Michael Jackson’s This Is It
Michael Jackson’s This Is It is documentary-concert film directed by Ortega. It documents Jackson’s rehearsals and preparation for the concert series, Michael Jackson’s This Is It. The series is cancelled June 25th due to Jackson’s death and it is the last film he starred in. Jackson’s family tried to stop the movie from being released. La Toya:
Michael always wants to give his best. This is a rehearsal. He wasn’t giving his all. He loves to give his all always. That’s just the way he is. He wants people to see him at the top of the ladder and not half-stepping because he doesn’t want to do a full-out rehearsal.
If I Aint Got You performance
Keys performs If I Ain’t Got You at the Grammy Awards from the album The Diary of Alicia Keys.
New York, I Love You
Portman plays Rifka in the 2009 romantic-comedy anthology New York, I Love You. The film consists of 11 short films and features an all-star cast with some of the biggest names in Hollywood such as: Bradley Cooper, Ethan Hawke, Andy Garcia, and Orlando Bloom. Set in New York City, each short portrays love and romance in its own individual way.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Waits plays the devil, Mr. Nick, in Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, a role that Gilliam says he was “born to play.” Doctor Parnassus and his sideshow troupe promise their audience a trip to “The Imaginarium,” where dreams come true. He pledges to give his daughter Valentina to the devil on her 16th birthday, in return for loving a mortal woman. The time is near and they work to save her from her fate. Co-starring Christopher Plummer, Lily Cole, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell.
Gilliam and I met on Fisher King. He is a giant among men and I am in awe of his films. [The Adventures of Baron] Munchausen I’ve seen a hundred times. Brazil is a crowning achievement. Brothers Grimm was my favorite film last year. I had most of my scenes with Christopher Plummer (He’s Dr. Parnassus). Plummer is one of the greatest actors on earth! Mostly I watch and learn. He’s a real movie star and a gentleman. Gilliam is an impresario, captain, magician, a dictator (a nice one), a genius, and a man you’d want in the boat with you at the end of the world.
Surrogates
Pike plays the character Maggie Greer in Jonathan Mostow’s adaptation of the sci fi-action comics by Top Shelf Productions. In a futuristic world where humans live their lives through surrogates, Maggie and her husband, FBI agent Tom Greer, interact virtually. Tom investigates the death of two surrogates and uncovers a government plot, eventually freeing humans from the surrogate world. Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, Boris Kodjoe, Ving Rhames and James Cromwell co-star.
It’s a very real story about a man, Greer, having an existential crisis about what it means to be human.
Spotlight performance
Hudson performs Spotlight on the Today Show from the album Jennifer Hudson.
The Rebound
Zeta-Jones plays Sandy in the romantic comedy The Rebound. After finding her husband’s sex-tape with another woman, Sandy moves to an apartment in the city. Her new neighbor has recently separated from his wife as well, and the two hit it off. As things get serious, they question if their feelings are true, or if each of them are just rebounds from their failed marriages. Co-starring Justin Bartha.
I’ve been looking for a while for a comedy. I love comedy, I always love when I have a chance to do some comedy. Not that I can tell a joke beginning to end, but if the writing’s one the page, I always enjoy that.
Guest judge
Conrad is a guest judge on cycle 13 of America’s Next Top Model. Conrad is only signed on the judges panel for one show in the contest series and said she might considered hosting a show of her own in the future.
I wouldn’t do a show like The Hills. Nothing with my personal life, but possibly something hosting. I think I have a little bit of time to figure out what I’m going to do next.
Stay Cool
Duff stars in film Stay Cool with costars Winona Ryder, Mark Polish and Jon Cryer. The movie follows author Henry—played by Polish—who reunites with an old high school flame Scarlett—played by Ryder—in his hometown to give a commencement speech. Duff’s character Shasta O’Neil tries to weasel her way into Henry’s love life by inviting him to her prom.
She (Shasta) is a very normal girl. She is a high school student graduating, but she is really spunky and kind of larger than life and she’s a huge flirt. That’s not really me in real life so it was fun to get to do.
Surrogates
In this science fiction drama, Willis plays CIA Agent Tom Greer who investigates the first murder in years in his futuristic, utopian community. All the residents live life via remote controlled robot “surrogate” selves, and Willis has to work as his real self after his surrogate is destroyed along with a string of others. Directed by Jonathan Mostow. On doing his own stunts for the film:
One of my favorite shots in the film is where I get impacted by a car – very startling.
Hosts MTV Video Music Awards
Brand hosts the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards for the second time in a row. The event, held at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, features a Michael Jackson video montage as tribute to the King of Pop, who died a few months before. The show includes performances by Kanye West, Rihanna, T.I., and Taylor Swift. West infamously interrupts Swift’s acceptance speech for her Best Female Video award to express his opinion that Beyoncé should have won. On his plan for the event:
This year will be a controversy-free festival of love and discreet orgasms.
Whiteout
Beckinsale plays Carrie Stetko, a U.S. marshal assigned to a desolate research base on the Antarctica. Days before Stetko’s retirement, members of the research team are mysteriously murdered. With an impending storm and months of darkness setting in, the marshal is in a chilling race against time to find the killer.
I have been surprised by the fact that I’m able to do these kind of roles, because it’s not how I’m really like in real life. And it certainly wasn’t what I ever anticipated when I decided to become an actress.
