Marissa Tomei looks better than ever! At 44, the Oscar winning actress has found clothing that reflects her quirkiness without looking kooky and makeup that flatters her. If you’ve seen The Wrestler or Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead, you’ve seen that Tomei has kept up appearances below the neck too. You can see the progression the Brooklyn native has made from 1993 to 2008 above. See more Tomei then and now here.

Great Roles Wanted For Heather Graham!

American actress Heather Graham attends the second day of the 13th Annual Capri Hollywood International Film Festival on December 28, 2008 in Capri, Italy.  I love Heather Graham’s face and hair and figure etc and who can argue that she an amazing specimen of a woman at 38?    We see pictures of her at film festivals, parties, fashion shows and premieres but what has this classical beauty been up to?  She is “in the red” at IMDB with a handful of projects in the works; The Hangover , Boogie-Woogie, Ex-Terminators and Son of Mourning, all of which, I hate to say, look a little underwhelming.  She started her career doing interesting projects like Twin Peaks, Drugstore Cowboy and Boogie Nights.  Where are those roles now?  I’d love to see Heather in some heavy projects.  What do you see her doing?

Season For Charity And Parody

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

It’s been 23 years since a super group of pop stars including Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson and Tina Turner formed to lay down the self-described historic recording “We Are The World“  as “USA for Africa”.  As well as inspiring Live Aid, Farm Aid and countless other charitable platforms for mega music stars, the bloated project has been parodied on every continent from the beginning.  Some of the better known spoofs have been done by on In Living Color, and Saturday Night Live, but Japanese television has taken a straight emulation to new heights.  This week, PitchforkTV debuts Tim Harrington’s stab at the charity parody genre with a ridiculously catchy song about “giving cash to all the trust fund children”.

Harrington, member of Les Savy Fav and Pitchfork TV “Beardo” host enlisted a crew of indie musicians and friends including Andrew W.K., Fred Armisen (Trenchmouth), Moby, Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem, the New Pornographers’ Carl Newman, Ian Svenonius (Nation of Ulysses, The Make Up, Weird War),  Okkervil River’s Will Sheff, actress Amy Carlson (Third Watch/Law & Order), Oliver Ackermann of A Place to Bury Strangers, Gavin McInnes (Street Carnage/ex-VICE), comedian Seth Herzog, plus members of Love as Laughter, Excepter, Cheeseburger, and Panthers to participate in this tongue in cheek critique with high production value and discreet charm.  Watch the video here.

Yes Ma’am

Though Jim Carrey was the man of the hour, on hand for the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Yes Man’ in which he stars, it was his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, who stole the spotlight in a glamorous curled hairdo and curve grazing dress.  McCarthy and Carrey’s blue on black ensembles complimented each other as much as their chiseled good looks and comedic sense do.  The old Hollywood take on beauty reigns on the red carpet these days and McCarthy proves she can wear the aesthetic well.
