Elle Magazine Celebrates “Women in Hollywood”
Elle Magazine Celebrates “Women in Hollywood”
If you’re the proud owner of two “X” chromosomes, you’ll be happy to know that Elle Magazine was, once again, paying tribute to the fairer sex with their annual “Women in Hollywood” celebration last night.
And it was a who’s who of leading ladies, along with a legendary director. Those women being honored were director Julie Taymor (”Across the Universe”), and actors Lauren Bacall, Diane Lane (”Unfaithful”), Kate Bosworth (”Superman Returns”), Jennifer Connelly (”A Beautiful Mind”), Amy Adams (”Junebug”) and Scarlett Johansson (”Lost in Translation”).
The eldest honoree at 82-years-old, Lauren Bacall, told press, “It’s great that the focus is on women, who are functioning, who are all working, who are productive. I’ve always been in favor of that, and I’ve always known that women are capable of going as high as they want to go.”
And Diane Lane commented on the opportunities for women in the industry these days. “There’s a lot more opportunity for young women, and that’s great, and I like to think that I was there to help pave a few stones. It’s wonderful to have all the different stages of a woman’s life acknowledged and appreciated.”

Deadwood’s Molly Parker Has a Boy
Deadwood actress Molly Parker and her husband, Matt Bissonnette, have welcomed their first child, son William Strummer Bissonnette, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
William, who was born last Friday in Los Angeles, weighed in at 8 lbs. and 12 oz.
“Both mother and son are doing well,” Parker’s publicist tells PEOPLE.
Parker, 34, plays Deadwood’s Alma Garret, a New York society woman who reinvents herself in a 19th-century South Dakota town. Recently she co-starred with Ben Affleck and Diane Lane in Hollywoodland.
Up next for the actress: her husband directs her in the upcoming drama, Who Loves the Sun.
Really Bad Posters For Really Bad Movies: Untraceable
I haven’t seen Untraceable, but I have seen the trailer, and I feel like I’ve seen probably two minutes too much for this film. Yes, I am prejudging this flick, but at least I’m disclosing this fact upfront.
IMPA has two new posters for the Diane Lane/Colin Hanks FBI Hacking Thriller. You got to love it when the theatrical advertising is just as bad as the movie, and this seems to be a prime example. To think that Frequency director Gregory Hoblit has resorted to such a film disappoints me greatly. Thankfully, I’ll be at Sundance when this film comes out (not that Screen Gems will likely screen this “gem” for press). Check out the movie posters.
Official Plot Synopsis:
Within the FBI, there exists a division dedicated to investigating and prosecuting criminals on the internet. Welcome to the front lines of the war on cybercrime, where Special Agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) has seen it all……until now. A tech-savvy internet predator is displaying his graphic murders on his own website – and the fate of each of his tormented captives is left in the hands of the public: the more hits his site gets, the faster his victims die. When this game of cat and mouse becomes personal, Marsh and her team must race against the clock to track down this technical mastermind who is virtually untraceable.
Untraceable hits theaters on January 25th 2008.
