Focus Features has announced a November 18, 2011 US release date for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. YAY!

This is without a doubt one of the most hotly-anticipated films of the year. It’s certainly in my top 3.  I hope this means we’ll be getting a trailer soon! I’m dying to know what’s up with Tom Hardy’s character (among other things.) Speaking of Tom Hardy, have I mentioned lately how insane this cast is??

Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciaran Hinds, Mark Strong,  Toby Jones, John Hurt, Stephen Graham, Simon McBurney and Kathy Burke*. this is like a Who’s Who of British character actors, (plus the very adorable Jamie Thomas King from “The Tudors” and then there are a couple of Russians thrown in just to stir things up.)

Also, without having seen a single frame of footage from this film, my estimation of the new Three Musketeers remake has just gone up a notch (okay, half a notch) since Peter Straughn wrote the screenplays for both films.

Jennifer Lopez’s ex Ojani Noa found himself a loop hole in publishing (read: SELLING) the sex tape they allegedly made during their honeymoon. What a very sentimental douchebag, yes?

The loophole was he sold it to his girlfriend Claudia Vazquez and she’s the one selling it. It’s always nice when two douchebags hook up isn’t it? This chick deserves him because if he does this to his ex-wife, there’s no telling what he’ll do to her.

The tape was filmed in 1997 and TMZ points out it features some spankin’ and some booty. There are three porn companies involved in the bidding war: Red Light District, YouPorn.com, and PornHub.com. The bids are around the $40K mark which is low. The reason it’s low? There’s no actual sex.

Lopez 41, has been trying to block the release of the film because under their divorce agreement he was not to publicly discuss (in any form) their marriage. I love me some JLo and she never should be embarrassed or ashamed of anything. She is the whole package in my eyes and she should be happy she’s left that dirtbag in her dust. He and his new girlfriend deserve one another.

MORE nude photos of Blake Lively have been leaked and apparently it is a hacker who has a major grudge or something. Yesterday Blake Lively’s reps insisted the pictures were not Blake. I told you why I actually thought it was her (although at first I didn’t think it was).

NSFW – Blake Lively Nude iPhone Photos Leaked – Reps Say ‘Fake’

Well the psycho hacker has released more pictures of her clothed this time and it is totally her (in my opinion anyways). What do you think? Blake or not?

I’m not justifying this guy from hacking into her phone or computer to get these photos (nor am I justifying my posting them because that is just as wrong I do realize) but I do not, for the life of me, understand why girls do this. And yes if the photos or phone is stolen it is totally wrong and a complete invasion of one’s rights, but the ONLY way to mitigate something like that is to NOT take pictures of yourself nude. It really is that simple. In this day and age in technology you have to be extremely careful. And in her industry? Why would she trust anyone?

Anyways, this hacker is pissed that her reps are denying it’s Blake and has issued a warning to the reps via TMZ:

“Oh, yes, Blake’s rep. These are totally fake.  We really, really believe you.  Want moar?  BTW, thanks for all the faps.” (FYI: “faps” is a reference to pleasuring oneself)

Apparently there are 17 more pictures released. You have to wonder if this is an ex-boyfriend or what?

The (bootleg) red band trailer for  the remake of Niels Arden Oplev’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo looked exceedingly cool, there is no doubt about it, before it was yanked. I wonder if we’ll ever know whether or not it was actually leaked or whether it was a Sony ploy – if it was, it was a damned good one since it had the entire wide world of web talking about a movie that doesn’t even come out for nearly 7 more months.(“The Feel Bad Movie of Christmas” is not a tag that many would dare to hang on a film.) Of course, the masterful use of the Trent Reznor/Karen O cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” helps on that front.

The trailer for David Fincher’s version also looked very similar to the original. As in almost but not quite shot-for- shot similar. It was even filmed in Sweden. So, I have to again ask, “WHY?”

Fincher is a talented director and I admire a lot of his work and he has assembled a first-rate cast, starting with Daniel Craig and including Rooney Mara, Robin Wright, Stellan Skarsgård, Christopher Plummer, Joely Richardson, Steven Berkoff and Joel Kinnaman (from AMC’s “The Killing”. Did you know he’s actually Swedish?)

I’ve mentioned before that I’m quite sure I’ll enjoy Craig as Mikael Blomkvist, but I enjoyed Michael Nyqvist in the role as well and it’s just really soon between the two. I am having a very difficult time believing that Rooney Mara is going to make anyone forget Noomi Rapace. Her Lisbeth Salander is pretty indelible.

I just can’t help feeling that the whole thing is simply because Americans are too lazy to read subtitles. And that just makes me sad.

Okay, here’s something that makes me glad: A couple of international posters have hit the web and Slash Film has them

They definitely capture the spirit of the trailer and most especially, amp up the dangerously sexy appeal of Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomqvist.    They also look amazingly similar to what Fincher described to the Hollywood Reporter back in February

“ he takes out an iPad and clicks on a photo he’s planning to use for the Dragon poster. It shows actor Daniel Craig half-hidden behind co-star Rooney Mara, who’s looking directly into the camera. Her hair is spiky, her face pierced with rings, her body covered in tattoos. It’s black and white and beautiful, but there’s no way in hell any studio will ever let Fincher use it, as he knows.

Because Mara is naked from the waist up.”

I’m willing to bet, however, that this is not the poster that ends up hanging at the multiplex in Peoria, warping poor little Junior’s delicate sensibilities as he waits in line to see Arthur Christmas or the new Muppets movie.

Fincher’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens in the US on December 21, 2011.

Khloe and Lamar on Babymoon

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom went on a little baby making trip for their Memorial Day weekend.  Sounds like fun to me!  Did you catch the season finale of their show?  I loved it! These two are struggling to make a baby, but now that Khloe is in the clear with the docs, she’s ready to get this baby on!

Khloe Kardashian Talks Weight Issues

Hopefully the Montage Resort & Spa in Laguna Beach was the perfect setting to get the “job” done!

Sources told Life & Style that they are even thinking about going the IVF route… I think that’s a bad idea… she just found out she’s fine and they can do this on their own… why not give it a chance first?

“She told me she’s been working with a doctor and a team of people to help her get pregnant. She recently stepped things up and began exploring new methods,” a source close to the family tells Life & Style.  “She’s asked about every possible way to help her infertility problems, like trying artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization,” a pal of Khloé’s confirms. “She really wants to get pregnant by the end of the year.”

Lamar is such a sweetheart.  He want s a baby, but more importantly, he want Khloe to be happy,

“He’s being extremely supportive and is willing to do whatever it takes,” an insider reveals. “But at the end of the day, he just wants Khloé to be happy.”

Here’s to lots of beautiful babies without any intervention you two!!
