As we said in our earlier posts, the Harmony Korine’s written & directed “Spring Breakers” made a big splash at the Venice Film Festival earlier this evening (Wednesday, September 5) as the film’s sexy cast hit the red carpet premiere in full-on Oscar-esque glamour. We were curious what these girls would wear after looking great earlier in the day at the photocall.

Hollywood Reporter reviewed the film, so here’s an excerpt:

Even by the elastic measure of James Franco’s unpredictable career, the actor gives one of his more bizarre performances in Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers. Playing a Florida white-trash gangsta with beaded cornrows and a gleaming mouthful of metal, he’s a cross between Bo Derek in 10 and Richard Kiel in Moonraker. At one point he sits poolside at a cheesy white grand piano and sings a Britney Spears ballad while three co-eds in DTF pants and pink ski masks do an impromptu dance routine with AK-47s.

Sounds good? Well, like the film as a whole, Franco’s borderline parodistic performance is interesting only up to a point. It may be one of Korine’s more conventional narratives, but this is basically a porn-pulp snort of derision at the American Dream and the youthful search for self, packaged as Beach Blanket Bingo on acid. It has hypnotic visual style and a dense, driving soundscape. But it’s also too monotonous and thematically empty to be seriously provocative.

More than by Franco, the film’s profile will be boosted by the presence of former Disney Channel cuties Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens among all the bong-hitting, boozing, coke-snorting, breast-baring, grinding bodies. “Poetry in motion” is how Franco’s drug-dealing rapper Alien describes the crowd at a beach beer blast. “Bikinis and big booties, y’all. That’s what life is about.” [Continue reading...]

We’d like to note that Candice Swanepoel still holds the honor for having the hottest “Walking Past Me” pics in the history of beautiful women walking past somebody.

These latest photos of Miranda Kerr were snapped earlier today in Sydney as the supermodel mommy was seen rocking a white & yellow floral print dress & carrying a stylish Chanel purse as he headed into a building. Assuming she wants to be part of New York Fashion Week which kicks off this week, Miranda should be heading out of Sydney any day now.

Porsche Design 40th Anniversary party was held last night a private (sugar daddy) residence in Los Angeles. The main hottie in attendance was of course Kate Beckinsale, so the fact she showed her support for Porsche simply makes her a little more hotter than before. Out of curiosity, I just hit the Porsche Design website & saw they have the following two items for sale:
Blackberry & ShadesPhoto Credit: Porsche Design; $600 Aviators & an $1800 Blackberry. I gotta admit, I’m kinda diggin’ the phone!

Anyway, here are a few more of the attendees:

Kristen Stewart Admits She’s Very Bad At Being A “Star”

 while thinking about eating a Bastardly Certified lunch by 2

“I’m not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people. Like if I were to sit down and think, ‘OK, I’m really famous, how am I going to conduct myself in public?’ I wouldn’t know who that person would be!”[British Vogue]

Kristen Stewart is at that age and phase of her career where she should be America’s sweetheart. Instead, she finds herself running ten or so (dozen) spots behind Betty White as she admits that she’s “not smooth” and “clumsy” when it comes to being a movie star. The star of the much anticipated Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 which opens November 16 tells British Vogue, “I know that if you haven’t thought about how you want to present a very packaged idea of yourself then it can seem like you lack ambition. But, dude, honestly? I can’t.”

Dude, she goes on to say, “People expect it to be easy because there you are, out there, doing the thing that you want and making lots of money out of it. But, you know, I’m not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people. Like if I were to sit down and think, ‘OK, I’m really famous, how am I going to conduct myself in public?’ I wouldn’t know who that person would be! It would be a lot easier if I could, but I can’t.”

I’m no PR specialist, Kristen, but maybe it’d be easier for you if you weren’t caught smooching your directors in public while your boyfriend sits at home? Just a thought. Maybe we should ask Will Ferrell.

“Spring Breakers” Photocall @ Venice Film Festival (w/ Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomes, Rachel Korine, Ashley Benson)

Excuse the flood of “Spring Breakers” related photos, but the storm will soon pass once the premiere goes down later this evening at the Venice Film Festival. We’re still pretty surprised that festival organizers chose to screen this film, but hey, if youthful sex sells, it sells. Gotta stay with the times, right? We doubt it’ll take home the Golden Lion (the top prize at the festival), but it’ll definitely get a lot of press out of the whole thing.

“Spring Breakers” is scheduled to hit theaters March 5, 2013, so if you wanna watch it early, pull some strings & get your ass to Venice for the screening in a couple hours. Starring Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, James Franco & the writer & director’s wifie Rachel Korine, we have a feeling it’ll make a nice splash in theaters next year. Believe it or not, but Emma Roberts was in the original lineup before she dropped out in early 2012 due to “creative differences that couldn’t be resolved” (maybe it was a nude or lesbian scene?). She was subsequently replaced by Ashley Benson, who in our opinion, is the better/hotter option of the two chicks.

Here’s some plot action:

The four girls Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Faith (Selena Gomez), Brit (Ashley Benson), and Cotty (Rachel Korine) are best friends since grade school. They live together in a college dorm and want to go on an adventure.

For spring break the four girls hit Florida to celebrate their vacation. But they get into a lot of trouble after they run out of money and decide to rob a restaurant. Therefore they land in jail, later Alien a drug and arms dealer (James Franco) bails them out and wants them to do some dirty work. Source

Cold Light of Day: Film Review

 while thinking about eating a Bastardly Certified lunch by 0


Visit the film’s official website!

Once upon a time, Bruce Willis was everyone’s favorite wisecracking action hero. This was before he helped a young soothsayer “see dead people” and after he spent years on ABC playing romantic foil to Cybil Sheperd. Maybe it’s the inevitable fact of aging in Hollywood, but this being the sixth movie to star Willis in 2012 (yes, sixth), he seems to be literally sleepwalking his way through the role. There is absolutely nothing he does or says in The Cold Light of Day that you haven’t seen before in a thousand better acted and written movies, most of them starring Willis himself. In fact, if you’re anything like me and could predict with almost word-for-word accuracy the dialogue in the movie, you might think of demanding a writing credit from the studio. Alas.

The story is about a man named Will Shaw (Henry Cavill) who decides to head to the land of a thousand paellas to sail the Mediterranean and maybe catch a glimpse of Spanish gypsies. Of course, like in all thrillers, his family ends up kidnapped by intelligence officers in search of a mysterious briefcase that possesses the secrets of . . . something. I won’t give away what’s inside, but suffice is to say its contents were regularly featured on every episode of Inspector Gadget I watched as a kid.

The cast includes the best actress in America who isn’t Meryl Streep (Sigourney Weaver) but even her tough take-no-prisoners demeanor is wasted in this Bourne wannabe. Willis seems to be literally sleepwalking his way through the part, uttering about six lines of dialogue before he disappears for good from the proceedings. By the end of it all, you may be wondering if he was there at all or if you just imagined him in the movie. Cavill, who will be seen in the upcoming Superman reboot, is okay, not entirely flat but hardly inspiring. Then again, with material like this, you’d be a fool to expect anything stellar. Forget it ever existed. And remember that once upon a very, very long time ago, Bruce Willis was a major movie star, not a bit part day player.
