Women are making strides toward parity in the film business but there’s much more progress to be made, panelists at the Kering Women in Motion talk said Saturday.
While women are gaining more visibility on-screen — 40% of movies were led or co-led by females in 2018, according to USC professor Stacy L. Smith – behind the scenes the figures are more dismal for women in key filmmaking roles. Marvel may have hired “The Rider” director Chloe Zhao for “The Eternals,” but overall, bigger-budgeted films are being helmed by men.
“When money moves in, women are pushed out. Women aren’t projected into leadership roles, and when they are, they are punished more harshly,” Smith said at the talk moderated by Variety editor-in-chief Claudia Eller.
The numbers are even more daunting for female minority directors. According to USC research released earlier this year, only seven of the 46 women working across the 1,200 most popular...

Not only did she chop off her luscious locks, but Vanessa Hudgens put on 10 pounds for her tough girl role in her upcoming film ‘Gimme Shelter’!
While her new boyfriend is mad at work on The Hunger Games, former Disney darling Vanessa Hudgens has been busy shooting the drama Gimme Shelter — and her new pixie hair cut isn’t the only physical change she had to make for the role.
The 22-year-old actress, who plays a homeless girl in the film, was also required to pack on 10 extra pounds — which is no small number for her 5’3″ frame.
“The walk, the talk … it was a completely new person. I really did look like a boy,” Vanessa told People at Neutrogena’s Wave for Change event in Los Angeles July 18. “Not to mention the places we were filming. We were in the grimiest, dirtiest places, and I was fighting every day, being fought,...

Did you spend all your money on summer clothes, but want a star’s body? Try this simple (and free) park workout!
If you’re like me, the last thing you want is to spend your hard-earned money on a gym membership. Luckily, the weather in the summer is perfect for using the great “outdoors” as your fancy gym. All you need for a workout fit for the stars is 15-45 minutes, some workout clothes and — if you’re ambitious — a jump rope!
In addition to some new cardio moves, this week I also focused on heart rate. You always hear about “target heart rate” zones, but did you realize if you push too hard — or not enough — you’ll not burn the maximum amount of fat? Since I wasn’t on a machine that could help me count my heart rate, I...

After a long wait, Demi Lovato’s ‘Skyscraper’ music video premiered July 13 — and it totally lives up to our expectations!
Demi Lovato isn’t backing down to the pressures of the world and her new video for her single, “Skyscraper,” proves it.

At one point, we even see her cross tattoo on her wrist. Unlike so many videos with tons of costume changes and different scenes, Demi kept “Skyscraper” simple — and it totally works.
“For me it was…so symbolic, it being the song I recorded before treatment and yet it was providing a message,” Demi told Ryan Seacrest. “It’s so crazy the way things played out, that it ended up being my...

In a recent interview, ‘Harry Potter’ actor Daniel Radcliffe made an off-handed comment about actors and music. Do You think he was being rude?
Despite being a musically gifted stage performer (who’s currently starring in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying on Broadway), don’t expect to see Harry Potter‘s Daniel Radcliffe joining a band anytime soon like Twilight star Robert Pattinson. He thinks it’s lame!
In an interview with USA Weekend promoting the final Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Daniel, 21, laughed off the idea of putting his musical talents to use outside of acting. ”Nobody wants to see actors in bands, just like we don’t want to see musicians in films,” the actor said.

The eldest Kardashian daughter has been excitedly tweeting about the Nicole by Opi line that the Kardashian ladies are about to unveil.
Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian all helped to develop the shades in the collection and Kourtney is even wearing one of the colors right now! She tweeted the above photos of an ad for the line and her hand painted in one of the shades, saying, “One of my fab new nail polish colors from @nicolebyOPI. Coming soon…divine right?!”
It looks good to me! Kourtney kept it up, asking her followers, “Can you guess one of my Nicole By Opi color names?”
If I had to take a guess … something that starts with a “K”?

Former ‘American Idol’ contestant Pia Toscano released her first single, ‘This Time,’ on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show July 11 — and we love it!
Pia Toscano may have been prematurely kicked off American Idol last season, but after hearing her first single, we think she’ll have a lasting career in the music world. The 22-year-old singer debuted her new song, “This Time,” on Ryan Seacrest‘s Kiis FM radio show July 11 — and it’s super catchy!
Written by Ester Dean (who’s best known for hits like “S&M,” “Rude Boy” and “What’s My Name), “This Time” is a song about a girl who’s ready to take her life back after what sounds to be a nasty, never ending breakup. It’s Pia’s first single since signing onto Jimmy Lovine‘s label, Interscope Records and will be released on iTunes July 12.
“I am thrilled to be joining the Interscope and 19 Recordings family.
