Nicole Kidman Bails Out Of Woody Allen Film

Josh loposer — Wed, 13 May 2009 17:02:00 GMT

Woody Allen's next film, scheduled to start shooting this summer, is now looking for a new leading lady, since Nicole Kidman has unexpectedly walked away from the role. Is she clearing her schedule to spend more time with that alpaca? Or could it be something else?

Nicole was all set to appear alongside all sorts of big shots like Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts, Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas -- a totally stacked all-star cast. Then, all of the sudden, she's out.

As of yet, she's given no reason for the sudden withdrawal, but it seems pretty obvious why she won't have time for a Woody Allen film shoot when you take a look a the number of pregnancy rumors going around about the Australia actress.

When she was pregnant with Sunday Rose, Nicole didn't show until way late in the pregnancy, so there's just no way to hold back the speculation that Nicole is knocked up -- but will these rumors be confirmed? Is Nicole just taking a break to relax, or is she expecting?

Minnie Driver Multi-Tasks

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:35:00 GMT

Here's actress Minnie Driver talking a walk somewhere in California with son Henry. I think it takes great skill to hold a cup of coffee and an infant at the same time. I wouldn't be so worried about dropping the baby as I would be about accidentally spilling some of my $5 cappuccino. Hey, don't judge me.

I'm not sure if Minnie ever revealed who Henry's father is. I know there was a rumor that it was musician Craig Zolezzi, but I don't recall hearing that confirmed. Not that it really matters - Minnie seems perfectly happy to be a single mom. Although, if the dad was there he could hold the baby while she took better care of that coffee.

Diane Lane Happy With Blended Family

Karl Erikson — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:05:00 GMT

Single mom Diane Lane, 43, divorced her first husband Christopher Lambert when daughter Eleanor was a toddler. "It's better to be friends and be functional than a married couple and dysfunctional," Diane says.

Christoper "Highlander" Lambert is still involved in Eleanor's life...she's now 15, believe it or not. Diane equates her early single motherhood with "having a croquet mallet in one hand, a tennis racket in the other, a baseball bat in the other, and some fins on my feet." Wait, how many hands does Diane have?

Now she married to actor Josh Brolin, who is playing President Bush in the upcoming Oliver Stone movie "W." And it's a mixed family - Josh has children with his ex-wife Alice Adair. There's Trevor, 20, and Eden, 15, so it's a pretty busy life for Diane, but she's very happy.

Eleanor loves the blended family, too. Diane says that her daughter loves visiting her stepgrandparents, James Brolin and Barbra Streisand. Nanny Barbra makes gourmet meals for the holidays, and even comes to the kids' plays.

Diane's latest movie, "Nights in Rodanthe," is already in theaters. I couldn't care less about the nights. I'm much more interested in what happens in Rodanthe during the day.

She talks about pregnancy, saying, "Every fiber of your being is alive. It's like you are conducting electricity. I'd like to give birth every year if I could, just for that experience."

Thandie is married to English director Ol Parker. And while she hates that she has to work away from home, she thinks it's great that her daughters have a wonderful relationship with their father as a result. She's enjoying a great family summer in Vancouver, taking Ripley to horse camp and shucking oysters with her and Ol. "It's pretty idyllic," she says.

The star of movies such as "Crash" and also TV show "ER," Newton is next going to be seen in Oliver Stone's biopic of George Bush, titled "W.," which comes out next month. She'll be playing Condoleezza Rice to Josh Brolin's George Bush.

SAG Awards: Daniel Day Lewis Dedicates Award to Heath Ledger

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 21:35:00 GMT

Daniel Day-Lewis, while accepting his SAG award on Sunday night, gave a moving tribute to Heath Ledger. Day-Lewis, who was named Best Actor for his leading role in There Will Be Blood, called Ledger, and his roles in Monster's Ball and Brokeback Mountain, an inspiration. "Of course, in Brokeback Mountain he was unique," Day-Lewis said. "He was perfect. And that scene in the trailer at the end of the film is as moving as anything I have ever seen."

During a backstage interview Day-Lewis was asked why he decided to dedicate his award to Ledger. "I suppose that's all I've been thinking about for the last few days. I never met him. I thought he was beautiful. I just have a very strong feeling that I would have liked him very much as a man. ...I admired him very much."

SAG Awards: Angelina Jolie Looking Pregnant on the Red Carpet

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 02:35:00 GMT

The Screen Actors Guild Awards, the first star-studded awards show of the season, are now underway. But who can concentrate on the show when we're all trying to figure out if Angelina Jolie is knocked-up? The actress walked the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in a loose, flowing dress fueling speculation that she's pregnant.

Of course, no one's considered the possibility that maybe she just likes loose, flowing dresses or maybe just wanted to be comfortable after she hits the after-show buffet line and scarfs down all those hors d'oeuvres. I'd wear a big dress too, if I knew there was a room full of cheese balls and shish kebabs waiting for me.

Jolie is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Marianne Pearl in A Mighty Heart. If she wins maybe she'll announce her pregnancy. Probably not.
