Josh Brolin as George W. Bush

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Thursday, May 8, 2008

Here’s the first pictures of Josh Brolin as George W. Bush and Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush for the movie “W.”

The GWB biopic will chronicle the life and presidency of the 43rd President of the United States of America. Bush is reportedly portrayed in the film as a foul-mouthed, reformed drunk obsessed with baseball, Saddam Hussein and the conflicted relationship with his dad.

Directing is Oliver Stone, whose film credits include Nixon and JFK.

Here’s the rest of the cast: Thandie Newton as National Security Advisor turned secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Ioan Gruffudd as Tony Blair, Rob Corddry as Ari Fleischer, James Cromwell as George Herbert Walker Bush, Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush and Jeffrey Wright as General Colin Powell.

Elizabeth Banks GQ Photos (NSFW)

Freddy @ Gone Hollywood | Thursday, October 18, 2007

Elizabeth Banks, the “40 Year Old Virgin” hottie, is interviewed and photographed at GQ.

Just when you thought you’d sooner sport a Santa cap at the office holiday party than show up to see Vince Vaughn in Fred Claus—this year’s front-runner for the annual Tim-Allen-Christmas-Schlock Award—you turn the page and there’s Elizabeth Banks. The one who plays, as she puts it, “the ‘Mistress of the Elves’…though perhaps that’s a little more sexual than I should imply.” And while this fact alone could fill you with enough childlike wonderment to last the New Year, know this: In real life, Banks is at least as much of a go-getter as her role as Santa’s overachieving helper implies. As you talk with her, she tells you some things—that she graduated from Penn, that you should have gone with Maroney over Tomlinson on your fantasy squad, that she’s just wrapped a movie in which she stars opposite one of her comedy idols, Eddie Murphy (it’s called Starship Dave, out next year)—that make you think, I could learn a thing or two. Here’s what we picked up.
