Judy Greer talks The Descendants, working with Clooney and being an action star

You may recognize Judy Greer from a multitude of movies and or TV shows. For one, she’s known as that crazy secretary on Arrested Development (we’ll get to that later). You may also recognize her voice as the gossipy Cheryl Tunt on the adults-only cartoon Archer. She also got to creepily whisper the tagline to...

They are quirky, humorous and as clever as the species of the title character of Fantastic Mr. Fox. The...

The real star of the ‘Twilight’ saga

We all love (for the most part) Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart, but the Twilight Saga would be nothing without Anna Kendrick. Kendrick makes it hot on the red carpet in a glitterfied confetti one-shouldered gown by Talbot Runhof at the ‘New Moon’ premiere on Nov. 16 As Jessica in Twilight and New...
