Jim Carrey Models the Latest in Ladies Swimwear

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy spent the holiday weekend in Malibu ensuring they wore the right clothing to be spotted by the paparazzi. Of course, considering his one-piece predecessors, the choice was a bit conservative.

I Love You Phillip Morris Billboard Up in Cannes

In Cannes, where the film festival has just kicked off, studios are flaunting their upcoming projects.

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor get snuggly on a billboard promoting I Love You Phillip Morris, the gay prison romance that's currently being shot in and around Miami.

Earlier this month I posted shots of Carrey and McGregor shooting a scene off the Florida Keys and Carrey and Rodrigo Santoro walking arm in arm in some period Versace threads.

The three have also been spotted in gay nightlife hangouts doing "research" for their roles.

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor Have Windblown, Key West Romance

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor (who's now a strawberry-blonde) were spotted have a windblown moment off the Florida Keys while shooting their film, I Love you Phillip Morris. In the film, Carrey stars as Steven Russell, a married father/conman who finds himself in the Texas prison system where he falls in love with his cellmate Phillip Morris, played by McGregor. The romance prompted four escape attempts and a lifetime jail sentence for Russell.

According to Metro UK, "In this scene, the two stars are filmed during a fumbling man on man moment aboard their dinghy, bobbing off Florida Keys. Carrey was left with his legs sprawled in the air and his pants around his ankles, as McGregor looks on suspiciously."

Earlier this week, Carrey and Rodrigo Santoro were spotted shooting a scene in Miami Beach. The three actors were seen the week before at a popular gay 'martini' night at Halo Lounge in South Beach doing research.

Jim Carrey and Rodrigo Santoro Play Gay in I Love You Phillip Morris

Last week I reported that Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor, and Rodrigo Santoro had been spotted doing some "research" at Edison Farrow's popular gay Martini Tuesdays at Halo Lounge in Miami Beach.

Here's your first look at Carrey and Santoro flaunting their Versace in the film I Love You Phillip Morris, which just began shooting in Miami.

In the film, an adaptation of the Steve McVicker novel I Love You Philip Morris, Jim Carrey plays Steven Russell, a married father/conman who finds himself in the Texas prison system where he falls in love with his cellmate Phillip Morris. The romance prompted four escape attempts and a lifetime jail sentence for Russell. McGregor plays Morris, and I don't have the details on Santoro's role.

Those Versace fashions really up the cheese factor. Let's hope they don't Chuck & Larry it.

Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey Gay it Up at South Beach Lounge

Ewan McGregor, Jim Carrey, and Rodrigo Santoro reportedly caused a stir when they popped in to South Beach's Halo Lounge off Lincoln Road for Edison Farrow's Martini Tuesdays this week.

While none of them drank martinis, (McGregor drank Champagne, Carrey drank water, according to the Miami Herald), they apparently used the visit to do research for their upcoming film I Love You Phillip Morris, a true story about a married father/conman who finds himself in the Texas prison system where he falls in love with his cellmate.

I'm not sure what that has to do with drinking martinis with a bunch of South Beach gays, but if McGregor walked into my bar I surely wouldn't have a problem with it.

More on the film here.

Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey to Make Love in Prison

In June I reported that Jim Carrey was to star as Steven Russell in the film adaptation of the Steve McVicker novel I Love You Philip Morris about a married father/conman who finds himself in the Texas prison system where he falls in love with his cellmate Phillip Morris. The romance prompted four escape attempts and a lifetime jail sentence for Russell.

Variety reports that Ewan McGregor has signed on to play Philip Morris: "Mad Chance's Andrew Lazar will produce with Far Shariat. Luc Besson's EuropaCorp is fully financing, and Besson is exec producer...Glenn Ficarra and John Requa wrote the script, based on a book by Houston Chronicle crime reporter Steve McVicker. Production will begin in spring, once Carrey completes starring in "A Christmas Carol," playing multiple roles in the Robert Zemeckis-directed performance-capture film for Disney."

Of Russell, Variety writes: "His love for Morris motivated his escape from prisons four times, once by using a green pen and bucket of water to change his prison outfit into what appeared to be surgical scrubs, another time by faking his death from AIDS and signing his own death certificate. Morris eventually got out, but Russell's escapades got him a 144-year sentence."

Jim Carrey to Play Gay Inmate in I Love You Phillip Morris

Carrey will play Steven Russell, a real-life gay convict currently serving a 144 year prison sentence in Texas, in I Love you Phillip Morris, based on the Steve McVicker book of the same name.

Variety reports: "Based on a book by Houston Chronicle crime reporter Steve McVicker, the fact-based film casts Carrey as Steven Russell, a married father whose exploits landed him in the Texas criminal justice system. He fell madly in love with his cellmate, who eventually was set free, which led Russell to escape from Texas prisons four times. Script has some of the dark edges of 'Bad Santa' but is grounded by the affable and lovesick character of Russell. Project was pitched to financiers as 'Catch Me if You Can' meets 'Brokeback Mountain.' It went to Besson, who recently declared an intention to take Europacorp public with an initial offering in Paris. Lazar bought the book while it was in galleys four years ago and enlisted Ficarra and Requa, who wrote 'Cats & Dogs' for the producer. Carrey was the first actor to whom he showed it. The timing of the film hasn't yet been resolved. Like many stars, Carrey is plotting back-to-back films that can be completed before the SAG contract expires next summer."

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who wrote Bad Santa, will be first time directors on the project.
