Actress Abbie Cornish has nothing but praise for Madonna as they prepare to make a new movie together.
Madonna, 51, is directing a new film about the abdication of Edward VIII, which will star Cornish and Vera Farmiga.
Talking about Madonna, Cornish said: “Madonna’s a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need a man to define her – and that’s admirable.”
She added: “She’s studied every aspect of what happened with Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII. It’s a fascinating insight into class and romance.
“Madonna’s created a contemporary woman – whom I will play – called Wally, who is fascinated by what happened to Mrs Simpson, and in a way, her story mirrors certain aspects of what happened decades before.”
Taylor Lautner’s New Moon co-star Alex Meraz has slammed the actor’s new movie Valentine’s Day as “lame and desperate”.
And although Meraz, 25, has not even seen the rom-com, which also features big-name stars including stars Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel and Julia Roberts, he said he is not impressed.
He tweeted: “Sorry Taylor, but the movie Valentine’s Day looks lame and desperate and it cries out, ‘Look we have all the biggest stars in one movie, please watch!’”
Meraz later added: “PS It has nothing to do with the talented actors in the movie, I just don’t like the producer and directors’ get-rich-quick scheme…
“Talk about biting the hand that feeds me. But I’m a wolf for crying out loud! I’ll be careful next time I spill Twitter all over everyone.”
It seems that the passing of her brother Michael Jackson has made Janet Jackson realize that she needs to make some changes in her life… and this led her to share with us her wonderful movie ambitions. This is what Janet Jackson said about acting: “There was a time when I met with the Wachowski brothers to do ‘The Matrix,’ a long time ago but there were scheduling conflicts. I want to kick somebody’s ass. Anybody’s, as long as I get to kick somebody’s ass. Kick a new hole in their butt. Rip ‘em a new butthole, I’d love to do that.” Looks like somebody has a bit of misplaced rage to go around… woe unto the poor action hero who gets to star with Janet Jackson in her first ass-kicking scene.
A Single Man star Colin Firth has said there are “risks” for a gay actor coming out as they could harm their career.
The 49-year-old, who is married to wife Livia Giuggioli, is playing the role of a gay college professor in his new movie and said gay actors are still struggling to cross “invisible boundaries” in their careers.
He said: “There might be risks for a gay actor coming out. The politics of that are quite complex, it seems to me. If you’re known as a straight guy, playing a gay role, you get rewarded for that.
“If you’re a gay man and you want to play a straight role, you don’t get cast – and if a gay man wants to play a gay role now, you don’t get cast.
“I think it needs to be addressed and I feel complicit in the problem. I don’t mean to be. I think we should all be allowed to play whoever – but I think there are still some invisible boundaries which are still uncrossable.”

Brandon Flores, a 24-year old filmmaker from San Diego, wants to make a flick documenting the early years of his favorite band, Blink 182. The ambitious guy already has a script all penned and an idea for style in mind. The only thing left is to get the go signal from the band’s management and the boys themselves. The problem is, Brandon and his buddies can’t seem to get in touch with the band. He said “We’ve been trying to get in touch with their management, or even the guys in Blink, because we’d like to use their songs in the movie. Or maybe we could even get the guys to do a cameo in the film.” But even without the blessing, Brandon intends to go forward with the film. Can anyone say lawsuit?

Actor Robert Pattinson is risking it all for actress Kristen Stewart.
The 23-year-old Twilight hunk’s relationship with co-star Kristen, 19, is supposedly jeopardising his career. Pattinson shot to fame in the vampire film series.
A real-life romance between the two is said to likely ruin New Moon, the next film in the movie series – Kristen’s character in the film, Bella Swan, falls for hunky werewolf Jacob Black, played by 17-year-old Taylor Lautner – and the producers want to make the love feel real.
An insider said: “The producers took Rob and Kris aside and told them to keep their relationship under wraps for a few more months. But they’re so much in love, they can’t keep their hands off each other.”
The source added: “They’re crazy about each other, and they want to shout it from the rooftops.
“But they’re also part of this massive machine called Twilight, and producers have this thing timed with scientific precision. They don’t want Rob and Kristen to tell the world about their relationship until the time is right.”
The insider added: “Rob’s whole world is Kristen. I’m surprised he even knows his lines because he’s so absorbed with her. He has no time whatsoever for his friends and has cut virtually everyone off so he can spend every waking moment with Kristen. He’s all about his woman.”
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.”

Pattinson, 23, and Kristen Stewart, 19, have started shooting for the third movie adaptation in the four-book series.
The first movie Twilight was released last year to huge success, and the movie’s sequel New Moon will be released in cinemas later this year.
The film’s cast have reunited in Canada to film the third instalment, which will see music video director David Slade take over from Chris Weitz, who directed the second movie New Moon.
New cast members for the third movie include Bryce Dallas Howard, Jack Huston and Xavier Samuel.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine star Liev Schreiber said he would like to bring his character Sabretooth back for the movie’s sequel.
Schreiber, 41, played the role of Victor Creed, also known as Sabretooth, in the movie that was released earlier this year, also starring Hugh Jackman.
Jackman, 40, has already announced that there will be a sequel and that production will head to Japan where it eventually starts.
Talking about reprising his role in a sequel, Schreiber said: “There have been some smatterings of conversation about it, but nothing concrete yet. I had a ball doing it, so I’d do it again.”

Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts will not be shooting new movie Eat, Pray, Love in the same ashram where the real-life author stayed.
Roberts, 41, will be playing the role of author Elizabeth Gilbert, who stayed in an ashram (retreat) in India to find her spirituality.
However, it has now been claimed Roberts will film in another ashram on Delhi-Jaipur National Highway 8, which is close to Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport.
She will reportedly stay in a hotel near to the airport as she is working 12 hours a day and reportedly wants to stay near to the set.
Jeremy Piven has revealed he used to “dabble” in the past – but now gets his kicks from coffee.
The Entourage star – who famously quit a Broadway show after getting mercury poisoning – was asked if he ever got any “aid” from “artificial substances”.
But he said a strong espresso is all he needs nowadays: “Espresso is the deepest I’ll go in terms of getting amped up. Back in the day, I did dabble. I’m not running for office, so I can say that.”
The actor angered his castmates and the theatergoers when he walked away from hit show Speed The Plow last year – and he was ridiculed when he claimed the reason he quit was because he had contracted mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi.
Piven, 44, who will next be seen on screen as a car salesman in The Goods, said: “I think everyone loves a good fish story, which is why it still hasn’t gone away.
“All I know is that I was incredibly sick and I had three doctors that said, ‘You have to get out of this show because you’re in serious trouble from too high a level of mercury in your blood.’
“I was eating fish twice a day and I haven’t touched any since.
“I took the advice of the doctors and what came afterwards – all the repercussions – I couldn’t control. You just have to make a decision.
“You can be really angry at me for having to leave a Broadway show early, or you can go to the movies and laugh at me in The Goods.”
