Photo: (Project HOPE) In 2006, at the age of 15, Kristina Saffran and Liana Rosenman were undergoing treatment together for anorexia. The girls have since overcome their eating disorders and founded Project HEAL: Help to Eat, Accept and Live. Project HEAL, which helps people receive treatment for eating disorders and works to prevent low self-image, will soon turn five, and we knew we had to get more deets on this awesome yay-acceptance org. Along with providing scholarships to people who can't afford treatment, it encourages teens and...

Movie characters are people too. Well, they're imaginary people for the most part, but that doesn't mean that they don't have a few aspects of their lifestyles that they'd like to change in 2013. With so many great characters in the year 2012 (you can find out Top Ten here), there are more than a few that have some stuff they can work on in 2013. Here are the New Years resolutions for the movie characters of 2012! Batman from "The Dark Knight Rises" Stop trusting clearly evil people. Thor from "Avengers" Stop falling for that disappearing...

Despite utter zombie exhaustion, "Warm Bodies" has a premise we could potentially get behind. Sure, there's a lot of room for some cheeseball moments when you have a zombie falling in love and slowly becoming human again, but at least it's something different. If you remain unconvinced that anything original can be done with zombies anymore, we suggest you check out the first four minutes, which Fandango just posted. You'll be able to get a sense of what they're going for, and you'll get to see some Rob Cordry, which is always a good thing....

A few months ago, Quentin Tarantino told Total Film that he believes "Inglourious Basterds" and the recently released "Django Unchained" "bespeak a trilogy," but that he wasn't quite sure what the third leg would be. Well, he might have an idea now. In an interview with The Root (via Empire), Tarantino revealed an unused storyline from his longer version of "Basterds" that could make up the third installment of his trilogy. Learn more about "Killer Crow" after the jump! Cut from "Basterds" for length and to "tame his material," what...

With millions of U.S. teens and young adults unable to find work upon high school or college graduation, we're happy to see Frank shine a light on these numbers. Well, sort of.

Photo: (Getty) Christmas Eve is usually reserved for keeping a watchful eye over the chimney and spending time with families, but this year Demi Lovato also chose the day to honor the Sandy Hook Elementary School victims. The singer recorded a soulful rendition of Alabama's "Angels Among Us" in tribute to the 26 victims of the Newtown shooting. Before and after the video, viewers are directed to learn more about We Are Newtown. We Are Newtown was established as a way for people to find fundraising opportunities to support the Newtown...

You've seen our Top Ten of 2012 list, but now let's take a look back at the movies that just missed the cut. These are our Honorable Mentions of 2012. What the hell happened to Ben Affleck? The guy goes from being a punch line to being the director Warner Bros. supposedly wanted for their big "Justice League" effort. You want to know how he did it? He made his movies. Instead of being just the next actor to try his hand at directing, Affleck took another road. He found the grown-up stories that he wanted to tell and made them in intelligent...

J.J. Abrams has once again stated that he will not directing "Star Wars: Episode VII," despite having a conversation with Kathleen Kennedy about the job early on. Earlier this year when the world exploded with "Star Wars" news, people were quick to look to Abrams as a possible directorial candidate. A known fan, Abrams had the chops and the geek cred to pull it off, but he wasn't interested. He had previously told HollywoodLife that he was too much of a fan to get involved with the new project. But now, speaking with Empire, Abrams clarifies...

The full ensemble cast for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" has been assembled, and it's just as impressive as we've come to expect in a Wes Anderson movie. In addition to a cast of Anderson regulars, newcomers like Jude Law and Saoirse Ronan also are going to be featured. Anderson confirmed the array of actors in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. With his latest film, "Moonrise Kingdom," being considered an awards season contender, Anderson seems to understand that his next film has some big shoes to fill. "It's a Euro movie. It's...

Looking back on the After Hours of 2012, Tom Hiddleston's series of poorly planned pranks sticks out as one of the many highlights. "Loki'd" went on to inspire an internet fan culture around Hiddleston and his mustache, Wendy, so as a year-end bonus, we present never-before-seen footage from the shoot. These outtakes, if nothing else, prove how good of a sport Hiddleston was throughout the process and just how maniacal and devious the man was willing to get. In addition to the unused footage, Hiddleston also filmed an introduction...

While you were watching "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," did you wonder to yourself, "If I lived in Middle-earth, what kind of creature would I be?" You probably didn't because that's a terribly odd thing to think while watching a movie, but in case you did, the LOTR Project has put together a handy quiz to help you decide whether you belong to the world of hobbits, dwarves, or wizards. The quiz is fairly straight forward, but get ready to think a little outside of the box. You'll have to answer questions about your feeling towards...

Remember all of that controversy last year surrounding the choice of People's Sexiest Man Alive? The title went to (then) surprisingly inactive Bradley Cooper, who was between movies and generally not as universally loved as the cover model usually is, instead of the obvious choice Ryan Gosling. The public unrest over the snub was enough to cause some minor picketing outside of the Time Inc. building in New York City, but finally, the world may have the rematch they're hoping for. Derek Cianfrance is following up his indie drama "Blue Valentine"...
