Conservative Film Scholar Concerned That Iraq-Based Films Are 'Relentless Downers', Would Prefer More Iraqi Ass-Kicking

Our condolences go out this morning to Paramount, whose sulky, twangy, denim-and-rippling-flesh marketing push for Stop-Loss couldn't trick weekend moviegoers into checking out yet another Iraq War message movie. At Defamer HQ, the search for answers behind the disappointing $4.5 million gross — too many muscle shirts? Ryan Phillippe/Abbie Cornish babymaking rumors peaked too soon? — extended to the conservative journal Men's News Daily, where crack industry analyst Greg Strange's devastating Monday-morning hindsight is sharper than ever:
When are these filmmakers going to connect the dots? Do they really think this is what American audiences want to see? It may well be that the majority of Americans wish we had never gotten into this war, but that doesn't mean they want to see the country's finest young people depicted as rapists, murderers or even just run-of-the-mill, psychologically damaged basket cases returning from combat. ...

Breaking: Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish are Expecting (To Put Lawyers on Fox Gossip's Doorstep)!

Resident Fox gossipmonger Roger Friedman outdid himself this morning with the "news" that romantically linked Stop-Loss co-stars Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish are "apparently having a child." You wouldn't know it now, of course, with Friedman's allegation deleted from his copy without any note or citation from his editors at Fox News. Thank goodness for the quick-thinking eagle-eyes at The Huffington Post, who nabbed a screengrab of the offending passage you can spy after the jump. More »

Jay Leno Tickled By Ryan Phillippe's Former Role As Gay Teen

On last Wednesday's The Tonight Show, Towleroad notes, Ryan Phillippe popped by to promote Stop-Loss. Host Jay Leno—a man being courted aggressively by studios and networks, with promises of eight-figure contracts and brand new theaters bearing his name—opened the interview with questions about Phillippe's first paying job on One Life To Live.

Are Ryan Phillippe's Abs Enough To Convince Audiences To See An Iraq-Themed Movie?

Judging from the TV ads and posters for Stop-Loss, the film looks as if it would be just another teen flick where pretty boys with pretty faces chase some equally pretty girls with equally pretty faces. However, director Kimberly Peirce's first film since Boys Don't Cry is actually a big, serious movie about the plight of soldiers fighting in Iraq. But before you go and tune out the film solely on the basis of it being another one of those dirge-like films, it's worth noting that THR is predicting that this may be the very first movie centered around the War in Iraq that actually breaks through with both critics and audiences:

"The recent boxoffice fate of Iraq movies has prompted Paramount to take a notably careful approach that downplays the war. The movie is being sold as an MTV Films picture with an attractive young cast (Ryan Phillippe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt) that will lure people to theaters for other reasons."

Apple/'Idol' Partnership Produces The Prone-To-Breakdowns iPaula

· In an uncomfortable marriage pitting one of the coolest brands on the planet with, um, a lesser-cool brand, Apple has become a signature sponsor of American Idol. What does this mean for you, the Apple/Idol fan? iTunes carries show downloads, the iPod becomes the show's "official digital music player," and the company's next top-secret product launch, the iPaula, will perform all the functions of the iPhone, but with improved wasted and weepy functionality. [Variety]
· Toshiba concedes defeat in the high-def war, giving Blu-ray the official win, and relegating HD-DVD to the obsolete technology junkpile. (Attention unnamed dance-punk bands: Blu-Ray Or HD-DVD is up for grabs!) [Variety] More »

Ryan Phillippe Seeking Shared Custody Of Children, Dignity In Divorce Proceeding

Things may not have ended well between America's Current Sweetheart Reese Witherspoon and her caddish, underemployed ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, but the couple appears to be moving on: Reese is reportedly in fake-love with Jake Gyllenhaal, and the divorce proceedings appear to be humming along smoothly:

Ryan Phillippe CareerWatch: Actor Reportedly Not As Desperate As Previously Believed

In the interest of updating the record on last Friday's item speculating about the health of Ryan Phillippe's career following an e-mail solicitation ostensibly offering up the actor for the kind of party-hosting gigs that now pay Tara Reid's mortgage, we pass along this clarification from the owner of Esterman Entertainment, the talent booking service advertising Phillippe's availability: More »

Ryan Phillippe CareerWatch: Actor Now Entertaining Party Hosting Offers


We realize that it's never a good idea for a Hollywood couple's less successful half to abandon the security that comes with a life of being married to an A-list earner, but are things already so bad for Ryan Phillippe that he's open to taking party hosting gigs? This limited time opportunity landed in our inbox as part of personal appearance booking agency Esterman Entertainment's e-mail update on the talent they offer (among other performers featured: Webster, C.C. DeVille, Ron Jeremy) for all of your mall-opening and wet-t-shirt-contest-emceeing needs. While we'd never begrudge a guy the chance to pick up some easy money in between movies (he's even on Ellen today plugging his new film), he should enter this world knowing that seemingly innocent hosting jobs are a proven gateway to the pure celebsploitation of the Australian horse auction circuit.

Great Moments In Flackery: Ryan Phillippe Fires PR Firm For Allegedly Fabricating Boring Quotes About His Break-Up

In a story that will chill you to the very bone and render completely useless everything you thought you knew about the unimpeachable ethics of public relations firms that service celebrities, Page Six reports that Ryan Phillippe has fired crisis management firm Sitrick and Co. for fabricating some utterly bland quotes about the break-up of his marriage that were used in an In Touch cover story. Shocking accusations of non-kosherness, uncoolitude, and fucking lying follow: More »

Phillippe's Making Out With A Co-Star In A Restaurant May Have Been Warning Sign That His Marriage In Trouble

We know that the two days following the announcement of the end of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's marriage have been a dark, confusing time for you, during which you lost hours of much-needed sleep as you tried to understand how the complicated interpersonal dynamics inherent in any Hollywood union where one partner is far more successful than the other (see also: Swank, Hilary and Swank, Guy Who Married Hilary) might have slowly frayed the couple's love-bond. Us Weekly's story about the break-up releases you from your mental torment, as the proffered explanation is simplicity itself: Phillippe has allegedly "grown close to" (i.e., is schtupping raw) a co-star, a relationship-dissolving method recently embraced by leading men far more accomplished than himself. An alert reader has noticed that the actress's IMDb page is already starting to look like a photo album commemorating the blossoming of their professional collaboration to a personal one, lacking only images of the duo retreating to Phillippe's trailer for the downtime rendevzous that always begins with the words, "Tell me again about how you don't have an Oscar. That gets me so hot."

Reese Witherspoon And Ryan Phillippe's Wholesome Hollywood Camelot Crumbles

Hollywood's apple pie couple—button-nosed screen dumpling Reese Witherspoon and husband Ryan Phillippe, currently featured on the cover of Interview magazine in a portrait sure to stir up your every homopatriotic, tree-climbing-related emotion—have announced through their publicist that they have separated, for "cumulative" reasons. Were we the self-starting and/or technically gifted types, we would accompany this regrettable announcement with a slow-motion video montage of the couple's happiest public moments, set to the wistful strains of Witherspoon's own rendition of "Wildwood Flower." (Or, if there were licensing issues, Bird York's equally haunting and not entirely lyrically inappropriate Crash soundtrack contribution, "In The Deep.") We wonder who, if anyone, will be there to cheer on Phillippe should he be nominated for his Flags of Our Fathers work at this year's Golden Globes, as the sad reality sets in that any hopes of witnessing Witherspoon return a desperate, spine-snapping bear-hug of the sort she absorbed from her spouse at last year's ceremony have essentially turned to dust.

Ryan Phillippe Meets Morgan Freeman

We tried to watch the SAGgies last night, but our increasingly sentient-seeming TiVo talked us out of it by politely suggesting that we might better enjoy a recorded rerun of Project Runway instead. (Oh, that wacky Santino! What will he design next?) Luckily, Would You Blog Me was tuned in, and caught this brief on-stage expression of idol worship following Crash's big win: More »
