ANNETTE BENING AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HER

Annette Bening must be the breadwinner in her family because we never see her husband Warren Beatty onscreen any more. She LOOKS like she’s ready to tune up a car or report for factory work in the overalls she’s wearing above. Actually she’s filming a new movie “20th Century Women” and it looks like a real winner. Mike Mills, who wrote and directed the sensitive and funny “Beginners” with Ewan McGregor, wrote and is directing this story about “women he knew growing up.” It’s the story of three diverse women exploring new freedoms and the beginning of the punk era in 1979 California, and it stars Annette, Greta Gerwig and Elle Fanning. We LOVE movies about women.

ELLE FANNING AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE

The last time you saw Elle Fanning, 16, was probably in Maleficent where she played the angelic blonde Princess Aurora. She’s currently filming “Three Generations” with Naomi Watts and Susan Sarandon – it’s about a family adjusting to Elle’s character transitioning from a teenage girl to a teenage boy. Her mother played by Watts, and her grandmother played by Sarandon, struggle to reconcile to the idea. Elle was photographed on the set in short hair and a suit. Somehow she reminds us of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening’s transitioning daughter.

IS TOM CRUISE SHORTER THAN A 13 YEAR OLD?

Okay, we just love stories about actors with lifts in their shoes. Tom Cruise wore his custom (and highly suspicious) black boots to the Super 8 premier, but he should watch out whom he stands next to. Elle Fanning appears taller than Tom and she’s only 13! Of course she’s wearing platforms, and we’re not certain just how many inches Tom adds with his boots, but if he’d kept a distance from Elle, this speculation wouldn’t have happened at all.
