'House' Star Olivia Wilde Says Filming 'Fix' Was 'Labor Of Love'

20 November 2009 9:25 AM, PST | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »

Pulling off TV role while shooting film with director husband required 'herculean effort,' actress says.

It was 2007 and Olivia Wilde had just been cast as a bisexual doc on "House," a juicy role on a hit show following a run on the short-lived NBC series "The Black Donnellys" and another bisexual turn on "The O.C." The job was a huge break for the actress — it would lead to a vastly raised public profile and the top spot in the Maxim Hot 100 — but the new work also came at a tricky time: She was about to start filming "Fix," a movie she couldn't exactly bail on considering her husband, Tao Ruspoli, was the director.

"I would do 'House' five days a week and we would do 'Fix' on the weekend and any random day off I might get, »

Bilson Plans Family Life Far From Hollywood

17 November 2009 5:46 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actress Rachel Bilson has threatened to quit Hollywood and live out her days in the middle of nowhere when she becomes a mum.

The former The O.C. star currently spends time in Los Angeles and boyfriend Hayden Christensen's remote Canada farm, and she insists she'll give up life in Tinseltown altogether if she discovers she's pregnant.

Bilson says, "When I'm older I really want a family - probably off somewhere really remote. I want to raise my kids where they don't know what a camera following them is like.

"I have a seven-year-old sister so aware of paparazzi it's unbelievable. It's too weird for me."

Bilson has another very good reason to leave Hollywood behind - her home was ransacked by thieves earlier this year. It's believed the actress was a target of the so-called Burglar Bunch, who also raided the homes of Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge and Lindsay Lohan. »

Barton's Show Could Have 'Life' Yet

17 November 2009 1:56 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Mischa Barton's cancelled TV show is coming back from the dead - bosses behind The Beautiful Life are planning to air the axed episodes next year.

The former The O.C. star signed on to Ashton Kutcher's modelling drama earlier this year, but the series was scrapped by U.S. network The CW in September after just two episodes, due to poor ratings.

Now TV bosses are planning to resurrect the programme by airing the remaining shows next summer.

A statement from show spokesman Paul McGuire reads, "We have somewhat good news. The CW will plan 2 (sic) air the remaining episodes of The Beautiful Life (this summer). The bad news is there is still no plans of renewing ‘The Beautiful Life.’ But that might change during the months, or this year. The status of unaired episodes has yet to be determined." »

Dear 'Gossip Girl', What Happened To You?

5 November 2009 5:42 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

While I was debating on whether or not to write a Dear John letter to Gossip Girl and the Gossip Girl writing staff, someone beat me to it and now I have to say my piece.

Out of Touch

Let's face it. Gossip Girl is not what it was during its first season. Blair is a complete cartoon, there are way too many guest stars in the show that already has nine people in the cast and there is little to any group activity among the core cast. With the latter, I don't mean that they have to get buddy buddy ala the Saved By The Bell gang, but if everyone is off dealing with their guest star lover of the moment then how can the characters ever interact with each other?

The same thing happened with The O.C. during it's second and third seasons. In an attempt to keep Marissa and Ryan together, »

Jason DeRulo's 'Whatcha Say' Tops The Billboard Hot 100

5 November 2009 8:14 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

After the Black Eyed Peas took up permanent residence at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for most of the first part of the year, the recent weeks have been wide open, allowing a number of interesting and esoteric tracks to make their way to the top of the heap. Last week saw Owl City's "Fireflies" take the pole position, and this week sees Jason DeRulo's "Whatcha Say" as the top song in the country. DeRulo becomes the fourth artist this year to top the chart with a debut single, Lady Gaga ("Just Dance"), Jay Sean ("Down") and the aforementioned Owl City. (Of course, coupled with the recent chart surge and the New York Yankees' World Series victory, Jay-z's "Empire State of Mind" will probably topple it next week.)

"Whatcha Say" is a pretty unlikely chart-topper. The tune is built around a sample of Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek, »

3 November 2009 12:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Mischa Barton was left spooked during her Halloween festivities at the weekend (Sat31Oct09) - after a fellow clubgoer threw a drink over her.

The former The O.C. actress was partying in New York on All Hallows' Eve when she was soaked by a man who claimed the star had trodden on his foot.

According to RadarOnline.com, the actress retaliated by dousing the rude reveller with her own beverage.

But the upset didn't stop there - the website claims Barton's protective pal approached the guy and the confrontation turned nasty, with the pair brawling in the bar.

A source tells the site the man was eventually ejected from the venue with a "a gash to his head and his knee was all cut up".

A rep for the actress has refused to comment on the reports. »

Take That, NBC! TNT Picks Up Southland

Update, 9:12 a.m.: A rep for TNT just told us: "As with all of our series, TNT will evaluate the performance of Southland before deciding whether to order more episodes." ________ Anyone who watched the final season of The O.C. knows that Benjamin McKenzie is a true (hot, sweaty and scantily clad) fighter. And now his new, much-ballyhooed police drama Southland is living to fight another day. A TNT rep just confirmed to us that the cable network has picked up NBC's not-so-sloppy seconds and will air Southland in the new year. The series, from ER's John Wells and also starring Regina King and Tom Everett Scott, received acclaim from critics and fans alike before NBC pulled the plug... »

Christine Woods talks about her newly outed lesbian role on "FlashForward"

30 October 2009 11:30 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

I didn’t think it was possible for a lesbian character to look so good in a power suit since Bette Porter, but Christine Woods has proven me wrong. This week, Woods spoke to The Advocate about her (awesome) initiation into primetime, major network lesbianhood as Janis Hawk, the federal agent star of ABC’s new drama FlashForward.

Woods is more than enthusiastic to be playing a lesbian for the first time in her career and pushing the limits of her acting experience. She describes Janis as a “tough broad” who “holds her own” in her predominantly male FBI squad based in La.

About playing gay for the first time, Woods gushes, “I love it,” and applauds ABC for having “some really great gay characters on a lot of their shows.”

Hmmm, I don’t know if they deserve that much applause — a certain platonic Calzona relationship and firing Dr. »

Listen: the Twilight: New Moon Soundtrack

26 October 2009 3:00 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »

Days away from Halloween, the best PR tool for the next installment of the Twilight series - the New Moon soundtrack - debuts at #2 on Billboard's Top 200. Mass hysteria doesn't tend to accompany official movie soundtracks in these days of getting your music for free, but nevertheless, Twilight-magic prevailed, with tens of thousands of Twi-hards rushing to download this album in preparation for The Twilight Saga: New Moon mania. For this go-round, famed music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas (Grey's Anatomy, The O.C.) put together a perfect collection of songs and artists to usher any indie music aficionado into the dreary Fall doldrums. Hordes of Bella (Kristen Stewart) wannabes are already playing the soundtrack on loop, having sympathy pains for the loss of their Edwards (Robert Pattinson). 'Meet Me at the Equinox' is a perfect song for all that sympathy sorrow. This original* Death Cab for Cutie ballad, the first single off the record, »

Bilson's Fashion Idols

22 October 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Rachel Bilson has avoided becoming a fashion victim - by taking clothing tips from Ashley Olsen and Sienna Miller.

The former The O.C. star launched her own clothing line, Edie Rose, with Dkny Jeans last year.

However, Bilson admits she still studies the looks of other starlets before stepping out on the red carpet.

She tells People.com, "I really look up to a lot of my peers and how they dress. I love to admire other people. Ashley Olsen I think is great, Diane Kruger, Sienna Miller - all those people obviously have good style, so it's nice to see that around you. Your peers surround

you, and they all look good, so that's great." »
