Originally posted 10/26/2010 08:15AM
Carey Mulligan and Shia LaBeouf have said goodbye to their romance, PEOPLE has confirmed. The Transformers star and the Never Let Me Go actress, who were first linked in August 2009 after being spotted kissing at a New York restaurant, called it quits "some time ago," according to sources.
Since the split, Mulligan has been in Los Angeles shooting the indie film Drive, opposite Ryan Gosling. She checked in to the Best Western Hollywood Hills Hotel for a few days while the film shot nearby.
"I don't know why people are so down on the Best Western," Mulligan joked to PEOPLE at Monday's Hollywood Film Awards in L.A., where she presented her Never Let Me Go costar Andrew Garfield with an award. "They have the best sweet potato fries I've ever had."

Penn Badgley & Blake Lively Have Dueling Premieres in Toronto
Originally posted 09/13/2010 07:30AM
Plenty of star couples have turned up at the Toronto International Film Festival hand in hand – but for Penn Badgley and Blake Lively, a date night was mission: impossible.
Badgley walked the carpet solo for the premiere of his new comedy Easy A on Saturday at the same time as Lively screened her movie, The Town. "Unfortunately, her premiere is, like, right now," Badgley, 23, told PEOPLE. "Otherwise, we would be at each other's."
Lively stars as a troubled single mom in the crime thriller, directed by Ben Affleck and costarring Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall. "It was a pretty rough experience," says Lively, also 23. "Every scene required so much emotion and pain."

Ben Affleck, Natalie Portman, Joaquin Phoenix Fuel Toronto Film Fest Buzz
Originally posted 09/09/2010 11:20AM
Hoping to get a glimpse of Ben Affleck, shoot the breeze with James Franco, or catch a canoodle between Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan? Then pack your bags for Toronto, because those are just of the few of the glittery names hitting town for the 35th Toronto International Film Festival.
Speaking of The Town, Affleck's heist drama of that name is one of the festival's most hotly anticipated films, along with Mulligan's mesmerizing Never Let Me Go, about children raised to be spare parts for wealthier, luckier humans. Having seen both, we can already declare them more than worthy (and look for Mulligan's name on Best Actress ballots come Oscar time).
Also generating heavy buzz is Franco in 127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle's film about Aron Ralston, the hiker forced to cut off his own arm after being trapped by a boulder, and Natalie Portman in Black Swan, a dark (some say creepy) film about the ballet world. Word is, we should expect to see Portman giving Mulligan some solid competition come awards season.

While Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps stars Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan huddled affectionately nearby on Friday in Cannes, director Oliver Stone couldn't help but reflect back to watching the two fall in love on set.
"It was all thanks to me," Stone told PEOPLE, laughing, of the young costars' "amazing and wonderful" romance during a lush party in the hills above Cannes, following the film's premiere.
"You could see their chemistry right away, and it was pretty powerful," the director said. "They were completely professional on the set, but there was no mistaking what was happening."

Shia LaBeouf: What I Love About Carey Mulligan
Originally posted 03/16/2010 06:00PM
Shia LaBeouf isn't usually shy about discussing his personal life. But when it comes to his Oscar-nominated girlfriend, Carey Mulligan, he's uncharacteristically tight-lipped.
"I never really had anything in my life that was off-limits. But with this, just out of respect, I just don't want to [expletive] around," the actor, 23, tells GQ in its April issue.
He will offer this much about his Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps costar, also 23: "She's an unbelievably thought-provoking actress, the most talented actress I've ever met in my life, by leaps and bounds. Neither one of us are fame whores. It works out. It's not like we're the premiere couple; we're not the red-carpet king and queen."

Originally posted 03/07/2010 11:45PM
After Neil Patrick Harris brought down the house with a musical number heralding the arrival of this year's Academy Awards co-hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, the guys wasted no time cracking up the audience – and picking on the night's biggest names.
Nobody was safe – not Meryl Streep, Zac Efron nor Matt Damon – from Baldwin and Martin's repartee. Here are some of the duo's best lines:
• "[Best Actress nominee] Gabourey [Sidibe] and I have something in common: In our first movies we were both born a poor black child." – Steve Martin, joking about his beloved comedy The Jerk
• "She was so pleased to be nominated with him, she sent him a beautiful gift basket with a timer." – Steve Martin, on Best Director winner Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker), who was nominated against her ex-husband, James Cameron (Avatar)

Christoph Waltz, Up Early Oscar Winners
Originally posted 03/07/2010 09:00PM
Music and laugher kicked off the 2010 Academy Awards from Hollywood's Kodak Theatre. In a non-traditional first, the show actually opened with the 10 Best Actor and Actress nominees introduced alphabetically before escorts rose from the audience and guided them to their seats.
Then the fun began.
Neil Patrick Harris, who hosted the Tonys and Emmys last year, delivered the show's opening musical number, "No One Wants to Do It Alone," essentially setting the stage for hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin – who spent their opening dialogue poking fun at the top nominees who had just been seated.
"There's that damn Helen Mirren," said Martin – prompting Baldwin to say, "Steve, that's Dame Helen Mirren."

Which Oscar Virgin Are You Rooting For?
Originally posted 03/07/2010 09:00AM
There will be a whole lot of green on the red carpet Sunday night. No, the procession into the 2010 Academy Awards isn't getting a makeover. This year's pool of nominees are just a fresh-faced bunch of newcomers!
The first-time Oscar nominees are as varied as their roles. From Christoph Waltz, who is the favorite among best supporting actor contenders for his role as an evil Nazi colonel in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, to Mo'Nique, who is the front runner in the best supporting actress category for playing an abusive mother in Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire.
Her competition includes film alum Maggie Gyllenhaal for Crazy Heart and big-screen newbie Anna Kendrick for Up in the Air. The best actress race also has some young blood: An Education's Carey Mulligan and Precious's Gabourey Sidibe, who was an unknown receptionist before landing this, her first, role.
The Academy's votes will be revealed Sunday night. But now it's your turn:
