Jennifer Hudson rocked some thigh-high boots at last night's VH1 Divas Celebrate Soul at the Hammerstein theatre in New York and I have to say she looks crazy sexy. That outfit says bend over and take it like a man, doesn't it? They are dominatrix like but with a softer side because they are pink and bedazzled.
She's worked so hard to lose her weight and she should show off that killer body.

Khloe Kardashian cheers on husband Lamar Odom in Dallas as he plays for his new team the Dallas Mavericks and Khloe chit-chats with Lamar's new boss Mark Cuban. I don't know how Khloe can resist from dry-humping Mr. Cuban, but kudos to her for showing great restraint. Did I mention Mark Cuban does it for me? I would be so coy and giggly talking to him but inside I would be picturing having his head in a vice grip with my thighs and ignoring his cries for me to stop.
Although the move to Dallas has made Khloe kry tears of sadness, they won't be making a permanent move per se as they will only be renting a house that will see brother Robert Kardashian move in with them.

Here'a an eye-opener for your Monday morning…a little sumpin' sumpin' to get the heart pumping: British chiller Kill List, a hitman/crime thriller/occult amalgam from director Ben Wheatly, has been generating a lot of buzz on both sides of the pond. The Guardian said it's what would result if "Ricky Gervais and Mike Leigh made a horror film". So expect some humor and some dark pathos surrounding the human condition as well as whatever else they throw in there. Just read the poster, it's gotten raves.
Synopsis: Eight months after a disastrous job in Kiev left him physically and mentally scarred, ex-soldier turned contract killer Jay (Neil Maskell), is pressured by his partner Gal (Michael Smiley), into taking a new assignment. As they descend into the dark, disturbing world of the contract, Jay begins to unravel once again – his fear and paranoia sending him deep into the heart of darkness.
Maskell and Myanna Buring are Jay and Shel, a married couple whose seemingly 'normal' middle class existence hides the truth of just what it is that daddy does or doesn’t do to earn a living. Along with Smiley's Gal, they form the triangle at the heart of the film.
Here's the US Trailer:
Kill List has played a number of festivals including SXSW, TIFF and Vancouver. It’s been out in the UK since September and is finally coming out in the US. It’ll be on VOD starting January 4th and will then get a limited engagement at the IFC Center in NY on February 3.

We finally have a first look of some sort from Sylvester Stallone's new action movie, Bullet to the Head, costarring Jason Momoa. It looks like this flick is going to be as over the top as…well…Over the Top.
That’s Sly of course, trying to stave off being cleaved in two by an axe. The manly muscled arms trying to do the damage belong to Jason. I’d know that bicep anywhere, not to mention the forearm tatt.
Bullet to the Head, formerly titledHeadshot(God, that drives me nuts! Time and time again, a movie has a more clever title and it gets changed to something more idiot friendly), is directed by Walter Hill (48 Hours, Warriors, The Getaway-actually his credits are many. He can do action).
The setup: After watching their respective partners die, a cop and a hitman (Stallone’s Jimmy Bobo (Yes, that’s the character’s name. Something tells me that name is going to be a running gag in the movie. It’s too ludicrous to be played straight.) form an alliance in order to bring down their common enemy.
Momoa plays Keegan and ordinarily I’d say he plays the cop and Christian Slater, whose character is called Marcus Baptiste, would be the “common enemy”, but if that’s the case, something goes horribly wrong somewhere if Jason’s trying to embed an axe into Sly’s skull. And by the way, Sly is 65. Jason is literally half his age and seven inches taller. I have no idea how much either of them weigh, but c'mon. I think it would take the titular bullet for Sly to stop Jason. Just sayin'.
Stay tuned for updates. Bullet to the Head fires at theaters in the US and the UK on April 12.
I think you all know how much I enjoyed Gavin O’Connor’s Warrior. I’m sure you’re also aware that it comes out on DVD and Blu-ray, as well as VOD and Digital Download, this Tuesday December 20. (Has this month flown or what?) There’s still time to stuff someone’s stocking with a little Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton!
Just to fan the flames, we have a deleted scene from the dvd to share. Nick Nolte, who plays Paddy Conlon, abusive(recovering) alcoholic father to Hardy’s Tommy and Edgerton’s Brendan, has just been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award for the role. In this scene, Paddy is trying to find a way to reconnect with his son who he hasn’t seen in many, many years. Paddy’s reaching out, even though it was Tommy who came to him because he wanted his father’s help as a trainer. You could cut the tension with a knife.
Back in September when this film came out, there was awards talk by critics who had been impressed by this little movie about forgiveness, redemption and family set amid the world of mixed martial arts. Hardy, Edgerton and Nolte had all been mentioned. Of course that talk has cooled considerably. If you wonder why all of the “best” movies, or at least those deemed to be awards contenders, all come out at the end of the year, it’s because the public in general as well as voting members of various, guilds, societies and academies all have short memories. Hardy and Edgerton may have been overlooked in what has been a good year for actors in general, but I’m glad the film was remembered by some and Nolte in particular.
Nick Nolte is 70 years old and has two films currently in pre-production, two more in post and another currently filming, in addition to the new HBO series, “Luck” with Dustin Hoffman. His Warrior director, Gavin O’Connor recently said of him,“Nick is as an artist. If Nick didn’t become a movie star, he’d be doing dinner theater in Long Beach right now. Because that’s who he is. He’s an actor.” That reminds me of that bit they do at the start of every SAG awards show, where they go around the room and random actors (okay not so random, usually some of those nominated that year) talk about how they got their SAG card and end with “I’m ____, and I am an actor.” He’s been nominated before, and I’m cynical enough to believe he won’t win, but how cool will it be when he gets to do that bit?
One more time, Warrior comes out on dvd this Tuesday, December 20.

How weird is that? I was just thinking the other day that it had been quite some time since we’d heard anything about Bel Ami, the Nick Oremerod and Declan Donnellan period drama based on a novel by Guy de Maupassant with Robert Pattinson. It’s been since August actually, that we had anything new to bring you. Considering the world-wide megahit that Twilight: Breaking Dawn – part 1 has become (shocker, huh?), you’d think the producers of Bel Ami would want to get a piece of that publicity. Well, today we have some new pics of Pattinson on set in costume and some stills. Also pictured are Holliday Grainger, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas.
Well, the movie looks lush anyway. Pattinson stars as Georges Duroy, a man of modest means who basically sleeps his way through Parisian high-society during the period known as La Belle Epoque (the age so wistfully described by Marion Cotilliard in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.) The women in question are Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci, so hopefully this one will draw a more mature audience than his sparkly vampire role. Although, who am I kidding? Those emo-vamp flicks didn't make bazillions from the babysitting cash of tweens alone. Therefore, this one has a huge built-in audience. The set design and the costumes are enough to get me into the theater.
Bel Ami has been filmed seven times before, dating all the way back to 1919 (although four of those were for French television.) The film finally has a couple of release dates. 2nd March in the UK…and Lithuania. 27th June in France. Nothing for the US…yet.
I'm not one of those that swoons at the mention of RPattz, but I can enable with the best of 'em. Enjoy the pics girls (or whoever…)
