Isla Fisher: Sacha Baron Cohen Is an Embarrassing Husband

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,

Sacha Baron CohenSacha Baron Cohen is an embarrassing husband.

The Dictator star's wife Isla Fisher is constantly amazed by the gaffes he makes when he meets other celebrities, and she was left particularly red-faced when he confided in Jack Black that his spouse was unhappy with the size of her breasts.

Sacha is famous for his "mockumentary" comedy movies which have seen him play Kazakh television personality Borat and gay fashion TV presenter Bruno and feature him asking outrageous questions to unwitting individuals. "I cannot tell you how embarrassing he is in social situations. To him, there's no difference between the awkward gaffes he deliberately makes as a comic, and the terrible faux pas he innocently commits as my husband," Isla said.

Explaining she and Sacha had gone to a movie screening, which saw a curvy woman make a long speech before Jack made a shorter address, she continued, "After the film, Sacha said to Jack, 'Why did you have to make such a short speech? You should have shut up the woman with the big bosoms and said more yourself.' Jack said through gritted teeth, 'That was my mother.' Although even that didn't silence Sacha. He told Jack,' Well at least your mother has a fabulous bosom.' And he turned to me and said, 'You've always wanted larger breasts, haven't you Isla?' I wanted the floor to swallow me up."

Jared Leto: Fasting Isn’t Bad

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Photos,

Jared Leto, photographed by Terry RichardsonJared Leto is hoping to achieve a "meditative state" by fasting.

The 40-year-old singer-and-actor was cast as a transsexual woman in new movie Dallas Buyer's Club - for which co-star Matthew McConaughey has dramatically lost a huge amount of weight - and is taking his diet to the extreme to look right for the role, though he admits it has sparked some "weird" effects on his body.

"I'm playing a transsexual woman. I didn't get involved in the project until three and a half weeks ago. Your body goes through weird stages (when fasting). Sometimes it's hard to hold on to water. But for me, it's not about the most weight I can lose, it's more to represent the character. I'm focused on what it means to be a transsexual woman. Historically, people have done it for pursuit of self, to achieve a meditative state, so I'm hoping for that, and not the other things. It's not necessarily a bad thing," he told Vulture.

However, Russell is only human and he does still need to relax and he allows himself treats every week: "F*** it, I'm going to have a vodka. It may be 7.27am in the real world, but it's after work for me (sic)."

Anne Hathaway Was ‘Inconsolable’ After Her Haircut

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Hair Styles,

Anne Hathaway as FantineAnne Hathaway was "inconsolable" when she saw the result of her latest haircut.

The 29-year-old actress recently chopped off the majority of her long brunette tresses to prepare for her forthcoming role of Fantine in the film adaptation of Les Miserables, and she was reduced to a "mental patient" level of tears when she first saw the finished result.

"[I was reduced to] a mental patient level of crying ... I was inconsolable," she said.

Anne initially didn't think her trim would be a "big deal," but she now insists having her hair cut so short was harder than "doing back flips out of windows and jumping off of buildings."

"I wasn't expecting [cutting my hair] to be a big deal. It was my idea to do it, since it was something the character did. [Then] I realized I couldn't take it back," she added.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,

Jenna Dewan and Channing TatumChanning Tatum has told his wife to stop waxing.

The 32-year-old actor underwent an intensive beauty and grooming regime for his role as stripper Michael Lane in his new film Magic Mike, and he has given his wife Jenna Dewan permission to stop waxing her legs after undergoing the painful hair removal procedure himself.

"I didn't want to shave because I just wanted to do it once. That was a big mistake, I will never do it (wax) again! I don't know how women do it. I did have a huge amount of compassion, but after I told my wife that she doesn't have to do it anymore, she still does it - so I have zero compassion! I said let everything go, no one needs to go through that."

The film - which also stars Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and Joe Manganiello - is based on Channing's own experience of stripping when he was 19 and short of cash. The Hollywood heartthrob recounted how his most embarrassing moment on stage was the first night he ever performed one of his saucy routines, when he realized his sister Paige was in the audience:

Josh Hutcherson and his new puppyJosh Hutcherson has named his puppy after Ryan Gosling.

The 19-year-old Hunger Games star adopted a Blue Pit puppy from a rescue center last week and decided to call it Driver, after one of Ryan's film characters. "I'm obsessed with the movie Drive, and Ryan Gosling's character was named Driver. I always thought it was a good name for a dog so it just kind of worked out," he said.

The actor is looking forward to "taking it easy" for the next few months, after being worked into the ground by ex-Navy Seal Logan Hood to bulk up for his role in The Hunger Games:

"[Logan] just kicks ass. [He had me] flipping tires the parking lot and slamming baseball bats against body bags - crazy things! It was so unconventional, and you're working muscles you didn't even know you had. You're like, 'How am I possibly this sore?' I felt like with Logan, I was sore for four days afterwards, and we worked out five days a week, so I was in a constant state of soreness!"
