Fey Ol’ Time

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Jenny McCarthy’s main man, [b]Ewan McGregor[/b] and Rodrigo Santoro sure got down for a dude’s night out in Miami, checking out a Martini Tuesday party at queer lounge Halo. The three amigos are in Ef-Hell-Ay filming I Love You Phillip Morris, about a prisoner who falls in love with his cell mate?this is the state of the romantic comedy, folks, so much for Pretty Woman 2. Jimmy wore jeans and a blue, checkered shirt and was sporting some shorter hair than usual. He arrived with R.S. (in a tee, dark jeans and bright white kicks to boot) and the two celebs set up shop in a corner booth, ordering a bottle of champs that wasn’t popped until E.M. showed up, an hour later. Ewy looked tr?s European in a light black and white sweater, absolutely stunning, cancer scare be damned. All deadly diseases need to stay the ef away from Ewan’s precious face! The party grew to eight, most made up of crew members, and sadly, not us.Source: www.eonline.com

Ewan McGregor talks about his new erotic thriller Deception

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

On the set of Deception, Ewan McGregor discusses a role that requires him to make love with five total strangersJames BoneDriving through the main gate at New York’s Steiner Studios feels rather like entering Guantanamo Bay prison camp. A guard checks your identity and raises the security barrier. Ahead lies a vast car-park that was once a parade ground, dotted with newly built hangars. The similarity with Guantanamo is no coincidence. Though just across the river from Manhattan’s famous skyline, the Steiner Studios lie in the old Brooklyn Navy Yard.Deception, Ewan McGregor’s new erotic thriller, is being shot on a sound stage in one of the glass-and-steel hangars, and the Scottish star has a busy schedule ahead of him. Over the next two days, he is to film a montage of sex scenes that requires him to get it on with five different actresses – none of whom he has met before.The director has left the sex scenes until the last two days of the seven-week shoot. McGregor, looking very American in black jeans, a striped jersey, a baseball cap and baseball boots, seems, if not downright nervous, at least preoccupied with the marathon of sex scenes on which he is about to embark.“They’re interesting. I’ve done a lot of them. I try to find something about them that is realistic,” he explains. “There are Hollywood glistening sex scenes, and I’m not very interested in them. I don’t think they’re very interesting to watch… I think sex isn’t like Hollywood sex. It’s very often many things, but it can very often be awkward. In these scenes, they’re strangers, so they can be embarrassing. And things don’t just go off like they do in a Hollywood movie. I think finding those moments that make it real makes for the audience a much more erotic experience, or a much more powerful experience, because you recognise things you do yourself, or things that have happened to you.” Source: entertainment.timesonline.co.uk
