Amanda Seyfried

YOU CAN put Tattle face-up on the dining room table today. There are no Tiger Woods stories. Our favorite Allentown actress, Amanda Seyfried ("Mamma Mia" and the upcoming "Dear John" and "Chloe"), will be leaving the HBO series "Big Love" to become a full-time movie star. "She's been exploring her movie career for a couple of years now, and we've been giving her a lot of room to do that," "Big Love" creator Will Scheffer told TV Guide. "I know having a commitment to a show for six months definitely cuts into her ability to pursue that career.

Atom Egoyan's "Chloe" put me in mind of "Knocked Up," a movie that it in no way resembles. The Apatow movie was on my mind because some of its characters attempted to create a Web site that would enable users to go directly to nude scenes in obscure movies featuring famous stars. The men were chagrined to find that such a site already existed - bad news for them, but good news to those who, years from now, want to know where to find a very nice makeout scene featuring Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore.

"I know what and who I feel most connected to," says the spirited star of HBO's Big Love and the new film Dear John.

Here's something they don't teach you in acting school. When you're making a movie and running for your life, you need to look like it. You need to go all out, eyes wild with fear, arms flailing.

Try not to look like Robert Redford in The Natural - guarded, scared of falling, an old man pretending to run with a young man's abandon.

PARK CITY, Utah - The Sundance Film Festival prides itself on independent and personal filmmaking, but no movie in this year's lineup felt as intimate as Mark Webber's The End of Love . His second feature as a director was shot in his Los Angeles home with several friends playing versions of themselves. It presents Webber as the single father of a 2-year-old boy portrayed by Webber's own son, Isaac Love.

THE SUNDANCE Film Festival announced its in-competition films for the 2012 fest and Philly is repped quite nicely (and we're not just talking about "Filly Brown," the story of a Hispanic girl rising through the ranks of the hip-hop elite).
