Salma Hayek ::Talks "Doing It" With Puss in Boots'

Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek perched atop a giant pair of boots right on the beach in Nice promoting their upcoming animated flick, Puss in Boots, after screening clips of their still-in-production Shrek spinoff.
The Latin heartthrobs clearly have a bond. In fact, read on to hear why Salma says of Antonio, "I can feel him in the room when I'm doing it."

But Salma's billionaire hubby Francois-Henri Pinault needn't worry. The "doing it" she's alluding to is recording her dialogue in the studio solo. Seems the actors' hectic schedules haven't let them work together in the studio yet, though they should be doing so soon.
Both actors clearly adore their project, which Salma insists is "not the typical spinoff. It really has its own space and style and feel and sensation."
Antonio adds that he feels uplifted by the fact that fans stopped their Cannes screening 14 times with applause and laughter.

Shania Twain :: Lost her voice for shocking death of husbend


Country singer Shania Twain said on Tuesday that she was so shattered by the collapse of her marriage that she feared she would never sing again.
In her first TV interview in five years, Twain told Oprah Winfrey that she became "an emotional mess" when she found out in 2008 that her best friend and her husband had fallen for each other.
"I figured mentally that I would never sing again," the five-time Grammy Award winner told Winfrey. Twain said she not only lost her husband, but her producer and co-writer when she split with in Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
"I hadn't written a song without this man in 14 years....How do I even get started?," she said in an interview won The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Twain, whose 1997 album "Come on Over" was a huge crossover hit, revealed that she also suffers from dysphonia, an ailment where the muscles squeeze the voice box.
"My fears and anxieties throughout my whole life have been slowly squeezing my voice," Twain told Winfrey. "I was losing it slowly and progressively."
Twain chronicles the demise of her 14-year marriage and her fight to get her voice back in a new book "From This Moment On" and a documentary series "Why Not?" that debuts on Sunday on Winfrey's cable TV network OWN.
She also announced on Tuesday that she would be attending the Country Music Association festival in Nashville in June -- and handed out passes to Winfrey's studio audience.
In her memoir and TV documentary, the Canadian singer recounts how she grew up poor and witnessed her step-father physically abuse her mother on a regular basis only to see them both die in a car accident, leaving Twain to raise her siblings.
Twain called her husband's betrayal "a trigger crisis," and "the straw that broke the camel's back of something that had already been building."
Eventually, Twain found solace with Frederic Thiebaud, the husband of the woman who was once her best friend. The two married on Jan 1.

Natalie Portman :: Dad's Bizarre Novel

As Natalie Portman enters the final trimester of her pregnancy, her father, a reproductive specialist, is shopping his debut novel. From micropenises to incestuous in vitro, Marlow Stern unearths the most ridiculous parts of the self-described “fertility-thriller.”
While tearfully accepting her Best Actress Oscar for Black Swan, a pregnant Natalie Portman thanked “my beautiful love Benjamin Millepied, who choreographed the film and has now given me my most important role of my life.” But before gushing about her fiancĂ©, Portman thanked her parents “for giving [her] the opportunity to work from such an early age.” Around the same time, Portman’s father, Dr. Avner Hershlag was working too… on his self-published debut novel, Misconception.
One of the country’s most renowned reproductive specialists, the Yale-educated Hershlag is Director of the Donor Egg and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, Director of Fertility Laboratories, and Medical Director of the In Vitro Fertilization Program at the Center for Human Reproduction in North Shore, Long Island. Clearly, he knows a lot about making babies and hopefully for Portman, her situation is far from the plot of Misconception.
Dr. Hershlag’s debut novel is set in Washington D.C. and centers on Dr. Anya Krim, the fertility specialist for the President and his wife. She delivers a deformed baby with “ambiguous genitalia” who later goes missing and its mother is found dead. Krim then discovers Megan Tanner, a senator’s daughter who has been in a coma for two years, is also pregnant. Senator Tanner is the Majority Whip, and chairman of a senate committee overhearing a controversial Embryonic Stem Cell Bill in Congress. If Dr. Krim—a rape victim herself—didn’t have enough on her petri dish, the First Lady’s last-ditch effort to conceive goes haywire when her embryos are kidnapped from the lab.


And that’s only the beginning.

Lindsay Lohan: Paying $75,000 bond for released from jail


Lindsay Lohan, accused of stealing a necklace, spent five hours in custody before posting a $75,000 bond Friday evening after a judge sentenced her to 120 days in jail for violating her drunk driving probation.
Her release from Los Angeles County's Lynwood Correctional Facility capped a long day that included a victory for the actress when a judge reduced the felony grand theft charge to a misdemeanor.
Lohan will remain free on bond while her lawyer appeals the jail sentence for the probation violation, but she must immediately start serving 480 hours of community service, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner said.
The community service, includes 360 hours at a downtown Los Angeles women's center, which Judge Sautner suggested might cause Lohan to behave better after seeing "how truly needy women and women who have fallen on real hard times have to live."
She must complete another 120 hours of community service at the Los Angeles County morgue.
The judge ruled Friday that the necklace theft case against Lohan will go forward to trial, but the felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor.
"I'm going to give her an opportunity," Sautner said.
Sautner did not buy the defense argument that Lohan accidentally walked out of a Venice, California, jewelry store wearing a necklace that later appeared around her neck in photographs taken five days later.
"If in fact it was an accident, she could have called the store back," Sautner said.

Defense attorney Shawn Holley argued that Lohan was busy and scattered when she was at the store and absent-mindedly walked out with the necklace.
"It's undisputed that Ms. Lohan walked out of the store with the necklace on," Holley said. The prosecution must show she had "specific intent to permanently deprive the store of that necklace."
While Holley conceded that Lohan "did not rush to return the necklace," but it just "makes her not a very considerate or courteous person."
"The fact that she may not have been a courteous or considerate person doesn't make her a thief," Holley said.
"I see the intent here and the level of brazenness to say 'Let me see what I can get away with here,' " Sautner said.
A police detective testified that Lohan's assistant handed the necklace to a police officer after learning through a website posting that police had obtained a search warrant hours earlier to search for it in her home.
Prosecutor Danette Meyers argued that "it doesn't take a rocket scientist" to realize Lohan returned the necklace to police because she knew her home was about to be searched.
Lohan's trial date was set for June 3, but she must return to court for a hearing May 11, the judge said.
A misdemeanor could still result in up to a year in prison for Lohan.
Before delivering the good news to Lohan about the reduction of the charge, the judge addressed her much-publicized misbehavior.
"She thumbs her nose at the court," Sautner said, referring to an incident with another judge last year. "She walks into court with 'F U' on her fingernails. I don't know what that means unless it has 'I am' before it."
The jeweler who accused Lohan of stealing the gold and diamond necklace testified Friday that she had not gotten any money from selling the security camera video of the actress in her store.

Lindsay Lohan: Playing Junior Gotti's wife

LiLo is joining the big screen Gotti family as the wife of John Gotti Jr. in a biopic of one of New York's most infamous families.
She called her casting in "Gotti: Three Generations" a huge honor and told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the film is an opportunity to prove herself as an actress again.
She said::
"I'm really excited to be back on set and clear up all the misinterpretations about me and show this is what I love to do," 
John Travolta has been cast to play John Gotti Sr., the mob family's patriarch who had a flair for style and a knack for avoiding convictions that earned him the name "Teflon Don." Joe Pesci will play one of his deputies.
The younger Gotti has insisted he left the mob life in the 1990s, but has been unsuccessfully tried four times on racketeering charges.
He sold the rights to his life story to Fiore Films, which is developing the film focusing on Junior Gotti's relationship with his father. It will be shot in New York and is set for a 2012 release.
LiLo made a surprise appearance at a press conference last week and was expected to be in the running to play the elder Gotti's daughter, Victoria. By Wednesday discussions for She playing that role had ended, but the actress successfully lobbied to remain on the project.
"I think it's such an iconic story," lindsay told the AP. "I think it's a great story to be told. I'm honored to be working with John Travolta and Joe Pesci."
Lohan's role as Kim Gotti has parallels to her own life, she said.
"You don't get to see the heart behind the story and the real side of people," she said of most mob movies, which she said veer toward shoot-'em-up fare.
 "I can relate to that because I think that I've been portrayed in a certain light. I just want to do my best to show what their family really went through."
Like the Gotti family, Lohan is no stranger to criminal troubles. She faces a felony grand theft case in Los Angeles after a jewelry store accused her of stealing a $2,500 necklace, and is due in court for a hearing on Friday.
She has rejected two plea deals in that case with guaranteed jail time, and could be incarcerated for violating her probation on a 2007 drunken driving case.
She said her legal troubles won't be a distraction.
"I think in the past, I had a lot of distractions," she said. "I've learned a lot. I've lived a lot. When I'm on set, it's about the film."
In addition to the Gotti project, Lohan will also appear in "Mob Street," a movie based on a screenplay by Chazz Palminteri.
"We're very pleased to have Lindsay on-board for both of these films," said Marc Fiore, who is executive producer of the "Gotti" film. "She has been very enthusiastic about the Gotti project, and after resuming discussions with her, we were impressed by her commitment to the film and felt she would be the perfect Kim Gotti."
Lohan also said she is excited about filming in her native New York.
"The energy of filming there , it just brings so much more life to the film," she said.

Natalie Portman ::Quits Veganism


"Your Highness" star Natalie Portman  who is expecting her first child with fiance Benjamin Millepied later this summer  is no longer a vegan.

"I actually went back to being vegetarian when I became pregnant, just because I felt like I wanted that stuff," she said during a Monday phone interview with the Q100 Bert Show in Atlanta. "I was listening to my body to have eggs and dairy and that sort of stuff."

"I know there are people who do stay vegan," she added, "but I think you have to just be careful, watch your iron levels and your B12 levels and supplement those if there are things you might be low in in your diet."

\

The Oscar-winning actress, who became a vegan in 2009 after reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals, she doesn't regret her decision to become a vegetarian again.

"If you're not eating eggs, then you can't have cookies or cake from regular bakeries, which can become a problem when that's all you want to eat," she laughed. "I actually wanted eggs at the beginning and then they grossed me out after awhile."

Kaie Holmes :: Failure not in her options

Actress Katie Holmes is desperately hoping that people tune in to her new TV show The Kennedys  the miniseries that airs Sundays on ReelzChannel.

In the show which was scrapped by The History Channel in January  Holmes plays Jackie Kennedy opposite Greg Kinnear as JFK.

Katie,who’s married to Tom Cruise , is keen for the project to be a success.

During a recent interview, Hows described the eight-part miniseries as “like a Greek tragedy” and said she admired Jackie’s devotion as a mother.

“I hope people find it and watch it,” Holmes said.

The show premiered this past weekend.

Meanwhile, Katie has revealed how she was left shocked when her daughter accidentally picked up some penis-shaped candy.

The actress was recently pictured treating Suri, three, to a trip to an ice cream parlor, where the little girl was seen grasping the rude candy, and insists she thought they were a type of US confectionery called Swedish Fish.

“Recently, I took her to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It’s for kids,” Katie said.

However, the brunette beauty was horrified when she realized her tot was holding a comedy packet of sweets shaped like male genitalia.

Spelling out the word, an embarrassed Katie said, “P-e-n-i-s gummies. I said, ‘Oh wow those aren’t Swedish Fish!’

They are called p-e-n-i-s gummies and they look like it. She was holding the box and I was like, ‘OK, wow, we don’t need that right now.’ “

The former Dawson’s Creek star was then left with a dilemma with how to take the offensive sweets away from Suri in case she asked what they were.

“I thought if I said, ‘Put that back!’ then she’s going to say, ‘What is this?’ and I really didn’t want to have that conversation,” she said.

She is still surprised a family-orientated establishment would sell such a lewd product.

I was like, ‘Why are they selling these here? This is for kids’,” she said.
