Cate Blanchett, whose new lesbian-themed film Carol will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, reveals she’s had a few lady lovers herself.
Even when performing the material of other entertainers Sia kills it, as she proves with this cover of “California Dreamin'” for the upcoming disaster epic San Andreas.
If you’ve dreamed of Darren Criss planting a smooch on you, keep dreaming — literally. While playing Hedwig on Broadway, the actor sometimes finds a distracted audience member to make out with when his characters wanders offstage.
Even Britney Spears‘ most loyal fans will have a hard time defending her lazy work in the video for her duet with Iggy Azalea, “Pretty Girls,” which is a rip off homage to the ’80s comedy Earth Girls Are Easy. As Gawker puts it: “She just sings what they tell her, doesn’t ask questions, and tries her best just to get through it all.”
Are you ready to rock out with the film adaptation of Jem and the Holograms? Not so much? Same here.

Everybody dies, apparently even luscious Tyler Posey in the upcoming MTV series Scream.
The common wisdom that Meryl Streep can do anything is tested once again with her role as a faded rock star in the upcoming comedy Ricki and the Flash which reunites her with Sophie’s Choice costar Kevin Kline. Director Jonathan Demme has already spilled that Streep can out-sing Gaga on her “Bad Romance” cover and the trailer proves the three-time Oscar-winning actress can even wring laughs from a bad joke about gray pubes.
Amy Schumer is now the worst nightmare of every vapid actress working today. Bless her!
You’ve probably already watched several red carpet interviews from last weekend’s GLAAD Media Awards, but you’ve likely never seen anything like Mike Diamond‘s interview technique.

The only painful thing about that Britney video was Iggy Azalea.

Agreed.
Britney looked great. Iggy = Boring whateves.

Jem had the opportunity to be a real kick ass movie that mixed edgy pop music (though it’d be way better if they did rock), sci-fi, action, romance, and adventure while managing to mix in the girl power message.
Instead it looks like Josie and the Pussycats meets Hannah Montana, based on the life and times of Kesha, wrapped in an overly saccharin package.

Cate Blanchett is a bit of an attention-seeker. I don’t like her. Some might say that she comes across as somewhat homophobic in what she said. There are just too many lesbians who sell out by attaching themselves to men simply for the purpose of bearing children.
Because women don’t need to be aroused to have sex, it’s very easy for them to attach themselves to men they don’t really want to be with.

Guys, read the original quotes with Cate. What actually happened was the interviewer asked her if she had had “relationships” with women, and she dryly replied that she had “many times.” No further explanation. Honestly, it sounds like she was mocking the interviewer, since they stupidly assumed that the only “relationship” a woman could have with another woman is a sexual one.
Either way, a lot of the criticism of her comes across as biphobic, to be honest. “OMG she’s married to a man, she must be lying!”

@jason smeds: Whether they want to be with them or not, women have that choice: men being what they are.
And yet not even a homeless crack addict will touch you with oven gloves.
Go figure.

Oh wow! I’d go see “Carol” having read the book by Patricia Highsmith (“Talented Mr. Ripley”, “Strangers on a Train”) upon which it based.
The book, originally titled “The Price of Salt” I think was written before “Strangers” but published after to capitalize on Highsmith’s success. The lesbian theme, though, was so controversial at the time (1950’s), it was published under the pseudonym Claire Morgan. In fact, the book itself was inspired by a fleeting encounter Patricia Highsmith had as a salesgirl at Macy’s or Gimbel’s or something. Sadly, she never saw the elegant lady she served again. I think I recall Highsmith sort of stalked her, driving out of New York to whatever suburban town where the lady lived just to drive past her house.
Huge Highsmith fan here. Grumpy and misanthropic, kind of like me. Her short stories are things I re-read from time to time, just when I need a little shudder; for the most part her writing is very dark and unhappy. Damn, now I wish I’d brought some of those books with me.
