Lindsay Lohan sounded refreshingly poised and mature in her interview Tuesday night with Extra, the actress’ first sit-down with a reporter since her 73 days in rehab at Betty Ford and since her felony grand theft charges. Though the actress was unable to speak about the case, she did talk to interviewer Jerry Penacoli about her troubled past, and desire to rehab her own image. Said Lohan about what she hopes to one day be recognized for: “Great movies. Great films…. That’s what I’ve aspired to do my whole life, and personal incidences in my life got in the way. But I don’t want that to be what I’m known for anymore, you know, the tabloid stuff. That’s not important to me. I don’t like the attention. I don’t want that. I want my attention to come through in my films for the work that I’m doing. Not for if I’m going in the hair salon.” READ FULL STORY »

Rob Pattinson tackles alligator, talks Charlie Sheen in 'Vanity Fair' cover story: 'I like crazy people'
Wow. Based on Rob Pattinson’s April Annie Leibovitz-shot Vanity Fair cover (on stands March 3), I’d say Lacoste is getting really aggressive with brand recognition in their latest collection. No, I keed. The alligator draped around Pattinson’s neck appears to be there to represent how hard it is to break away from teen-targeted entertainment’s choke-hold, a Hollywood trap that is only made more difficult to escape by the unflinching reptilian claws of 15-year-old fan girls in need of more — I say more! — Twilight. (Or something like that?)
But we learn much more from the cover story than just how jaunty and handsome alligator-wrangling can be: Most notably, that the actor watches the kind of TV that you only watch when your remote runs out of batteries and you can’t change the channel, or after a misguided, drunken night when you feel like finding a reason to despise yourself even more.

What's your biggest pet peeve about going to the movie theater?
Image Credit: SUE TALLON FOR EWYou might not have guessed it from this weekend’s shiny, happy Oscar telecast with its red-carpet glamour, beaming trophy winners, and cute kids singing “Over the Rainbow,” but Hollywood is in the midst of a serious funk. Even with huge hits like Avatar, Inception, and Toy Story 3, ticket sales dropped 5 percent last year, and this year isn’t looking any rosier so far: January 2011 wound up being the worst January for the movie business in 20 years. In an age of ever-proliferating entertainment options available anywhere, any time, it’s becoming increasingly hard to lure people off their couches and into a movie theater. There are plenty of reasons you might choose to stay home and pop a disc into your Blu-ray player, play Fallout 3 on your Xbox, or just watch YouTube videos of cats playing the piano and peeing in toilets instead of shlepping to the cineplex. Many moviegoers gripe about high ticket prices (though theater owners like it point out that, if you adjust for inflation, movie tickets are actually cheaper on average than they were in 1940). Others bemoan the expensive and often lousy food at the concession stand. Personally, my biggest pet peeve is being trapped in my seat and, like Alex with his eyelids pinned open in A Clockwork Orange, forced to watch inane pre-show commercials for cell phones and energy drinks.

Christina Aguilera detained for public intoxication. Here, Xtina, have some much-needed PopWatch Therapy.
Image Credit: Christopher Polk/Getty ImagesHey there, Christina. Come on over. Take a seat. Would you like a snack? No, I understand I sound a bit like Chris Hansen right now, but this is not To Catch a Predator. This is PopWatch Therapy. Why do you need it? Well, it seems you’ve been experiencing some hard knocks as of late. You filed for divorce from Jordan Bratman last October. Your film, Burlesque, didn’t do so well at the box office in November. Photos stolen from you by a computer hacker leaked onto the Web in December. You flubbed a line singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the Super Bowl in February. And, just last night, those hard-partying rumors caught up with you when you were detained on suspicion of public intoxication, transforming you into the subject of ridicule for bloggers and Internet commenters worldwide.
So that’s where we come in. Never known to kick celebrities when they’re down (well, it depends which ones), we’re here to help. To provide, as Stuart Smalley would say, some daily affirmation. (At least for today.) So, without further ado, let’s list off some of your admirable qualities, shall we? READ FULL STORY »

How ugly will Josh Brolin's Hunchback of Notre Dame be?
Image Credit: Mary Evans/Ronald Grant/Everett CollectionA lot has happened to Quasimodo since novelist Victor Hugo first imagined him in 1831′s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Most obviously, he’s gotten better and better looking, especially since the advent of movie houses. In 1923, Lon Chaney portrayed the grotesque yet sympathetic outcast who rings the bell atop Paris’ most famous cathedral. Charles Laughton (left) was a little more dignified in the 1939 version. In 1956, Anthony Quinn was less monstrous, and in 1997, the otherwise dashing Mandy Patinkin labored under the hump. The trend from gargoyle to GQ continues with today’s news, first reported by Variety, that handsome Josh Brolin is eying the not-so-handsome role in an adaptation to be directed by Tim Burton. My, that’s a hunky hunchback! READ FULL STORY »
'Dancing With the Stars': The celeb-pro pairings!
Image Credit: Everett Collection; Maksim Chmerkovskiy: ABCWell, well, well. I’m sure you’ve been on the edges of your sequined armchairs waiting for my reaction to the new DWTS cast. Sorry about the delay — I had to spend the entire day figuring out who the hell these people are. Just kidding! Google is easy. No, I spent much of the day seeking out the rumored Star-Pro pairings for season 12.
Sadly, Enthusiastic Activia Lady Jamie Lee Curtis could not find time in her busy schedule of eating yogurt and crafting paper bracelets to answer my late November prayers. WTF, EAL?
The couples in the running for season 12′s COVETED MIRRORBALL TROPHY…. are…. coming up, after the break! READ FULL STORY »
Video-On-Demand: Why Hollywood needs to push the button
Image Credit: Steven Puetzer/Getty Images; ParamountLet’s say there’s a new Ryan Gosling-Kirsten Dunst drama coming out next week. Or maybe it’s a Joaquin Phoenix-Gwyneth Paltrow romance. Whatever it is, you have two choices. You could either, A, hire a babysitter for $50, drive to the multiplex, plunk down $20 on tickets, drop another $20 on popcorn and soda at the concession stand, and then squeeze yourself into a back row seat behind some guy wearing a stove pipe hat. Or B, you could push a button on your remote control and watch the movie unspool on your TV from the comfort of your own La-Z-Boys. Total cost: $10, maybe a little more for premium fare.
Seems like a no-brainer, right? So why is Hollywood still so wary of the idea of debuting their movies in theaters and on video-on-demand at the same time? READ FULL STORY »
Tonight on '20/20': The Tao of Charlie Sheen
By now, you’ve probably seen and heard enough from Charlie Sheen on the Today Show, Piers Morgan Tonight, and Howard Stern Show to last a lifetime, but ABC is showcasing more of his craziness/truth in the hopes that you’ll tune in to another interview on 20/20 tonight. At this point, I’m no longer curious about his unusual homelife — which he shares with two “goddesses” — or his “war” to keep Two and a Half Men on the air. I’m only interested in the pithy slogans he coins and the outrageous quotes that have have never, ever been uttered before by human tongues. Here are my top-nine from tonight’s 20/20 interview with Andrea Canning: READ FULL STORY »
