Contagion Trailer Confirms Fear That Gwyneth Paltrow Will Cause Your Death

You always had a lurking suspicion that Gwyneth Paltrow would somehow be the death of you, though before today you assumed it would be the result of terminal eye rolling induced by a DVD of Country Strong, rather an unstoppable outbreak of the bird flu. Either way, now you can see your fear play out in real time in the new Contagion trailer, which has Paltrow turning up the sweaty jaundice as the first victim of a global pandemic that the CDC must race to contain. So basically it looks like Outbreak, but with an Academy Award-winning actress instead of a little escaped monkey.

Costarring Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet and Jude Law, the thriller is currently scheduled for release September 9 of this year. Of course, it’s not fair to place all the blame on a diseased Paltrow. As Jude puts it in the trailer, “No one has to weaponize the bird flu. The birds are doing that.” So really the film seems more like The Happening, but with pigeons instead of tress. We warned you: whatever you do, do not let your eyes start rolling. There’s not telling if they can ever be stopped!

Downey Jr. In Drag = We Will Be Seeing Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows

We’re already a sucker for anything involving smoking jackets, petticoats and pewter chalices, but combine it with good ol’ fashioned cross-dressing? You have yourself the holiday hit of the year right there. The Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows trailer promises all the karate chops and dry banter present in the first Sherlock Holmes film staring Robert Down Jr. and Jude Law, but just in case the American public wasn’t sold on the bad-assery inherent in an old-timey British detective series, the upcoming sequel also includes The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo‘s Noomi Rapace, a showdown with Holmes’ archnemisis Dr. Moriarty (we remember our Wishbone episodes), and what appears to be a slow-motion trains-plosion. We also suspect Downey in drag is a sly blue-eye-shadow-encrusted wink the Sherlock Holmes gay rumors swirling around the previous film. Elementary, my dear diva!

Stars On The AmFar Cinema Against Aids 2011 Red Carpet

This is the life! The eighteenth annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala took place yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival. The super schmancy event was held at the Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France and involved the usual — gowns and jewelry worth approximately three of our lifetimes! Kirsten Dunst showed up looking as fresh as a daisy, completely unaffected by the rumor that her nighttime partying kept Brangelina up all night.

Janet Jackson looked pretty svelte and rocked some bright blue nail polish! Irina Shayk showed up with a slit cut up till there, while cuties Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto snuggled up for the cameras. Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani added a bit of punk to the proceedings while old hands Goldie Hawn and Brooke Shields looked flawless in dull gold and white respectively. Join us in our envy by taking a look at the photos below. We’re making margaritas!

Uma Thurman Sports A Split At Cannes: Too Much Or Just Right?

Uma Thurman is getting high marks for the Versace dress she wore to the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, but most of the pics being shared show Uma with legs (and gown) closed. Is it because of how much thigh the center split of her gown showed otherwise? The dress definitely made her the belle of this year’s jury (Jude Law didn’t stand a chance!), but do you think fashion watchers are looking at this thing head-on?

See more shots of Uma in the gallery below.

Jude Law, Pamela Anderson, Gisele Bundchen And Tom Brady Lose Their Inhibitions At The Rio Carnival

It’s Carnival time down in Rio de Janeiro! That basically means inhibitions go right out of the window. A couple of celebrities have made their way down to Brazil and, by the looks of it, are having a pretty good time. Jude Law was spotted making out with a blonde, and although we can’t see her face in this picture, she definitely doesn’t look like she’s in her 20′s! Pamela Anderson has also been seen getting super comfortable with a mystery man, whose his hand on her butt most of the time (check out the gallery below).

Gisele Bundchen brought her husband Tom Brady to her native country as well, and they’ve not been shy of the PDA either. Gisele looked gorgeous as the Goddess of Love on one of the floats at the Sambadrome. She was also running around in a tiny bikini at her hotel a little earlier, and that woman’s bod is insane! Look through our gallery for all the action down in Brazil.

The Top Five Most Insanely Awkward Moments Of The 2011 Oscars


Tonight’s Academy Awards were extraordinary not just for the stunning gowns, the surging emotions, and Jennifer Hudson‘s shockingly teeny waist. Seriously, when did that woman become a walking toothpick? No, the most remarkable part of the show was the sheer number of times we stared at the screen in complete disbelief and yelled, “Whaaaaa?” From the skin-crawling to the unfunny, the obscene to the blundering, here are our top five picks for the most cringe-inducing moments at the 83rd Academy Awards (and there were a lot):

5) Melissa Leo drops the F-bomb: As adorable as it was to see a stunned Leo snag Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Fighter, hearing her develop a cause of pirate mouth in front of all those couture gowns almost made our monocle fall into our champagne flute. You ain’t Charlestown anymore, Leo!

4) The Ghost of Bob Hope introduces Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law: Bob Hope has been dead for almost eight years, and he still managed to be a funnier, more charming host than Franco or Hathaway. Not that it makes using a hologram of the deceased star any less creepy. In fact, we were so weirded out by Zombie Bob Hope, we almost couldn’t enjoy the smoking hot Jude zinging the equally gorgeous Robert. Obviously we did, but still, it shouldn’t have been that hard.

Has Jude Law Really Become That Toxic?

It finally happened, guys. Jude Law‘s become so toxic that he has to walk around wearing a biohazard suit. Ok, we’re kidding, it’s for his new movie Contagion which is currently filming in San Fransisco. Which, BTW, sounds just charming with a name like that.

We remember when we couldn’t get enough of Jude. He was our gorgeous golden boy, in an era that peaked right around The Talented Mr. Ripley. But then he became the guy who cheated on his wife (Sadie Frost) with the nanny, started fathering children with other women, and began a joyless on again-off again relationship with Sienna Miller, with their second engagement going kaput (again). Oh, and he cheated on her too. Does he really blame us for thinking he’s toxic? Wear the suit, Jude. It fits. [Photos: Splash News Online]

Jude Law And Sienna Miller Break It Off: Round 2

We associate Sienna Miller and Jude Law with their famously bad break-up in 2006 so much, we could barely recall that they got back together again at the end of 2009. You know, right after Jude had a baby with another woman? Well, now we never have to remember that they’re still dating, because Jude Law and Sienna Miller have split up…again. “It is mutual and amicable and they are still friends,” a mutual friend told People. Flirty nannies of the world, polish up your resumes. Jude is back on the prowl!

Law and Miller originally broke up after Jude famously slept with his kids’ nanny, despite begin engaged to Sienna as of Christmas 2004. We guess we can say that rumors of Sienna and Jude’s wedding plans are now conclusively untrue. “I can confirm that Jude Law and Sienna Miller are no longer in a relationship,” Jude’s rep reports. We wish we could Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind ourselves and forget that they tried to beat their dead horse of a relationship for another year. Probably so do Sienna and Jude, if we had to guess.

Someone Stole Mel Gibson’s Copy Of The Beaver!

Looks like someone couldn’t wait two months to see Mel Gibson‘s The Beaver. Police are investigating the disappearance of a DVD copy of the film, due in late March, that Summit Entertainment gave to the actor. Mel reportedly placed the disc in his mailbox this morning for a messenger to take back to the studio, only to have it go missing before the staffer arrived. Look on the bright side guys, must be nice to know after all Mel’s abuse drama that at least one person is anticipating the Jodie Foster-directed flick.

One person we can probably take off the suspect list is Jude Law. According to the Enquirer, Law is upset that his Sherlock Holmes 2 co-star Robert Downey Jr. still claims to “love” Gibson despite his violent, racist outbursts (Gibson produced—and paid the insurance bond for—The Singing Detective, RDJ’s first film after his notorious meltdown). RumorFix got Robert’s rep to slap the rumor (“Robert and Jude are still sleeping together. Sorry to disappoint the Enquirer”), but after Mel’s Hangover 2 cameo controversy, it wouldn’t be the first sign that Hollywood is having a civil war over Mel.
