Los Angeles, CA :: Chris Klien, 27, has finally moved on from ex-girlfriend Katie Holmes. (Chris Klein and Katie Holmes ended their five-year relationship and called off their engagement back in March 2005.)  Chris proudly showed off a pair of hickeys on his neck as he went grocery shopping with his new girlfriend in the Valley yesterday afternoon.  Last year, Chris gave an interview to Elle boasting, "I don’t need food to impress, man. It’s a flash of a smile and a nice conversation. And at the end of the day, she’s cooking the food." He also described himself as an "alpha heterosexual who only dates 8 to 10’s."  Well, you be the judge.  Is Chris Klein dating an 8 to 10?

Elijah Wood – with a clean pate – confers with costar Chris Klein on the New York City set of their film Day Zero recently. In the drama, Wood’s one of three friends caught up in a military draft.

Since y’all had such a field day with the last Elijah Wood post (almost 200 comments!), I thought I’d share these recent Elijah Wood, 25, pictures and a hilarious quote made by him — "I was in [an elevator] with a stranger who was working up the courage to say something.  He goes, "Harry Potter?"  I said, "Nope."  That was all we aid for the rest of the ride."  If you missed the last episode of Punk’d, don’t sweat it, I’ve got you covered.  Watch the video of Elijah Wood getting Punk’d below!  More pictures in the gallery!

Paris, je t’aime

(Paris, I Love You)

Paris, je t’aime is about the plurality of cinema in one mythic location: Paris, the City of Love. Twenty filmmakers will bring their own personal touch, underlining the wide variety of styles, genres, encounters and the various atmospheres and lifestyles that prevail in the neighborhoods of Paris. Each director has been given five minutes of freedom, and we, as producers, carry the responsibility of weaving a single narrative unit out of those twenty moments. The 20 films will not appear in the order of the arrondissements, from one to twenty, but rather, in a pertinent narrative order, initially unknown to the audience. They will be fused together by transitional interstitial sequences, and also via the introduction and epilogue sequences of the feature film. Each transition will begin with the last shot of the previous film and will end with the first shot of the following film, and will have a threefold function: 1) The first is to extend the enchantment and the emotion of the previous segment, 2) The second is to prepare the audience for the surprise of the next segment, and 3) The third is to provide a general, comfortable and cohesive atmosphere to the feature film. The delightful and brief interludes of these transitions will enable the viewer to slide from one world to the next, featuring a recurring and unexpected character. This mysterious character is a witness to the Parisian life and helps create a continuous narration. It appears both in and in-between the films. In addition to the information these transitions will provide about the city and its people, their tone will be intentionally light often referring to famous scenes easily attributed to the history of Paris cinema. Similar specifications will be followed by the composer who will supervise the musical fusion between the films and the transitions as he creates the musical score of Paris, je t’aime. Considering the common theme of Paris and Love, the fusion between the films and the transitions, the fast pace of a fluid and complete storytelling, Paris, je t’aime will not be just another "anthology" picture. It will be a unique collective feature film that will constitute a two-hour cinematographic spectacle whose original structure will make for a dramatically different experience for its global audience.
