A Cyrus Carol: 3 Ways Miley's Career Could Go Based on Her New 'Rolling Stone' Interview

Miley Cyrus covers the new issue of Rolling Stone with the now familiar sight of her tongue hanging out. The cover image is unfortunate, because it overshadows a great interview that begins with a mix-up of the Baldwin brothers (Stephen is a big fan, not Alec), passes through her disintegrating relationship, and ends with a club scene right out of one of her music videos. On that long, eventuful ride, Miley comes across as clueless, self-aware, pretentious, smart, foolish, and pretty fun. While she might not have the best head on her shoulders, it's a 20-year-old head. There's plenty of time and potential for it to become smarter and savvier. But that also means there's plenty of time for it to stagnate and continue in its decline to post-Disney tragedy. Let's look at some potential paths for Miley in the wake of Twerk-Gate.
The Good: As I do with all child stars, I implore you, Miley, take some night classes. Nothing bad can come of more knowledge. In fact, that's the one piece of advice Miley would do well to heed: learn something! Learn the history of the hip hop you say you love, and learn why your "twerking" feels like a sign of disrespect to the black community. Learn what slut-shaming is, and whether or not you're being unfairly judged based on your gender. Armed with this knowledge, Miley then brings something to the table to collaborations with the famous hip hop stars she texts, and brings a whole new audience to their work.
The Bad: Remaining gleefully unaware, Miley seems convinced she's black. Never daring to do more than pay lip service to her appreciation of black artists, her friendship with Kanye West falls flat and sparks a lame fued, which Steve Carrell jumps on, unhappy about her dangerous driving. (Quoth Miley: "It's like Dan in Real Life is watching me right now!"). After that, Miley is driven out of her neighborhood and left with some stale schtick and not enough good sense to take a break from the business.
The Ugly: Like Justin Bieber, her doppleganger and her self-proclaimed mentee, Miley lets her coddling parents and colony of sychopantic fans inflate her ego. Then, convinced of her swaggy adulthood, Cyrus wastes her money on increasingly elaborate party buses and winds up singing "Party in the USA" on a series of mall tours around Middle America. It doesn't seem like it'll come to this, but just in case, someone should probably make sure she doesn't have any plans to buy a monkey.

'Grace of Monaco' Bumped to 2014 Thanks to Oscar Politics

Folks, it doesn't look like Grace of Monaco is quite Oscar-worthy material... or at least that's what we can take away from The Weinstein Company's decision to push its Grace Kelly biopic to Spring 2014. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Olivier Dahan-directed (La Vie en Rose) film will not be released in time to qualify for this year's Oscar race because TWC believes that it needs more time to be completed.
The film, which chronicles six months of Kelly's life after retiring from Hollywood and transitioning to a life with Monaco's Prince Rainier, was originally set to be released Nov. 27, a date ideal for Oscar season. It was rumored that Nicole Kidman's performance as Kelly in the biopic would place her in line for a possible Oscar for the Lead Actress category, but it seems like TWC might be nervous about the caliber of the film and its Oscar competition. Had the Weinsteins decided to release the film this fall, Kidman would have most likely gone up against other lead actress contenders such as Judi Dench (for Philomena), Meryl Streep (for August: Osage County), Cate Blanchett (for Blue Jasmine), Emma Thompson (for Saving Mr. Banks), and Sandra Bullock (for Gravity). A tough battle, to say the least.
The move to bump Grace of Monaco to Spring 2014 will position it as more of a commercial entry than an awards play: another sign that the film is relatively weak compared to other films coming out this fall. Until some unknown time in the spring, speculators of the film will just have to rely on the opinions of HitFix Awards Campaign editor Gregory Ellwood, who viewed some of scenes of the film at the Cannes Film Festival: "This sneak didn't convince anyone in the room that 'Grace' is anything more than a Kidman showcase (not yet, at least). Although, it certainly does look pretty. Is it a hit? That remains to be seen."

Should We Support 'Blue Is the Warmest Color'? The Toughest Ethical Dilemma of Fall 2013

The controversy around Blue is the Warmest Color, 2013 Palme d'Or winner and French coming-of-age film about a romance between two women, deepened recently with accusations against director Abdellatif Kechiche of emotional abuse by stars Lea Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos. This doesn't look good for Kechiche after crew members complained last May about unpaid work hours and grueling shoots that put the film over budget. This has prompted Kechiche to strike back, claiming he was never satisfied (with Seydoux particularly, as she has been vocal and adamant about the mistreatment), and the film should not be released. But, after a stunning showing at Cannes, the movie is coming out anyway, due on Oct. 25 in the US.
Hollywood is no stranger to allegedly unethical productions that earn esteem as classics (think of Apocalypse Now), but usually controversy arises after a film has been released. Only a rarefied few have seen Blue as of yet, and while their reviews are effusive, the behind the scenes drama seems to qualify these accolades a bit. It becomes troublesome to compliment the candor of the film's NC-17 worthy sex scenes if the actresses felt pressured to perform them or uncomfortable with how much they revealed. Likewise, the lengthy running time reflects just how many hours — potentially unpaid hours — crew members spent working on the set.
The film is ineligible for the Foreign Film Oscar this year, but, like last year's Amour, has the chance to compete among the English language films. Surely some voters who know about the controversy will hesitate before nominating Kechiche for Best Director. Is that fair, if Kechiche wrote and directed an outstanding story? Is supporting this film an act of confidence in the performers and encouragement to the crew that their work is being recognized? Or will it simply encourage distribution and production companies to dismiss on-set complaints and push directors to finish award-baiting films at all costs? Because regardless of what happened, pushing actors and crew members to the point of emotional distress is not the way to run a movie set. It remains to be seen what actually happened, but it doesn't sound like things will be settled any time soon. And until then, it's a tough choice — support a potentially unethical director or miss out on what sounds like one of the best films of the year. 

Supermodel, Supermom: 5 Reasons To Love Miranda Kerr

Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr was recently named one of the highest-paid models in the industry, second only to Gisele Bündchen. She is, for all intents and purposes, perfect. No, seriously. She's this beautiful woman, with a beautiful family (her hubby is Orlando Bloom and their son Flynn is adorable); she's making tons of money, and she somehow manages to come off completely and totally down-to-earth. Because of her commitment to spiritual and physical health, Miranda is constantly promoting both inner and outer beauty to her fans on her Instagram page. The divas of the world are fun, but Miranda Kerr is is something else. Here are five reasons you can't help but love the supermodel, super mom.
She Practices Buddhism
If you Google 'Miranda Kerr,' you will be bombarded with a gazillion images of her out and about in the streets of NYC, as photographed by the paparazzi. In these images you will never see her flipping off the paparazzi, or looking the least bit perturbed. Even with little baby Flynn on her hip, she literally always has a smile on her face. At first you might assume that it's because she's a model (and therefore camera-ready at all times), but Miranda's sweet disposition probably has more to do with the fact that she practices Nichiren Buddhism. Between her diet, meditation, and yoga routine it's no wonder this woman always appears to be at peace with the world.
The Hair Is Everything

Miranda has said that the secret to her flawless hair is coconut oil. Whatever it is, this Vine she posted on Instagram tells us that it's working over time.
Started Her Own Organic Makeup Line

The best news about Miranda Kerr is that you can totally, kinda look just like her if you hook yourself up with her products. KORA Organics is her makeup line, and of course the products are made using completely organic and natural ingredients.
She Has A Brilliant YouTube Series With NET-A-PORTER

Without a doubt, you will feel 100 times healthier just watching her Nutrition episode on The Body Beautiful series. Miranda is not just here to be a pretty face! She considers it her duty to spread the good word about healthy living.
She’s A Kid At Heart
Yes, she's one of the most beautiful people in the world and -- sadly -- that means she could get away with having no personality whatsoever. But check out that Vine! Nobody who laughs like that at a mini electronic helicopter is sans personality. She's awesome, and the fact that she's a kid at heart tells us that she's most likely an amazing mother as well.

Is The Cast of 'Big Bang Theory' Getting Greedy?

Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco and Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory may be holding out for higher per-episode payment, since the show is such a huge success. Parsons may have even more leverage with his winning another Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy Series. That may have been part of the reason he was nearly crying up there: "I'm gonna be even RICHER!"
The question is - and I know I'm inviting ridicule for even asking this about the machinations of Tinseltown - are they being too greedy? I don't necessarily think so.
We've been through this sort of thing before when the cast of Friends decided to do a united holdout to get leverage on NBC in terms of their negotiations. It's obvious that the Big Bang cast members would be drawing from that experience. It looks like they have the upper hand, since the show is a huge success, with the sixth season pulling in an average of nearly 17 million viewers an episode.
According to reports, Parsons and Galecki may be asking for as much as $1 million an episode. Right now they make $325,000 per episode. Yes, that would be quite a leap, but they could make a very strong argument that they deserve it. Let's just hope that Galecki is a lot more assertive than Leonard, his character on the show.
Yes, we're still in rather tough economic times, but for the most part, television and movie salaries, particularly those of its superstars, seem to be immune to that. Many of them are raking in seven-figure yearly salaries.
I might have felt bad for CBS in the past, but after I saw what they did in their negotiations with Time Warner Cable, I feel no pity. They have quite the deep coffers with their run of successful shows and their casts should be paid accordingly.
Besides, I always root for the geeks.

The Weirdest, Best News You'll Read Today: Eddie Izzard Will Run for Mayor of London

Just when you thought that politics couldn't possibly get any weirder, Eddie Izzard announced plans to run for Mayor of London in 2020. The actor and comedian made his intentions known during the annual Labor Party conference in London on Tuesday. Izzard has been a longtime supporter of the Labor Party and rumors of him possibly entering politics have been swirling for some time. He has reportedly opted out of competing in the 2016 elections, as there are already a number of experienced members of Parliament already in the running, in favor of the 2020 race.
While Izzard is most certainly not the first celebrity to make the move into politics, his decision to run for mayor has left us with a lot of questions. Questions like: is it possible to run a mayoral campaign on the platform "cake or death"? Will he be leaving showbusiness for good, or will he follow in Arnold Schwarzenegger's footsteps and go back to making movies once his term ends? What will happen to his Hannibal character? Will he ever embark on a stand up tour again? Who actually thought that Mockingbird Lane, NBC's failed Munsters reboot, was a good idea?
Finally, will he be any more ridiculous than the current Mayor of London, Boris Johnson? It's not an easy task. After all, Johnson has gotten stuck on a zip line, been quoted as say that the women's Olympic beach volleyball team "glistened like wet otters" and has a head of hair more insane than Donald Trump's. (And that's just been the past year!) But Izzard is a comedian, so we're sure he'll be able to come up with something.

BuzzWatch Video – Impossible Coincidences That Actually Happened

Most coincidences are minor, like enjoying the same flavored ice cream as a best friend, or rooting for the perpetually losing Chicago Cubs. There are, however, those odd similarities in life that seem too improbable to be true. For instance, did you know that 14 years before the unsinkable Titanic sank, an author named Morgan Robertson wrote a short novel chronicling a similar indestructible vessel's fateful voyage? Oh and by the way, the name of this particular ship was the Titan. Coincidence you say? Judge for yourself by checking out this new video posted by BuzzFeed.
 
Now if only someone could explain how Justin Bieber still has a career. That one still leaves me scratching my head.

Lincoln, Two Ways: Spielberg V. The Vampire Hunter

It's only natural the Obama presidency would trigger a national re-evaluation of race in America: we now have a counterweight to our shame about slavery. And what better way to articulate it than with tales of The Great Emancipator?
One year after Obama took office, Seth Grahame-Smith's Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter hit the bookshelves. By 2012, the film version of that historical mash-up was released, beating out Steven Spielberg's Lincoln by a few months. The latter was penned by a more intellectual writer, Tony Kushner. It was showered with accolades, and more than doubled the take of its supernatural sibling.
Makes sense, when you think about it. A film depicting our higher selves should entail high-culture storytelling. But where the historical version walked us to the edge, the pop version said out loud what we know to be true: slavery is colonial vampirism.
There's no point in being binary, I suppose. Films for the most part are pop culture, even historical ones. So we got to have it both ways, plain spoken and erudite. And why not? We deserve to bask in the story of this significant pivot away from our past.
Personally, I dug the dude with the axe.

Lorde's 'Pure Heroine' Is the Album Lana Del Rey Wishes She Made

Fans of Lorde, the 16-year-old pop star, have been eagerly awaiting her debut album since "Royals" started going viral. Luckily for them, the singer has made Pure Heroine available to stream via VH1 a week ahead of its September 30 release. Like her hit single, the album has enough electronic elements to help it sit comfortably on the charts, but the beats are all simple and pared-down, which helps give the album a more organic feel than the EDM-pop club bangers that have become so popular recently. Sonically, it gives off the impression that it could have been made in Lorde's bedroom, with some beats she put together herself, which perfectly compliments Lorde's anti-glamour pop star persona. The songs are distinctly undanceable, and her voice gives the lyrics the kind of longing that music about being a teenager requires.
To put it bluntly, Pure Heroine is the album that Lana Del Rey wishes she made. This isn't meant to provoke a debate about Del Rey's "authenticity" versus Lorde's — after all, all pop stars have cultivated personas, and where Del Rey is a trailer park Lolita, Lorde is the "realistic" pop star. However, where Born to Die was overproduced in places, layering echoes over strings over electronic beats, Pure Heroine's minimal production allows the songs to shine in a way that Del Rey's couldn't quite manage. Lorde also manages to make each song on her album distinct and unique, with which Del Rey had some trouble. Many of Lorde's songs are tinged with the same kind of longing found on Born to Die — which is probably a result of her being an actual teenager — but keeps it all from feeling one-note. It's almost as if Lorde took all of the things that were good from Del Rey's debut and fine-tuned them to create a better, more interesting result.
Lorde has also perfectly timed the release of her debut. In the upcoming months, there are several attention-grabbing albums coming out, including ones from Miley Cyrus (October 4), Katy Perry (October 22) and Lady Gaga (November 11). Not only does an earlier release guarantee Lorde the press she deserves, but it will give fans a chance to get acquainted with the songs before we're all bombarded with club banger after club banger. Lorde is establishing herself as the foil to the over-the-top pop divas of our time - through both her music and her personality - and people seeking something normal or relatable on the pop charts will flock to Pure Heroine.
The New Zealander has been quoted as saying that she wants to make something "real" that kids can relate to, and so far her desire for authenticity has served her well. There's sure to be at least two more hit singles off of Pure Heroine and hopefully Lorde's success will allow for more artists like her to break through to the mainstream. Either way, it seems like Lorde's quest for an anti-pop star is going to make her a genuine one.
You can stream Pure Heroine below, or purchase the album when it's released next week.

Celebrity Gladiators: Why We Love it When Hollywood Acts Out

Think of celebrities as our gladiator class: they step into the ring and do all sorts of stuff we'd never dream of doing ourselves. We watch through our fingers when they do, but we never look away. We love them as specimens, powerful in ways we could never be. We love them for being more perfect than we are. But we also love them when they're not.
It's not exactly Schadenfreude, the self-affirmation we feel when someone with every advantage fails. Okay, maybe we did delight in that Britney head-shaving, but there's something else in there, and it's not really about wanting them to feel bad. It's about us feeling good when we forgive them. It's reverse Schadenfreude, if you will, founded in our Puritan past.
So feel free to falter, Kardashians. Steal Taylor's spotlight, Kanye, we totally understand. And yes, Anne Heche, there really is a spaceship waiting to take you to heaven.
Let loose your grip Hollywood. We'll be there to catch you when you fall. And we'll be feeling fantastic about ourselves while we do.

Safety In Numbers: Is It Cooler to Get Offed With Your Crew?

Teens travel in packs. Every fool knows that. In fact, all of us like to be surrounded by our buds. It takes the sting off down time, and makes everything cooler. Except getting slashed by a psycho. Then a posse is no help at all. Sometimes they even make it worse.
All deference to the You’re Alone And Somebody’s In The House With You genre, we can't seem to get enough of teens getting killed in packs. And there's more than a little box office proof of it: Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and multiple Screams, for starters. Is it simply scarier, thinking there's safety in numbers and finding it isn't so? Or do we just like to see our teens separated from the herd, like gazelles?
Or is it a form of cultural revenge for pubescent pecking orders, like throwing a jock up against the lockers for a change or shaving a cheerleader's head? That’s how I see it.
So Nerds, unite. And throw a mini-festival for you and your art school pals, where teens get picked off from the crowd.

Arnold Schwarzenegger clicked kissing new girlfriend

Los Angeles: Amidst rumours of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger dating Heather Milligan, photographs of the duo kissing each other have emerged.
The 66-year-old was photographed kissing Milligan Sep 20 after a romantic dinner at Fig Restaurant in Fairmont Hotel, Santa Monica, reports tmz.com.
They arrived separately, but before leaving the actor slipped into Milligan`s car to give her a goodbye kiss as she got into her car.
`The Terminator` was married to Maria Shriver, but they filed for divorce in 2011 to end their 25-year marriage.

BOLLYWOOD UPDATES

Salman Khan, Karan Johar team up for a film?

Mumbai: Salman Khan and Karan Johar have certainly let bygones be bygones.
The two had worked together in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ way back in 1998. Karan had, by then, turned a very dear friend of SRK, who was Salman’s arch rival. And hence, Karan reportedly maintained distance from Salman.
Surprisingly, the ‘Dabangg’ superstar and KJo have been spotted bonding with each other in the recent times. They were seen sharing great camaraderie on the sets of a reality show and speculations are rife that the actor might make an appearance on the filmmaker’s talk show –‘Koffee with Karan’- which is all set to return on TV with its next season.
If the rumour mills are to be believed, then KJo is also planning to rope in Salman for his next. And if it turns out to be true, then it will be Johar’s second film with the ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ superstar.
Salman seems to be in a reconciliation spree. He took the initiative to greet Shah Rukh Khan by hugging him at Baba Siddiqui’s Iftaar party. He also extended an invitation to SRK to visit the sets of ‘Bigg Boss’ to promote his film. And King Khan was more than willing to make his presence felt on Salman’s show.
With Salman and SRK becoming friends again (we hope), can Karan plan a film with the two of them? ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai- Part II’ maybe?
What say?

Oscar report came as a surprise, says Nimrat Kaur

Mumbai: Actress Nimrat Kaur, who debuted with ‘The Lunchbox’, said the report that the film was being considered for an Oscar nomination came as a surprise.
"Our film was released on Friday and the news came out on Saturday... I was too distracted with the feedback we were getting for our film. The Oscar report came as a surprise, we were hoping for our best," Nimrat Kaur told reporters during the inauguration of 4th edition of Jagran film festival.
While ‘The Lunchbox’ was one of the strong contenders, it was Gujarati film ‘The Good Road’ that was eventually chosen as India`s official entry.
The actress said she is very happy with the positive response to her debut film.
"`Lunch Box` has gotten only better with each passing day. The box office report doesn`t matter as its my first film and I am more than happy with the response the film has garnered."
Directed by Ritesh Batra, ‘The Lunchbox’ features Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur in the lead.

Shraddha Kapoor wants to take music lessons, again

New Delhi: Actress Shraddha Kapoor has something more than just acting on her mind. The ‘Aashiqui 2’ actress wants to start taking music lessons again.
The 24-year-old, who took singing lessons in her childhood, decided to exercise her vocal skills after playing the role of singer Arohi in her debut movie ‘Aashqui 2’ opposite Aditya Roy Kapoor.
"I am really keen to start my music riyaz (practice) once again. Playing Arohi only reminded me how much I missed doing it," Shraddha said in a statement.
The actress will soon be seen in Punit Malhotra`s forthcoming movie ‘Gori Tere Pyaar Mein’.

UP activist moves court for ban on 'Ramleela'

Lucknow: A public interest litigation (PIL) was filed before the Allahabad High Court`s Lucknow bench Wednesday for a ban on Bollywood film ‘Ramleela’, releasing Nov 15, if its makers did not change its name.
In her petition, social activist Nutan Thakur said that Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s film has been given the name ‘Ramleela’ while it has nothing to do with this pious Hindu religious event.
Instead, the petitioner says, the film calls itself ‘Ram Leela of bullets’ and that the official trailer of the film shows abusive language and intimate scenes between film actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, which are far away from the religious connotations the word ‘Ramleela’ carries.
"The use of the word `Ram Leela` is hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus and hence either the film`s name should be changed or the film be banned," Thakur said.
She also added that she has sought a ban on promos and denial of certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) if the producer does not change the name of the film.
In Jaipur, a court Saturday directed police to register a case against Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and others for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of people in ‘Ramleela’, a lawyer said.
The orders came on a complaint filed by lawyer Pawan Sharma.

Prakash Raj to star in Hollywood project?

Chennai: Actor-filmmaker Prakash Raj has reportedly been roped in to play an important role in the Hollywood screen adaptation of Vikas Swarup`s ‘Six Suspects’, which is expected to go on floors March 2014.

The author`s debut book titled ‘Q&A’ was adapted into Oscar-winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ by Danny Boyle.
Meanwhile, Prakash Raj is busy shooting for his trilingual directorial project titled ‘Oggarane’ in Kannada, ‘Un Samayal Arrayal’ in Tamil and ‘Ulvacharu Biriyani’ in Telugu.

'Student Of The Year' cast reunites

Mumbai: Actors Sidharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, who got their big break in Bollywood with the 2012 movie ‘Student Of The Year’ (SOTY), came together to perform at an event.
The event took place Sep 22 in Hong Kong where all three actors enjoyed dancing to popular tracks from the movie such as ‘Radha teri chunri’, said a statement.

Sidharth will show grey shades in Ekta Kapoor`s upcoming project ‘The Villain’.

He seemed cheerful: Amitabh Bachchan on Dilip Kumar

Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says veteran actor Dilip Kumar was cheerful when he went to meet him in a hospital here.
The 90-year-old was admitted to Lilavati Hospital Sep 15 after suffering a mild heart attack. His health has improved and he has been shifted to a private room from the intensive care unit (ICU).
The “Mughal-E-Azam” actor is married to veteran actress Saira Banu.
"He seemed cheerful, at least when he saw me. Sairaji warned me that he had been quite irritable and non-cooperative throughout the day, and so to excuse any kind of untoward behaviour that he may dole out to me. But he was gracious and kind," Amitabh posted on his blog.
"But he smiled when he saw me and when I held his hand he gripped it like I would never be able to extricate myself from it … strong and full of strength," wrote Big B, who played Dilip Kumar`s rebellious son in the movie "Shakti".
According to a source, Dilip Kumar may be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days.
