As actress Michelle Monaghan’s daughter Willow Katherine nears her first birthday, her next big milestone — walking — has been delayed by that nasty cold that’s going around. And Michelle admits she’s dealing with baby’s first bug is considerably less joyous than those much-anticipated first steps.
“Oh, God — she’s been sick for the last week and it’s been hell!” the actress — who’s gathering rave reviews for her performance as a tough mom in the indie film Trucker – told Celebrity Baby Blog. “She’s almost getting ready to walk and so we’re »

Charlize, Sandra, Bradley Kick Off Award Season in Hollywood
27 October 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
The red carpet was brimming with beautiful stars in La last night at the Hollywood Awards Gala, which is referred to as the first stop of award season. Charlize Theron was fresh off her trip to Sf and looking hot, while Kate Beckinsale was also sexy in black. Diane Kruger held down the angelic side in white, and newlywed Zooey Deschanel stuck with her standard cute look. Hilary Swank posed after her Amelia had a disappointing opening weekend, though she took home the Best Hollywood Actress statue for her work in the film. Inside the event, Sandra Bullock, Morgan Freeman and Zachary Quinto entertained the crowd from onstage. Julianne Moore had a big night, taking home Best Supporting Actress honors for her work in Tom Ford's directorial debut, A Single Man, and Bradley Cooper won the Hollywood Comedy Award. It was just three short years ago that Lindsay Lohan won »

Michelle Monaghan Says Willow ‘Getting Ready’ to Walk

Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImagetd>
During a Friday visit to the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, actress and first-time mom Michelle Monaghan revealed that daughter Willow Katherine, 11 months, is “almost walking.”
Of course, it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind — and baby girl appears to be conflicted about whether or not mobility is something worth pursuing, however! Michelle adds,
“She’s basically getting ready to take those first steps. She’s just teasing us! She gets down and squats and makes sure we’re looking at her and then stands up and decides not to.”

Michelle Monaghan and Jimmy Bennett in Trucker
Photo: Monterey Media Picked up and added to the release schedule out of the blue, it seems the primary reason James Mottern's Trucker is making the rounds is an attempt by Monterey Media to score some award season attention for its lead star Michelle Monaghan (Mission: Impossible III). Playing a big-rig truck driver leading a life on the road with a past that will soon come back into play, Monaghan performs well enough in the role, but to assume it's going to propel her into the Oscar race is a reach. Although it will make sure she isn't forgotten in the coming years should she continue down this path.
Monaghan plays Diane, a young and attractive truck driver we first meet in a cheap hotel room having sex with a man we don't see after the opening couple of minutes. This is the life »

Nathan Fillion Wants 'Greatest American Hero' Movie
18 October 2009 4:38 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Fan favorite Nathan Fillion won't be The Green Lantern, although a lot of Whedon acolytes swear he's the perfect fit (he's probably not). But while Filion is plenty busy with his ABC detective show Castle, he says there is a superhero of sorts he'd love to take the time to play.
In support of his new indie flick Trucker, which has a headline-grabbing performance by Michelle Monaghan, Fillion tells IFC about what's at the top of his wish list.
"If I had a dream project right now, I'd like to grab a hold of a superhero. There are so many superheroes out there, I feel like there's none left. But there is one I think I could handle, and that's a redo of The Greatest American Hero." »

The Messenger: Oscar Contender?
17 October 2009 1:10 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Rookie director Oren Moverman’s The Messenger faces the same obstacle in the fall awards season as the Michelle Monaghan star vehicle Trucker. It’s one of many marginal outsider films that has to get seen before it has a chance. The movie is a stark portrait of two soldiers (Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster) who have to deliver news to families that their loved ones have died in Iraq. Not only do … »
Exclusive: Michelle Monaghan Talks ‘Trucker’
16 October 2009 3:51 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
To the uninformed, Michelle Monaghan might be little more than a recognizable face. Yet, the actress has had a strong start to her career, having appeared in several of the most successful recent movies. That’s her in The Bourne Supremacy, Mission: Impossible III, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Eagle Eye. Nothing she’s done to this point, to resurrect the age old cliché, will prepare you for her work in Trucker. A small, subtle character study set against the vast expanse of the American West and written and directed by James Mottern, it’s the story of a tough trucker named Diane (Monaghan) who finds her independence and isolation compromised when she’s reacquainted with the son (Jimmy Bennett) she abandoned as an infant. Film School Rejects spoke to Monaghan about the deeply personal project, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2008 and is now in limited release. What »

Jamie Foxx Eager to Bring The Funny With 'Hangover' Team
16 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Wasn’t “The Soloist” hilarious? Remember all those crazy scenes of Robert Downey Jr. spilling urine on himself, and Jamie Foxx acting like he might be insane? Ah, good times, good times.
Oh wait, “Soloist” was a drama? Well, now that you mention it, maybe I shouldn’t have been laughing so much. Either way, the good news is that Foxx and Downey Jr. are reuniting for a real comedy from the director of “The Hangover.” And this time, I’m pretty sure it’ll be okay to laugh.
“Yeah, it’s called ‘Due Date,’” Jamie Foxx said of the film, issuing some high praise for director Todd Phillips, who also made “Old School” a frat-house classic. “He is the funniest guy in the world.”
The flick will reunite Phillips with his “Hangover” leading man Zach Galifianakis to tell the story of a father-to-be (Downey Jr.) who is forced to »

What Drives Nathan Fillion
14 October 2009 5:02 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
Even if Nathan Fillion weren't currently playing the eponymous mystery writer on the hit TV series "Castle," the genre fans out there would surely know the charming Canadian actor from his work with cult-beloved producer Joss Whedon. Fillion had a pivotal role as a serial-killing priest in the final episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," captained both the ship and ensemble cast of space western "Firefly" (and its spin-off feature "Serenity"), and goofily played Neil Patrick Harris' superhero nemesis in Whedon's web musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog."
Fillion currently co-stars in writer-director James Mottern's terrific desert drama "Trucker," starring Michelle Monaghan in a career-launching performance as Diane Ford, a free-spirited (okay, promiscuous) big-rig driver who's forced to watch over the 11-year-old son she all but abandoned to her ex. Fillion plays Diane's drinking buddy Runner, one of the locals whose casual relationship with her proves complicated by the fact that he's married. »

Michelle Monaghan Wants To Reunite With Tom Cruise For 'Mission: Impossible IV'
13 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Last time we checked in on possibility-defying super-agent Ethan Hunt, he had once again saved the world and was headed off on his honeymoon. Three years after "Mission: Impossible III" ended, Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams are gearing up for a fourth go at the franchise. So what's happened to Hunt during this period of "Mission" silence?
Has he given up the life of a secret-keeping secret agent for the pleasures and pains of committed matrimony? Or did Hunt ditch his bride Julia and dive back into a world of insurmountable obstacles, cool gadgets and witty one-liners? And how, if at all, would Hunt's character arc impact the possibility of Michelle Monaghan, who played Julia, returning to the franchise?
"I haven't [talked to J.J.], but I'm interested," the actress told MTV News recently. "I'd like to see what's going on with that. Obviously, it's an amazing franchise and I had so much fun making that film. »

Robert Downey Jr. And Jamie Foxx Re-Team For Todd Phillipps' "Hangover" Follow-Up
13 October 2009 6:55 AM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
After this year's drama "The Soloist," Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx are re-teaming for the most unlikely of follow-ups: the new comedy "Due Date" from Todd Phillips, director of this summer's blockbuster "The Hangover."
Like "The Hangover," "Due Date" also stars Zach Galifianakis and is about buddies who go out on an outrageous road trip. Downey plays Peter Highman, whose pregnant wife's due date is just five days away, hitches a ride to Atlanta with aspiring actor Ethan (Galifianakis). Wackiness and pratfalls are sure to ensue for the unlikely twosome. Foxx and Michelle Monaghan ("Eagle Eye") also star.
"Due Date" is currently shooting and is set to film in various locations across the country, including Los Angeles, Georgia, New Mexico, and Arizona. The film is being produced by Phillips and Dan Goldberg, who also produced "The Hangover," and from a screenplay co-written by Phillips. The due date for the »
Michelle Monaghan On 'Trucker'
12 October 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Late last week, my girlfriend and I plopped onto the couch to watch "Trucker," Michelle Monaghan's indie flick that has been doing the film festival circuit since debuting at Tribeca in 2008. I'd be sitting down with the actress the next day—a day before the movie was set to get a theatrical release—and some kind marketing folks had sent the DVD my way.
Within the first few seconds of "Trucker," there's Monaghan vigorously, vociferously gettin' busy in a motel room. My girlfriend wondered aloud just what kind of movie I'd brought home, while I, I must confess, was hooked. So was Monaghan, as I'd find out when she stopped by the MTV News offices to chat.
"I don't even have to read the rest of the script before I say yes," she laughed when I asked about that first scene.
But it was really what came after—a »

Interview: Michelle Monaghan Drives Trucker
10 October 2009 1:13 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Sitting in a midtown Manhattan publicist's office, Michelle Monaghan flashes a handful of fingernails painted a shade she calls "peacock green" ("It was for a photo shoot"), which contrast with her skinny black jeans and top and her zebra-striped sweater - and laughs when asked whether a studio would have cast her in the lead role in Trucker. "I don't kid myself that a studio would ever have given me a role like this," she says. "But I don't think this movie would be this movie if a studio had made it. "That's why I'll forever be grateful to James (Mottern, the film's writer-director). It's the role of a lifetime. He saw a scene I did in North Country and asked to see me. It was the easiest job I ever got. This is dream material, what you become an actor for." Less... »

Review: Trucker
10 October 2009 7:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
By Erik Davis, reprinted from the Tribeca Film Festival 4/26/08
I was completely honest with actress Michelle Monaghan yesterday when I told her, right at the beginning of a one-on-one interview, that I'd been waiting a long time to watch her come alive in a role. In her relatively short career, Monaghan has already racked up quite the resume -- appearing in films like Mission Impossible III, Gone Baby Gone, The Bourne Supremacy, The Heartbreak Kid and Made of Honor. She's got a great, girl-next-door quality about her, but is she memorable? The good news here is that Monaghan finally delivered the sort of performance I've known was trapped somewhere inside her, hidden behind a variety of big, flashy Hollywood films. Make no mistake, this is her film. She owns it. But is that enough to convince you to see it?
In Trucker, she plays Diane, a female truck driver with »

Road Talk with 'Trucker' Star Michelle Monaghan
9 October 2009 2:05 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
By Steve Pond
Oscar voters often love it when beautiful models, or starlets accustomed to playing the one-dimension girlfriend roles, reveal that they can actually be serious actresses when given a chance. The transformation has worked for the likes of Jessica Lange and Charlize Theron in the past – and this year, Michelle Monaghan looks to be shaking up the perceptions of people used to seeing her in the likes of “Made of Honor” and “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” with her tough, subtle work in James Mottern’s “Trucker.”
Yesterday, Roger Ebert gave the film f... »
