‘The Bill Engvall Show’ S1 Screencaptures

Sorry for being MIA for a while. I was on vacation in Norway. I had a blast. I’m back to work now

I finally added screencaptures of Jennifer’s show “The Bill Engvall Show”. It’s the first 5 episodes. I will be adding the rest asap. Enjoy!

I added some new outtakes of Josh from his 2009 Self Assignment shoot to the gallery. Enjoy!

The Hot List: Top 20 Actresses Under 30

We’ve run our annual “girl power” list since the beginning, and because we’re still feeling nostalgic after celebrating the 400th LOVEFiLM newsletter the other day it’s interesting to go back and look at that first chart, and wonder whatever happened to the likes of Thora Birch (who came in at #8 on the strength of American Beauty and Ghost World), Hilary Duff (#14), and Lindsay Lohan (#7)… Remember her?

Still, eight years on quite a number of that first list still feature in this year’s chart, including the original number one, Scarlett Johansson, who was red hot in 2004 after Lost in Translation and Girl with a Pearl Earring. Her fortunes have waxed and waned a little bit – she and Keira Knightley (number 5 in the first chart) both dropped out last year when their careers seemed to lose momentum, but they’re back this year and at 27 they should both be around for the tenth edition.

Of course others no longer meet the age requirements. Kirsten Dunst turned 30 last week, and Andrea Riseborough is also out of contention; Michelle Williams, Natalie Portman and Jessica Chastain have all long since graduated to bigger and better things – in fact, remarkably, only one actress nominated for an Oscar this year was under 30 (in case you’re wondering, the ingénue from The Artist, Berenice Bejo, is 35). The exception: Lisbeth Salander, aka Rooney Mara.

Still, it’s always more crowded at the bottom, and there were quite a few young actresses vying for inclusion this time round who for whatever reason didn’t quite make the cut. Usually, their omission reflects the fact that they simply haven’t amassed much of a body of work yet, even if their talent has put them on our radar. Among these names for the future, I’d say look out for Julia Garner – who made an impression in a couple of brief scenes in Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene; Bella Heathcote (Dark Shadows) and True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld. Others are more established talents who have not had a particularly stellar twelve months – Ellen Page, for instance, Chloe Moretz (though we loved her in Hugo), Mila Kunis, Megan Fox, and Olivia Wilde (who suffered the indignities of Cowboys & Aliens and In Time). Twenty-year old Shailene Woodley was spectacular as Alex King, George Clooney’s eldest daughter in The Descendants, but with very little else lined up as yet, she didn’t make the final list either.

In sum, consider this list a spot-check; a snapshot of whose careers are in the ascendant right now, based on the reception of their releases over the past 12 months, and on our best guesses about the projects they have lined up for the next year or so. To arrive at our rankings, we do look at the box office, and also at awards and critical reception – but also, less scientifically, we try to take the measure of career momentum by looking at the caliber of these actresses’ projects and collaborators, the kind of roles they tare playing and the buzz they are generating.

1. JENNIFER LAWRENCE

Age: 21
2011 Ranking: 1

Credits: Hunger Games, Winter’s Bone, X-Men First Class, Like Crazy

Combining down to earth grit, subtlety and resourcefulness, Lawrence already seems more mature and capable than most of her peers. She topped our list last year in part because of her astonishing, Academy Award-nominated performance in Winter’s Bone, and also because she had snagged the hotly contested lead in The Hunger Games, which we correctly noted was poised to become a Twilight sized smash. X-Men First Class doesn’t hurt either. La Lawrence has kept up the pace and then some. Later this year she has three films ready for release, the domestic horror The House at the End of the Street, with Elizabeth Shue, a minor role in the thriller Devil You Know (starring Lena Olin), and two potential prestige pictures, Susanne Bier’s Serena, costarring Bradley Cooper (and likely set for Spring 2013 in the UK) and David O Russell’s The Silver Linings Playbook, again with Cooper, plus Robert De Niro, Julia Stiles, Chris Tucker and another up and coming young actress, Taylor Schilling. According to reports Lionsgate is also in talks for Lawrence to star in an adaptation of best-selling memoir The Glass Castle – and of course there are sequels to X Men First Class and Hunger Games coming soon.

‘The Poker House’ Goodies

Last night I watched “The Poker House”. Jennifer was amazing but everything that happened to her character was just awful and to think that this is a true story is just terrible. I was shocked to find out that this was Lori Petty’s story
