Initially a bustling urban backdrop for this new and correspondingly modern medium known as cinema, New York City has been a focal point of American movies since the inception of the form itself. Movies were made to move, and no place moved like NYC. At first, it was the city alone that dazzled filmgoers: the sheer scope and scale of Manhattan’s topography, the size of the city’s towering skyscrapers, the clustered ebb and flow of its lively population. Then stories emerged out of this concrete jungle, stories born from the teeming metropolitan setting: immigrant tragedies, gangster tales, social dramas of class inequality and economic expansion. Before long, Hollywood coopted New York, and suddenly, the bi-coastal portrayal of the Big Apple featured posh penthouses, swanky nightclubs, and a decidedly one-sided representation of the haves and have-nots (Hollywood liked the haves). As an alternative, independent filmmakers took the city’s...

Another day, another sighting of what many believe to be an engagement ring. Mary-Kate Olsen, once again, was spotted wearing the now all-too-familiar sparkler as she joined rumored fiancé Olivier Sarkozy at a launch party for Bob Colacello's book Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up in New York City on Monday. Olsen, 27, has yet to confirm all the speculation that she is engaged to her 44-year-old beau, but continues to add fuel to the fire by repeatedly sporting the same exact ring on that finger. But if they lovebirds are ready to say "I do," it seems that the pair is still on a different timeline with regards to how soon the twosome plan to walk down the aisle. E! News learned...

Here come the future Monsieur et Madame Sarkozy! For the first time since Us Weekly exclusively broke the news of their February engagement, Mary-Kate Olsen and fiancé Olivier Sarkozy attended an event together on Monday, March 10. The newly-engaged duo was spotted at the book launch party for Bob Colacello's Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up at the Diane Von Furstenberg Studio in New York City. Olsen, 27, and Sarkozy, 44, posed together for photos as the former child star showed off her giant vintage engagement ring. [...]...

Mary-Kate Olsen's massive diamond sparkler has been making the rounds across multiple countries since her engagement to Olivier Sarkozy late last month, but we haven't seen the couple together until now. They stayed close at a Diane von Furstenberg-hosted release party for author Bob Colacello's new book on Monday in NYC, both wearing black ensembles; in fact, they wore very similar-looking lace-up dress shoes to the bash as well. During the party, Mary-Kate stopped to chat with the author as he signed a copy of his book, Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up, for her as she showed off her ring. Though Mary-Kate and Olivier haven't spoken out about their wedding plans yet, they may be planning another big step in their relationship - a baby. The couple is reportedly already trying to get pregnant, in spite of Mary-Kate rejecting Olivier's first proposal a year ago...

With the release of Jonathan Levine’s Warm Bodies, I decided to compile a list of my favourite films that take a non-traditional approach to the living-dead canon. More specifically, they all blend romance and zombies, in their own unique and twisted ways.
This is the first of what will be a two part article.

Dance of The Dead may seem like another lowbrow, low budget horror film, but in fact, it offers sharp writing, terrific characterizations, likeable performances, and a real affection for geek culture. Imagine the humour of Night of the Living Dorks but powered by the central plot behind Night of the Creeps. Sure Dance uses every rule from the official zombie handbook, but for a movie that seems equally inspired by a John Hughes coming of age flick, Dance of the Dead...

Film actor's estate earned $210m last year after record-setting jewellery and art auction
From beyond the grave Elizabeth Taylor has overtaken her close friend Michael Jackson to become the top earning dead celebrity. The estate of the actor, who died last year, earned $210m (£130m) in the past 12 months largely due to Christie's record-setting auction of her jewellery and art collection, according to Forbes' annual poll of the richest dead celebrities.
Taylor's auction, which included a Van Gogh that fetched $24.6m, helped her push Jackson into second place. Her fortunes were also boosted by sales of her perfume, White Diamond, which earned $75m in 2011.
With the sale behind her Taylor may struggle to keep her crown next year from Jackson. The King of Pop's fortunes appear to have risen since his death in 2009, not least because he is no longer around to spend it. His estate took in $145m, according to Forbes,...

Good overall plot and production that do not come together in the sharp focus of a conventional horror film. Entertaining nonetheless. Filmmaker Mary Harron prides herself on making films that are outside of the mainstream. If you saw .American Psycho. and, especially, the more obscure .I Shot Andy Warhol. this flick is right up your alley. Unfortunately, this film does not have the simmering Christian Bale. However, it does have a cast of energetic young actors who get the story across with sincerity and grace. The film was shot in Montreal is a suitably old, dark and misty institutional-looking former hotel that itself suggests dark secrets and unmanageable karma. Before the story begins the building itself appears...

Dial-a-Poem poet John Giorno has worked with a number of literary and art mainstays over the years, including Andy Warhol. It seems we have Warhol's continuing influence to thank for R.E.M.'s "We All Go Back to Where We Belong" two music videos. Actress Kirsten Dunst and John Giorno star in two separate videos, during which nothing happens in either. Really. Nothing warms my heart like an old man smiling as Giorno does in his twice. Dunst sits and plays coy. The clips were shot in black and white, with high contrast, "an effect that Stipe describes as lending 'gravity and beauty'...

Forbes magazine predicts Cirque du Soleil tribute show 'Immortal' will put King of Pop in the lead again next year.

For the second year in a row, Michael Jackson has topped Forbes magazine's list of top-earning dead celebrities. The King of Pop, who died unexpectedly at age 50 in June 2009, earned an estimated $170 million over the past year, making him the second-highest-earning pop star this year (behind U2) — dead or alive.
The megabucks came in from sales of his music, as well as his stake in the lucrative Sony/Atv catalog, and while impressive, was a big step down from the $275 million the Jackson estate earned in the year after the singer's death. Songwriters who own their work tend to place high on the Forbes list because their catalog sales often remain strong after their death, one of the reasons Jackson's posthumous career has been so lucrative.

Michael Jackson passed away back in 2009, but the entertainer still topped the list of highest-earning dead celebrities in 2011, taking in $170 million. Jackson topped the list back in 2010 as well, but was able to bring in a whipping $275 million in licensing and sales revenue. Also retaining his spot from the previous list is Elvis Presley. The singer landed in second place with $55 million, mostly thanks to the recent Cirque Du Soleil show Viva Elvis. New additions to the list include Elizabeth Taylor, who died back in March at the age of 79. She was able to tie John Lennon for 5th place with $12 million. Taylor's successful fragrance, White Diamonds, count for the bulk of her profits. And while Marilyn Monroe has been gone for 51 years, it is only now that she ended up making the list, taking third place with $27 million, mostly thanks to the new "My Week With Marilyn" movie.

Several New York personalities, including talk show host Robin Byrd, Academy Award-nominated actress Sylvia Miles and Andy Warhol’s nephew James, have been invited to participate in a celebrity seance being held at Serendipity 3, the Huffington Post is reporting. They were invited by the famous ice cream parlor to possibly contact such deceased celebrities as Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Warhol, who used to trade paintings for desserts, with the help of well-known psychic medium Char Margolis. Though Margolis isn’t promising that she can contact any particular celebrity. “It depends on who has something to say,” she added. But Byrd is hoping to contact Monroe, as she wants to ask...

Richard Phillips's intimate filmed portrait of Lindsay Lohan shows how the medium is artistically superior to the photograph
The moving image is much more artistically interesting than the still photograph, to me anyway. The photographic image is not as rich as a painting or a drawing – until it starts to move. The films of Alfred Hitchcock and Luchino Visconti offer poetic images that go far beyond photographs.
But another example of the way moving images are more complex than still photographs is the genre of the filmed portrait. Richard Phillips's 98-second film Lindsay Lohan, which is about to be shown at the Venice Biennale, is an interesting example of this modern kind of portrait.
In the 60s, Andy Warhol filmed the poet John Giorno asleep, and asked visitors to his studio to sit for screen tests, in which they looked directly at a camera. Warhol's filmed portraits have a lyrical,...

The Cannes Film Festival has always been a place, or a state of mind, that revels in contradiction. It is, of course, one of the glitziest and most fashionable art spectacles in the world — a mod parade of the sports-car-and-champagne elite, so redolent of old money and upper-crust bourgeois-bohemian Euro-chic class. At the same time, the movies that are celebrated and end up winning prizes here have, as often as not, been resounding critiques of that very culture — dire warnings, in fact, about how the stratifications bred by money tear away at our humanity. To me, the quintessential image of...

In Victor Bockris' biography on Andy Warhol, Warhol describes his dream of attending one of his famed parties and mingling with all of his paintings' subjects who have magically come to life around him. Last night, painter Kimberly Brooks got to live out Warhol's dream. Brooks' current solo show "The Stylist Project" opened Saturday at Culver City gallery Taylor de Cordoba and last night, Vanity Fair, Dior, and Taylor de Cordoba came together to throw a one-night-only soiree benefiting P.S. Arts. The event was held at Leadapron and featured Brooks' current show plus an unveiling of Ginnifer Goodwin's portrait in Dior. Kimberly's endeavor is lofty -- she has gathered stylists and fashion icons who function somewhat like the Wizard of Oz, working behind the scenes to shape current trends and styles. One by one, she has asked...

Since being plucked from obscurity in the early 1970s by Factory filmmaker Paul Morrissey to star in a pair of avant garde monster flicks, German actor Udo Kier has evolved into a full-fledged cult icon. Oscillating comfortably between the art house and grindhouse, Kier's hypnotic and menacing ice-blue gaze has peered out from the dark corners of a vast number of low-budget horror films, countless indies -- including several by longtime friend and collaborator Lars von Trier -- and even the occasional Hollywood blockbuster. His current output is no exception: In the so-bad-it's-amazing Christmas Eve slasher Fall Down Dead, Kier plays The Picasso Killer, for whom murder is delicious kunst. (It just had a blink-and-you-missed-it theatrical run, but several high-visibility L.A. billboards suggests a The Room - style afterlife might await it.) He follows that with a turn as a non-murderous acting teacher in Werner Herzog's true-crime drama,...

Berlin, whose father, Richard Berlin, was chairman of the Hearst media empire for 52 years, is an artist, and what she's been making lately are needlepoint pillows of Post front pages. For instance: "Bad Heir Day" showing Phillip Marshall, the disgraced son of Brooke Astor; "I Snorted My Dad" with Keith Richards; and "Good Knot," the hanging of Saddam Hussein.
