Adrien was on the Martha Stewart show a couple of days ago and they made orange- and cranberry-infused vodka. Mmmmmm. Stick that in the freezer! Then they made Cosmopolitans! Don’t be shy with the vodka, honey. (SeaSpot and I like to go have Cosmos after the movies and dish about Adge.) You can watch the show online (might not be available outside the U.S., sorry! Here’s a shorter version of the Cosmo-mixing on YouTube.)

Would have been nice if Martha let the guy FINISH A SENTENCE SHEESH. But he even offers tips on making one’s own vanilla extract. Somebody’s nesting…

(For the younger folks: Eldin was the name of Murphy Brown’s bearded house painter who never finished on the iconic show.)

In this video, Adrien says the beard is not for a project, he’s just in fixing-up-the-house mode.

The goatee is back!!!

Adrien looked fabulous at the premiere of Cadillac Records last night. I uploaded a couple of photos to the Gallery. It’s always nice to see our Adge smiling and happy!

USAToday had an article about the premiere.

The best part about working for Beyoncé Knowles?

“I got to kiss my boss!” exclaimed Adrien Brody, who stars with Knowles in Cadillac Records. Knowles was also the executive producer for the film, which opens Dec. 5.

Beyonce was executive producer? That explains a lot.

Thanks to my wonderful enabler husband for sending me the ‘Cadillac Records’ offical website link so I can see the new trailer!

Rex Features has stills from ‘Cadillac Records’.  I saw a promo that Cedric the Entertainer will be on Regis today.  Don’t know if he’s promoting the film.  I’ve checked schedules and Adrien isn’t on any talk shows this week or next, but I’ll keep checking.

Michigan radio station WHMI and the Livingston Daily have announced that there will be a casting call for the movie ‘High School’ of local actors/actresses in Howell, near the Detroit area.  Filming will be shot mostly in Howell’s Parker High School.  You may be able to be in a movie with Adrien!

TimesOnLine.com has a movie review of ‘The Brothers Bloom’.  They gave the film three out of five stars.  ‘BB’ was one of the films featured at the London Film Festival.  Here are some other articles from the event.

According to JoBlo.com, Adrien is looking at a ‘Transporter’ type script called ‘The Courier’.  Sounds like an action film of sorts.  Since he’s severed ties with his old agency, it looks like Adrien is getting to pick the projects he’s always wanted to have.  Filming is scheduled to begin in January in Louisiana and Las Vegas.

We finally get a glimpse of what ‘Cadillac Records’ will look like and how good Adrien looks in this trailer from AceShowBiz.com!

According to Variety, Adrien’s signed up to be in a comedy called “High School”.  Filming begins in Detroit on November 8th.  He’ll be playing a drug dealer.

Here’s the official website for ‘Cadillac Records’.  Not much is there right now except what looks like will be the official movie poster.  I think it’s great that Adrien has top billing. 

According to this BlackVoices.com article, ‘Cadillac Records’ will be released on Friday, December 5th.  The soundtrack will precede that with a December 2nd release. 

According to this Telegraph.co.uk article, ‘Manolete’ will be released in British theaters early next year.  They report that the release was delayed because filming went way over budget.  There’s no indication whether or not the movie will be released in the U.S.  We can only hope and pray that it will.  I’d settle for a DVD release here in the states at this point. 

FemaleFirst.co.uk is reporting that Adrien has hired Armani to help decorate his castle.   Good news is, sounds like Adrien will be living in New York for the rest of his life renovating it.

Here’s a ContactMusic.com blurb where Adrien talks about Elsa and his future with her.  This is the first time I’ve seen him actually talk about his personal love life and children.

Adrien is scheduled to appear on the red carpet at the Middle East International Film Festival in Abu Dhabi (2nd most populous city in the United Arab Emirates).  The festival will take place from October 10th to 19th.  Adrien will be there for the screening of ‘The Brothers Bloom’ which will open the festival at the Emirates Palace hotel at 8:30pm on October 10th.

I have an email friend named Maria who lives in Spain.  I’ve asked her what she knows about ‘Manolete’ and a possible release of the film.  She said that they have given two local release dates in the past and it never happened.  Maria also said that she read that the family of the bullfighter has some kind of court action against its release.  That could explain the hold up.

Here’s an online contest from RushPRnews.com to give Adrien’s Bloom character in ‘The Brothers Bloom’ a first name.  Apparently, his character doesn’t have one.  You could possibly win premiere tickets in either L.A. or N.Y.!

Jenni Miller (lucky, lucky girl!), senior editor for Premiere, got to sit down with Adrien for an exclusive Q&A. It’s nice to see him laughing in an interview after the one last week who thought he was sad!

Last night I was thinking, The Brothers Bloom — why is it named The Brothers Bloom when it’s not your last name, it’s your character’s name? And then I thought maybe it was a verb. The brothers bloom.
Ahhh. That’s very good. That’s probably a good question for Rian [Johnson], but maybe it’s true too. Because I’m also referred to as Bloom, which would mean, what, my [name is] Bloom Bloom? Bloom is blooming? It’s a verb.

Did that occur to you?
No. [laughs] It’s awesome… It’s great, actually. I like that.

I was wondering about the title myself. Adrien also talked a bit about Giallo.

So tell me about your upcoming projects, especially the Dario Argento movie Giallo and executive producing that.
It was exciting, it was an opportunity. I like Dario very much; I’m a fan of his films and I’m friends with Asia, his daughter. She’s a great actor. You know, the way that I view work these days is I like to experiment, try different things… My girlfriend was actually offered the role first, and my instinct was, because of the nature of her character, I thought it was very tough for her to go through, and I [thought] she should really give it a lot of consideration and possibly not do it, and part of the reason I signed on as a producer was to protect her. [laughs] And then I joined up, and then the character that I play is a detective that’s looking to rescue her, so in a sense my motivation follows in the character, so we thought that was quite an interesting thing.

Quoth Rachel Weisz! (Click on the photo to see a larger version.)

“He’s a wonderful kisser,” Weisz told a press conference Tuesday of Brody. Their tongues were intertwined in an enthusiastic buss in a memorable scene in the film, she said. “It wasn’t any old on-screen kiss.”

“We needed a lot of rehearsal,” commented Brody. “It was something we had to get just right.”

“Unfortunately, he had to rehearse (it) with me,” quipped Johnson.

Heh.
