All tag results for 'the butler'

Oprah Winfrey may be showing off her natural hair on the new makeover issue of O Magazine, but on the set of The Butler, she is still clearly ALL ABOUT THE WIGS!

The media mogul and sometimes actress is currently playing Gloria Gaines in the Lee Daniels-directed historical drama, which tells the story of a White House butler who serves eight Presidents over the course of three decades, so naturally, she needs a variety of different hairpieces to show her character's many different looks through the times!

Luckily for us, she posted this AH-mazing picture featuring her with all SEVEN of them (above) via Twitter, with the caption:

We are SO excited for Oprah’s return to the big screen, with the filming of The Butler, a historical flick chock full of A-listers!

We guess in ending her talk show, some doors that had remained closed since 1998 — with her role as Sethe in Beloved — have FINALLY reopened!!

Check out the Mighty O (above) on set in New Orleans!

Werk that wig, Mz. Winfrey!

Oprah will be playing the role of

This flick has more stars than a planetarium!

Mariah Carey's is just the latest in a long list of big names slated to appear in The Butler!

In the upcoming film, Forrest Whitaker will play legendary White House servant Eugene Allen who served under eight different U.S. presidents!

So who will Mariah play???

Jackie O? No. She's going to Minka Kelly.

Not Nancy Reagan, that'll be Jane Fonda.

Mamie Eisenhower?? Pat Nixon? A diva who joins the Secret Service? A piece of furniture in the Oval Office??

We have NO idea!

But we'll clue you in as soon as we find out!

Robin Williams must love playing dead presidents. Or he's just really good at it.

The actor portrayed Teddy Roosevelt in both Night at the Museum flicks, but now he's taking on Dwight Eisenhower's persona too.

Williams has been cast as the 34th president of the United States in Lee Daniels' The Butler, which is based on the true story of a butler who worked in the White House for three decades' worth of administrations.

He's not the only talented actor

Matthew McConaughey is SUPER excited to move forward on pet project called Dallas Buyers Club, a true story set in 1980s Texas.

The soon-to-be hitched actor will play Ron Woodroof, a homophobic redneck electrician told to "go home and die" by doctors after contracting HIV.

Sad face … but soon, Ron rebels against The Man.

He smuggles

Amongst her many duties at her network OWN, it sounds like Oprah will soon be taking on another role as well!

Though previously rumored, Jane Fonda has just officially confirmed that Oprah Winfrey, along with Forest Whitaker, will be starring in her new film The Butler.

SO excited to see Oprah back on the silver screen!!!!

Fonda took to her blog, writing:

Mila Kunis may be lining up a role of a lifetime!

The actress is currently sniffing out a role to play First Lady Jackie Kennedy in the film, The Butler.

The flick will tell the story of a butler who served in the White House 65 years and his experiences with eight different presidencies!

John Cusack, Hugh Jackman and Oprah (yay!) have been linked to star in the flick as well.

We believe that Mila would be a FABulous Jackie Kennedy!

But if she is in talks to play the graceful and fashion-forward wife of John F. Kennedy, who will play JFK?

Thoughts? Who would you like to see alongside Mila?
