When director Jonas Carpignano learned that his film A Ciambra was Italy’s official entry into the Oscar foreign-language film race on Sept. 25, the evening turned into a celebration to remember. Carpignano was in Southern Italy celebrating the Feast of Saints Cosmas and Damian, an annual festival that honors the twin physician saints.
“It’s the best party ever in Italy. We were dancing into the late hours of the night when we got the call,” he says of hearing the news alongside the film’s stars. “Everybody thinks the saints did it.”

It’s been a tough year for Teresa Giudice and her four daughters, but she’s making it work.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has spent nearly the last 10 months without her husband Joe since he started his 41-month prison sentence last March. The change has left Teresa to raise her girls — Gia, 15, Gabriella, 12, Milania, 11, and Audriana, 7 — as a single mom.
Teresa’s entire journey, from finishing her own 11-month prison sentence for fraud last December to adjusting to life apart from Joe, was documented on Rhonj. And in one early episode of 7, she Teresa broke down at...

Norma Shearer films Note: This article is being revised and expanded. Please check back later. Turner Classic Movies' Norma Shearer month comes to a close this evening, Nov. 24, '15, with the presentation of the last six films of Shearer's two-decade-plus career. Two of these are remarkably good; one is schizophrenic, a confused mix of high comedy and low drama; while the other three aren't the greatest. Yet all six are worth a look even if only because of Norma Shearer herself – though, really, they all have more to offer than just their top star. Directed by W.S. Van Dyke, the no-expense-spared Marie Antoinette (1938) – $2.9 million, making it one of the most expensive movies ever made up to that time – stars the Canadian-born Queen of MGM as the Austrian-born Queen of France. This was Shearer's first film in two years (following Romeo and Juliet) and her first release following husband Irving G.

'Saint Joan': Constance Cummings as the George Bernard Shaw heroine. Constance Cummings on stage: From sex-change farce and Emma Bovary to Juliet and 'Saint Joan' (See previous post: “Constance Cummings: Frank Capra, Mae West and Columbia Lawsuit.”) In the mid-1930s, Constance Cummings landed the title roles in two of husband Benn W. Levy's stage adaptations: Levy and Hubert Griffith's Young Madame Conti (1936), starring Cummings as a demimondaine who falls in love with a villainous character. She ends up killing him – or does she? Adapted from Bruno Frank's German-language original, Young Madame Conti was presented on both sides of the Atlantic; on Broadway, it had a brief run in spring 1937 at the Music Box Theatre. Based on the Gustave Flaubert novel, the Theatre Guild-produced Madame Bovary (1937) was staged in late fall at Broadway's Broadhurst Theatre. Referring to the London production of Young Madame Conti, The...

The Jersey Shore star took to Twitter on Wednesday to shoot down an InTouch Weekly story where a Florida woman claims Snooki's husband, Jionni Lavalle, flirted with her while he was engaged to the reality star. "We were dancing together and flirting, and then he asked me for my number," the woman told the magazine. "Jionni didn't act like he was getting married. He definitely acted single."

The woman also claims Jionni, 27, continued to text her and even asked her to go back to the boat where he was partying with friends. She says she declined because it was "clear he wanted more."
Snooki, 27, isn't buying it. "Fyi, this Bs story InTouch is posting is a lie & 'told' Last summer Lol," she tweeted. "Lost all respect for that magazine. My man ain't goin' nowhere #shady."

Did Snooki's husband Jionni Lavalle trying cheating on her before their wedding?! Earlier today, a report hit the web claiming Lavalle attempted to hook up with a Florida woman back in March when he and Snooki were engaged. "We were dancing together and flirting, and then he asked me for my number," the woman told InTouch. "Jionni didn't act like he was getting married. He definitely acted single." "As soon as we left the club, he started texting me, asking me to come back to the boat they were partying on. I didn't. It was clear he wanted more," she added. Despite the woman's wild claims, Snooki took to Twitter herself to set the record straight. "Fyi,...

Norma Shearer and Robert Montgomery live Private Lives but they
still want to show off their brand new DVD collections!
There's a reason that some former mega stars (Norma Shearer is a good example) fade in the public consciousness quicker than others. Actually there are many reasons: changing tastes, mediocre filmographies, undramatic personal lives -- especially if they don't end tragically, pop culture's rapid "who's next?" star meat grinder, lack of gay appeal (think about it: fascinating the gays insures a long shelf life for entertainers. I don't think I need to cite examples... they've probably popped into your head just reading that sentence). But I'm...
