--- Bathed In Gold - Somebody figure out the riddle of who Robert Pattinson is talking here in Esquire UK:

"This actress was doing a scene in the bath and she kept complaining about the temperature, how it was too hot or too cold. So everyone pissed in it and put a bunch of bubble bath in afterwards so you couldn’t smell it! This stuff happens. That’s why I avoid asking for anything. I don’t want to get anyone’s piss on me."

Michael at DListed thinks it could have been Reese Witherspoon on the set of Water For Elephants, which sounds possible given Reese's reputation. But there are also a couple of actresses in that Bel Ami movie he was in (no not the Eastern European porn, unfortunately) I could see this going down with. So who has a bath scene? It's not like I'm watching any of these movies myself.

--- Getting Wet - That girl pretending that a cardigan makes her shy and dumpy in the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer has just been cast in the new movie from I Am Love director Luca Guadagnino, which is one we've been following ever since I Am Love wowed us so hard, but with her casting comes more info than we've had so far - it's going to be called A Bigger Splash and it's a remake of the 1969 flick La Piscine, which starred Romy Schneider and Alain Delon as a couple who get into a love triangle with the younger Jane Birkin. I've never seen La Piscine, but I have seen Alain Delon in it...

... I really should see La Piscine. The most important news I haven't even gotten to - in this here remake, Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes are playing the older couple. Yeah, we all live or die by this movie now. It is everything.

--- Tom's Friend - My current favorite ginger whose named doesn't rhyme with ass-bender has a new job - Domhnall Gleeson is going to be in that Leonardo Dicaprio / Tom Hardy movie The Revenant that I can only get mildly excited about because A) I don't really love Leo and B) it's being directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, blecch. But still, we do love Domhnall, and maybe he'll play Tom hardy's boyfriend or something.

--- Monster Maker - I wasn't as crazy-in-love with Wadjda as a lot of people seemed to be (my review) but I do find it interesting that its director is making a movie about Frankenstein author Mary Shelley starring Elle Fanning next - that's a leap! The movie will be about her romance with Percy Shelley when she was 17, before she wrote the book that would come to define her.

--- Crouching Hot Piece - I'm glad to see that Harry Shum Jr. is getting a gig somewhere off of Glee, because, uh, well because he is a hot piece, full stop. (More pictures here.) I have no idea if he can act. Anyway Harry is bringing his abs to the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon sequel! The choreographer of the fight scenes in Ang Lee's original movie is playing director this time, but Michelle Yeoh is returning to the role she was so so good in. Another hot piece, Donnie Yen, is co-starring.

--- Note To Self - read this long piece on the making of David Ayer's Fury (I mean Haircut: The Movie) over at The New York Times on your lunch break. (thanks Mac) There are several pictures of Brad Pitt's haircut to break up the monotony of all them words, thankfully.
