Aliens actress Sigourney Weaver has revealed that she learned how to pole-dance for her new movie You Again.

The 59-year-old stars alongside Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, and former Golden Girls star Betty White in the new comedy.

She said: “I didn’t learn that at Yale [School of Drama]. Although it would have been useful.”

However, Weaver added that she does not wear any raunchy stripper costumes for the dance, adding: “I wear the same thing [I did] for the samba. I have a little kind of Carmen Miranda costume.”

Weaver also said that she has been “very heartened” by the response she has had for the movie Prayers For Bobby, in which she plays a religious mother whose son kills himself because he is gay.

She said: “A lot of parents come up to me on the street and say how much they appreciate the film.”

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has revealed that she is going to bring out her first perfume.

The 28-year-old, who stars with her family in reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, is said to be launching her first fragrance through US beauty company Lighthouse Beauty.

She said: “Collaborating with Lighthouse Beauty was a really creative, innovative process.

“What’s so different about their approach is that they have worked so closely with me on all aspects of my fragrance, the bottle… so I can develop a product that truly represents me and speaks to my fans… The fragrance really captures who I am.”

Twilights Kristen Stewart almost quit acting after year of dead-end auditions

Twilight star Kristen Stewart nearly gave up acting after auditioning constantly for a year and not getting any parts, she has revealed.

Stewart, who has shot to fame for her role as Bella Swan in the vampire movie sagas, started acting when she was just nine years old.

In her pre-teens, the actress, now 19, auditioned continuously for a year without getting booked to do a single job.

She said: “It took a really long time until I was totally over it, and then came my last audition. I went to it and I didn’t even want to. My mum said: ‘Well, this is the last one. You don’t have to go to any more.’

“And that was the first movie I got.”

Stewart’s first film role was in the 2001 flick The Safety Of Objects.

Despite being such a huge star these days, Stewart insists that people don’t recognise her.

She said: “I think I just look different in person or something. I’m also not very approachable.”

However, on film sets it is a different story. Just like her dishy co-star Robert Pattinson, Stewart has to film her scenes under a massive umbrella to deter the crowds of paparazzi and fans trying to get close to the two stars.

The second Twilight film, New Moon, is due to hit UK cinemas in November.
