Tracking Celebrities in Their Native Habitat
Emma Stone has changed her hair color! The 22-year-old actress will play Gwen Stacy in the new reboot of Spider-Man and to match her characters persona she’s went back closer to her natural color.
Stone was spotted with her new hairdo at the Trevor LIVE Benefit in Los Angeles on Sunday. The event was setup to benefit the country’s only gay and lesbian suicide prevention hotline.
The photo shouldn’t be too shocking, Stone talked to MTV News last month about the upcoming change:
The Spider-Man prequel may have found their Betty Brant in actress Zooey Deschanel.
According to the PopCrunch announcement:
“Betty was a minor character in the previous Spidey movies, but Marc has big plans for her. He wants a strong performer to carry the role, and Zooey fits the bill perfectly. The role is hers if she wants it.”
Andrew Garfield of The Social Network has also been confirmed as the new Peter Park with Emma Stone also confirmed for the role of Gwen Stacy.

While $500,000 isn’t a number to scoff at, it’s far less than the millions of dollars Sony was paying to Tobey Maguire to play the role of Spider-Man, but that’s exactly what the studio will give to British actor Andrew Garfield for his first outing in the superhero’s shoes.
Sony officials are said to have scooped up the British actor after they were impressed with his upcoming role in The Social Network about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
As a largely unknown actor in the U.S. Sony was able to pay Garfield a pittance, although he should see at least $1 million for the second movie and $2 million for the third, still a far cry from the millions paid to Maguire for the same role.

The 34-year-old actor who played the lead in the past three Spider-Man flicks is hanging the famous Spidey suit for good.
Take a bow, Tobey.
According to Daily Mail, it isn’t just Tobey who’s quitting. Director Sam Raimi and Kirsten Dunst (who played Mary Jane Watson, Spider-Man’s love interest) have pulled out of the upcoming third superhero sequel. Although both Tobey and Sam are citing script problems and financial conditions as their reason for quitting, they insist have no hard feelings for the Spidey series.
“I am so proud of what we accomplished with the Spider-Man franchise over the last decade,” Tobey said. “Beyond the films themselves I have formed some deep and lasting friendships. I am excited to see the next chapter unfold in this incredible story.”
Marvel Comics and Sony Pictures have new plans for Spider-Man 4, anyway. The movie, which will be released in 2012, will show Peter Parker in high school as he deals with teenage issues and his newfound super powers.
I can’t wait to see whom they’ll cast for the prequel. I pray that the execs keep their fingers away from the Twilight and Disney jars.
