REEL DEAL" Adam Levine Makes Film Debut In "BEGIN AGAIN"

Although he’s no stranger to the camera, having been a coach on the NBC show “The Voice” for several seasons, and making his small screen acting debut on the hit FX Drama “American Horror Story,” music star ADAM LEVINE has never tried dramatic acting until he was approached by John Carney to be part of the upcoming movie “Begin Again.”

“I was honored just to be asked, and right off the bat I fell in love with the script.  To have John believe in me is really exciting,” says Levine.  “John saw something in me that was this character Dave– whether that is flattering or not, I can’t tell, but I would not have considered doing a film unless I was really connected to the material.  I love John’s tone – he is a musician, and I think his sensibilities are those of a musician so we get along famously.”

Wacky Fun On The Set of "Basta Everyday Happy"

I have been to many set visits and found a similar pattern, but every experience is indeed fun. But it has never been as wacky like the set of GMA's morning show "Basta Everyday Happy" which is a cooking, variety, and talk show in one.  The show is hosted by Donita Rose, Alessandra De Rossi, Gladys Reyes and Chef Boy Logro.

It is interesting that the mix of different mix of hosts for the show, especially when they are known to be part of specific generes of entertainment, like Donita who is known to be a VJ, host and now a mom, Gladys known for her kontrabida roles and also a mom, Alessandra for her acting prowess in drama and comedy, and of course Chef Boy who is "The Kusina Master".

REEL DEAL: Mila Kunis VS James Franco For Child Custody In "Third Person"

Award-winning director Paul Haggis’ latest romantic thriller “Third Person” follows the journeys of three sets of couple at three different stages of a relationship set at the backdrop of Paris, Rome and New York.  The movie’s main character Michael, played by Liam Neeson, a novelist who’d been famous for his previous work has holed himself up in a hotel suite in Paris finishing his latest book.  Within the hotel works a maid named Julia, Mila Kunis’ character – an ex-soap opera actress who was once a frequent guest at the hotel. 

Julia is caught in a custody battle for her 6-year old son with her ex-husband Rick played by James Franco, who is a famous New York artist.   With her support cut off and her legal costs ruinous, Julia’s lawyer Theresa (Maria Bello) has secured Julia one final chance to change the court’s mind and be reunited with the child she loves.     Julia’s sole motivation in life is to gain joint custody of her son but her fragile psychological state and the circumstances of her marriage break-up make that a big challenge.
