Ben Affleck and Rebecca Hall in The TownThe trailer for the new film The Town, directed by Ben Affleck, is finally here and it looks pretty amazing. Based on the Chuck Hogan novel Prince of Thieves the film centers on a group of a life-long bank robbers from Charlestown, Boston. Their leader, played by Affleck, has been having somewhat of an identity crisis and he puts the nail in the coffin by deciding to pursue a relationship with the woman, played by Rebecca Hall, who they took hostage in their latest robbery. Then in comes gorgeous Jon Hamm as the investigator to save the day and nail Affleck and also try his hand with Hall. Blake Lively plays Affleck's ex-girlfriend who just can't get over him. Lively took this role as an opportunity to show the world that she can act even when she is not wearing couture and she looks hot even when she is dressed like trash. And the amazing Jeremy Renner plays Affleck's best friend and partner in crime. It looks like an exciting, well-acted thriller and it hits theaters in September.

No worries, mate. They took all my guns away, tooI say James Bond because Oksana has a 12-year-old son by Timothy Dalton. People says Oksana has been leaning on him for support during this difficult time. A difficult time she may have only made worse listening to the wrong people.

Mel and Oksana had reportedly already agreed to split and had even worked out a settlement described by mysterious insiders as "superb and mutually beneficial". Oksana even signed a "private contract" guaranteeing Mel that his psycho rants would never become public.

And now all bets are off. Despite the gag orders, first the audio tapes were released, and then an odd picture of Oksana's alleged dental injuries was released. It just looks off, Photoshopped - the mouth is the wrong shape, the colors are off - even the dentist who fixed her veneers said the picture appeared to be doctored.

Which brings me to my final point: There is no doubt here that Mel Gibson is a crazy, racist, abusive drunktard piece of shit, but what about Oksana? This woman is no saint. She pursued a married man, helped trash his marriage, and then got nasty when he decided he wanted out. The injuries to her teeth reportedly look self-inflicted ... and I wonder how much Radar paid her? That's obviously what she's all about.

Katie and Suri on setAnd she is looking more and more the part everyday. Suri was of course on set looking cute as always and actually repeated an outfit for once in her life. The miniseries will appear on the History Channel in 2011 and co-stars Greg Kinnear as JFK and Barry Pepper as Robert Kennedy.

Duuuude ... my head feels so huuuuuge ....No, not really. I don't think PETA gives a rat's ass about Nicolas Cage's adjustable hairline any more than they care about his latest work. Few care about him at all, but that doesn't stop him from saying the weirdest things. Cage is out and about promoting his latest flick, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which has been roundly panned as bland and unexciting. It's been a long time since Cage made a decent film, and apparently this isn't it. Damn, he'll never get that tax debt paid down.

He is good for an odd interview, though. Nic told David Letterman that he once had a cat who loved magic mushrooms, and that one day they tripped out together, and he swears his cat could talk to him. But in a secret voice no one else could hear, right? Before you think I'm just being mean, remember this is the dude who named his son Kal-El (as in Superman), OK? I rest my case.

Chace on setBlake in the rainThe Gossip GirlsBlake on setAnd they will film in rain or shine apparently. The cast was seen parading around in some beautiful outfits despite the showers and steamy Manhattan weather. Blake Lively looked particularly stunning in a dramatic dress but she would look particularly stunning in a garbage bag. Penn Badgley and Jessica Szohr were also seen filming in Queens with a baby carriage. Could it be Dan and Georgina's love child?

Ellen Page at Inception premiereAnd even though she is freakishly small she is still a great actress and even though Inception might make absolutely no sense and be totally impossible it still looks pretty amazing. The question can Juno, Jack from Titanic, the freaky bad guy from Red Eye and my boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt beat out the gloriously wonderful Despicable Me (go see it now for the minions alone!), Eclipse and the surprisingly well-received Predators (seriously Topher Grace as a highly-skilled killer?

Courtney Cox on InStyleCourtney Cox looks cougarlicious on the cover of this month's issue of InStyle. Cougar Town turned out to be a surprising hit despite the misleading name which may be changed anyway. In the magazine she admits to using botox but not to an unhealthy degree and going to couples therapy with husband David Arquette. And she has crushes on Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron. Courtney, she is just like us only way richer and hotter.
On Botox: "Aging gracefully is one thing, but trying to slow it down is another. Sometimes I use Botox. Compared to most, I use it very sparingly. One time I did too much, though. I feel weird if I can't move my face, and that one time I overdid it, I felt trapped in my own skin. I don't have a problem with any of that stuff; if it makes you feel better about yourself and it's done properly, then fine."

The Social NetworkI wasn't expecting much after the pitiful teaser which gave us nothing just a bunch of random words and then a picture made up of facebook pictures but the new trailer makes it actually look a movie. The film may be making the story behind Facebook look just a bit more exciting than it actually was but that is how movies work. And let us not forget that in the end this is a story about nerdy guys at Harvard who started a web site. The film has a bright young cast led by Jesse Eisenberg, Rashida Jones, Brenda Song, Justin Timberlake and Max Minghella to name a few.

Yeah, I'd hit that. Hell, I'd SPLIT thatSee? I just knew Uncle Jesse wasn't that kind of guy. All you haters can go pick on a real sex offender, like Jeffrey Epstein. John Stamos may have made the mistake of befriending a much younger girl after a painful separation, but it never went anywhere. Until, that is, the young girl hooked up with an enterprising young entrepreneurial type who saw easy money.

Today the two nimrods from Michigan who tried to extort $680,000 out of Stamos were convicted of conspiracy and "using email to threaten a person's reputation". That's the oddest way to say "blackmail" I've ever heard, but whatever. This couple first contacted John to say that the girl was pregnant. When that didn't stir Stamos to action they upped the ante, saying they had pictures of him snorting coke and making sexy times with the girl and were going to sell them to the tabloids. Prosecutors were unable to prove the existence of any pictures, but the threat was made, and the judge wasted no time in convicting them.

Maybe now that he's able to put all this mess behind him John can finally find that wife he's looking for. He really does seem like a nice guy, and he's certainly not hard on the eyes. I'm not sure about that bellybutton, though.

Rebecca and Jon on WJon Hamm and Rebecca Hall, co-stars in the the upcoming film The Town, grace the cover of the giant magazine W. Jon reminds us just how ridiculously amazing looking he is as well as funny and nice. Rebecca looks lovely as well but frankly it is hard to outshine Mr. Don Draper. The film is based on the Chuck Hogan novel Prince of Thieves and was directed by Ben Affleck. It is slated to come out in early September. And don't forget that Mad Men finally returns on July 25!! Here is what Rebecca and Jon told the magazine:

Jon on The Town: “It’s an adult movie. Those are in short supply. I hope that there’s still an audience for that kind of film, where you can go and see adults behaving like adults.”
Jon on what’s sexy: “To be able to read and talk about complicated things is sexy. It’s not just having a pair of bolt-on-tits.”
Rebecca in response to stories implying she had to do with the breakup of Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet’s marriage: “No.” Hamm: “The reality is I broke them up.” Hall: “Jon Hamm was sleeping with Sam Mendes.” W: “Wow. Does a sex tape exist?” Hamm: “Does it? He directed it. It’s beautiful.”
Jon on being a ‘man’s man’ or a ‘ladies man’: “I was raised by a single mother. I think the definition of a man’s man has shifted in recent times to this sort of fratty bro, different from the older version which was aloof and different—Gary Cooper or Cary Grant or James Bond. Now it’s a little vulgar, kind of a lowbrow, adolescent. I’m not that guy. Part of being an adult is treating women like women.”

But he's got a weird bellybuttonAt least, I don't think so. I mean, she is like a fictional character and everything, right? Still. We're talking John Stamos, who has been a hottie forever, but most especially and most memorably (at least for me) as Uncle Jesse on Full House. Uncle Jesse would never do the things John Stamos is being accused of, but like Kimmy he's hopelessly irrelevant. Because he ain't real.

But the charges against two ambitious nitwits in Florida are very real, federal offenses, even. This lamebrained couple tried to extort $680,000 from John by claiming to have pictures of him blowing rails and cavorting with a 17-year-old girl. Prosecutors say the pictures don't exist, but the lamebrains still insist he did coke with and supplied alcohol to this girl, and that they continued a "flirty" relationship for some time. The accusations are rather graphic (she says he became violent when she refused to let him orally gratify her), but that doesn't make them real. Or does it?

This alleged encounter supposedly happened in 2004. So why didn't she report it, tell her parents, something? Why wait all this time to cash in? Oh, I dunno. Ask Rachel Uchitel or the Nazi tattoo chick that was banging Jesse James. They'll tell you they told their story because they felt bad about what they did, but they're full of shit. And maybe this girl is, too. The prosecutor in the case sure thinks so, and I tend to agree.

Jessica in Piranha 3-DYup. They have decided to make another movie about a killer fish eating people on their summer vacation. This seems to be the biggest problem for people in movies who like to go swimming in the summer. Anyway the trailer makes it looks like it is all boobs and gore but the cast is relatively stellar. Well more obscure than stellar. Elisabeth Shue decided to return to acting and selected this film as her big comeback. Party Down's Adam Scott (and one of my new boyfriends), Christopher Lloyd, Eli Roth (Inglorious Bastards), Jerry O'Connell, Jessica Szohr and in what I am guessing as a tribute to Jaws, a cameo from Richard Dreyfuss. Anyway, it could be fun and there haven't been any great creature films in a while. The film is actually a remake of a 1978 film with the same title except this one is in 3D!!!

There must be a better wayOh, no, she didn't! Well, probably not, but she must have a movie coming out soon, because the Huvane-ity (publicist-driven rumor campaign) is cranking up again, and this time no one is safe. Not even happily married men she's been friends with for years.

In the last week alone the Great American Spinster has been linked to at least three men, each candidate more ridiculous than the last. It's like, "Aww, gimme a break, for cryin' out loud!" Everyone knows she has to pay for her dates/red carpet escorts. And she must pay very well, because they always drop out of sight for a half a year or so. They're either emotionally traumatized or they can suddenly afford an extended vacation.

But I dunno about her falling for a married guy, especially someone who's been a friend for as long as Paul Rudd, the alleged object of her "secret love". I'm not terribly fond of the manly actress, but I think she's got more sense than that. Huvane will have to do better that that if he expects to make his client a box office draw using imaginary boyfriends as opposed to her acting ability. Apparently both are nonexistent.

I've lost my puppy! Will you help me find it?So what was that all about? Sweden finally helped the US catch Roman Polanski, a fugitive from American justice for over 30 years. They agree to keep him under house arrest in a luxurious chalet for months on end ... even allowing his family to stay there with him ... and then just let him go? Shit, somebody got paid.

Not that anybody's admitting to anything, of course. The Swiss judge presiding over the extradition case blamed the US, saying that because California prosecutors refused to share confidential sentencing information that she had no choice but to let him go. I'm sure that will be of great comfort to all the parents of vulnerable, impressionable little girls. Polanski's camp has done a good job of toning down the crimes he was accused of, making it sound like he was as much a victim as the 13-year-old girl he drugged, raped and sodomized, but the facts speak for themselves. He's a rapist and child molester, and I'm sure that wasn't the only time he did something like that.

Nevertheless, Polanski is now a free man, free to run back to France, where people apparently aren't concerned about a sexual offender living in their midst. He'll probably be having dinner with the Sarkozy's before the week's out. Pedophile piece of shit.

Blake and Leighton filmingGossip Girl finished filming its scenes in France at the end of the week but not before showing off some serious designer duds. Leighton wore some stunning dresses and Blake wore some underwear that she tried to convince us were black shorts but it doesn't matter because she is like the hottest person ever. Both girls also attended the Chanel Haute Couture show and Blake's Chanel dress with her wavy hair was just beautiful. Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford were seen filming in New York today and over the weekend Taylor Momsen was seen wearing plastic hooker shoes.

If I keep buying him things he'll stay ...I wouldn't put it past him. He strikes me as supremely self-absorbed, and things aren't going the way he thought they would. They're not going the way Leann thought they would, either.

It happens all the time. In the rare case where a cheating husband actually does leave his wife for his mistress, things seem to change - suddenly that good time girl isn't so much fun; she actually starts sounding like a ... wife. Takes all the fun out of it for some.

According to Star (via Celebitchy), Eddie's ardor for Leann has cooled recently, especially since he got canned from CSI. With her divorce final, Leann's ready to settle down and start birthin' babies, but Eddie's still smarting over the bad press their careless fling created. She's reportedly giving him until the end of the year "to come around"; I think she'll be replaced long before then.

GleeAnd the committee finally starts to recognize the talented people on other shows like Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler on Friday Night Lights who have been passed over year after year. The fact that Glee and Modern Family were recognized isn't surprising but the number of nominations is more than I expected. Every adult cast member of MF was recognized except for Ed O'Neill but the show was also nominated for best comedy series. Glee also picked up a few acting nominations besides being nominated for best comedy including Lea Michele for best actress, Matthew Morrison for best actor and Chris Colfer for best supporting actor. Some Glee guest stars were also recognized including double nominee Neil Patrick Harris (also nominated for HIMYM) and Kristin Chenoweth. Freshmen series The Good Wife was also heavily recognized with nominations for best actress, best drama series and two best supporting actress nods including Christine Baranski who is also up for her recurring role on The Big Bang Theory. The amazing Jim Parsons was nominated for his role as Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory but unfortunately the show was not recognized for best comedy. And in a bittersweet nod Matthew Fox finally got nominated for his work on Lost. The usual suspects also made it on the list with a bunch of nods for Mad Men, 30 Rock and Damages. Check out the full list below!

GP on VogueGwyneth Paltrow covers the latest issue of Vogue and looks stunning. The article essentially promotes her new cook book, "My Father's Daughter". The Academy Award-winner told the magazine:

I always feel closest to my father, who was the love of my life until his death in 2002, when I am in the kitchen,' she wrote.
'I can still hear him over my shoulder, heckling me, telling me to be careful with my knife, moaning with pleasure over a bite of something in only the way a Jew from Long Island can, his shoulders doing most of the talking.'
'The most striking aspect about his cooking was how much joy he derived from feeding people that he loved.'
'I mean, genuine, bursting happiness... This book is meant to channel the ethos of my father by sharing the greatest gifts that he imparted to me.'
'Invest in what's real. Clean as you go. Drink while you cook. Make it fun. It doesn't have to be complicated. It will be what it will be.'

At least she isn't telling us to go eat a whole bunch of macro-biotic junk.Gwyneth Paltrow

I hope you get raped by a pack of ...She says she has pictures of the injuries she suffered at the hands of her child's father, injuries said to be inflicted while she was holding their eight-month-old daughter, Lucia. Gotta give the girl props: At least she didn't drop the kid. Seriously, I'll give Oksana props for recording the violence. She says she was in fear for her life, and if what she says really happened the way it did, she should be.

And now, surprisingly enough, the Los Angelos Sheriff's Department is investigating the events of the date in question as a domestic violence incident. I say surprisingly because this is LA, where being famous is usually its own special get out of jail card. Mel wasn't so nice to the cops during their last run-in, however, and cops are like elephants - they never forget when you f**k with them.

If this is an actual, professional police investigation, those pictures of Oksana with black eyes and loose/missing teeth, and the audio recordings of his psycho racist rants would be considered evidence and have to be turned over to the court. This would probably also violate the gag order, or at least jam up whoever leaked them, whether that be Oksana, Lucia or anyone else. One thing's for sure - it may be a long, long time before Mad Mel works again.

"Hate you." "Hate you more."Wow. He really is a crazy piece of shit, isn't he? I guess he was on his best behavior the night of his DUI in Malibu. That was nothing compared to what Oksana allegedly captured on tape. If this is the real Mel Gibson ... wow. Just wow.

Radar Online has the scoop on Mel's psycho rants, reportedly recorded by Oksana because she feared for her life. And rightfully so. In one, Mel tells her, "You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault." He also said that he'd burn her house down, but that she would blow him first. Nice f**king guy. How did Robyn put up with this for some 30-odd years? He wasn't a happily married father of seven who just woke up one day drunk and nasty; he's been like that for years.
