For a Good Time, Call… photo by Scott McDermott
Lauren Anne Miller, Ari Graynor and director Jamie Travis stopped by the Celebs.com Studio at Sundance to have a chat about their new film “For a Good Time, Call…” co-written by Lauren Miller.
Travis is well known to festival audiences for his series of short films, but on this occasion steps out of his comfort zone to direct someone else’s material. Of course, the material had great bones, and the film has cameos by some big names, including Miller’s husband Seth Rogen.
The film played fantastically well to audiences at the festival, its premise surrounding two roommates who open a phone-sex business. Expect to see it in theaters later this year.

Christina Hendricks didn’t think that she’d become a sex symbol when she started “Mad Men” — at least, that’s what she says in a new interview with Cosmopolitan UK for its March 2012 issue. The curvaceous redhead admits that the attention is “incredibly flattering and surprising,” and that she “didn’t think for a second” that viewers would talk about her sex appeal after watching the show.
Hendricks also chatted about her husband Geoffrey Arend, to whom she was immediately attracted. “He was just charming, funny and very magnetic,” she mused about the day they met. “I got his number that night under the pretense of, ‘We could just be friends.’ And of course I immediately went home and Googled him.”
When asked to define “sexy,” Christina Hendricks explained, “Sexiness is about confidence and individuality. I can’t keep my eyes off the women you see in cities like London, New York and Paris — the way they carry themselves and put themselves together are always so unique. Sexiness is about being an individual and having conviction about what that is.”

Lily Collins, who plays Snow White in the upcoming “Mirror, Mirror,” is on the cover of the March 2012 issue of Seventeen magazine, and in her accompanying interview, the 22-year-old dished out love advice for girls who want their own fairy-tale romance.
“My advice for girls who are waiting for their Prince Charming is to be open for anything,” she said. Be open to new experiences, be open to the idea that it may take longer than you want, but if you’re open to meeting new people and new adventures, then love will come along.”
Fashion bloggers are commenting on Collins’ fuller brows, which are on display in the pictorial below. Perhaps anticipating the criticism, she said, “It used to bother me, having bigger, fuller brows. I even plucked them once so I’d fit in, but I hated them and couldn’t wait for them to grow back. Now I embrace them. I’ve realized the quirky things that make you different are what make you beautiful.”

Earlier this week, we reported that Rainn Wilson is getting his own spin-off show, and now his “The Office” costar Mindy Kaling has gotten a comedy pilot order from Fox.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the show would depict Kaling as “a young Bridget Jones-type doctor trying to navigate both her personal and professional lives.”
Kaling will be the show’s writer and executive producer. Should Fox pick up the series, she’d leave “The Office” to focus on this endeavor full-time. Are you interested in seeing Mindy Kaling in another comedic role outside “The Office”?

According to TheWrap, Kodak has asked for approval to withdraw its sponsorship of the Kodak Theater at the Hollywood & Highland complex in Hollywood, home to the Oscars.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences apparently has the right to veto naming rights to the much-televised location, but it will definitely be interesting to see which company out there is willing to pony up the $4 million figure for the right to play a significant part in the biggest day on the entertainment calendar.
The 85th Academy Awards brought to you live from the Celebs.com Theater in Hollywood??? Hmmm, stranger things have happened!

Lucy Walker by Scott McDermott
2011 and 2012 Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker talks “The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom” at the Celebs.com Studio at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.
In the documentary film community, Walker is one of a dozen of the most high profile filmmakers and the only one to have had two feature films in competition at Sundance in a single year. With music on her films composed almost exclusively by Moby, Walker is always one to watch.

LeAnn Rimes made a little girl’s day when she used her star power to help she and her family head to Disneyland in California to meet Mickey Mouse. The 6-year-old has septo-optic dysplasia, according to Starpulse, and was told in late December that she’ll lose her vision.
After seeing the fundraising page the girl’s parents set up for the trip, Rimes stepped in via Twitter. She wrote, “Throwing this out there to see if we might be able to help this sweet child and her family. American Air, wanna help? I’ve got Disney covered and I’ll go hang with the little girl and her family!”
Following up later, LeAnn Rimes wrote, “And we did it. Can’t wait.” What do you think of Rimes’ thoughtful deed?

Hitting theaters next week, Journey 2 the Mysterious Island stars Dwayne Johnson, Josh Hutcherson, Vanessa Hudgens, Luis Guzman and the epically epic Michael Caine.
A continuation of the “Journey” series that initially starred Brendan Fraser, “Hunger Games” star Hutcherson provides the link to the previous, commercially successful, installment. While the first “Journey” was a pioneer in the 3D cinema roll-out, this new film enters theaters in a much more 3D friendly environment. Shot in 3D with a storyline planned out for maximum effect, the visuals of this film should be GORGEOUS. The fact that the Mysterious Island is one on which our natural laws are reversed (bees the size of helicopters, flowers the size of trees), will also provide an entertaining eyeful.
Check out the official studios with four of the film’s lead actors below. Shooting in Hawaii must have been tough. Acccchhh, poor things.
First listed in 2008 at $29 million, and re-listed in December 2011 for a mere $24.9 million, rumors are rife that “Friends” mini-mogul
