PopSugar — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 08:30:00 PST

Anna Kendrick teamed up with her New Moon costar Kellan Lutz last night for the second annual Golden Globes Salute to Young Hollywood Party. Your favorite rising star of 2009 was fresh off an appearance on The Late Show to promote Up in the Air, while Kellan took the evening off from hanging out with his new pup Kevin. Kellan had a little vampire competition on the red carpet, in the form of True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard. His usual companion, girlfriend Kate Bosworth, wasn't there, but they were together Monday for a bash at the Chateau Marmont.

Also representing the undead crew were The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, who stayed close to pals Chris Klein and James Van Der Beek throughout the night. Emmanuelle Chriqui was decked out for the bash, as were Jordana Brewster and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Ashley Tisdale mingled with fellow blonde Brittany Snow, while Olivia Wilde made the rounds with her husband Tao.

Brad Pitt Is a Confirmed Bastard

BuzzSugar — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:37:43 PDT

It seems that the rumors have proved to be true, Brad Pitt will star in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards. As Variety reports, the film, which seems like a slight departure from Tarantino's normal fare, is a WWII drama in which Pitt will play a "Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to take on the Nazis." Interestingly, Pitt's part will also be one of the film's few English-speaking roles, as the majority of it will be shot in French or German with English subtitles.

In addition to the other rumor, that Leonardo DiCaprio is still slated to join, several other actors are now suspected to be cast. Nastassja Kinski may play one of the movie's few female characters, with Simon Pegg in talks to portray a British lieutenant and David Krumholtz (Benji from Superbad) and B.J. Novak (The Office) potentially joining as members of Pitt's army.

This is certainly turning into an interesting project. I'm a fan of Tarantino's work, and with Pitt on board, I'm even more excited. How about you?

Geek of the Week: David Krumholtz from NUMB3RS

GeekSugar — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 10:09:55 PDT

Cool cat David Krumholtz plays the part of mathematical genius Charlie Eppes on CBS' NUMB3RS. Eppes works as a professor of mathematics at a California technical university and helps his FBI agent brother Don Epps (played by Rob Morrow) solve crimes using math. His left-brained talents give him the ability to de-construct any complex or practical situation into a mathematical model. He uses this model to offer insight to the FBI about certain crimes. Multiplying 4 number digits at the age of three, attending Princeton at thirteen, and studying at Stanford and MIT makes this mathematician a perfect geek of the week! Do you know of someone that should be my Geek of The Week? You can nominate that person by adding them to the Geek of the Week group,

Pilot Scoop: The Playboy Club

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:45:46 PDT

With Mad Men off the air for now, you can get your '60s fix with tonight's premiere of new NBC drama The Playboy Club, which was supposedly inspired by Lane Pryce's affair with a Playboy bunny on Mad Men. The series takes us to Chicago in 1963, where a group of women are making their keep by strutting around a nightclub in lingerie.

What it's about: Amber Heard plays Maureen, the new bunny on the block who is still a bit green but is earning her weight in tips as she dreams to sing on stage. Her initiation into a life of scandal comes early when she accidentally kills a creep who's trying to grope her. She gets some help from Nick, a handsome lawyer (Eddie Cibrian) with some shady mob connections and charm to spare.

Where it works: As a person who's pretty unfamiliar with the backstory of Hugh Hefner and the Playboy mansion, the '60s-set series kept my attention because of the glitz and glamour. The pilot introduces us to a wealth of characters (David Krumholtz shines as the club's current man in charge) and sets up plenty of fodder for where the show could go.

Where it doesn't: While the bunnies all look hot, none of them spark a huge amount of intrigue. Maureen's a bit too blah while the rest come off as caricatures. Cibrian's got the right look, but he's trying so hard to be Don Draper that it's distracting. What's worse is that Nick comes off as bland and uninteresting instead of dashing and mysterious.

You might like this show if: You can't get enough of Mad Men's 1960s nostalgia.

When it's on: Mondays at 10 p.m.
