Chris Pratt Anna Faris husband

When Chris Pratt was 19, he moved to Hawaii with a group of hometown friends where he was "discovered" by actress Rae Dawn Chong.













He was her waiter at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company in Maui and made her bust up laughing with his forward sense of humor. It just so happened she was looking for the lead character in her horror/comedy Cursed Part 3 (2000).

She gave him an audition. Four days later, Chris began production in LA as a leading role in Chong's directorial debut. After wrapping Cursed in 2001, and cashing the 750 bucks it gave him, he thought, "What the hell?" and bought a used car and started couch surfing and going to auditions.

He began booking work almost immediately, and, after a guest spot on USA's "The Huntress" (2000), which lent him his SAG card, and a pay-day TV movie which shot in New Zealand, Chris ended up landing a leading role on The WB's critically acclaimed "Everwood" (2002).

Chris is still extremely close with his family and friends. His hobbies include, hanging with loved ones, writing, shooting short films, painting, fishing, hunting, making music and rebuilding his '63 VW Beetle. His hope was to buy his mom a house one day. And he did!

Anna faris Pictures

Seemingly coming out of nowhere, actress Anna Faris made a name for herself in broad comedies, starting with the horror spoof-within-a-spoof "Scary Movie" (2000) - itself a send-up of other horror parodies like "Scream" (1996) and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997).
















By the time she starred opposite Seth Rogen in the raunchy "Observe and Report" (2009), Faris had established herself as the go-to actress for Hollywood comedies.

After graduating from the University of Washington, where she earned her bachelor's in English literature, Faris made her feature debut in "Lover's Lane" (1999). Shortly after her first feature, she had her breakout role as the hapless Cindy Campbell in the Wayans Brothers' horror spoof feature, "Scary Movie" (2000).

Following "Scary Movie 3" (2003), in which her character deviated from parodying Neve Campbell to focus on Courteney Cox, Faris surprised many with her brief, but hilarious supporting turn as a vacuous actress who visits her lonely friend (Scarlett Johansson) in Japan in "Lost In Translation" (2003).

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

 
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is based on Jonathan Safran Foer’s best-selling novel of the same name. It was scripted by Oscar-winner Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and features Oscar-winners like Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock as members of its cast.


Here is the official synopsis for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close:

Now check out the Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close trailer (via iTunes Movie Trailers) below:
Thomas Horn is only 13 years old, but he's already won Teen Jeopardy! – and he gets to share his very first big screen with Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks, playing their son when Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close arrives in theaters on Christmas Day.

When Horn won $31,000 during an episode that aired in July 2010, he was noticed by Extremely Loud producer Scott Rudin. According to Extremely Loud's director Stephen Daldry, when Horn first met Bullock, his reaction was, "Wow, I can't believe I'm acting with the biggest movie star in the world." 5.

Android Ice Cream Sandwich

Android 4.0, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich, isn't expected to launch until later this year. We may just have a date to get a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich, otherwise known as the next version of Google's Android mobile operating system. The search giant previewed Ice Cream Sandwich at the Google I/O conference in May to the delight of Android developers.

Earlier this month, Google chairman Eric Schmidt let it slip at Salesforce.com's Dreamforce conference that Android 4.0, the next major overhaul to Google's mobile OS, will be released in "October or November."

Of course, Google hasn't named an official release date for Ice Cream Sandwich (neither has Apple officially said that its Oct. 4 event is about the iPhone 5, wink, wink, nudge, nudge). Android Ice Cream Sandwich, Google's fourth, unreleased version of its mobile operating system, made a brief video appearance in the blogosphere on Thursday.

Notion Ink tablet CEO Rohan Shravan, who slipped on his blog that Ice Cream Sandwich updates would "arrive in November after Google's launch in late October," said the video provided to Engadget "indeed looks real."


Google previewed Ice Cream Sandwich at the Google I/O conference in May, saying vaguely that it would launch this fall. Then earlier this month, Google chairman Eric Schmidt let it slip at Salesforce.com's Dreamforce conference that Android 4.0, the next major overhaul to Google's mobile OS, will be released in "October or November."

Yesterday, meanwhile, Google sent invitations to see "what's new from Android" at Samsung's Mobile Unpacked show next month. Could this be the official release of Ice Cream Sandwich?

Anna Faris

Without question, Anna Faris is the most successful actress to get her start in a self-referential comedic spoof of a self-referential horror franchise. SEAN: Define “star.”

No, it was the soothing baritone of Mr. Movie Announcer describing Faris as the star of Scary Movie. Really? Is that how long Hollywood has been trying to make Faris a star? Faris is capable of having a long career as a versatile member in endless comedy ensembles.

I’m just saying Hollywood doesn’t need to keep building watered-down comedies around Faris, because the public’s not buying in. Like Mean Girl Regina ordered Gretchen about the word “fetch,” stop trying to make Anna Faris happen.

Right, Mack?


Like most other comedians, Anna Faris started out her career overselling silly and stupid material. Why? We tend to prefer Lloyd Christmas stupid to House Bunny stupid. Anna Faris is funny, she’s just not funny when she tries to be Jim Carrey.

SEAN: If watching her “struggle” means sitting through Yogi Bear, then I have to disagree with you, Mack. Faris is the next Jane Lynch. The House Bunny received a serious push. Countless articles were written by intelligent film journalists asking, “Why isn’t Anna Faris a big star?” That way, we’d avoid the uncomfortable rom-coms (like this weekend’s What’s Your Number?) or the painful Yogi Bear flops, and Faris could find her niche in smartly written, funny comedies.

Hell, I’m sure Waffle House waitresses benefit from being around Christopher Guest, but all Anna Faris needs to benefit from is a decent script. You think The House Bunny would have won Oscars if a prime Lauren Bacall had played the lead? Anna Faris reveals that filming The Dictator was “super crazy”.

The actress is famous for her roles in comedies such as Scary Movie, House Bunny and new film What’s Your Number?

The actress had to improvise all her scenes and work alongside Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen.

Despite the controversial subject matter, Anna insists the movie is hilarious.

Only Anna Faris, the adorable and sexy star of the upcoming comedy What's Your Number?, could grow out her armpit hair and be told -- by a man -- that it's a huge turn-on. Apparently the blonde comedienne grew her underarm hair out all summer for Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming comedy The Dictator, and turns out her cutie husband Chris Pratt, well, found it to be a total turn-on!

Turns out Anna Faris's husband Chris Pratt had the opposite reaction to her underarm creative expression.

Eva Longoria desperate houswives

'Desperate Housewives' star Eva Longoria and Tina Fey have been named the highest paid actresses on TV.


Longoria's 'Desperate Housewives' co-star Marcia Cross, who plays Bree on the show is next on the list alongside 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' actress Mariska Hargitay and 'CSI's Marg Helgenberger, who all made $10 million each.


'Desperate Housewives' stars Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman both made USD 9 million from their roles, while 'Cougar Town's Courteney Cox and 'Grey's Anatomy' actress Ellen Pompeo each raked in $7 million.

Schwarzenegger's bronze statues

The statue was shipped to his hometown of Thal, Austria, for a museum dedicated to his life and career. Former Governor and former "Terminator" Arnold Schwarzenegger has commissioned a series of bronze statues of himself in his physical prime.

According to reports, the statues are in "heroic" scale and are roughly one-and-a-quarter times life size (8 feet). The inspiration for the statues is the 22-inch sculpture created by artist Ralph Crawford in 1980. Oregon-based bronze-worker Tim Parks is pouring the metal for the larger pieces.

According to Parks, Arnold is keeping "one for himself" while another will be sent to the Schwarzenegger museum in Thal, Austria; a third statue will be purchased by Crawford.

I’ll see your Alex Rodriguez as a centaur and raise you three bronze Arnold Schwarzenegger statues. Schwarzenegger won seven Mr. Olympia titles from 1970-80.

We’re going to the Schwarzenegger Museum. Patina is a dark tarnish that exists after a bronze statue is created.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

The first Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was sold for $250,000 at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Las Vegas over the weekend.


The first retail Camaro ZL1, which was offered by a Sin City dealer, was used to raise money for the YMCA of Southern Nevada.


Yahoo! Autos reported that the Camaro ZL1 Hendricks will get is the only one produced with a Carbon Flash Metallic exterior, and will be the 69th Camaro ZL1 off the line at the Oshawa Assembly Plant, in tribute to the legendary 1969 Camaro ZL1. “Offering the 69th Camaro ZL1 at auction was a fitting tribute to the 1969 model, and a great way to benefit such a worthy cause as the YMCA,” said Chevrolet performance cars marketing director Russ Clark.

Chevrolet has yet to announce an official retail price for the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, which goes on sale in spring 2012, but early estimates are in the range of $47,000.

Chevrolet Camaro enthusiasts are thrilled, as the very first, brand new Camaro ZL1 has finally come out. The first collectible retail Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 went up for auction at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Las Vegas over the weekend. This very first Camaro ZL1 is stunning. It is being seen as a tribute to the legendary 1969 Camaro ZL1. There has been a long wait for this Camaro ZL1. The Camaro ZL1 has a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8, 580 horsepower and 556 lb-ft of torque.

Saggy Pants ban

The "Saggy Pants Law" requires educators to crack down on the indecent fashion trend by issuing warnings to students who wear pants/skirts that show their underwear, according to the Palm Beach Post News.

Critics of the law include not only citiznes but also the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida. The state has had this law in place since 2007.

A saggy pants ban has generated $4,000 in Albany, Georgia after only nine months, say city officials.



Government officials in Texas and Virginia attempted to implement a saggy pants ban, but met with strong resistance from community members.


Cities across the United States are taking notice of Albany’s "Saggy Pants Ban" and local officials are saying the ordinance is paying off.

Albany City Commissioner Tommie Postell initiated the ordinance and says he's glad to see it being implemented.
