Movie 43 Trailer: See Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman and More Do Raunchy, Gross-Out Humor

What's in a number? A lot, apparently.
Ladies and gents, may we direct your attention to Movie 43, a star-packed, über-raunchy ensemble comedy whose very NSFW red-band trailer just found its way into the wild. And this is as red band as it gets.
First up, the flick racks up some serious digits: It was reportedly helmed by 12 directors, took seven writers to stitch together and features, well, a bazillion big stars.

No, really—the A-list lineup is sick: It includes, among many others, Emma Stone, Kate Winslet, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Anna Faris, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Naomi Watts, Terrence Howard, Richard Gere and Gerard Butler...as a leprechaun.
See?

So exactly what is it about?
We're still trying to figure that out. Based on this off-the-rails trailer, this much we can say: Think New Year's Eve-style ensemble comedy...if the cast of Bridesmaids happened to pig out on Hangover jokes, down that with a Jackass slushie, and then belch everything out.
And check out a mom played by Watts acted like a high school mean girl or Stone exchange unpleasantries in a convenience store.

Or see Faris ask real-life husband Chris Pratt, "Will you poop on me?"

Or watch Howard said some really un-PC stuff to an impressionable bunch of basketball players.
So, are you laughing yet?

Aretha Franklin Biopic Is Back On - BET.com

Aretha Franklin Biopic Is Back On

Director Taylor Hackford is on board, plus Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Audra McDonald or Jennifer Hudson could possibly star.

When it comes to the highly discussed biopic on Aretha Franklin’s life, no Hollywood producer or director has been more vocal or quotable on the project than the Queen of Soul herself. After announcing the movie’s hiatus a few months back, the 70-year old music legend has confirmed updates on how her story will shape up on the silver screen.

In a Glamour.com article, Franklin says that director Taylor Hackford is now attached to the project and the Ray director is crafting the best vision of her life story.

“Oh, yeah. I’m in superb hands with Taylor Hackford. We are fine-tuning the treatment now. The treatment has four acts. He has finished all four,” Franklin told Glamour. “We’re now reworking some of it where it needs work: ‘A little more drama, tell me something else, what else happened here? We need a little more of this, a little more of that.’”

Along with her personal casting choices, Franklin says the Oscar nominated director is weighing in on which actors would be best for the project as well. The two initially had different ideas on who should play her dad, the Reverend C.L. Franklin.

“He [Taylor] mentioned Denzel [Washington] first, and I was thinking of Billy Dee [Williams]. That’s who I was thinking of,” says Franklin. “And he mentioned Denzel, and I said ‘Hmm...’ And when I thought about Malcolm X, and what he did with that, I said, ‘Yes! He could do it. He could handle it. If he put a little more weight on and glasses, he could handle it.’”

But finally, as for who will ultimately fill the regal starring role of the Queen of Soul, Franklin says she and Hackford have whittled their selections down to a trio of actresses.

“We have Jennifer Hudson, we have Halle Berry and Audra McDonald. That's the last three,” says Franklin. “I went to see Audra in Porgy and Bess, and I was very impressed with her dramatic ability. She was terrific.” But the Grammy legend admits to having reservations about one of her choices. “…Jennifer had voice. Audra has voice. The question is whether or not Audra can cross over into soul. You know, she does Broadway magnificently. But can she get over into soul is the question,” Franklin added.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame icon says she has only one ultimate goal for the movie version of her life story. “Accuracy. The facts,” says Franklin. “Let’s present the facts and be as creative as possible with them.”

There’s a 13-year difference between the two actresses.

And while Katherine Heigl may have age on her side, Halle Berry proved that she has far more wisdom when it comes to style at an LA event on Friday.

The 46-year-old screen star trumped the 33-year-old when they both attended Variety’s 4^th Annual Power of Women event wearing similar dresses.

But while Berry – who turned up with fiancé Olivier Martinez - put her cleavage on display in the lower cut item, also letting her pins go bare, Heigl opted to remain a little more modest.

The blonde – who was earlier spotted catching a limousine to the venue wither mother – covered her legs in unflattering nude tights and her neckline rose a little higher than Halle’s.

Halle Berry is definitely getting into the holiday spirit - but perhaps not as much as her four-year-old daughter.
A day after their trip to a pumpkin patch, the actress was seen Halloween shopping with her little girl Nahla in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
And the tot was so inspired after poking around the ghouls and goblins, she seemed compelled to pull a festive face in attempt to frighten her mom.

'Boo!' Nahla appeared to attempt to frighten her mom as she pulled a cute face while hopping into their car

The X-Men star, 46, was dressed down in denim cut-off shorts and a red-and-white baseball style shirt, paired with a cap and flip flops, for the family outing.
Nahla meanwhile was the spitting image of her mom, wearing a white shirt and denim shorts she matched with hot pink sneakers.

The pair were seen leaving a spooky store with a head-turning display of rubber ghosts, monsters and skeletons outside.
And it seemed Nahla was interested in getting a closer look.

The curly-haired tot, whom Halle shares with ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, appeared hesitant at first. But eventually she got the guts to reach out and put her finger in the 'bloody' mouth of one of the characters.
And upon hopping into the car, Halle was in for an unexpected fright.
Her little girl took the opportunity to pull a face, appearing to say 'Boo!' as Halle turned her way.
But it seemed to be an endearing moment for the mother-of-one, who took Nahla out for a trip to a pumpkin patch in nearby Simi Valley on Monday.

Halle was accompanied by a female friend while Gabriel also attended the outing, although he and Halle steered clear of one another - at least in front of the cameras.

The status of the case is unknown as legal proceedings have been sealed.
However, it appears for now the couple is happily living in Los Angeles.
