Phillip Seymour Hoffman Just Has the Soup

Whit Honea — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 16:35:00 GMT

Hey, what's soup du jour? Phil will have that.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman and assorted clinger-ons, including, and I'm just guessing here, his kid, grabbed a bite to eat in Hollywood.

The guy in the red hat? He's not staying.

Everybody Still Loves Heath

HerBadMother — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:01:00 GMT

In case you were wondering, no, the love for Heath Ledger will never stop.

The most recent edition of Interview magazine devotes an entire spread to tributes to the late actor, who is lauded for being a great father, a gifted actor, and an all around awesome guy. Did you doubt it? A sampling:

Amy Pascal: "He was always introducing you to 3,000 mates whose names you can’t remember."

Philip Seymour Hoffman: "Heath didn’t have the cynicism that this business can eventually put upon people, or the pretension that certain artists can carry with them sometimes. He had a really honest quality about him. He obviously had never lost his wide-eyed optimism."

Sean Penn: "Heath was not simply a quiet and gifted actor who liked to go surfing, though that is how I primarily knew him in life. In the time we spent together, we spoke a bit about family, about travels, but most of all, about film.Yet, in his unassuming way, he never revealed to me the visual poet of the first order who I discovered watching the film clips he directed, music videos and such, after his death. His talent does speak volumes of the kind man, the loving father, and, in fact, the brilliant and gifted guy I really missed out on—that we all did, in the long run. Heath might have been a giant."

Other celebrities interviewed include Michelle Williams, Naomi Watts, Ellen DeGeneres, and Heath's I’m Not There director Todd Haynes.

Michelle Williams & Naomi Watts Speak About Heath

Sassy Smith — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:32:00 GMT

It's been almost 2 months since actor Heath Ledger passed away - accidentally overdosing on prescription meds. And for the first time, Michelle Williams - his ex fiance and mother of his daughter Matilda - speaks out. Also, another past love of his - Naomi Watts - has only kind things to say about him. Here are excerpts from Interview magazine:

Michelle says:

"For as long as I'd known him, he had bouts with insomnia. He just had too much energy. His mind was turning, turning, turning - always turning. He had an uncontrollable energy. He buzzed. He would jump out of bed.

"I think that the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, is how vulnerable he was. You can pick up on it in his performances, but it’s easy to overlook because he was so physical and beautiful and strong and masculine. But there was always that underlying sensitivity. That’s who he was."

She remembers the time following Matilda's birth as the best of her life:

"The first six weeks of our daughter's Matilda's life was this incredibly insular, protected time.

"It was just he and I and her, living in our new house in Brooklyn. No nanny, no help - not really even any family. A couple of friends came through, but we were really committed to forming a bond just between the three of us. And then that bubble got broken with work.

"Brokeback Mountain was going to come out and the press stuff just started rearing up. But those six weeks were just blissful."

What Naomi, 39, had to say:

"His acting was just so touching, so connected in truth. I think he was just getting started.

"That's the deepest tragedy in terms of his work - he was just beginning to own it and embrace it."

It's still so sad.

Other stars interviewed: Ellen DeGeneres, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Sean Penn and Heath's I’m Not There director Todd Haynes.

FameCrawler Oscar Picks: Where We Demonstrate That We Really Do Have an Opinion on Everything

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:35:00 GMT

Without a doubt one of the things keeping you up late at night is wondering "Who do the FameCrawler bloggers think will win big at the Academy Awards?" (Of course, that along with, "Who will Jamie Lynn take to Lamaze class?)

This must be your lucky day, because here are our completely unsolicited opinions (Sorry, can't help you out with the Jamie Lynn thing):

Sweatpantsmom:

Best Actress: Laura Linney (I love her. Ellen Page was great in Juno, but has no 'body of work.' That there is Academy-speak for "She ain't been in nuthin' else.")

Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee (First time nominated. She's 83, for chrissakes - just give it to her already.)

Best Actor: George Clooney (He's hot. And I still watch ER, hoping for him to make a surprise cameo.)

Best Supporting Actor: Hal Holbrook (See Ruby Dee, above)

Best Picture: Juno (Juno Juno Juno. Has anyone even seen the other movies?)

Whit:

Best Actress: I didn't see any of them, so I'll go with whoever looks the hottest.

Best Supporting Actress: See above.

Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis

Best Supporting Actor: That kid from There Will Be Blood. Oh, he wasn't nominated. Um, how about that rat from Ratatouille?

Best Picture: There Will Be Blood

Best Host: Jon Stewart (Lifetime Achievement to Billy Crystal)

Her Bad Mother:

Best Actress: Prediction: Julie Christie; Wish: Ellen Page

Best Supporting Actress: Prediction: Cate Blanchett (but will be happy if she or Tilda Swinton or that little Irish chick wins it)

Best Actor: Prediction: Daniel Day Lewis; Wish: Viggo (Johnny's hot, but Sweeney Todd? Nope. Viggo's hot AND deserving for that penis-baring knife fight)

Best Supporting Actor: Prediction/Wish: Javier Bardem

Best Picture: Toss-up: No Country For Old Men or There Will Be Blood. Can't call this one.

Karen:

Best Actress: Ellen Page because she is a Canucklehead like me.

Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton because if I could have a celebs life it would be hers and Johnny Depp would be my boy toy. (See below.) Although the step-mom in Juno should have been nominated.

Best Actor: Johnny Depp - because he is my back-up husband and deserves it.

Best Supporting Actor: Phillip Seymour Hoffman because I'm a big fan of his work and he rocks and that's all you need to know.

Best Picture: Juno, hands down has to win because I'm a Mom and I said so.

Sassy Smith:

Best Actress: Julie Christie

Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee

Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis (totally want Johnny Depp to win but whatever..lol)

Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem

Best Picture: No Country For Old Men

Julia Roberts Speaks About Her Golden Globe Nomination and Going Potty

Karen — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 17:10:00 GMT

Julia Roberts was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Charlie Wilson's War, where she co-stars with Tom Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

"Usually the triumph of my day is everybody making it to the potty," she told Matt Lauer on the Today show this morning. "So yes, I think it's thrilling."

Roberts speaks highly of her co-stars: "Both of them are great. Philip is – he just kind of blows my mind a little bit. …Tom is probably the most honest person on screen and off screen that I've ever spent time with acting wise, he's just amazing."

On her 3 year old twins & Christmas: "just starting to figure out Christmas and the specific holiday."

On holiday traditions she will be passing down to the twins and 6 month old Henry: "It's a good food holiday in our house. So, I think, you know, the baking we do, the cookies with the icing."

Julianna Margulies Still Pregnant

BadKitty — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 19:14:00 GMT

Julianna Margulies looks very happy. She's due in mid-January with her first child and it appears that she's in that magical mid-pregnancy time. You know, after the morning sickness and before the swollen feet, when you're just excited that you get to eat carbs and dessert.

Julianna and her fiance Keith Lieberthal were in NYC at the Cinema Society premiere of the Sidney Lumet film Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, which stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Albert Finney. Oh, and Ethan Hawke.

I love how casual people are in New York compared to Hollywood. Julianna's in jeans and that cute coat. With all the empire waist action this year, I can even imagine Paris or her ilk tossing on a topper like this for the red carpet. But instead of jeans she probably would wearing some glitter power and a g-string. If we were lucky.

Actually, I think it's the smile that really makes Julianna look so good in this picture.
