Getting Into Character: Jessica Biel is Part of the A-Team

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adaptation, Casting, Upcoming Releases

Jessica Biel‘s got legs, and she knows how to use them.

For next year’s release of The A-Team, the Easy Virtue star will play Amy Allen, an ex-flame of Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck (Bradley Cooper). Biel’s character is also an Army general - huh? - who is trying to track down the team. (How very Ocean’s Twelve of her.)

Others involved in the Fox production include actors Liam Neeson (Col. John “Hannibal” Smith), Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (Sgt. Bosco “B.A.” Baracus) and District 9‘s Sharlto Copley (Capt. “Howling Mad” Murdock).

The A-Team will premiere on June 11, 2010.

First Look: Trailer for Star-Studded Valentine’s Day

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Romance, Trailers, Upcoming Releases

“Love is the only shocking act left on the planet.”

Throw a bunch of celebrities into a movie with interconnecting stories about romance and what do you get? Garry Marshall’s version of Love Actually.

In Valentine’s Day, Emma Roberts laughs at monogamy while her real-life aunt (Julia Roberts) laughs at Bradley Cooper’s admirers. Jessica Alba acts sad because she’s paired with a dog while the other Jessica (Biel) overacts because she’s paired with chocolates. Meanwhile, Ashton Kutcher is responsible for the flattest delivery in the whole trailer.

So am I planning to watch this American knockoff? Yes…because I’m a sucker for a love story. Valentine’s Day his theaters on February 12.

Jessica Biel Sings for Easy Virtue Soundtrack

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Videos

We already know that Justin Timberlake can sing, dance and act—but does his girlfriend have more than one talent?

Later this summer, Jessica Biel will be taking a break from the small screen to test out her chops in a smaller forum. “I auditioned for a summer production of Guys and Dolls at the Hollywood Bowl. I thought, ‘Well, I’m not a soprano anymore, but I guess I’ll go in for it.’ I literally walked in and said, ‘I can do this song but we’re going to have to drop it down a few notes.’ Actually, I did pretty well and I got the part of Sandy, which I’ll be performing later this summer,” Biel told Parade.
