Few more yummy morsels for you from the set of The Fighter. Like we told you yesterday, filming is underway on the outskirts of Boston, and Amy Adams, Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg are all putting their game faces on for the much-hyped movie due out next year. Although, some are having more success than others.
Think you know which out of the three is the best-behaved out on the East Coast?
Afternoon Piss: Bitch, I Stole Your Book! What's the Problem?
Sony Pictures
Pop-culture/movie rant: Miscast again (too old) like just like she was in Mama Mia!, Meryl Streep is so perfectly, well, Julia, as the weird and wonderful cooking legend Julia Child, in Julie & Julia, out today. It doesn't matter. She's that good.
So is her far younger hubby Stanley Tucci, hot in his furriness and spectacles. But, it's the Amy Adams arc of the film, which has real-life loser Julie Powell cooking her way through Child's famous book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, that makes the lively soufflé of a story fall flatter than pounded veal.
Adams as Powell is raving on and on in the flick about living with her "imaginary friend," i.e., Julia Child (who she never even met), while she posts cooking attempts of Child's hard-won recipes in her blog, The Julie/Julia Project. Julie, in the movie, doesn't even pay Julia a friggin' one-time royalty for buying a damn copy of the book she poaches: Powell stole her own mother's copy of the book! And then in the end of the flick, it's glossed over and never really elaborated why Child dissed Powell's efforts and never took to her blog—or Powell.
Maybe it's because unlike other more respectful bloggers who have cooked their way through beloved cook books, Powell never bother asking Child if it was all cool to begin with? Regardless, Julie Powell the movie character is so self-involved, hyperventilating, grasping and clueless, it just makes you want to throw her in a pot with a lobster and see who claws out first. My guess? Powell.
But, by all means, see Julie & Julia for Streep alone. She makes you forget all about the red-faced silliness that is Ms. Powell.
Blab, Blab, Blab: Is There a Job in Hollywood Filthier Than Gossip Columnist?
Overture Films
A.A.: "Wardrobe!"
E.B.: "No! The guy who comes out to clean the toilets in the trailers. That's a dirty job."
A.A.: "Ya, he comes by and drains it!"
E.B.: "It smells so bad, you know when that's happening on set; you're like 'Ohhh no.' "
—Amy Adams and Emily Blunt on just what, exactly, happens to be the dirtiest job in Hollywood. The two gals get pretty gross cleaning up crime scenes in their new movie, Sunshine Cleaning, but apparently that's nothing compared to the waste in Hollywood.

Sorry Lily and Lohan, this is a celeb courtship we can get behind. Amy Adams and Emily Blunt were attached at the hip during their premiere of Sunshine Cleaning in Los Angeles this week. The über-sweet and talented gals giggled the whole way down the carpet. "You don't understand, we seriously had so much fun together," laughed Em with her arm around her costar.
Actually, the gals do have a little bit of history. See, A.A. used to date Blunt's current beau John Krasinski...
