Brad Pitt looks "hot and amazing" n*ked, according to this ex-girlfriend

Brad Pitt looks ''hot and amazing'' naked, according to his ex-girlfriend Sinitta, who dated the Hollywood actor for two years in the late 1980s.


Brad Pitt looks "hot and amazing" naked, according to this ex-girlfriend Sinitta.

The 80s pop star - who dated the Hollywood actor for two years during the late 80s - had a great time with the 47-year-old hunk, though she remained coy over some of the details.

When asked what he was like, the 'So Macho' hitmaker told her fellow contestants on UK reality TV show 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!': "Hot. He was beautiful with the most amazing body. I saw him for two years. He was fun, he was young and very sweet."

Quizzed on the size of his penis, she joked to fellow contestant Dougie Poynter: "Much bigger than yours Dougie."

Sinitta admitted she ran into difficulties with some of Brad's fans over the romance.

She said: "Some ardent fan gave me a slap when I came out of a supermarket over that relationship! It was before he made 'Thelma and Louise' but even I saw that movie and thought, oh my God, what have I done!"

These days Sinitta is more well known for her romantic history - including a relationship she had with Simon Cowell after signing to his Fanfare Records label - but she insists she was always more famous than the men she dated.

She added: "None of them [Brad or Simon] were famous when I dated them, I was more famous than them. Simon Cowell is now a global superstar but I was his first artist, he was the record company and I was the pop star."

Five Hottest British Actresses

There is something undeniably irresistible about hot British actresses. Sure, part of it is the accent, no doubt. It is a real turn-on. But there is something else that makes guys fantasize about these beauties. In interviews, most seem so prim and proper that it makes you suspect that there might be a bit of a freak inside there; a part that you would love to bring out.
That is the dream, at least. British actresses have been coming across the pond even more in recent years and many times you would not even know that a favorite new actress of yours is a Brit until you end up hearing her interviewed on a late night talk show.

Kate Beckinsale – Kate is at the top of the list and she has been for some time. Although she is approaching the big four-O, Becks is as hot as ever. She is kind of like the British Jennifer Connelly; she is a woman who has kept her natural beauty intact over the years. Her mainstream American exposure came as Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck's love interest in the 2001's "Pearl Harbor.” Her sexiest role was as the sexy vampire warrior Selene in the first two “Underworld” films – a role she is set to reprise in 2012's “Underworld Awakening.” Her skin-tight, black latex/spandex/something-ex costume from “Underworld” shows off one of her best features – her terrific bum. Kate will also be starring as bad girl Lori in the “Total Recall” remake next year.

Keira Knightley – Keira has not been around forever, it just seems that way. She is still a mere lass of 26 and is a very accomplished actress. She burst upon the scene as damsel in distress Elizabeth Swann in 2003's “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” It turns out Keira could more than take care of herself as she wielded her sword, her wit and her incredible hotness in increasingly skimpy outfits through the first three “Pirates” films. She played sexy bounty hunter Domino Harvey in 2005's “Domino,” and has several films coming out in the next year. Keira is a straight-up fox who should be steaming up the big screen for many years to come.

Hayley Atwell – If you want humps and lovely lady lumps, Hayley's got them. This curvacious Brit has a body that just will not quit. She caught American eyes as Agent Peggy Carter in “Captain America: The First Avenger.” This beautifully well-endowed Brit is an actress you just can not take your eyes off of and seems destined to head straight to the top of A-list actresses.

Gemma Arterton – This 25-year-old bombshell got her big break as new Bond girl Strawberry Fields in 2008's “Quantum of Solace.” She followed that up with two hit films in 2010 when she appeared in “Clash of the Titans” and “Prince of Persia,” both of which allowed her to showcase her sexy assets in nicely revealing costumes. She also got erotic in “The Disappearance of Alice Creed” that same year as she had some fairly graphic nude scenes. This daughter of a maid and a welder who grew up in public housing in England has really made it big.

Emma Watson – Little Hermione sure has grown up. At  21 years old, Emma has spent half of her life playing the cute know-it-all sidekick to Harry Potter in all eight Potter films. With the Potter series over, Emma is moving her career into more adult-oriented films. She will appear in “My Week With Marilyn” at the end of this year and will star in the film adaptation of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” in 2012. The young hottie also models and is a student at Brown University (currently taking a break).

Katy Perry has beaten Emma Watson, Miley Cyrus to “Grease” remake role

Katy Perry has beaten Emma Watson, Miley Cyrus and Amanda Seyfried in a public vote for the best stars to cast in a remake of the classic 1978 movie, Grease.


Perry and Zac Efron are the people’s choice to succeed Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, who played Rydell High sweethearts, Sandy and Danny, in the original film of the 1950s throwback musical.

Such is the conclusion of an online poll, conducted by YouGov on behalf of Sing-a-long-a Grease (http://www.singalonga.net), which will tour both Canada and the UK during 2012, to mark the 40th anniversary of the original New York stage version of Grease in 1972.

We've seen recent remakes of both Fame and Footloose, two other Hollywood teen musicals of similar vintage to Grease, while a planned remake of Dirty Dancing has just been announced. Is Grease next?

"Justin Bieber revealed recently that the job he most wanted was the lead role of Danny in a remake of Grease, with Miley Cyrus as Sandy”, says Ben Freedman, producer of Sing-a-longa Grease. “But we wanted to know who the public wanted."

The answer is definitely not a pairing of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, which ranked just seventh when YouGov offered respondents the chance to pick it from a list of 10 celebrity pairs to play Sandy and Danny.

In fact, Cyrus polled far better when paired with Zac Efron, star of the High School Musical films, coming then in joint third position.

No less than four of the 10 pairs suggested in the poll featured Efron as Danny – and they promptly bagged the top four places, making Efron the clear choice to play Danny.

The pairing of Efron and Katy Perry, however, pipped the combination of Efron and Harry Potter star Emma Watson as the best pair to play Sandy and Danny. Then came Efron and Cyrus, Efron and Mama Mia’s Amanda Seyfried, and singer Taylor Swift with Twilight star, Robert Pattinson.

"Emma Watson has the same innocent, girl-next-door quality as Olivia Newton-John did in the original", says Freedman. "But the people now seem to prefer someone brasher and sexier, like Katy Perry."

Efron, the poster-boy for tweenyboppers, also has a more wholesome image than Perry. This would mean a kind of sexual role-reversal from the original movie, where Travolta's Danny was the bad boy and Newton-John’s Sandy the good girl.

"Maybe this reversal is a sign of the times and social change", says Freedman.

Then again, it could be just that Perry, like Newton-John but unlike Watson, is known primarily as a singer.

Efron, 24, is the same age as Travolta was when the original Grease movie came out in 1978. Perry, 27, is older than Olivia Newton-John was when she played Sandy at the age of 20. But then some of the actors playing High School kids in the original movie were in their thirties, which didn’t seem to matter.

Both Katy Perry and Zac Efron are natives of California, where the original movie was shot, though Perry now has a British connection through marriage to Brand.

Lindsay Lohan N*de Photos Leaked. Are they Fake?

Lindsay Lohan just can't get a break these days with every single thing involving her ending up in the media spotlight. She rarely works and seems to be more known for being in trouble or being the butt-end of some kind of joke. It's sad, but that's entertainment, ladies and gents.


It seems you're never really famous until there's a sex tape, nip-slip or some other major issue these days, and Lindsay Lohan is now the latest victim of that whole genre of exploitation. She only just finished her Playboy shoot, after saying for years that she'd never pose nude or do any nude scenes. Now, some interesting imagery of LiLo has surfaced online by a man who says she let him photograph her nude five years ago!

The photographer, Harvey Edwards, claims that the troubled starlet allowed him to photograph her nude on a motorcycle. However, these photos are not showing LiLo's face. Nonetheless, the body in these three shows, which can be seen here, do kind of look a bit like Lindsay's body before she turned into Hollywood's favorite barfly. Now it's a little frumpy and plasticky, frequently covered in bruises (because drunk girls do tend to bump into things a lot).


Are the n*de pics of Lindsay Lohan real?

Apparently they're not, according to Lindsay's "people." But hey, that wouldn't be the first time a rep for a celeb denied things that were true to save-face. Keep in mind that these are the same people who try to say she was complying with her probation before she was taken in for a "failure to comply."

Whether they're real or not, and sources say they're not, it doesn't really matter. And this Harvey Edwards guy just got himself a small dose of fame at least; even if it did mean riding on the coat tails of an impending train-wreck.

Nandana Sen gets hate mails for ‘Rang Rasiya’ n*de scenes

Indian actress Nandana Sen is receiving hate mails over her nude scenes in the 2008 Hindi movie ‘Rang Rasiya’.


In the movie, Nandana played the role of a muse of a painter Raja Ravi Verma, played by Randeep Hooda.

Sen explained that nudity can be portrayed in a dignified way. The actress defended that the way the woman’s body has been portrayed in the movie depicts the power of the women.

The actress argued that if Hollywood actress Kate Winslet does a nude scene then there are no problems, but if the same thing is done in India then it becomes an issue.

Sen who had portrayed the role of Sugandha Bai, told reporters that without knowing what the film was all about, she received hate mails for some of the nude scenes in the movie.

Nandana has also worked in Bollywood in many of the films like ‘Black’ in which she had played the role of Rani Mukherji’s sister.

Jessica Biel Ready To Get cloths off for ‘Amazing Opportunity'

Jessica Biel is not afraid to undress in front of a camera and says that ‘If a director I trusted came to me with an amazing opportunity and it felt organic, I would do it.’
This brave statement from Justin Timberlake’s on-again-off-again girlfriend comes despite Jessica’s upsetting experience with her last nude exposure in the failure of a film, ‘Powder Blue.’

In a revealing interview reported by The Daily Mail, Biel, 29, said that said it was ‘brutal’ to see her naked body plastered all over the Internet in the clip from the movie.  She played a stripper trying to earn money to raise her terminally ill son in the film – which went straight to DVD.

‘It’s unfortunate,’ she said.  ‘It was brutal for a while. There was so much more that we put into it.’

But despite the embarrassment Biel says she might go naked again.

Despite her glitzy lifestyle and heartthrob on again, off again boyfriend Justin Timberlake, Biel said that she still feels lonely ‘all the time’.

Jessica also dropped her clothes in films such as “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry,” though she was still underwear-clad in the scene. One still gets the feeling that getting naked on film these days is something that many Hollywood stars feel is beneath them. Not Jessica.

Dressless photo of Kate Moss goes on sale for £18k

If you’ve got a spare £18,000 burning a hole in your back pocket (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?!) then we may have found the perfect thing for you to spend it on – a nude photo of Kate Moss!


Taken by Albert Watson back in 1993, the iconic black and white image is deemed one of the ‘best ever photos’ taken of the supermodel and it’s going under the hammer at Bonhams auction house on 17th November.

On the other hand, if you barely have £18 to your name right now, you’ll have to make do with these pictures of Kate strolling through London yesterday after lunch with her hubby at Inaho Japanese restaurant.

Hollywood newcomer Elizabeth Olsen: 'Kate Winslet inspired me to cloths off'

The Hollywood newcomer, who is the younger sister of actress twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, was terrified about shooting naked scenes for new movie Martha Marcy May Marlene.


But after seeing Winslet appear completely nude in 1999 movie Holy Smoke, the 22 year old admits she felt inspired to shed her clothes for the drama, in which she plays a young woman who flees from a cult.

She explains, "(Martha Marcy May Marlene is) only my second film, I got nervous. 'Wait, does this set a precedent for me? Are people going to think I'm just game for that?' Because I'm not. When it's sensationalised or gratuitous, I have no interest in it. But for this movie, it's so a part of the nature theme that's explored and the loss of identity...

"Kate Winslet in that film (Holy Smoke) has much more difficult, physically vulnerable scenes than I did in this movie and it was so impactful. And I was thinking, 'Look at her career now. She's not pigeonholed, it just is the story.' And that was a lesson to learn, to look up to her career as something that's pretty ideal in my mind... That gave me a type of courage of being like, 'I'm going to support the movie, this tells the story better, this is important for the story and that's that.'"

Twilight Saga Last Part Has A 'Global Feeling'

Director Bill Condon calls final 'Twilight' film 'epic,' while screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg promises it will be 'kick butt.'"Breaking Dawn - Part 1" has officially arrived in theaters, and you know what that means: Let the talk about "Part 2" begin!


MTV News' Josh Horowitz sat down with director Bill Condon and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg to discuss what Twi-hards can expect from the conclusion of "The Twilight Saga."

Condon hinted that there will be a significant jump in tone between "Part 1" and "Part 2," a film he described as "epic." "['Breaking Dawn - Part 1'] is a very, very emotional, romantic story in the first half that gets dark and has elements of a horror movie in it," he said, possibly referring to the infamous birth scene.

In "Part 2," Condon said the action will focus on the larger world of vampires, which comes into the conflict with the birth of Bella and Edward's daughter, Renesmee. "The second one: It is truly the meeting of the vampires from around the world, so it has a really kind of global feeling," he said.

Rosenberg promised one thing: action. "The journey of the second film is survival, and it is kick butt. There's going to be some action going on there," she said.

Both Condon and Rosenberg were hesitant to comment on how the second film will end. Condon said he knows how it ends, but wouldn't offer much else, saying only, "It's an ending."

Rosenberg, on the other hand, was more giving, and said the answer lies in what Stephenie Meyer originally wrote. "It's in the book, and it felt right," she said.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Scores Fifth Biggest US Box Office Opening

The fourth vampire flick made a cool $139.5 million in its first weekend.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 has scored the fifth-biggest debut at the US box office, raking in a cool $139.5 million in its opening weekend.


Twihard fans raced to cinemas faster than Jacob Black running to try and stop Bella and Edward's wedding, giving Breaking Dawn - Part 1 a place in the record books.

The fourth instalment of the vampire flick collected $139.5 million in America - more than $30 million of which was from midnight showings early Friday - with it bagging an estimated $283.5 million worldwide.

Breaking Dawn - Part 1 now stands behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($169.2 million), The Dark Knight ($158.4 million), Spider-Man 3 ($151.1 million) and 2009's New Moon ($169.2 million).

Animated penguin movie Happy Feet 2 was Twilight's nearest rival, taking $22 million at the US box office, with last week's No.1, Immortals falling to third place.

The final movie in the Twilight Saga will hit cinemas next year.

Robert Pattinson is still busy in Berlin without his Girlfriend Kristen Stewart

They have spent the last week by each other's side as they promote the latest Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn Part 1.


But Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have now been forced to separate, with the actress getting back to work on her new movie in the U.K, and the actor travelling to Berlin for yet another premiere.

And today 21-year-old Kristen appeared to be suffering from separation anxiety.

The star was spotted leaving Robert's London home looking somewhat glum.

Despite glamming it up at the recent Twilight premieres in London and L.A this week, Kristen was back to her usual uniform.

She made it a casual Friday wearing khaki trousers, a white rolled-up T-shirt, a black zip up hoodie and her signature Ray-Ban Wayfers.

Kristen and Robert have been spending a lot of time together to promote their latest Twilight film: Breaking Dawn Part 1.

And while Kristen's press duties may be over, Rob is still hard at work on the promotion tour of the movie.

He and co-star, Taylor Lautner, were in Berlin, Germany today for the premiere of the movie.

Breaking Dawn Part 1 had its opening today at midnight, and has already grossed an estimated $30.3 million.

This film features the highly-anticipated sex scenes between Kristen and Rob's characters: Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.

Director Bill Condon talked about the undeniable on-set chemistry between the real life couple: 'It's crazy how close they are. It's wonderful and... I feel as though because they're more relaxed with that, it added something to the movie, too.

'Because obviously, this is the part where they are together, and that's something they didn't have to act.'

The last instalment of the film's franchise, Breaking Dawn Part 2, is scheduled to be released a year from now.

Kristen is currently filming Snow White And The Huntsman in the U.K.

Taylor Lautner: I'm not Team Jacob

Taylor Lautner isn't on Team Jacob or Team Edward.

The US actor plays werewolf Jacob Black, the love rival to vampire Edward Cullen ( Robert Pattinson) in the 'Twilight Saga' film franchise and although his character eventually loses the battle for Bella Swan's heart, Taylor admitted he would have been happy whoever Bella ( Kristen Stewart) chose.

He told Irish TV show 'Xpose': "I'm not on a team to be honest, my personal opinion is that Bella couldn't have gone wrong with either of them. I'm team Switzerland, completely neutral. She's got her lover and she's got her best friend."

Taylor's character is renowned for his topless scenes in previous movies but the star was thrilled to remain fully clothed in much of 'Breaking Dawn Part 1'.

He said:"I was very grateful to pass off the shirtless duties to Rob and Kristen in this movie, they've got their clothes off much more than I do."

Taylor's co-star Robert revealed he has mixed feelings about saying goodbye to his character but loved filming his final scenes on a beach because the rest of the movies have been so gloomy.

He said: "It's kind of amazing, me and Kristen filmed our last scenes on a beach in the Caribbean which is kind of the opposite of what we've been doing on this series all along so that was quite nice. To be honest I don't really know how I feel about not going back to work in Canada or Louisiana, it's going to be weird not to put in the contact lenses again."

"Breaking Dawn" S*x Scene: Edward's "But* Crack" Edited Out

Robert Pattinson wants everyone to know why he thinks the "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" sex scene was really  edited -- there was "a bit too much butt crack."


Pattinson and the rest of the cast stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show -- where Rob tried to dispel the rumor that the scene was re-shot due to Kristen Stewart's over-zealous, uh, participation.

"There was a bit too much butt crack I think," he tells Ellen. "That was one thing I know they cut out. They didn’t cut the shot or what ever they just cut the crack out."

So how exactly do those magic movie editors remove a butt crack?  "They just painted over it ... you’re allowed to show cheek," Rob explains. "You can’t show crack."

The full interview is set to air on Nov. 18.

Ashton Kutcher Pre-Split: What I Don't Like in a Woman

Ashton Kutcher is a take-me-as-I-am kind of guy.

The Two and a Half Men star, 33, hasn't openly discussed the reasons behind his split from Demi Moore, but he has addressed what turns him away from a relationship.


"I could never be with a woman who felt like she needed to change me," the actor – who reportedly cheated on his wife of six years – tells Men's Health in its December issue.

But that doesn't mean he's opposed to compromise.

"I think it's about working on the relationship and making it better … when it's good," he says in the interview, which he gave before the split. "The goal is not to get into a relationship; the goal is to be in a relationship."

Not to mention keeping that relationship intact.

"I'm relatively scared of failure," he admits. "I just don't see it as something that's inevitable."

'Twilight': Kristen Stewart's extreme 'Twilight' transformation

The fans who lined up over the weekend to see "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1" — and there were a lot of them, considering that the fourth installment in the franchise adapted from Stephenie Meyer's bestselling young-adult novels
raked in an estimated $139.5 million — witnessed some pretty radical upheaval in the lives of young Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and her vampire beau Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).

The couple marries, and during a romantic honeymoon getaway, they finally consummate their relationship. But Bella unexpectedly becomes pregnant and fights to carry the child to term, though the fetus is seemingly incompatible with her body.

To depict the great physical toll the pregnancy takes on Bella's body — she's unable to eat and essentially is withering away as her stomach swells — the "Breaking Dawn" filmmakers looked to Lola Visual Effects, the company responsible for downsizing muscular Chris Evans to a pre-transformation weakling in this summer's comic book superhero film "Captain America." The results are certainly eyebrow-raising, with Bella becoming increasingly pale and extremely gaunt.

"The idea was to leave you with a question mark about how they did it," said the film's director, Bill Condon. "We wanted you to think it was possible that Kristen actually lost a lot of weight for it."

The visual-effects team added prosthetics to Stewart's face (a process that took three hours of application) to make her eyes look more sunken and her ears larger. Stewart likened wearing the prosthetics to having a "big, skinny head" for the scenes. Still, the 21-year old actress was game for the transformation.

"I'm so happy that they were not afraid of it — to have your main character look so awful for half of the movie is a bold choice for a huge film," Stewart said. "It was the one thing I wasn't fully responsible for concerning Bella and it made me really nervous. I didn't know what it would look like until I saw the movie."

Mila Kunis keeps her date with Afghanistan vet

Mila Kunis made a Marine's YouTube wish come true on Friday night, when the actress kept her promise to be his date at the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina.


Kunis attended the event at the Greenville Convention Center with Sergeant Scott Moore, Access Hollywood reported. The event was closed to media.

Moore invited Kunis to the soiree in a YouTube video posted in July, from a base in Afghanistan.

"Hey, Mila. It's Sergeant Moore, but you can call me Scott," he said in the video. "I just wanted to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps Ball on November 18 in Greenville, North Carolina, with yours truly. So take a second, think about it and get back to me."

A message left with Kunis's publicist in New York was not returned on Sunday.

Their date took place less than a week after Kunis' "Friends with Benefits" co-star, Justin Timberlake, escorted a Marine Corps combat instructor to a ball in Richmond, Virginia.

Timberlake, who publicly encouraged Kunis to accept Moore's invitation, received a similar proposal soon afterward from Corporal Kelsey De Santis. On his website, the singer-turned actor called the November 12 Marine Corps Ball he attended with De Santis "one of the most moving evenings" of his life.

'Twilight' Movie Tickets Sales Over $283.5 Million

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" earned $283.5 million world-wide in its opening weekend, proving the vampire-romance series hasn't lost any of its bite with audiences.


The latest installment of the fantasy movie took in $139.5 million domestically and grossed $144 million abroad from 54 territories. The movie, which cost $110 million to make, was released by Summit Entertainment LLC.

At the Los Angeles premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part I," Twi-hards screamed as stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner walked the black carpet. Michelle Kung was there and has details on Lunch Break.

As for domestic openings this year, "Breaking Dawn Part 1" trails only the $169.2 million opening of "Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2" in July. Unlike the Harry Potter film, "Breaking Dawn Part 1" was released strictly in 2-D and didn't receive any bump from higher-priced 3-D tickets.

The total for "Breaking Dawn Part 1" includes $30.3 million from midnight screenings on Thursday night.

Directed by Bill Condon, "Breaking Dawn Part 1," the fourth movie in a planned series of five, stars Kristen Stewart as a human teenager who marries and become pregnant by a vampire (Robert Pattinson).

The opening was in line with Summit's expectations, said Richie Fay, the studio's president of domestic distribution. Summit was initially concerned that the year-and-a-half gap since the previous "Twilight" installment, "Eclipse," might erode attendance, but fans turned out in record numbers.

As expected, women made up the majority of the audience for "Breaking Dawn Part 1," with females making up 80% of ticket-buyers.

The opening bodes well for "Breaking Dawn Part 2," the final title in the franchise, which is to be released next November.

The weekend's other big release, the animated penguin feature "Happy Feet Two," had to settle for $22 million from 3,606 theaters. The audience was primarily female, with women making up 57% of the audience. Released by Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. Pictures, the $135 million film is a follow-up to 2006's original, which grossed $41.5 million its opening weekend and $198 million domestically.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in the latest 'Twilight' series film.

According to Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. Pictures' president of distribution, the movie's opening was slightly below studio expectations, due to a weekend that was more competitive than expected.

The family film made 50% of its gross from 3-D screenings.

In limited release, the Hawaiian dramedy "The Descendents," starring George Clooney as a cuckolded father of two girls, earned $1.2 million from 29 theaters. The film, which opened Wednesday, has grossed $1.3 million to date with a strong $42,150 per screen average. Distributor Fox Searchlight will expand the theater count to roughly 420 screens in 60 different markets next Wednesday. News Corp. owns both Fox and The Wall Street Journal.

"Immortals" earned $12.3 million over the weekend, dropping 62% from the previous week, when it had been No. 1 at the box office. The Relativity Media LLC 3-D epic has cumulatively earned $53 million to date.

Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 4 - Ghost Protocol

The latest offering of the Mission: Impossible franchise will hold a special attraction for some UAE residents - a chance to see themselves on the big screen.

But while Tom Cruise and assorted other A-list co-stars will get to see the final cut of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol when it premieres on the opening night of the Dubai International Film Festival (Diff) at the Madinat Jumeirah on December 7, the hundreds of residents used as extras in the film may need to wait a little longer to discover if their scenes made it into the movie.

They will all be watching the action thriller with particular interest when the film opens on general release next month to see if their scenes made it or ended up on the cutting room floor.

The extras, who played a variety of roles, were given an opportunity to rub shoulders with the stars and experience the excitement of taking part in a major Hollywood shoot. The casting agency received more than 5,000 applications from would-be extras, and the several hundred who were chosen worked with a 400-strong crew.

In addition to Cruise, the movie also stars Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Josh Holloway, Anil Kapoor and Léa Seydoux.

Rumours have abounded for months that the much-talked about action movie, which was part filmed in Dubai, would premiere here and the festival organisers and Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the production, made the official announcement yesterday.

Filming of the movie hit the international headlines last year when Cruise, 49, was photographed dangling from the outside of the Burj Khalifa in one scene.

Other parts of the film are set at Dubai International Financial Centre and on the Palm Jumeirah. Further shoots took place in Prague, Moscow, Mumbai and Vancouver. The scenes were filmed in high-definition IMAX and the film is expected to be released in this format in the UAE.

Residents were quick to express their delight at the news on Twitter. Louise Nichol tweeted: "Too excited for the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol premiere in Dubai on Dec 7." And a user called Yasmeen summed up the announcement as "Awesome".

Cruise was seen performing hair-raising stunts on the Burj Khalifa in a behind-the-scenes video released recently by the producers and in the latest cinema trailer for the film.

The star reprises the role of Impossible Missions Force agent Ethan Hunt in a story that sees the unit closed down after he is framed for a terrorist bombing at the Kremlin.

Abdulhamid Juma, the chairman of Diff, said: "There is no doubt that this film will have a transformative effect on the region's film industry, through knowledge transfer, inspiring emerging filmmakers, paving the way for many more collaborations and drawing attention to cinema from this part of the world."

Ahmad Abdulla Al Shaikh, the director general of the Dubai Government Media Office, said: "We await with great excitement the return of the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol filmmakers, crew, and talent to Dubai in December.

"Dubai's continuing relationship with the film is a mark of trust in Dubai's world-class infrastructure, capabilities and leadership. This relationship is a point of pride not only for the emirate but for the region as a whole.

"Dubai continues to welcome serious filmmakers from around the world, and remains ready to extend all assistance and support necessary to ensure the success of their films. Dubai reaffirms its commitment to the advancement of the local, regional, and international film industries."

Rob Moore, the vice-chairman of Paramount Pictures, said: "We are looking forward to sharing the film first with Dubai." Ghost Protocol is due to go on general release in the UAE on December 15 and will open in the US the following week.

The eighth Diff will run from December 7 to 14.

Twilight Saga:‘Breaking Dawn’ Kristen Stewart ‘All Close-Ups’ S*x Scenes

There has been much hype surrounding Bella and Edward’s sex scene in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” – but series star Kristen Stewart says it’s not as graphic as many are hoping it will be.

“I think, for me, it really reflects what I felt when I was reading the book,” she recently told MTV News. “It’s funny, because it’s not in the book. It’s totally just what you imagine in between those chapters, but without it, because you imagine it, it leads you to — it picks up right after, and then sort of really indulges in memory. And so I think that’s how you see it.”

So what will Twi-hards actually see Kristen and co-star Robert Pattison doing on the big screen when the next installment of “The Twilight Saga” opens next week?

“It’s not a beginning-to-end sex scene; it’s memories, it’s nice,” she explained. “So because of that, I never really got to shoot, we didn’t shoot a sex scene. It was all close-ups and such.”

During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday, the late night host asked Kristen about the much-talked-about scene.

“Somebody came in and put a stop to all the thrusting?” Jimmy said with a laugh, referring to Kristen and Robert shooting the scene.

“He’s the thruster, obviously,” she said of Robert. “Not me.”

Kirsten Dunst opens up everything (Including dress)

Kirsten Dunst decided to seek help for her depression and came out a better person.

While promoting her new movie Melancholia on The Ellen Show, Kirsten Dunst opened up for the first time about her own experiences with depression.

“There’s no way to bring it up without saying what it is – you suffered from depression,” began Ellen Degeneres.

While Dunst shared that she’s not comfortable talking about her personal battle, she admitted that her depression and time spent in rehab back in 2008 was due to the pressures of fame. “I dealt with it. Yeah. That and it's also interesting as an actress you're supposed to be sensitive and vulnerable and have this side to you. But then your supposed to be super sociable and 'on' and like nice to everybody. That's a weird dichotomy. It's a lot to ask of a person. It's not a normal thing."

The actress has been acting since the age of 10 and growing up in the spotlight took a toll on her. So much so that she checked herself into the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah to start over. "I definitely took a little bit of a break. And also, when you're in your 20s you need figure things out and take a step back. I had been acting so long, all my life. I think I just needed a little bit of some perspective. It was good for me and it re-inspired what I do, too."

According to Gather, Dunst is taking precautions to make sure that while she is back in the limelight she doesn’t spiral downward, including staying away from Hollywood parties. “I avoid the red carpet as much as possible. You have to do it to promote your movies obviously, but you won’t see me at an event just for the sake of it.”
