Dunst Back To Work!

Good for her!

Kirsten Dunst was spotted yesterday in Brooklyn, filming her new movie Bachelorette alongside James Marsden, Lizzy Caplan and Rebel Wilson.

The movie's about three friends who are asked to be bridesmaids for a girl they knew in high school that they weren't so nice to. In fact, we get the feeling they kind of tortured her. TWIST!

Hmm. Wonder if this going to be more like The Romantics or Something Borrowed? It's also kind of funny to think of Lizzy Caplan on the other side of the Mean Girls coin.

Oooh. Mean Girls. Gonna watch that tonight! LOL! So fetch!

Check out more pics from the set in the gallery (below)

P.S - James Marsden! Mmmmm! Lick!

Director David O. Russell Testing Actresses For Follow-Up To The Fighter

david o russell testing actresses for fighter follow up

Back in March, we first heard about the possibility of a sequel to Oscar-winning film The Fighter, and we didn't think it was a good idea.

As we said back then, we think that The Fighter was a wonderful film, with fantastic performances, and we don't want them to ruin the integrity of the original by sequelizing it.

Fortunately, it looks like they're not making a direct sequel right now, but director David O. Russell has

Brad Pitt's Movie Tree Of Life Wins At Cannes

brad-pitt-tree-of-life-wins-at-cannes.jpg

Congratulations!!

Brad Pitt's movie The Tree of Life has won the ultimate prize, the Palme d'Or for Best Film at the Cannes Film Festival.

The movie is directed by Terrence Malick and follows the lives of two young boys brought up by their strict and demanding father, played by Brad.

This comes as a bit of a surprise since the movie brought on very mixed reviews when it debuted last week.

Meanwhile, Kirsten Dunst took home the Best Actress award for her role in Melancholia, directed by the very controversial Lars von Trier, who claimed he "understood" Hitler.

We bet KiKi is shocked!

Get a complete list of the winners after the jump!

Lars Von Trier Makes Extensive Apology For Nazi Comments

Looks like he genuinely feels awful about what he said.

Earlier today, we learned that Melancholia director Lars von Trier was kicked out of Cannes for comments about being a Nazi and sympathizing with Hitler.

Now, Lars has opened up about his comments, and he seems to be VERY apologetic:

"I'm really sincere when I say I don't really know what hit me. I can understand if you take things out of context. This was very sarcastic and very rude, but that's very Danish. I'm very sorry that it's being taken the wrong way. I must say that I believe strongly that the Holocaust is the worst crime against humanity ever, and I do not sympathize with Hitler one second."

"I didn't want to hurt anyone at all [with this]. Sometimes I hurt people on purpose, when there's provocation that I want to get through that has a meaning. This doesn't have a meaning. I've studied how bad the Jews have been treated in [places such as] Poland and France. This is something that matters very much to me. And this was an idiotic way to behave."

At least he acknowledges that his behavior was idiotic. More from Lars:

"The reason why it's so big, especially here, is that France has had a problematic relationship with Jews, and you [as an interview subject] shouldn't touch such things. But on the other hand, being a cultural radical, you should touch such things."

"It's a major thing at the festival, and very problematic for the festival. And that's a little strange, because even if I was Hitler, what does that have to do with my film being here? It's a festival for films, not for directors."

And more from Lars, clearly feeling bad about the whole situation:

"I don't deserve to win a [Palme d'Or]."

"I'm not sure I'll leave Denmark again."

And here's Lars on his Jewish background:

"Half my life I've made very many Jewish jokes because when you are Jewish, you're allowed to do that. And now I feel kind of in-between."

"I'm very much into the Jewish stuff. Even when I found out I'm not Jewish by my genes, all my children have Jewish names. I'm actually — too Jewish….Oh….Don't write that. I'm just an idiot that should just say home in Denmark and never talk to anybody."

His comments at Cannes were REALLY awful…..but we'll admit that it sounds like he wasn't serious.

What do U think about Lars von Trier's apology? Do U think he sounds sincere?

Buh Bye! Lars Von Trier Kicked Out Of Cannes For Nazi Comments

As we said yesterday…he should have kept his mouth shut!

Check out the video (above) of Melancholia director Lars Von Trier calling himself a Nazi and saying that he sympathizes with Hitler…AND making Kirsten Dunst REALLY uncomfortable.

As a result of his comments, Lars has been expelled from the Cannes film festival.

Here's what the Cannes board of directors said about the incident on their website:

“[The Cannes board of directors] profoundly regrets that this forum has been used by Lars Von Trier to express comments that are unacceptable, intolerable, and contrary to the ideals of humanity and generosity that preside over the very existence of the festival.”

“The board of directors firmly condemns these comments and declares Lars Von Trier persona non grata at the Festival de Cannes, with effect immediately."

Better get going with those apologies, Lars. You've got till January to convince Sundance. Ha!

What do U think of Lars Von Trier's Nazi comments? Did he deserve to get expelled from Cannes?

WTF? Melancholia Director Lars Von Trier Calls Himself A Nazi At Cannes

lars von trier says he is a nazi

Should have kept your mouth shut, Lars!

During a discussion of his film Melancholia at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, director Lars Von Trier shocked everyone when he declared himself a Nazi.

Melancholia star Kirsten Dunst tried to stop him, but for some reason he felt the need to dig himself into a massive hole while at the event.

Here are some highlights from Lars' hole-diggery:

"Yes, I am a Nazi!

"Well that doesn't mean I have anything against Jews, except Susanne Bier (Danish filmmaker, In a Better World).

"Well, Israel is a pain in the ass…"

"Okay, I am a Nazi…"

"Nazis tend to do things on a grander scale…"

"Perhaps we can have a Final Solution for journalists…."

Exactly what were you trying to accomplish with this, Lars? Shock value? Doesn't sound like you were joking to us!

What do U think about Lars Von Trier's comments?
