Filed under: Movie News, Sundance Film Festival, Cinematical

CELEB SIGHTINGS
Penn Badgley and 'Win Win's' Alex Shaffer take to the slopes, while other 'Gossip Girl-ite' Leighton Meester is snapped with Minka Kelly. Ed Helms kisses himself. Twilight alert: Stewart's ex, Michael Angarano, hangs with her soon-to-be-film-mother-in-law Elizabeth Reaser. Lake Bell waves for the camera. Hopping to a 'Higher Ground' with Vera Farmiga and Taissa Farmiga. And what celeb roundup is complete without Mario Lopez?
