spike jonze directs a skeleton love story

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

Spike Jonze has collaborated with designer Olympia Le Tan (who creates those ingenius “book bags”) on a new short film titled Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side).

The stop-motion piece is created from over 3,000 pieces of handcut felt and follows a skeleton on his doomed love affair.

It’s clever, adorable, and is guaranteed to brighten up your Thursday.

Watch it above!

Happy birthday, Mia Wasikowska!

ds The star of Alice in Wonderland, The Kids Are Alright, and Restless turns 22 today.

Next up for the Aussie actress?

We can see her in the period movie Albert Nobbs, set in 19th century Ireland and costarring Glenn Close and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (watch the trailer here).

Plus, in other exciting Mia-related news, we hear that The Kids Are Alright is getting the TV treatment from HBO.

And although it’s doubtful that she’ll be reclaiming her role as Joni, we still can’t wait to watch.

Needless to say, we’ll be seeing much more from Mia soon….so get excited.

Is Blair in Ugg Boots?

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

boots Who: Blair Waldorf (a.k.a. Leighton Meester on set)

When: This Morning

Wearing: Jimmy Choo for UGG.

Why: We have no idea.

Everything from the blue bowler’s hat to the patent leather Chanel bag screams Blair- everything, except those silver and gold studded UGG Boots…

Maybe they were in between scenes and she’s about to slip on a pair of Louboutins?

Or, are UGGs (Jimmy Choo or not) about to make a comeback?

This just can’t be true.

Someone, anyone, please offer clarity.

Okay, so we all know what the Olsen twins looked like as kids…

But what about everyone else?

When They Were Young is a goldmine of rare celeb photographs (many we’ve never seen before),
including Jessica Alba’s prom photo and Martha Stewart (mid-twenties) in a bathing suit.

Interested? Yeah, we thought you might be.

ds The actor turns 28 today.

If you want to celebrate by watching one of his movies but you’re sick of The Squid and the Whale, Adventureland, or The Social Network, you’re in luck- his new film 30 Minutes or Less just hit theaters.

Next up, we can catch him in the indie dramedy Free Samples and the comedy The Bop Decameron, also starring Woody Allen, Ellen Page, and Alec Baldwin.

Want more Jesse?

We don’t really blame you.

Check out excerpts from his NYLON Guys interview and cover shoot here.

The actress turns 35 today.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been 16 years since she won us over in Clueless (she was 19 when she filmed the movie).

And although she’s scored dozens of roles since then, let’s face it: she’ll always be Cher to us.

So in honor of the occasion, we’ll be watching this, probably shopping for one of these, and wishing that we too were driving around Beverly Hills with Josh.


Sneak Peek: Kristen Stewart As Snow White

Bye-Bye Bella Swan… Hello, Snow White.

Check out Kristen Stewart on the set of her latest gig, Snow White and the Huntsman.

While we’re sure the flick will be very different than the vampire trilogy,
there’s something about a disheveled K.S. staring intensely at a horse that looks like it could be straight out of a Catherine Hardwick plot.

See what we mean?

It might still be in production, but we’re already counting down the days until we can watch the new film Teenage.

Inspired by the eponymous book by Matt Savage, this movie takes a look at the concept of “teenage-dom” from the flappers to the hipsters to the swing kids, all the way up to current day.

Watch it above and find out more about the project here, and you’ll see why we can’t wait.
