I was pleasantly surprised to find Miss Heard on the pages of the November 2007 issue of FHM (UK edition). The article itself seems very much the same as the recent Arena one, only shorter, but the picture is brand new and pretty damn hot! Be sure to check it out!

I hope fellow UK fans watched the first two episodes of Hidden Palms on Sky One yesterday. Maybe if the show will be a surprise hit here in Britain (even though there has been very little promotion), The CW might do another season of it. Wishful thinking, I guess, but I know I’d love to see more of Greta and Amber.

The lovely Miss Heard attended two additional events this past week; Macy’s Passport Gala 2007 yesterday and Intermix Los Angeles Debut on 25th September. From a hippie chick to a foxy lady, Amber rocks the red carpet with style and class! Enjoy the first pictures from both events.

What a nice surprise it was to come by new pictures of Amber this morning! She went to the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party yesterday in Los Angeles. While I don’t personally love the dress, Amber sure wears it well and those flats are adorable. She looks beautiful! Gotta love her!

EDIT 9/25: A bunch more pictures from this event have been added, be sure to check them out!

By accident I came across a music video for Einsley’s “I Wasn’t Prepared” and it stars none other than Miss Heard! She looks absolutely stunning in white and the video features a little bit of dialogue. I have updated with screencaptures and the video. Be sure to check them out!

If anyone has any details regarding Amber’s other music video appearances, please do not hesitate to let us know!

Film-production business, that is. State incentives draw crews here, and a new project offers Djimon Hounsou for star power.

It looks like the conditioning class from, well, Hades.

A dozen young people, perspiring and sprinting, are trying to keep up with Oscar-nominee Djimon Hounsou as he lopes down the Sanford waterfront, the boats and palm trees of Monroe Harbour Marina forming a lovely backdrop for a punishing movie moment.

The movie is Get Some, about high schoolers who brawl in an explosively popular new sport, “mixed martial arts.” Sanford’s waterfront will be this Rocky story’s museum steps, the inspiring training sequence in which the hero (Sean Faris of TV’s Reunion) whips himself into shape.

Are you a big fan of the Judd Apatow posse yet? The guys who gave you The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and the upcoming Superbad? Well, good news. Some early reports are out on The Pineapple Express, and they’re pretty positive. Produced by Apatow, written by Seth Rogen, and directed by David Gordon Green (!?!), the action comedy focuses on a stoner (Rogen) and a weed dealer (James Franco) who have to go on the run when they come across some crooked cops. Also on board are Gary Cole, Rosie Perez, Amber Heard, and James Remar.

Yes, David Gordon Green (the young man who gave you All the Real Girls and Undertow) is now directing a stoner action comedy. Awesome.

Apparently there were some early test screenings last night, and AICN has some of the reactions. I just did some quick-scanning, but here’s a few snippets:

A horror film’s on-again, off-again journey to a release date is on again, but its young makers are wiser to the process.

Just hours after All the Boys Love Mandy Lane had its debut screening at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, the movie’s makers were sitting on top of the independent film mountain. In an all-night negotiating session following Mandy Lane’s first showing, Harvey Weinstein purchased the low-budget teen thriller for $3.5 million, promising to release it on at least 800 screens.

But like the underage victims in the film, Mandy Lane immediately went missing.

Nearly a year after its Toronto debut, the movie hasn’t reached theaters. But what would have been essentially a direct-to-video release was averted at the last minute, and the film now is scheduled to arrive at the multiplex in early 2008. Though it won the brief but spirited bidding war, the Weinstein Co. no longer owns the film’s U.S. rights, having sold them to a new German-backed distribution company.

The rise, fall and potential resurrection of Mandy Lane offers a primer on the wild swings of independent filmmaking, in which you can be a film festival favorite one day, the victim of a poor test screening the next, and then wake up in the hands of a new, untested distributor.
