up myself,’ it’s an entirely different method. It was an incredible learning experience. You know, next time it’s going to be so much easier.”
Marshall has such a sophisticated palette and sensuous flow to her garments and she is able to keep that integrity with her lower priced Bluefly line. I love Marshall’s aesthetic and she was the quiet underdog of season 5. Tim Gunn still mentors her and she designed a maternity dress for Heidi Klum. I can’t wait for more from her.
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming family film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.
It’s still strange seeing ‘lifelike’ animated versions of the cartoon characters I loved as a kid, it just isn’t the same. I’m sure the kids will love this though.

Kate Gosselin loves to cook healthy meals for her family, but despite her recent family struggles, the publisher of her newest cookbook hasn’t postponed its release. However, that might soon be changing. Christian publishing house Zondervan is still advertising a November release for “Love is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories“, but will “work with Kate to reassess the schedule for her next book.”
Tim Penning - an assistant professor of communications at Grand Valley State University in Michigan- has predicted the publisher will most likely still postpone the cookbook’s release:
“It would be a fine line for them to try to sell this book with the kind of revelations that have happened,” he told USA Today. “I think the public generally understands that it was a good idea, but times have changed. Zondervan has to think about not just this product, but their brand and their reputation. They should also be thinking about Jon and Kate, too.”
I have to agree- this book is about making happy family memories over the dinner table, meanwhile, as this book was written, the author’s family was falling apart. They need to be ministering to the family- the book can be sold later.
What do you think? Does the publisher need to postpone release of “Love is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories”?

Whitney Port is showing off her awesome City style for the July/August issue of Woman’s Health. I know that I am for sure jealous of some of the outfits she wears in The City. I think she for sure has an amazing sense of style.
“It’s a mix of West Coast and East Coast styles, with a little vintage flair. I also use lots of color. People get into a rut wearing the same thing day after day. It’s important to try something new—even if it’s just adding a pop with a vivid top.”
And now you can add color to your wardrobe with Whitney’s help. She shows you how with the photo shoot she did for the magazine. I love the clothes. I’m surprised since I’m not really into bright colors. But it works for me.

Keira Knightley
The other day the first ad was released of Keira Knightley and her Coco Chanel ads. But today there have been more pictures released from the photo shoot. Keira has a classic look and I think she fits the ads perfectly. I’m sure that all guys aren’t complaining about the looks of these.
Up next for Keira is a short new movie, The Continuing and Lamentable Saga of the Suicide Brothers. It’s written by her boyfriend, Rupert Friend. It sees two brothers named Bourbon and Barath try to kill themselves in a shed at two o’clock. Keira plays their fairy godmother who always prevents the boys from killing themselves.
In this world of all the deaths and recession another magazine is adding to the list. It has announced that they are done and are closing.
On behalf the VIBE CONTENT staff (the best in this business), it is with great sadness, and with heads held high, that we leave the building today. We were assigning and editing a Michael Jackson tribute issue when we got the news. It’s a tragic week in overall, but as the doors of VIBE Media Group close, on the eve of the magazine’s sixteenth anniversary, it’s a sad day for music, for hip hop in particular, and for the millions of readers and users who have loved and who continue to love the VIBE brand. We thank you, we have served you with joy, pride and excellence, and we will miss you.

This just shows you where everyone is headed. And I am wondering if magazines will just eventually just be all online. I’m not sure about buying magazines anymore when all I need to do is search for the information on the internet.
This season of The Bachelorette has been such a snore. Jillian Harris is nothing special, and the guys have all accused each other of having girlfriends and bad intentions over and over again. Last night’s episode was wacked out, with Ed (who supposedly left the show for his career) making a return, and Jake flying to Wes’ hometown to accuse him of having a girlfriend named Laurel. It was all so staged and ridiculous.
Anyway, that being said, we have some spoilers for you that are actually pretty decent.
#2- Regarding Ed: The rumors circulating are that a girl that he was dating who believed she was his
girlfriend is pretty upset at what has transpired with him on
The Bachelorette. This girl couldn’t get a hold of Ed for a bit when he left for “Texas” (i.e. Spain and Hawaii). An email was sent asking “So I guess we’re seeing other people now” and Ed said “No, I just need to wait until this show is over.” According to sources, this Chicago
girlfriend of Ed’s is apparently under the assumption they are still together and she just has to wait out the show.
#3- While Wes Hayden may be a complete d-bag, he is getting at least partially hosed as far as editing goes. His comments about girlfriends and “tasting” fame are taken largely out of context. Regardless, Wes goes home next week.
So did Ed really leave the show to go back to this girl, who he then left again to be with Jillian on the show? With Kypton & Wes out of the running, that only leaves Reid and Ed with a chance to be with her in the end. How jacked up will it be if Jillian chooses Ed in the end, and HE is the one with the girlfriend all along?
