What was this? Bury yourself in a dress day? Wondering if eva amurri had something done to her face. She used to have much rounder face and her eyes really used to pop out more. Anyone else? I mean she looks fine, but i miss the old face.
Did Nia Vardalos just do an eightball all by herself? Crazy eyes, bad hair, wrong purse. The only thing she did right was not wear Zooey Dechanel's sausage leg tights.
At first it seemed like the theme was blue/red. Then the Angie Harmon picture, is she pregnant? If so I don't get those heels. James VDB wife is such a lovely girl, she needs a dress to accentuate her figure. That last dress is a big fat WHY? It's an optical illusion.
@Reno. JVDB's wife had a baby a few months ago. Unless she's pregnant again I think she's still carrying a bit of baby weight. Not knocking, just saying.
I was gonna say something about Nia's eyes but everyone beat me to it. And thanks for answering the question about Angie being pregnant. The Zooey looks good there.
Between her post-greek wedding eye job and the adderall, it's amazing that Nia Vardalos' eyeballs haven't shriveled up.
Tara - Yes. I watched it. I'll never get that time back. I know I could've stopped it at any point I but... something in me made me keep watching the whole. damned. thing. Trainwreck.
Are Peter Facinelli's legs as short as they look in that photo?
Whenever I think of Nia Vardalos I wonder about her relationship with Tom Hanks and his wife. I understand they Executive Produced her movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and they paid her peanuts. It's one of the highest grossing movies of all time - $369 million world-wide on a budget of $5 million.
Rita Wilson is half Greek.
OK, more details about the profit distribution (from an article about a lawsuit):
"Vardalos' contract stipulates an 8% participation in adjusted gross profits, while the other three plaintiffs [Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Gary Goetzman] are owed one-third each of the net balance remaining after backend disbursements, according to the lawsuit, filed Monday."
So is 8% of adjusted gross profits better than or worse than 33-1/3% of "net balance remaining after backend disbursements?"
And roughly how much of the box office gross would be "adjusted gross profits?"
I haven't worn th since high school in 94 but this is a zoey. Design capsule collection for Tommy and the dresses look cute. I would get some of these.
Principessa... With easy math, you are figuring that Nia got about $30mil, while the other three plaintiffs got about $100mil- each. I'd take the $100m, if give a choice but not cry I entered a deal expecting to hopefully get paid and then take home a big fat chunk of change to the tune of tens of millions, because my lil project surpassed everyone's wildest dreams and became one of Higjest grossing in history. Of course, studios have funny math that strips the life out of profits by expensing everything under the sun and more, so who knows the exact dollars. No matter what, though, everyone made BANK.
@PS thanks but I don't think it's that easy. For example, the movie grossed over $300 million worldwide, but that's box office take. From what I've read, the studio gets a big chunk of that upfront with blockbusters, then over time the studio's share decreases and the individual theater owner's share increases. So the part of that $300 million pie that is available to the producers is already "only" about $150 to $200 million. Then you've got production, advertising and distribution costs, and that's probably where a lot of the funny math comes in. Various sites say it cost $5 million to produce, or $23 million (the latter is probably with advertising and distribution costs included).
When the lawsuit was filed in 2007 by Nia Vardalos, Tom Hanks and his wife and one other guy, the defendant responded by saying they had already distributed $44 million to the four of them.
They clearly thought that was too low, and wanted an accounting.
Interestingly, they dropped the lawsuit the next year. Maybe the studio gave them a lump sum buyout, I dunno. But from what I read, they didn't settle, they just dropped it.
The thing is, with the funny math, maybe Nia's 8% of X was better than Tom Hanks's 33-1/3% of Y. I dunno.
But your basic point is well taken - without Hanks and his wife stepping in to vouch for it, it never would have become the blockbuster it was ... and even if she only got $10 million that's still $10 million more than she had any hope of before the movie got made!
Is it Zooey or Tommy's line?
ReplyDeleteZoiey is one of the best dressed of this batch.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who Greta Gerwig is but she seems to have a nice rack.
Nice outfits Eva and Facinelli :(
Why is Eva Amurri pulling away from her husband so much? Awkward.
ReplyDeleteAnd did these people all get dressed in the dark? They look terrible and I am no fashionista by any means. Ugh
JVDB - shoes and no socks? Really? Really?
ReplyDeleteThat's not Greta Getwig, I think it's Ari Graynor.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Morrison looks drunk.
Nia Greeklastname has crazy eyes.
Thats not Greta Gerwig...unless she did something major to her face and height.

ReplyDeleteNia Vardalos has no feet. She seems shocked about it, too.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen Nia Vardalos's second romcom with John Corbett? It's on Netflix and one of the worst, weirdest movies I've ever seen. WOW. - TG
ReplyDeleteAt first it seemed like the theme was blue/red.
ReplyDeleteThen the Angie Harmon picture, is she pregnant? If so I don't get those heels.
James VDB wife is such a lovely girl, she needs a dress to accentuate her figure.
That last dress is a big fat WHY?
It's an optical illusion.
Vardalos has always same expression on her face. doh..
ReplyDeleteI would watch anything with John Corbett. He's so yummy.
ReplyDeleteI like the Zooey's outfit. Jennifer Morrison, yikes.
Nia's picture, double yikes!
What the fuck is up with Kate's arm?
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S DEF NOT GRETA GERWIG
ReplyDeleteScrew that, where are Nia's feet?
ReplyDeleteIs this Random Photos "missing limbs" version?
She don't need no stiiiiiinking feet...pun intended
DeleteWhoever Hannah Simone is, apparently this is her too.
ReplyDeleteGreta Gerwig taking a bath with her trumpet.
Angie Harmon and her lovely bum.
Jennifer Morrison putting her hands in the air.
Nia Valdaros rolling around on my floor.
Nia always seems to have crazy eyes. Maybe something is off with her eyes, because she always comes across as a little cross eyed.
ReplyDeleteTotally weird pic of Baby Sarandon and her hubby.
@Bacon JVB's wife is pregnant. I guess that's why she's dressed that way?
ReplyDeleteZooey looks great. Hannah Simone does too. Love those gals.
The VDB's look a million kinds of awkward and Peter Facciblahblah continues to look like a total douche.
ReplyDelete@Reno. JVDB's wife had a baby a few months ago. Unless she's pregnant again I think she's still carrying a bit of baby weight. Not knocking, just saying.

Nia Vardalos is levitating! Burn the witch!
ReplyDeleteBased on Harry's link that definitely isnt Greta Gerwig in that pic. still has a nice rack much better than what Greta seems to have.
ReplyDeleteNot Greta Gerwig as everyone has already stated.
ReplyDeleteIt's Ari Graynor.
That looks nothing like Greta Gerwig. It's not her.
ReplyDeleteIs Angie Harmon preggers?
ReplyDeleteDo people even wear Tommy Hilfiger anymore?
ReplyDeleteI have a set of Tommy Hilfinger bath towels that aren't any good but I bought them at Ross Dress for Less so they didn't break me.
ReplyDeleteAre Peter Facinelli's legs as short as they look in that photo?

Angie Harmon is pregnant?
ReplyDeleteI wore stilettos until I walked into the delivery room, both pregnancies, so Angie being pregnant is not out of the question.
ReplyDeletewhy does everyone have a clothing line now??????
ReplyDeletewhy?
god. this clothing line is hideous.
ReplyDeleteZooey's line looks like a collection of Hawaiian Air stewardess uniforms from 1963.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stand Zooey, but I love the new Tommy line of retro Americana stuff.
