Cate Blanchett may be a fashion icon on the red carpet and a chameleon when it comes to played such roles such as Queen Elizabeth and Bob Dylan, but in her real life the actress is a mom who loves the daily chore of vacuuming!
“I enjoy vacuuming,” Cate told People at the Giorgio Armani/Ristorante dinner party in New York City this week in honor of welcoming the Sydney Theatre Company to the Big Apple for their production of A Streetcar Named Desire. “It’s a very satisfying noise when you hear all that grit sucked »

9 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The revival of a Sondheim musical with a very British flavour lures recession-hit New York audiences back to the theatre
She made her stage debut as the lead in Annie at the Swansea Grand Theatre at 12. Now, 28 years later, the Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones is again treading the boards, although in slightly more grandiose surroundings.
Zeta-Jones, 40, will make her first appearance on Broadway next month when the curtain goes up on Sir Trevor Nunn's eagerly awaited revival of the Stephen Sondheim musical A Little Night Music. Preview performances at the Walter Kerr theatre began last week in advance of the opening night on 13 December and tickets, which are being sold on eBay for as much as $300, are like gold dust.
In the production Zeta-Jones, who plays the part of a flamboyant actress called Desiree Armfeldt, sings one of Sondheim's most famous songs, "Send in the Clowns". Although there have »

First Diamond trailer
25 November 2009 6:40 AM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
This is a rather interesting tale of a lost script written by a famed playwright over forty years ago, a project that is just now seeing the light of day. For those of us young enough to think Tennessee Williams is a brand of whiskey, he's actually a hugely famous writer who penned A Streetcar Named Desire and Baby Doll, both of which landed him Oscar nominations. Both were collaborations with director Elia Kazan, and The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond was meant to be a third venture, but for... »

Lost Tennessee Williams Project Reborn
25 November 2009 3:30 AM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
There's a baffling lack of fanfare here for something this long in coming. Filming wrapped on The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond in 2008, the first new production of a Tennessee Williams screenplay in 40 years, with a strong cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Evans, Ellen Burstyn and Ann-Margret, yet it's only being released in the States at the end of the year.According to Coming Soon, Williams was due to hand the script over to his A Streetcar Named Desire and Pretty Baby director Elia Kazan, but Kazan moved onto other projects. The script follows Mississippi socialite Fisher Willow (Dallas Howard), who in trying to get one-up on her corruptive and greedy father, hires her father's employ Jimmy (Chris Evans) to be her escort to a swish family party, which she has to attend if she stands any chance of inheriting money.

Colin Firth, Julianne Moore in A Single Man, directed by Tom Ford What’s a "gay movie"? Brokeback Mountain? Midnight Cowboy? What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Milk? Top Gun? Lukas Licks Lodz? Something directed by a gay man, say, The Philadelphia Story or Midnight or a couple of the biggest action blockbusters made in the last decade or so? Something written for the screen by a gay man, say, A Streetcar Named Desire or The Innocents? Something based on a book or play or short story or poem written by a gay man, say, Brief Encounter or In Cold Blood? Something starring a gay man, say, the 1925 Ben-Hur or Giant? If you think about it, the label "gay movie" is pretty meaningless. [...] »

Weisz Picks Up Richardson Theatre Award
24 November 2009 12:16 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Rachel Weisz has become the first actress to win an acting award named after the late Natasha Richardson at a prizegiving recognising the best in London theatre.
The Mummy star received the Natasha Richardson Best Actress trophy for her part in West End play A Streetcar Named Desire at a ceremony hosted by the London Evening Standard newspaper on Monday.
The coveted prize has been renamed to honour Liam Neeson's wife, who died following a tragic skiing accident in Montreal, Canada in March.
Richardson's mother, veteran performer Vanessa Redgrave, was on hand to present the trophy to Weisz.
Accepting the award, Weisz said, "It is even more of an honour because this is the first year that the award has been named after the great and much, much-loved Natasha Richardson."
Sir Ian McKellen was also given a special award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to British theatre throughout his 50-year career. »
Rachel Weisz Dishes on ‘Delicious’ Motherhood

Courtesy Redbook
In the December issue of Redbook, Rachel Weisz opens up extensively about son Henry Chance, 3, and fiancé Darren Aronofsky.
Although the 39-year-old actress calls motherhood “delicious,” describes Henry as “scrumptious,” and proclaims she’s “never been happier,” she is refreshingly candid about the broad spectrum of emotions that follow the birth of a baby.
“I think one of the things that moms aren’t allowed to talk about enough to one another … is the times when you’re pulling your hair out at home with the kids,” she says.
“Those moments when everything is crashing in and you »

"Dare" is Daring, But Could Be Bolder With Gay Theme

(L to r) Ashley Springer, Emmy Rossum and Zach Gilford in Dare
One of the great lessons of adulthood is that adolescence sucks for pretty much everyone. Whether you’re the nerd working the lights for the drama club, the golden boy with the big house and the often-absent parents or the Type-a, hard-working good girl, the teen years are a nightmare of self-doubt, identity confusion and hormonal imbalances.
Writer David Brind and director Adam Salky don’t sugarcoat adolescent anxiety in Dare, their new feature based on their short film of the same name, even though the action plays out in a leafy suburb populated with spacious, well-appointed homes.
The film’s central triangle involves Alexa (Emmy Rossum), who’s got aspirations of being an actress; nerdy Ben (Ashley Springer), her lifelong pal who’s otherwise a friendless loner; and handsome Johnny (Zach Gilford, Friday Night Lights), whose encounter »

• Tony and Pulitzer prize winner "August: Osage County" landed on Monday's short list for the Evening Standard awards honoring the best of West End theater. Also vying for the top prize of best play are "Enron," "Jerusalem" and "Punk Rock." Deanna Dunagan earned a nod for recreating her Tony-winning performance as a manic matriarch in "August" and competes against three British talents -- Penny Downie ("Helen"), Juliet Stevenson ("Duet for One") and Rachel Weisz ("A Streetcar Named Desire"). Unlike the Oliviers in the spring which are akin to the Tony Awards, these prizes sponsored by London's top-selling local paper focus primarily on plays. The awards -- judged by a panel of theater critics --... »
