Emmy Rossum says she had some real-life sisterly advice for Emma Kenney, who plays her little sister on the R-rated Showtime series “Shameless.”

Rossum, 25, told Chelsea Handler on a recent episode of the comedienne’s E! talk show “Chelsea Lately” that she taught Kenney, 12, how to shave her legs.

“We have nude scenes so I was in the trailer, shaving my legs before a nude scene and she came in the trailer and I’m in like, you know, pasties and my robe, getting ready for my naked scene and she’s like, ‘Oh, that’s how you … shaving your legs? I’ve never done that before’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s do it,’” Rossum said.

“So then, we’re lathering her up and she’s shaving and of course, when I called my mom when I went home, I was like, ‘Yeah, we shaved her legs,’ the actress added. “She was like, ‘You robbed her mother of that experience. She’s becoming a woman. You’re taking it away from her.’ So I felt terrible.” Read the rest of this entry »

Ashley Judd might come across as a kind-hearted do-gooder, but the actress said she got riled up reading the script for her new film “Dolphin Tale” and was angry with the screenwriters.

“I don’t know if the other actors knew that Winter was a real dolphin and that the script was based on a true story — I did not,” Judd said in an interview provided by Warner Bros. Pictures. “So it made for a very unique process of discovery where I went from crying and being incredibly moved to being slightly indignant because the screenplay writers had such audacity to create such profoundly sentimental themes and to manipulate my emotions and that they should just be shot for having no respect to all of a sudden it dawning on me that it was actually a true story and I was pretty blown away.”

In the film, which is based on a true story, a young boy named Sawyer bonds with a bottlenose dolphin that has lost its tail in a crap trap. When faced with the realization that the dolphin might not make it, in spite of the care he received at a marine hospital (run by Harry Connick Jr.), he tracks down Dr. McCarthy (Morgan Freeman) who specializes in prosthetic limbs for veterans and finds a life-saving solution. Judd stars as Sawyer’s single mother, who works as a nurse. Read the rest of this entry »
