VIDEO: Justin Timberlake’s Bizarre Mother’s Day Gift

May 11th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff

Looks like Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg have done it again.

This time, the duo who bought you the ultimate romantic gift suggestion with their video for "Dick in a Box," have reunited to share their thoughts — and a lot more — in their latest Saturday Night Live clip, which aired for the first time this past weekend.

In a bizarre — and somewhat stomach-churning — celebration of Mother’s Day, the thoughtful lads have ditched their infamous boxes and are showing a little bit of love for the mothers of the world… well, more specifically, each other’s mom.

That’s right, Justin and Andy offer to romance the other’s mother, played by Hollywood hotties Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson.

Justin was so proud of the video that he and girlfriend Jessica Biel at Lucky Strike Lane’s Luxe Lounge in NYC, where they were joined by SNL star Kenan Thompson as well as Gossip Girl couple Blake Lively and Penn Badgley.

Susan Sarandon Says Obama Girls “Just Lovely”

January 20th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff

OK! caught up with Susan Sarandon at The Creative Coalition Dinner Pre-Gala Dinner at Teatro Goldini in Washington, D.C., on Monday, where the actress shared her thoughts on President Barack Obama’s adorable daughters, Malia and Sasha.

"I met them in Iowa. I was there, and my daughter has a great picture of us all together," Sarandon told OK!. "They were just lovely, and really smart. I don’t think that they seemed particularly phased [by the attention]. I think that they are going to handle fame fine."

Sarandon, who is in D.C. to support President Obama’s Inauguration as the 44th president of the United States, said the Obama girls’ grounded natures come from good parenting.

"Their family structure is very tight, and responsible," she tells OK!. " It’s not like they have been thrust into the public life overnight. This is certainly bigger, but they seem very grounded. They are a great family, and they have a great extended family. I can’t even imagine giving them any advice. I am sure that they have gotten it from their parents."

Katie’s Co-stars Miss Her Already!

January 12th, 2009

As Katie Holmes disappeared into the night sky after her final performance in Arthur Miller’s All My Sons yesterday, her co-stars told OK! they’re going to miss her company — and her talent.

And it sounds like the feeling is mutual! When she made her way out of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre for the final time with daughter Suri in her arms, OK! asked Katie if she had loved being a Broadway star.

 

Looking like she was still on a high from a standing ovation from a packed house, Katie beamed, "Yes!"

 

3rd Rock from the Sun’s John Lithgow who has starred opposite Katie as Joe Keller, since the show opened in September, told OK!, "We’ll all miss Katie. Everybody adores her — any of us will tell you that."

Meanwhile, Dexter actor Christian Camargo, who played Katie’s character’s brother, George Deever, said that he had loved getting to know her — and her superstar husband!

"She was amazing to work with — the integrity, the work ethic," he told OK!.

 

"I can’t wait to work with her again."

 

"Tom was our number one fan," he added. "He came and saw the show 25 times!"

Christian told us that after an emotional farewell after the curtain fell on the five-month stint, the close cast had given the Dawson’s Creek star gifts to remind her of her first major theater run.

"Mainly sentimental things," he explained, "like pictures of her experience, scrapbooks - all stuff to symbolize her debut on Broadway."

Theater veteran Damian Young, who put in a comic turn as a neighborhood doctor, told us he had been impressed with the first-timer as well.

 

"She was courageous; would try anything," he said. "We had a crazy rehearsal process with all these games and excercises, and she — like everyone else — dove right in. I’ll miss her."

Over the past couple of weeks, theater-loving celebs have rushed to catch their last chance to see the show.

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker went on Friday Jan 9, and Broadway veteran Nathan Lane took in the penultimate performance on Saturday Jan 10.

Leo DiCaprio, Susan Sarandon and her husband Tim Robbins have all caught All My Sons in recent weeks, too.

Susan Sarandon’s Amazing Birthday Gift!

October 29th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Apparently a nice new pair of socks isn’t a good enough birthday gift for Susan Sarandon’s husband.
 
Instead, she surprised Tim Robbins on his 50th birthday with a movie that had taken her a year to produce!
 
As well as messages from, amongst others, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Springsteen, Kevin Costner and Jack Black — plus a skit by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert — Susan even managed to dig up ancient footage of the Shawshank star at camp!
 
"He was so shocked," Susan told OK! at a Vacheron Constantin party in New York, "it almost killed him! I was very proud of myself."

 

You better get thinking Tim, because that’s a tough gift to follow!

Tim Robbins Gets a Star on the Walk of Fame

October 13th, 2008

Tim Robbins is not only an Academy-Award winning actor, he’s now, literally, part of Hollywood’s history.

On Friday, the actor received his own glittering star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

 "I used to take the bus from here to Burbank to go to work," the Shawshank Redemption star said during the ceremony.  "When the bus was late, I would walk up and down and throw my cigarettes down.  Now I have the honor of having this done to my star."

Robbins’ star was placed next to longtime love and partner, Susan Sarandon’s star, who  attended the ceremony along with Jack Black, who said he’s known Tim for 25 years.

"I literally looked up to him," Black joked.  "I actually became his stalker because I wanted to be part of his world."

A California native, Tim, 49, was nominated for best director at the 1996 Academy Awards for Dead Man Walking, a film which won Sarandon a best actress Oscar for her role as a nun who becomes sympathetic to a man on death row (played by Sean Penn.)

"I’m so pleased to be part of his life, and I want to present Tim’s best production–our three kids," Sarandon said.

In 2004, Robbins won a best supporting actor Oscar for his role as a man haunted by memories of childhood abuse in Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River.

Jenna Fischer’s Burger Lust

October 13th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Calorie counting is usually a life’s work for most actresses.

But not The Office’s Jenna Fischer — when her prime-time run is over, she says, bring on the burgers!

“As soon as I’m off TV, I’m going to balloon up 20 pounds,” Jenna, who plays receptionist Pam Beesly, told OK! at an L.A. party for Tommy Hilfiger’s Bravo special Ironic Iconic America.

Until then? “I work hard,” says the star, who also appeared in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Blades of Glory. “I eat rather healthy, even when I don’t want to.”

Don’t start sharpening your steak knives quite yet, Jenna — with the run away success of The Office, it looks like you’ll be in demand for a long time to come!

In fact, she’s already rumored to be making a movie called Solitary Man with Susan Sarandon, Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito.

Bill Murray Jokes Around

October 10th, 2008

Bill Murray playfully punches me in the stomach right before this photo is snapped during the City of Ember junket held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in NYC. Yikes!

“Where are you from?” he asks me, and fingers my Press Association pal Shereen Low’s jade necklace (she has the furry microphone in the pic). “Can I have that?” he asks. He’s simply riffing on his shady character and how I asked him about his dark side moments before.

In the family adventure flick, Bill is the corrupt mayor and Tim Robbins plays a father dealing with a crumbling city set in the future. So, Bill, about your dark side…

“I don’t consider it theft when sometimes you encounter an object or a thing that isn’t really being used correctly or properly,” he deadpans. “Occasionally there are things that are just laying there doing nothing. And they’re not being used and they’re not being appreciated.”

He continues, “If there was something that was laying around, then – it was in your garage and it had been there for nine years and it was just covered with dust and it was like ‘are you kidding? This thing’s great. Sometimes I feel the need not to steal it from you, but to liberate that object from its bondage.”

So apparently he thinks Shereen’s jade necklace isn’t being used properly, and offers to pass it along to someone who can better wear it. “Am I going to see you two again?” he asks us.

Back to the flick …

Aside from corruption, the residents of Ember are witnessing their city falling apart. What kind of experience has Tim had with natural disasters? Susan Sarandon’s beau has been through the NYC blackouts and California earthquakes. Scary!

“People started barbecues on the street during the blackouts,” Tim laughs. “It was really fun. I got my camera out and stayed up all night and took pictures. I was in a hotel during an earthquake and it moved. I was way up high and it moved. It moved like that [makes motion]. That was really scary. And then I looked out the window and I saw those flashes of light that happen when there are interruptions of power. That was apocalyptic and crazy.”

Bill moved into NYC’s famed Plaza Hotel during a power failure.

“I was with an entire group of kids and a dog, and they gave us the Presidential Suite, which is kind of funny. The same architect built my house as built the Presidential Suite in the Plaza Hotel.  It felt like home. To have sirens and alarms going off nonstop, it drives you nuts.”

Tim chuckles. “I have this view of Northern Manhattan, and during the last blackout there was one light on in the entire city. You know what it was? It was the letters G-E on top of the GE building.”

On the way out, I pick up two City of Ember hoodies. My brother Jeff will love it … he can’t get enough freebies from Sis. ; )

City of Ember is in theaters now.
