    Alice In Wonderland director Tim Burton’s next project is to direct a 3D version of The Addams Family, according to reports.

    The legendary film-maker will direct a stop-motion animated flick based on the original drawings of Charles Addams about the gothic family.

    According to Deadline, Illumination Entertainment has got the rights to the Addams drawings.

    It is claimed the new movie will be unrelated to previous adaptations, such as the TV series in the 60s as well as the two 90s movies starring Angelica Huston and Raul Julia.

    Chris Meledandri from Illumination will produce and Kevin Miserocchi from the Tee and Charles Addams Foundation will be the executive producer.

    Burton’s last animated movie was Corpse Bride but his most well-known was The Nightmare Before Christmas.

  • Kate Winslets marriage reportedly hit the rocks after making movie with hubby

    SPL163157_001

    Kate Winslet’s marriage to director Sam Mendes hit trouble when they worked together on movie Revolutionary Road, according to reports.

    The Hollywood couple recently announced their separation in a statement saying the decision to split was “amicable and mutual”.

    Mendes directed the movie with wife Winslet, 34, co-starring with Leonardo DiCaprio, in 2008.

    A source said to UK newspaper Daily Mirror: “Working and living together was incredibly intense and it basically overwhelmed their relationship.

    “The pair have a very different work ethos. Whereas Sam wanted to switch off after a long day, Kate liked to analyse every nuance of her performance. It was just too much.”

    SPL145219_003

    X Factor judge Simon Cowell will marry fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy in Italy later this year, according to US reports.

    The 51-year-old music mogul proposed to make-up artist Hussainy, 36, earlier this year and reports now say the ceremony is set for the spring and will take place in Venice.

    A source said to website BettyConfidential: “It is a perfect time of year for Simon to be able to enjoy his wedding, honeymoon and time off as a newlywed before he starts devoting his schedule to The X Factor.”

    The couple live together in LA but reports claim they ruled out marrying there or Hussainy’s native Afghanistan. They then thought about Rome before eventually deciding on Venice.

    The source added: “It’s perfect. It’s romantic and historical.”

    AFNY 161106 A

    American football legend Emmitt Smith was reduced to tears as he traced his family’s history during a new US TV show.

    The Dallas Cowboys great discovered that he was descended from slaves and a white slave-owner in the US premiere of Who Do You Think You Are?

    Smith shed tears as he stood by the unmarked site of his great-great-grandfather’s grave, on the outskirts of a white cemetery in Burnt Corn, Alabama.

    “I am glad I do not have his heart. And I am glad he never got to know me,” an emotional Smith said when he found out he was a descendent of a white slave-owner.

    Smith was told that he was 81 per cent African and that his ancestors were originally from the region of Benin, on West Africa’s infamous Slave Coast.

    In the programme, Smith visited Africa with his wife to trace his slave roots.

    He said: “This has been such a powerful journey for me and I feel like my eyes have been opened wide.

    “I feel good, I feel like I have been cleansed. History is my story now.”

    Other celebrities slated to be taking part in the show are former Friends star Lisa Kudrow, Sarah Jessica Parker and hubby Matthew Broderick, director Spike Lee, and actresses Susan Sarandon and Brooke Shields.

  • Kendra Wilkinson struggled to accept her new body after giving birth

    SPL107496_040

    Reality star Kendra Wilkinson says she struggled to accept her new body after the birth of her son.

    The 24-year-old former Playboy model gave birth to son Hank IV in December and had her pals over shortly afterwards.

    It didn’t help that those friends included her former Girls Next Door co-star Holly Madison and Playboy star Tiffany Fallon.

    She told Us Weekly: “I had my friends over, and it was bad timing. They were really hot and had really nice bodies.”

    Wilkinson added that she was afraid her husband Hank Baskett would prefer their bodies.

    She said: “I was just hoping Hank didn’t look at them! Having a different body was such a culture shock. I’m so used to being hot and fit.”

    The Runaways star Kristen Stewart says she would love to host Saturday Night Live.

    The 19-year-old admitted she’d like a turn at hosting the show, but would find it “really, really scary”.

    She told E! Online: “They haven’t asked me to do it. I would love to say yes for sure, but that is really, really scary.

    Her Twilight co-star, Taylor Lautner, has already hosted the show but her other co-star Robert Pattinson is yet to take a turn.

  • Alexander McQueen’s last collection previews to rave reviews in Paris

    RANY 010506 B

    The last, unfinished collection of Alexander McQueen has previewed in Paris to rave reviews.

    McQueen’s 16-piece autumn/winter collection was shown to an exclusive clutch of fashion scribes on Tuesday.

    The fashion designer, deeply depressed, took his own life at the age of 40 in his Mayfair apartment in London in February. Fashion’s elite, gathered in Paris for its Fashion Week, is in mourning.

    His last creations are inspired by paintings of the Old Masters, according to Christina Binkley of the Wall Street Journal. She writes: “Entire works of art by Botticelli, Jean Fouquet and Hans Memling were photographed and woven into jacquards, imprinted on silks or embroidered onto garments.”

    AFP reports the appearance of the first model in McQueen’s showing caused audible gasps. The Times’ fashion director Hilary Alexander said: “The showing was an emphatic demonstration of the intense skill and artistry of McQueen, but all the more tragic for being such a brief and poignant reminder of what the fashion world has lost.”

  • Tiger Woods’ cheated wife talked out of filing for divorce by twin sister

    SPL145634_001

    Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren was reportedly talked out of filing for divorce by her twin sister.

    The Swedish ex-model was about to go for a formal split from the shamed golf star. But she changed her mind after speaking with Josefin Lonnborg who jetted to Florida to be with her.

    Elin, 30, had hired an Orlando-area divorce attorney after her husband’s secret affairs emerged.

    But Josefin, a lawyer, convinced her sister not to take radical action. The two are extremely close and Josefin persuaded Elin not to file divorce papers while her emotions were raw.

    “Elin wanted to file right away,” a source said. “She was devastated when the first mistress was revealed but when she realised he had betrayed her throughout the marriage, she was furious and she wanted out. But Josefin has been by her side through every crisis, and at every key moment during all of this.”

    When Elin travelled to Gentle Path rehab centre in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for Tiger’s therapy, Josefin took care of the couple’s two children, Sam, two, and 18-month-old Charlie.

    “When more and more women came forward, it was Josefin who told Elin not to file divorce papers out of anger – that she could always file them later,” the source said.

    “When Tiger told Elin he really wanted to change and would do anything to save the marriage, it was Josefin who convinced her sister to give him a chance.”

    The stunning blonde is reportedly planning to move back into the family’s £1.3 million home in Windermere, Orlando, after spending the last few months in a rented mansion nearby.

  • Glee star Jane Lynch – it was ‘dream come true’ to work with Meryl Streep

    SPL125587_009

    Glee star Jane Lynch said it was a ‘dream come true’ to work with Meryl Streep on Julie & Julia.

    The 39-year-old actress can currently be seen on screens playing the role of Sue Sylvester on the US show Glee.

    She previously appeared opposite Streep in the hit movie Julie & Julia.

    Lynch said: “Meryl is my idol, she’s awesome. It was great – a dream come true. It was a joy meeting her, if intimidating, but I really tried to shut that part of it out.

    “I did my best just to act like a normal person. When you come down to it, she’s an actor like everybody else, just a really good one! So I was a little nervous going in, but she made me feel really at home.”

  • Molly Ringwald’s dieting rule of thumb

    SPL163186_005

    Molly Ringwald, 42, turned out at the Oscars in a slender, Trojan-style gown that made the recent birth of her twins seem eons away.

    But the actress laid her fine form to working out and a simple rule of thumb. Always choose something green.

    She told People Magazine: “I try to make sure that I eat something green. I think that’s just a really good rule of thumb. I love all different kinds of vegetables, but the green ones are generally the best for you and the best for your diet.”

    Ringwald, who stars in The Secret Life Of The American Teenager, just eight months ago gave birth to Adele Georgiana and Roman Stylianos. She said that getting into her current Oscars shape was a matter of “Just dieting basically. And it wasn’t even like a really strict diet. It was more just a sensible diet, cutting down on sweets and upping the vegetables and protein, less starch, and I just worked out a lot, I’d say about three or four times a week.”

  • Katy Perry’s film debut

    It looks like getting married does not impair Katy Perry from getting a bit of diversity into her career. The singer will be getting into acting, but she is starting out slow at first by doing some voice acting. The character Katy Perry will be doing however is a very interesting choice: Smurfette. Yes, it looks like there will be a new animated movie with the loveable blue creatures and Katy Perry will be among them as the only female representative. Russell Brand must be so proud of her… in fact, it would be a shame if he didn’t join in the group as well. He’d probably make a mean Gargamel.

  • Charlize Theron’s ’style boob’ Oscars dress is talk of town

    SPL163350_001

    Charlize Theron’s 1940s-style Oscars gown has landed her on a myriad of worst-dressed lists.

    The sultry South African beauty chose satin rosettes that encircled her covered nipples in an unusual move that set her lilac-toned dress far apart from the glittering crowd.

    Just when it seemed women’s breasts were becoming unremarkable, the dress has been tagged a “style boob” and “controversial”. Theron, a past Oscar-winner, in footage from the audience at the ceremony seemed to pick up on the vibe early on. Her expression was uncertain and flat.

    Joan Rivers lambasted the dress, which was designed by John Galliano for Dior, as that featuring Cinnabon cakes, TimesLive reports.

    South African designer Abigail Keats said: “A very controversial dress. What is the point of those roses? Honestly, they look stupid. So many South African designers would [have been] honoured to dress her but instead she attends the Oscars in this? Why?”

    South Africa fashion blogger Jacquie Myburgh Chemaly wrote: “Sadly, Charlize Theron gets my worst-dressed award at this year’s Oscars. Dior’s lilac creation with Chelsea bun breast rosettes and a train is just horrible.”

    Cape Town designer Malcolm Kluk, who has dressed Theron, said: “I’m hoping it’s just a bad picture. She usually has very good taste in clothes. It might be part of her contract with Dior to wear what they tell her.”

    But US stylist and fashion commentator Mary Alice Stephenson said: “Charlize’s dress was really dramatic. Love it or hate it, you want to talk about it.”

  • Zoe Saldana says she ‘can’t live without’ sex

    SPL163189_024

    Avatar star Zoë Saldana has turned the air blue by admitting that she “loves” sex, “can’t live without it”, and won’t rule out filming an X-rated scene.

    The cheeky 31-year-old makes her comments in the latest issue of Essence – a US magazine.

    Running through the A to Z of her life, Saldana said the letter S is for sex.

    “Love it, love it, love it,” she says in the April issue. “Can’t live without it.

    “I love sex. I love skin. I don’t believe the body is something to hide.

    “I think in American society we’re messing up our kids by taking away the education on and awareness of our sexuality and replacing it with violence, guns and video games – and we’re breeding little criminals.”

    And, asked whether she would ever do a graphic sex scene, Saldana says: “If you asked a painter, ‘Are you going to paint in red?’ the answer would be, ‘I’m going to paint paintings and if one day there is red in it, there’s red in it’.”

    The actress, who stars in upcoming movie The Losers, has been with her actor boyfriend Keith Britton for a decade, but says she is not the romantic type.

    “I’m more of a punch-drunk-love kind of girl. I mean punch as in that pow, that jolt, that kick in the gut. I like things that are severe, passionate and extreme.”

  • Mo’Nique speaks about refusal to shave hairy legs

    MoNique photoAcademy Award winner Mo’Nique has spoken out about a prickly subject – her refusal to shave her hairy legs.

    The 42-year-old star says she tried to trim her leg hair once but never again.

    She said: “If you have seen my legs, I am 42 and I’m very hairy.

    “The older you get, your hair drops off.

    “So as a younger woman, I was even hairier.

    “I tried shaving one time and it was so uncomfortable and so painful. When it grew back, it grew back even thicker and more of it.

    “I said never again would I do that to myself.”

    Interviewed for Barbara Walters Oscar Special, the host asked how her husband feels about her grooming habit.

    “He loves the hairy legs,” said Mo’Nique.

  • Sean Penn says his Haiti mission critics can get cancer for all he cares

    Rogue actor Sean Penn raged over critics who say his Haiti rescue mission was a bid to raise his profile.

    Penn, who was credited with rescuing a woman and child in the earthquake-ravaged nation, told CBS News his critics could get rectal cancer for all he cared.

    He said: “I guess I’ve been so away from it all and our tent camp in Haiti that I haven’t had an awful lot of time to pay attention to them. Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I’m not going to spend a lot of energy on it.”

    Digital Spy reports the actor pointed out that his 18-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son joined the Haiti mission. He explained: “I think they’ve had the experience, as I have, that the first person served by the service is the server. You know, there’s nobody in the world that isn’t looking for a kind of purpose in life, and tangible purpose is the most immediately recognisable. There’s no time that you’re over there, there’s not something to do to lend a hand.”

  • James Earl Jones will never retire from acting

    Hollywood actor James Earl Jones has said he will never retire and is just a ‘jobbing actor’.

    The 79-year-old star is probably best known for being the voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies and is currently playing the role of Big Daddy in the West End production of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof in London.

    He has been nominated for best actor at the Laurence Olivier Awards and, at the nominations lunch in London, he said: “I’m a jobbing actor. I never know what I’m doing next.

    “And I’ll never retire. I love stage acting but I don’t think I can afford it – it doesn’t pay as well as film acting. We have to bring our own sandwiches in for lunch.”
