Bradley Cooper suits up for the cover of Esquire’s Summer Issue, on newsstands May 30.

Here’s what the 36-year-old Hangover star had to share with the mag:

On his other movie, Limitless: “Since [it] opened, my agent calls me every morning and asks, ‘Do you fell any different?’ And I’m like, ‘Nope. Do you feel any different?’”

On his mother, whom he brought to live with him in L.A. after his dad passed away: “I love having her. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Bradley also recalled coming across Leonardo DiCaprio when he used to work as a doorman in his twenties!

Bradley, who covered the graveyard shift at the Morgans Hotel in NYC, shared that he ferried Leo up to his room one evening and remembered thinking they were “worlds apart” - Titanic had just come out, while Bradley was enrolled at the Actors Studio.

Ryan Reynolds Covers 'Details' June 2011

Ryan Reynolds covers Details magazine’s June/July 2011 issue.

Here’s what the 34-year-old Green Lantern star had to share:

On not settling on one genre of films: “I’m not declaring nothing, man! I’m getting away with something I’d like to continue getting away with.”

Joking about his dark side: “You want to see what I’m like when we turn the tape recorder off? I slit throats, that’s what I do. I only drink panda tears. Do not bring me water. Do not bring me filtered water. I want the tears of a newborn panda, and I will have them—because I’m Ryan Reynolds!”

On not sharing details of his divorce: “I’ll say this: the media was not invited to my marriage, and they’re definitely not invited into the divorce.”

FYI: Ryan is wearing a Tom Ford shirt and Gucci pants on the cover.

Robert De Niro To Star Alongside 50 Cent Again In Freelancers 40 Actresses 40 and Over Killin' It on the Big Screen

Robert De Niro To Star Alongside 50 Cent Again In Freelancers
published: 2011-03-25 23:41:50 Author: Eric Eisenberg
Two days back I posted the trailer for the film Setup and had a pretty simple reaction: who the hell keeps hiring Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson to act in movies? But I should have gone deeper. Setup also happens to star both Bruce Willis and Ryan Phillippe, two still largely respectable actors who really deserve more than being co-stars in a 50 Cent pic. Why do I bring this up? Because Robert De Niro, one of the greatest actors of all time, has just signed up for his second 50 Cent movie.

Deadline reports that the actor once known for films like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, will star in Freelancers, the first film since Righteous Kill that will see him performing alongside G-Unit's most famous member. Even worse, Forest Whitaker is also in talks to join the cast. Directed by Jessy Terrero, 50 Cent plays a young man who signs up for the NYPD after his father, a former cop, was shot and killed. After graduating, he begins working with his father's former partner (De Niro) and becomes part of a rogue task force.

I've been holding out hope that De Niro's reunion with Scorsese on The Irishman could possibly save his career, but I seriously think that it's just too late. What a shame.

Posted Mar 25th 2011 7:36PM
All those in Hollywood who say there are no great roles for women over the age of 40 need to take a look at the work being done, and still coming from, the fantastic, award-winning actresses on our list. And if it's true that there aren't enough great roles to continue keeping these stars employed, the only solution is to write more, because these leading ladies' talents demand them.

Jennifer Aniston
Age: 42
Why she's hot: She seems to take in stride the world's insistence on making her the poster girl for unmarried-and-40-years-old women everywhere, all the while continuing to choose interesting flicks with unexpected co-stars like Adam Sandler and Brooklyn Decker.
Up next: She stars in 'Horrible Bosses,' a comedy co-written by 'Bones' star John Francis Daley and starring a line-up of some of the funniest guys in Hollywood, including Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudekis, as well as Jamie Foxx, Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey.

Angela Bassett
Age: 52

Sandra Bullock
Age: 46
Why she's hot: Her surprise Oscar win for 'Blind Side' came the day after her Razzie "win" for 'All About Steve,' and was followed by her very public breakup with cheating husband Jesse James. But she endeared herself to celeb watchers with her graceful handling of the scandal and her return to work ...
Up next: ... which includes 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,' a 9/11-themed drama based on Jonathan Safran Foer's novel and co-starring Tom Hanks, John Goodman and James Gandolfini, and 'Gravity,' a sci-fi thriller with George Clooney.

Glenn Close
Age: 64

Up next: 'Damages' returns for a fourth season this summer (on DirecTV), and on the big screen, Close co-wrote, produced and stars in 'Albert Nobbs,' about a 19th century Englishwoman who pretends to be a man so she can support herself as a butler

Jennifer Connelly: Baby Bump at 'Dilemma' Premiere!

Jennifer Connelly shows off her growing belly in Lanvin at the world premiere of her new film, The Dilemma, on Thursday (January 6) at Chicago’s AMC River East Theater.

The 40-year-old actress is expecting a baby with husband Paul Bettany. The two have a 7-year-old son Stellan, and Jennifer also has a 13-year-old son, Kai, from a previous relationship.

“I’m feeling great - now,” she recently said on The Late Show with David Letterman.

“The first three months were very sketchy. You know like you have your cell phone and you have to stand in one spot … it was like that with nausea,” she shared.

“I had to stand in one spot, which happened to be in front of my refrigerator,” she added, “which was open with me dipping pretzels in cream cheese and stuffing them in my mouth.”

FYI: Jennifer finished her look with a Fred Leighton pearl necklace.

5 Movie Clips from THE DILEMMA Barbra Streisand in Talks to Star in GYPSY Remake ***Robert Pattinson Joins David Cronenberg’s COSMOPOLIS

5 Movie Clips from THE DILEMMA

by Brendan Bettinger Posted: January 5th, 2011

Universal has released 5 movie clips from The Dilemma, a comedy from director Ron Howard which stars Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Jennifer Connelly, Winona Ryder, Channing Tatum, and Queen Latifah. Vaughn plays a man who is distraught when he catches the wife (Ryder) of his best friend (James) cheating.

I didn’t love the trailer, but the cast is undeniably impressive. The bromance between Vaughn and James plays well in this footage, which bodes well for the film. Watch the clips after the jump.

The Dilemma opens on January 14th. Here’s the official synopsis:

Vince Vaughn and Kevin James headline an all-star comedy from director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer about a man who finds out that what you don’t say to a friend is just as important as what you do. Jennifer Connelly, Winona Ryder, Channing Tatum and Queen Latifah join them in The Dilemma, a story of how far you can bend a brotherly bond before it snaps. Since college, confirmed bachelor Ronny (Vaughn) and happily married Nick (James) have been through thick and thin. Now partners in an auto design firm, the two pals are vying to land a dream project that would launch their company. With Ronny’s girlfriend, Beth (Connelly), and Nick’s wife, Geneva (Ryder), by their sides, they’re unbeatable.
But Ronny’s world is turned upside down when he inadvertently sees Geneva out with another man and makes it his mission to get answers. As the amateur investigation dissolves his world into comic mayhem, he learns that Nick has a few secrets of his own. Now, with the clock ticking and pressure mounting on the biggest presentation of their careers, Ronny must decide how and when he will reveal the truth to his best friend.

Barbra Streisand in Talks to Star in GYPSY Remake

by Jason Barr Posted: January 5th, 2011

Here’s a little news for all the diehard Barbra Streisand fans who also happen to frequent Collider (I know you’re out there…somewhere…): the two-time Oscar-winner/eight-time Grammy-winner is in early negotiations with Warner Bros. to star in a remake of the 1962 film adaptation of the Broadway play Gypsy. While the project is currently without a writer and/or director, Streisand would star as Rose (the role turned by Rosalind Russell in the 1962 adaptation) if a deal is indeed struck.

For those unfamiliar with Gypsy (much like myself only one half-hour ago), both the play and the first film are based on the memoir of burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee. Per THR, each iteration focuses on Lee’s relationship with her mother, Rose (Streisand), who has “since become the prototype of a ’stage mom’ in pop culture.”

Robert Pattinson Joins David Cronenberg’s COSMOPOLIS

by Jason Barr Posted: January 5th, 2011

In what must be considered a big step in his up-hill struggle to gain credibility outside of Twilight circles, Robert Pattinson has joined David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis. Based on the Don Delillo novel of the same name, Cosmopolis has been adapted by Cronenberg and will follow a newlywed billionaire (Pattinson) over a 24 hour span in which he cheats on his wife, gets stalked, gets assaulted, and loses his fortune. Hopefully, at some point, he also catches a nap because that is one action-packed day.

In addition to Pattinson, Cosmopolis will also star Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard as Pattinson’s wife and Oscar-nominee Paul Giamatti as one of Pattinson’s two stalkers. Per THR, Pattinson is filling the role abandoned by Colin Farrell so that the latter can shoot the Total Recall remake that is scheduled to begin filming in mid-May (around the same time as Cosmopolis). For more on the project, hit the jump to check out a plot summary for Delillo’s novel.

Here’s a plot summary for Delillo’s Cosmopolis [per Wikipedia]:

Cosmopolis is the story of Eric Packer, a 28 year old multi-billionaire asset manager who makes an odyssey across midtown Manhattan in order to get a haircut. The stretch limo which adorns the cover of the book is richly described as highly technical and very luxurious, filled with television screens and computer monitors, bulletproofed and floored with Carrara marble. It is also cork lined to eliminate (though unsuccessfully, Packer notes) the intrusion of street noise.
Like James Joyce’s Ulysses, Cosmopolis covers roughly one day of time and includes highly sexed women and the theme of father-son separation. Packer’s voyage is obstructed by various traffic jams caused by a presidential visit to the city, a funeral procession for a Sufi rap star and a full-fledged riot. Along the way, the hero has several chance meetings with his wife, seeing her in a taxi, a bookstore, and lying naked in the street, taking part in a movie as an extra. Meanwhile, Packer is stalked by two men, a comical “pastry assassin” and an unstable “credible threat”.
Through the course of the day, the protagonist loses incredible amounts of money for his clients by betting against the rise of the yen, a loss that parallels his own fall. Packer seems to relish being unburdened by the loss of so much money, even stopping to make sure he loses his wife’s fortune as well, to ensure his ruin is inevitable.

First Image of Glenn Close in ALBERT NOBBS Sundance 2011: First Images from WIN WIN Starring Paul Giamatti and SALVATION BOULEVARD Starring Pierce Brosnan

First Image of Glenn Close in ALBERT NOBBS

by Jason Barr Posted: December 15th, 2010

The first image of Glenn Close on the Dublin set of Albert Nobbs has landed online. In the film, Close plays an English woman who disguises herself as a male (pretty convincingly, I might add) so as to land a job as a butler in 19th century Ireland. In addition to starring, Close is also credited as a producer and co-writer. Joining the five-time Academy Award nominee in the film are Michael Gambon (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I), Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Showtime’s The Tudors), Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass), and Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland). Rodrigo García directs (HBO’s In Treatment).

Hit the jump to check out the image as well as an official synopsis. Albert Nobbs is based on the short story by George Moore and is currently looking at a 2011 release.

Click to enlarge the image [from Daily Mail]:

Here’s the official synopsis:

19th century Ireland: a woman with no husband or family and without work would face a bleak life of poverty and loneliness. Albert, a shy butler who keeps himself to himself, has been hiding a deep secret for years – ‘he’ is a woman who has had to dress and behave as a man all her life in order to escape this fate. When handsome painter Hubert Page arrives at the hotel, Albert is inspired to try and escape the false life she has created for herself. She gathers her nerves to court beautiful, saucy young maid Helen in whom she thinks she’s found a soul-mate – but Helen’s eye is on a new arrival: handsome, bad-boy Joe, the new handy-man! As Albert dares to hope that she might one day live a normal life, we catch a glimpse of a free-spirited woman who is caught in the wrong time… This humorous but ultimately poignant ensemble story about life ‘below-stairs’ is nothing less than Gosford Park meets Boys Don’t Cry.
