Michael Fassbender Brings Shame to London! (PHOTOS)

Michael Fassbender Brings Shame to London! (PHOTOS)

Continuing his quest for world domination, Michael Fassbender, along with the film's director Steve McQueen, brought Shame to the BFI London Film Festival for a gala screening. Yesterday we brought you the first trailer for the film, in which Fassbender plays a 30-something New Yorker, addicted to sex and looking for love in all the wrong places. (His sexual escapes take him all over the city, including  a room in The Standard Hotel with its floor to ceiling windows.) Brandon's life is further complicated by the arrival of his younger sister, Sissy played by Carey Mulligan, who's got her own baggage.

This is Fassy's second film with McQueen (for whom it's his second film period) and it was recently announced that they would reteam for a third time with McQueen's next outing. Twelve Years a Slave, based on the autobiographical memoir of Solomon Northrup, tells the story of a man (Chiwetel Ejiofor) living in New York during the mid-1800s who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the deep south.  Ejiofor and Fassbender. Can I just say this is a combination that I am VERY much looking forward to seeing? 
 
Shame opens in NY & LA on December 2. Enjoy the pics!

Gerard Butler Is All Wet (PHOTOS)

Gerard Butler Is All Wet (PHOTOS)

While it may look like Gerard Butler has a million women chasing him (what's new?) and out to sea no less, he's really filming a scene for his latest film, the Curtis Hanson directed Of Men and Mavericks, a biopic of the late surfing legend, Jay Moriarty. Moriarity, who will be played by Jonny Weston, pioneered the giant waves at the Northern California break known as Mavericks at 16 then died June 15, 2001 a day before his 23rd birthday in a diving accident in the Indian Ocean.

The scene in question, which involved hundreds of extras featured Butler as Moriarty's friend and mentor, Frosty Hesson and Leven Rambin (who plays Moriarty's young wife.) They were recreating a 'Paddle-out' that paid tribute to the maverick surfer after his death, hence the traditional leis around some of the surfers necks.
 
All that aside, seriously are you even still reading? …it's Gerard Butler…in a wetsuit…half-out of a wetsuit…wet

ABC Cancels Charlie’s Angels

ABC Cancels Charlie's Angels

That didn't take long. ABC has pulled the plug on the remake of the Charlie's Angels series starring Rachael Taylor, Minka Kelly and Annie Ilonzeh. The Drew Barrymore executive-produced show has stopped production with some of the shows still unaired. Those shows will continue to air 8 p.m. EST Thursday nights up against X-Factor.

The show first aired on September 22 (which means cancelation happened less than a month later, ouch). The first show wasn't a slouch in the ratings either. It attracted 8.7 million viewers with those numbers dwindling down as each episode aired. The October 6 show attracted 5.9 million viewers

The original Charlie's Angels originally starring Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson saw a shelf life of 5 seasons. 

There is no word on what will replace the series or at this time any reactions from the stars of the show. The show did not receive good reviews at all when it first aired. In fact the exact opposite. The Hollywood Reporter's Tim Goodman said of the show when it aired:

It’s beyond heinous. It contains some of the worst acting of the last decade on network television, much of it by Minka Kelly.”

Did you watch Charlie's Angels?

Kelsey Grammer Talks Marriage To Camille With Piers Morgan (VIDEO)

Kelsey Grammer Talks Marriage To Camille With Piers Morgan (VIDEO)

Kelsey Grammer sits down with Piers Morgan and spills his guts about his marriage to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer and says that the reality show was his 'parting gift to her'. Let me address this first. He is an arrogant f*cking hypocrite of the biggest proportion.

He forgot to untuck his balls from his vagina at the time and TELL her it was a departing gift. That makes him not only a hypocrite but a coward. He used that opportunity to screw around with his latest wife Kayte Walsh who from what I have read (and I obviously don't know them or if this is true) she went after him with a vengeance. Having said that, if it is in fact true, she deserves him. If he cheats with you honey, it's only a matter of time before he cheats on you. He made it very clear how he treated a wife when he met you. Lucky for him that she's too young and naive to truly see that. But she will.

I love how now, after 13 freaking years of marriage he realizes it was a mistake and she really just married 'Frasier'. The best part is how he said the day they got married Camille asked for a divorce and his words of wisdom to women was not to play that game because it will happen. While I agree with him about not playing games, it's kind of baseless to 'it will happen' when that takes place 13 years later! He could handle 13 years of that, up until Kayte Walsh walked into the picture. Idiot.

However I don't think Camille was the perfect wife or faultless in the breakdown of their marriage. She did want fame, and now she has it, but she lived in his shadow for 13 years and that couldn't have been easy. Not that I'm making excuses for her. I watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and she thinks the world is jealous of her (they're not). But overall, I think she's a good person, just a bit (or a lot) self-absorbed.

Kelsey, on the other hand shows zero remorse for the failure of the marriage not to mention takes no accountability for how it ended other than to say he ignored the warning signs. That's a huge red flag that Kayte will have waving in her face one day and she will look back on her marriage to Kelsey and say 'I overlooked the signs'. Afterall, she's just like him.

This interview airs Monday on CNN.

Friday’s Fabulous Fashionistas Are: Sofia Vegara, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jessica Alba and More

Friday's Fabulous Fashionistas Are: Sofia Vegara, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jessica Alba and More

"Ignore that guy in the background," as Modern Family star, Sofia Vergara, 39, strikes a pose tall and centre while attending the Monika Chiang LA Store Opening on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA on October 10, 2011.  Sofia is the toast of the event in this simple, yet elegant, black body hugging dress with black and gold clutch and gold band bracelet.  (Try saying that five times.)   And to think that when Sofia was first starting out in Hollywood, she was told to lose weight.  Hah! Look who's smiling now!

Accompanied by his gorgeous wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, 42, it's nice to see actor Michael Douglas, 67, looking the picture of perfect health when they attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) last night where he was presented with the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film by none other than his Dad, Kirk Douglas.  Catherine sparkled in a beaded chiffon purple shift with gold strappy shoes with jewel-encrusted clutch.  Michael is equally dazzling in his black single-breasted evening suit.  And the only accessory he needs, is lovely Catherine.

Showing off her post-baby figure, and rightfully so, is Jessica Alba, when she attended the Giorgio Armani/Vanity Fair private dinner in Los Angeles, California on October 11, 2011.  Jessica, 30, kept it simple but elegant in black trousers and black shirt topped with white blazer, accessorized with snake skin clutch and shoes.  And the just right amount of gold jewelry completes the look.  No matter the occasion, Jessica knows how to nail it.   Hey ladies, to get her look, visit ehow.com.

Meanwhile, across the pond Aussies invade Buckingham Palace.   The Queen held the A-list bash prior to her leaving next week for an 11-day tour of Australia to open a meeting of Commonwealth leaders.  However, out of the 300+ plus who attended, two undeniably stood out the most.  Elle MacPherson, 47, (aka – and understandably – "The Body") was sleek and sexy in this blush-coloured Donna Karan number with matching handbag and pumps.  (Hmm … I'm not sure who should be the one to curtsey.  Elle or the Queen?)   In any event, Elle looks like she could be on her Majesty's Secret Service.   So I only have one question to ask … when are they going to make this woman a Bond Girl???  But ladies, also looking very 007-ish was Hugh Jackman, 43, who was quite dashing in his dark blue suit and striped tie, whom I'm sure even had the Queen feeling weak in the knees.  (Come on, Liz.  Admit it.  You know he's a keeper.)   Come to think of it, if they made Hugh Jackman the next Bond, wouldn't Elle MacPherson make a great Bond Girl?  Just sayin'.

Also looking fabulous in London, UK are model Kimora Lee, 36, and her husband, actor and model, Djimon Hounsou, 47, who attended the PUMA Creative Catalyst Awards at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Hyde Park, London, on October 11, 2011.  The 36-year-old supermodel and mother of three is stunning in this little black number.  Kimora likes wearing LBDs to events.  However, this is the cutest little black dress I've seen her in.  And don't you just love the scalloped embellishment?  Not sure who the designer is, but I'm pretty sure it's not from the Baby Phat collection.  (No offence.)   And let's not forget her dapper hubby, Djimon who is equally stunning in black with black tie.   Don't they make a fabulous couple!

Definitely the most glamorous wedding guest on the list, Kate Moss, 37, attended Paul McCartney's wedding to Nancy Shevell on Sunday, October 9.  Kate wore a shimmering Lanvin metallic sheath and black stilettos with black leather clutch and kept the look classic with minimal make-up and hair pulled back.  It reminds me of how Kate looked when she first started modelling.  She appears quite content in this photo.  And it wasn't too long ago that she was also a bride.  Hmm … looks like married life is agreeing with her.  I hope so.

The most famous mother-in-law on the planet, Carole Middleton, 56, along with her husband attended a dance event in London on October 11, in aid of the British Red Cross.   The Duchess of Cambridge's mother was elegant as always dressed in a black dress and white jacket by Catherine Walker.  However, regardless of any event she attends, perhaps her most famous accessories are her toned legs.  It's easy to see where Catherine and Pippa get their good looks from.   Carole has even mastered the art of exiting a car in the most dignified and graceful manner possible.   (Perhaps that's because she knows the paparazzi are lurking about!)  

Friday's Fabulous Fashionistas Are: Sofia Vegara, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jessica Alba and More

And last, but definitely not least, model and actress, Andie MacDowell, 53, attends a photocall to celebrate McDonalds-Germany's up-and-coming 40th Birthday and to support their 'Helping Hand' charity in Berlin, Germany, on October 14, 2011.  Andie is sizzling in this red hot dress and red is definitely her color.  I love how it contrasts with her hair.  While in her teens, Andie worked at McDonalds.  But something tells me she's now far removed from snacking on burgers and fries.

That's it for another week, readers.   Hope you enjoyed this week's picks.  What are your picks?  (My pick for this week:  Kimora Lee.)   Drop us a line and see you next week!

Nicki Minaj Covers W Magazine 18th Century Style

Nicki Minaj Covers W Magazine 18th Century Style

Wow. Nicki Minaj covers the Art & Fashion issue of W Magazine giving us her unique version of 18th Century Style (that thing hanging from her eye must hurt). Within the magazine there are more portraits of Nicki Minaj in various period pieces. My favorite is where she lets her hair down in the beautiful feminine white dress.

These depictions are courtesy of Francesco Vezzoli who says:

“I wanted to play with the public image of a female hip-hop star,” said the Italian artist. “During my entire career, I have always been fascinated by powerful women in history. I have spent a lot of time researching the ways they were represented in art and how their images were used to mold the public imagination—and to convey aesthetic and philosophical ideas about beauty and sexual desire. My main interest has been to link the historical artistic approach to female representation to contemporary icons of the media era.”

So what do you think? Do you like Nicki's version of 18th century style?
