It’s been one of the most anticipated films this month, and it sounds like “Going the Distance” is going straight to the top of the box office.
The film involves Erin (Drew Barrymore) and Garrett (Justin Long) who meet during Erin’s internship in New York City, but once the internship ends and Erin heads back to California the couple is forced to deal with the struggles of a long-distance relationship.
The reviews have been on the positive side for the most part, as Michael O’Sullivan from The Washington Post wrote, "Drew Barrymore and Justin Long make one cute couple. Whether or not the actors' on-again-off-again real-life romance helped their performances as lovers frustrated by geography — he's in Manhattan, she's in San Francisco — it's clear they have chemistry. E.T.'s girlfriend and the Mac Guy ooze a laid-back, goofy charm through their pore-less skin. They're a modern-day Hepburn and Grant."
Another critic told, “'Going the Distance' is by no means perfect, but it's light years beyond the average rom-com, bracingly honest and genuinely funny about the ups and downs of relationships. Barrymore and Long, once a real-life couple and now who-knows-what, have a real chemistry that complements their well-written, realistic characters, and even when the movie falls apart around them in the third act, we root for these two crazy kids and their shot at romance. They elevate the story beyond its more flawed moments, but really, 'Going the Distance' is pretty special all on its own."
She’s very dedicated to her workout routine, and Hilary Duff was spotted heading to a Pilates class in Los Angeles, California on Friday (September 3).
The “Beauty of the Briefcase” babe arrived just in time for class and about an hour later emerged from the studio, flashing a slight smile for the on-hand paparazzi.
In other news, Hil’s new hubby, Mike Comrie, has recently signed a $500,000 contract with the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins.
Although he and Duff currently live in L.A., Comrie said he said "wanted to go to a great team and be a part of an organization like Pittsburgh and be able to compete for a Stanley Cup."
She’s never been one to stay quiet about anything and Khloe Kardashian recently addressed her “haters” online.
"I am a little confused as to why people who 'hate' me so much follow my every move and know every last thing about me (whether it's fact or fiction). It's funny to me how these so called 'haters' can sit behind a computer screen and all of a sudden have courage," said the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star.
"I most likely have seen many of you in person before and you have never said these things to my face," she continued. "This is because you are a coward. You don't have the guts. You are the ones that when we come face to face can only stutter compliments."
Turning the negative into a positive, Khloe also posted, "Thank you for the ratings you give me on BOTH of my TV shows because based on the comments you leave on my page, it's clear that you watch," she wrote. "So thank you to my haters! You truly are making me better. God bless. I hope you are proud of yourself. I am proud of you!"
No longer denying the fact that they're a couple, Jesse James and Kat Von D were spotted making their way around West Hollywood, California on Friday (September 3).
The Orange County Choppers CEO and his tattoo artist gal stopped to get some gas before holding hands as they headed off to grab up some lunch.
Earlier in the week, Jesse and Kat hit up the Two Worlds of Art Collide event in Hollywood, looking to be relieved that they have now decided to take their relationship public.
Speaking of their romance, the “LA Ink” babe explained, "Jesse is only my ninth boyfriend. I don't hang out with anybody unless I am in love."
Getting in a little morning exercise, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth were spotted out for a jog in Santa Monica, CA on Friday (September 3).
With both parties looking sporty, the pair - who have been dating since January - built up a sweat before shedding a few layers as the summer sunshine grew stronger.
The sighting comes amidst building rumors that a wedding is on the way for Reese and her Hollywood agent beau.
According to InTouch, Mr Toth was recently spotted shopping for diamond rings, as their source tells, "Reese wasn't with him, because he wants it to be a surprise. But he knows her style. The ring will be classic and beautiful, just like Reese herself."
They were arrested on drug charges in Hollywood earlier this week, and T.I. and Tameka Cottle’s mug shots have been released.
After being pulled over and getting busted with marijuana and unknown pills – that are currently being tested - the “You Can Do Whatever You Like” singer and his wife were booked into the West Hollywood sheriff’s station and later released on $10,000 bond each.
At this time, the couple has not been charged with any crime pending the results of tests on the pills.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, Jr., is no stranger to legal troubles - as he was released from prison late last year after serving time on an illegal firearms possession conviction.
Looking excited to be hitting the books, Ryder Robinson went into sprint mode as his famous mommy Kate Hudson smilingly watched on in Santa Monica on Friday (September 3).
The pair made their way to a local schoolhouse as Ryder loaded up on all of the exciting learning material he'll be needing for the quickly approaching academic year.
The school outing comes just a day after Miss Hudson and her boy returned from London - where Kate got in some quality time with boyfriend Matthew Bellamy.
Of her latest romance, Kate recently told press she's in no rush to marry, sayng, "I'll just see what happens. I think a lot of times people are terrified of love and stop themselves from experiencing it. I don't ever want to get that jaded."
It has plenty of star power and hype to be a hit film, and now “Machete” also has the reviews to back it all up.
The Robert Rodriguez flick has a killer combination of action, wit, and humor that has critics lauding with praise, despite a modest projected opening weekend take.
One review states, "Danny Trejo plays the long-haired, craggy-faced titular Machete with a combination of swift ferocity and baleful kindliness. And the ladies love it. ... Trejo invests his character with an engaging blend of swagger, gravity and terse humor. When Alba's INS agent instructs him to contact her, he snarls, 'Machete don't text.' It's an instant catchphrase."
And another critic wrote, "[R]est assured that the political satire and commentary merely provide backdrop for flying bullets, swinging blades, spurting arteries, naked babes and tough-guy one-liners ("Machete don't text" is tattoo-worthy). The film takes absolutely wild-eyed delight in viscera, gore and grotesquerie (to wit, one poor fellow's intestine is used as an escape rope, while another man is quite explicitly crucified). ... You can't always count on Rodriguez to get the balance of lunacy, competence and coherence right. But here he more or less gives you exactly what you were looking for: 100 or so minutes as bloody, excessive and ridiculous as those initial 150 or so seconds."
Dressed up and ready to go, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick were all spotted hard at work on set of “Gossip Girl” on Friday (September 3).

In related news, Ms Lively recently revealed how excited she was to shoot scenes in Paris, France earlier this summer. She told Entertainment Tonight, "Oh my gosh, I was thrilled when I found out we'd be filming in Paris. It's just such a beautiful, magical city and New York has that old European vibe already, it has that history, but it's still the States.”
Meanwhile, Ms Meester talked about what her character Blair was up to in the City of Lights. She told, "Blair spends her time in Paris shopping, meeting French men, walking around in beautiful outfits and causing drama - what else?"
Having a marvelous time at the 67th Venice Film Festival, Elle Fanning was spotted at the premiere of her new movie “Somewhere.”
