Last week, the Post reported that Oscar winner Paul Haggis was writing a new movie about a New York party reporter, and that scoop quite naturally got nightlife writers buzzing: While Haggis has kept up an active social life since moving to New York, he’s usually quite reticent with party reporters and certainly hasn’t been “overheard asking numerous young party reporters about their experiences,” as the Post reported. Last night, at the 2012 Revlon Concert for the Rainforest Fund, we grilled Haggis to find out what’s what. “That story is bullshit. Bullshit,” he said. Haggis is indeed prepping a movie called Third Person, which he hopes to shoot this August, but he’s been writing it for years and claims that the party-reporting element is minimal. “It’s about three story lines, three love stories, three relationships in three different cities that combine in a very odd way: New York, Paris, Rome. And so I wanted one of them to have a job in New York. So after writing the script, I thought, Oh, party reporting, that would be great. But literally, it’s just that. The character is not based on anyone, or anything like that. Imagine, the Post not having the correct information!”

So who’s been cast? “Liam Neeson is one of them, I can say that,” Haggis revealed. “The woman he’s in a relationship with, the party reporter, will be played by Olivia Wilde. That’s the character. I can’t tell you who else.” Certainly, a woman like Wilde would have no trouble as a party reporter; who wouldn’t want to talk to her? But ultimately, Haggis said, he’s not hitting up all these events just to observe party reporters in their natural element. “I go to parties to go to parties! It’s not for research. I just wanted to go to some premieres.”

The first trailer for the film “People Like Us” was just released – check it out below! The movie comes out on June 29th.

Lifetime’s all-new series THE CONVERSATION WITH AMANDA de CADENET, a refreshing and intimate take on celebrity interviews hosted by British television personality and renowned photographer Amanda de Cadenet and executive produced by Demi Moore and de Cadenet, will premiere on Thursday, April 26, at 11:00pm ET/PT.

Nine years ago, actress Olivia Wilde ran, or rather walked, in the EIF Revlon Run/Walk. This year she will host it for the first time when it takes to the streets of New York on May 5. Wilde joins fellow first-time ambassador Emma Stone for the event that supports women’s cancer research.

“Emma and I will kick off the event and welcome everybody, then we’ll participate,” Wilde said of her duties, which includes pounding the pavement with thousands of participants.

Wilde says she may run alongside Stone, but only for a short time.

“Maybe Emma will run in the front, and I’ll bring up the rear,” Wilde joked. “I probably will have such shin splints after attempting to run I will be recovering on ice.”

The EIF Revlon Run/Walk is one of the nation’s largest single-day fundraisers. Each year, tens of thousands participate in its New York and Los Angeles event. The company has distributed more than $65 million to date for research projects.

Wilde says she’s proud to participate because cancer has affected several women in her life and she’s eager to help find a cure. She feels the best chance comes from the private sector.

“I’m optimistic that in my lifetime we will find one. Or certainly in the same way that’s happened with HIV in the last 30 years where treatment has gotten to a much better place. But that can only happen if there’s money behind research and that doesn’t just happen magically,” Wilde said.

She added: “It’s incredibly important to view the influence that multinational companies like Revlon have for the greater good.”

The Revlon Run/Walk comes to Los Angeles on May 12, where six-time host Halle Berry takes to the streets to help find a cure.

A release date for the film “The Words” has just been announced! It will open September 21st in the US.

What happens when a woman crippled by anxiety meets a charismatic agoraphobe? Olivia Wilde (Cowboys and Aliens) and Jason Sudeikis (Horrible Bosses) are hoping that particular romantic comedy premise makes box office gold in their new film, Relanxious. The film will mark the directorial debut of writer Christopher Storer (Sin Bin) in a relationship comedy that explores the power of love when it’s complicated by social phobias. Wilde will star as Barrett, a woman plagued by her anxiety who falls for George (Sudeikis), a man whose fear forces him to converse with her only over the telephone. As their conversations lead to increasingly serious fantasy dates, they are tasked with putting aside their fears to find a real-life romance. Relanxious also stars Brie Larson (Scott Pilgrim vs the World) and Fred Armisen (Portlandia) and will begin shooting this summer in Chicago.

Deadline reported relanxious-olivia-wildeon Relanxious, the new romantic comedy starring Wilde and Sudeikis. Wilde is currently filming The Incredible Burt Wonderstone with Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi and Jim Carrey, while Sudeikis will star as Batman in the comedy-short compilation, Movie 43. The film, produced by Daniel Dubiecki and Lorene Scafaria, will star Larson as Barrett’s sister. Larson can next be seen in Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s 21 Jump Street, starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, which opens this weekend. Sudeikis’ fellow SNL cast member Armisen will play George’s friend and sole go-between with the outside world. While the premise of Relanxious does come off a bit too cutesy for my tastes, I’m quite sure that the opportunity to date Olivia Wilde is the cure for pretty much every phobia.
