Elijah Wood Is The Most Critically-Acclaimed Actor
7:27PM Azaria Jagger | The lovable high-brows at Miller-McCune did some sort of mathematical voodoo to a zillion movie reviews and figured out critics’ favourite and least favourite actors, as well as which critics are the nicest and the meanest. More »
Tim Burton + ‘WALL-E’ ÷ Goggle-Eyed Knit Dolls = ‘9′
4:12AM STV | As creative partnerships go, the one teaming Tim Burton with Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov and a half-dozen or so animated post-apocalyptic rag dolls isn’t one we had on our 2009 wish list. More »
Sharon Stone’s Groceries Get the Glamour Treatment
10:00AM STV | After a couple of stellar installments spotlighting Kim Kardashian’s bad driving and Ryan Gosling’s puke aversions, we’ve been experiencing a bit of a drought on the PrivacyWatch front. And as much as we appreciate this week’s contributions — from Sharon Stone’s grocery adventures to Nick Nolte’s post-traumatic mocha therapy — we have to say: We are this close to discontinuing this feature unless we get some motherfucking sightings up on this motherfucking plane. So! For what we hope isn’t the last time: Hollywood PrivacyWatch is produced by Defamer readers for Defamer readers, so keep sending us your tips with “PrivacyWatch” “or “sightings” in the subject line. There’s no “u” in “surveillance” for nothing. More »
Ian McKellen Surfaces on Web with ‘Hobbit’ News and Not-Needed Castmate Sexuality Updates

But that’s only the half of McKellen’s big gay update, which also includes hot nose-tweaking action and yawning confirmations of his LOTR co-stars’ heterosexuality: I did feel the need to tweak (New Line co-founder Michael Lynne’s) nose once, when he seemed to be trying to diddle the cast of LOTR out of their well-earned share of the profits. It was at a party in Berlin after the opening of The Return of the King. I said “That’s for all the trouble you’ve been causing!” I don’t know who was more surprised: Michael, that I had taken his nose in my finger and thumb and twisted it gently, or me for having dared do it! At least one of us enjoyed it. More »
