Robert Pattinson and Charlie Hunnam weren't on The Lost City of Z set to make friends.
Et's Ashley Crossan caught up with the actors at the movie's premiere in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday, and Hunnam explained why he rarely spoke to his co-star when the cameras weren't rolling.
"There was something really exciting about the idea of not knowing someone, just letting a relationship exist exclusively on the screen," the 36-year-old actor noted. "So, I had decided that I wanted to do that, but sometimes that can be alienating, and [can] put another actor off of their work and I don't want to be that selfish."

"I'm a nasty woman. I'm not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheetos dust. A man whose words are a dis track to America," she said while pacing across the stage.

Ausiello: I can tell you the episode isn’t flashing back too far. According to Sara Ramirez, the hour revisits a specific window of time after Arizona’s amputation but before their recent split — and offers an “important glimpse into what they were going through at that time that we may not have seen on camera last season.

Wow, I’m not really sure how to take this news right now. Fede Alvarez and his writing partner Rodo Sayagues were the geniuses who rebooted Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead to a pretty positive reception (I personally loved the film), with Fede’s chaotic vision driving this bloody, violent, balls-to-the-wall horror extravaganza. Not only that, but Fede has been teasing all these crazy ideas on where the franchise can go, from doing multiple sequels to having a new world/old world meet-up between Ashley “Ash” Williams and Mia – tying together both Alvarez’s and Raimi’s franchises. We know Fede has other projects going on, but he still seemed awfully excited to get Evil Dead 2 going – especially with Army Of Darkness 2 being confirmed.
Well, it looks like if any of the above teasers are going to happen, they’re going to happen without Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues.

So who should be splitting fresh rolls and roasted squirrel with Gale next?
Ever since Liam and January Jones were spotted leaving a pre-Oscar party together in February, the gossips have linked these two and are going so far as to blame her for the demise of his engagement.

Good morning, Brewbies.
President Obama has issued an official message to the National Conference on Lgbt Equality, praising them for their history of grassroots political activism and encouraging them to continue to fight the good fight.
The White House also said on Friday that the issue of same-sex military benefits has the president's attention:
The president is absolutely focused on and aware of the need to further implement Dadt [repeal], and to ensure that proper benefits are provided … You know, for more details, I would point you to the Defense Department, but this is an issue the president is aware of and it has his attention.
And speaking of same-sex military spouses, Fort Bragg named lesbian military wife Ashley Broadway as the "spouse of the year." She's now in the running to be the Army's national spouse of the year.

The work of David Redmon and Ashley Sabin first came on my radar when they arrived in Hartford, Ct to promote their eye-opening documentary, Mardi Gras: Made in China, tracing both the production and disposal of Mardi Gras beads. Recently I chatted with Redmon regarding his latest documentary Girl Model, which he co-directed with Sabin and I reviewed at Tiff. Girl Model has screened at festivals internationally including the One World Human Rights International Documentary Festival and you can read our conversation from SXSW below as the film is now in theaters.

People have been buzzing about the possibility, and then the reality, of Top Chef Texas, for months. Now, finally, Bravo has released serious details about the ninth season of the chef competition. The show will premiere November 2nd, at 10 pm, just in time for National Deviled Egg Day. And Zagat Buzz is reporting that Top Chef Texas guest stars will include Charlize Theron, Pee-wee Herman, Cat Cora, John Besh, Tim Love and Patti Labelle, a distinctly motley crew.
But most importantly, Bravo has released all the names and restaurant affiliations of the season's contestants. It's heavy on chefs from New York, La, Chicago and Seattle. There are even two cooks from one pioneering Windy City eatery, Moto. (Funny coincidence or an ingenious casting director strategy to drum up drama? Despite the Texan setting, there are only two chefs from the Lone Star State, and just a handful of contestants from other states in the South.

Hollywood joke:
A writer, a director, and a producer are crawling across the desert without water, dying of thirst. They look up and sticking out of the sand is a nicely chilled bottle of apple juice. Before the writer and director can grab it, the producer is on his feet, unzips his pants and starts peeing into the bottle.
“What’re you doing?” the writer and director cry.
“Fixing it!” says the producer.
So, that attitude in mind, when I tell you John Calley died last Tuesday at age 81, and if the name is unfamiliar and I try to enlighten you by saying he was a producer and – worse – a studio executive, no doubt at least a few of you who regularly patronize this site out of your love for film and filmmakers might shrug and say, “So what?” A dead studio exec? That’s like that other joke, the...

MTV went on the air 30 years ago today at 12:01 a.m. It was a Saturday morning and the previous week, 13 daytime soaps had aired on ABC, CBS and NBC. That's more than double the six we have today. Here's a look at what happened that week on the soaps:
The Doctors: Greta miscarried. Billy (Alec Baldwin) joined forces with Nola (Kim Zimmer) against Mona. Althea's mystery patient called out Althea's name. Natalie played Jack against Jerry for her affections. Matt fumed when Maggie won a research grant. Mona ordered her lawyer, Edmund, to go over Jason's will. Barney planned to trace his family's roots in Ireland.
All My Children: Brandon finally asked Sara for a divorce, but Sara dampened Erica's parade by vowing a long fight. Wally refused Devon in bed. Jesse returned with Carl and agreed to attend summer school. Sybil failed to win Rick's attention away from Betsy.

Actress Lindsay Lohan won't be starring as porn star Linda Lovelace in "Inferno" after all.
The troubled starlet was to make her comeback playing the famous porn star in "Inferno," but director Matthew Wilder told E! Online he could no longer wait for Lohan as she continues her treatment at the Betty Ford clinic.
"We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan," Wilder said. "We are currently in negotiations [with another actress] and working out the legalities of bringing her onboard.

In the show’s jaw dropping season eight finale, Andy choked, front runner Mondo was robbed and Gretchen, the queen of mean took home the top prize, an outcome that even shocked Tim Gunn!
I was still reeling from the departure of underdog Michael Costello last week- watching him fall short was heartbreaking, especially when the queen of mean Gretchen breezed into Fashion Week along with Mondo and Andy, going on and on about how much she deserved it. Rude!
This week’s finale started off with a reunion with all the seasons’ contestants. Gretchen got called out for her bad attitude. “You’re mean,” said April and Ivy rolled her eyes and called Gretchen fake when she started to cry. Meow! But for as drama filled as the season was, the rest of the reunion seemed like a love fest. There was an overwhelming amount of admiration for front-runner...

Ashley Tisdale will get involved in a cat fight on the next episode of "Hellcats". A sneak preview of the October 6 episode of The CW series has been shared, and it takes a look at how Savannah butts head with Alice because of Dan. A scene where Marti defends her cheerleading team is also previewed.
"The Prisoner's Song" has Savannah talking the team into letting Dan direct their bid video against Alice's wishes. When things don't go as planned however, she may have to forfeit her role as captain. Meanwhile, Marti decides to investigate further into Julian's case, and Red tells Derrick he plans to win Vanessa back, which prompts a fight between the two men.
In the meantime, Ashley's co-star in the series Alyson Michalka has revealed that she has already recorded a song with her sister Amanda Michalka, and it will be on the series' opening credit.

We’ve already debated which sexy vampire has the best style off-screen, but what about the ladies they lust after?
Falling for a vampire definitely brings a lot more conflict into a relationship — just look at the characters played by Kristen Stewart, Nina Dobrev, Nikki Reed, Evan Rachel Wood, and Anna Paquin, to name a few! While they somehow manage to look good while struggling with their deep feelings for their dead lovers on-screen, (or when they’re cuddling off-screen with their co-stars), they look just as cool when they’re showing off their everyday get-ups. While each girl definitely has her own sense of style, which leading lady dresses best?
I find it ironic that both K-Stew and Nina dress so similar to their on, (and off!) screen love interests — just like R-Patz, Kristen loves dressing down in flannel and Converse, while Nina looks like a cute hipster in...

Teaming up for a cover shoot, Ashley Tisdale and Aly Michalka are featured in the October 2010 issue of Seventeen magazine.
The two adorable young ladies had quite the enjoyable time goofing around with one another while doing the gig to promote their new TV show "Hellcats".
With an interview accompanying, Tizzie and Aly chatted about topics ranging from cheerleading to seeking the perfect partner.
As for what she looks for in a guy, Ashley dished, "In high school, it was all about popularity, being with the boyfriend and all the girls thinking he's cute. Now, I am more into a guy's personality. I like someone I can have fun with and who can be more laid-back than I am, because it calms me down. At the same time, I want to be with someone who wants to work as much as I do and who respects me like I respect him.

Despite the fact that I watch more CW shows than any 30 year old woman probably should, I suspected that I wasn’t exactly the target audience for the network’s new show, Hellcats. So when it came time to watch the original pilot (which has since been re-cut), I sat down with my teenage cousins to get their opinion. While they weren’t very good at articulating their reasons, they both said they liked it and I was pleasantly surprised that I did as well.
The set up of the show is pretty simple: Marti Perkins, a pre-law student at a university in Memphis recently lost her scholarship (despite the fact that her scatterbrained mother is a university employee. In order to remain in school, Marti puts her amazing gymnastic abilities to good use and tries out for a recently vacated spot on the school’s award-winning cheerleading squad, the Hellcats.

Ashley Greene went brown and Nina Dobrev went black, who had the prettier smoky eye at the MuchMusic Video Awards?
Check out the two totally gorgeous and completely different smoky eyes Ashley Greene and Nina Dobrev rocked at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada on June 20. Twilight beauty, Ashley, went for a pretty palette of warm browns accented by a kohl liner. Vampire Diaries star, Nina, went for a more classic interpretation of the nighttime staple with black and grey shadows with a pop of silvery shimmer. Both of the ladies kept their lips neutral with Ashley opting for a warm, brownish-nude lipstick and Nina for a cool, light pink gloss. I’m going to say that I love Ashley’s look more. I think the brown palette is a fresher, more seasonally appropriate look. What about you? It’s a tough choice since they both look so beautiful but go ahead,...

Which glammed up gal was best dressed in your book last night?
The red carpet at the 12th annual Young Hollywood Awards on May 13 was full of fun frocks — from Twi-pals Ashley Greene (in Antonio Berardi) and Nikki Reed, (who sparkled in a very mini get-up), Nina Dobrev who accessorized her black and white dress with cherry red pumps, Jessica Stroup, (who shimmered in Jenni Kayne), and Cheryl Burke, one of the main themes of the night was black and white. There was also sparkles and sequins galore! Nina, Jessica, Cheryl, and Nikki all added some Simon G sparkle to their looks, accessorizing with everything from rings, earrings, necklaces, and bangles– each gal managed to find the perfect piece to show off their personal style!
While Ashley and Jessica, (my two fave looks of the night) were definitely most style savvy, Nina’s dress fit the starlet’s bubbly personality to a tee!

Starlets in La had another reason celebrate last night with the Young Hollywood Awards. The Eclipse gang was well represented with Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli and Ashley Greene, who had her second evening out in a row following Thursday's big Nylon bash. Ashley posed for photos in a revealing cream dress, while her costar Nikki Reed stuck close by Peter Facinelli's side. Peter's wife Jennie Garth, meanwhile, reconnected with her fellow 90210 actress Jessica Stroup. Nina Dobrev smiled for the cameras during a rare minute away from her Vampire Diaries pal Paul Wesley, as their season finale aired on the CW. The Jonas Brothers also made a cameo at the event to mingle with Rumer Willis and Miley Cyrus's boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. Once action outside wrapped up, everyone headed into the Ebell theater for the main ceremony. Ashley Greene was presented with the Style Icon statue and shared her five minute makeover tips.

After weeks and weeks of auditions, and after weeks and weeks of hearing Randy, Simon, Ellen and Kara talk about how a girl is going to win this year hands down, the "American Idol" ladies finally premiered Tuesday night (February 23). And the verdict? It was a lot like seeing "Slumdog Millionaire" three months into its theatrical run: Everyone you know talked it up, it was nominated for like 55 Oscars and then you pay your $12.50 and you watch the little kid get covered in excrement and you walk out of the theater going, "Really? That was it?"
We've got 12 performances to rip through, so before I go on a rant about how offensive I found Ellen and Simon's "Sexual Harassment Is Acceptable (And Hilarious) If Your Co-Worker Is A Lesbian" sketch, let's get right to the performances.

Having trouble keeping up with the many gay boys cropping up on U.S. daytime soaps these days? We're here to help with our new regular feature Daytime Drive By, where we give you the rundown on Luke, Rafe, Fish and all the rest of the gay gang.
