Lindsay Lohan Confirmed For Lifetime Movie

Before Monday, Lindsay Lohan had signed no contracts tying her to Liz & Dick; Lifetime’s Elizabeth Taylor biopic. In fact, Lohan has a habit of declaring herself the front-runner for roles and tying herself to projects to which she’s not even signed. She did it with Gotti: Three Generations. And she did similar with Inferno; shooting unofficial posters with Tyler Shields, two-years before principle photography began. Usually, the shilling gets her nowhere. But this time it landed her a titular role. Lohan issued a statement: ‘I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.’ Rob Sharenow, Lifetime’s vice president of programming, adds: ‘We are thrilled Lindsay will portray beloved Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor. She is one of the rare actresses who possesses the talent, beauty and intrigue to capture the spirit of such a provocative icon.’

Captain America Got Laid Once In High School

Chris Evans recalled last week that he asked his mother how best to please a woman in bed, only to jokingly concede that it didn’t really matter anymore because he got famous. In a new interview with Playboy, Evans admits that he wasn’t very smooth in high school either. That is, he wouldn’t have lost his virginity until he was old enough to drink. Except for what seems like a pity lay. That happened ‘one time and only one time.’ During 20 Questions, Evans said he was a late bloomer who didn’t have much luck with women: ‘Look at pictures of me growing up. It wasn’t always the way it is now. It was a bumpy road for me. There were kids doing a lot more than I was in high school. I just wasn’t there, I guess. I lost my virginity senior year. It happened one time and only one time.’

Scarlett Johansson Was Nude Under The Catsuit

I somehow missed this from yesterday’s quotes because killer breasts are srs bsns from which I should be fired. Still talking about her Black Widow costume, Scarlett Johansson reveals she was nude under the same catsuit shredded in battle. Asked about the challenges of filming in the suit, she recalled: ‘Everybody on the film has their own uncomfortable costume situation. It’s like 800° in mine. And it’s a one-piece and I have nothing underneath it.’ Asked how everyone else stayed comfortable in their garb, she continued: ‘[The costumes were] very surreal. It was kind of an out-of-body experience. Like a dress-up, but to the extreme. Everybody looks incredibly uncomfortable until the cameras are rolling. Then we all look badass. And when the Avengers assemble, it feels like being a little kid. Then, cut! And we’re all like, ‘Arrgh, God, get this thing off me.’ As soon as everything is cut, everything comes off. All our costumes are unzipped, some air conditioning venting unit goes in, someone is having a wig removed… we all have our various things that we have to do to get comfortable.’

Scarlett Johansson ‘Shredded’ Avengers Catsuit

With the power to jiggle out of danger AND shred leather, Scarlett Johansson says her Black Widow catsuit from The Avengers is no more because her breasts are weapons. Asked whether she kept the costume, she replied: ‘I think it was just shredded. I don’t think I even had enough to take home. There was like this much fabric left after all those fight sequences.’ I’ll need photos. For science.

We’ve Already Seen Anne Hathaway’s Costume

There was a costume reveal yesterday that I ignored because I’m pretty sure we’ve already seen the budget costume and its sad ears in earlier promotional photos released by the studio. As such, I was all ‘Huh?’ when people started love-vomming all over my feeds about how excited they were to see the costume as though we didn’t see this ears and all back in September (and the incomplete costume back in August). Well, I’m arbitrarily adding this as Friday filler because I can’t be expected to trawl for stories when I’m otherwise occupied working out where the heck my week went (I wish I were joking, I was literally like ‘WAIT!? Did I lose a day?!’). Well, here’s the studio’s first proper promotional photo of Hathaway in full costume. Although it’s going to be interesting watching her sell Catwoman bald as Fantine from Les Miserables. In addition, see below for her and Christian Bale’s joint Entertainment Weekly cover and an explanation from co-star Tom Hardy why you’re going to pay to suffer Bane’s mouth-breathing.

Scarlett Johansson At The Avengers Premiere

Scarlett Johansson wore the most underwhelming dress in her laundry hamper to the Los Angeles premiere of The Avengers, in which she plays Black Widow whose skills include jiggling out of harm’s way. Eight photos from the premiere are below because Alexander Skarsgard’s sex stare can easily impregnant you if not buried under the cut (he was on the red carpet supporting actor father Stellan).
