100 Movie Stars, 100 Porn Star Names
The "porn star name game" is a time-honored tradition in America.
It's a game pretty much anyone can play, depending on the rules — we employ the First Name: First Pet, Last Name: Street You Grew Up On method (our apologies to those with allergies, maybe you had a goldfish?). And the results are, without fail, hilarious.
We asked 100 of our favorite movie stars in Hollywood — including Emma Watson, Keira Knightley, Megan Fox, Ryan Gosling, Paul Rudd, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Katie Holmes, Jon Hamm, Emma Stone and Neil Patrick Harris — for their porn star names. They did not let us down. Click through the gallery for all 100.

Riviera"), Joanna Varikos ("Angel 14") and Kase Wickman ("Blake Sisters").
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 »

The 25 Coolest People in Movies

What does it mean to be cool? It's pretty damn subjective. So when compiling our list of the 25 coolest people making movies right now (somebody had to do it, right?), we accounted for various factors.
These are the actors who not only impress us onscreen (though that helps), but convey a certain genuineness off it, be it at awards shows, on TV appearances or during our own personal experiences interviewing them. They can be multi-talents, also excelling at music, art or writing. And they can make a habit of turning up in hilarious viral videos or even at your local karaoke bar.
But most of all, these are the 25 actors we'd really just like to sit down and have a beer with.
Welcome to NextMovie's 1st annual Cool List – and let us know who makes your own list in the comments section below. Get More »

Rashida Jones Upgrades to Lead Status in 'Celeste and Jesse Forever'
Sony Pictures Classics
"Celeste and Jesse Forever," the indie comedy that charmed Sundance audiences earlier this year, has been pegged as a breakup comedy, but you wouldn't know it from the first ten or so minutes of the film.
A cute opening title sequence shows the two lovebirds of the title (played by Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg) meeting, canoodling and eventually wedding all in quick succession. Next thing you know it, the two are sharing a car ride together, acting as happy couples do by bantering and declaring their love for one another. It's only at a dinner with friends that it all becomes clear: Celeste and Jesse are in fact separated, and on their way to an amicable divorce. The thing is, they're still best friends. Get More »

Q&A: Rashida Jones on Writing, Ron Swanson and Irrationality Over Her Race

Rashida Jones wanted to tell a certain story, play a specific character, and truly challenge herself. So she did what most actors can't: She wrote her own movie.
Along with close friend/ fellow actor Will McCormack, Jones penned a story based on their own relationship: The two dated briefly before deciding they were better off as friends, and then became as close as could be. The result is "Celeste and Jesse Forever," a funny, heartfelt film about a divorced couple intent on remaining BFFs, with Jones co-starring alongside Andy Samberg in the title roles.
The Harvard-educated daughter of legendary music producer Quincy Jones and comedic actress best known for TV's "Parks and Recreation" got candid with us about baring her soul in "Celeste" and the internet's ridiculous obsession with her race. Get More »

Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg Are BFF in 'Celeste and Jesse Forever' Trailer
Sony Pictures Classics
Thank god for Rashida Jones!
That's got to be what Andy Samberg is thinking today. After all, his new film, "That's My Boy," kind of threw up all over itself at the box office. But luckily for Samberg — and movie fans everywhere — that bad taste is already being washed away by the sweet new trailer for Jones and Samberg's upcoming rom-com/dramedy "Celeste and Jesse Forever."
Which, by the way, we have right here. Get More »
