From Disney darling to Academy Award winner, Brie Larson has carved a unique path in Hollywood. At just 30 years old, she has already acted in various movies, from small independent ones to big blockbusters. She even tried her hand at directing, with projects such as The Arm (2012), Weighting (2013), Unicorn Store (2017), The Dew Project (2021).
Her latest movie is The Marvels, in which she played Captain Marvel again. However, it didn’t perform well, partly due to criticism from fans who disliked the story or the villain. Negative reviews further compounded the issue, and there were problems with promoting the movie because of actor strikes.

Talking about the upcoming season of "Gossip Girl", Leighton Meester has shared what she has in mind over the relationship between Blair and Chuck. Asked by MTV News whether the TV couple really are over, the actress who stars as Blair in the series teased, "I think Blair has done some healing, but not entirely. She definitely she has a flame burning for Chuck. Who wouldn't?"
Met on the set of "Monte Carlo", the 24-year-old also weighed in on whether right now is the right time for Chuck to date a new girl. "I am a fan, which sounds ridiculous, of Chuck and Blair," she responded. "I love their relationship, and I really love working with Ed, which is what it probably boils down to. But yeah, I think maybe there needed to be some sort of break in their relationship and some sort of drama."

The bland and forgettable, but completely typical 'young woman' Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) and the far more interesting Amber Heard (All The Boys Love Mandy Lane) are set to star in a remake of the feminist (actually, anti-feminist) 1991 movie Thelma And Louise which starred Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis as two out-of-their-effing-minds women on the run from the law because evil men had opressed them.
But hold on. Jessica Manafort is attached to direct. But hold on again. It will be called Cowgirl Bandits. Whose effing name is 'Leighton', anyway? I know what this is. This is a younger, hipper version of the film, because who wants to look at women over 30? Not men, that's who not!...
Heard starred in Manafort's 2007 comedy Remember the Daze, which Manafort also wrote, revolved around the relationship dynamics of a group of suburban teens on the last day of school in 1999. Yay women director.

It looks like we're getting a newish Thelma & Louise. Over at Production Weekly's wonderfully brief Twitter feed, they report: "Amber Heard & Leighton Meester attached to star in Cowgirl Bandits a young version of Thelma & Louise, with Jessica Manafort to direct." Manafort has worked with both actresses before on her 2007 film, The Beautiful Ordinary, which focused on teens and their last day of high school. But this is a whole different corral.
Personally, I'm wondering if these are just some slow-moving bandits. Back in March of 2007, we learned about a new project called The Uncatchable Cowgirl Bandits of Nottingham, Texas. The film was said to zero in on some cowgirls who are also bank robbers. But they don't rob just any bank -- they "steal from a number of branches of a bank that are threatening their community and corrupting town leaders." Pw has since confirmed that this is the same movie,...

It’s like somebody saw the definition of hotness and decided to make a movie about it.
Amber Heard and Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester will team up for Cowgirl Bandits. Though details are few and far between, the duo will probably play bandits…who are also cowgirls. The story is being pitched a “young Themla & Louise.”
The project will be directed by Jess Manafort, who directed Remember the Daze which starred both actresses in 2007.
Amber Heard can be seen in the latest horror retread, The Stepfather, where she plays somebody who presumably gets stabbed. Possibly twice.

When you hear "a young version of Thelma and Louise," shouldn't you just think of the original, actual Thelma and Louise? First of all, Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon weren't exactly over the hill in that movie, and second, it's a classic that shouldn't be messed with. Period. But of course, that's never the end of anything. According to Production Weekly, Amber Heard and Leighton Meester will be starring in Cowgirl Bandits, a, yes, "young version of Thelma and Louise." Jess Manafort, who previously directed Heard in a movie I have never heard of, The Beautiful Ordinary, will direct her in this one as well. It sounds like it's not actually a remake of Thelma and Louise, just a story about women traveling around and doing illegal stuff, which therefore means it must be compared to the first movie. It's hard to get away with calling yourself a new Thelma...

Good news, Leighton Meester fans! Production Weekly reports that the Gossip Girl beauty has signed on to co-star in the upcoming movie Cowgirl Bandits, alongside Pineapple Express actress Amber Heard (who stars as the female lead in the upcoming Johnny Depp movie The Rum Diary). The film is described as "a young version of Thelma & Louise," so expect a lot of girls-behaving-badly action. Jess Manafort, who worked with Heard on 2007's The Beautiful Ordinary, is set to direct. Let us know in the comments section: Do you think Leighton will be believable as an outlaw?...

No matter what your thoughts about Michael Jackson are, no one can deny that the man was a legend in his own right. Dubbed the King of Pop, the iconic Michael Jackson has been entertaining the world since the 1960s. He was a director, a composer, a musician, a singer, a dancer, an actor, a producer, and most importantly, the inspiration to countless millions. The word "triple threat" does not even begin to describe the often misunderstood superstar. On August 29 of this year, Michael would have been celebrating his 51st birthday. Sadly, Michael Jackson passed away today at the age of 50, but he leaves us with a half-century of genuine compassion and good deeds that have helped to shape the world we now live in. The Life of Michael Jackson Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana (an industrialized suburb of Chicago) in 1958. He inherited his musical gene from his father,...
