THE BROTHERS SKARSGARD PLAY DIFFERENT KINDS OF MONSTERS

It’s funny that Bill Skarsgard (above right) is starring in the number one movie in the country and he can walk down the street in New York with his equally famous brother Alexander, and no one bats an eye! (except for one savvy paparazzo) Bill, 29, plays the demented clown Pennywise in It Chapter Two, and Alexander, of course, played Nicole Kidman’s violent and abusive husband in Big Little Lies. Both of the Swedish brothers are 6’4” and Bill has special monster skills: he has two lazy eyes and can contort his mouth in a surprising manner, which helped land him the role. It Chapter Two was SO gruesome that we actually left early, but horror fans can’t get enough of it.

ELLEN PAGE FOOLED US, DIDN’T SHE?

Since she appeared in Juno, Ellen Page’s sexual preference has been a huge topic of speculation on the web. She ‘s always had a tomboyish, sporty, and decidedly unglamorous air about her. Is she gay or bisexual or neither? Is she deep in the closet? Turns out she’s Canadian. Actually she fooled us all – her “secret” is the hunky boyfriend she kept under wraps for a year! Ellen, 26, and her “The East” costar Alexander Skarsgard, 36, have been together since they finished the movie over a year ago!

If you’re wondering how Rihanna landed a role in the two hundred million dollar sci-fi movie “Battleship” with Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgard, director Peter Berg explained it all to Vogue. (The movie is about a fleet of ships forced into battling an armada of warships from unknown origins) Berg said he loved her performance on SNL last year and he wanted someone who could be funny and tough at the same time. (It sounds like she got Michelle Rodriguez’s part) It wasn’t easy – Rihanna had to sit behind a machine gun in an inflatable raft in seven foot swells for six hours at a time. Fortunately, Rihanna loves the ocean and had no trouble doing the stunts.
