• Amy Adams Interviewed on Red Carpet by Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie After 'Today' Canceled Appearance

    A few weeks ago, Amy Adams made news because her scheduled interview with "The Today Show" was abruptly canceled on the spot as the actress waited in the green room. She was scheduled to promote her latest film, "Big Eyes," on the morning show, and when she did not want to discuss the Sony hacking scandal, then producers informed her that her interview was not going to happen after all. Imagine how awkward it must have been on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards when Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer had to interview Adams! Whatever bad blood may have existed was not present when the three chatted. In fact, it all felt friendly, leading us to think that amends must have been made behind the scenes after the scandal grabbed headlines. Harvey Weinstein, the producer of "Big Eyes," was pushing hard for the network to apologize to Adams, and it looks like it must have happened. NBC had wanted the actress to comment on the leaked Sony emails, the one in particular that divulged that she and Jennifer Lawrence had earned significantly less than their male co-stars in "American Hustle." Adams did not want to be part of that dialogue and also mentioned that Bradley Cooper had just done an interview with "Today" and was not asked about Sony, so she felt that it should be fine for her not to be grilled as well. Adams later admitted that she really did not understand what had happened or why on earth her interview had been canceled.

  • Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter Have Been Living Apart for Over a Year

    While there seemed to be quite a bit of shock last week when Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton publicly confirmed that they have split after 13 years together, those close to the two likely expected it. Burton, who has been promoting his movie "Big Eyes," first raised eyebrows in September 2013 when he was caught kissing a mystery blonde. While there was never confirmation that he had been caught cheating, it was a turning point in his relationship with Bonham Carter. The two reportedly split for good earlier this year. While some media outlets have claimed that Bonham Carter is a mess over the breakup, sources for Page Six seem to indicate the opposite, saying: "Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter announced the end of their 13-year relationship last week, but sources tell Page Six that they've actually been living separate lives for more than a year and that both have had other lovers." A source tells us: "Tim and Helena have been living separate lives for [more than] a year, and since they separated, they have both had other lovers. The separation announcement was made saying they'd split earlier this year, but they have been living apart for much longer."

  • Amy Adams Still Doesn't Understand Why 'Today' Canceled Interview

    It may be several days since "Today" abruptly decided to cancel Amy Adams's interview, but the dust has yet to settle. The actress was scheduled to sit for an interview promoting her new Harvey Weinstein film "Big Eyes," but when she told staffers that she would rather not comment on the Sony hacking, her segment was canceled, leaving Adams baffled. Weinstein has demanded the network issue a formal apology to one of his favorite actresses, and his company has reportedly been locked in negotiations with NBC executives for days. As for Adams, she still does not understand what actually happened. At the Los Angeles premiere of her film, she told reporters she was actually prepared to do the interview when "Today" pulled the plug on it instead. "I expressed that I was uncomfortable. I said I would rather not add my voice to this conversation. But it was clear they were drawing a hard line. That this would be part of the conversation. I walked away from the conversation and went up to the room to do the interview. I assumed they were going to ask me about [the Sony hacking]. And I was prepared for that, to whatever degree I was prepared. I was informed that they had decided to pull the interview. I was confused and definitely frustrated. I still don't understand," explained Adams.

  • Harvey Weinstein Pushing for 'Today' to Apologize to Amy Adams for Canceling Interview

    If NBC thought it could abruptly cancel Amy Adam's interview scheduled for "The Today Show" Monday, Dec. 22, and not have issues, it was not thinking clearly. Adams was scheduled to do an interview promoting her latest film, "Big Eyes," but when the actress told staffers she did not feel comfortable discussing the fallout from the Sony hacking scandal, she was told her segment had been shelved. Harvey Weinstein's company has produced "Big Eyes" and Adams is always in good standing with him, so he is out for a bit of blood. According to a source for Page Six, NBC's feeble attempts to smooth things over are not sitting well with Weinstein, who wants a formal apology to Adams at the least. "Even though 'Today' host Matt Lauer tried to smooth things over after the drama with a call to Weinstein," the source added, "Weinstein wants a formal apology or at least an independent investigation into what happened by an independent authority like Rudy Giuliani."

  • Lana Del Rey Wrote 2 Songs for Tim Burton's 'Big Eyes'

    2014 has been a huge year for Lana Del Rey, appearing on the cover of "Rolling Stone" and scoring her first No. 1 album, and next month she will be capping off her stellar year with the premiere of Tim Burton's latest film "Big Eyes," which features two new songs from the "Ultraviolence" singer. "Tim showed her the film and she fell in love with it," screenwriter and producer Larry Karaszewski told "The Hollywood Reporter." "Women in particular seem to get the movie, and Lana really got the movie." Big Eyes tells the true story of American painter Margaret Keane (Amy Adams) whose work was credited to her husband Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz) during the 1950s and '60s. Del Rey contributed two songs to the film: "Big Eyes" and "I Can Fly," both of which are written from the perspective of Margaret Keane.
