First Look: Naomi Watts As Marilyn Monroe

Here is our first look at actress Naomi Watts in full costume as the iconic Marilyn Monroe in a new promo photo for the upcoming biopic on MM ’s life titled Blonde . Due to begin shooting early next year, Blonde is the long-talked about film about the life and death of Marilyn Monroe . It remains to be seen if Naomi is capable of bringing Marilyn to life on the big screen but judging by this first photo, she’s kinda got the look down: Here is the first promo pic of Naomi Watts as Marilyn Monroe for the upcoming biopic, Blonde, which will be directed by Andrew Dominik. It’s an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ imaginary Marilyn Monroe memoir that will start shooting in January 2011. This pic was taken at the Cannes Film Festival by Allocine.com . In all honesty, it doesn’t matter who plays Marilyn Monroe in a biopic based on her life … NO ONE will be able to be the Marilyn to satisfy everyone. That being said, I can see how Naomi Watts might have the acting ability to do the larger-than-life Marilyn justice. Not only does the actress who plays Marilyn have to look like her but she has to be able to act convincingly enough to due her justice … that is no small feat. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how Blonde turns out but I’m hopeful it’ll be a smash hit. What do y’all think, is Naomi Watts the right woman to play Marilyn Monroe in this new film?

First Look: Scissor Sisters, ‘Fire With Fire’

Last month we learned that Scissor Sisters are BACK and are readying the release of their new album Night Work and today we get our first look at the cover artwork for their new single Fire with Fire : In addition, the Sisters have already released their new music video for the track — which you can watch in full after the jump … While I’m not a huge fan of slower pop songs, the Scissor Sisters tend to do these sorts of songs very well. I am really excited for the release of their new album Night Work . And, while I do like this song and video, I’m hoping there are a LOT of upbeat, more danceable songs on the disc. I gotta say, tho, this is a good start. [ Source ]

Celebs Attend The Chopard 150th Anniversary Party In Cannes

As you may know by now, the 2010 Cannes International Film Festival is in fully swing … which means the parties are also well underway. Chopard , makers of fine jewelry and watches, threw a lavish 150th anniversary party this week and managed to attract the likes of Naomi Watts , Marion Cotillard and even Lindsay Lohan . Here are a few photos from the event’s red carpet arrivals: This party must’ve been really important because L. Lo is risking going to jail just so she can be in Cannes, France to attend. I mean, I like a good party too but damn girl, you are nuts to risk your freedom just to get your party on with your friends. In any event, this Chopard event was THE party to be at so I hope it was worth all the trubs. Looks like fun, no? [Photo credit: Wireimage ]

Holly Marie Combs Is Returning To TV

Holly Marie Combs , who famously played Piper Halliwell for 8 seasons of Charmed , is making her return to TV this Summer in a new ABC Family series called Pretty Little Liars . HMC was joined by her new co-star Chad Lowe at a promo event for the new series, here are a few photos from that event and some deets about the show : It’s been a rough four years since my weekly doses of Holly Marie Combs stopped arriving every Sunday but thankfully the seriously underrated “Charmed” actress is finally returning to television. And making her comeback even more delicious, Holly is coming aboard a show I was already excited about. She’s joining ABC Family’s next great series, “Pretty Little Liars” as Ella Montgomery, the mother of Lucy Hale’s conniving character Aria. The show — about four teen girls who have been harboring a seriously un-ABC Family secret since the sixth grade — will hopefully give Holly a chance to play slightly sinister since the books are kind of like a teen version of “Desperate Housewives.” “Pretty Little Liars” premieres on June 8. OOOH, I love this!! The show may sound a bit girly for me but I am so excited that Holly Marie Combs will be back on my TV. As I’ve mentioned a few times before in recent months, I’ve been rewatching the entire Charmed series (just started the 8th and final season this week) so I’m all about HMC , Alyssa Milano , Shannen Doherty and Rose McGowan these days. While, sadly, Alyssa ’s new series Romantically Challenged has been canceled by ABC and Shannen ’s quest to win Dancing with the Stars was cut all too short, I am very much looking forward to seeing HMC in this new series and Rose in the new Conan the Barbarian remake film . Not sure that Pretty Little Liars is for you? After the jump, check out a promo video that might change your mind … While I’d say this show needs more Holly , I’m perfectly willing to give it a chance … just to see HMC on TV again. Whether or not this show looks like something you’d be interested in, you Charmed fans have to be happy to have HMC back on TV again. Does Pretty Little Liars look like something you’d like to watch?

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt: Cheebo Couple

Enjoying the lovely weather over the weekend, Anna Faris & her fiance Chris Pratt were spotted out in West Hollywood on Sunday afternoon (April 19). The cute couple walked side-by-side, grabbing up a bite to eat at Cheebo Restaurant before continuing along with their day. And now that Anna’s movie “Observe and Report” has made its way into theaters, the blonde beauty is looking ahead to her next release. Miss Faris happens to star in an upcoming animated flick titled “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”. Due out on September 19th, the family flick is described as “the most delicious event since macaroni met cheese. Inspired by the beloved children’s book, the film focuses on a town where food falls from the sky like rain.”

Charlize Theron Goes Promoting in Madrid

She’s no stranger to the busy life of an actress. And earlier today (March 5), Charlize Theron showed up for the “The Burning Plain” photocall in Madrid, Spain. The “Monster” babe looked stunning as she posed for pictures while donning skinny black jeans matched with a black shirt and a grey blazer. In the film, Theron plays a woman who must deal with burnishing a sin from her past, but it sounds like the blonde babe is ready to move away from her roles in drama films. Of this, she recently said, “I’m starting to figure that if there’s a woman in a ‘doom and gloom’ scenario, my name comes up… the next one has to be a comedy.”

Paris Loves Her Razzies!

Paris Hilton is one dedicated actress! Despite being nominated for several Razzies, the blonde heiress is still supporting her flick, Repo! The Genetic Opera. This past Saturday there was a special screening of the film in West Los Angeles’ Laemmle Theatre. And, in support of the movie, Paris showed up – even holding fliers with her character’s name on them. We think they should have gone the camp/cheesetastic route the first time ’round and not taken themselves as seriously! [ Image via Pacific Coast News Online .]

Ashley Tisdale: Brunette Diva on Deck

Taking a break from her blonde locks, Ashley Tisdale was spotted on her way out of the Byron and Tracey Salon last night (January 15) following an evening of pampering. The “High School Musical” babe wasn’t all too keen on being photographed, though she looked super cute in a black shirt, distressed denim miniskirt, and black leather boots.

Kate Hudson: Lovely at the Late Show

Continuing her day of “Bride Wars” promotional duties, Kate Hudson stepped out on Monday evening (January 5) to tape an appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman” in New York City. Wearing a curve-hugging shiny green dress, the blonde beauty greeted fans before heading inside to tape tonight’s show as she boosts interest in her new comedy (which hits theaters this Friday – January 9).

Ashlee Simpson Goes Back To Blonde

Just a few weeks after giving birth and Ashlee Simpson is not looking that bad. At least for someone who is breastfeeding her new baby and her husband. (Keep reading on down the page for more on that story) I’m sure the new blonde hair makes her feel lighter and less tired than her old darker red locks. Whatcha’ think? Do  you like Ashlee’s new blonde?
