• Jennifer Aniston Ready to Take on More 'Dark' Roles After Success of 'Cake'

    Will tomorrow night be a real turning point for Jennifer Aniston? The actress is up for a Golden Globe Award as outstanding lead actress for her role in the dark indie flick, "Cake" and she seems to have a pretty decent shot of walking away with it. This seems to have been a year of real growth for Aniston in a multitude of ways. She has handled the press differently, tackling topics dead on, rather than hiding from them and she has talked about personal growth. It's that growth that ultimately allowed her to take the role of a chronic pain sufferer in "Cake" and the rewards already, have been great.

  • Divorce Rumors Surround Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha as They're Rarely Together in Spite of Having a New Daughter

    Kerry Washington's marriage to Nnamdi Asomugha, a former American football player on three NFL teams, has always been a little bit different. Even the most private of celebrity couples are usually spotted on the red carpet together occasionally, but not these two. Even during awards season last year, when Washington's hit show "Scandal" was in contention, Asomugha was never with her for support. When Washington celebrated her birthday last winter, her husband was on the opposite coast for a Super Bowl party. The birth of baby Isabelle last May has not made the couple closer either, it seems, and now many are wondering if a split could be near.In the past, Washington made the mistake of allowing her personal life to read like an open book and it burned her, so it makes sense she would now fiercely guard her family's privacy. Back in the October 2013 issue of "Glamour," Washington defended her right to silence, saying:"I'm walking around in the world with my ring. And when people say congratulations, I say thank you. But I'm going to continue to not talk about it and just let it unfold."

  • Diane Sawyer's Famed Oscar-Winning Director Husband Mike Nichols Has Died

    Sad news this morning as we have learned that Mike Nichols, one of the all-time greats of American filmmaking, has died at the age of 83. Nichols, who directed films such as "The Graduate," "Primary Colors" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," was married to ABC news anchor Diane Sawyer. It was the head of ABC News, Jeff Goldston, who broke the news this morning in a staff note that read:"I am writing with the very sad news that Diane's husband, the incomparable Mike Nichols, passed away suddenly on Wednesday evening. In a triumphant career that spanned over six decades, Mike created some of the most iconic works of American film, television and theater — an astonishing canon ranging from "The Graduate," "Working Girl" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" to "Closer," "Charlie Wilson's War," "Annie," "Spamalot," "The Birdcage" and "Angels in America." He was a true visionary, winning the highest honors in the arts for his work as a director, writer, producer and comic and was one of a tiny few to win the EGOT — an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony."

  • Trent Reznor Likes Oscar Nominations Way Better Than Winning a Grammy

    Trent Reznor's film composition career has been a huge success so far, and he enjoys the praise from the movie industry more than the awards he has collected as a member of Nine Inch Nails. He would rather win an Oscar than a Grammy."Having won a couple Grammys for stupid s--t — best metal performance — it's hard to feel good about the integrity of that," Reznor told "The Hollywood Reporter" recently. "If that's how much you're paying attention to what you're giving out, why should I think that really means anything?"Reznor has never been a fan of the awards show, but that relationship worsened in January when his show-closing performance at the Grammys — with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac — was cut short for a commercial.
