Brave Teaser: Meet Pixar's First Leading Lady

While Cars 2 has just been released, Pixar is already prepping us for their next animated adventure.

While Cars 2 has just been released, Pixar is already prepping us for their next animated adventure. In Brave, we meet Pixar's very first leading lady in Merida, a flame-haired princess who is more interested in honing her archery skills than settling down and getting married. Thus begins a foray into the woods with her horse, and from the looks of this first teaser, a lot more than that. Grey's Anatomy's Kevin McKidd provides the narrative as we meet our heroine for the first time and watch her encounter a bear. This preview doesn't tell too much of the story, but we can see that the fairy tale will be beautiful — and a bit dark.

Check it out and tell us how you feel about it when you read more.

Anne Hathaway Talks Oscars and Her Ex in Harper's Bazaar

Anne Hathaway graces the cover of August's US Harper's Bazaar in a gorgeous red gown. The actress is kicking off promotions for One Day, and she posed for a striking spread with photographer Alexi Lubomirski and also sat down to chat about her recent Oscars hosting gig and the men in her life. Anne is still going strong with boyfriend Adam Shulman, saying of their relationship, "so far, it's worked out great," but she also touched on why things ended with her ex Raffaello Follieri. Here is more of what Anne said:

  • On hosting the Oscars: "I let James know that a whirling dervish is a more flattering comparison than a Tasmanian devil. I called him, and we emailed a bit. In the grand scheme of things, I got to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I met great people, wore beautiful clothes. And I got to put on a show. I don't see a downside. Anyone who disliked my personality probably disliked my personality before the Oscars."
  • On her relationship with Raffaello Follieri: "There's something very addictive about people pleasing, it's a thought pattern and a habit that feels really, really good until it becomes desperate. It's one of the reasons that relationship ended. I wasn't able to grow or foster anything."
  • On getting caught up in romance: "Which has its wonderful side, of course, but also it was exhausting, and sometimes it would freak me out. Mellow doesn't always make for a good story, but it makes for a good life."

Todd McKenney Continues to Criticise Lara Bingle Post-DWTS

Lara Bingle was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars on Sunday night after some tough criticism from the judges, but it seems like Todd McKenney still has plenty of things to say about her — and not about her dancing skills.

Lara Bingle was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars on Sunday night after some tough criticism from the judges, but it seems like Todd McKenney still has plenty of things to say about her — and not about her dancing skills. After calling the model “dull” on Sunday’s show and saying she lacked “X factor,” Todd has gone on to tell the Daily Telegraph, “Poor thing came on the show not expecting to be criticised. But, unfortunately for her, that’s what the show is about . . . We, as judges, are there to offer the dancers constructive criticism, peppered with a bit of humour. To be honest I don’t think Lara is bright enough to understand that.” His comment adds to a group of controversial quotes from this year’s series, which was kicked off with new judge Josh Horner saying Brynne Edelsten “looked like a bedazzled sack of potatoes rolling down the floor.” What do you think about Todd’s latest comments? Has he gone too far?
