Missy Peregrym on the Gymnastics Scenes and Her Stunt Double: “The camerawork was amazing, the way that they filmed it. I thought the double was phenomenal. When she came in, we were in the middle training and I was terrified. I was like, ‘Guys, I can’t get that big.’ She was so muscular and so strong. I was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to do that.’ I’m willing to work as hard as possible but I’m like, ‘This is going to look so weird. It’s going to be like [indicating the difference in the two girls], ‘Missy, Isabel, Missy, Isabel.’ It’s so obvious. I was like, ‘Please no!’ But it actually worked out perfect.

They knew exactly what they were looking for and I’m so proud of the way it turned out. I just didn’t want this movie to look fake in that sense and for people to get out of the story to notice the doubling. I thought it was really cool.”

Peregrym didn’t have a background in gymnastics but that didn’t stop her from believing she could do many of her own stunts. “I kind of went in there thinking I could do everything,” laughed Peregrym. “I went in there and was like, ‘Okay, cool. I can do a handstand…’ Yeah, for like a second. Then I thought I could do a cartwheel and a front handspring and I was like, ‘See?’ And they were like, ‘No.’ ‘What do you mean no? I just did it and I landed on my feet.’ ‘That was good, but it’s all about form.’

It really took four months to learn the basics of gymnastics plus the strength required to do any of those tricks. It took all that time just to get the strength to even try some of the difficult stuff. Obviously, it’s such a dangerous sport and they are not going to be like, ‘Okay, guys, we’re going to do three back flips right now and we want to see you land on your feet.’ I’d break my neck, so really it was about getting out body to look like a gymnast.”

The Biggest Challenges to Playing a Gymnast: “The biggest part that was the most productive of the training period was really seeing what it’s like to be in the gymnast world. We trained for four months, five days a week for six hours a day. That’s a really long time. I was like, ‘Yeah, this is going to be so much fun. I can’t wait to get into this,’ and it was the most painful thing I’ve ever done. I was sore every day. Thank God [Vanessa Lengies] was in the training with me because we just really bonded through that experience. It’s so hard to get up every day and be that sore. Because you are so sore, you feel like you’re getting worse and worse. You want to go in there and be like, ‘Yeah, I can do all this and all that.’ But, even in gymnastics, you train and one day you can do every trick and nail everything. By the way, my trick is a spin… But the next day you go in and can’t do anything. ‘Why can’t I turn?’ That’s just the way it is.”

Peregrym continued. “It’s a mental game. It’s very emotional and as our bodies were changing, it was demanding eating properly and being able to support how much we were working out. It was so weird to be in a gym for that long. You lose your perspective for what’s really important in the world. I was, ‘How does my a** look and is it going to be fine in a leotard?’ It’s like, ‘Missy, re-group. Not important.’”

Missy Peregrym’s Take on the Lack of Female Role Models: “Definitely in Hollywood I don’t think there are a lot of those roles. That’s why I was attracted to this role so much. I’m really passionate about the way that Haley is because she had an arc, and I think a lot of teenaged girls are going through the same thing. I can’t speak on behalf of guys because I not a guy and I don’t know what their process is, but I know that, even for myself, I didn’t have the same family life or the same issues exactly but every girl has this process of defending herself. I have kind of the same defense mechanisms as Haley. I make sarcastic jokes. I try to bounce everything off me like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, it doesn’t matter.’ You try to mask your disappointment or the hurt and everything.

It’s funny because I’m kind of going through now what I was trying to portray as Haley. You really look at those things and what you thought were strengths are now weaknesses. You can’t go through the whole time deflecting everything and Haley really gets to a point of where she really deals with what is going on, the real issues. She uses them in a positive way to make a difference instead of just being this wall to absolutely everything. She opens up and lets things in and really excels and gets the people around her to excel. She was a great influence.”

So here is your first look at Missy’s Candice Wilmer on “Heroes”. Here’s something interesting: notice the way Candice is giving HRG the “eye” as she walks away from them. What do you think is going on there?

Case in point, these new Megan Fox pictures and video for Armani, where the actress just looks all kinds of hella sexy laying across various pieces of furniture in various states of undress. I guess she’s selling clothes; the stiffie-inducing ogles are just a very pleasant accessory. Enjoy.

Ronni Ancona, Craig David, Lorraine Kelly, Scott Mills, Olly Murs, Dermot O’Leary, Nadia Sawalha, Kara Tointon and Peter White are all taking part in a trek across one of the world’s most inhospitable deserts, in Kenya where they will also take on some of the planet’s deadliest creatures to raise as much cash as possible for Comic Relief.

The celebs will cover 100 gruelling kilometres in the Kaisut Desert in just five days and face temperatures as high as 100 degrees Fahrenheit, in a bid to raise money for people  living in both Africa and the UK who suffer disabilities and hardships.

All the ups and downs of their journey will be captured for a documentary which will be broadcast on the BBC in the run up to Red Nose Day.

Yep, I know, it’s awesome. And, of course, we’ve been ogling them here for a bit, we do need some private time with Kelly Brook all boobtastic and nekkid flashing her lovely lady nest before we share her with the hungry mob.But, don’t think of it as sloppy sec… well, you know, just focus on how ridiculously blessed we are to see this super hot model and actress baring all in this Ben Hasset photoshoto for Exhibition magazine.

The theme of the magazine edition is lipstick, which explains all the Crayola crayon madness on the pictures, and, it kind of bugs, but, hey, I will not look a gift horse in the mouth, especially when that gift horse is comprised of Kelly Brook nude pictures.

Yes, her voice would make nails on a chalkboard run for cover. But this girl cleans up nice. So, hate away, some of you Miley haters, I’m in camp Cyrus, in between Miley and Tish in some kind of awkward but pleasantly humid sandwich. Enjoy.

Making their way to a local nightclub, the beautiful couple joined up with supermodel Naomi Campbell and her man, Vladimir Doronin, in helping to celebrate the birthday of Fawaz Gruosi, founder and president of de Grisogono jewelry.

The outing comes amidst growing rumors that DiCaprio is close to proposing to his Israeli model girlfriend.

A source told the UK’s Daily Star, “He is finally ready to settle down and make it official. Leo has told his closest friend that his mother has been helping him pick out an engagement ring for Bar.”

Continuing on, the Daily Star insider adds, “He’s asked her to move in with him. Bar doesn’t mind spending the night at his bachelor pad, but she isn’t comfortable living there all the time.”

Reports claim Jason R. Peyton travelled across the U.S. to meet the former Friends star, and was taken into custody after he was found “laying-in-wait” near her house on 15 July (10). Upon his arrest, cops discovered he was carrying “a sharp object, a bag, a roll of duct tape and written messages about (Aniston)”.

Following the arrest, he was placed on a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold for a month.

Legal papers filed by Aniston’s lawyers state: “Peyton is an obsessed, mentally ill and delusional stalker – with a history of violence and criminal stalking – who drove cross-country in his delusional ‘mission’ to locate and marry (Aniston), with whom he believes he is in a relationship.”

Aniston was recently granted a temporary ban against Peyton but on Monday (09Aug10), Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner David A. Cowan approved a long-term order, forbidding the overzealous fan from approaching or contacting the star for three years.
