The Washington D.C. Premiere of FURY took place last night at the Newseum and the Stars were out in full force indeed!  Writer/Director David Ayer and the Cast including Star Brad Pitt walked the Star-Spangled Banner-lined Carpet, talking in-depth about their respective experiences filming the new World War II Drama.

On preparing for his exhausting role as Don “Wardaddy” Collier, Brad Pitt says “Listen, with five guys shoved in a tin can you get tired pretty fast, you don’t have a choice.”. He adds, “You know, we had to work the tank – and were fortunate enough to get to use live ammunition.”.  We also learn about his preparation speaking to several War Veterans in understanding their tired psyches.

Listen to Pitt talk about his role below:

Director/Writer David Ayer also talks about his experience working with his brilliant Ensemble of Actors, stating “You think of World War II as a ‘clean war’ because the outcome was so positive, but for the guy inside the tank, it was incredibly murky and difficult.”. He sings Pitt’s praises proclaiming, “I think this is the best work Brad has ever done!”. In describing the Film, he feels “It isn’t your Dad’s World War II Movie”.

See Ayer‘s thoughts below:

Rising Star Logan Lerman who stars as Norman Ellison, also has great praise for his Co-Stars. He says, “We became brothers in pre-production. Our relationship getting to know each other so well made the Movie what it is.”.

And we’re hearing praise from Critics thus far, tallying already a solid 76% on the Tomatometer from Critics!

International Pop Sensation Kiesza is currently in-town promoting her long-awaited major label Debut, Sound of a Woman. Originally from Calgary, the Dancer/Singer/Songwriter/Model at once joined the Royal Canadian Navy Reserves. Since exploding onto the Pop Music Scene with breakout hit Hideaway, the 25-year-old isn’t turning back and has established herself a huge European following, hitting number one in the U.K. with that Track. The Single was a Top Five Hit here in Canada also.

Kiesza is on a two-day Canadian Press Tour which sees her making a slew of Radio and TV appearances. In addition to taping interviews for Global‘s The Morning Show and CTV‘s The Social, Kiesza hit-up the Top 40 Radio Circuit today including a visit to The Roz & Mocha Show at the break of dawn. Rocking her signature up-do and channeling some serious vintage ’90s Versace, Kiesza stopped for photos and autographs with Fans. Despite her Handler insisting on one Photo only with Billy and me , she still made time for everybody!

Kiesza last visited Toronto this June for the MuchMusic Video Awards and pretty much had Music Bloggers in a frenzy with her phenomenal dancing and powerful Soprano. Even Perez Hilton was singing the praises of this Canadian Songstress.

After slowing things down on second Single Giant in my Heart, she takes us back to the ’90s  with a modern Electronic sensibility on fantastic new Single, No Enemiesz!

Official Synopsis:

NIGHTCRAWLER is a pulse-pounding thriller set in the nocturnal underbelly of contemporary Los Angeles. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Lou Bloom, a driven young man desperate for work who discovers the high-speed world of L.A. crime journalism.

Aided by Rene Russo as Nina, a veteran of the blood-sport that is local TV news, Lou thrives. In the breakneck, ceaseless search for footage, he becomes the star of his own story.

Mr. Will wants to ensure you get in on Lou Bloom‘s upcoming Seminars, complete with instructional how-to on his rise as the Media Mogul he is. Would you be interested in attending? Would you be interested in joining his Company? Get connected with Lou via his LinkedIn Profile Page here!

“I need white people lunch.”.

Why is it every time an Asian-American Sitcom launches, it fails?  Okay, we admit there was only one said Asian-American Sitcom – that being 1994’s ALL-AMERICAN GIRL – but this upcoming Series FRESH OFF THE BOAT looks somewhat promising.  Based on Chef Eddie Wong‘s Memoir Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir, the ABC Series looks to premiere Fall 2014 Mid-season.  Told much in a similar voice as Chris Rock‘s Everybody Hates Chris, the Series centers on a Chinese-American Family as they move to Orlando, with the hopes of opening an American-style Restaurant.  Based on its Trailer, it looks to get much of its jokes from East versus West humour, and the Asian-American Child’s struggle to “fit in”.

Constance Wu‘s humidity-hating Jessica is channeling some serious Asian Sofia Vergara, right?
