"They're creeping everyone out" reveal

http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/22194/oney-Mara-behind-the-scenes-of-The-Girl-With-The-Dragon-Tattoo

I could never be a publicist or a personal assistant for a celebrity. It’s not the hard work I’m afraid of; it’s the adult babysitting. They are SO fragile and insecure and narcissistic, it’s an exhausting experience. And, frankly, it can be really, really sad.

I’ve been really hard on Rooney Mara the last couple of weeks for the “aloof”-ing and the SVU trashing. As previously noted, people who are aloof don’t generally point out their own aloofness. People who really, really want to be aloof will try to convince you that they are. In her case, it’s self preoccupation - standard behaviour for an actor - and also, as expected, terrible insecurity.

An article has been published in the Swedish press featuring interviews with some of the local extras and crew who worked on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I love Google Translate.

Donald Josephson has a scene with Mara in the film. Here’s his account of his experience:

I have two lines in the film. Lisbeth Salander comes to the computer store that I work in and I said: "Unfortunately, this computer is completely broken. I hope you have a backup. "

I biked to the set. When I arrived expecting a self-trailers, buffets and assistants.

The scene was a real computer shop on Götgatan, which was redesigned and thoroughly equipped with Apple logos.

The most fun was to keep up with Rooney Mara in "The Green Room", the room where the actors wait between shots. To be part of there and hear her anxiety over whether she would be better than Naomi Rapace. She had lots of those "Mirror mirror on the wall" moments in there. Mara asked all the time her assistant, "Did we not do better when we did this scene? Don’t I look better than her? Am I not better? Am I not young? Am I not cool? "And the assistant just replied:" Yes, yes, yes! You are the best, you're the best! "

This ...is pretty much standard procedure. It’s a f-cked up life, the acting business. The promises almost never materialise. They’re repeatedly rejected, and when they aren’t rejected, they are constantly afraid they will be. And so the people around them, they keep telling them what they want to hear. And when they hear it, they either start to believe it, or try to believe it but doubt it, and spend the rest of the time searching for a truth that feels authentic... which, sometimes, eludes them forever. Because in Hollywood, well, does the truth even exist?

Michelle Williams delivers an extraordinary representation of this in My Week With Marilyn. Marilyn’s issues were exacerbated by drug dependency and all that other sh-t she was carrying around with her from when she was a child. But her lack of self worth was not unique. It manifests itself in different ways for different people. For Rooney Mara, there’s the fake aloof-ery and bravado. And of course, you can imagine, under those circumstances, what David Fincher must represent: Creator and God. Everything.

I will be seeing Dragon Tattoo Girl this weekend. All of my colleagues say she’s incredibly compelling. I believe it. Oh but the cost...

http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Celebrity/20042/Details/22542/Rachel-McAdams-on-Michael-Sheen-and-Channing-Tatum%E2%80%99s-penis

Rachel McAdams was in New York this morning promoting The Vow. She was also on the cover of The Sunday Telegraph’s Stella this weekend in the UK. I really wish they chose a better cover shot. During the interview she talks about shooting the scene in The Vow where her character sees Channing Tatum’s character heading to the bathroom not wearing any clothing. It’s supposed to be awkward because she’s lost her memory and doesn’t see him as her husband anymore. Apparently during filming, Channing and the director fashioned a massive prosthetic for him to wear to surprise her in the shot. Tatum still teases her about it. During the junket, he walked in on her room and asked her, “Are you talking about my body?” (Why am I finding him more and more ...likeable?)

As for Rachel’s real life boyfriend, she tells Stella that she and Michael Sheen did not start dating until after wrapping on Midnight In Paris, that they were friends first and then more later. She also reveals that they try not to spend more than 3 weeks apart and that the travel can be challenging; as such she is trying to remember to take things “slowly”, enjoy it without too much pressure. How’s this for pressure? I love them together. I want them to be for reals for ever.

But did you know she turned down The Devil Wears Prada? This is the sh-t Duana and I talk about all the time re: Rachel McAdams. Though she claims that she needed the time off, really, you have to wonder about the management team. The Vow might do very big business from the same people who see Katherine Heigl movies. But does it make Rachel’s career any more diverse?

She’s pregnant. It’s still early but she’ll start to show soon. And she’s happy, they’re both happy, but also really, really freaking out. Because around the time of conception, they were both using rather frequently. It’s just what they do together. Besides, she thought she was past the point of another child. So it was a surprise, to say the least. A pleasant one, yes, but she’s not sure if it’s one she wants to keep. She is convinced the child will not be right. She is convinced, in her mind, in her words, that she’ll “be paying for it” for the rest of her life, in the form of care and stress, and that this will be her punishment for such recklessness - to be attached to a kid that will need her, in ways she’s afraid to imagine, forever. She’s also super paranoid that if she does have their baby and the baby has health problems, he’ll turn and blame her, and be disgusted by her, and leave her. Without all his access, it’s a totally different life. And ultimately she still wants to be desired, she prioritises being desired. It’s a decision she is agonising over but she’s running out of time.

The good news? The drugs have stopped completely.

http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Celebrity/20042/Details/22053/Rachel-McAdams-needs-to-pick-up-her-career

I briefly mentioned this the other day in the article about Emma Stone - click here if you missed it. Duana and I have discussed this a few times lately: Emma Stone is what Rachel McAdams was from 2004-2007. The Wall Street Journal had a lengthy piece on how Rachel was the most sought-after, the most talked-about, the most promising actress. And then... it just kinda... fizzled. She’s not Lindsay Lohan or anything. They just... they let the momentum slip away.

Poor choices, or poor management? A combination of both?

It’s so disappointing. Because Rachel McAdams has that rare thing - women love her (don’t you love her?? I love her so much) and she’s not SJP, men are attracted to her, in that way Steve Carell described in Crazy, Stupid, Love: she’s so sexy and cute at the same. Also, she can act.

I don’t know what happened.

Morning Glory was... kind of a mess. And she was terrible in Sherlock Holmes 1. I couldn’t enjoy her either in Midnight In Paris, a film that’s on my Top 5 of 2011. She was the only weak link for me. Rachel? Yes, Rachel. Rachel who is one of my favourites.

This must change.

Will it be better this time for Sherlock 2? Here she is at the premiere last night. She apparently only has a cameo. Will it improve in The Vow? Oh la. I mean I know that a LOT of you will be seeing The Vow and crying, like Sasha, so it’s clear what The Vow will do for you. But what will The Vow do for her?

What will it do for her that The Notebook didn’t? (Gulp) Isn’t it like pressing reset?

Perhaps then the best hope is the Terrence Malick movie she shot earlier this year. The problem with a Malick movie is that he takes forever to put it out. Tree of Life was 5 years. She needs to start closing some other projects. Some interesting projects. Projects that remind everyone why she was the best part of The Family Stone which Duana reminded me of recently. She was GREAT in The Family Stone. God I want her to be great again.

Cash Only

http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/22123/Cash-Only-blind-riddle

SO easy.

Who was paid $15,000 in cash this week in exchange for frolicking around in her bikini on the beach? That’s a lot of cash money for you and me, true. But for them? It’s change. It’s really, really not much. In that world, it’s almost nothing. Consider that Tori Spelling supposedly charges at least 4 times that for a photo op with her kids and you get a sense of how low this piece of sh-t is scraping these days. She used to be able to throw that much away on a night out.

Oh and by the way, it had to be cash. She was super hard up for the cash. What are some of the things one might pay for in cash only?

"Doctor's orders" reveal 3

http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/22048/George-Clooney%E2%80%99s-girlfriend-loves-babies

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler were out for dinner last night in LA. Every pap in the city was there to shoot them. You know what I will always love about him though, no matter how frustrated I am with his girlfriend game?

I love how chill he is in these situations. I love that he doesn’t snarl, he doesn’t hide, he doesn’t whine, he doesn’t protest, he doesn’t threaten...and he remembers to tip the valet!

Straight up, George Clooney is a pro. He understands this is part of the life, this sh-t is what happens in exchange for everything else: Como, the money, the women, the access, the influence. When you choose Hollywood, when you choose the career George has followed, this is what you get. If George Clooney doesn’t cry about it, why are the 20 year old babies on tv shows crying about it??? Please.



As for Stacy, well, more and more it looks like she’s heading to the Oscars. Because HE is heading to the Oscars. Unless she f-cks it up. You know how you f-ck it up with George? You ask for a wedding and some babies. No no, Stacy hasn’t asked for those...yet. But she did post this on her Twitter with the caption:

My two loves...

Could be a nephew or a niece. Could be a friend’s kid. I’m just saying less has scared him away. You know how he is. She’ll have to make up for this baby picture with a nice firm headlock tonight.

Would you still love him if you knew that he stomps around the set, holding up production, when his tea is brought to him at not the right temperature? (more...)

Would you still love him if you found out he delayed filming, and an entire crew, for several hours, because he HAD TO HAVE HIS LUNCH from a place that was off site so they had to drive there to get it and come back, only it was missing an ingredient and he sent it back?

Would you still love him if he refused to report to set after visiting wardrobe and found out someone else had been joking around with his hat and he insisted it wasn't sitting right on his head anymore?

"Three Weeks" reveal 2

http://laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/21970/Anne-Hathaway-and-Adam-Shulman-unofficial-but-totally-official-engagement-pap-photos

Anne Hathaway is engaged to Adam Shulman. One photographer was able to get clean shots of them and, most importantly, the ring in the park the other day in New York. It was a beautiful autumn day. The dog was with them. They were dressed casually but complimentarily, not too matchy matchy but also not clashy either. And, of course, totally oblivious to the fact that they were being photographed, right?

What?

Annie would never set up pap shots, please. Don’t be ridiculous. She also totally doesn’t care if Christian Bale’s heard about it yet. Maybe she told him at work.

So if this is how we’re kicking off this engagement, how might it end when the wedding comes around? Hathaway is favoured among designers. The dress will be a thing. Photographing it will be a thing. A Vogue cover? Perhaps. Valentino or Marchesa?

"Doctor's orders" reveal 2


http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/21955/George-Clooney-spends-Thanksgiving-in-Mexico-with-Stacy-Keibler

Thanksgiving 2009, George Clooney spent it in Mexico with friends Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford. Also his girlfriend at the time, Elisabetta Canalis. Click here to see the photos.

Thanksgiving 2011, there’s a new piece. But everything else stays the same. Even, almost, his outfit. Here’s George Clooney with his injured elbow in Mexico for Thanksgiving weekend with Stacy Keibler, hanging out with some other famous people including Alex Rodriguez who, I’m sure, George wouldn’t mind hosting for as long as he wants to stay.

As for that elbow...

How exactly was that elbow injured? This, perhaps, is what sets Stacy apart from the others. As a former wrestler, she may be able to go farther, more adventurously, if that’s your thing, than her predecessors. Strength wise, I guess, she could certainly take him to a whole new level of danger.

As mentioned in today’s site introduction, the National Board of Review will announce its list this coming Thursday. It was just two years ago, in 2009, when Elisabetta Canalis was presented to us, that Clooney’s last Oscar-hyped film Up In The Air won the NBR award for Best Picture and went on to several Oscar nominations, including one for Clooney, but was shut out of every category.

Some say Clooney has a much better chance this time with The Descendants. The Descendents has received some really impressive universal acclaim. I saw it again this weekend and, I mean, it’s a good movie, no doubt. Well written, well paced, beautiful chemistry, maybe a little obvious at parts, but heartwarming nonetheless. My problem with it however, and I thought maybe it would go away on the second viewing but it didn’t, is that George Clooney, it’s official...

He’s lost me.

I can’t watch a George Clooney movie anymore without seeing George Clooney. In other words, whatever he’s doing up there, I don’t believe him. I don’t believe George more than I don’t believe Brad Pitt. At least in Moneyball, I could go there with Brad Pitt as Billy Beane. This time in The Descendants, I couldn’t separate George Clooney from his character. You could argue that back in the day, in the days of Monroe and Taylor and Gable and the rest, that that was what defined the Movie Star. But back in the day, they went to the movies to see Movie Stars. People don’t go to movies for Movie Stars anymore. The Movie Star might even be dying. I wonder then if George and his increasingly archaic Hollywood playbook, I wonder how he’ll confront this truth as he moves forward with his career past 50 years old. It really might be time to move permanently behind the camera.
