      Jodie Dumps 15-Year Partner for New Gal

      Jodie Foster has traded in Cydney Bernard—her slightly frumpy, older stay-at-home lesbian partner of 15 years—for a younger hotshot screenwriter, the Daily Mail reports. The 45-year-old Oscar-winner met Cynthia Mort two years ago on a movie set and their families became fast friends. More »

      Nim's Island a Little Too Busy

      The spectacular scenery in Nim's Island impressed the critics, as did the film's focus on the pluck and intelligence of its young heroine (Abigail Breslin). Multiple storylines, however —about Nim's life in a Pacific paradise, her lost-at-sea father, and her relationship with an agoraphobic writer (Jodie Foster)—end up "diluting its assets," writes Carrie Rickey in the Philadelphia Inquirer .  More »

      Hollywood Is 'Like Al-Qaeda,' says Everett

      The fact that Jodie Foster finally came out of the closet last week doesn't mean Hollywood is getting more tolerant of gay actors, British actor Rupert Everett fumed in an interview in the Times of London. "It's the opposite," he said. "She is 45 and she just couldn't be bothered anymore. Before that it would have killed her career." Everett said Hollywood is no more open minded than al-Qaeda or the Taliban. More »

    • Why Jodie Foster Finally Stepped 'Out'

      Why Jodie Foster Finally Stepped 'Out'

      Jodie Foster’s tentative move out of the closet, at an awards show last week, may be the work of an old friend who, rumor has it, may be the father of her children, the Daily Mail reports. Foster  thanked her live-in partner Cydney Bernard—calling her “my beautiful Cydney”—to fulfill a promise to gay director Randy Stone, the Mail says, an old friend who died in February, after making Foster promise to come out.

      Jodie Hits #1 With a Bullet

      Jodie Foster's The Brave One ranked number one with a bullet this weekend at $13.5 million, although it failed to meet studio expectations, reports Deadline Hollywood Daily. Critic Nikki Finke laments the film's reviews and marketing, but applauds Foster as a rare actress able to open a hit movie. Taking second and third this week were 3:10 to Yuma and Mr. Woodcock , starring Billy Bob Thornton. More »

      '70s Vigilantes Take '07 in Hands

      Our era of economic upheaval and political powerlessness mirrors that of the 1970s, and now we’re getting our own silver screen vigilantes to clean up the mess. Everyman killers like Taxi Driver’ s Travis Bickle took action when the system wouldn’t, says Slate , and this season “vengeance is back with, well, a vengeance.” More »
