So it's been awhile since the folks behind the Twilight series fed us sneak peeks of Breaking Dawn. Just to make sure the craze doesn't die down anytime soon, the film's official Twitter divulged who designed the much-anticipated wedding dress Bella (Kristen Stewart) wears in the film.
A few designers offered sketches perhaps in hope to score the coveted gig, but the designing duties ended up with...

Photo: Chris Evans as Captain America
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Upcoming Releases
This is the first look we’ve had of Chris Evans in Captain America: The First Avenger, and it’s not half-bad … though, a little different from what many comic book fans were expecting.
The new costume looks more like a flight suit than the superhero’s iconic spandex get-up, but that’s been done on purpose.
“You can’t really take him serious in his flag pajamas,” director Joe Johnston explained to Entertainment Weekly in a past interview.

First Look: Andrew Garfield in His Spider-Man Suit
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sony, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Remakes, Upcoming Releases
It's been quite the week for Social Network stars.
Yesterday, we got to see Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander, her character in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake. Now, we're getting our first look at Andrew Garfield (in costume) in the Spider-Man reboot.
In an earlier interview, Garfield said he feels "very, very lucky that I get to wear spandex for the next few months." Unfortunately for us, it's going to take more than just a few months -- over a year! -- to see him suited up on screen.
What do you think of this first still? Does it make you excited to watch the Spider-Man series ... again?
The as-yet-untitled film will debut on July 3, 2012.

Rosario Dawson Wants Sin City Sequel Soon
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adaptation, Noir, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip
Sin City actress Rosario Dawson said that she needs the sequel to happen soon if she’s going to fit into the barely-there outfits.
The 31-year-old actress - who played prostitute dominatrix Gail in the first movie adaptation of the graphic novel - explained while she is keen to work on a sequel, director Robert Rodriguez needs to start filming soon or she will feel too old for the skimpy costumes associated with the character.
“The last time I saw Robert Rodriguez was a month ago and he really wants to make Sin City 2 happen. I said, ‘I understand you’ve been taking your time, but if you want me to wear the outfit that fits into one hand, dude. I’m not getting any younger.’”
The star also admitted she is grateful for her unusual looks - which are a combination of her Puerto Rican, Afro-Cuban, Native American and Irish descent - as some of her more conventional-looking friends struggle to find acting work: “I have friends of mine who are actresses, who all have blonde hair and blue eyes, tell me they think I am going to work more than them. One of my friends in particular - and she’s a pretty big actress - said, ‘There are a million girls who show up who look just like me every single day in Los Angeles fighting for the exact same job.’”
Gone With the Wardrobe: Save Scarlett O’Hara’s Gowns
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: MGM, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Classics, Drama, Romance
Gowns worn by Vivien Leigh’s Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind are in need of some serious renovation. The Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas, is trying to raise $30,000 to restore five iconic gowns from the movie, which fascinated the world and swept the Oscars in 1939.
An exhibit of the gowns is planned in 2014 to mark the 75th anniversary of the famous film, but most of the dresses are not suitable for display.
The gowns in question are some of the most famous and well-loved from the epic motion picture: Scarlett’s green curtain frock, the burgundy ball gown she wore to Melanie’s party, the blue velvet night gown she wore during her fight with Rhett Butler and her wedding dress. The Ransom Center did not acquire the gowns until the 1980s, after they had toured the world.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Her 48 SATC2 Costumes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: New Line, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Celeb News, Filmmaking, New Releases
Believe it or not, Sarah Jessica Parker has 48 costume changes in Sex and the City 2.
The actress - who reprises her role as glamorous journalist Carrie Bradshaw in the movie sequel - admits she changed outfits so many times, more than 10 were lost to the cutting room floor.
“I think I have about 48. We started off with 60 and I think scenes were cut and scenes didn’t make it. So I think between scenes being cut prior to shooting and us not being able to find a good enough reason to change clothes on camera, which is what I would do if they would let me, I think we end up in high 40s.”

Robert Downey Jr Has Iron Head
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases
Robert Downey Jr. has an Iron Man head at his house.
The actor - who plays the superhero and his alter-ego Tony Stark in upcoming sequel Iron Man 2 - took the metal mask from the set as a memento but insists his home isn’t too geeky.
Downey - who lives with his film producer wife Susan Levin - said, “I have an Iron Man head at home and various other bits downstairs but my home isn’t a shrine to Iron Man. But I think it’s cool.”
The 45-year-old star can’t wait for fans to see the movie and admits he is immensely proud to play the much-loved Marvel comic book character. He added, “It’s mind-blowing to me because I’d always felt like I wanted to - and could - do something like this. I have probably taken Iron Man 2 more seriously than any other movie I’ve ever done, which is appropriately ridiculous for Hollywood.”
Downey has previously revealed he asked film bosses to let him take one of the superhero’s full suits home: “The producers keep telling me that they’re going to give me a suit with all the bells and whistles but I still don’t have it. I don’t know, maybe I should get it in my contract. It would be great to have one at home - a talking point.”
Michael Cera Embraces Womenswear
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Adaptation, Adventure, Independent, Romance, Comedy, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases
Michael Cera enjoyed wearing a dress for his latest film role.
The Superbad actor - who plays two characters, an aspiring novelist Nick Twisp, and man of action Francois Dilinger in his latest film, Youth in Revolt - said he didn’t mind donning a dress for the role, because it was better than being stripped down to his boxers.
“I was just relieved to have something on. I was doing a scene with just boxers on before that, so it was just nice to not have people see me as much. That’s why it was so comfortable. I don’t think I was thinking about the dress. I was trying to remember what to say.”

Dress Up Like Hollywood for Halloween
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Adventure, Drama, Family, Musicals, Period, Science Fiction, Comedy
What’s hot this Halloween? Hollywood is always hot, and this year the costume ideas are churning right out of LA. Will you have the popular look this October 31st?
Britney is in…at least, she’s in if you’re trying to make her look bad. This Halloween, plenty of men are dressing drag and letting beer bellies hang. The look? Britney Spears, a la the VMAs. The costume? Extremely skimpy – so don’t wear it unless you plan to stay indoors.
Little boys are gearing up as mini Transformers and suiting up in the black Spidey costume, so be prepared to meet pint-sized heroes at the door this year. Pirates of the Caribbean outfits are still in; it’s the Halloween look that just won’t go away (like the movies).
Spartans sporting the 300 look will be appearing at parties this year, as will the more comedic look of Will Ferrell’s Ricky Bobby. Though the movie is old (over a year, now), the look is not – elaborate and over-the-top Marie Antoinette costumes are all the rage for those who want to go all out.
TV is getting attention from Halloween revelers as well. This year, Ugly Betty kits and High School Musical-esque outfits are flying off novelty shelves.
