Today, everybody's naked!
Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley (but not Rachel McAdams, and I'm starting to understand why she dropped out now) starkers on the cover of Vanity Fair. (CLICK HERE for EXCLUSIVE b-roll FOOTAGE of SCARLETT and KEIRA in fluffy white ROBES looking PISSED OFF! Thanks, Vanity Fair subscriber newsletter!)
Pretty much every sex scene in Basic Instinct 2, condensed to a trailer for your viewing horror. There is a moment very early on where Stone is basically wearing see-through... lingerie, I guess?... that will make you stare at the screen and go, "Am I seriously seeing what I think I'm seeing?" And then it just devolves into wall-to-wall unf unf unf. It's not that I'm anti-sex; the whole thing just has such a cheap, blatant, desperate, "Please find me sexy, this is the only thing I can do" vibe to it.
Well, maybe not everybody, because the next two links are actually about costuming:
Narniaweb has giant photos up from a costume/prop exhibit at El Capitan (with an emphasis on the White Witch's first gown, Susan's coronation gown, the weaponry and Christmas gifts, and the Wardrobe itself). (Related: Extended Version of LWW In Works?)
The annual FIDM movie costume exhibit, yay! Will include costumes from, among others, King Kong, Pride and Prejudice, Memoirs of a Geisha, Serenity, Revenge of the Sith, The Chronicles of Narnia, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter, The Aviator (wait, wasn't that last year?), Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (wait, wasn't that animated?), Kingdom of Heaven, Walk the Line, and Brokeback Mountain.
Speculation About Oldman's Role in Phoenix Abounds. People, just because he's not there filming right now doesn't mean he's been cut or recast. UPDATE: WB Confirms Oldman, Thewlis Back for Order of the Phoenix.
Susie Shinner cast as the young Lily Potter (with picture).
Ewan McGregor to play one of Hitchcock's leading men. I think either Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant (and probably the latter, at that), but they're not sure.

More from HSX: "Miranda Otto stars in the mystery-drama In My Father’s Den, which won the top honors at the 2005 British Film Festival. An award-winning war journalist returns home to New Zealand upon the death of his father. He befriends a teenage girl who is fascinated by his experiences. When she goes missing, the journalist comes under suspicion. Secrets and lies are exposed while past demons are confronted head on. Matthew ["Mr. Darcy"] McFadyen and Emily Barclay also star in the film written and directed by Brad McGann."

Kung Fu Monkey takes on the fallacy that a liberal agenda is handing out more awards to tiny indie movies. Worth it for the line, "Yes, Mr. Apuzzo. That is me beating you with your own idiot stick."
(Oh, and for "How in the name of Pauline Kael's Haunted Panties [does an idiot like] you critically analyze cinema?" Well, this guy does by apparently arguing that George Lucas and Ian McDiarmid both deserved personal Oscar nominations, for one. Kung Fu's subsequent meltdown is a thing of beauty.)
"Harry Potter Ralph Fiennes star is a love rat!" Who apparently enjoys nights of "champagne-fueled sex" with some girl who is more than willing to blab everything and then some to the tabloids, even though Fiennes is supposedly with Francesca Annis. After a series of breathless, Harlequin-quality articles, we end up with this headline: Love Rat Fiennes dumped. Me, I just want to start a punk band called Champagne-Fueled Love Rat.
