TwitterBrittany Snow can't reveal the songs she and her co-stars sing in Pitch Perfect 2, but she can give us a little tease of what's to come.
"There are a lot of mashups in this one and there's this one performance in which we actually go insane and do all this great stuff," Snow told me at Elle's Women in TV celebration at the Sunset Tower Hotel. "I [use a] glow stick and there's hula-hooping. There's all sorts of madness. We got to get a little down and dirty."
The Pitch Perfect sequel includes the returns of Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Anna Camp. Elizabeth Banks not only produces and appears as an a capella competition judge, but she also directs the much-anticipated follow-up.
Speaking of singing, Kendrick said her work in Into the Woods may inspire her return to Broadway. "I couldn't sing Into the Woods eight times a week," she told me at the BAFTA-LA's pre-Golden Globes tea party. "I'd have to choose something a little more in my natural range...Just thinking about it raises my heart rate."
Busy With Wedding Planning
Courteney Cox's Cougar Town co-star Busy Philipps says she'd love to plan her wedding to rocker Johnny McDaid. "It's really hard for me because I love planning parties, but one of Courtney's best friends is a wedding planner," Philipps said.
Speaking of weddings, Big Hero 6's Jamie Chung said some of the save-the-dates have gone out for her and How to Make It in America star Bryan Greenberg's upcoming nuptials. "I haven't done my guest list yet but Bryan has," Chung told me at the Critics' Choice Awards. "His is a little higher than we agreed upon, about 125 each. But we both have big families."
Strip Tease
We're not sure if it's a happy ending, but Matt Bomer said of his fate in the Magic Mike sequel, Magic Mike XXL, "What my character ends up doing is sort of a surprise. It happens in the last act of the film."
Next, the freshly-minted Golden Globe winner will star in an HBO biopic of Montgomery Clift, the late closeted gay movie star who died at age 45 of a heart attack believed to have been a tragic result of drug addiction. "I've been attached to this for sort of awhile so I have had a lot of time to research," he told me at the Globes.
We can't wait to see who they get to play Clift's best friend Elizabeth Taylor.
Night Shift
James Corden has already received some advice from Jimmy Fallon about hosting CBS' The Late Late Show. "He said, just be yourself," the Into the Woods actor recalled. "You can be someone else once a week, twice a week, but five times a week, they'll know you. You gotta be yourself."
His Uncle Robert also offered some wise words. "He said, 'Don't f--k it up! A lot of us need our mortgages paid off," Corden said.
Corden makes his debut on March 23.
Smell You
Where in the world is Steve Carell's Foxcatcher nose? "Somewhere in Pittsburgh," the Oscar nominee said. "That's where all that stuff was left. Those things sort of disintegrate after awhile because they're actually not real resilient."
Mother's Day
There's a reason Kate Beckinsale's was rubbing up against Edward Norton on the Globes carpet. "My daughter has a massive crush on him," the Underworld beauty said. "I said to him, 'I'm touching you for my daughter.' It sounded weird, but I had to do it for her."
