    When we learned last week that Kristen Stewart will be starring in the Iraq war-themed movie, Camp X-Ray, we were stoked for her. It sounded like a smart career move -- a meaty, serious role for KStew. But one person is not so impressed: Supposedly, Robert Pattinson thinks Kristen is copying him. A source from his camp says, "Rob is convinced Kristen is now trying to duplicate his film choices with Camp X-Ray." What???

    It just so happens that Rob has been trying to make an Iraq war movie of his own. It's called Mission Blacklist and follows a soldier's two-year hunt for Saddam Hussein. Rob was planning to start filming at the end of the year, which means not only did Kristen copy him, but her film will beat his film out of the gate. But what does he care? Is he seriously thinking, "Lady, there's only room for one Iraq war film in this here town"???

    I can't imagine that there are many acting roles more intimidating than the job of portraying one of the most recognizable women the world has ever known, particularly when said woman would have only been 52 this year had she lived. It's no wonder Naomi Watts says she nearly turned down the starring role in the upcoming Diana biopic, and now she's facing the next big gauntlet in terms of public reaction to her performance as the late Diana, Princess Of Wales, because the first official teaser trailer has hit the web.

    I almost didn't want to watch the clip, I was so worried about whether or not Watts was right for the role. But it's a hell of a trailer -- and it cleverly bypasses some of the resistance to seeing a famous Hollywood actress playing such an iconic figure.

    You guys may not know this about me, but I'm a Gen X Lifestyle Expert, which means part of my job entails nostalgically recalling all the fun things that came out from the '70s through the early '90s, and I do so with love and a mild obsession. Which is why I can't understand why all the totally awesome characters that were popular with my generation needed to be glittered, glammed, and slutified for my kids.

    Do you remember the innocence of Polly Pocket, how she just bent at her midsection? The chubby cheeks of a Rainbow Brite and her entourage? Of course you do, because that was what made them adorable and innocent like us.

    They didn't look like they were on their way to go clubbing with Ke$ha. They didn't have curves and they certainly didn't don body-hugging unitards that Madonna would call too racy for an awards show.

    Now, they come with cocktails and cellphones, though it looks like some of them should come with an IUD ... or at least a morning-after pill.

    Here's proof:

    Thanks to Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev's shocking breakup, we may never see the duo on the big screen together. And yes, that means Fifty Shades of Grey. Sources are saying there's no chance these two will be playing Christian Grey & Anastasia Steele together. Get all the details here:

    Did you see the 2010 horror movie Insidious? Brought to you by the diabolical folks behind Saw and Paranormal Activity, Insidious racked up some decent reviews for its haunted-family thrills and chills, including the praise that while it may not necessarily have delivered the most unique storyline in the horrorverse, "it succeeds as a shock-a-minute fright fest with plenty of atmosphere and dread," and that the film could in fact be summed up with the following three words: "SCARY AS HELL." (IGN)

    Insidious reportedly cost less than $2 million, but pulled down an impressive $84 million total in international sales, so it's not particularly surprising to hear a sequel is on its way to the big screen. A two-and-a-half minute trailer for Insidious: Chapter 2 just made its debut online, and I have to say -- it's creepy. It's REALLY creepy.

    This might be the real reason why Kristen Stewart seems so dang happy these days. KStew has landed two new roles in independent films. She'll appear in Camp X-Ray and in Sils Maria. Both begin filming this summer. That's got to be putting some spring in Kristen's step. Work is a great way for her to move on post-breakup.

    It sounds like her role in Sils Maria is a smallish one. She'll be playing the assistant to an aging theater star played by Juliette Binoche. Chloe Moretz stars as the ingenue/rival to Juliette's character, and it sounds like a fun, meaty role. I wonder if Kristen competed for the role and ended up as the assistant instead? Anyway, her other role this summer looks way more substantial.

    If you've been following the long, strange story of Brad Pitt's zombie apocalypse movie World War Z lurching awkwardly towards its release date -- racking up script rewrites, additional weeks of shooting, and a budget creep to the tune of nearly $100 million along the way -- you've probably had your doubts about what sort of final product might actually be hitting the big screen. Especially when you consider how the original material, Max Brook's book by the same name, is so astoundingly good there's no way the film version won't be a disappointment by comparison. The trailer's been criticized for relying too heavily on CGI, there's been a suspicious lack of any zombie closeups, and many signs were pointing to this hotly-anticipated story unraveling into overblown, overly lame Michael Bay territory.

    Well, World War Z's early reviews are officially rolling in … and I think you're going to want to take a look at what the critics are saying.

    Man. Can you believe the Fifty Shades of Grey movie hasn't been cast yet? I mean, we've been talking about this film and speculating over who will wind up snagging the leading roles for months -- but we still don't have any clue who will play Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.

    And the general consensus for whoever is given the task of bringing Christian to life seems to be that he should be strikingly handsome, powerful, confident -- and definitely not some dumb jock.

    But there might be a possibility of Christian being played by just that -- if a certain former co-star of Reese Witherspoon's and former Vampire Diaries star somehow manages to land the part.

    Exciting news out of Hollywood today, assuming "exciting" is an accurate term for a project that's probably indicative of the rapidly approaching collapse of civilization as we know it: Grumpy Cat has a movie deal. Yes, that Grumpy Cat. The sourpuss who launched a thousand memes. The star of a Facebook page with over 870,000 fans. The 2013 Webby Awards winner. The cat who who had a not-so-PR-friendly name before someone made the savvy move of explaining that "Tard" was short for "Tardar Sauce."

    Everything about Grumpy Cat's announcement is so utterly deranged, I can't help but wonder if The Onion is behind this whole thing, but in the name of entertainment journalism, I will muster through to share the relevant details with you. Plus, I've got some backup casting ideas just in case Grumpy Cat, well ... you know. *draws index finger across throat, dramatically exhales death rattle through downturned mouth*

    Behind the Candelabra premiere on HBO last night giving us a glitsy glimpse into the decadent life of Liberace played by Michael Douglas. Matt Damon plays his young lover Scott Thorson who looks a bit David Bowie in this shot. There are graphic sex scenes and tender moments and lots and lots of skin, but perhaps most eye-popping are the many different hairstyles from the 70s and 80s.

    As a victim of the 80s feathered and hair-sprayed looks, I was most taken with Matt Damon's locks. I mean this is MATT DAMON. LOOK AT HIM! Essentially the original Jason Bourne went back in time to have sex with Liberace and wear the most flamboyant and super sexy and tight clothes to go with some of the most amazing hair you'll ever see on a man. Oh, yes!!! Take a look.
