Uma Thurman Needs a Job
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrity Gossip,
Calling all casting directors (and Quentin Tarantino): Uma Thurman is looking to be cast in your next project. Or at least, that's what the Oscar-nominated actress reiterated several times while she was likely a little inebriated at the Golden Globes after party on Sunday night.
According to The New York TImes, the 43-year-old was happy to respond to reporters' questions, but she did so with the same answer:
"Ms. Thurman grudgingly vamped for the cameras, then barked over her shoulder before dashing away, 'You’re a reporter — I need a job.' What was she wearing? 'I need a job.' Where was she headed? 'I need a job.'"
Clearly her stint on Smash in 2012 and her upcoming Lars Von Trier project, Nymphomaniac, aren't paying her bills these days.

+ The intriguing dynamic between Alfred Hitchcock and his wife Alma is on display in the new trailer for Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock. One can easily see from the clips that both Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren are clear Oscar contenders with their potrayals of the married couple.
+ Uma Thurman is the latest actress cast in Lars von Trier's controversial Nymphomaniac. There is no word yet as to who she will play in the film, which marks her first collaboration with the Danish auteur.

Robert Pattinson has a problem. He can’t remember his lines.
“When we do Twilight there is always someone there who takes care of everything and feeds you your lines. I read a lot on set, but as soon as I shut the book I can barely remember the last line I’ve just read,” the Remember Me star admitted.

Quentin Tarantino Renames Kill Bill
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Action, Adventure, Horror, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Quentin Tarantino‘s next Kill Bill movie will have a different name.
The cult director has revealed he will have to re-title the third in the martial arts action franchise because the title character Bill - who was portrayed by the late actor David Carradine - was killed off at the end of the second movie.
“It wouldn’t be Kill Bill. It would be Volume Three of the story of the Bride.”
The Bride, also known as Beatrice, is the female lead portrayed by Uma Thurman. The 46-year-old filmmaker was also quick to deny the third installation of the bloodied action film will be his next project:
“There’s no script; there are just ideas and notes. I won’t do that next, but it could very well be the thing I do after next. We’re getting there. We’re about one movie away. There’s a lot of idle talk going on out there. At the same time, though, it’s what I’ve been saying from the beginning. That cracks me up, because somebody asked me about it in one of my overseas trips and I said it.”

Kill Bill‘s Uma Thurman is worried she might kill her career.
The actress - who has been working exclusively in New York for a number of years so she can be close to her children - thinks it’s time to return to Hollywood.
“I am a mother, but I need to do what I’m good at doing. Even your kids need you to be who you are,” she said. “I’ve been living at home for work for a long time. If I don’t leave soon, I’m going to literally choke my career to death.”
