Starring opposite George Clooney in Up In The Air was, at least at first, a nerve-wracking experience for Anna Kendrick. “Yes, let’s just say I was terrified,” she laughs. “Who wouldn’t be? I mean, come on, it’s George and he’s one of the biggest stars in the world.”
You’d never know that she suffered from a touch of nerves. On screen, the actress gives a remarkable performance as a self assured young career woman, Natalie Keener, who has to learn the ropes from an older, more experienced colleague, Ryan Bingham played by Clooney.

The Oscars may be over, but the butts live on forever! Although Oscar nominees are unfortunately notoriously stingy with the peen shots, they tend to be more forthcoming with their nude posteriors. After the jump, compare the asses of this year's best actor could-have-beens George Clooney and Jeremy Renner and eventual winner Jeff Bridges. I'd like to thank the Academy! (NSFW)

Alexa from Pop Elegantiarum here with some handmade Oscar fun. Last month I was convinced that Up in the Air was a lock to win Best Picture; now I'm not so certain. Despite that, or maybe because of it, I think I want to have this George Clooney paper doll handy on Oscar night, if only to have his sexy reaction shot at the ready.Janelle Rene has really captured him in all his suave charm. He comes in his own popcorn box (why is that scene from Diner coming to mind?).He also comes with ...
You know how you have those snooty know-it-all friends who live in New York and Los Angeles and they're always going on and on about how every celebrity is gay and they know for sure because they have some friend who went home with him once? I know, I know! I am one of those people, and I'm still sick of it. (I know this guy who... oh, never mind.)
With all the gossip flying around, how's a guy to know if George Clooney might accept your marriage proposal? Unless we accept the (maybe not-so-implausible?) premise that every male celebrity is ...
I realize I just posted about the The Blind Side and got all warm and fuzzy about how someone in this day and age can be so trusting and have it be a life changer (in a positive way) for another person. On Monday night's news was the other side of the coin. Online Casonova Bilks Woman of Thousands - CBS2 Chicago. Granted, it's a bit different. In The Blind Side a woman and her family take in an unknown into their home. In this news story a woman corresponded with a Commander ...
Robert Downey Jr. was a ball of good times alongside co-stars Jude Law, Rachel McAdams and director Guy Ritchie at the Sherlock Holmes premiere in Madrid yesterday.
He’s a loveably silly one, isn’t he? He was snapped hamming it up with wife Susan Levine on the red carpet.
If he gets any more charming and goofy, he’ll morph into George Clooney. And if Guy Ritchie’s ass gets any tighter, his sh*t will morph into diamonds.
More snaps after the jump!

I had something of what I can only describe (badly) as a "meta-moment" at tonight's screening of Fantastic Mr Fox...And technically it was more than one moment... but, work with me here...There were a number of points during the film where the audience laughed. Some of these moments I'm still baffled over (although the very first one I think can be chalked up to the clunky animation style), but others I can acknowledge as amusing... but really, it wasn't really that funny, and it certainly wasn't laugh out loud funny.So does that say more about me or more ...
Jason Reitman's previous film was the adorable Juno, for which he was nominated for Best Director and Ellen Page received a Best Actress Oscar nomination. His latest film Up in the Air stars Oscar-winner George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick.The story is about Ryan Bingham, whose job is firing people for firms who can't stomach dropping the axe themselves and who has used his position to rack up an incredible number of frequent flyer miles. He is a man who spends most of his time in transit, eschewing connections with other people.Anna Kendrick plays a colleague of ...
Last year the DC Film Critics Association gave Slumdog millions (of prizes). This year they express their desire to fly George Clooney's friendly skies. I'm not here to judge (well not in this particular sentence) as I'm totally in love with Up in the Air, too. But then I just saw it and am still fanning myself from the heat coming off of Clooney & Farmiga. I need a little distance and a cold shower before I commit to any "best!" notions. Thankfully I allow myself that. Most organizations do not. Hence the hasty decision making.I didn't share ...
The National Board of Review was all about Up in the Air with its annual awards, announced today. Jason Reitman's follow up to Juno landed four trophies, including Best Film of 2009.
