We just got word that...
Morning Mail! Is Les Miz Better Sans Taylor Swift?
Ed Rode/WireImage
Dear Ted:
God has decided that we had been tortured enough. I am so happy I could cry. I know you and I disagree about Taylor Swift. But I honestly would have rather had the corpse of Walter Matthau being lip synched in by Terry Fator as Eponine over Swifty. She simply isn't Eponine. Cosette? Oh hell yes. Would have made a decent Cosette. Do not make me come over there to explain this to you again. I have had a terrible seven days. So this is somewhat helpful. This chick did a great job at the 25th anniversary concert and was very believable opposite Nick Jonas. Enough said. All my love.
—Kate
Dear Swiftly Gone:
Hmmm, some harsh words you have for T.Swift, babe. Thing is, Tay's already proved to the world she's got talent for days (gal's been named Entertainer of the Year twice at the CMA awards), but obviously someone thinks Samantha Barks can do Eponine better. Still too soon to say how Ms. Barks will fair in her big screen break, but in the meantime, we suggest you take a stab at writing a song—always works for Tay when she has some built-up anger!
Dear Ted:
OMG Kristen Stewart is soooo unique! What a rebel! I've never seen a young hipster girl flip anyone off!

Liam Neeson! Kate Beckinsale! Can Anyone Be an Action Star These Days?!
Screengems; Kimberley French/Open Road Films
Liam Neeson and Kate Beckinsale are both in huge action movies right now. Does this officially mean that anyone can be an action star?
—Sixty B., via the inbox
Say that again. Liam Neeson is just waiting to beat you senseless with a dead wolf and then finish you off with an ice pick.
His upcoming man-vs.-lupine thriller, The Grey, along with a remake of The A-Team, the upcoming Battleship, the hit Taken and its sequel (now filming), mean that the man who played Oskar Schlinder is essentially an action star at least five times over.
Does that mean that Meryl Streep or Colin Firth is next?
Movie Review: Kate Beckinsale's Back in Black for Underworld Awakening (Fanboys Rejoice!)
Sony Pictures
Review in a Hurry: After leaving the third film to the just-as-sexy Rhona Mitra, Kate Beckinsale is back in skintight black for the fourth installment. Death Dealer Selene (Beckinsale) wakes up in a future where humans have discovered the existence of vampires and Lycans. Led by Stephen Rea, they have waged a war to eradicate both.
The budget is bigger and the 3-D is pretty much a given nowadays, but Awakening keeps it simple and most importantly knows Beckinsale never needs a wardrobe change. Fans will be pleased, although if you've never seen an Underworld film there's probably no reason to start now.
Movie Review: Contraband's Dark Turn Spoils an Otherwise Fun, Sleek Heist Flick
Patti Perret/Universal Studios
Review in a Hurry: Former smuggler Chris Farraday (Mark Wahlberg) is pulled into one last job to keep his screwed-up brother-in-law Andy (and by extension, the rest of the family) out of danger. An unusual sort of heist movie in which the heist itself keeps changing, Contraband makes for a fun flick at first, until a nasty—and tonally inconsistent—misogynistic streak kills the joy.
Golden Globes: Which Other Stars Will Be Presenting?

The Golden Globes are coming along quite nicely, thank you very much.
Well, make that quite beautifully...
Week in Pictures: Bikini Bodies, Topless Hunks, Sexy Swimwear and Much More
Splash News; Flynet;Fame Pictures; PacificCoastNews.com
Is it hot in here or is it just us?
There was plenty of skin to be seen this week as some of the sexiest stars stripped down to barely nada.
There was Gerard Butler heating up the coast of L.A. as he shot scenes for his surfer movie Of Men and Mavericks and Kate Beckinsale bringing her beautiful bod to Mexico while on vacay. But it was definitely Tampa Bay that was feeling more like the inside of a volcano as Channing Tatum, Olivia Munn and Joe Manganiello all shed a bit of clothing in the Florida city to film Magic Mike. Well, it is a stripper flick, after all.
Believe it or not, though, there were several other famous faces who actually managed to get through the last seven days without doffing their duds...
Bikini Shot of the Day: Kate Beckinsale Brings Her Beautiful Bod to Mexico
Clasos.com / Splash News
Check out Kate Beckinsale's backside!
Yes, indeed. The Everybody's Fine star was looking pretty darn fine as she soaked up a little sun in Mexico on Tuesday.
The actress, on vacay with her director hubby Len Wiseman, easily gave paps the perfect pic while sporting a black two-piece.
Sure, Rihanna may have just been named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive. But, lest we forget, Kate also received the very same honor back in 2009.
Of course, given what we see here, maybe that title should simply be bestowed upon her every year.
What's Better Than Twilight? Underworld, According to Some (Including Kate Beckinsale)

Kate Beckinsale likes her black latex just fine, thank you very much.
"I don't mind being the grandmammy of vampires, actually," she said today at the Underworld: Awakening panel at Comic-Con, when asked if it bothered her that she doesn't glitter, like some other vampires on the big screen these days.
"I don't mind being the mature one with no glitter or a shiny bottom," Beckinsale laughed. "Cruise along on that one."
We would have, but we were already stuck on what she said earlier in an obvious reference to the Twilight Saga...
Bitch Back! Who Will Make the Best Elizabeth Taylor?
Hulton Archive/Getty Images
Dear Ted:
The only one I can think of who has the dignity, the experience and the face to play Elizabeth Taylor is Blair Brown. Did anyone remember her as Jackie O? What a performance! Not to mention And I Alone Survived.
—M
Dear No Way:
Are you kidding? Elizabeth was an icon who needs a fresh face to carry on her legacy. Sorry, but Blair Brown—gifted as she very well may be—has no heat. And Taylor was all about fiery independence, even well after she stopped making movies. We need a younger Hollywood take. Somebody who's equal parts talent and rebel.
Dear Ted:
Though Liz Taylor can never truly be replaced, what do you think about either Rachel Weisz or Kate Beckinsale for Cleopatra? Both of these gorgeous English ladies have proven that they can act. Do you agree?
—Jana
