James McAvoy Will Kiss Angelina, Not Bill Clinton
James McAvoy sounds like he has a better job than most, considering part of it involves kissing Angelina Jolie onscreen.
But it’s not all fun and games, the Wanted star tells the TimesOnline.
“It’s the only physical contact we have in the entire film other than when she beats me upwhich she does a lot,” he says of locking lips with Angelina. “Just another day, and the same old shit as usual. ’Oh God, I hope she doesn’t think I’m getting off on this and I hope she doesn’t think I’m trying to…whatever.’ And she’s doing the same. So it’s always weird. Always strange, never nice.”
Gotcha. Still, most people would probably say the gig doesn’t sound too bad. But to be honest, McAvoy sounds down-to-earth, not jaded. He drives an old car, has a small apartment and doesn’t want to sell out.
And, well, he has gas.
He also doesn’t expect to become tabloid fodder like his costar and her man, Brad Pitt.
“They’re two of the most beautiful people in the world. That’s a big thing; it’s not just about being well-known for the films you make. I was told stories by her bodyguard of people running across freeways to take a picture of her!” he tells the paper.
“And that’s never gonna happen with me. Unless I’m kissing Bill Clinton at the time. Which I don’t think I’m gonna do. I hope.”
Nicole Scherzinger - Ugly Duckling?
Nicole Scherzinger - Ugly Duckling?
It’s always fun to see pictures of Hollywood’s beautiful people back when they were young, awkward adolescents. According to Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, she didn’t get noticed by the boys until high school.
She told press recently that she wasn’t comfortable with the way she looked until her music career began, a fact that drooling male fans might find hard to believe.
Nicole said, “I wasn’t very popular. Guys just wouldn’t go out with me. It wasn’t until I got to high school that I began to blossom. Even though I was shy, uncomfortable and lanky, my music brought me out of myself.”
And this hottie is back on the market. The “Don’t Cha” singer dumped her boyfriend Talan Torriero back in August in favor of concentrating on her solo career.
Josh Duhamel and Friends Celebrate 100 Episodes
Josh Duhamel and Friends Celebrate 100 Episodes
He’s e engaged to one of the hottest singers out there, and his show, NBC’s Las Vegas, has just celebrated its 100th episode. Translation: Josh Duhamel is on top of the world.
Josh was joined by Molly Sims and the rest of the Las Vegas cast at the Palms Casino and Resort, where Mayor Goodman presented the Keys to the City to the cast and creator of the show as a congratulatory gesture.
Duhamel looked smokin’ in his t-shirt and jeans combo topped off with a jacket and some seriously cool hair. Meanwhile Miss Sims brought her fashion A-game in a black and silver mini-dress and a pair of sexy knee-high boots.
Las Vegas creator Gary Scott Thomas told press that the key to his show’s success is in the tension between the humor and drama. “We’re really a true dramedy. A lot of shows say they’re dramedies but they aren’t. Because even when the worst thing possible is happening, the other story line will be hysterically funny. The idea from the beginning has been that, much like Las Vegas, no matter what happens, the fun always goes on.”
And Universal Media Studios president Katherine Pope says the show has, “a very tricky tone: sexy and funny and soapy and serious. The goal for the show always was ‘fun’ and ‘wish-fulfillment,’ but I think what Gary has done over the years is reinforce the familial aspect—that these people really do care about each other.”
She continued, “As much as the show is about sexy, beautiful people working in a sexy, beautiful place, it really is more about the fact that they always support each other. And that’s kind of the place where we’d all like to work.”
