She's been making headlines recently for an alleged breast enhancement surgery.

But Naya Rivera, 27, looked all natural as she reclined in her bikini for the cameras at the mtvU Spring Break event for Bongo jeans held in Cancun, Mexico at the weekend.

The stunning blonde showed off her toned limbs and proportionate assets in a black two piece before slipping into a pair of Daisy Dukes.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore is completely fed up with Porsha Williams' violent BS -- at least that's how she sounded on the 911 call she placed ... moments after Porsha allegedly attacked her.

You can practically feel Kenya rolling her eyes as she grudgingly answers the emergency dispatcher's questions on the phone, deadpanning, "I've just been assaulted." She also goes into more detail about the attack on the call.

As we reported, Porsha and Kenya exploded on each other last Thursday during the taping of the "RHOA" reunion special.

The tone of Kenya's voice tells the entire story.

Lindsay Lohan Was Almost In The Avengers, According to Lindsay Lohan

But who would she have played?



Lindsay Lohan, whose most recent onscreen opuses ranged from The Canyons to Lifetime’s made-for-TV Elizabeth Taylor biopic, says that she could have had a different film fate. In the latest episode of her Oprah-produced reality television show, the wayward star talked about how she was almost cast in Marvel’s The Avengers.

Lohan said that since her manager didn’t “push” hard enough, her super secret role was given to an “unknown.”

This, of course, begs the question of who Lohan would have played in the likely blockbuster: there’s Pepper Potts, played by the recently “uncoupled” Gwyneth Paltrow. (Not an unknown.) There’s the Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson. (Definitely not unknown). And then there’s Agent Maria Hill, played by How I Met Your Mother’s Colbie Smulders. (Is this who Lilo is shading?)

The only other option was an unnamed NASA scientist played by Tina Benko. Not quite a leading role.

Lohan continued chronicling her casting concerns.

“If I don’t work in a film, he passes it to Vanessa Hudgens; [my manager] passes it one of his other clients,” Lohan said. “Every day I’m not on a film set, I’m wasting my talent because that’s what I was born, and live, to do.”

Maybe one day Lohan will fulfill the role she was born to play and finally be turned into an action figure.

Justin Bieber and Obama kiss on SNL + Obama takes a selfie with Harry Styles + Selfie discussion

Are all of those selfies making us narcissists?

I was recently chatting with an acquaintance who teaches high school English. I asked her what her biggest pet peeve was when it comes to her students and technology and she was quick to answer.
“Selfies,” she said. “I don’t mind if they use the phone to check the time or send a quick text to their friend, but it drives me crazy when they take pictures of themselves during class.”
And they do it all the time.
Her students will spend class time on Snapchat, sharing pictures of themselves with doodles and captions scrawled over them complaining about how bored they are.
What happened to the good old days when you just passed elaborately folded notes in class?
Some days it seems the age of self-absorption is following on the heels of the digital age.
Hop on Facebook, Twitter and especially Instagram and your feeds will inevitably feature photos of users (mostly girls and women) have taken of themselves. They’re making faces from silly to sultry to sad and showing off everything from a new outfit to their exposed posteriors (seriously, just look up #butts if you dare).
The third most popular hashtag on Instagram is #me and #selfie has generated more than 35 million posts on the photo-sharing site. The Oxford English Dictionary named “selfie” the word of the year for 2013.
Teens in Asia are so obsessed with self-portraits some are using a so-called “selfie stick” – an extendable metal wand that clips to a smartphone and allows them to snap pictures of themselves and their friends at a distance using the phone’s self-timer.
Everyone from Pope Francis to Colin Powell have posted pictures of themselves (the former secretary of state posted a self-portrait he had taken of himself 60 years ago).
And Ellen DeGeneres broke the Twitter record for most retweets (currently at 3.4 million) for the star-studded pic she took with the likes of Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Kevin Spacey at the Oscars.
For the most part the selfie phenomena seems to be harmless fun. Yet there are plenty of times when it just seems … well … wrong. The classroom selfies, for instance, seem incredibly disrespectful to teachers. There are a disturbing number of photos of women in underwear or bathing suits taking sexy pictures while small children play in the background.
And then there are the people who snap goofy pictures of themselves at the most inappropriate of places – the Anne Frank House, the 9/11 Memorial or even funerals.
You read that right.
There’s a whole Tumblr page devoted to pictures people have snapped of themselves while saying goodbye to loved ones.
“Love my hair today. Hate why I’m dressed up. #funeral” reads the caption under one.
And if you think the pictures are appropriately somber, think again. Sure, there are some pics of people with exaggerated frowns, but for the most part it’s standard selfie fare –fashion shots showing off funeral attire and goofy faces.
Even President Obama has participated snapping a shot of himself alongside the British and Danish prime ministers during Nelson Mandela’s funeral last December.
The #me explosion got me thinking – is all this selfie absorption making our children and us more narcissistic?
In an article in Psychology Today, Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology Research Center, says we shouldn’t be all that worried. Western civilization has a long history of self-portraiture. It was once only reserved for the elite, but now modern technology has enabled everyone to try a little self-exploration.
“One of the most effective ways to know yourself is to see yourself as others see you,” she writes. “Selfies offer the opportunities to show facets of yourself, such as the arty side, the silly side, or the glamorous side.  We learn about people by accumulating information over time.”
She lists several other reasons that selfies shouldn’t be synonymous with narcissism, but one in particular caught my eye (especially since I’m the mother of two girls): Selfies help normalize how people look. When pop culture and mass media deliver a message that all women should look like super models, selfies show us “real people.” And with the popularity of social media, this means we’re all being exposed to more “real people” of all shapes, sizes and colors than ever before – and that’s a good thing.
Beyond that experts suggest that selfies and social media sites are a way we can claim our identity and showcase different facets of yourself to the world.
This also excites me.
Remember all that labeling that occurs in middle school and high school? The jocks, the geeks, the drama kids, the cheerleaders, the stoners, etc. Well, if kids can now claim their online identity via selfies on social media, maybe that will help them address all the pigeonholing head on and force others to see how multifaceted they actually are.
Or maybe I’m just #dreaming.

Nick Cannon Defends 'Whiteface' Alter Ego

0

Nick Cannon is once again defending the white alter ego he created to promote his upcoming album.

The "America's Got Talent" host -- who created a controversy when he posted Instagram photos and videos in which he's sporting whiteface, red hair, a beanie hat and plaid shirt -- told "Good Morning America" that his character isn't the same as blackface.

"They're using this term 'whiteface,' like I don't even know what that is," Cannon said. "I know 'blackface' was a term that was created in 1869 to describe offensive minstrel shows. 'Whiteface,' if you look it up and Google it, it's a ski slope in upstate New York. I was doing a character impression. Blackface is about oppression."

He went on to repeat one of the many social media defenses he made after posting the photos and videos, saying "There's a big difference between humor and hatred."

He also said that one of the reasons he created what he knew would be a controversial character is because of people's sensitivity about race.

"The mission was to have fun, and yes, put it out there that we have issues with race in this country and in this world, but it doesn't have to be with hatred," Cannon added.

The AGT host, whose album White People Party Music drops Tuesday, also talked about wife Mariah Carey's recent birthday celebration and his own health after being diagnosed with lupus in 2012.

Once Upon a Time‘s Michael Raymond-James decided to “break radio silence” with a series of Twitter messages on Monday, the day after his character, Neal Cassidy/Baelfire,
was killed off the ABC series.




The alum of such series as True Blood and Terriers made clear that he neither quit nor was he fired, but instead was the subject of a “bold storytelling choice,” by Once creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis.

Raymond-James also begrudgingly addressed/dismissed a rumor that he had trashed a trailer, as well as shot down a rumor that he recently filmed a pilot in Vancouver. Instead, he said, “When I decide what comes next I will let everyone know here. So stay tuned….”

I'm glad he is setting the record straight but it doesn't make me any less upset about what happened.

Audra McDonald in 'Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill': Watch a sneak peek -- EXCLUSIVE

lady-day-01

Apparently, the redoubtable Audra McDonald needs to break that Tony-winning record. With five wins under her belt (the last was for her shattering take on the drug-snorting, tortured female lead of The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess), she could net a sixth for the Broadway premiere of longtime regional staple Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill, in which she will embody none other than “Strange Fruit” and “God Bless the Child” songstress Billie Holiday.

She currently ties Angela Lansbury and the late Julie Harris for the most competitive wins by an actress — a sixth would become a Tony milestone. (Additionally, if the production is considered a play versus a musical — à la the recent Broadway production of the Judy Garland-flavored End of the Rainbow — McDonald would be the first actor to win all four possible female acting categories at the Tonys.)

Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill began previews at Circle in the Square Theatre on March 25, with an opening night of April 13. For tickets, visit the show’s website.

The Voice 2014: A meeting has reportedly been set up between Kylie Minogue and show bosses to persuade the singer to come back next year.

Producers are said to be keen on signing Kylie up for a second series before the final next weekend.

The Into The Blue singer has agreed to the meeting, which insiders think is an indication that she is interested in returning.

A source told The Daily Star Sunday: ‘This is their big chance to persuade her to come back next year. It’s make or break.

‘They’re so pleased Kylie has agreed to meet with them. It means there’s a chance she’ll go for it.’

The BBC’s actions come after Minogue dropped the bombshell that she will be to focusing on her music next year.

Her Kiss Me Once tour kicks off later this year, which the singer said will clash with filming the audition stages of The Voice.

She told The Mirror last week about the possibility of The Voice 2015, she said: ‘I’m touring this year and the timings wouldn’t work.

‘We started filming in November last year for the show and this year I’m on tour in September, October and November.’

A spokesperson for The Voice said: ‘We are aware of Kylie’s touring commitments and are looking to accommodate them, so that if the series is re commissioned she could return to her coaching role.’

The Voice has been renewed for 2015 and 2016.

Given her hectic schedule as of late, it’s impressive that Shailene Woodley was in such good spirits as she exited BBC Radio One studios in London, England on Monday (March 31).

Wrapped in an orange sweater with black skinny trousers, the “Descendants” darling smiled for the shutterbugs as she hoofed it to her next promotional appearance.

Ms. Woodley has been incessantly plugging her new flick “Divergent,” which earned another $26.5 million over the weekend for a $95 million total since its March 21st release.

Of her costar Ansel Elgort (they also star together in “The Fault in Our Stars”), Shailene told press, "Naturally, we get along so well…so to go from a movie where we were so comfortable with each other to a movie where vulnerable action was necessary, it was nice to have somebody that we could just really rest in each other's arms and not feel like we had to get to know each other."

Sorry, mod(s). :-(

20 years ago! The most censored episode in American television network history!

tumblr_lqd5pkMVtE1qezxsoo1_500

March 31 in 1994, Madonna's appearance on "Late Show With David Letterman" caused headaches for CBS censors. The network deleted 13 offending words from the audio track before the show aired. An obviously annoyed Letterman told the singer "people don't want language like that coming into their living room." Madonna also handed Letterman a pair of her panties and told him to sniff them. He stuffed them in a desk drawer. The two later reconciled and Madonna reappeared on the show.

To cap it off, here's every F-bomb uttered during the appearance:

From the first part:



1:54"Incidentally, you are a sick f--k."

4:46"F--k."

8:52"You are always f--king with me on the show."

8:58"You are always f--king with me on the show."

9:02"You are always f--king with me on the show."

11:09"Don't f--k with me, Dave."

11:22"Somebody f--ked up."

11:58"Is it because I've been saying f--k too much?"

12:32"Wait a minute. People don't want to hear the word f--k?"

From the second part:



1:41"F--k it, now we're going to have to deal with each other."

1:48"Why can't we just talk to each other? Why do we have to have all this contrived bulls--t? You know, f--k the tape. F--k the list, everything. You know what I'm saying?"

5:50"Don't f--k with me, Dave."

7:36"When you come back, I'll still be here. F--k it!"

'Game of Thrones': Nikolaj Coster-Waldau on Jaime's season 4 women trouble

0

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

In Game of Thrones season 4, Jaime Lannister is reunited with his long lost love — who just happens to be the Queen Regent and his twin sister. But don’t expect Jaime and Cersei (Lena Headey) to make a quick return to the sneaky, incestuous ways we last saw in season 1.

“For him, it’s been a very traumatic trip,” says Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who has ditched his scraggly beard and returned to Jaime’s clean-cut look now that his character is back in King’s Landing. “But he’s been wanting to get back to this woman for the duration of his trip. You want to just go back to the way it was. But it’s not that easy. A lot has happened in her life as well.”

Definitely traumatic. Jaime was imprisoned and had his right hand chopped off last season, leaving him far less able to protect himself (or the king, for that matter, as he’s a member of the royal Kingsguard). While he’s perhaps gained more inner strength, expect Jaime’s physical weakening to be a turn off for Cersei, who has always relied on her brother’s alpha male status.

“In her mind, he was the strongest soldier, the strongest man and he could always protect her,” he notes.

Having said that, Coster-Waldau adds that you don’t need to see any new episodes to know there have been hints that this relationship was already uneven. “I think he loves her more. It’s always been unbalanced, and that’s never good,” he says. “Most of us have been in that situation where you’ve been falling in love with somebody who didn’t feel the same way. It’s not a nice situation.
We did this panel and Lena said something interesting. She said at a deep level, she wants to be him. She likes the game of thrones, but her life is about doing what her dad wants her to do.”

And then there’s the other woman in Jaime’s life, Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie), his former captor turned ally. Expect Brienne to try and hold Jaime to his pledge to ensure the safety of Catelyn Stark’s daughters, which is a tad tricky now that one of them is married to Jaime’s brother Tyrion (Peter Dinklage).

“There’s a moment where they come back and he’s like: ‘What happened didn’t really happen. Can’t I just become what I was before?’” he says. “And she’s like, ‘What about that promise?’ A year ago he would have said ‘shut up and go away,’ but now it’s like, ‘I guess I have to deal with this.”


But those holding hopes for actual romance between Brienne and Jaime shouldn’t expect to see any physical connection anytime soon. “I don’t think he’s aware of any romance,” he says. “On a fundamental level he respects and cares for this woman. I don’t think he’s thought of it.”
Coster-Waldau grins. “He’s a monogamous man.”

Bill Werde On "Angela Cheng," Lady Gaga, and the Culpability of Media

0
0


My hope was that I’d never have to address the legitimacy or even the existence of “Angela Cheng.” But I got a call today from a BuzzFeed editor who led me to believe that they were moving ahead with a story about “Cheng” that included me, with or without my participation. I always refrained from engaging with this issue because I didn’t want to bring it more attention. But since it appears that will be happening now anyway, I’ll reluctantly post what I know. My hope is that, to the extent people will talk about this bizarre little tempest in a music industry teapot, this post will provide some facts to color the discussion.

I’m not sure when I first became aware of “Cheng.” It was sometime last year, when I was still working as the Editorial Director of Billboard. I’m reasonably certain “Cheng” first crossed my radar because of a small handful of folks on Twitter, asking me if I’d seen articles she was publishing on the user-generated “news” site, Examiner.com.

At that time, it seemed to me, almost all of the articles under the Cheng byline, as well as those by another “reporter,” “Sabrina O’Connor,” had two things in common: they seemed to me to be laser-focused on disparaging Lady Gaga, and they seemed to me to regularly misrepresent facts and details. Occasionally they would pull in Billboard or even me, personally, with ungrounded and wholly untrue accusations that somehow Billboard or I was receiving favor from Gaga’s camp to better represent her or her chart positions. From my perspective, the notion was so ridiculous and the source so not credible that I ignored it. Eventually, however, as Twitter questions persisted, and as other media outlets started repeating certain details from the Examiner.com stories—more on that in a bit—I reached out to some friends at Examiner.com’s parent company, AEG (the giant tour promoter). I explained that many of these stories appeared to contain libel and/or defamation, and gave them a handful of offending examples. AEG said they’d have someone look into the matter, and very shortly thereafter—and very much to AEG’s and the Examiner’s credit—the stories disappeared from the site. At some time after that, “Cheng” appeared to stop contributing to Examiner.com.

All of this would be fine and well and water under the bridge, except for two nagging problems.

One was that the “work” of “Cheng” and “O’Connor” appeared to me to create a lasting, negative smear on the campaign for Lady Gaga’s current album, Artpop.

On November 17, 2013, “Sabrina O’Connor” posted a story on Examiner.com that claimed Lady Gaga’s Interscope label had spent $25 million to promote her album Artpop which had been released 11 days earlier.

Within days that number had been repeated in seemingly any outlet that could credibly cover such a matter: Business Week. New York magazine. Business Insider. A couple of weeks later, the New York Post published a razor-sharp hatchet job on Gaga, once again, floating the $25 million figure.

(Credit where it’s due: the only outlet I could find that called bullshit, and did it the very next day, was Roger Friedman at Showbiz 411.)

This appears to be echo chamber reporting at its worst. I have to wonder if any of the aforementioned outlets could provide independent reporting or confirmation of this $25 million figure. Most of them appeared to simply use the sensational $25 million as click bait, while disclaiming in the fine print that it was “according to examiner.com”, and linking to the source. It’s an ugly gut check for a content farming industry that was once known as journalism. But the truth is, for many outlets and at some times, it doesn’t seem to matter what’s verifiable. If it’s sexy and you can blame it on a different media outlet if it turns out not to be true, fire up the CMS! New York mag, seemingly warned about the tenuous original sourcing after its story was live, went so far as to append an update to their initial post, noting that “This news was originally reported by a source that is not verifiable, so file this news under ‘quite possibly fictional gossip.’ In fact, disregard it entirely”—but left the $25 million figure in their headline. It seemed to me that the number became an albatross of Gaga’s Artpop campaign. As Artpop sales and singles did not perform up to the standards of Gaga’s previous releases, the $25 million was held up again and again to show just how high the expectations were that had been missed—to, ultimately unfairly, define a failure.

It was this realization that led me to make a few phone calls. After all, maybe I was wrong: maybe “Cheng” and “O’Connor” were just hard-working journalists in modern times, using new, user-generated platforms that were availed to them to create impactful work.

Now, I must say, I have no idea if there really is an Angela Cheng or a Sabrina O’Connor. This is what I know: In Cheng’s bio on Examiner.com, which I can no longer find on site, she listed herself as “a recent Communication Media Studies graduate of the University of Oklahoma,” and “the school newspaper’s pop music writer.”



But a University of Oklahoma representative told me on the phone in January that there had been no “Angela Cheng” to enroll or graduate within any timeframe that could reasonably be construed as “recent.” Similarly, no one at the school paper, the Oklahoma Daily could find any record of an Angela Cheng contributing. “Sabrina O’Connor,” meanwhile, represented herself in her Examiner.com bio as “a recent journalism graduate of Cal State Long Beach” and “a pop music writer for the university and local city newspapers.



Again, a school official told me there was no record to support the notion of enrollment or matriculation of a student by that name. And again, no one at the Daily 49er—Cal State’s student paper—was able to find evidence of a contributor by that name. As well, the photographer who had taken the picture that Cheng was using to identify herself publically shared that the image was being used without his permission.



So who is Angela Cheng? I have no idea, nor do I have the time or the inclination to report it out. There is no shortage of internet rumors regarding high-profile bloggers with an axe to grind against Lady Gaga. But I’d be no better than what I’m decrying if I named names on such flimsy support.

All of this leads back to the second dynamic in this whole scenario that remains eating at me: the ease at which the lie accomplishes the truth. No one I’ve spoken with in or around Gaga’s camp or in the music business as a whole—and I have a decent source or two, trust—believes there was a $25 million dollar marketing budget on Gaga’s Artpop campaign. And yet suddenly, there it is, like wildfire, spreading in too many pop-culture outlets to be ignored. What can Gaga do? Ignore it and let people believe? Deny it and legitimize the claims of a person who may or may not exist? It’s a shit choice.

And to a much lesser extent, it’s the choice I’m now faced with. You see, in the BuzzFeed editor’s first communication to me, he proposed, “I’m working on a story about a few online music critics including one in particular named Angela Cheng…There were some rumors flying around at the time you left Billboard that you were being fired over trying to help Lady Gaga’s chart positions, was there any truth to those rumors?”

So here I am, having to answer a reporter with a powerful platform behind him, because a person that I don’t believe to exist (“Angela Cheng”) posited what I know to be unfounded nonsense about my moving on from Billboard.

The only real lesson I can take away from this is that it’s better to be the platform than the person trusting the platform. This is why I decided to post all of this, after all this time. No, I wasn’t fired from Billboard for any sort of shenanigans—I wasn’t fired at all. To be clear, during the time I worked for Billboard, the amazing team of people I worked with and for built a consumer music brand where one hadn’t existed, grew a social following from zero to the millions, brought the Billboard Music Awards back to TV with ABC, grew traffic to Billboard.com by about 6X and won prestigious awards for our site relaunch and redesigned magazine. In early January, the company that owns Billboard re-structured some of its media holdings and formed a new company out of Billboard and the Hollywood Reporter. Janice Min, who had been having an incredible run of success as the editorial director of the Hollywood Reporter, was promoted to oversee both properties, and I was moved into an entrepreneurial role with the company, working on some new projects. This is not scandalous, but just an old-fashioned thing called the truth. As the above can attest, sometimes it’s stranger than fiction. You just need to be very, very careful about where you choose to read it.

Brooklyn Beckham makes his modeling debut on Magazine cover

Boy Beckham no longer! Victoria and David Beckham's oldest son Brooklyn makes his modeling debut on the cover of Man About Town magazine's Spring/Summer 2014 issue, reaffirming that good genes come naturally to the Beckham brood.
On the cover, Brooklyn, 15, looks proper, yet edgy in a crisp white oxford shirt and striped maroon tie, paired with a black bomber jacket. The teen gives the camera a smoldering stare, while bearing a striking resemblance to his good-looking soccer star dad, 38. His pouty expressions in accompanying pics, however, mimic his elegant fashion designer mum, 39.




In one, Beckham wears a bumblebee-striped tank that reveals his athletic arms. Similar to the cover shot, the teen glowers and gives the camera an intimidatingly cool stare-down. "We could not have wished for a stronger subject than Brooklyn to bring this story to life," Man About Town Editor-in-Chief Ben Reardon gushed to Us Weekly, Monday, March 31. "He was a diligent, relaxed cover star for his first ever fashion shoot."




Reardon added that the young Brit's first modeling gig was part of a "20-page fashion story celebrating teenage style." The photos were taken by Alasdair McLellan, who's worked with both Victoria and David on their respective fashion projects in the past.




Other black-and-white shots reveal Brooklyn biting a pen in a messy bedroom setting with his tussled locks on display. In another, he's photographed leaning against a poster-covered wall -- like most teens, with headphones wrapped around his neck.


"The story was a genuine pleasure for all involved," Reardon said of the cover shoot. "Brooklyn was a true professional and had a keen eye in the styling process, collaborating on selections from designers including Ralph Lauren, Saint Laurent and Supreme." The editor observed, "It is clear that he is becoming a credit to the family name, not only possibly the most famous in the world but one with a wealth of heavyweight fashion influence behind it."
P

Brooklyn, a burgeoning soccer player, has been training with his dad's former club Manchester United since last fall -- although, he wasn't the first Beckham kid to tackle a professional modeling gig. Younger brother Romeo, 11, flaunted his equally-impressive modeling chops for Burberry's Spring 2013 ad campaign last year. (In addition to their two oldest sons, Victoria and David are proud parents to Cruz, 9, and daughter Harper, 2.)
Brooklyn's Man About Town issue hits stands on April 4. Tell Us: what do you think of his modeling debut?

"The Drop" trailer aka The Tom Hardy and a puppy movie

"Tom was intensely inquisitive," screenwriter Dennis Lehane told USA Today about Tom Hardy's turn. "He mined every single piece of marrow out of that character." And those are encouraging words to hear about "The Drop," the forthcoming film that brings together a helluva ensemble for a tale rich with possibility.

Co-starring the late James Gandolfini, Noomi Rapace and Matthias Schoenaerts, and directed by "Bullhead" filmmaker Michael Roskam, this one follows an ex-con trying to go straight, working a legit job in a bar, whose life gets upended by a robbery gone wrong. It's potent stuff, particularly for this Boston Brooklyn-set tale, and Roskam knew he had a great duo in Hardy and Gandolfini. "I could see there was a bit of a smile between them. It was like, 'We're going to nail this, right?' " Roskam said of the production. "And they did this intense scene and were just spot on. There was a beautiful connection between those two guys."

See that chemistry in the first trailer for the film. Fox Searchlight will bring it to theaters on September 19th.
