May 28th, 2009 Filed Under Charity, Downloading Nancy, Gallery Updates, Grown Ups, New Event, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee No Comments / Comment?

Lots of new stuff has popped up recently! To start with, we have the first 3 stills of Maria in The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee (pictured alongside Blake Lively who I believe plays the young Pippa Lee) and 3 posters for Downloading Nancy which is getting a limited US release in a couple of weeks (let’s hope Maria attends a premiere for it!). Maria was spotted on the set of Grown Ups in Boston 10 days ago, and I’ve added a photo of that.

And I’ve caught up on all the new appearance photos, all of which were charity-related events.

Film screencaptures and those remaining 2008 appearance photos are coming up next … :)

Grown Ups (Adam Sandler film) filming now?
May 27th, 2009 Filed Under Grown Ups, The Company Men No Comments / Comment?

Salma Hayek was hard to miss this weekend. The “Frida” actress and her husband, Puma CEO Francois-Henri Pinault, were at the Fan Pier Saturday as the around-the-world Volvo Ocean Race resumed. The two then stopped by Kings, where Adam Sandler and his “Grown Ups” costars Chris Rock, David Spade, Maria Bello, and Kevin James kicked off the movie shoot with a family-friendly shindig. While some guests chowed on pulled-pork sliders and pizza, Sandler, James, and Steffiana de la Cruz, wife of “The King of Queens” star, bowled a few frames with their kids. Bello, meanwhile, was playing video games with her son Jackson and boyfriend Dan McDermott. (Hayek and Pinault brought their daughter Valentia Paloma.) Also there was director Dennis Dugan, producers Barry Bernardi and Jack Giarraputo, and actor Jonathan Loughran. The movie is set to start shooting today (May 18th) in Southborough.

Hopefully we will have scans of the magazine soon …



The Good Life
For Norristown native and Hollywood actress Maria Bello, living well means loving deeply, giving back, and visiting Philly as often as she can.

For many people, there’s nothing like returning to old familiar places to reconnect with oneself and take stock of life. For Maria Bello, those sacred spots are Philly and the Jersey Shore. “We go to Sea Isle City,” she says. “We’ve been going there for years, and my family used to own this pizza place [down the Shore] called the Charcoal House. My son, he’s eight years old, and he loves seeing his grammy and poppop, and all his aunts and uncles and Philly cousins.”

Family ties, she says, have always been this strong. Bello, a grad of Archbishop Carroll and Villanova, grew up in Norristown in a tight-knit Polish-Italian clan, the daughter of a construction worker dad and a teacher mom. One of four children, she was on the varsity cheerleading team at Carroll, majored in political science at Villanova, and had dreams of going to law school. By her account, it was a joyful childhood made special by a close community and solid bonds.

Bello and Nelson Join The Company Men
May 6th, 2009 Filed Under The Company Men No Comments / Comment?

We did report this a few weeks ago, and provide you with the first set photos from this movie, but now the big news agencies have got the story as well, plus a few more details ;)

Variety says that Maria Bello and Craig T. Nelson have joined the cast of writer/director John Wells’ The Company Men.

The drama, starring Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones and Ben Affleck, is about the impact that a corporate downsizing has on both its casualties and survivors.

Affleck plays a corporate hotshot whose Porsche and six-figure salary vanish after he gets laid off. Costner plays his brother-in-law, a salt-of-the-earth drywall installer who gives him a construction job.

Jones plays a senior partner in the firm, a principled man who struggles with the greedy actions of his partners.

Bello will play the vice president of human resources, who is forced to fire Affleck’s character. Nelson plays the CEO of the global conglomerate.

The Yellow Handkerchief review from pegasusnews.com
May 6th, 2009 Filed Under Yellow Handkerchief No Comments / Comment?

From pegasusnews.com: It was great getting out to the opening night of the USA Film Festival on Wednesday at the Angelika. I arrived on the leading edge of a thunderstorm that must have carried on storming for much of the 90 minutes I was inside the theater watching the movie, as it was still drizzling when I emerged.

As mentioned, I was excited about seeing Udayan Prasad’s The Yellow Handkerchief for several reasons – among them the chance to catch a fairly obscure performance from one of my favorite actresses, Maria Bello (seen here at the film’s Jan. 2008 Sundance premiere).

I was not disappointed on this count, as Bello’s screen time proved to be far more extensive than expected, due to the heavy incorporation of flashbacks into the film story.

Said story involves a just-released-from-prison convict named Brett (William Hurt) who ends up driving cross country (well, more like cross state, since they never leave the bottomlands of south central Louisiana) with a pair of outsider teens named Martine (Kristen Stewart) and Gordy (Eddie Redmayne).
