Chris Hemsworth & Connor Cruise in new ‘Red Dawn’ clip: offensive or dumb?

---

Like it or not, the ill-fated and unnecessary Red Dawn remake/reboot is on the way and will arrive in theaters on (when else?) Thanksgiving day. This film has actually been years in the making, which would explain why the film’s stars — Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Adrianne Palicki, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and … Connor Cruise — look younger than we’re used to seeing them these days. Obviously, Connor is a very good-looking young man, but we all know that nepotism has at least a fair amount to do with Connor landing a role here. Here’s the remake’s plot summary, which sounds almost indistinguishable from the original (basically, they’ve changed the setting from Colorado to Washington and changed the invading forces from Russians and Cubans to North Koreans), as well as a new clip:

In Red Dawn, a city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky — shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom.

Okay, so Connor doesn’t get much airplay at all in that clip. His role is obviously a supporting one, but he actually had a line (“I can’t“) in this trailer from about a month ago. Check it.

Honestly, the point of this post isn’t to bag on Connor Cruise. I feel bad for the kid (he’s not even a kid anymore) for having such a screwed-up, lift-obsessed father that pulled him into Scientology, so I won’t say much more about him here. What does offend me, however, is that the remake originally cast China as the invading country but then switched the identity of the Chinese soldiers to North Koreans in post-production. Because, you know, all Asians are interchangeable like that, right? Also, how on earth would North Korea ever be able to invade any other country in the first place? It doesn’t make sense, of course, but that’s Hollywood. As much as a clusterf*ck as this movie will probably be, I think Chris Hemworth might be enough of a box office draw to make it a moderately successful blockbuster. We shall see.

Here’s another clip that shows a bit of the ground combat and an ambush on the part of Hemsworth and Hutcherson. Don’t ask me why Hutcherson’s mouth hangs open the entire time he’s shooting a gun.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Hilarie Burton don’t have a nanny for their son Gus

---

A few weeks ago, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and his baby-mama Hilarie Burton walked their first red carpet together in months. Hilarie gave birth to JDM’s son last year, although the whole thing was very hush-hush, and most people didn’t even know Hilarie was pregnant (much less “pregnant with Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s baby”) at the time. The whole thing seems to be a sketchy situation, and I was honestly surprised that JDM and Hilarie were still together, two years after their relationship “overlapped” with JDM’s relationship with Mary-Louise Parker. Anyway, just to add an extra dash of weirdness, JDM and Hilarie refused to even confirm the gender of their baby for more than a year. But now that the kid is 20 months old, Jeffrey is finally talking about him:

It looks like actors Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan aren’t the only ones who can put on a good show. The parents of son Gus, 20 months, admit their “rowdy” baby boy is already giving them a run for their money.

“He learned how to say, ‘No.’ He used to say, ‘I’m done,’ and now he looks at you and says, ‘No!’” Morgan, 45, told PEOPLE during the Twilight: Breaking Dawn premiere on Nov. 14 in Los Angeles.

“It’s like, ‘Gus, can you come here?’ He’s like, ‘No!’”

But, for now, Burton, 29, adds that Gus’s newfound defiance is all fun and games. “He says it with a laugh, like it’s hilarious,” the White Collar star says.

The tight trio recently spent time in Miami Beach as Morgan filmed his new show Magic City and, despite the constant juggling of job and baby, the couple coped — mostly — on their own.

“It’s hard. Between the two of us, we’ve had our hands full. But we’ve managed to do it without any help,” the actor reveals. “We have babysitters now and again, but we don’t have nannies. We wing it, man.”

However, their no-nanny stance hasn’t come without the occasional sacrifice. “This is our second pseudo adult-night out,” he laughs.

“I’m going to say pseudo because I’m not sure if Twilight is an adult night. It’s a night out.”

[From People Magazine]

LMAO at a baby saying “I’m done.” Hey, bad parents – teach your babies how to say “I quit this bitch” next. And then maybe “Kiss my ass.” Anyway, the baby’s name is Gus and Hilarie and Jeffrey are still together and they’re raising the kid together without any nannies, apparently. Do you think this is the truth? I don’t even know. There’s so much weirdness with this couple.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is still with his “secret” baby-mama Hilarie Burton

---

About two years ago, something really sketchy went down with Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He had been dating Mary-Louise Parker and they seemed really tight and really sexy, and then suddenly their relationship seemed to skid out of control. They suddenly became very “off and on” and they finally seemed to end circa fall/winter 2009. MLP quickly found a new piece, who she’s been with ever since. But many people think that the reason JDM and MLP’s relationship got so sketchy so fast was because Jeffrey had some kind of relationship with CW chick Hilarie Burton, and Hilarie got pregnant two seconds into their relationship/affair. Hilarie gave birth to JDM’s son in Spring of 2010, and she walked one red carpet with him shortly after giving birth. The whole “secret baby” thing was real - Hilarie “went into hiding” for months, and she and Jeffrey only confirmed the birth of the kid months later, and even then, Hilarie won’t even confirm the name of their son.

Last night, Hilarie and JDM walked their second red carpet together within a year at the premiere of Breaking Dawn. I guess we’re supposed to think that they’re still together, then. That they’re a happy little family and that she tamed him and his wandering dong? I used to dislike Hilarie on principle, and while I still think she’s a ball of sketchiness, I grew to like her character on White Collar. Whatever, though - it’s so weird to me that Hilarie and JDM are still together, at least publicly. Weird couple.

PS… How f–king good does JDM look in these photos? This man is delicious. Completely random and probably douchey about women, but he’s FINE.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s girlfriend is one of those random CW chicks

---

ARGH! I just now saw that The Losers had its big premiere in LA last night, and I was going to write about the lovely and talented and sexy Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Unfortunately, I got c-ckblocked by this chick, Hilarie Burton. This is Jeffrey’s new girlfriend…? The New York Post says she’s his new girlfriend. At first I was all “oh, she must be some random actress in The Losers, that’s why she’s got her hands all over my boyfriend.” And then I thought, “I don’t like this bitch’s face, or the way she’s touching him.” And then I thought, “I’m going to check her out, see who she is.” Yes, I have the thought process of a deranged stalker, especially when it’s about one of my boyfriends.

So I looked her up - first thing I noticed was her age. She’s 27 years old, 17 years younger than Jeffrey. Ugh. Second thing: she’s one of those totally random CW girls. She was on One Tree Hill. Jeffrey had an on-again, off-again relationship with The Coolness, Mary-Louise Parker. And now he’s with a CW girl? Really?!? Aim higher, Jeffrey.

UPDATE: Jesus, they have a baby together?!? And she just gave birth two seconds ago. My God. He really does keep on the downlow.

Jeffrey also brought his mom. What is it with these huge, manly men and their little tiny mothers? Gerard Butler’s mom is tiny too!

Anyway, I need a palate cleanser after the CW chick. How about some Jason Patrick and Chris Evans? That’s the best I can do from this premiere. They’re both looking pretty cute though:
