We have new images to share from a lot of films you’ll be hearing more about in the new year, from the just announced Sundance line-up there’s Lay the Favorite with Bruce Willis, Catherine Zeta Jones and Rebecca Hall, Celeste and Jesse Forever with Andy Samberg, Rashida Jones and Elijah Wood and Goats with Vera Farmiga, David Duchovny and Ty Burrell.

“An adventurous young woman (Hall) gets involved with a group of geeky older men who have found a way to work the sportsbook system in Las Vegas to their advantage.”

“Celeste and Jesse (Jones and Samberg) met in high school, married young, and at 30, decide to get divorced but remain best friends while pursuing other relationships.”

 “Ellis (Graham Phillips) leaves his unconventional desert home to attend the disciplined and structured Gates Academy. There, he re-connects with his estranged father (Duchovny) and for the first time questions the family dynamics.”

We have first looks at Sam Worthington in Wrath of the Titans, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill in Neighborhood Watch as well as Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner in Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.  That one is definitely on my list for 2012. This one seems more in line with “Grimm” than “Once Upon a Time” if you get my drift. The cast includes Famke Jenssen and Peter Stormare with a script by Dante Harper and Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola making his English language debut.

The film uses the original Brothers Grimm tale as the jumping off point.

“15 years after their traumatic gingerbread-house incident, siblings Hansel and Gretel have become a formidable team of bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world.”  Oh yes. I’m there.

“Perseus (Worthington) embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, who has been targeted for capture by his traitorous son, Ares, and his brother, Hades.”

“Suburban dads form a neighborhood watch group to get time away from their families, only to discover a plot to destroy Earth.”

Enjoy the pics!

Whether it was strutting down the street, making an exit or sashaying down the red carpet, my fashionista radar picked up on a certain trend this week:  Anything from casual to the casually elegant.  "Casually elegant" you say?  That's right.  That may sound like a contradiction in and of itself, but as you'll see, our Fashionistas will show you it does exist!

British actress, Gemma Arterton, 25 attended the official public opening of GUCCI MUSEO at the Palazzo della Mercanzia in Florence's Piazza Signoria in celebration of Gucci's 90th anniversary on September 28, 2011.  Gemma wore a black straight line skirt with a delicious buttery-soft, camel coloured leather jacket with matching clutch.  Gemma is currently filming Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, which is an American action/horror film that will be filmed in 3-D.  It's scheduled for release on March 2, 2012. 

Jennifer Anniston steps out with hunky beau Justin Theroux (who, according to my sources, apparently shied away from the camera so as not to steal her limelight) to attend the screening of her directorial Lifetime project Five at the Skylight Soho in New York Monday night.  Five is an anthology of short films dealing with the subject of breast cancer.  The gorgeous blonde, 42, kept it casual but sexy in black trousers, with low-cut vest and peek-a-boo black lacy bra with a simple gold necklace.  Hmmm … when a guy steps away from the limelight so that his lady love can capture all the attention, you know it's the real deal. 

American actress and singer, Evan Rachel Wood, 24, rocked the red carpet wearing a white mens‑inspired YSL tuxedo jacket and pants at the premiere of her film, The Ides of March, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills, CA on September 27.  The blonde beauty harmonized the suit with a black satin bustier accessorized with Neil Lane strands of pearls and black stones, and completing the look with Giuseppe Zanotti pumps and Salvatore Ferragamo clutch.  (Suffice it to say, we know who wears the pants in her house.  Just sayin'.) 

Pan Am star, Christina Ricci, 31, is flying high casually and elegantly in ever-so-comfy jeans complemented with a gold sweater and chic black jacket for her appearance, Friday, on Good Morning America  in New York City.  But what I like most is that gold studded handbag which looks like something from a James Bond flick.  Yeah, don't mess with her.  Now that's the way to travel!

Keeping up with the Kardashians star, Kim Kardashian waves to the fans as she leaves her New York City hotel recently in casual, but dressy, high-waisted black trousers with white and black blouse and Birkin handbag.  Kim has been cheering on her brother Rob weekly from the audience while he performs on Dancing with the Stars.  As you'll recall, Kim was also on DwtS.  So who do you think is the better dancer, Kim or Rob?  I know one thing that's certain.  When it comes to fashion, Kim wins that one, hands down.

Nicole Scherzinger, 33, is all legs as she packages elegant and sexy all in one in this black sequined short suit with white silk blouse and black Louboutin platform pumps when she attended the iHeartRadio Music Festival at the MGM Grand Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada recently.  Short suits, sequined or not, are all the rage right now.  And from what I can see, Nicole gives new meaning to the term "short, but sweet."  Apart from her solo singing career, Nicole is now a judge on the American version of The X Factor, which premiered in September 2011.  (And a hundred bucks says that Simon Cowell keeps a defibrillator close by.)

Completing our Friday Fashionista list is Nicole Richie who is ready for fall in casual pants with tailored blazer and flowing silk chiffon scarf, while making her way through L.A. recently.  Nicole is known for her boho chic style and while this look may be a bit of a departure from that, I think it suits her quite well.  And the world's most famous maid of honour, Pippa Middleton, also keeps it casual but sweet for fall in blue jeans, tailored jacket and heart-sprinkled t-shirt while en route to work in London Monday. 

So what did you think of our picks this week?  You too can also have the casual and elegant look completed with the right accessories!   To get this look visit ehow.com.

The movie is described as:

Title characters who, 15 years after their narrow fairy tale escape from the gingerbread house, become specialized bounty-hunters looking to take down the witches that almost killed them

Gary Sanchez is set to produce the movie but no word on when it will be released.

Mr. Hottie Jake Gyllenhaal along with Gemma Arterton and Sir Ben Kingsley premiered Prince of Persia:  Sands of Time in Los Angeles last night.

I may have gone a little crazy with the Jake pictures.  And by crazy I mean I included every single one of him because let’s be honest:  he looks smoking hot.  I would bang him like a screen door in a hurricane.  (Ha ha ha I have to thank my friend Steve for that one

The movie opens in theatres May 28.  I’m writing this from the line-up.  I want to be the first to see Jakey shirtless prancing around on screen.
