It’s always a good day when there are new photos of Cate Blanchett! La Blanchett was in Geneva to support something called the “IWC Top Gun Gala Event”. Don’t ask – I don’t know. I’m guessing that Cate and some other celebrities were probably paid to make appearances on behalf of whatever it is – and paid well, because they managed to get Blanchett, Adriana Lima and several other quality celebrities. I do know that Cate looked lovely and gorgeous in this sexy black Givenchy dress. On another woman, I would be bitching about the weird fabric thing down her chest, but, as always, Cate makes it work. I also love her hair these days – I love the length (just above her shoulders) and the color (not too blonde). Cate can pull off nearly anything, stylistically, but this current hairstyle is sophisticated and lovely on her.

And if that wasn’t enough eye candy, Ewan McGrgeor was also at the same event. Have Cate and Ewan ever worked together? They should! They should play lovers. That would be hot, wouldn’t it?

I can’t even begin to describe how depressed I am this morning. When I was first looking through the morning photos, my heart skipped a beat when I saw that the LA premiere of Haywire was held last night. That could only mean one thing: My Fassy. Michael Fassbender has a supporting role in the Steven Soderbergh film, which stars Gina Carano as a Jason Bourne-esque CIA operative who goes rogue after the agency tries to kill her. Fassbender plays the hit man who is first assigned to take her out. It does not end well for him, unfortunately. Anyway, Fassy wasn’t there. SON OF A…! There are no photos of The Beast Within. He was probably off somewhere, wrecking some lucky bitch’s sweetshop.

So we’re left with this assortment of dongs. It’s a decent gathering of dudes, but I’m still disappointed. I’m including photos of Ewan McGregor and his wife Eve, who… look, I’m sure Eve is a lovely woman, she’s raising four girls out of the spotlight, and Ewan seems to just adore her. BUT HER HAIR. Good God. Meanwhile, Ewan is a vampire. He’s 40 years old! He could pass for late 20s.

Here’s Channing Tatum and Gina Carano. Gina’s dress is lovely – I like that she got all decked out for her first big premiere for her first starring role. Also: Channing is HUGE. Jesus.

Channing with his wife Jenna Dewan. I think Jenna is a really pretty girl, in that cute girl-next-door way. I don’t like her hair either, though.

Matt Bomer was there, for no reason than he likes wearing suits, I guess. He’s so pretty, it hurts.

Melanie Griffith… I don’t even know. No comment.

Joe Manganiello – random beefcake. He looks nice here, though. He and Bomer are tight, so maybe they had a boys’ night out to support Soderbergh, who they both worked with on that male-stripper movie. Based on Channing Tatum’s early years. Joe is playing Big Dick Richie, just FYI.

Dominic Monaghan – random Hobbit.

Yay! Ewan McGregor has a new interview and photo shoot in the new issue of GQ. Ewan is promoting several films, not least of which is Beginners, which has a surprising amount of critical acclaim and buzz. Beginners has even won some big critics awards, and it’s thought that Christopher Plummer is a shoo-in for an Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination, if not the actual award. But you know what else Ewan is promoting? HAYWIRE!!!! That film with the one and only Michael Fassbender. At the premiere, I would like to see Ewan and Fassy holding each other in a deep embrace. I would like to see Irish on Scotsman, in whatever stage of dress they want. Sigh…anyhoodles, Ewan’s full GQ interview is here, and his (rather beautiful and sassy) slideshow is here. Here just a few highlights:

On being a father of four daughters: “I never feel battered by it. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

On what Ewan would do if he retired from acting: “I like the idea of being a sculptor. Just me alone, making something—that solitary existence. And then you come out,” he adds, “and you’re back into the house with all the kids. That would be perfect.”

[From GQ]

Yeah, that was a little light on the quotes! Sorry about that. Oh, well, it’s not like Ewan is going to talk to GQ about his affair with Melanie Laurent or anything. Let’s just think about Ewan and Fassy together again. God, I can’t wait for the premiere. Those photos better be magnificent. Here’s the trailer for Haywire again:

The new trailer for Jack the Giant Killer has arrived, and I have very mixed feelings as a result. Of course, the movie is an adaptation of a tale (and a remake of a 1962 film in name only) that is closely associated with Jack and the Beanstalk except that this variation of the tale makes the titular Jack much more of a badass because he not only climbs the beanstalk but also must fight a race of giants that descend to claim the Earth for their own. Or at least, Jack is supposed to be a badass. Judge for yourself:

In short, this movie combines both folk tales, but this movie’s trailer, from director Brian Singer (X-Men; The Usual Suspects; Valkyrie) makes Jack seem much less of “plucky” slayer of giants and more of an “emo Brat” who looks entirely unaware of his surroundings. Also rather unimpressive in the trailer is the entrance of Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson), who seems so boobily engineered as to virtually guarantee massive geek salivation. Overall, the production looks mightily overwrought, but at least we’re going to see Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, and Ewan McGregor, right?

Also, Kaiser thinks that it’s probably “too soon” for Nicholas Hoult to claim leading-man status. I agree and sort of think that, despite Hoult’s pedigree (X-Men: First Class; A Single Man), he might be better suited taking his chances in romcom territory instead of just as an action guy. Hoult played Hank McCoy/Beast in First Class with a touch of sensitivity, and I think he could probably make young women swoon onscreen in a low-budget romantic role. At this point, however, he’s taking a huge gamble as the lead in a blockbuster type movie. Hoult doesn’t quite have the star power to either drive people into theater seats or claim it as a real career success if the movie ends up doing well. If Jack the Giant Killer does make a ton of money, it will be because people want to see a mindless action movie, and if it fails, then Hoult will probably be Hollywood toast.

Ewan McGregor covers the January issue of Nylon Guys to promote the upcoming Steven Soderberg-directed action flick, Haywire, in which Gina Carano will kick the crap out of Ewan’s ass along with many others. The interview spans several pages and many topics including Ewan’s passion for motorcycles, bagpipes, and Lay’s potato chips. He also loves VW vans and took the journalist on a little joyride and picnic during their talk. Clearly, his female co-stars are very fond of him, which only really means that he’s not an on-set douche. And as Kaiser has noted before, the rumors of his on-set dalliances could be just rumors. Or not. Maybe he does really have an open marriage? Ewan’s been married to his wife, Eve Mavrakis (with whom he recently adopted a fourth child), for sixteen years, yet he was spotted spotted last year hand in hand with Melanie Laurent. This interview might provide a little more insight into Eve and Ewan’s relationship, particularly within the last excerpt:

Emily Blunt on Ewan: “Ewan and his toys! He has so many toys. The bikes and the Minis and the cars and the vans. Any time he can get a new toy, he will. It’s sort of this very endearing obsession that he has.” What was he into on set? “He bought tome bagpipes! I love that he was driving you around in his camper van. if it was anyone else than Ewan it might come across as a proposition, but because it’s Ewan…”

Gina Carano on Ewan: “He’s just such a natural, beautiful person. It was really cool when we were [shooting] in Barcelona, I had been so used to working with some of the other actors, but Ewan’s presence is so natural, it’s almost intimidating. And he’s not a prima donna — he doesn’t require special treatment. Every time I think of Ewan, a big smile comes to my face because I’m just happy to know that somebody like that exists in the world.”

On His Casual Style: “I think people are so narrow-minded about a lot of things, especially fashion on the red carpet, that if you’re a man and you’re not wearing a suit and tie, then you didn’t really dress up. I like to find things that are different. I don’t want to look like everybody else necessarily, because I don’t really feel like everybody else.”

On the British Film Industry: “I don’t feel any need to support it. I was always work in British stories because I am British and I’m drawn to them, but I don’t feel any special desire or need to make a British film every year because there were years when they didn’t support me, you know? We struggled like f–k to get Young Adam made, and we had me and Tilda Swinton and an amazing script and a talented young director. At that point I thought, I’ve spent my whole life working in Britain and rejecting American films… That’s when I realized we’re on our own. What really annoys me is during Oscar season, everyone gets really wrapped in that itle. Then it’s on the front pages; BRITS CLEAN UP AT THE OSCARS! And for one night we get really supportive of the British, but in actual fact, it’s more of a ‘stick it to the Americans’ sort of thing. It’s such hypocrisy; I find it so distasteful. I also don’t live there anymore, so I have no right to talk about it, really.”

On His Home Life: McGregor lives with his wife of 16 years (Eve Mavrakis, a production designer) and their four daughters, in a 1920s Spanish-style house in Brentood, where they relocated three years ago from London. The idea of being perceived as a family man, however, seems to grate on him. “My wife is my best friend, she’s the person I discuss everything with, so of course she’s hugely a part of my experience,” he says, taking a swig of Diet Coke. “But I wouldn’t like to read that my family has to be grounding me. I hate people writing things like that. Because at the same time, my work is still quite heady and wonderful and weird… I don’t live my life for my family, but we live our lives together.”

[From Nylon Guys]

The entire interview is quite lengthy and at times quite dull, but of course I’m fixated on the “I don’t live my life for my family, but we live our lives together” quote. What does that even mean? That Ewan and his wife do their own things (including sexual things) yet always come home to each other? Perhaps I’m reading too much into those words, but it just seems like an odd sentiment for a “family man” to express in a print publication, but maybe that was the point of the whole exercise.

Now about this photoshoot — Ewan looks dashingly handsome as always, but he’d look even more fetching if those boots were paired with a kilt.

I actually do miss Hot Guy Fridays. I don’t miss the work and the time it took to do them all of the time, but I miss having a few hours each week dedicated to looking at photos of hot dudes. We’re going to be doing a very special Hot Guy Friday for Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving Dong?) too. Mark your calenders!

Anyway, I was just looking at these photos of Ewan McGregor and wishing I had something more to say about him besides “Damn, he’s hot. I love him.” So I decided to piece together some random photos of some hot guys that came in this week for a little mini Hot Guy Friday. Here’s Ewan looking like he wants to spank you (and you’ll like it too, bitch). If you couldn’t tell, Ewan is my pick for “Who Would You Rather?”

Here’s Colin Farrell on the set of Seven Psychopaths. I like his hair these days, and he looks very fit and sexy. I’ll always have a soft spot for dirty Irishmen, though. You don’t have to cosign.

And here’s Christopher Meloni earlier this week, doing a photo op for the Empire State Building. I’m not a fan of his scruff, but I adore him so much.

Yesterday, I was frustrated because there were several good stories hanging around, but we didn’t have access to those particular photo agencies. In particular, it’s always painful when we don’t have whatever new Michael Fassbender photos, as he is my immortal beloved, and the major agencies don’t always care about getting good pics of him. Two nights ago, Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire had a screening at the AFI Fest. Haywire’s lead, Gina Carano, was there, as was Soderbergh, Michael Fassbender and Ewan McGregor (Ewan and Fassie have supporting parts in the film) – you can see photos here and here. I’m just adding some screen caps from the video. Joel McHale was basically the host/interviewer of the screening, and he got to ask questions afterwards. There’s video of the event, at least. My stomach flipped when Michael leaned in to whisper something to Gina. SLUT. *deep breath*

I like when Fassie is a gentleman and tries to give his mic to that crazy woman, only to pull it away from her midway through her crazy rant. Classic.

So here you go. Please stop sending me emails about this because it makes me want to unsheath my slut dagger and thrust it into my own Fassie-loving heart. Trust that I have a Fassie Google Alert (I don’t really, I just Google him excessively). Trust that I’m on top of all things Fassie, and that if I’m not writing about him, it’s because I’m sad that we don’t have access to the photos. But if you (SLUTS) do have an interesting Fassie story, like you got a chance to meet him or you “accidentally” saw the Fassdong in person, you can email at kaiser@celebitchy.com or tweet me at KaiseratCB.

Here are some screen caps from the video.

Last night was a pretty great night for premieres and galas and events, so today is going to be full of photo-heavy posts. First up: the Hollywood Film Awards (presented by Starz). The HFA got a surprisingly good turnout considering it’s not really a big awards show. The “stars” of the evening were definitely George Clooney and his girlfriend Stacy Keibler. As we know from yesterday’s post, Keibler is now charging up to $25,000 a night for these “personal appearances”.

Stacy is wearing this purple Maria Lucia Hohan (the same designer of the dress Stacy wore in London). It’s awful, isn’t it? Stacy had been steadily improving, but I fear we are witnessing a D-list relapse! It looks like a really bad pageant dress, only I don’t even think that pageant girls wear these kinds of boob-embellishment gowns anymore. Plus, the bottom half is sheer, and that dress feature is… rather tacky. In this instance. Um, are those built-in black bicycle shorts underneath the sheer skirt? WTF? Why do Clooney’s girls always look like strippers that got off of an eight-hour shift? And why does Clooney keep pointing to Stacy’s poor vagina?

To get that image out of your head, here are some photos of the always-lovely Ewan McGregor, who was also at the HFA last night. I’m not in love with his hair right now, but I still love him so much. Ewan and Clooney are tight, you know. I wonder what Ewan thinks of Clooney’s girls?

I was drawn in to these UK premiere photos just because I love both Eva Green and Ewan McGregor. I don’t expect you to enjoy these photos as much as I do, but for the love of God, please comment on this post if you’d like me to write more about Eva and Ewan and less about the Kardashians.

Eva and Ewan are just so beautiful to me – Eva, much like Helena Bonham Carter, hides her classic beauty behind profoundly odd styles and makeup choices. Ewan is just pretty, traditionally handsome, with some edge. And they’re made a movie together called Perfect Sense. It’s a love story. They make love on film, together. And weird stuff happens, because it’s a love story mixed with sci-fi. The basic plot is: “A chef and a scientist fall in love as an epidemic begins to rob people of their sensory perceptions.” Ewan is the chef, Eva is the scientist. Here’s the trailer:

Eva’s voiceover is meh – it still would have been haunting and erotic without the voiceover. All I really need to see is Eva and Ewan kissing, and his hand grazing her boob. And is it just me, or does this film look kind of interesting? Like… I’m not sure about the story, but Eva and Ewan look deliciously overwrought here, and I’ll probably watch it just to see them act opposite each other.

So… the premiere photos. Eva always wears these kinds of dresses, and her makeup is always overdone, so my only complaint is about the shoes. They suck, and it looks like she’s about to lose her balance. Ewan just looks gorgeous, though. Sigh… aren’t they better than Kardashians?

Ewan McGregor just announced in an interview that he and his wife Eve Mavrakis have adopted a daughter, a four-month old whose name has not yet been made public. Ewan is now the father of FOUR girls! His oldest, at 15, is Clara Mathilde, then Esther Rose is 9, and then he and Eve adopted Jamiyan, who is also 9, from Mongolia in 2006. Apparently, Ewan confirmed the adoption weeks ago, but I guess no one bothered to read the interview…? He told the NY Post, “My wife and four girls – 15, two nine year olds and a baby of four months – often come with me if it’s a holiday or my locations and their schedules allow. Sometimes we uproot them and put them in another school.” Wow.

Ewan McGregor has let slip that he and wife Eve Mavrakis have adopted a baby girl. The 40-year-old actor revealed the news while promoting his movie Beginners in Los Angeles earlier this month. The little girl, who will be the fourth child for Ewan and Eve, was born in March and is just four months old.

However, Ewan has not revealed any other details about the baby, such as her name and nationality. The baby is the second adopted child for Ewan and his wife, who adopted daughter Jamiyan from Mongolia five years ago. The couple are also parents to daughters Clara, 15, and nine-year-old Esther.

Ewan made the revelation when he spoke to the New York Post about his new movie. Discussing how his family always comes first, Ewan said: ‘My wife and four girls – 15, two nine-year-olds and a baby of four months – often come with me if it’s a holiday or my locations and their schedules allow. Sometimes we uproot them and put them in another school.’

Ewan is notoriously private about his family life, but said in a recent interview that he will always try and spend as much time as possible with his children.

He said: ‘I recognize it can be boring to play with young children – to tell a story over and over again, let’s say – but the secret is being there. If you’ve made a decision to play with your children, then play with them. Don’t be looking through papers on your desk or sneaking off to the computer. Turn off your BlackBerry. Lose yourself in their world. Even if you do it for a short time, it will mean a lot to you and to them.’

People say that Ewan and Eve have an “open marriage” whenever there’s a rumor about Ewan with one of his leading ladies – we had photo evidence of Ewan and Melanie Laurent, and I remember rumors about Ewan and Michelle Williams back before Heath Ledger died too. But… I’ve never heard anything about Eve enjoying her side of an “open marriage” and they keep adopting those girls. I mean, I think Ewan and Eve are probably great parents, but I do wonder about the state of their marriage and their family. Still, congratulations to Eve and Ewan and their FOUR daughters. It’s a wonder Ewan doesn’t wander around, covered in glitter and nail polish.
