coming soon: water for elephants

i’m a sucker for a period film. and also for reese, robert & christoph.

today we were given a sneak peek at the trio’s next film, water for elephants. check out the trailer above! the film stars robert pattinson as a veterinary student who, after the death of his parents, joins a traveling circus.

set in the world of glitter, majesty and intrigue, jacob (pattinson) falls in love with the circus’ star performer, marlena (reese witherspoon). the two fall in love over their compassion for a special elephant.

marlena’s charismatic but dangerous husband – the incredible christoph waltz – of course poses quite the problem. and have you heard? christoph is one of the best actors there is. it’s bound to be good, then!

based on the best-selling book of the same name, water for elephants hits theaters april 15, 2011. will YOU make plans to see it?

it’s mtv time.

tuning in for the mtv movie awards this weekend? they’re certainly working overtime to promote this puppy! the mtv movie awards are set to go live this sunday, june 6th at 9pm.

hosted by funnyman aziz ansari, we’re promised on heckuva time:

“there will indeed be lights, cameras and lots of action. you don’t want to miss the most talked about jaw dropping moments you know you will be discussing at the water cooler and you won’t be talking about if Best Male Performance hopeful Zac Efron parted his hair to the right or the left. there will be BIG moments people.”

check out some hilarious promo vids with tom cruise’s alter-ego, les grossman.

party pooper

robert pattinson is… bothered! the vampire was portrayed hilariously by jimmy fallon on his late night show – and shared exactly why valentine’s day “bothers” him. flowers, candy, the shapes of hearts… it’s all part of pattinson’s party pooper rant. check it out above.

alright, here’s my plea. robbie boy is set to appear on jimmy’s show on march 1st to promote his latest flick, ‘remember me.’ (which, actually looks pretty interesting.) i hope jimmy can convince robert to help him spoof the “bothered” segment. make it happen!

bothered

words cannot express the hilarity of this jimmy fallon bit. the late-night host premiered his latest brainchild last night, a series of parodies called ‘robert is bothered.’ fallon imitates ‘twilight’ superstar robert pattinson in the sketch, and talks about things that bother him. he even got a little website up and running. 

complete with shag-a-licious hair and a thick british accent, fallon succeeds in bringing robert to life. have you ever seen a robert pattinson interview? he is just as charming as ever, but you can’t deny he acts just a little bit kooky.

in the video above, ‘robert’ talks about how he is bothered by discovery channel’s shark week because sharks, in some ways, mimic vampires. “sharks bite people when they smell blood,” he says. “sound familiar? oh yeah, wait, they’re like vampires. copy-cat fishes. copy-fishes!”

all i can say is i hope jimmy plans on making this a weekly segment. pattinson has spent all of his fame thus far being utterly adored – let’s poke fun at him a bit!

the tween takeover

twilightmoviei was immediately aware of my age for the first time ever last night, & the MTV movie awards were the culprit. since when did being 23 mean you were out of the MTV generation? it was quite a sight – girls screaming, dumb jokes & hype over soon-to-be-released tweenie flicks. this display served as a distraction to how horrible the award show actually was, but that’s another topic.

obviously i didn’t tune in thinking that i would see academy award-type honorees. but wow, ashley tisdale won the breakthrough performance award for her role in highschool freaking musical? but the real standout, of course was everyone’s fave, twilight. apparently it was the best movie of 2009. which i wish i could say i was shocked, but considering MTV leaves the voting up to the crazy screaming fanatics, i think we all saw that one coming.

so, congrats twilight-ers. the purely awkward duo of robert pattinson and kristen stewart at least made for some laughs!
