Plagued since childhood by a paralyzing stammer, the future King George VI of England has given up hope of finding a cure for his impediment. His concerned wife urges him to seek the help of an iconoclastic Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue, who insists on a level of familiarity with his new patient that the royal prince is loath to perm...
Posted in: Oscars 2011Obama on the D-list?!
Unless something went terribly wrong at the post office, president Obama and Michelle will not be attending the royal wedding.
Prince William and Kate Middleton claim that they want their wedding party to take place infront of “ordinary citizens” – hence the invitation sent out to David and Victoria Beckham, Elton john, and the King of Bahrain.
Here's what a St. James Palace spokesman had to say about it: "The wedding will not be a formal state occasion since Prince William is neither the sovereign nor the heir to the throne". And here's what a senior courtier had to say about the President's exclusion from the wedding: "It is certainly not the case that all foreign heads of state will be excluded.
The guest list is still being drawn...

PICS: Kate Middleton, Prince William Launch a Lifeboat!
The world's most famous engaged couple turned up in Trearddur Bay, Wales on Thursday -- bearing champagne!
On Kate Middleton and Prince William's agenda in their first joint appearance since announcing their engagement last year: To launch and dedicate a lifeboat!
As 2,000 locals looked on dockside, a smiling Middleton, 29, looked comfortable and super-chic: wearing a feathery hat by Philip Treacy and a three-quarter-length beige coat.
She and Prince William, 28, sang both the Welsh and English national anthems -- and Middleton knew both by heart! "She looked beautiful while she was singing," an eyewitness tells UsMagazine.com
After brief remarks from her Prince, royal-to-be Middleton poured champagne over the "Hereford Endeavor."

Diane Kruger Goes Semi Nude in GQ
Save for a pair of vintage boots from Elegant Furs and a strategically placed throw, actress Diane Kruger took it all off for her recent GQ photo shoot, in which she promotes her new thriller with Liam Neeson, "Unknown."
The naked time is an interesting turn for Kruger who recently told Glamour magazine that she despises the vulgarity that permeates Hollywood.
"I love three-quarter sleeves," Kruger says in the mag. "I definitely like it classic; less is more. The thing I despise most is vulgarity, and there's a lot of that here (in L.A.)," Kruger said to Glamour.
She admits to the mag that director Quentin Tarantino wasn't initially keen to cast her as the starlet-assassin Bridget von Hammersmark in "Inglourious Basterds" because he didn't...
Posted in: Celebrity NewsGreat Royal Weddings: Crown Prince Haakon of Norway Marries Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby by Beth Cooney Fitzpatrick
It was a Cinderella fairy tale turned real-life royal wedding when Crowne Prince Haakon of Norway married single mother and former waitress, Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby on Aug. 25, 2001.
The prince's two-year courtship with the petite, blue-eyed blonde, the mother of a four-year-old son Marius, initially scandalized the Scandinavian nation. The bride's past, which included a convicted drug-dealer ex-boyfriend, inspired catty European headlines such as the unfortunate "HRH Princess Single Mum."
The pressure to produce a more "suitable" bride to legitimize the rather young Norwegian monarchy seemed inconsequential to the heir-to-the-throne Prince Haakon, who openly lived with Hoiby, the woman he declared the "love of his life" before their...

Just go with this: Jennifer Aniston has lopped off several inches of her world-famous hair.
The actress, 42, stepped out for a photo call on Tuesday in Madrid, Spain for Just Go With It, debuting a dramatically shorter, chin-length new bob.
For her big hair moment (with costars Adam Sandler and Brooklyn Decker nearby), the star wore a clingy black Theory tank to, Celine pants, Fred Leighton jewels and Pierre Hardy shoes.
And it looks like Aniston made her momentous hair decision while abroad -- just a day earlier in Berlin, her blonde locks fell past her shoulders
Aniston's shorter hairdo is slightly reminiscent of her most famous haircut ever: "The Rachel," the Friends-era haircut that helped launch her stardom in the 9...
That's a wrap: Oscar voting is officially over
Aren't you glad that's over? At 5 PM PT today, polls finally closed for the 83rd Academy Awards. No more ads. No more Q&A's. No more last minute calls to scrounge up votes. The membership has cast their ballots with all to be revealed this Sunday night at the Kodak Theater. Now, publicists, nominees and the media can take a nice breather (well, not really) until the big show.
Perhaps it's just my perspective, but it feels like the drumbeat was growing louder than ever to move the whole process back a few weeks. The Academy considered this over the past year but tabled it, partially waiting to see what happens with the NFL's hope of expanding their season by two games which might put the Super Bowl and Oscar on the same weekend....
Posted in: Oscars 2011Emmy Rossum Dishes on "Slippery" Sex Scenes
Emmy Rossum has no problem baring her bod during racy sex scenes for her new Showtime series, Shameless -- but she does like to leave a little to the imagination.
"We like it to be realistic, but not real, so I wear something that I have called the 'vag pad,'" the actress, 24, explained during an appearance on Chelsea Lately Monday night. "It's like a little triangular, kind of, panty liner that you stick to yourself.
Still, she admitted it's not completely fool-proof.
"If you do a lot of slipping and sliding, it tends to move a little," Rossum explained. "It's a slippery situation."
The single star -- she recently split with Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz, 46 -- also talked sex recently with Vegas Magazine. "It doesn't make sense that...

Christian Bale's back. Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy are in. The Dark Knight Rises is down for July 2012.
So, what else we got? Clues, tidbits and fake press releases. Here's where, to the best of our knowledge, the upcoming Batman movie stands:
1. Christopher Nolan Is Waiting on Awards-Season to End: Bat-butler Michael Caine told E! News on Monday that he hasn't seen a script—because there isn't a script to see. "He [Nolan] said, 'I'll finish it in two weeks,' " Caine reported. The reputed timeline, you may have noticed, coincides with the Oscars being over, and Nolan being done with black-tie appearances on behalf of Inception.

Nicole Kidman: "I Felt So Much Love For Our Surrogate"
In an interview set to air tomorrow night, Nicole Kidman talks to Australia's 60 Minutes about witnessing the birth of her new daughter Faith Margaret, an experience she calls "deeply emotional, moving."
"Having given birth and then being there to see my child born in that way, I felt so much love for our surrogate, gestational carrier," says Nicole, who is married to singer Keith Urban.
The Rabbit Hole actress also explains why she uses the term "gestational carrier" as opposed to "surrogate" - something she was criticized for in the days following the announcement of baby Faith's birth.
"We were trying to be accurate," she shares. "The term 'gestational carrier' is used if it's your biological child and if it isn't, then you use 'surrogate.'...
Ranbir caught kissing Katrina!
Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, who have always denied any 'special' relationship between them, were spotted getting cosy in an international flight. The duo reportedly indulged in some serious PDA on the flight from Frankfurt to Mumbai on Sunday night.
Seems the couple took advantage of the opportunity at hand and were seen holding hands reportedly. "The first class had many European businessmen, and not too many passengers recognised them. Katrina was wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans and had no make up on. Initially she kept looking around to see if there would be any familiar Indian faces, but when she saw that wasn't the case, she got comfortable in her seat and started talking to Ranbir. After the flight took off, they cosied up and...
I Am Number Four Official Trailer & Movie Review
Aliens versus teenagers battling it out on a high-school campus. The premise of I Am Number Four seems like it would make for a surefire hit at the box office. But it makes the Chicago Sun-Times’s movie critic, Roger Ebert, downright exasperated. It’s sad, he writes, “when a movie casts aside all shame, demonstrates itself willing to rip off anything that might attract audiences, and nevertheless fails.” It all may be shameless, but Gary Thompson in the Philadelphia Daily News suggests that director D.J. Caruso knows how to pack them in at the multiplex. He “makes movies that are cheerfully unoriginal and empty of calories, but propulsive, and Four is in that vein.” Michael Phillips in the Chicago Tribune has the chutzpah to make the comment...
It's Fun and Easy to Get Swept Up in Unknown...Just Don't Think About It Too Much
Review in a Hurry: With his mighty vertical stature and distinctive voice (even when he's trying to badly affect other accents), Liam Neeson is tough to mistake for anybody else. So if he's confused about who he is, rest assured it must have taken a powerfully evil plot to make that happen. Try not to think too hard about it, and you'll enjoy watching him beat his way back to total recall.
En route to a biotech conference in Berlin, Dr. Martin Harris (Neeson) is momentarily distracted at the airport and leaves his briefcase behind. Returning to get it in a hurry, while riding in the cab of the improbably beautiful and kind illegal immigrant Gina (Diane Kruger), he encounters an equally improbable accident involving a flying fridge, and ends...
The Eagle, Is a Slow-Moving History Lesson—About Swords & Hunks!
Channing Tatum is not as horribly miscast as you might expect in the role of a Roman soldier who ventures north of Hadrian's Wall into anarchic Scotland. Based on a book, The Eagle of the Ninth, that also spawned the 1977 UK miniseries, this movie has problems unrelated to the acting—its pacing and storytelling simply don't work onscreen.
The Bigger Picture: Having made a movie set in Uganda entitled The Last King of Scotland, director Kevin Macdonald returns to the actual Scotland, in an era of monarchies and empires, for this new adaptation of Rosemary Sutcliff's novel.
Much of the director's filmography has been documentaries, and the period detail here at least feels authentic. Perhaps, given this background, he felt an obligation to...
