Anne Hathaway Confesses Trauma with Drastic Haircut

Posted by  on

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway sheds some hair … and tears.

Hathaway surprised her fans, even upset some, when she cut off her long chestnut hair into a rather boyish hairdo for the film adaptation of the Broadway musical, Les Miserables, where she will be playing Fantine, the dying prostitute.

The actress confessed her trauma last Thursday on Live! With Kelly. Anne, 29, admitted:

 I wasn’t expecting it to be a big deal. It was my idea to do it, since it was something the character did … [But then] I realized I couldn’t take it back.

She also said that she broke down to hysteria at the time. She said:

[I was] a mental patient level of crying … I was inconsolable.

The drastic haircutting was a lot harder than “doing back flips out of windows and jumping off buildings,” she added.

Well, Hathaway will probably get her long hair back again when she walks down the aisle. She and her fiancé Adam Shulman, a fellow thespian, are set to get married in October 2013.

Jena Malone is Catching Fire’s Johanna Mason!

Posted by  on

It seems like Catching Fire the movie has finally found its very own Johanna Mason!

Just last Monday, Lionsgate proudly announced that Jena Malone will be the on-screen Johanna Mason, the hardened former Hunger Games victor from District 7. Before closing the deal to be on the second installment of the dystopian thriller based on Suzanne Collins’ bestselling Y.A. trilogy, the 27-year-old actress has appeared in the History Channel’s Hatfields & McCoys, 2007’s Into the Wild, and 2011’s Sucker Punch.

Joining Malone as a new cast member is Philip Seymour Hoffman, who will be playing the role of Plutarch Heavensbee, the gamemaker or the brain behind the very deadly 75th Hunger Games.

The only thing missing on the list is the on-screen Finnick Odair, the dashingly handsome victor from District 4. Sam Clafin, who starred in the recent Snow White and the Huntsman with controversial Kristen Stewart, is the frontrunner for the much coveted role, but no official deal has been made yet as of now.

Let the 75th annual Hunger Games begin!

Kate Beckinsale Feels More Beautiful at 38

Posted by  on

Mostly, 38-year-old Kate Beckinsale is secured about where she is in her life and with the inevitable aging process in general. However, she reveals in a recent magazine interview that the only thing that makes her feel truly old is her teenage daughter Lily, 13.

I haven’t been embarrassing [to somebody] before. I can’t dance at a party where there are teenagers without [them] clearing the dance floor.

She jokes:

 Those are the things that make me go, ‘F—, I’m old’ . . . you’re a parent [and] everyone leaves.

Well aside from that, Beckinsale says she’s absolutely fine with getting older. She muses:

What is it about a woman being in her late 30s that brings out the ‘Oh my gosh, are you worried?’ questions? Worried? What about? 38, 39, 40, 50! Great! Still alive!

She also adds that it’s not like she has “experienced a full facial collapse.” Gladly saying that the recent years have been quite kind to her and her body, she shares:

I haven’t suddenly gained 20 pounds that won’t go away, or [grown] a beard. That probably will happen, but it hasn’t yet.

If anything, getting older has made Kate feel a lot more and not less beautiful. She reveals:

Feeling attractive didn’t come until I was 29 and with Len [Wiseman, her husband of nearly eight years]. At that time it was partly perceived as if I’d gone all Hollywood, but it wasn’t like that at all. It was just okay for me to walk around and feel feminine and attractive. I like feeling liberated like this.

Oh, if only all women were like you, Kate.

Natalie Portman Takes Baby Aleph for a Stroll in LA

Posted by  on

Aleph Millepied might be an offspring of an award-winning actress and an acclaimed ballet dancer, but neither of the two seems to be what this child might be.

The cute little 13-month-old celeb baby got himself a mommy’s day out with Mommy Natalie Portman last Wednesday in Los Angeles. It seemed like both baby and mom were super serious, but Aleph’s pajamas grabbed the spotlight.

The red-headed tot sported a black-and-white PJ’s covered with guitars all over and paired it with some bright red socks.

Natalie and fiancé Benjamin Millepied met while filming Black Swan and announced their engagement on December of 2010, alongside the news of Portman’s pregnancy.

With what baby Aleph sported on Wednesday, we sure have a pretty good idea of what he’ll be wearing to the wedding.

Halle Berry Back to Work After Head Injury

Posted by  on

Halle Berry is surely not letting any injury get in her way.

The Academy Award winning-actress, now 45, was hospitalized in Los Angeles Tuesday last week after suffering a “a minor head injury while shooting a fight sequence on the set of her film, The Hive,” her rep says.

The rep adds:

She was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but she checked out healthy and was released.

Berry was spotted back on the film’s set in a seemingly good mood two days after. She was even photographed chasing after her cute 4-year-old baby girl, Nahla, in between takes. Nahla is Berry’s baby with ex-bf Gabriel Aubry, 35. Though she has already divorced twice, the actress is currently engaged to French actor Olivier Martinez, 46. A source tells:

She trusts Olivier. He makes her feel safe. He’s a keeper!
