‘Heroes’ Uses Powerful Milo-Current To Resuscitate Robert Forster’s Career

7:50AM Seth | Having already enjoyed the effects of one defribrillation at the hands of master career re-animator Quentin Tarantino, ’70s TV acting icon (with occasional forays into B-movies like Alligator and Disney’s The Black Hole) Robert Forster makes another deserved comeback on NBC’s sprawling super-power fantasia, Heroes.

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 »

Milo Ventimiglia: ‘Just Put Tons of Come On My Face. Tons.’

5:20AM Defamer Hollywood | Now that Heroes has resumed shooting after a strike-truncated, poorly received second season, star Milo Ventimiglia has less time for nachos (”uh-oh!”) and more publicity rounds to make. The latest stop on his Heroes redemption tour is gay magazine The Advocate, where Ventimiglia sat down and dished to writer Brandon Voss about his frequent on-screen shirtlessness (”You do start to wonder…”), his friend John Krasinski, and a certain gossip blogger’s habit of defacing his paparazzi pictures: More »

The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Career Paths

6:20AM Molly Friedman | Only three years ago, Blake Lively was just That Blonde Girl from The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants, and America Ferrera was just the Token Dorky Sidekick. Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn, on the other hand, were bonafide TV stars. My, how things have changed. With the film’s sequel debuting next month, we take a look at how each of the leading ladies has done career-wise since the original racked up nearly $40MM at the box office in 2005. While there’s a bit of bad news for the original’s biggest stars, there’s an alternate way of looking at this role reversal: any actress’ status as the perennial “buddy” can obviously change with one little show that could.

Milo Ventimiglia Just Got Some Poolside Nachos, Uh Oh

6:13AM Mark Graham | While the direct effects of the WGA Strike have been well-documented ($3.2 billion in economic impact, the cancellation of the Golden Globes, the greenlighting of Quarterlife), it’s harder to quantify some of the strike’s more indirect effects. For example, if the Writer’s Strike had never happened, Heroes probably would not have gone on hiatus until the summer, which means that the world would likely never have been subjected to the latest nonsensical video ravings of Milo Ventimiglia’s Divide Social Club. The group, which consists of the aforementioned Mr. Ventimiglia and two of his meathead buddies, was founded in March of 2006, but it wasn’t until Milo found himself without steady employment a few months back that the group’s work began to take off. And by take off, we really mean devolve to a level of inanity that makes Chris Crocker look like Daniel Webster. Take, for instance, the video clip above, which documents Milo and his pursuit to eat poolside nachos … with sour cream. More »

Short Ends: Sun-Maid Nip/Tucked

11:26AM Defamer Hollywood | We realise this makeover isn’t that new, but did the Sun-Maid girl fix a deviated septum? And get Botox? And a chemical peel? And a brow lift? And gone tanning? She’s still being styled by Rachel Zoe, though. Zing! The AMPTP clock has hit $US151,000,000. Why is that figure significant? Well, says their website, it’s the moment the strike has crossed over into the red abyss, costing the writers more than they were negotiating for in the first place. Do you taste the bitter irony here? It’s so unpleasant on the tongue! The visor supposedly worn by Date on Star Trek: The Next Generation and sold by Christie’s to a Trekkie for $US6000 is now suspected of being a fake. It’s official: Rocky’s son and the indestructible cheerleader are doing it! Did somebody say…list? Reality Blurred reminds us of all the reality stars who died this year–a surprisingly hefty lot–as well as a bunch of other reality TV stuff from a year where the format reigned supreme. More »
