Here are some photos of Amy Adams a few weeks ago at the GLSEN Respect Awards in Los Angeles, and she looks pretty fantastic in this little black dress. Amy is one of the only actresses out there who looks really good with flat-ironed hair, and she might not be a huge style icon, but she usually manages to look occasion appropriate and knows how to dress for her figure.
In terms of her career, Amy rarely makes a misstep in that regard either. She consistently surrounds herself with good talent and acclaimed directors (although we’ll see how Zack Synder treats Man of Steel), and the only true wrong move she’s made is that awful romantic comedy, Leap Year. Now Amy has signed onto play Janis Joplin in an upcoming biopic indie film, which will likely be directed by Lee Daniels, who helmed Precious and The Paperboy (the one where Nicole Kidman pees on Zac Efron). This sounds a bit like Oscar bait, but Amy can probably at least pull off the role even if the film itself is a disaster, right?
Adams is attached to star as the queen of rock ‘n’ roll in the Janis Joplin project titled Get It While You Can. Lee Daniels is in talks to direct [the] Janis Joplin biopic that has Amy Adams attached to star as the queen of rock ‘n’ roll.
Robert Katz and Andrew Sugerman are producing along with Ron Terry, who wrote the screenplay with his wife, Theresa Kounin-Terry. Jay Tobin is exec producing.
Joplin was the hard-living singer behind such rock classics as “Piece of My Heart” and “Me and Bobby McGee.” She crested on the wave of the 1960s counterculture as one of the faces of hippiedom, and she performed at Woodstock.
Joplin, who has influenced artists ranging from Stevie Nicks to Florence Welch (of Florence + the Machine), died of a heroin overdose in 1970, just weeks after Jimi Hendrix succumbed to his drug demons, giving a one-two punch to the face of the Age of Aquarius.
Daniels’ involvement is the latest development for the project, which over the years has had Fernando Meirelles and Catherine Hardwicke attached as directors, Renee Zellweger as star and Temple Hill as producers.
The project is independently financed, and there have been preliminary talks with Focus Features about coming on board, though no deal has been made. An early 2013 production start is being eyed.
Daniels, who garnered acclaim and an Oscar nomination for his 2009 gritty drama Precious, followed that up with Southern thriller The Paperboy, which stars Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman and is now in theaters.

The way I see it, this will be a challenging role for Amy even though the girl can sing. She has experience playing singers in Enchanted and Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, but Janis had a very distinctive, amazing voice that will be hard to replicate without sounding like Axl Rose in “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” Thank goodness Renee Zellweger isn’t still playing Janis though! Can you imagine?

Treating herself to some retail therapy, Amy Adams hit up Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon (October 16).
The ?Enchanted? actress donned a stylish black dress with peep-toe heels as she carried a garment bag up the street.
However, once a gust of wind kicked up her hair, Amy found herself trying to re-primp without the benefit of a mirror.
Earlier in the week, Amy was joined by her fianc Darren Le Gallo and their two-year-old daughter Aviana during an outing in Santa Monica.

Looking carefree and happy, Amy Adams smiled her way through Toronto Airport after flying in from New York on Friday (September 7).
"The Fighter" star posed for pictures and willingly signed autographs for her Canadian fans.
The 38-year-old red-headed actress dressed casually in a pale jacket, blue jeans and white t-shirt.
The outfit was a far cry from her last public outing.
On Wednesday (September 6), Miss Adams was a picture of glamour dressed in a sequin-embellished gown for the Ninth Annual Style Awards in New York.

I don’t post pictures of Amy Adams all that often, mostly because I can never remember who she is, she’s on The Office right? Maybe she’s not, see what I mean? Anyhow, whoever she is, she was invited to Letterman last night and she decided to wear a tight dress to the affair. Always a

Strutting her stuff for fans outside the studio, Amy Adams visited "The Late Show with David Letterman" in New York City today (August 28).
The "Leap Year" star wore a sexy short red dress and black heels as she posed for fans and photographers with her hair blowing in the breeze.
Miss Adams talked to the late night host about her new film and the mysteries of Scientology in which she didn't have much to say.
Fans can see the 38-year-old actress in the upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson movie, "The Master," which follows a charismatic leader and his growing faith-based organization.
Amy plays the obedient and oppressed lover of the leader, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. She drew from her childhood experiences in the Mormon church to help her embody the character.
She tells New York Magazine, "I definitely did see, growing up, a lot of women that were meant to be quiet and pleasant, and if you had something mean to say it's probably best to keep a journal..."
However, the Italian-born actress is reluctant to levy too harsh of criticism. "I'm always careful, because I still have relatives I care very much about who are involved (with the Mormon church)."
Watch a clip from her interview with Dave below!

Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master fast approacheth, and anticipation has been so heavy that the film’s release date has been pushed up to September 14. The Weinstein Co. has also issued a statement: “We feel that the film is great. It plays great, and we wanted to get out in front of everyone else.” Good news, right? Now Amy Adams has started her end of the promotional trail with a new interview with New York Magazine. We didn’t see much of Amy in the film’s two teaser trailers, but she came out, eyes a blazing, as cult leader Lancaster Dodd’s Lady Macbeth-esque wife in the full-length trailer. Here’s what Amy had to say about her experience filming (and watching) The Master:
On watching The Master: “I was like, I don’t even know what I did in the film or what I didn’t do, or what I need to do, I have no clue.” Near the end, during a scene between her character, the wife of a cult leader, and Joaquin Phoenix’s drifter, “I just sobbed uncontrollably. It really broke my heart. Oh God, I’m going to cry again if I think about it. I don’t know why it got to me, I’m not a crier,” she insists, collecting herself. “I’m always, ‘Oh, that’s so drama school.’ No. I’m not that kind of person.” When I ask what it was about the scene, she says it was Phoenix’s character, “so solitary, so seeking, so lost. I’d probably need to talk to a therapist to find out why that resonates with me so deeply.”
On her character, Mary Dodd: “I do not want to run into her in a dark alleyway,” says Adams. “Give me [my character] Charlene from The Fighter any day, we can have a beer, talk about it, we’ll have fun. This woman scares the sh-t out of me. Excuse my language.”
On PTA’s odd methods: “You’re the first person I’ve talked to about it,? says Adams, as if expecting a lightning bolt to strike. Anderson’s working methods were new to her. Even for scenes in which she was not scheduled to appear, she was instructed to show up, just to make her presence felt. “It was exhausting, but I love the effect. She’s almost blurry.” Often, she had no idea whether the camera was on her, as during one scene in which Hoffman leads his followers in naked sing-along around a piano; Adams had to sit as demurely as possible, nude except for a pregnant-belly prosthetic.
“It was one of the most surreal evenings of my life, and I’ve had some pretty surreal evenings, up there with giving birth,” she says. “I was in a surreal place, because my daughter still wasn?t sleeping through the night and we were shooting nights. I felt like I was a little on edge, I was a little cuckoo, so I just sort of brought it.” For another scene in which Phoenix is ruthlessly “processed,” Anderson handed her a page of Victorian pr0nography and told her to read it straight to camera. “I’m like, Wait, is Paul trying to break [me] down? Is he doing this to me?”
It all sounds a little, well, cultlike, with the secretive Anderson imposing his will upon a cast and crew systematically discombobulated by working methods designed to keep them subtly off-balance throughout. “I won’t go that far,” she says. “But I do kind of worship Paul. He’s magnificent.”
She was raised Mormon until age 12: “I’m always careful because I still have relatives I care very much about who are involved, but I definitely did see growing up a lot of women that were meant to be quiet and pleasant, and if you had something mean to say it’s probably best to keep a journal.”

I think it probably served the film quite well that PTA kept his authors in a surreal mindplace as Amy describes. A lot of directors do that sort of thing, it’s just that PTA’s films tend to be of a more bizarre variety than most. While shooting Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino kept his actors sequestered from Christoph Waltz so that when they encountered Waltz’s Jew Hunter onscreen, they were generally terrified of him. So yeah, freaking out your actors (within reason) can help produce better performances. And I can’t wait to see how The Master turns out.

It?s always a treat when great cinematic minds come together for a project, and ?The Master? has just released a brilliant new teaser trailer.
The Paul Thomas Anderson flick, slated for an October 12th release looks to be a challenging flick, marked by strong acting, directing and stark aesthetic.
?The Master?s? cast includes notable names like Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and the mysterious Joaquin Phoenix (thankfully sans beard).
Per the synopsis, ?The Master is a 1950s-set drama centered on the relationship between a charismatic intellectual known as ?the Master? whose faith-based organization begins to catch on in America, and a young drifter who becomes his right-hand man.?

Joining in on quite the big evening in the Big Apple, Amy Adams turned up for the 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' 2012 Costume Institute Gala in New York City on Monday (May 7).
The "Enchanted" actress dazzled her way through the Metropolitan Museum of Art venue while clad in a Giambatista Valli frock.
The annual fete finds actress Carey Mulligan acting as honorary co-chair valongside designer Miuccia Prada and US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, while Azealia Banks is lined up to perform.
As for the celebratory occasion, this year's rendition of the Met gala ushers in the 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' exhibition exploring "the striking affinities between Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada, two Italian designers from different eras."
The display is described as being "inspired by Miguel Covarrubias's "Impossible Interviews" for Vanity Fair in the 1930s while featuring "orchestrated conversations between these iconic women to suggest new readings of their most innovative work."

We’re wrapping up our exhaust(ive/ed) fashion coverage of the Oscars and the night that would never end. I just wanted to give a shout out to Amy Adams for looking like a siren at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in this incredible Vivienne Westwood gown that fits her like a glove. Holy crap that dress is a knockout! Amy really has sharp red carpet style, I remember MSat gushing over her when she was all over awards season in 2008, and she’s grown on me so much since. Amy is back after having her baby and boy is she ever! She only did The Muppet Movie last year, but this year she has at least three movies coming out. Nice to have you back Amy, you sexy yet wholesome thing.
Minnie Driver was also stunning in an absolutely elegant draped metallic and silk gown. I haven’t found a designer ID on it yet, but it could be Alberta Ferretti as she’s worn that designer in the past and it’s similar, but not identical, to some of the other incredible dresses by that designer. I just wasted several minutes going through photos on the Ferretti website. Those dresses are phenomenal. Look at how on point this look is.
Brooklyn Decker looked super sexy in a low cut spaghetti strap gown with delicate fishscale beading. I can’t find a designer ID on this dress either, but that’s not stopping me from drooling over it. This is like the perfect boob to coverage ratio. This is how you show a lot of cleavage but avoid looking sleazy. How does she do that? Is it because we’re sure she’s not going to slip a nip?
Allison Janney really worked that striped silver draped gown. I don’t even like horizontal stripes but they look fab on her. This just reminds me that Janney wasn’t at the Oscars. But still the stupid Monaco royals got to go, just by calling in a favor to the CEO of Disney, who stammered an explanation of how he knew them. Translation: they begged for an invite, and he helped them out.
