James McAvoy to Play Professor X in X-Men: First Class

James McAvoy has been tapped to play the role of a young Charles Xavier – Professor X, in X-Men: First Class.

The film will center around “the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were the closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.”

The film is set for a June 3, 2011 release.

Tom Cruise: Esquire Magazine June 2010

Tom Cruise is all smiles on the June cover of Esquire magazine. Here’s what the 47-year-old actor opened up about:

On jumping on the couch on Oprah: “What happened, happened… I wanted the audience to be happy just like I wanted to make my sisters and my mother happy when I did those skits as a kid. But I’ll take responsibility for my actions… Afterward, wild things were being said about me, and once they’re in the ether, there’s nothing you can do about it. It felt like being the new kid in the schoolyard again and the other kids are whispering and whispering about you and suddenly you hear what they’re saying, and you think, What? That didn’t happen. Look at the reality of the situation.”

On his wife Katie Holmes: “Because we do live in a cynical world. It’s easy to be cynical. Making the choice not to be cynical is important. You can keep dwelling on what didn’t work, or you can figure out how to fix it. Which is what being a parent is all about. You know, I’m married to such a special woman. Every night before we go to sleep, Kate and I look at each other and it’s like, How’d we do today?”

On his daughter Suri Cruise: “It’s come full circle. Now I’ll put Suri on a swing and tell her stories when I’m working on a script. I’ll start with the beginning of the movie and take her through the story beat by beat. Of course, I make it age-appropriate. She’s four years old. But she asks all the right questions: Why does that happen? Those are the bad guys? You’re the good guy, right?”

NYGossipGirl Exclusive Interview: Ari Graynor

NYGossipGirl caught up with Ari Graynor at the premiere of her new film Holy Rollers.

The film centers around a young man from an Orthodox Jewish community who is lured into becoming an Ecstasy dealer by his pal who has ties to an Israel drug cartel.

Graynor plays the dealer’s girlfriend.

The 27-year-old actress previously starred in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and Whip It!

Here’s what she shared:

NYGG: Who are you wearing? You look beautiful.

Graynor: It’s vintage! And Jimmy Choo shoes my boyfriend gave me for my birthday.

NYGG: What made you want to play this character. How did the process come about?

Graynor: I just thought that it was such a unique story. It was told from a great point of view. I’m more drawn to characters that are partaking from outside questionable choices and figuring out why they’re doing it and I just liked her being in this role of drugs and partying and feeling this connection to somebody who’s so into his faith and so different from all of the other people in her life. She’s just trying to find herself and it was an exciting challenge.

NYGG: You did a lot of comedy films before and this film is definitely more dramatic.

Graynor: Yeah, once Nick and Norah came out, it was like everyone forgot about those 15 years of work before that [laughs]. I did a lot of dramatic stuff before that. But that’s what so great about this and I have Betty Anne Waters coming out, which is also a drama.

NYGG: Are you writing any of your own scripts?

Graynor: You know what, I’m trying to get some ideas sorted out in my mind, so I’m thinking about it, but nothing concrete yet.

NYGG: Is there someone that you want to work with that you haven’t?

Graynor: I would love to work with Spike Jonze, that would be a dream.
