Where 25 Movie Stars Went to College
Focus Features
Not all movie stars are created equal. Some are tall. Some are short. Some spend their free time on philanthropy. Some spend their free time in jail. And some secretly gave children up for adoption. Wait; that's actually Tina Fey's character in "Admission" — not to be confused with the real Tina Fey, who (at the time of this posting) has not put any of her offspring up for adoption. Get More »

20 Movie Stars You Didn't Know Were Jewish
Universal
Ah, Hanukah! Festival of Lights! A time for Jews everywhere to get together in a spirit of peace, give gifts and sing songs. It's also a time for gentiles everywhere to ask questions like "So... what's the deal with Hanukah?" and "How do you spell Chanukah?" and "Why does it keep moving around the calendar like a celebratory hobo?"
These are good questions; deep questions. And who better to ask than Hollywood's Jewish stars! But who's Jewish? It's no shock that certain actors are from the tribe (shalom, Sasha Baron Cohen!), but Zac Efron? Get More »

Video Q&A: Maggie Gyllenhaal Just 'Won't Back Down'
Maggie Gyllenhaal is a lot of things: A-list actress, Hollywood royalty, social activist … the list goes on and on. However, above anything else, Gyllenhaal is a mother.

Ranking the Women Behind Superheroes
Columbia Pictures
Girlfriends. Gal pals. Sidekicks. Whatever you call them, superheroes just wouldn't be able to rise to their full powers without a love interest — and usually a healthy dose of some smoldering on-screen sexuality.
So whether it's the famous upside down kiss between Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and girlfriend Kirsten Dunst or Gwyneth Paltrow's slinky skirts and witty banter with Iron Man Robert Downey, Jr., the chemistry between a superhero and his civilian paramour is usually an integral part of the story.

Q&A: Maggie Gyllenhaal Gets Hysterical Over 'Hysteria'
Getty Images
Ever since she broke out with her brazen turn as a kinky secretary in "Secretary," Maggie Gyllenhaal has kept delivering risky performances in a string of acclaimed indies, including "Sherrybaby," "Crazy Heart" (which netted her an Oscar nomination) and "Happy Endings." She also displayed her mainstream appeal as Bruce Wayne's feisty love interest in "The Dark Knight."
Her latest indie, "Hysteria," is a period romp, but don't let that fool you; this isn’t your typical corseted comedy. Directed by newcomer Tanya Wexler and costarring Hugh Dancy, Felicity Jones and Rupert Everett, "Hysteria" recounts the little-known story behind the invention of the vibrator in Victoria-era England. Gyllenhaal plays Charlotte Darlymple, a woman way ahead of her time who, against her better instincts, begins to fall for the man responsible for bringing pleasure to women the world over.
NextMovie caught up with the actress to talk about working in a corset, mastering a British accent, and the free goodies she got. Get More »
