Video of Robert Pattinson walking to his trailer from the set
Cosmopolis comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Robert Pattinson, Marion Cotillard, Juliette Binoche, Mathieu Amalric, Samantha Morton, Paul Giamatti, Sarah Gadon, Jay Baruchel. The film is directed by David Cronenberg.

Now that Robert Pattinson has finished work on Breaking Dawn, the two-part, final installment of The Twilight Saga, he is moving on to director David Cronenberg's adaptation of Cosmopolis.
Based on the novel by Don DeLillo, Cosmopolis stars Pattinson as a young multimillionaire named Eric Packer, whose limo ride to get a haircut becomes a 24-hour odyssey around Manhattan that includes a rap star's funeral, presidential-visit traffic jams, terrorist attacks, stalkings, and frequent run-ins with his wife, played by Sarah Gadon (Dream House).

Cronenberg's daughter, photographer Cait Cronenberg used her photo of Cronenberg and Gadon in the movie, coincidentally in the back of a vehicle. Her photo arrived just days before set photos were released online, again showing Pattinson and Gadon meeting up, this time in a cafe.

Cosmopolis is currently shooting in Toronto, is set to open sometime in 2012. Samantha Morton (Sweet and Lowdown, The Messenger) and Juliette Binoche co-star" Source: www.reelzchannel.com

Cover Star G.O.B.!


G.O.B. on the Cover 

While I'm still  recovering from watching Sharpay's Acting Adventure , Yes I know I have only my self to blame . I was thrilled to see that that the G.O.B. is gracing the cover for a forthcoming issue of Troix magazine . I do hope Austin is not doing penance for said Sharpay adventure , and that as a result he now has to stay clothed in Photo Shoots for a minimum of one month . Lord have mercy indeed .

B Magazine !


a B Boy

The other day whilst browsing away , I found out that the founder of XY magazine, Peter Ian Cummings is launching a new magazine 'B Magazine' and a companion magazine 'All American Guys' . If you want to find out more about the magazines , whizz over to B Magazine  . There's also a piece about the original Abercrombie and Fitch Quarterly magazine , where the  then editor in charge , Savas Abadsidis looks back over his 8 years developing and editing the magazine, which of course featured the fantastic photography of Bruce Weber .






The return of Peter Ian Cummings to the magazine world made me think about how much  I loved XY magazine , the covers , the photography and articles , It seemed to me at the time a  totally fresh approach to talking about what it was to be young and gay . I wish B Magazine well when it debuts next month .

XY Returns

But wait there's more, as XY Magazine itself is being relaunched also this year , Eric Bogs who became editor after Peter on the original magazine , is relaunching the magazine later this year .

On the magazines web site you can find out more about the relaunch and use XY cover generator App. You can generate your own cover stars and the upload them to face book . How I wish that app was around when I made my own cover to honour XY. Oddly my Taylor cover seems to have taken up a life off its own popping up all over the place where XY is mentioned . Anyway welcome back XY we've missed you .






I Want it That Way 




Team Jacob 4 Ever !


Pharmaceutical salesmen, Masculine looks, machismo and sentimentality

Jake got one of his more manly looks with a shaved haircut for "Jarhead" (2005) directed by Sam Mendes

Jake Gyllenhaal goes errands out and about in L.A. on 27th May 2011. He is sporting the semi-shaved haircut he got to work on his next film "End of Watch" (2012)


"Jake Gyllenhaal is good at making characters likeable, so when the film opens with his character Jamie getting fired from his job after seducing a coworker, you already somehow like him (and his ridiculously expressive face).

His successful younger brother gets him a job with Pfizer (a leading pharmaceutical company) and the film properly begins.
Love and Other Drugs is based very loosely on the memoir of pharmaceutical salesman Jamie Reidy, and the film has this at its core throughout. He meets Maggie (Anne Hathaway), a sufferer of early onset Parkinson's disease, while desperately trying to sell an alternative Prozac to jaded Dr. Knight (Hank Azaria).

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal as Maggie Murdock and Jamie Randall in "Love and other drugs" (2010)

While Maggie gives a realistic look at living with a degenerative disease and drug-dependency, Dr. Knight comes from another angle and encourages the audience never to be a doctor (juggling 50 patients a day, insurance companies and lawyers).

"May's upfronts — where networks announce their fall schedules to advertisers — there was a pattern: sitcom after sitcom about how today's men are besieged and need to rediscover their masculinity. Among them are How to Be a Gentleman, in which a metrosexual writer hires a trainer to dewussify him; Last Man Standing, with Tim Allen as a sporting-goods-company executive beset by girlie men; Man Up, in which a group of male friends worry they've lost touch with their inner warriors; and Work It, in which two guys dress in drag (à la Bosom Buddies) to land jobs as pharmaceutical reps.

But maybe men, in TV and life, would be better off letting go of some old ideas of masculinity. Charlie Sheen's meltdown — all that aggression and Darwinian gamete spreading — was old-school manhood taken to its farcical extreme. And it fit the themes of his sitcom, Two and a Half Men, about the bachelor-pad exploits of his alter ego Charlie Harper.

Still of Ashton Kutcher in What Happens in Vegas (2008)

Demi Moore (in Balmain) and hubby Ashton Kutcher (in Calvin Klein Collection) at GQ’s The Gentlemen’s Ball held at NYC’s Edison Ballroom on 27th October 2011

So it was telling that the biggest sitcom announcement of the upfronts was CBS's replacement of Sheen with Ashton Kutcher, a guy who started his career as a model, is monogamously married and looks like he uses styling products. Probably nice-smelling ones!
However Two and a Half Men changes, Kutcher's nice-guy public persona already marks a different idea of alpha maledom from the violent torpedoes of testosterone that made Sheen such a headache for CBS. Tim Allen and company may beat their chests, but in the real world, sometimes it's better to man up by manning down". Source: www.time.com


"Francis Ford Coppola's 1985 adaptation of the novel by S.E. Hinton was full of tough thugs and mean mugs — and plenty of leather jackets. The Greasers, a gang of poor, wrong-side-of-the-tracks boys played by Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, Ralph Macchio and C. Thomas Howell, live in Tulsa, Okla., where they have to fight to keep their territory from being overrun by the Socs (pronounced soashes). The Socs are wealthy, preppy jerks who don't understand the plight of the Greasers.The two groups clash repeatedly and one of those clashes results in a fatality, sending two of the Greasers on the run. While the film is chock-full of machismo and bravado, it's also tinged with the sentimentality and philosophical edge that made the novel a teen classic". Source: www.time.com

“One Day” new UK trailer (starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess)

<a href="http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-gb&brand=v5%5E800x450&from=sp&vid=cf47846b-85fe-4960-9bba-341020638de0&src=FLCP:sharebar:embed:null" target="_new" title="Exclusive Movie Trailer: One Day">Video: Exclusive Movie Trailer: One Day</a>
The story follows Dexter (Sturgess), a spoiled rich TV host and Emma (Hathaway), a politically minded, insecure, working class Yorkshire girl, who meet on the same day, July 15th, for the 20 years after they share a one-night stand together at university. Certainly, the drama is much more deeply felt in this recent trailer but problems still abound. Hathaway’s accent is kind of dreadful, the dialogue remains clunky in spots and we’re still not seeing what will elevate this past your standard romcom.
But we’re hoping this is just a of case of the film getting marketed to bring in a crowd and that the final result is something a bit richer and more dynamic than films of this ilk.

“One Day” opens on August 19th.
