Michael will be on the “Late Show with David Letterman” on CBS Wednesday, January 18th 
I was kinda hoping he could also show up on Ferguson, Conan and Jon Stewart's couches but for a 1st talk show appearance it's a wise choice. (Dave will rip him in half though

Popping in to post this.
Charming as always
Guardian interview

Love this interview with In Touch. Those girls ask the most inane questions and I'm glad he answered all of them.
So he likes a woman with a healthy appetite. That reminds me of Eddie Murphy's Raw. When he mentioned that he hated women that just had salads and water on a date.

Lainey is snarky, bitc*y, judgy, obviously favors some while blasts others but she's right about certain things - money and handling of events.
TIFF appearance should have been handled better by Michael's or studio's team. But I honestly doubt some journalist or film critic will have their panties in the twist because Michael was no-show at the premiere. Seriously, like Keira and Viggo are some C and D list stars and ADM needed Michael to sell well.
Let's not forget that Shame and The Descendants share the same studio and I'm guessing executives decided it would be more efficient to put all money on one horse aka The Descendants. From exec's POV, it's better to push Clooney because he's better known, has loads of HW connections, movie he is in is the type of movie Academy members love. Fox Searchlight is still pushing Michael but maybe not to that extent as Clooney because screenings of Shame went bad. To be exact - people hated it.
To get Oscar nom, an actor/actress has to work the circuit - press, critics and Academy members. Unless it's a really bad year and one has exceptional performance hence obvious lock from the start. Those who claim that they won't or don't do it, well they're lying. Look at Natalie Portman last year - she did every single thing to get that Oscar - pretty much like Clooney and Pitt this year.
Ahhhh, bless her! I guess she just got overwhelmed by the Fass charm. It happened to me too. :shame:
I really hope Fassy and Jessica will end up in a film together. Steve McQueen make it happen, man!!
He's starting to become too good to be true with all these answers about overweight women being his usual type... I mean c'mon he has only dated skinny or porn looking women in the past [eating salads like there's no tomorrow] I doubt he would get it on with Melissa McCarthy anytime soon even if he says so. Polite answer for a noisy question TBQH, like he did about Chelsea Handler (he's watching her show my a$$
).But that's a lot of interesting questions answered in only 2 minutes, good job girls
The Toronto ladies really can't seem to let that one go, no? They've been harping about that for awhile now. I really don't see a big deal about a last-minute change especially when there are 2 other leads (who are the first and second billed actors!) to represent Cronenberg's movie ... while Fassbender's basically the poster boy for Shame. Maybe going to Venice was also at the behest of the studio's suggestion? Anyway, I find it weird that any post about him harks back to that "blunder", you'd think he violated Royal protocol and touched Her Majesty...
Oh, and Artica, how funny, I read the Calamity portion of the intv re: kissing before filming, as her and DeeDee practice-making out! (maybe it's because I recall lots of girl on girl kissing in the threesome). I could also be totally wrong, it's not really specified, and reads pretty ambiguously
Oops, perhaps I need to get my mind out of the gutter. Could have sworn that Michael was joining them.
This may be an inane question, but does anyone know what happens if a male actor gets a little too much into character during erotic scenes? It's not like you can ignore or hide it if you're shooting scenes like the ones in Shame.

Indeed. I guess he likes women with the same metabolism as he has. Women who can eat like a horse and not put on any weight. Unfortunately those women are very rare. Most woman are on 1000 or 600 calorie diets for a hell of a lot longer than he ever was and nobody is giving them any awards for it.
Since when is adopting a cocker spaniel and telling People magazine about it (and posing for a photo with said dog) pandering? I mean really...
http://www.peoplepets.com/people/pets/article/0,,20553625,00.html
I think Brad and George are aging out of being Brad! and George! and there is some sympathy in Hollywood over their decline and that will work against Fassbender who clearly has many good years in front of him. Also, a lot of the awards seem to not be given on the basis of the performances in question but rather for lifetime achievement, the voters feeling of "isn't about time we gave you one of these?", general balance in the balloting (old vs young, type of project) and general familiarity. And pandering is helpful, I think Colin Firth campaigned pretty hard last year to get his win. He should have won the year before for "A Single Man" and perhaps he thought he'd better get out thesre and win some people over.
And while people like MF's performance a lot, there isn't a lot of love for the movie itself among the various bodies giving out awards, at least not so far (am expecting the BAFTAs will be better). None of these things are going to help MF win. On merit alone I think he should win but HW is not a meritocracy, unfortunately.
OMG that story about adopting a dog is really cheap. Poor George is getting desperate.
Good point! Same thing with Ryan Gosling IMO.
Colin Firth did campaign for his Oscar, like every other nominee, but ever since The Kings Speech had premiered at TIFF, he was considered as a very serious contender right from the start. He carried that momentum till the end and won. This year race has been very tight and little things will decide. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Michael but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he doesn't get a nom.
Chelsea Handler on Conan O'Brien show last night casually talking about Michael
You know, Michael Fassbender? That hot guy? Id go for him.

She's "supposed" to be 36
Either shes doing some creative accounting with her age, or she spent her 20′s only doing speed and coke. If you told me she was 50, Id say: meh, she looks pretty decent for her age.
Ladies I share your sentiments about Handler. I'm hoping she goes away in a year or so.
He gets a lawsuit on his a$$ ASAP that's what
These 2 women weren't really attractive IMO but still I was wondering if the threesome scene at the end of the film was entirely faked and if not how could you even fake a scene like this one to begin with [70's porn films would probably look faked next to this one] ? :hnsnsn:
Yes it is but poor puppy has been tricked into liking George. I'm guessing turkey meatballs are must-have-item in Clooney's household from now on
