HOLLYWOOD
The 35-year-old actress and her 32-year-old husband of 3 years, are finally going to start their own family and are expecting a child this fall. The happy couple have been candid about starting their own big brood of children, even telling mags like People that Pratt wanted a "big family" and that he wanted to be a father as soon as possible.
Faris has been quite busy lately as her movie The Dictator opens in theaters May 16. She is also currently in London filming Working Title's I Give It a Year with Rose Byrne and Simon Baker. Pratt is filming Zero Dark Thirty and we will see him in Ten Year alongside Channing Tatum this September.
We wish you all the best guys!
Twenty-three years later and still crazy in love like when they first met.
In an interview for Redbook’s April issue, Sedgwick, 46, dishes on her steamy relationship with hubby, Kevin Bacon, 53. “When he walks into a room…my heart gets a little fluttery and I think, ‘Oh! He’s so cute. He’s so hot,” What could be the success to this lasting marriage? Sedgwick says, “He’s still a mystery to me.”
As for being a mom to Travis, 22 and daughter, Sosie, 20, life’s pretty good for The Closer star.
Every year movie (and party) lovers from all over the world flock to Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. It's the world's largest independent film festival and includes 10 days of non-stop films, celebrities, parties, mingling, and networking. And Talent Resources has certainly returned to Sundance 2012 with a bang! Their gifting suites have been jam-packed with celebrities swooping up gifts from sponsors such as Rachel Roy, Sean John, Cream of Wheat, The Teaologist, DL1961 Premium Denim, Prasad Medical Skincare, and more!
Everyone from William H. Macy to Mary J. Blige has shown up to get their hands on free goodies. But it wasn't all about receiving; celebs also gave back by signing custom silver Cream of Wheat thermoses that are to be donated to the Ronald McDonald House charity.
It's that time of year again --Hollywood's award season! The time of year where people obsess over who-won -what-wearing-what-on-the-arm-of-who. Did you get all that? More importantly, film greatness is honored and recognized. While the Academy Awards have received lukewarm reviews in the past few years over choice of host, a slow-moving program, and generally unfunny punchlines; everyone gets excited over who will win best Actor and Actress in a leading role, and that final nailbiting moment: Best Picture of the Year.
(For the record, leads we're pulling for are Brad Pitt in Moneyball and Glenn Close in Albert Nobbs.)

Maybe a more appropriate area to be associated with wealth hoarding is Hollywood, rather than New York's financial district. Last year, just six major movie studios (Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney/Touchstone Pictures, Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures) dominated 85% of the US & Canadian Market. It’s time to occupy some alternative spaces and show a little love to our independent filmmakers, festivals and theaters.
The 10th Annual Miami Short Film Festival takes place this week, November 13th - 19th.

"I was in the 6th grade's Gifted and Talented Program," says D.C. Pierson, still torturing himself 15 years later.
"There was this girl who I kind of arbitrarily picked to be the object of my affection. All throughout elementary school she had kind of been a buddy, so I finally said, 'Uh, I think I like you.' She was completely creeped out."
He still hasn't recovered. On Sunday, Pierson premieres his new show, "D.C. Pierson Is Bad at Girls," at the UCB Theatre in Hollywood. The storytelling hour will trace his sad, pathetic, and hilarious path through the treacherous world of dating. "It's kind of a running theme," he says. "Someone I know is a pal, then I'm like, "Uhh? And they're like, "Ughhh!" And I'm like, "Ugh."
