Posted on January 15th, 2012 at 11:26 am by SBGLA
Awards season was in full swing in Hollywood last week, and where there are awards shows, there are parties…
Screen International and the Silverspoon Lifestyle Group recently sponsored one such star-studded pre-Golden Globes party at the Silverspoon venue on Sunset Boulevard to honor the prestigious awards ceremony and award nominees on Friday, January 13th.
The most Notable guest of the evening included Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows star Jared Harris who arrived with his longtime girlfriend Allegra Riggio (pictured), actress Adria Tennor from the Golden Globe winning film The Artist, Jessica Parker Kennedy from the movie 50/50. And one very ‘showbiz’ moment was when I spotted Burlesque director, Steven Antin chatting to Glee’s Damian McGinty (inset) and lead actor Liam McIntyre from the hit series Spartacus.
Nigel Day, the US Editor of Screen International, and Levon Minosian, the founder and CEO of Silverspoon Lifestyle Group, were also on hand at the event. The lively crowd enjoyed delicious appetizers provided by Romanov Restaurant, washed down with cocktails, and champagne as they sang and danced the night away to music provided by DJ Emma Ford.
A glamorous night to remember!
Sacha Baron Cohen Set to Star in Les Miserables Movie!
Posted on December 8th, 2011 at 7:59 am by SBGLA
According to reports Sacha Baron Cohen, best known to musical theatre fans for his part in Tim Burton’s Sweeny Todd opposite Helena Bonham Carter, has joined the upcoming Les Miserables movie as Monsieur Thernardier.
It had been suggested recently that Geoffrey Rush was in talks to take the part – Rush did an excellent job playing Inspector Javert opposite Liam Neeson and Claire Danes in the 1998 movie adaptation, which is still one of my favorite films!
Cohen, who’s recent roles include films such as Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan and Brüno, rounds of an all-star cast, that includes Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe as Javert.
Les Mis’ will also see Cohen reuniting with Bonham Carter, who has signed on to play Madame Thenardier. Rumor has it that Glee actress Lea Michele vying for the part of Eponine.
To say that I am very excited about this one is an understatement… Go Sacha; Hollywood will make true thespian out of you yet!
Chezza Preps for Hollywood Debut Opposite Cameron Diaz
Posted on August 30th, 2011 at 6:39 pm by
After the many highs and lows she endured after being fired as a judge on the U.S X Factor, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for singer Cheryl Cole.
Who would have believed all those weeks ago when Cheryl was hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons, we’d get to see her parading around a REAL Hollywood movie set with none other than Cameron Diaz, oo-er…
My word, god works in mysterious ways!
Looking slim and toned after hitting the gym in LA just before filming, the former Girls Aloud star is set to hit the big-time for real now.
Not only has she landed a starring role on Glee, but yesterday ‘our’ Chezza was spotted filming scenes for a new film called What To Expect When You’re Expecting in Atlanta, Georgia.
And what seems could be a little a sideswipe at Simon Cowell, Cheryl is playing a TV talent show judge for her cameo role.
Um, so there might not be too much acting involved for this part then, eh Chezza!
Cheryl also started Tweeting again after a two month break, when she wrote: ‘It’s me CC! WHERE MY SOLDIERS AT…….?!!! I can’t believe what my fingers are doing, but yes I’m tweeting: -s so here goes…X.’
Then she tweeted her new co-star Diaz, who just turned 39. She said: ‘Happy birthday Cameron, you sexy beeeyyaatchh…X.’
Hmm, Calling Cameron Diaz a “Beeeyyaatchh”… A little over familiar of her if you ask me, what was she thinking?
Cole and Diaz must be firm Bff’s already, or I am pretty sure Chezza wouldn’t get away such name calling… Remember those Charlie’s Angels high kicks Diaz once performed… Er, say no more!
Chezza (Still) Set To Crack the U.S!
Posted on August 16th, 2011 at 6:09 pm by Nick Crew
Its been quite a rollercoaster of a ride for Cheryl Cole since heading stateside, what with being on the US X Factor, then not, brought back, then fired again, we could hardly keep up!
But now it seems things are finally looking up for Miss Cole, as its been reported that she has landed a role in the hit TV show, Glee!
If correct then the 28-year-old could be following in the footsteps of Gwyneth Paltrow and Britney Spears, who have both made cameos on the globally huge show.
It seems her management are extremely keen make the singer a massive success in the states and are also lining up a possible role in another hit TV show, How I Met Your Mother.
Glee is one of the most popular shows on the planet at the moment, it has aired in over 44 countries and its stars are known worldwide… So if global fame is what Cheryl wants, then this is not a bad place to start.
Matthew Morrison, who plays teacher Will Schuester told Reveal magazine back in June: “Appearing in Glee would be a good way for Cheryl to crack America. She was part of FOX when she was involved in US X Factor - they also make Glee. Maybe she will get an appearance – you know know!”
By the sounds of it, Mr. Morrison might have known about this all along if you ask me…
And if starring in Glee wasn’t enough, our Chez’ is planning on hitting up the big screens too, the former Girls Aloud singer is also set to appear in the forthcoming movie What To Expect When You’re Expecting, based on the successful pregnancy guide and starring big Hollywood names such as Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, and Matthew Morrison…
Back from the brink it seems… Simon gave poor ol’ Chezza the boot… Bah! What does he know anyway!?!?
The Winners (and Losers) of the 2011 Golden Globe Awards!
Posted on January 16th, 2011 at 11:43 pm by
I thought the 2011 Golden Globes was a roaring success, hosted once again by Ricky Gervais, who kicked off the event with some great commentary on some of the more terrible nominees like The Tourist. However, this year the British funnyman barely managed to walk the fine line between some totally offensive jokes to laughworthy quips.
On top of that we were often left wondering why Gervais would inexplicably disappear for huge chunks of time, unlike in 2010 when his presence seemed to dominate the podium for most of the whole show.
Had Ricky seriously pi**ed somebody off this time around?! I think so…
Even my pal, CNN’s Piers Morgan tweeted curiously:“Gervais not seen for an hour now. #whatthehellhappened.” Followed up by: “Where is Ricky Gervais? Seriously.”
Perhaps it was this comment that might have him in hot water with some of Hollywood’s elite, when he said: “Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor - two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay, so the complete opposite of some famous scientologists then,” Gervais said before adding, “My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke. They’re not here.”
You could hear the shock reaction pouring from the audience as they gasped at his slanderous humor. Gervais is a very funny guy indeed, but attacking religion or sexuality should never be up for laughs, I personally feel he went a bit too far this time. I had visions of the comedian being reprimanded backstage for his unwarranted remarks, at least that would explain his disappearing act!
After Gervais finally returned to our screens appearing slightly ‘subdued’ Piers continued his tweeting with, “Re Ricky “MIA” Gervais – blimey, hope this isn’t what they do to all Brits on TV in America. #bitesnails.” Well, let’s certainly hope not, eh Piers!
The big winner of the night was The Social Network, picking up four awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Score.
Glee stole the show on the TV side, taking home Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical, while Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer received best supporting actress and actor wins.
Robert De Niro accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement from Matt Damon for his performances in movies such as Taxi Driver, The Godfather, Part II and Goodfellas. The actor joked that his less noted films such as Frankenstein, Jacknife, and Little Fockers were missing from the presentation reel.
Michael Douglas looked well on the road to recovery and received a standing ovation as he took to the stage to present the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama.
Douglas, pictured (right) posing with his gorgeous wife Catherine Zeta Jones, and another happy couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, won huge laughs from the audience when he joked about his warm reception, he said: “There’s got to be an easier way to get a standing ovation.
Thank you all very much. I’m really very, very happy to be here tonight.”
Aww, and we were happy to see you there too Michael!

“Glee Me!” Says John Barrowman
Posted on July 15th, 2010 at 8:04 am by
Landing a part on Glee seems to be the growing trend in Hollywood these days, everyone wants in!
According to creator Ryan Murphy, a Britney Spears episode has just been given the green light, and recently Katy Perry publicly begged to be on the show.
Now, word reaches us that Torchwood star John Barrowman just met with the shows casting directors. He said, “I have no idea if I’ll be in it, I met with their casting people and I said I’d love to be in it – I’d be good as one of Rachel’s gay dads.”
What a cool idea! I might have to get in on the act; even my neighbor Matt Morrison has a part in the show playing Schuester … Time to ring his doorbell, me thinks!
Katy’s Feeling Glee-dy!

Katy Perry’s first foray into acting wasn’t too successful – she was cut from her cameo in fiance Russell Brand’s movie, Get Him to the Greek. However, the singer hasn’t given up and wants to make an appearance on Emmy-nominated show Glee.
In fact she’s so keen, she wants her fans to campaign to get her a role.
She said: “Please! I would love somebody to start that Facebook group and persuade them. I would absolutely love that.”
I think Katy would be great on the show. Her love of camping it up and belting out a tune would fit perfectly. The Facebook group has started!
