Slumdog's Freida Pinto to Clint: Make My Workday

Slumdog Millionaire beauty Freida Pinto may be the new It girl in Hollywood these days, but she's not looking to relocate from her native India for the sunny glitz of Tinseltown anytime soon.
"I'm going to back to Bombay. I have a wonderful agent there," Pinto told me at yesterday's In Style and Diamond Information Center lunch in Beverly Hills. "But I'll probably be going back and forth."
Slumdog is Pinto's very first movie. And things are moving fast.
Milk Director Talks Prop 8 and Rick Warren

Gus Van Sant didn't know he was sitting on a political firestorm when he made Milk.
The director says that California's anti-gay-marriage ballot initiative, Prop 8, wasn't even a blip on the radar during the making of the Harvey Milk biopic. The movie, starring Sean Penn, features the 1970s fight against California's Prop 6, which unsuccessfully tried to ban gay teachers in public schools.
Anne Hathaway Is a Golden Globes Winner...Maybe

Angelina Jolie may want to keep practicing her sore-loser death stare for Sunday's Golden Globes.
The official Golden Globes website may have accidentally revealed yesterday that Anne Hathaway will take home the statuette for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama. There was a star published next to the Rachel Getting Married nominee's name, which indicates the winner.
Angelina Jolie Gives Anne Hathaway the Stink Eye
Angelina Jolie lost hard-core at last night's Critics' Choice Awards. They even gave out two Best Actress awards and they couldn't fit the Changeling star in there. Instead, the critics chose to honor Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep.
And Angie did not look too happy about it. While Anne stuttered through a rambling acceptance speech highlighting her fellow "celluloid sisters" (which is a considerable improvement from her “process metaphysics” lecture earlier this week), Angelina made no attempt to hide her disdain, and we love her for it. Usually actors use their acting skills to feign joy for the award show victors, which is no fun for us.
We weren't able to make out the exact meaning of the staredown, but we guess it went something like this: "Did I mention you ruined a perfectly good dress with that giant napkin?" Or "You know I'm the most beautiful woman in the world, right? Just checking." Or "How 'bout you and your receding gums go sit on a tiara?" Or "You're the one with the boyfriend in prison, is that correct? Have you met my boyfriend? His name's Brad Pitt." Really, the possibilities are endless—give it a try.
Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie: Critics' Must-See Couple?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie didn't win any prizes tonight, but they were the center of the universe inside the Critics' Choice Awards.
Just like last year, every time there was a commercial break, it seemed like everyone stood up to gawk at Hollywood's shiniest golden couple.
Of course, they weren't left alone for even a nanosecond.
Critics Vote Milk, Slumdog, Heath, Anne and Meryl

The prime-time portion of the posthumous honoring of Heath Ledger has begun.
The late thesp was named Best Supporting Actor at the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards Thursday—not the first award bestowed upon Ledger for his extraordinarily nuanced performance in The Dark Knight, but his most public win to date and his peers' first chance to give him an evening-gown-and-tux-clad standing ovation.
"Anyone who's seen any of the extraordinary work that Heath did knows that I can't presume to speak for him in any way, because his voice was as unique as it was original. But...I know that I speak for all of us when I say that working with him was one of the greatest experiences any of us ever had or probably ever will have," said director Christopher Nolan, whose film also notched a win for Best Action Movie, in accepting the trophy on Ledger's behalf.
The superhero blockbuster lost out on the top prize, however, to critical darling Slumdog Millionaire, which rose above all comers with a leading five wins, including Best Picture and Best Director for Danny Boyle.
