Ryan Reynolds Weeps...

Jane Magazine has some great fake mugshots of actors from the Sundance Film Festival. I'm putting this up especially for Mia, because she would like to think that he's sobbing uncontrollably because he can't be with her!! hahaha!!

Billy Baldwin Has A Swag Mule!

It's true, it's all true, swag turns rational people into maniacs. And Billy Baldwin (the one that's not Alec or Stephen) confirms it to Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch. We have been talking a bit about about the war on swag and it doesn't seem to be going that well. Maybe we need to send in more troops? Billy Baldwin took a publicist with him to Sundance as he has two movies to promote, and his poor publicist ended up carrying the swag for him.

"I don't know what bothers me more about Sundance: all of the free s--- that they give to the rich and famous who don't need it, or the way that I behave when thrown into the den of swag. I can sit here and pretend that I'm above it all, but in reality, after being given free iPods and Razr telephones, jewelry and vacations, if my grandmother -- may she rest in peace -- stood between me and the last Philips flat screen television, I'd lay her out right on her ass for that bad boy.

"I hired a publicist to come here with me because I had two films in the festival. I figured because I had two pictures I probably would need somebody to wrangle all of the various media outlets -- print, electronic, etc. She wound up becoming my swag mule, schlepping the hoards up and down Main Street so that I didn't look like the gluttonous whore that I am in front of the throngs of media and paparazzi."

Good luck with your new movies, American Fork and Adrift in Manhattan, Billy!

Tara Reid at Sundance?

Look who showed up at Sundance - Tara Reid! Very interesting. I think someone is trying to make us all forget her drunk party girl look and make a come back.
I'm not sure about her outfit here though. Lots of fur and fuzz. And those curls! Wow. Gotta hand it to her though, she is definitely cleaning up her act.

The War on Swag continutes at Sundance 2007

Celebrities piled into Park City, UT this weekend for The Sundance Film Festival, which once used to be a quiet film festival for independent films and is now more well known for celebrity appearances and swag tents. Just like at the Golden Globes last week, Robert Redford and The Sundance Film Festival organizers have joined the war on swag. Marc Caro from the Chicago Tribune says

At founder Robert Redford’s behest, the Sundance Film Festival has taken up the
war on swag as well.Every year, the quaint Main Street of Park City, Utah, increasingly resembles a corporate logo showcase as companies rent out storefronts to create “hospitality lounges” from which to “gift” celebrities.None of this is done with Sundance’s blessing, so Redford gave his staffers a mandate to do all they could to promote the festival’s role as a place to celebrate filmmakers and their work, period.

Kevin Bacon is also trying to take the focus away from swag, by talking about his charity SixDegrees.org which is an on-line network where you can learn about charities your friends and celebrities support, and you can contribute as well. The network uses the theory that everyone, including Kevin Bacon, is only six people away from anyone else.

I guess the glory days of swag are coming to an end - watch out celebrities, you might actually have to pay for your own spa weekends and $400 sunglasses!!.
