Let’s start the week of by looking at the new pictures of Susan Sarandon‘s daughter Eva Amurri from the new issue of Maxim Magazine and boy is this a nice way to start the week. Here’s a snippet of her interview:
Will we ever see you on Dancing With the Stars? “No chance! But we do Dancing With the Stars in our living room sometimes. Kyle can do a mean “Thriller” dance, so we try to top each other with Michael Jackson moves.”
We must compliment your performance as a stripper in Californication. Was that tough for you? “Not at all. I loved it! I’ve wanted to play that part my entire life. You can tell from the way girls dress on Halloween, we just want to wear cute outfits that let us show off. We’re always told, “You can’t look like a slut,” so to be able to prance around like we do in our bedrooms, it was a dream come true.”
Where else can we expect to see you soon? “I just shot a movie with Donald Faison called Stag. It’s a comedy about friends getting ready for a bachelor party. I play this nightmare high-maintenance starlet, a composite of a few people. It was fun to play an extreme stereotype.”
Growing up around Hollywood types must have made it easier. Was it hard having a famous mom? “We don’t really look alike, and I have a different last name, so in auditions a lot of people didn’t know. But people love “got off the bus from Idaho” stories, so they’re not rooting for you if you’re from a family that’s done it. They think you don’t deserve it, even if you’re working to fight that perception. But it’s also great in some ways, so, you know, don’t cry for me, Argentina.”
I’ve never really heard of Eva Amurri before but I definitely want to see more of her if this is the type of photoshoots she is willing to do.
Happy Friday everyone! For today’s top ten celebrity quotes of the week, we’ve got some good ones! We’ve got Heidi Montag talking about massaging her breast implants, John Stamos’ ‘Glee’ nosiness and Tim Gunn hiding out from ‘Vogue’ editrix Anna Wintour.

What was your favorite celebrity quote this week? Mine was the judge in Snooki’s case comparing her to Lindsay Lohan. That was genius.
Susan Sarandon made a surprise appearance Tuesday evening at indie rock band Of Montreal’s concert in New York City.
While celebs in attendance at concerts tend to fade into the background of roped-off VIP sections, Sarandon surprised everyone at Highline Ballroom by taking the stage and proceeding to sternly spank two naughty pigs (well, men dressed in pig costumes) with a ruler.
Seems like Sarandon, who at 63 separated from her longtime love Tim Robbins, is really enjoying herself, even if that includes spanking people dressed as pigs. Talk about bizarre!
Sarandon was also recently rumored to be involved with 31-year-old Jonathan Brinklin, a partner in Spin, a Flatiron District pingpong club Sarandon invested in. But both have denied the rumors.

This isn’t your average teenage pin-up calendar — not when the women photographed carry titles like congresswoman and columnist.
On Friday, the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute plans to release its fifth annual Great American Conservative Woman calendar. Demand is already so high for the 2010 run that the institute expects it to sell out, and may order a second printing, according to de facto calendar spokeswoman Alyssa Cordova, the lecture director for the institute.
She didn’t win the Miss USA pageant, but Carrie Prejean still holds a place in many conservatives’ hearts. The beauty queen is featured as Miss October in the 2010 Great American Conservative Women calendar, the fifth produced by the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute.
Best-selling author and media personality Ann Coulter appears as Miss September. “Each of the women featured in this calendar epitomizes both the brains and beautify of the modern conservative woman,” said Alyssa Cordova, the institute’s policy director and de facto calendar spokeswoman.
The women all appear in simple white shirts this year, a departure from last year’s mink. Here, popular speaker and chairperson of the Virginia GOP Kate Obenshain poses for the calendar.
I’m laughing hard at the lady in the middle!!
From left to right, the women appearing in the fifth annual calendar are: Bay Buchanan, Prejean, Rep. Michele Bachmann, S.E. Cupp, Star Parker, Phyllis Schlafly, Kellyanne Conway, Coulter, Obenshain, Michelle Malkin, and Marji Ross. The publication inspired a challenge from the Huffington Post, which asked for nominations for a liberal calendar.
The calendar is available free to college students or in exchange for a $25 donation on the organization’s Web site.
Meanwhile, Huffington Post has countered with a request for readers to name their liberal calendar girls. Nominees include outspoken actress Susan Sarandon, liberal talking head Rachel Maddow and of course, Arianna Huffington (the Web site’s co-founder and editor-in-chief).
10. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling
You didn’t think we’d write a list of our favorite movie couples without mentioning these two, did you? Tender, passionate, and deeply romantic, McAdams and Gosling in “The Notebook†simultaneously break our hearts and give us reason to believe in love. We’d be thrilled to see them together again on-screen and in real life.
9. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal
Sadly, we know this is a coupling we won’t ever get to see again, but since this is a fantasy list after all, we couldn’t pass up the chance to gush about these two together. Watching Heath and Jake roll around in the hay in “Brokeback Mountain†proved to us that guy-on-guy action? So effing hot.
8. Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon
They weren’t a romantic couple, but in “Thelma and Louise,†the mother of all chick flicks, Davis and Sarandon reignited Girl Power and proved that sometimes the deepest love is platonic in nature.
7. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes
On their own — or with other people — neither of these two thespians are the most likable on our list, but together, as they were in the 1996 remake of “Romeo and Juliet,†they’re totally captivating. Gone are all signs of the pretensiousness we’ve come to expect from Danes in her more recent movies, and DiCaprio’s over-acting is diluted to tolerable measure with his co-star’s sweet subtlety.
6. Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman
Sure, they played a couple in the middle of a divorce and nasty custody battle in the 1979 film, “Kramer vs. Kramer,†but the tenderness between them — not to mention the amazing Academy Award-winning acting — is something we need more of today. Plus, they’ve both had such impressive careers in the nearly 30 years since, we think there’s a great chance to catch lightning in a jar again if these two were to ever reunite on-screen.
5. Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray
Le sigh! Has there been a more bittersweet love story in recent cinematic history than between these two in “Lost in Translation� While we love Bill Murray is nearly anything in which he appears, Scarlett Johansson’s luster just isn’t as shiny without him by her side. Together, they have a chemistry that is more kindred spirit than hot passion, a connection we yearn to see more of in this day of gratuitous sex overload.
4. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
So iconic as a couple, they don’t even need last names, but as Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the 2005 movie of the same name, the sexiest couple alive proved to viewers exactly why they belong together. The chemistry between them is palpable, and watching them together, most of us don’t know whom to envy more — her for getting to kiss him, or him for kissing her.
3. Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne
They steamed things up together in the 1993 Tina Turner biography, “What’s Love Got to Do with It?â€, earning Bassett an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, and Fishburne his first Oscar nomination. Fishburne has stated about Bassett: “An electrifying thing happens when the two of us work together. I haven’t experienced it with anyone else.†We experience it, too, Laurence. And we want more.
2. Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp
Surely there’s enough water under the bridge for these two, who broke their engagement in the early ’90s, to reunite on the big screen again. They were perfectly sweet and enchanting together in the 1990 movie “Edward Scissorhands†and the sight of those big, soulful eyes they both share is enough to elicit a deep sigh from even the most stoic.
1. Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey
Forget Kate and Leo; we want to see Kate and Jim together again. “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind†is one of the few movies we’ve seen Jim Carrey in that hasn’t made us want to claw our eyes out. In fact, Carrey was downright charming, something we’re pretty sure he needs Winslet to pull off. So, what are they waiting for?
MTV is doing the time warp on a remake of 1975 cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Many feel that MTV is jacking with taboo — that the remake shouldn’t happen.
Lou Adler, exec producer of the original film, is partnering with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios on the new rendition. The two-hour remake will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien but may also include music not featured in the original.
Timetable for the start of production hasn’t been established yet but the partners aim to move forward quickly once the final elements are in place.
“I’d like to see it shown a year from this coming Halloween, but that’s up to MTV,” Adler said.
BermanBraun principal Gail Berman will exec produce the project along with partner Lloyd Braun. Berman has been attached to a “Rocky Horror” remake dating back to her tenure as Fox programming chief (Daily Variety, July 1, 2002).
The original “Rocky Horror,” starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick and Meatloaf, has grossed $140 million in domestic box office over the years, primarily from the wallets of youthful audience members who have shown up for midnight screenings over the past three decades.
Hollywood is attempting to destroy every good thing we have left.
