Jeremy Renner @ Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker

Director Kathryn Bigelow returns with The Hurt Locker enlisting talented actor Jeremy Renner, whom I've kept an eye on since his impressive indie debut as 'Jeffrey Dahmer' in Dahmer after his folly performance as 'Dags' in National Lampoon's Senior Trip. And of course, anything by Ms. Bigelow for me is a must-see and The Hurt Locker trailer below has me salivating before its theatrical release date of June 26.



When a new sergeant - Jeremy Renner's Staff Sgt. William James - takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates: Anthony Mackie's Sgt. J.T. Sanborn and Brian Geraghty's Specialist Owen Eldridge by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.

Zac Efron Humps GQ

High School Musical star Zac Efron is taking his craft [as an actor] seriously by tackling new challenging roles in directors Burr Steers' 17 Again and Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles. Pixer Peggy Sirota shoots Efron for GQ May 2009 issue, which hits newsstands on Tuesday and Efron's 17 Again rolls into theaters on Friday, April 17. Here are excerpts from Efron's telling interview:



On being part of community theater: It was the worst possible thing you could do in high school. Kids who are in musical theater tend to be self-confident in a quirky kind of way, and when kids who are really self-conscious see somebody doing that kind of thing, they try to bring them down. I used to do random things, man. When I was a kid? I dyed my hair silver, to look like Sisqó in the 'Thong Song' video. I just didn’t give a f—. I didn't care.



On why he tackled 17 Again role: It's very transitional, y'know? I didn't wanna alienate the fans that had been around for so long. The fans, who’ve been around for so many years.



On false news that he wears false eyelashes: If somebody can find any photo that shows me wearing false eyelashes, I will give them a f—ing million dollars. That's bulls—. (pauses) You know what, dude? A couple of times, when I was young, and I didn't know what the f*** I was doing—it's just what happens. Somebody's there, and it's their job. And they load you up with makeup. They don't do the girlie thing, but they, y'know, cover your zits. It didn't come from a self-conscious place—it was just what everyone did. And since then, people just constantly think I'm wearing makeup. It's a recurring theme. But f***, man. I have never worn false eyelashes in my entire life. (blinks a couple of times) That's all me.”



On stupid reports that he's getting married: That was such bull***. I'm definitely not getting married. In this business, you're either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I'm not getting married until I'm 40. If ever. The thought never crossed my mind.


Peggy Sirota

On show-business: It's crazy, all the stuff that happens down there. It's the American dream. I mean, it's beautiful. But it's so f—ed up. Up here, everything's green. And down there, it's crazy.

On motherhood: Having a baby takes so much from you. It's the most glorious thing you'll ever do, but the aftermath is not so glorious! So now I’m having to exercise, eat a little bit differently.
