Hungry for some funny? Sounds like the new competitive carving satire Butter might be what you’re craving, at least according to its cast who hit the red carpet last night for the NY premiere!
Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde, Modern Family’s Ty Burrell and more were all on hand for the creamy fete hosted by The Cinema Society along with DKNY, Forevermark, and RentTheRunway.com — and they all went out of their way to assure audiences that Butter is NOT a political comedy.
So then what is it? To find out, watch my video interview below!
Plus while Butter hits theaters October 5th, you can get instant gratification right now as the movie’s currently available on iTunes and On Demand. And if it’s half as fun as the cast seems to have had making it, then you’re in for a treat…

In the cinematic world of Rian Johnson, where friends are collaborators and cast and crew a part of a close-knit filmmaking “family,” actor Noah Segan is a constant. But after appearing in Johnson’s debut film Brick and his follow-up, The Brothers Bloom, Segan received what he calls a “gift” from Johnson — one of the smartest rising writer-directors of his generation — in the form of what’s sure to be his breakout role: The finely-tuned, gun-obsessed futuristic cowboy Kid Blue in Looper, a “gat man” eagerly hunting down rival Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who’s so fraught with seriocomic human frailty he only grows more sympathetic as he becomes increasingly unhinged.
To Segan’s credit, he shines in the role Johnson tailored for him, inspired by Segan’s own offscreen cinephilia and the actor’s favorite movie — the obscure Warren Oates Western Kid Blue, his signature on Twitter, Tumblr and the film community for years. As Gordon-Levitt’s steely Joe attempts to change his fate by confronting his future self (Bruce Willis), Segan’s eager-to-please Kid Blue illustrates a pained parallel course of desperate self-determination gone wrong. For the actor, who considers Brick the start of his bona fide career and also appeared in Deadgirl, What We Do Is Secret, and Cabin Fever 2, Looper could and should be the catalyst for Hollywood to take note.
As he and the Looper crew took Fantastic Fest by storm, Segan spoke with Movieline about his uniquely personal relationship with Looper and director Johnson, the compelling complexities of Kid Blue, that one time he was on Dawson’s Creek, and why no industry honor could match the feeling of being welcomed as family at the best movie theater in…
Friday night saw the opening gala for the fantasy adaptation Life of Pi at the 50th Annual New York Film Festival, and oh boy the times they are a’changing! Who’d have ever guessed that a 3-D flick would open a prestigious film festival?
Well, apparently if it’s from Ang Lee all bets are off. The director got major kudos from his peers for embracing 3D, with Fox head honcho Tom Rothman saying Lee has even topped Scorsese’s use of the medium in Hugo!
Check out my video interview below not just to hear Lee defend 3-D, but for an awesome Movieline shout out from Frank Oz himself.
Plus: Tom Rothman has a warning for all other films on behalf of his upcoming Steven Spielberg sci-fi actioner, Robopocalypse, which I’m pretty sure will be in 3-D…

This foreign born B- list mostly television actor has been rising the fame charts the past few months. In a big way. Everyone thinks he is gorgeous and was thrilled that he had found a girlfriend. He didn’t though and has had to back way off from being seen with her because his boyfriend was ticked. (CDAN)
The only thing I’ve got is Liv Tyler and Benedict Cumberbatch? But that doesn’t really work, because if I went up to a human with semi-working eyeballs, showed them a picture of Benedict Cumsinbatches and asked them if they think he’s gorgeous, they’d fist me in the nose for accusing them of being into amphibians. I don’t think his lizard tongue gets the tingles for peen anyway. He’s just old British money. They all look like they lost their butt cherry to the stable boy.
Everyone is so excited that these two lovebirds are back together! Sorry, but that kind of naivete is going to come back and bite you on the butt. Why? Because their reunion is both fake and temporary.
We told you before that they their original coupling took place in a publicist’s office. They became good friends, but nothing more. If they look like they are in love, it is only because they are actors. If they can convince you on screen, they can convince you off

In case you forgot what Lindsay Lohan looked like before collagen, bad decisions and coke ate the youth from her face, here she is in a video from 2004 dancing in the background with Tina Fey while Amy Poehler does the Kevin G rap from Mean Girls. It’s weird seeing LiLo so fresh in the face and laughing at something other than having the coke farts. Weird!
You kind of just want to jump through the screen and say, “Hello Tina Fey, hello Amy Poehler, you don’t know me, but I am from the future and here are some documents you’ll need to legally adopt Lindsay Lohan because homegirl is headed for some fuckery. If you don’t want to do it, I’ll just give the documents to that hotel painting over there, because literally any thing can do a better job than White Oprah. I’ll explain the White Oprah thing to you later.”

In about two weeks, I’ll say goodbye to cursing at hos under my breath for walking so damn slow in front of me and I’ll say hello to cursing at a ho in the car in front of me for actually stopping at a stop sign instead of doing the slow roll like normal drivers do. Since Amanda Bynes has moved to NYC, the streets of Los Angeles are a little bit safer (not really), so it’s a good time for me to pick up my dog, bong and rubber dongs and move back for now. I’m mostly doing it because I’ve been here over 10 years and need a change, but I’m mostly doing it because I can’t resist the lure of a weed card, In-N-Out and possibly witnessing Angelyne make copies of her headshot at Kinko’s. So get out your gas masks, L.A., because here I come.
When I told one of my friends about this, he’s like, “Ewwww, aren’t you afraid you’re going to lose your NYC edginess?!” First of all, why do I have a friend that says shit like “NYC edginess”? Second of all, whatever “NYC edginess” I have I got from watching HGTV all night while pouring potato chip crumbs from the bottom of a Lay’s bag into my eating hole, so that’s not going to change. Because when I’m in my 1-bedroom Studio City apartment (or whatever), I plan on spending my nights watching HGTV while pouring potato chip crumbs from the bottom of

Short answer: Kristen Stewart’s pussy has always been a Ruprick Sanders-free zone.
Most of us were sitting here thinking that RPattz is back with KStew, because the head bitches at Summit Entertainment told him to get back with her for the last Twatlight publicity tour or they’d make sure the only job he’d ever be able to get is head host at a Twilight-themed family restaurant in Forks, Washington. But the truth according to Radar (which is sort of like saying the truth according to your gossiping auntie) is that KStew told RPattz that the only thing Rupert Sanders stuck in her was his tongue and that her down low vampire trap forever belongs to Edward Cullen. Some source who is totally not Kristen Stewart’s publicist put it like this to Radar:
“Kristen and Rupert both told their respective partners that they didn’t actually have sex. Kristen was absolutely steadfast that she only engaged in several make-out sessions with Rupert but never slept with him. Rob didn’t believe her in the beginning but as time wore on he accepted her explanation. Kristen has given Rob passwords to her voicemail and e-mail account to prove she has nothing to hide and will do anything to get his trust back.”
Now I’m
