Why Gwyneth Paltrow is ‘Never Going’ to the Met Gala Again

Posted: 09 May 2013 11:18 AM PDT

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow didn't enjoy her evening at the "Punk: Chaos to Couture" Costume Institute Gala at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday.

Wearing a pink Valentino gown, she told USA Today, "I'm never going again. It was so un-fun. It was boiling. It was too crowded. I did not enjoy it at all."

Paltrow's husband, Chris Martin, was also in attendance, but the two did not pose together on the red carpet because, as Paltrow explained, they like to keep their relationship "private."

Iron Man 3 Chinese Scenes to Be Recut Into a Short Film

Posted: 09 May 2013 10:18 AM PDT

Iron Man 3 short film featuring Chinese actors is in the works

As Iron Man 3 enters into its second weekend in domestic release, and third week internationally, plans are underway to showcase the Chinese actors who only briefly appeared in the U.S. version. Beijing-based co-producers DMG Entertainment are assembling a short film entitled The Prologue, which will prominently feature Chinese stars Xueqi Wang and Bingbing Fan.

Both actors appeared for only 10 seconds in the domestic and international versions of director Shane Black's blockbuster, but were seen for three minutes in the version crafted specifically for Chinese audiences, which we reported on back in March.

One scene in question, in the international release, was towards the end of the film, where Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) met with Dr. Wu (Xueqi Wang), who provided acupuncture surgery that healed his injuries. Bingbing Fan played Dr. Wu's assistant in the scene. In the domestic version, Dr. Wu meets with Tony Stark briefly, in the beginning of the film set in 1999. Another scene in the Chinese-only version featured Iron Man launching into the sky in front of Dr. Wu and a group of Chinese children, with Beijiing's Yongdingmen gate featured in the background.

Many international journalists have complained that both actors' roles were cut to token appearances in the film, which may be why this short film was created. There are no clear-cut plans for when and how this short film will be released, but some have speculated that it may end up on the Blu-ray and DVD release. Iron Man 3 has earned 482 million yuan since its release in China, which is equivalent to $78.6 million US dollars.

Iron Man 3 was released May 3rd, 2013 and stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Jon Favreau, Ben Kingsley, James Badge Dale. The film is directed by Shane Black.

I've been a fan [of his] and I think his gifted natural comedic timing might come in handy to play someone like Star-Lord. I was just excited to be asked to join by James Gunn and to also play someone green. I've been blue before. I'm in the process right now of the evolution of conceiving Gamora's look. It's exciting!

PACIFIC RIM: TALES FROM YEAR ZERO HORIZON BRAVE ROMEO BLUE Pacific Rim -- Go Big or Go Home -- Regal Movies PACIFIC RIM SYNOPSIS - When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.
