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!
Hugh Jackman Dressed Up as Schoolgirl to Sing Karaoke with RPatz!

Back in 2009, there was a report that Hugh Jackman and Robert Pattinson hung out together at a karaoke bar in Japan. However, it was only recently that the report was in fact confirmed by the Real Steel actor himself.
In an interview with MTV news Jackman revealed: “I actually did karaoke with Rob. That’s random, isn’t it?” Jackman elaborated: “We were on our way to Japan, and he was promoting [Twilight] and I didn’t talk to him at all on the flight, because he’s this really tall guy with a hood over his head literally, and every time I’d go to the bathroom, I’d be like, ‘Man, that guy takes some serious sleeping pills,’ because [he was sleeping] the whole time.”
The Wolverine actor explained how he and Rob ended up at a Japanese karaoke bar together when he added: “When he got out, I was like, ‘Hey, man’ and Baz Luhrmann was also on the flight because we were promoting [the film] Australia. So we went out to this Japanese karaoke bar, and we invited Rob, and he came.”
Jackman admitted what happened after the celebrities arrived at the bar when he said: “The first thing you do is you get inside this room, the doors are closed, and there’s, like, eight of you.“ The Australian actor continued: “So it feels a little weird. And then all of a sudden, they open, and they bring in these boxes, which are basically [full of] dess-up [clothes], and it’s all girls’ clothes. I was a schoolgirl, Baz got dressed up, and Rob did not. He was too cool for school.”
Hugh certainly has some interesting hobbies. Hopefully he is aware that these kind of anecdotes are what continually perpetuate the gay rumours. We are compelled to wonder what else Hugh did or wanted to do with Rob on that fateful night in Japan…
Butler Ditches the Just for Men for the Natural Grey Look!
Posted on February 23rd, 2011 at 10:20 am by Nick Crew
Perhaps this new look could be for a film role? Gerard Butler is set to star in a new comedy called Playing the Field, in which he plays the coach of his son’s soccer team, but in true Butler fashion he ends up seducing all the gorgeous mothers…could that involve a middle-aged grey haired guy?
Another possible reason could be the guy is just stressed! I mean there’s just no stopping him right now. He has two films set to be release later this year, Machine Gun Preacher, a true story of Sam Childers, a former drug-dealing biker who became a crusader for hundreds of Sudanese children forced to become soldiers. And the other, Movie 43, which sees Butler star along side a host of big name Hollywood actors including Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Naomi Watts, and Uma Thurman. Wow not a bad cast! Wait…I forgot one other, fellow grey-haired actor also appearing… Richard Gere, bet those two had lots to talk about, er, hair-wise…
Whatever the reason is for Gerard’s grey looking locks, one thing’s for sure, there’s nothing wrong growing out gracefully in my opinion. For what it’s worth, I think it rather suits him. It’s certainly worked for George Clooney!
Heartthrob? You Might Want To Mullet Over!

There was something different about chubby Scotsman Gerard Butler as he filmed scenes in a Detroit trailer park yesterday. Was it the the tattoos. leather waistcoat or Harley Davidson T-shirt?
Nope, it was the greasy, slicked back mullet that he was sporting!
The actor was shooting The Machine Gun Preacher and his new (well, really it’s retro I guess!) look was for his role in the movie. But although there’s a slight Wolverine look about him when he’s on his motorbike, I think Hugh Jackman’s the only one who can pull that ‘do off!
