'Young Adult' Photos: Charlize Theron may be the New Face of Awkward Social Interactions

In limited release on 12 ,. 9 (before growing on 12 ,. 16), 'Young Adult' reunites Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman the very first time since 'Juno,' try not to expect many warm and cuddlies: the film is really a caustic and funny anti-romantic comedy in regards to a disillusioned YA author named Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron), who heads to her home town and attempts to reunite together with her senior high school boyfriend, Buddy (Patrick Wilson). The only issue? He's happily married (to 'Breaking Dawn' co-star Elizabeth Reaser) along with a new father. Awkward! Also, awesome, because it offers Mavis and her old senior high school classmate (Patton Oswalt) the opportunity to irritatingly make an effort to win Buddy back. Hijinks naturally ensue, most of which you are able to spy during these recently launched stills from 'Young Adult.'

Dwts Episode Recap: Tuesday, November. 22, 2011

Dancing using the Stars' top three couples face off for that final time before a brand new champion is crowned. Plus: The cast returns and someone vogues!Around the menu tonight: two more dances (favorite dance of year and also the Instant samba), the entire cast, and numerous of performances and fluff pieces. Oh, and someone will win. It needs to be J.R., right? Right. I won't believe Rob's late surge will derail this.Round 1All three couples will work a common dance of year. They will not get individual scores, but rather is going to be rated, getting 30 points for to begin with, 28 points for second and 26 points for third. Following this, the 3rd place finisher is going to be named.Ricki Lake and Derek Hough: tangoAh, the famous Psycho routine. They were given a 29 the very first time. It sucks whenever you redo a dance and obtain a lesser score the next time around, which under this scoring system includes a 66 percent possibility of happening. I would score this lower. It's competent, dramatic and technically proficient, but it is less engaging than the very first time. Len loves it. Ricki states it's memorable. Ricki calls her a fighter. "It had been perfect the very first time and it is perfect [the 2nd time]," she crows. Um, whether it was perfect the very first time, she would have become a 30.Score: 30 points (first place)Total: 84Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke: foxtrotRob picks the foxtrot since it was devoted to his jumps. When a daddy's boy, always a daddy's boy. They were given a 24 before. This really is less psychologically wrought than before and Take advantage of has more pep in the step. He messes up a move at the start and it is totally apparent about this, but overall it is a smooth, breezy number. Kim (covered in zebra print) and Kris (covered in fake tears) can barely contain their pride! Bruno states Take advantage of made the hiccup look charming. Barbara Ann states everything appears like it comes down simple to him now. Len does not worry about the slip because Take advantage of has got the best work associated with a guy he's seen on the program. Uh, say what? Much better than J.R.? Emmitt? Came? Donny? Apolo? Just how much is Kris having to pay the idol judges to blow smoke up his ass?Score: 26 (3rd place)Total: 83J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff: jiveThey got a 22 for by doing this in Week 2 when Len accused them to do an excessive amount of a lindy hop. To ensure that sequence and also the lift are out. Not too it matters since it is still pretty great. It's high-energy, stimulating and is ideal for J.R.'s pleased personality. Barbara Ann calls him a catalyst for pleasure and misses the lift. Can't get it for both, lady! Len states he just illuminates the area. Bruno gives him three "funs."Score: 28 (second place)Total: 82A one-point spread between everybody! Oh, show. Who did not check this out coming? This way they are able to put the "blame" on fans because of not voting if there is a backlash. Everyone haven't drawn this stunt shortly.And today time for you to crush someone's ballroom dreams. Third place would go to... Ricki and Derek. So Derek kisses his perfect finals record goodbye. He's now 3-1. To my best recollection (which goes back to how lengthy I have looked at this), this is actually the very first time the greatest-scoring couple that wasn't tied in to begin with is going in third. But it is not really a shocking positioning. Ricki's been consistent (she's capped the best choice board probably the most occasions with six), but she's no match for J.R.'s charisma or even the Kardashian group of followers. "I have loved every minute of the,Inch she states, saying thanks to Derek. "I really hope I have made the kids proud, my fiancé, my loved ones.InchT.Ur. and Karina, and Take advantage of and Cheryl will face served by the minute samba to Ough Martin's "Shake Your Bon Bon" (how right for Take advantage of!) They draw Mirrorballs, and J.R. goes first and Take advantage of, second. You heard right. Take advantage of Kardashian will dance the ultimate dance of year. Who had cash on that in August? That may simply be capped if he wins, which honestly isn't unthinkable whatsoever.Parade of Fallen StarsWhile they prepare, the season's casualties entertain us. We endure Metta, Elisabetta, Kristin (cute skirt, girl!) and Chynna, who redeems herself by doing the dance that froze her up the very first time, before Carson vogues! Yes! Just like the world intended. And it is just like fabulous because it sounds. Plus, Carson reaches check one factor off his bucket list: dancing having a Chmerkovskiy brother (Val). Seriously, men, hire him. This begins the very best 5 minutes since Tristan (and Nancy) follow in the Monty Python dark night gear (swoon!). Lacey's father, Buddy, joins her and Chaz for his or her number and it is essentially living proof that large men can move and move well. David and Kym placed on an adorable little remix of the Grease routine, the industry painful indication that David should have survived longer on the program. In addition painful? No Coco in the home. Boo! Hope and Maks close it having a reprise of her "breakthrough" quickstep. Company, Maks continues to be dragging her butt round the floor.Instant SambaThey dance back-to-back (what is the matter, men? Drained of your time inside a two-hour show?), and I'll provide the edge to J.R. and Karina. He's looser, faster and does some harder moves, whereas Take advantage of is mainly trembling his bon bon. Also, could it be just me or did Take advantage of and Cheryl's segment appear shorter? The idol judges shower all of them with praise. Yawn. Cause the 10s.Scores:J.R. and Karina: 30 Total: 112Rob and Cheryl: 30Total: 113 I understand, It's surprising it either. Take advantage of continues to have charge in the end that. However the judges' tongue-bathing and scores notwithstanding, J.R. did take it on themself for shanking his cha-cha badly last evening. A 1-point difference isn't much and simple to beat with fan votes, but this is actually the Kardashian posse we are speaking about here.Time has finally come. The those who win are... J.R. and Karina!And all sorts of is appropriate using the world. J.R.Is a perfectly-deserved champion and that i don't believe there's one individual outdoors the Kardashian Klan who'd argue this. Good job, America! "Thanks, America, for thinking in us," J.R. states before saying thanks to Karina. "I am so pleased to take part in the first Mirrorball trophy."Take advantage of and Cheryl, meanwhile, vow to determine one another every single day! You mean Kris will not hold a grudge against you because of not getting her boy the win? Seriously, though, let us look around the good side for Take advantage of: He's the only real Kardashian having a noticeable skill now. Yes, he probably will not still dance, but he is able to, which counts for something.What is your opinion? Are J.R. and Karina deserving champs? Had you been worried about Rob's high scores? Does Take advantage of possess the best work associated with a male superstar within the show's history? (The right response is no.) Would you like to style with Carson? Is he going to finally get his on the job Maks? Who would you like to see on the program next season?Seem off below and also have a great holiday! show less

Charlize Theron: Snow White & The Huntsman Is Ambitious

First Published: November 21, 2011 5:38 PM EST Credit: Getty Images LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Charlize Theron arrives at REACH: 24 Portraits by Randall Slavin Benefitting The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project at The Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles on October 12, 2011Charlize Theron says playing the Evil Queen in Snow White & The Huntsman has made her feel like a pre-teen. Ive been like a 12-year old Thats my castle, thats my house, she told Access Hollywood over the weekend at the Young Adult junket, miming scrolling through photos on her phone. The actress called the Snow White project, ambitious, and she said playing the Evil Queen Ravenna has been very fun. She still hasnt shot her scenes with Kristen Stewart, who plays the films title character. Instead, Charlize has been busy promoting Young Adult, her newest project, which is already getting an Oscar buzz. Its such a compliment, but you cant think about that stuff, Charlize told Access. Its a really nice thing, but I feel like the great, great gift in this whole thing is the fact that I havent worked in three years and [I got to] come back and work with this kind of a character and have a director like Jason Reitman. In Young Adult, Charlize plays a divorced woman who hopes to reignite a romance with a former flame (played by Patrick Wilson), who now has a wife and children. And the film includes at least one between-the-sheets moment for Charlize. This is what Im known for and I dont want to disappoint my fans, she joked, adding the scene benefited from the use of a lot of chicken cutlets. Theyre really amazing, she added of the bra-enhancers.

'Breaking Dawn' Publish-Credits Bonus Scene: Taunted in Trailer?

As fans well know, 'Breaking Beginning, Part 1' finishes on a bit of the cliffhanger, do not bolt for your exits when the credits start: There's an added bonus scene that teases a substantial conflict in 'Part 2,' as Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) tweeted earlier today. What's the scene in mind? Hint: you've really seen a chunk from this inside the trailer. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! Still here? Once the theatrical version of 'Breaking Dawn' is the same as the primary one examined for your press, the extra scene features the return in the Volturi, with Michael Sheen (as Aro) saying ominously, "They have something I'd like.In . That line is within the current trailer (below within the 3:06 mark), as they are a look at secretary Bianca (Ali Faulkner) being drawn away by mean-searching minions after you have an unpleasant message. Strangely enough, another scene from the different girl delivering an email for the Volturi was featured inside the wedding invite montage inside the first 'Breaking Dawn' trailer (just like the appearance below). So a brunette in the red-colored-colored dress shipped the wedding invitation without invoking the Volturi wrath, but poor Bianca can get it when letting them know about baby Renesme? Rough crowd! 'Breaking Beginning, Part 1' is presently in theaters. 'Part 2' comes to (gasp!) yearly. [Photos: Summit] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook

NBC unveils midseason sked

NBC removed three Thursday series from its midseason lineup, including 'Community.'New skein Are You There, Vodka? Its Me, Chelsea is set for Wednesday. NBCs 30 Rock returns to Thursdays, this time at 8 p.m. Smash premieres on NBC the day after the Super Bowl. Diana Maria Riva, Claudia Bassols, Cheech Marin, Rob Schneider, Eugenio Derbez and Lupe Ontiveros in CBS's "Rob!"NBC unveiled an aggressive reshuffling of its primetime programming for the midseason Monday, displacing three series from its Thursday lineup. CBS unveiled its midseason moves as well, making far fewer changes befitting a primetime schedule of greater stability than the Peacock's. "Community" and "Prime Suspect" are being removed to make room for the return of "30 Rock" at 8 p.m. and the introduction of "The Firm" at 10 p.m. "Whitney" is trading nights with another NBC rookie comedy, "Up All Night," which comes in at 9:30 p.m. "Whitney" will slide into the anchor position on Wednesday as a lead-in for another new series, "Are You There, Chelsea?" CBS is giving its Rob Schneider laffer "Rob" the plum post-"Big Bang Theory" slot on Thursdays starting in January. "Rob" stars Schneider as a man who marries into a tight-knit Mexican-American family. It will bow in the Thursday 8:30 p.m. berth on Jan. 12, displacing "Rules of Engagement," which was hauled up earlier this seaon to fill the void left by the quick demise of frosh comedy "How to Be a Gentleman." The Eye has also set Jan. 15 as the third-season preem of "Undercover Boss," which will move into the Sunday 8 p.m. slot now occupied by "The Amazing Race." The Eye said "Rules" and "Race" will be back on the sked later in the season. NBC's "Community," which is expected to return to the schedule at some point later in the season, has struggled in the ratings. The third-year series is averaging a 1.9 rating/6 share in the 18-49 demographic and totaling just 4.1 million total viewers. A Thursday-night overhaul seemed inevitable given "Rock" was likely to reclaim its original night, which it sat out the first half of the season in order to give star Tina Fey time off to have her second child. But now the Emmy-winning comedy will find itself with the tougher task of leading off the night, which will keep "Parks & Recreation" and "The Office" at 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Moving "Night," which has performed respectably on Wednesdays, is a vote of confidence given Thursday provides a more protected time slot that should help its prospects for earning a second season. More uncertain is the fate of "Suspect," which the network has not canceled despite a rough ratings ride on Thursday that hasn't gotten any better despite additional airings on other nights to help market the Maria Bello-fronted detective drama. "Suspect" is averaging a 1.6/4 and 5.8 million on Thursdays. Joining "Whitney" and "Chelsea" on Wednesday will be "Rock Center," the new Brian Williams-led newsmagazine that has struggled at 10 p.m. on Mondays in its first two outings. "Whitney" and "Chelsea" bow Jan. 11 while "Center" moves Feb. 8. "Center" will be replaced by the highly anticipated drama "Smash," which will get unscripted powerhouse "The Voice" as a lead-in when it premieres 8 p.m. the day after the Super Bowl on Feb. 6. These shows may represent NBC's best hopes for a midseason rejuvenation on a night that was not kind to the network in the fall given the quick cancellation of "The Playboy Club" at 10 p.m. "Firm," which reboots the 1993 film with Josh Lucas in the starring role originated by Tom Cruise, is another key piece of NBC midseason. It will get a two-hour premiere on Jan. 8, where it should get a nice promotional platform the previous night from NBC's final NFL telecast of the season, before settling into its regular slot on Jan. 12. "Firm" is from eOne in association with Sony Pictures Networks and Paramount Pictures. Another series on the move is "Harry's Law," which switches from Wednesdays at 9 p.m. to Sundays at 8 p.m. on Mar. 4, when it will serve as a lead-in for a two-hour "Celebrity Apprentice," which bows Feb. 12. Another new entry will be unscripted series "Fashion Star," which moves into the Tuesday 10 p.m. slot on March 13th, a few weeks after drama "Parenthood" will have ended its season. The premiere will run two hours and begin at 9 p.m. On Friday, returning unscripted series "Who Do You Think You Are?" will spell "Chuck" one week after its series finale on January 27th. AWOL from the schedule are "Awake" and "Bent," two NBC series that were supposed to be introduced in the midseason but have yet to be scheduled. CBS also had a series expected to join the midseason schedule but has yet to find a time slot, drama "The 2-2." All told, NBC is making a lot of moves in order to jumpstart a schedule that has only dipped deeper into fourth place since the 2011-12 season began. Midseason will bring four new season and four time-slot shifts, not to mention new 8 p.m. shows on every night with original programming save Tuesday. NBC's "Chelsea" and CBS's "Rob" will get a few shots at finding an audience before facing some daunting competition: Fox's "American Idol" will be back in their time slots after its Jan. 22 premiere. NBC has also picked up drama pilot "Beautiful People" from Universal Television and ABC Studios. Michael McDonald will exec produce the project, an ensemble "what if" hour set in the not-so-distant future in which families of mechanical humans exist to serve the flesh-and-blood people of the world, until the androids start to have goals of their own. The show's emphasis is said to be on drama rather than technology. Cynthia Littleton and Jon Weisman contributed to this story. Contact Andrew Wallenstein at andrew.wallenstein@variety.com
