McGillis ‘Comes Out As A Lesbian’
Nothing wrong with this at all, must be hard for her to constantly have rumours and stuff going round about her.
Top Gun star Kelly McGillis has turned her back on men for good – reportedly confirming persistent rumours she is gay.
The actress been subjected to gossip about her sexuality throughout her career but she repeatedly denied speculation she was a lesbian.
But now McGillis has apparently confirmed she’s shunning men in favour of a female lover.
According to Radar Online, she says, “I’m done with the man thing. I did that, I need to move on in life. That’s another part of being true to yourself… that’s been a challenge for me personally.
“I think that (accepting my homosexuality) was an ongoing process from the time I was about 12. I had a lot of things happened that convinced me that God was punishing me for being gay. That was a hard process.”
McGillis has been wed twice and has two daughters from her marriage to Fred Tillman. The couple divorced in 2002.
News: Douglas’ Techno-savvy Father Shows Him Up
Awww how cute is this !!!?!?!?! Kirk hahaha love it.
Hollywood star Michael Douglas is ashamed he’s such a technophobe – because his 92-year-old father Kirk has his own blog.
Douglas is proud of the Spartacus star’s status as “the oldest blogger on MySpace” – but admits he doesn’t even know how to use email.
The 64-year-old says, “He (Kirk) prides himself on his spot on MySpace; he’s 92 years old and he’s got a blog on MySpace. He’s got 4,000 followers. I wouldn’t even know how (to read his blog).
“About three years ago I had an email address, the email would go to my office and my secretary would fax me the email!”
Parker’s Fears Over Twins
Awwww I am sure Sarah and Matthew will be able to manage.
Sarah Jessica Parker is nervous about the impending arrival of her new baby twins – because it will be much harder to juggle her work schedule with life as a mother of three.
The former Sex and the City star and her husband Matthew Broderick announced on Tuesday they are set to become parents to surrogate twin daughters.
The little girls, who are due this summer, will be sisters for their six-year-old son James Wilkie.
Parker fears she will struggle to balance her acting roles with her homelife after the babies arrive as it is already difficult enough to find time for her family.
She tells the New York Daily News, “It’s been a complicated past few weeks. My main concern is that my husband and son have enough time. I’ve felt very conflicted over the last few weeks. Hopefully, our son is feeling loved and taken care of. I can’t really complain because it’s my choice to work, but that doesn’t mean I don’t spend a better part of the day worrying about whether my family is getting enough (time) from me.”
But Parker insists her worries are commonplace for any mum-to-be, adding, “Any complications or any anxiety I feel is normal. Any mother who wants to continue to work and have a career outside the home goes through this, so I feel very much a part of the sisterhood.”
Bale Hopes Director Nolan Accepts Third Batman Movie
I really hope Nolan signs up for the third movie as well.
Christian Bale is praying The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan signs up for a third Batman film – because nobody will be able to better the moviemaker’s previous efforts.
Bale was directed by Nolan in 2005′s Batman Begins and reprised his role as the caped crusader for last year’s box office smash, which grossed more than $1 billion (£69 million) worldwide.
The actor is contractually obliged to star in a third film – but he’s worried about the future of the franchise if Nolan refuses to take charge.
He tells Total Film magazine, “It’s got to be the right story. You can’t make something like The Dark Knight and then come out with something disappointing.
“The fact is, I have to (make a third movie). I’ve signed up! Chris doesn’t. So I’m in a bit of a fix if he says he doesn’t want to!”
News: Pattinson’s Rock Star Dreams
I bet he is so glad that he stuck with the acting now !!!
Robert Pattinson nearly gave up on his acting ambitions before landing the lead as a vampire in Twilight – because he couldn’t snag the roles he dreamed of playing.
Pattinson first shot to fame playing wizard Cedric Diggory in 2005′s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – but he began to plot a career as a musician when he failed to secure any more inspiring movie work.
And it wasn’t until he landed the part of an awkward musician in filmmaker Oliver Irving‘s independent movie How To Be that his love for acting was reignited.
Irving tells People.com, “He was thinking about giving up acting and maybe doing music solely when this role (in How To Be) came along. He wanted to play the roles he wasn’t getting… He was looking for something more challenging.”
And the director made sure to push Pattinson during filming, asking him to play the guitar and harmonica while disguising his good looks with a strange haircut and ill-fitting clothing.
Irving adds: “I said, ‘You’re banned from cutting your hair between now and the shoot.’ We had to give him the most awkward haircut we possibly could, and we cut his trouser length a little bit too high. Things like that played down his apparent good looks.”
And Irving insists Pattinson rose to the challenge, often showing off musical skills too advanced for his character: “He downplayed how good he was. A lot of the time he would turn out to have a really good (instrument) technique and we told him he needed to play it more simply.”
Winslet Pities Young Actresses
Yeah it definatly is more intense now. I am pleased for Kate too 
Kate Winslet is relieved she found fame in the 1990s – because young actresses today face more intense media attention than she ever did.
The British beauty shot to international stardom alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997′s Titanic, and faced a barrage of press comments about her curvy figure at the time.
Winslet “bounced back” from the criticisms and learned to love her figure – but admits she found the unwanted attention “f**king hard”.
And the 33 year old pities those just starting out in Hollywood – because she’s convinced they face even more judgement about their looks and their personal lives.
She tells Marie Claire magazine, “It’s really, really tough. It’s like, ‘She’s fat, she’s thin, she’s married, she’s divorced.’ I had all that and bouncing back is f**king hard.
“I’m really, really happy I’m not a younger actor or actress working now because they have to run before they can walk.”
Case 39 (2009) Poster
Just come across this new poster for Renee Zellweger’s up and coming movie. Case 39.
Winslet Blasts ‘Middle Class’ Tag
Awww I love Kate, and I’m glad that she has put the record straight. She is such a lovely woman, love her !!!
Kate Winslet has hit out at critics who assume she had a privileged childhood – insisting her family was so poor she grew up wearing second-hand shoes.
The Titanic star is adamant her famously well-spoken accent is not an indication of a luxurious upbringing.
And she is insists her parents struggled to make ends meet – taking her on cheap vacations in the south-west of England and giving her 15 cents (10p) a week pocket money.
She tells Britain’s Marie Claire magazine, “People think I’m lying… My dad was very much a struggling actor and spent more of his life as a postman, as a member of a Tarmac firm, as a van driver. He’d sell Christmas trees. Anything. That was my dad.
“We had these dreadful second-hand cars that would always die a death, or we’d go on holiday to Cornwall, come back and it would have been nicked (stolen). It’s like a Joe Orton farce, my family. Honestly, it was hand-me-down shoes and 10p pocket money on a Saturday that didn’t go up until I was 11.”
Penn Files For Separation From Wife
Awwww I thought that they had sorted it out and were going to give it another go after there appearance together at the Oscars.
Sean Penn has filed for legal separation from his wife of 13 years, Robin Wright Penn.
News of the split comes just two days after the couple’s 13th wedding anniversary, and just months after they reunited. Penn originally filed for divorce back in 2007.
The actor first fuelled rumours of a second split when he failed to mention Wright Penn during his Best Actor acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in February.
Then last month, he was rumoured to be romancing actress Natalie Portman.
Those reports were denied by sources close to Penn, but on Friday he filed court documents to make their separation official, according to ExtraTV.com.
The couple share 18-year-old daughter, Dylan, and 15-year-old son Hopper. They sought joint custody of their kids during their 2007 divorce proceedings.
News: Douglas Recovering From Knee Surgery
Awww poor Michael, hope he recovers quickly.
Veteran actor Michael Douglas is recovering from surgery after having his knee replaced.
The Basic Instinct star, 64, found himself limping around on the set of his forthcoming film Solitary Man and was instructed by doctors to go under the knife to remedy the problem.
He says, “I had my knee replaced, I have an artificial knee. A little bit of Pvc, plastic pipes with titanium rods. It’s four weeks old.
“I had a skiing accident years and years ago and it just wore down. It finally got to a point where I had a limp and I had to do it. So it’s four weeks old. I’ve got another couple of months (of recovery) but I’ll be fine.”
Douglas is already back on his feet and he credits his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones with helping to make his recovery all the more comfortable.
He adds, “She turned out to be fantastic, it’s like a test to see how good your wife is, but she’s been fantastic. But I couldn’t get her into the nurse’s outfit!”
But Douglas’ father, legendary actor Kirk Douglas, wasn’t so kind and poked fun at his injury: “After this fairly serious operation, I go see him and he said, ‘How you doing?’ and I said, ‘Pretty good dad’, and he goes, ‘You know, when I had my double knee replacement, I was 88!’”
News: LaBeouf In Talks To Take Over Sheen’s Greedy Role
I think Shia LeBeouf would be a really good choice for the second Wall Street movie.
Shia LaBeouf is in talks to take over Charlie Sheen‘s role as a desperate young stockbroker in the forthcoming sequel to 1987 film Wall Street.
LaBeouf is negotiating with bosses at 20th Century Fox to join Michael Douglas, who’s been recast by director Oliver Stone for Wall Street 2, a follow-up to the Oscar-winning drama, reports Variety.
Sheen starred as Bud Fox in the original, about a young broker struggling to get to the top while surrounded by greed and corruption.
The original film’s stars received mixed reviews. Douglas won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as ruthless Wall Street player Gordon Gekko while Daryl Hannah‘s performance earned her a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress.

Its nice to see it will get a place in a film festival, to get it out there nice and early.
The film Heath Ledger was making when he died last year is set to premiere at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival in France after becoming a last-minute screening.
Film fans and the media are expected to flock to Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus when it opens on the eve of a day of publicity on 22 May.
The film will not be among those competing for film festival prizes.
As well as Ledger, the film features Christopher Plummer, Verne Troyer, Lily Cole and Tom Waits and Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law, who stepped in to complete the tragic actor’s scenes.
Ledger died from an accidental drug overdose in January 2008.

News: Douglas Back To The Bank For Wall Street 2
I think this is fantastic news I love Michael !!!
Michael Douglas is heading back to Wall Street – he will return to the big screen as evil moneyman Gordon Gekko.
Rumours of a sequel to the hit 1987 movie have mounted since the collapse of the modern global banking system – with film fans suggesting it is the perfect time for Douglas to reprise his Oscar-winning role as the ruthless banking boss.
And the actor has listened to cinemagoers’ demands – agreeing to team up with director Oliver Stone again to shoot Wall Street 2.
20th Century Fox will begin filming in the summer.
A spokesman for the studio says, “We need to keep the story line under wraps, but it’s literally ripped from today’s headlines. It’s going to be very big and very cool.”
And Douglas can’t wait to get back into his red braces, recently saying: “Gordon Gekko is a great, old-fashioned villain. And, interestingly enough, if you look at most actors’ careers, their biggest achievement, not necessarily success… is playing a bad guy.”

Roberts’ Rude Tribute To Pal Hanks
Only Jules could get away with saying something like this !!!
Julia Roberts paid a bizarre X-rated tribute to acting pal Tom Hanks at a New York gala in his honour on Monday night.
Hanks was the guest of honour at the Film Society of Lincoln Center Gala Tribute, attended by a star-studded audience of friends and former colleagues.
After entertainment, including a performance by Bruce Springsteen and his wife Patti Scialfa, Roberts, who appeared alongside Hanks in 2007 movie Charlie Wilson’s War, stepped onstage to toast her pal with a hilarious, foul-mouthed rant.
After starting with the line, “Ok, it’s late and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee,” the Pretty Woman star noted, “Everybody f**king likes you”, and then complimented Hanks’ wife Rita Wilson‘s breasts, figure and perfect butt before giving a critique of some of the star’s less acclaimed movies.
She joked, “Tom Hanks, what the f**k? Bosom buddies, people… (I’m a) big fan, big fan. I saw Turner and Hooch, The Money Pit… You in the airport with the accent (The Terminal) – it was a pass for me.”
She then added, “I’m wearing the same f**king dress, tonight, as your publicist!”
But Roberts ended on a sincere note, telling Hanks and the audience, “I love you. You do something that two other people on the planet do… Tom can walk into any room and make you feel like you’re in your living room, make you feel comfortable… make you feel like there’s a reason you’re on the planet. That’s a true gift. That’s not acting… it’s heart and compassion.”
Spacey Visits Abramoff Behind Bars
I think this is really interesting to see what different actors do to prepare for a role. Plus I love Kevin Spacey a lot !!!
Actor Kevin Spacey visited a federal prison in Maryland on Monday to meet with disgraced Washington, D.C. lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The two-time Oscar winner is preparing to play Abramoff in a new movie.
Con man Abramoff is serving time behind bars for his part in an influence-peddling scandal in the heart of American politics.
The 50-year-old businessman is scheduled to be released at the end of 2011.
He pleaded guilty to three criminal felony counts in a Washington, D.C., federal court in January, 2006.
Abramoff was charged in the defrauding of American Indian tribes and corruption of public officials.
Rourke Broke His Hand Wrestling Jericho
Awwww poor Mickey !!!
Mickey Rourke‘s wrestling match with Chris Jericho was no easy victory – the actor walked out of the ring with a broken hand.
Rourke went head-to-head with the professional grappler earlier this month at the WWE’s Wrestlemania 25 in Houston, Texas, following a bitter and public war of words with Jericho.
The star, who won a string of awards for his performance in The Wrestler, stunned fans after standing up from his seat in the crowd to clamber over the guard ropes and deliver a punch that left Jericho reeling.
But although Rourke admits he played up the smackdown for the cameras, he was left with a fracture in his hand.
He tells the New York Daily News, “I’m all healed up now. I kept my hand open when I punched so I wouldn’t hurt him.”
And Rourke insists he and his fellow tough man have resolved their dispute off-camera: “Chris and I went out for drinks after. We’re all good now.”
Tatum To Sink His Teeth Into Eclipse Role?
I would just love this !!!
Heartthrob Robert Pattinson is facing some serious competition – movie bosses are eyeing pin-up Channing Tatum for a lead role in the vampire franchise’s third outing Eclipse.
Pattinson has become one of Hollywood’s hottest young stars since he landed the role of bloodsucker Edward Cullen in Twilight.
But it could be time for the young Brit to stand in the sidelines – screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is desperate to sign former model Tatum as nasty vampire Riley.
She tells E! Online, “There’s a very big battle at the end with Riley, and I think Channing would do that so well.
“And there are some complexities to that character. He really is tragic. He’s a puppet for Victoria (vampire character). So he has to break your heart a little bit at the end when he realises that she doesn’t want him. Channing could do that beautifully.”
Jackman Considered Quitting X-men
I bet he is glad he did not quit !!!
Australian actor Hugh Jackman contemplated walking away from the X-men franchise after the third movie – because he feared his character Wolverine had gone too “soft”.
Jackman reprises his role as the superhero in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the fourth movie of the cult series.
But the film almost didn’t happen, because after Jackman had completed 2006′s X-Men: The Last Stand he considered stepping down from the role amid concerns over his character’s development.
He says, “One thing I never felt we got with Wolverine that I really wanted to get is that berserker rage which is talked about in the comic books.
“It felt like Wolverine had got a little soft by X-Men 3 and I wanted to take it back to that bad a** quality. He’s tough, he’s gruff, he’s not politically correct – he doesn’t say the right things.
“There has to be complexity to this character. He’s very tough but there’s a lot of pain, history to his life that you find out about. It’s not pretty. He’s a flawed character. That’s what I like about it, that’s why I’m doing it for the fourth time or else I wouldn’t.”
Nicholson Talks At Daughter’s University
This is like the coolest thing EVER !!!
Hollywood heavyweight Jack Nicholson made a special visit to his daughter’s university campus on Saturday to discuss his acting career with students.
Nicholson was part of a panel including producers Robert Evans, Brad Grey and former studio boss Peter Bart, which hosted the Ivy League Film Festival session at Rhode Island’s Brown University.
Students were shown clips of movies the four have been involved with and lectured on loyalty and artistic integrity, reports the New York Post.
After the panel, Nicholson got the chance to catch up with 19-year-old Lorraine, his daughter with ex-girlfriend Rebecca Broussard.
Pattinson Became An Actor To Pick Up Women
I would imagine he would have no trouble picking up women now.
Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson decided to become an actor after his dad convinced him it would help him pick up women.
The 22-year-old is among Tinseltown’s hottest new stars, thanks to his lead role in cult vampire franchise Twilight.
But he may never have been an actor at all, had his dad not pushed him to try his hand at London’s Barnes Theatre Company – so he could hang out with girls.
Pattinson says, “(My dad) saw a bunch of pretty girls who were going to it. (He) said: ‘Hey Rob, you’ve got to go to that.’ That’s the reason I still do it!”
