SKINS MOVIE
Nicholas Hoult and Dev Patel, aka Tony Stonem & Anwar Kharral of Cycle 1, are IN for the SKINS movie, set to debut in Summer 2011:
DEV PATEL and NICHOLAS HOULT have agreed to star in a movie version of the dark teen drama.
A spin-off film was discussed a year ago but fell through because the lads had other commitments. But now a window has been found and they’ve signed a contract with Cinema NX, Film4 and Company Pictures.
In a recent interview with Kaya Scodelario, the actress who played Effy said, “”People think you’re rebelling, but you’re actually finding out who you are. That’s why Skins was good; it showed what it was. There were a lot of experiences I could relate to.”
ADAM LAMBERT:
Adam Lambert’s GLAM NATION tour kicks off tonight in at the F.M. Kirby Center for Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. vH1 has an entire EMPIRE OF GLAMBERT on their website right now, where Adam will be posting videos from the road, and will be answering your questions on his blog.
OLIVIA MUNN ON THE DAILY SHOW:
“Olivia Munn debuted on The Daily Show last night as its “senior Asian correspondent,” in what’s being called a tryout. The co-host of Attack of the Show will be the second woman currently on the show, and its fifth ever.”
NPR: ALL THINGS DIGITAL;
I fucking love NPR so hard. I’m not even upset that Ira Glass isn’t in this one.
KRISTEN STEWART:
A few weeks ago, Kristen used the word ‘rape” to talk abotu how the paparazzi make her feel. There was backlash and she is upset and “feels compelled to address the situation.”
“‘Violated’ definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought,” she notes. People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake.”
In fact, the issue of violence against women is one that has been close to Stewart since playing a victim of rape in the 2004 film Speak. She has done public service announcements for the advocacy group RAINN and for SOC.
THIS SHIT LOOKS F*CKED UP:
The Real World: New Orleans 2. What is this the post-Katrina version. It looks like True Life: I Live With Crazy People. Even how they edited the promo suggests a whole new direction.
THIS WOMAN WAS AWESOME AND NOW SHE IS DEAD:
“As someone who made no bones about enjoying her life as a gay-friendly, animal-loving, sex-positive, imperfect woman, we can only hope we grow up to be half the Jezebel that Rue McClanahan was.”
THIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME, ONLY IF YOU GET IT THOUGH
Reality Bites: In Which The Girl Never Has to Play Dumb – “I want to stay in a moment when… you could make a raw yet sweet version of the romantic movie, one that’s actually about figuring out what you’re supposed to be doing when you’re an adult and what you’re willing to compromise. That’s utterly realistic and yet charming, and that actually passes the Bechdel test. Where the lead character, a girl, has aspirations and dreams, and also short hair, and says things like “I don’t have a lawyer. I don’t have a dentist. I make $400 a week.” And she’s great.”
