—Thandie Newton, currently starring in Norbit, on her idea of a memorable red carpet moment.
FACTORY BREAK-IN
Stylish starlet Sienna Miller couldn't control her curious impulses while researching her role in the biopic Factory Girl. Miller, 25, who stars as Warhol's muse Edie Sedgwick, took cues from her character's notorious boldness when she visited the model's former Santa Barbara, Calif., home. "I kind of broke into the Sedgwick ranch and had a look around," Miller said. "Edie was born there and ended her days there; it really feels like her."
JEREMY PIVEN, currently starring in the dark action comedy Smokin' Aces, dishes on...
His best role ever: This movie is one of those gems. It's the best role I've ever had in my life. But I'd love to get the girl in something.
Bonding with rapper-actor Common: Even before we did Smokin' Aces, our synchronicity was pretty heavy. We'd done a Gap campaign, and the other day I pulled to a stoplight, looked next to me and there he was. Sometimes I think I'm stalking him.
On his dramatic scenes: [Director] Joe Carnahan asked me, "Do you want to go deep on this role?" I've waited my entire life for that. I have an emotional side. To be honest, I'm a big crybaby!
On Ari Gold's Entourage return: They were wrong to fire Ari, and the best stuff is in the upcoming season. Ari Gold will rise like the phoenix. You can't count him out!
FACE OFF: JAMES DENTON AND DAVID ARQUETTE
The two actors were set to play against each other in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game Feb. 16. How they stack up:
HEIGHT
James Denton: 6'1" "I used to be able to dunk with two hands, but I have lost a little bit of the vertical."
David Arquette: 5'10½ "But I'm gonna wear platform boots with a goldfish in the heel!"
POSITION
James Denton: Point Guard "I was a plenty-good high school player and I went to junior college on scholarship."
David Arquette: Defensive Master "I pattern my game after Dennis Rodman, with a little Charles Barkley thrown in."
TRAINING REGIMEN
James Denton: "The court is huge and you get tired so fast. I won't do my typical Vegas routine, which is to drink about 20 beers."
David Arquette: "I've been training for this hard–very seriously. Mainly by eating a lot of nachos."
TRASH TALK
James Denton: "I never trash-talk strangers, but I'm a little bigger than David. And I'm better than most."
David Arquette: "Tell James to bring it, and bring all of his Desperate Housewives. I'll put 'em all to shame."
