- Chris Pine Becomes A Man In 'People Like Us' EXCLUSIVE Clip
It's probably every only child's secret fantasy: discovering a long-lost sibling whom mom or dad just—oops!—forgot tell you about. (It certainly was mine growing up!) But it's actually a reality for Chris Pine's character in the touching drama "People Like Us," as his father's dying wish leads him to a sister (Elizabeth Banks) he never knew existed.
With the film hitting DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow, Hollywood Crush nabbed an EXCLUSIVE clip, in which the stars discuss Chris'—how shall we say?—arrested development in the drama.
Click play on the clip above to watch the featurette, and be sure to pick up a copy of "People Like Us" tomorrow on DVD or Blu-ray (long-lost sibling not included).

Переслать - Like 'Looper'? 6 Time-Travel Tales You Should Read
Did you, like us, leave the theater this weekend befuddled, bemused and slightly bewildered by "Looper"? Did you engaged in endless conversations about the logic of time travel...and how creepy that little kid was? If so, you might be jonesing for a fresh follow-up that scratches your sci-fi itch (that is what that unsightly rash is, right?). To wit, Hollywood Crush writer Kat Rosenfield and I are here to offer up our list of literary faves lending their own twist to the well-worn time-travel trope (no DeLorean necessary).
"Tempest," by Julie Cross
Probably the closest in theme and tone to Rian Johnson's time-travel thriller, "Tempest" tells the tale of teen Jackson Meyer, who following the murder of his girlfriend, Holly, involuntarily jumps back two years—unable to return to his present. Part action-adventure, part romance, Jackson must outrun shadowy agents known as "Enemies of Time" while ensuring Holly doesn't meet the same harrowing fate all over again. —AW"Slaughterhouse Five," by Kurt Vonnegut
Whether you read it as an allegorical musing on fatalism and free will, or as one man's absurdist (and possibly hallucinogenic) time travelogue, Vonnegut's tale of a hapless soldier and alien abductee who experiences his life out of order is one of the few works of science fiction to appear on pretty much every literary best-of list ever written. Following a man named Billy as he travels back and forth through time, visiting himself in moments both mundane and pivotal, "Slaughterhouse Five" will leave you with a lot of questions and a headache—as every good time-travel story should. —KR"The Time Traveler's Wife," by Audrey Niffenegger
Be sure to stock up on the Puffs Plus before delving into Niffenegger's 2003 debut—you're gonna need 'em. Dashing librarian Henry DeTamble was born with a genetic disorder (Chrono-Displacement) that causes him to involuntarily time travel, beginning at the tender age of five. In his late twenties, he meets artist Clare Abshire, but Clare met Henry long ago—he began visiting her as a child, revealing they would one day be together. Henry's affliction causes no shortage of problems for the couple, leaving readers to discover whether the couple's love truly can stand the test of time. —AW"The House on the Strand," by Daphne du Maurier
Dick Young, a listless and unhappy man, seeks solace at the English country home of biophysicist friend Magnus Lane—and in the wild, mysterious lives of a couple who lived centuries ago. Experimenting with a psychotropic drug developed by Magnus, Dick finds his consciousness projected back to the 1400s, where he observes but cannot alter the tragic love affair between the sophisticated Lady Isolde and the steward who adores her. As his addiction to visiting the past grows, he risks his life and his sanity to see the story through to its end. —KR"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," by Ransom Riggs
To dive too deeply into the era-warping particulars of Riggs' eye-popping tome would be to spoil the narrative, methinks, but suffice it to say, a mysterious orphanage in which time seems to have stood still plays a big part in the tale of 16-year-old Jacob as he tries to solve the murder of his beloved grandfather. —AW"11/22/63," by Stephen King
King's first foray into straight-up sci-fi, 11/22/63 is the story of a man who discovers that history can, in fact, be changed—and becomes obsessed with trying to do just that. Using a wormhole that transports its traveler back to the fall of 1958, he embarks on a mission to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy, in the hopes of making the future a better and more peaceful place. A change of pace for the prolific author, the book is an ambitious and inventive work that still contains plenty of King-issue scares and suspense. —KRRelated:

Переслать - Taylor Swift Dishes On Her Approach To Gossip: 'I Don't Want To Know'
Little Taylor Swift is all about Big Country in her rarified position as Glamour's latest cover girl: The singer and sometimes-actress is looking every inch the country-western superstar in the November issue, posing on a retro bus wearing her signature red lipstick and big blonde waves. And inside, she sits down for an eye-opening interview about boyfriends (both past and present), best friends (both famous and non), and being okay with what people say about her...as long as she doesn't have to hear it.
Taylor's feelings about secondhand information become very clear, very quickly, when her interviewer brings up the song "Dear John"—and starts to bring up the public response of John Mayer, who'd had a brief dalliance with Taylor and who, in typical fashion, was absolutely convinced that the song was all about him.
"No!" Taylor interrupted. "I don't want to know, I don't want to know."
Yep, that's right: Taylor has managed to keep herself in the dark about John's remarks (and ooooh, that must be driving him crazy). And when questioned about her reasons for staying uninformed, she explained, "It's not that I'm this egomaniac and I don't want to hear anything negative, because I do keep myself in check. But I've never developed that thick a skin. So I just kind of live a life, and I let all the gossip live somewhere else.
Which means that she's dimly aware of all the speculation surrounding her—and particularly her relationship with Conor Kennedy—but she won't feed the beast.
"I don't talk about my personal life in great detail," she said. "I write about it in my songs, and I feel like you can share enough about your life in your music to let people know what you're going through."
But lest you start thinking of Taylor as unrealistic about her star status, and the inevitable curiosity that goes with it, you'll want to stay tuned for this next bit—her response when asked whether she worries about making friends who like her on her own merits, not for her famous name.
"I think you can tell who's a good person to be around, who makes you laugh, who's fun, whom you can trust. And, yes, you're going to get burned a few times, but I'd really rather get burned a few times than sit alone in that house with the curtains drawn," she mused. "So God forbid this person you're hanging out with gets a bit of validation out of the fact you're famous. Is that the worst-case scenario? You know, it doesn't seem that bad."
Because not only is Taylor totally matter-of-fact about her fame being an un-ignorable part of her life, we'll be damned if that isn't one of the most insightful, non-resentful things a celebrity has said about being a celebrity this year, and possibly ever. Who wants to start a slow clap for Taylor?

Переслать - Anne Hathaway Ties The Knot!
It was a well-deserved happy ending for Anne Hathaway this weekend, as the statuesque actress tied the knot with fiance Adam Shulman in a private, exclusive ceremony. Or maybe we should call it a happy beginning; after all, she's still one of the most desired leading ladies in showbiz...and hey, being married is kinda fun.
The media was not invited to the pair's nuptial celebration, but even the few fuzzy and far-away shots of Anne in her custom Valentino gown and extravagant veil show that she looked absolutely stunning.
Meanwhile, a source confirmed to People that the ceremony was intimate, strictly friends and family, without a single famous face in sight. (Sweet fun fact: One of the few industry folks invited was Anne's stunt double, who took the hard hits for the actress during the filming of "The Dark Knight Rises." The two started out as on-set workout buddies, and are now real-life BFFs. Cute!) And for an actress who doesn't shy away from high drama onscreen—we'll be seeing Anne next in the tragic role of Fantine in "Les Miserables"—a nice, quiet moment with the love of her life and a few close friends sounds like the perfect wedding weekend. Congrats to the happy couple!
Are you delighted that these two crazy kids made it official?
Переслать - Happy Birthday, Hilary Duff!
Quarter-life crisis, what? Not for Hilary Duff, who turned the ripe ol' age of 25 today. Happy birthday, Hilary! The singer/actress took to Twitter today to thank her fans for all of the well-wishes that made her feel oh-so loved on her special day.
Woke up to so many awesome birthday messages! Love you guys so much! Thank you for making me feel so special! Xx
— Hilary Duff (@HilaryDuff) September 28, 2012
The last year has certainly been a big one for the actress. In October, she released her second novel, "Devoted," a sequel to the best-selling "Elixir." Then, in March, she gave birth to her first child, son Luca Cruz Comrie, with hockey-player husband Mike Comrie. And just last night, the new mom appeared on an episode of "Project Runway" to judge the contestants' baby outfit designs. (Busy mama!)
So what will 25 hold for Hilary? We can't wait to find out!

Переслать - Style Superstar: Kiernan Shipka Is A Blue Beauty
If you're looking for the next fashion icon in training, there's no better place than the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party, the perfect venue for fresh-faced young things to debut some definitive style sense. And while plenty of the attendee's at this year's event looked very dashing indeed, there was just one young lady who showed the early glimmers of a true Style Superstar. Who's the girl we're pinpointing as a sure-to-be Next Big Thing in red-carpet fashion? And whose look still has some growing up to do? Check it!
This week's Style Superstar is none other than "Mad Men"'s Kiernan Shipka, who plays the wayward, risk-taking tween daughter of the recently divorced Drapers. Kiernan got lots of positive feedback for her shimmery look at the Emmys on Sunday, but we think it's this cobalt blue dress with a geometric-print bodice, peter pan collar and pleated skirt—and the daring punch of color from her turquoise pumps and bright yellow purse—that show she's got the spirit of a true fashionista. So many teenage actresses struggle to strike the right balance with their red-carpet looks, but Kiernan's ability to go bold and have fun hits all the right notes and looks effortless to boot.
Also in attendance at the Young Hollywood affair: Aimee Teegarden, a proud member of the acting new class, who went for a black-and-navy look featuring a wide belt and a big ruffled neckline—when she probably should've picked one or the other. The heavy belt and structured dress create a look that's way top-heavy on the petite Aimee, and the palette is downright drab. Here's hoping she lets herself shine a little brighter next time.

Переслать - Nikki Reed, Lucy Hale Party Pretty At Teen Vogue Fete
Pretty, pretty people. The industry's elite were out in full (fabulous) force last night for Teen Vogue's annual Young Hollywood Party in Beverly Hills. This year marks the fete's 10th anniversary, which means its still six years shy of showing up driving an Escalade...
Unsurprisingly, the guest list was chock-full of our favorite entertainers, including "Twilight" actress Nikki Reed, "Glee" actor Chord Overstreet, "Pretty Little Liars" actress Lucy Hale, and "Vampire Diaries" actresses (and real-life friends!) Claire Holt and Phoebe Tonkin. What was surprising? Pretty much everyone seemed to be in fine form fashion-wise (no blunders or bombs here!).

Переслать - Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow Explain The 'Pitch Slap'
When we sat down with the cast of the upcoming a cappella comedy "Pitch Perfect," we came with a reporter's notebook full of inquiries for stars Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp and Skylar Astin. And you better believe at the top of that list was: "What the f--- is a 'pitch slap?'"—that mysterious maneuver referenced in the movie's tagline.
While the cast mates couldn't agree on its precise definition (answers varied from acts of violence to Justin Timberlake's falsetto), they did address the question gamely and with aplomb worthy of the Barden University Bellas and Treblemakers.
Click play on the video above to get pitch slapped. Or something.
"Pitch Perfect" opens in limited release today, going wide October 5.

Переслать - David Levithan's 'Every Day' Is A Different Kind Of Love Story
If you're wondering just how wildly original the premise of David Levithan's "Every Day" is, here's a good indicator: Among other things, the acknowledgements contain a thank-you to the people he discussed it with for not stealing the idea and writing it themselves. And no doubt, they would've been tempted.
In the life of the narrator, known only by the initial "A," every day is an experiment in non-demonic possession—with the sensitive, thoughtful A waking up each morning as possessor, in the body of a teen the same age. This has been A's life for as long as he (or she, what with the genderfluidity of being bodiless) can remember: a life in constant motion, of strict observation, and in which human connection is dangerous if not downright impossible.
After 16 years, A has ceased to wonder about his predicament and focuses strictly on making his day-long stay as non-disruptive as possible to the life of his unwitting host. But when he wakes up as Justin, an insensitive, selfish 16 year-old boy, he finds himself suddenly yearning to reach out—to Rhiannon, the gentle, sweet-natured girl who loves Justin in spite of herself, and who might just be the one person who could offer the lasting love A yearns for.
Despite the "Freaky Friday"-esque possibilities, "Every Day" never descends into slapstick or goes for a cheap laugh. Instead, Levithan has written a thoughtful and fascinating story; funny moments are few, far-between and bittersweet, and the net effect is a convincing portrait of what it might be like to be a homeless human consciousness. A's memories of how he came to understand his predicament are realistic and heartbreaking, and the rules that govern his life are cruelly arbitrary while being entirely believable. (A is, admittedly, remarkably well-adjusted for a soul who's had such an unstructured childhood.) And although the "It's what's on the inside that counts" messaging can get heavy-handed at times—and A's impassioned insistence on the irrelevance of the physical is somewhat belied by the fact that the object of his affections is a conventionally pretty girl—the questions it raises about why, how and whom we love are poignant ones.
"Every Day" might have a fantastical premise, but it's a study in the most real and human of concerns: the importance of empathy, the value of friends and family, and the beauty of permanence that we have the luxury of taking for granted.
