    SPL118464_020

    Hollywood star Brad Pitt has spoken out for the first time about his recent motorbike accident.

    The hunky actor took a tumble off his custom-made favourite bike in Los Angeles as he tried to squeeze between a car and a van.

    The bike had to be towed away from the scene, but Pitt escaped the fall injury free.

    Now Pitt has revealed the only hurt in the spill was his ego as he spoke about the accident while promoting his movie Inglourious Basterds in Tokyo.

    He said: “I had a little mishap. No injuries, except my ego. I was trying to get away from some paparazzi and instead gave them a good story.

    “It was my favorite bike, so that is really sad.”

    But, Pitt added, he is already looking for another bike to add to his collection.

    He said: “I will definitely be looking at motorcycles. You’ve got some of the best builders right here.”

  • Ashton Kutcher: Tired of sex scenes

    Ashton Kutcher says that he was fed up shooting sex scenes for his new movie Spread, in which he plays a gigolo opposite Anne Heche.

    The 31-year-old says that his character had to make love to women so often onscreen that he has got bored of it.

    “I never thought in my entire life that anything related to sex in any way would be something I’d get tired of,” says the actor.

    “But I was shooting so many sex scenes that I was actually getting tired of [them].

    “’Do we HAVE to shoot another sex scene? Oh, come on! MORE attractive women naked and all over me?’

    The What Happens In Vegas star added: “We finally got to the point where we’d run out of positions.

    “Everybody on the set was out of ideas, so we were consulting the Kama Sutra.”

  • Eddie Cibrian breaks silence about alleged affair with LeAnn Rimes

    The CSI: Miami star, whose wife Brandi Glanville has left him, has admitted he is “not perfect”.

    But the hunky TV star, who met married Rimes when the pair filmed a steamy movie for Lifetime TV channel, has stopped short of admitting cheating.

    The Cuban-American father-of-two said: “I don’t know how people perceive me.

    “What I do know is when you reach a certain point in your career, you’re placed in this unfair fishbowl. Things unfortunately get magnified. We are all human, we are all not perfect. The fact is, I love my family dearly, and I’m a great father. It just saddens me that this is hurtful and being played out publicly.”

    Cibrian’s marriage crumbled after photos of him and Rimes enjoying a cosy meal together were published.

    During the three-hour tryst, they were seen kissing and holding hands – mirroring their on-screen romance. Video footage also appeared to show the two smooching outside the restaurant.

    Rimes and her husband of seven years, dancer Dean Sheremet, are reportedly working out their marital issues.

  • Gerard Butler says he wasn’t getting cosy with co-star Jennifer Aniston

    Scottish hunk Gerard Butler has hit back at claims he is seeing co-star Jennifer Aniston, saying he only spoke to her for four minutes before rumours they were dating emerged.

    The 39-year-old is currently filming The Bounty with the Friends star.

    Butler said: “In the last year, there have probably been rumours of ten different women I’m supposed to be involved with. I think maybe one is true.

    “You can walk around with a hundred of your buddies and it’s cool, but the second there’s a woman involved… But the new one is Jennifer Aniston. It’s because she’s single and I’m single.

    “The sum total of our conversation was about four minutes at the Toronto Film Festival.

    “The next day, the story is: ‘Gerry Butler and Jennifer Aniston get cosy at the Toronto Film Festival.’ Cosy? We were standing up and surrounded by 40 people.”

    Before becoming Hollywood’s latest leading man, the Scot was heading for a legal career.

    Butler’s legal career was cut short and his transition to actor eased when he was fired from a law firm a week before he was supposed to qualify as a lawyer.

    He was sacked during the Edinburgh Festival when his mind was on things other than work.

    “I became quite infamous in Scottish legal circles,” he says. It’s very difficult to be fired as a trainee lawyer – they just don’t qualify you at the end of two years. But they actually fired me one week before I was due to qualify.”

  • Hollywood actor Ethan Hawke says it’s a childhood ambition to perform at Old Vic

    Hollywood actor Ethan Hawke says he is fulfilling a childhood ambition to perform at London’s Old Vic.

    The 38-year-old movie star is taking to the stage in London in The Cherry Orchard and The Winter’s Tale.

    He said: “I remember, for my 16th birthday, my mother gave me Laurence Olivier’s autobiography or his book on acting, and it was chock-a-block full of stories from The Old Vic and I think it implanted in my brain the dream scenario so to actually be walking those halls is a lot of fun.”

    Hawke said he loves London: “There is something magic about this city. I have been here, but just travelling on business, and so to actually be here and to be doing theatre in a city that cares so much about theatre, it is everything I dreamed it would be.”

    He added: “Movies are wonderful because so many people see them and it is really the art form of our time. But for me, it is so much more difficult to act in a play and so much more challenging, and in turn, it’s so much more rewarding,” he added.

  • David Carradine’s ex wife tells of her shock at his death

    The ex-wife of David Carradine has revealed she is ‘totally shocked’ by the Kill Bill star’s mysterious death.

    The actor was reportedly found by a maid in his hotel room in Bangkok but there are varying reports about his death.

    Some reports claim he died of natural causes, but other reports claim local police have revealed he possibly committed suicide and was found with a rope around his neck.

    Now Carradine’s fourth wife Marina Anderson – who married the film legend on the Warner Brother’s lot in 1998 before they divorced in 2001 – has insisted there is ’something wrong’ about his tragic death.

    Anderson said: “I cannot believe the star took his own life. I feel something is wrong – David was always very happy when he was filming.

    “So, I don’t understand why he would commit suicide at this time… This is such sad news I’m devastated about David’s passing, and I know there will be a lot of speculation about the circumstances of his death.”

    Anderson says she and Carradine had still kept in touch over the years despite their split.

    She added: “We stayed on good terms since our divorce and I can’t believe that he is gone – I’m in a state of shock at hearing this news.

    “Obviously, I’m sad for his children whom I understand are being comforted by other relatives.”

  • Twilight director joins up with actor Emile Hirsch to take on Hamlet

    Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke is teaming up with Emile Hirsch to produce a modern-day version of Hamlet.

    Proposed by Hirsch, Shakespeare’s story will be transported to a liberal arts college on the US East Coast.

    Hirsch, 24, will play Hamlet, the son of the university’s president.

    He returns for his father’s funeral only to learn that his uncle has taken his dad’s post and is suspected of arranging his murder.

    A film script has yet to be written, but Hardwicke is excited about making the film – even though she never imagined herself working on Shakespeare.

    “I had never thought of it at all, until Emile mentioned the idea,” she says.

    “At first, I thought it was scary and crazy and then we read it aloud and I knew how to do it.”

    The director – who worked with Hirsch on Lords of Dogtown – says: “You will understand everything without having a copy of Shakespeare for Dummies with you.”

  • More Gossip Girl Music

    It seems that Blake Lively is the only actor on the cast of ‘Gossip Girl’ without an up and coming music career. We all know about Taylor Momsen, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick singing, now, Penn Badgley is talking about his own musical aspirations. The actor admits to love music and writing his own material. Don’t expect to hear any of his sweet sounds though as he has decided to stick to acting for the time being. Thank you for sparing me from having to listen to another wannabe! Penn said “I mean music is my first passion, but because of that I don’t really want to just take a first step in the wrong direction. At the moment, I just want to be sensible about what I do. I just write and I play, and that’s all I need for myself right now.” Maybe they could have a ‘Gossip Girl’ musical episode.

  • Julia Roberts drops the F-word twice as she honours pal Tom Hanks

    Oscar winning star Julia Roberts stunned an audience of fellow celebrities by dropping the F word twice while honouring pal Tom Hanks.

    Hanks was being presented with the Chaplin Award at the 36th annual Film Society of Lincoln Center Gala by Roberts when she stole the show.

    As Roberts took to the stage to introduce Hanks she said: “It’s late, and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee.

    “So, everybody f****** likes you.”

    Then assessing his 2004 movie The Terminal, in which Hanks played an Eastern European trapped in Immigration at J.F.K., Roberts said: “That movie about you and the airport and the accent was a pass for me.

    “Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn’t know. I love you, but I didn’t know and I’m wearing the same f****** dress tonight as your publicist.”

    As Hanks took to the podium, he told the black-tie crowd that Roberts has so much clout that the big story of the evening would be: “Julia Roberts wears same dress as publicist.”

    He then added: “Julia Roberts has the biggest potty mouth you have ever heard.”

    Hanks, who has appeared in such movies as The Da Vinci Code, Castaway, Saving Private Ryan and Forrest Gump, accepted his award with many of his famous friends and co-stars in the audience.

    They included directors Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis and Mike Nicols and actresses Sally Field and Charlize Theron.
