Last time we checked in on Joseph Gordon-Levitt he was Occupying Wall Street and singing a tune with Zooey Deschanel—and now the multitalented actor has kindly requested that you no longer call him a "hipster," please. Which we're cool with, because then he goes a step beyond and actually defines the word "hipster" for us all. Someone that no one has been able to pinpoint since the first bearded man in Williamsburg was spotted with a PBR in his hand. Someone telegram this to the OED, post haste: more ›

At press time this video only has 304 views, so let's help out these young stars in their search for internet fame (crossing over from the mainstream isn't always easy!). Here are Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing "What Are You Doing New Years Eve?" (And before you ask, this is relevant because a new study just came out that proved it is scientifically impossible to harbor even one ounce of hatred towards either of these two.) more ›

Last night, I finally went and RECorded a few hours of Occupy Wall Street footage, just as the NYPD had raided Zuccotti Park, where the movement had been centered. Now, I'd like to gather a whole bunch of Occupy records, and start making art out of them. more ›

This week Jimmy Fallon and Joseph Gordon-Levitt showed off their karaoke skills, singing as David Bowie and Axl Rose, respectively. If you didn't get a chance to see Radiohead last night, this won't make you feel any better... but it's somethin'. more ›

During filming in Manhattan last summer, bike messenger movie Premium Rush made headlines after heartthrob Joseph Gordon-Levitt crashed into the back of a taxi, shattering the rear window and bloodying his arm. (None of his precious, delicate features were not harmed during the making of this motion picture.) It also made headlines when a disgruntled area man headbutted a production assistant who wouldn't let him pass by during filming, and when the production crew wouldn't let an elderly woman sit down to wait for a bus. Was it worth it NYC? Here's the trailer for your premature evaluation: more ›

Angels in the Outfield star Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in town filming a bike messenger movie called Premium Rush. (Why anyone would try to add to the genre after Quicksilver is beyond us.) While shooting over the weekend, the sinewy young thespian immersed himself in the role so completely that he crashed into the back of a taxi, shattering the rear window and bloodying his arm. As Laurence Olivier once (supposedly) remarked to Dustin Hoffman, "Why don't you just try acting?" more ›

Zoe no! Today the Times talks to Zooey Deschanel, along with her 500 Days of Summer co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whom the paper says really "enjoy one another’s company." What do they share in common? A desire to shit on the Big Apple apparently! Zooey tells the paper, “I think there are so many films that romanticize New York in that way, but it’s not like a perfect city. It’s dirty, and if you blow your nose, there’s dirt coming out.” Apparently the smog sneezes are squeaky clean in Zooey's hometown of LA, where the film is set. Up next is Gordon-Levitt, who says, “I didn’t really start to appreciate what was beautiful or aesthetically pleasing about L.A. until I moved to New York when I was 19. I’d come back to visit, and I’d be like: ‘You know what? There’s something really nice about driving through the canyons and singing as loud as I want, alone in my car.’ ” Well who's stopping you, ya alien twerp? Back when Zooey talked to Gothamist, she told us, "I love New York. I've worked there a lot and I feel really comfortable there." Maybe reenacting famous local bloody death scenes has made someone a little Gotham germophobic. more ›

Wonder if they filmed this in the Hotel Chelsea... Zooey Deschanel (friend of Gothamist) does a pretty good Sid Vicious impersonation in this Cinemash short! She teamed up with her latest co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Nancy, of course, for a mashtacular presentation of both Sid & Nancy and their upcoming rom-com 500 Days of Summer. Who knew the crooning Cotton spokesgoddess could so convincingly pull a knife and successfully terrify us! But would Nancy have really worn that bunny sweatshirt? [via Pitchfork] more ›
