Beyonce Knowles is “Obsessed”
Beyonce Knowles is “Obsessed”
Hard at work at a Los Angeles studio, Beyonce Knowles was spotted filming a scene for her new movie “Obsessed” on Monday (June 23).
“Obsessed” tells the story of “a successful professional man with a beautiful wife who finds his idyllic life threatened by a temp in his office who reveals herself as a stalker.”
Co-starring alongside the 26-year-old “Irreplaceable” singer are Stand By Me stud Jerry O’Connell and sexy Heroes actress Ali Larter, among others.
Still in the early stages, the Steve Shill directed thriller/drama doesn’t find its way to theaters until its slated February 27, 2009 release date.
Heroes gets the Greatest American Hero
According to an interview with Newsarama, the actor William Katt who is best known from the ’80s television show The Greatest American Hero will be appearing in a guest starring capacity on the NBC show Heroes. He is playing a reporter that is pursuing Ali Larter’s ’Nikki’ character (who, given this information, likely survived the explosion that ended last season).
“I just filmed it last week,” Katt says. “I play a really, really wonderful, seedy, smarmy-mouthed reporter that goes after Ali Larter. It was a lot of fun.”
When comparing Heroes to the superhero show he once starred in, Katt says “It’s more Hitchcockian. It’s a more dark and seedy look at the world of superheroes. It’s offering to television viewers what some of the better comic books do…Tim Kring is just an extraordinary writer. And I think there’s no end to his creativity. He’s kind of mad, in an insane way. And that always makes it interesting. There are a lot of twists yet to come.”
My only question is: will he tell the other heroes where to find the instruction book?
DKNY Draws Ali Larter, Rashida Jones
DKNY Draws Ali Larter, Rashida Jones
Wednesday night, Donna Karan New York hosted a Midtown Manhattan bash to celebrate the release of their new fragrance “DKNY Delicious Night.” And Ali Larter and Rashida Jones were among the Hollywood A-listers glamming it up.
With a glass of champagne in hand, the Heroes hottie gushed about her love of the Big Apple. “I’m so excited to be here in the city. I’m here with my girlfriends, and we’re going to have an amazing night. We’re going to have a great dinner at the Waverly (Inn) and drink champagne until dawn.”
When asked about her ideal NYC adventure, she replied, “The exact one I’m describing. That’s what we do. It’s not about dancing in nightclubs. It’s about having a great bottle of wine and great conversation. It’s a sexy city, and I’m excited to be here.”
Of her favorite activity in which to partake, Rashida Jones (currently working on both the Office and Unhitched) said, “Just walk around and make decisions as I’m walking of what to do. You can’t do that in L.A. People stare at you like you’re crazy. People don’t really walk. You sit on your (bottom) in the car all day long. It’s insane.”
Both Larter and Jones may be sitting on their collective bottom for awhile, along with the rest of those affected by the writer’s strike in the entertainment industry.
Ali told press, “It’s a very precarious time in Los Angeles. We can only shoot for a couple more days. It’s affected everyone, from our writers to our production assistants to craft service. You have to stand up for what you believe in, but the repercussions are — it’s just a difficult time for everyone.”
And Jones, whose new show doesn’t start filming until 2008, said that it’s tragic, even though it hasn’t put her out yet. “It’s affected so many of my friends. It’s only a couple of days in, and it’s a bummer. These people work so hard, and they’re the glue of the industry. They’re the reason the industry ticks, and to not give them the modicum of respect they deserve — it bums me out. I hope everyone comes to their senses.”
Heroes Hotties Glam Up Nextel Cup NASCAR Event
Heroes Hotties Glam Up Nextel Cup NASCAR Event
One of America’s favorite spectator sports is NASCAR, that’s no secret. But when you get a few Hollywood A-listers together with jewelry maker Tiffany & Co., NASCAR becomes a whole new attraction.
Wednesday night, Tiffany’s was the site of a serious racing party. NASCAR was celebrating the end of another record chase for the Nextel Cup.
Heroes stars Ali Larter and Kristen Bell were among those lucky enough to get invited to the party. And they both looked fabulous.
Larter wore a silver figure-flattering dress, along with a matching shawl. Her open-toed shoes and pulled-back hairdo made this classy look a bit more casual.
And Kristen wowed the red carpet photogs with her shimmering red babydoll dress. Her black heels and red toenail polish were just the accessories to complete her ensemble.
