Age Shall Not Weary Them

This is Jane Fonda. She is SEVENTY! Sure, it probably cost a lot in plastic surgery, personal training fees and the emotional toll of not eating cake, but ... It might just be worth it.

See V Magazine's latest issue, attempting to convince us that no one cares about age.

If only.

Jealous Much?

Important question: Do you think, based on this pic, that they are shagging? (Not right then, but you know what I mean).

On the campaign trail for their latest film together - which Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhall are naked for about 65% of - it seems fairly natural that they would conduct promotions in the nudder as well. Gyllenhaal plays a commitment-phobic Viagra sales-rep and Anne's character, an artist, strikes up a casual sex arrangement with the Viagra man. We all know where casual sex arrangements end up, too... Either one party gets too attached and they break up or they fall for each other and live happily ever after (not often).

According to the Sydney Morning Herald website, Hathaway said she initially found the requirements of the role "mortifying" and was left "constantly bruised" from the physical exertion of making love - sometimes aggressively - for the cameras.

Gyllenhaal had this to say about fake-shagging Hathaway:
"There's something about the way Annie and I both work which is inherently very musical. It's all about rhythm. There's a rhythm to writing, there's a rhythm to sports and there's a rhythm to sex."

They're totally doing it, right?
