Jolie's A Blonde
5 hours ago
Angelina Jolie is really a blonde, and has been dying her hair dark since she was four years old.
The actress claims her late mother Marcheline Bertrand started the trend because she didn't like the colour of Jolie's locks.
And the 34 year old has been reaching for the dye ever since.
Jolie tells German magazine Das Neue, "My natural colour is dark blonde. But when I was four or five, my mother dyed my hair dark brown, and she decided to keep it that way. And I stuck with that." »
Megan On The Move

Movie pin-up Megan Fox and her on-off boyfriend Brian Austin Green are set for a move to Los Angeles' trendiest neighbourhood.
The Transformers star has reportedly bought a $2.9 million (£1.8 million) home in Los Feliz, just weeks after Green put the pad the pair has shared for the past couple of years on the market.
Fox's new 75-year-old den features four bedrooms and a spa-like master bathroom, according to property gossip website RealEstalker.com.
Beverly Hills 90210 star Green recently put his Hollywood Hills home on the market for $2.4 million (£1.5 million). »
Dafoe Was Fired From Heaven's Gate Cock Fighting Role
5 hours ago
Spider-man star Willem Dafoe was fired from famous flop Heaven's Gate - for laughing at an extra's joke.
After playing an uncredited cock fighter in the 1980 Michael Cimino film, the actor upset the director by chuckling during a quiet tense scene and he was asked to leave the set.
He recalls, "I'm still in the movie because I was the cock fighter. That was one of the things I did; I worked for Jeff Bridges' character in the story.
"I was there for three months and I worked a lot. It was the kind of thing where you were hired to play an unscripted character and then they developed these smaller characters. I had scenes and everything and was really enjoying it and then one day we were doing a lighting set-up for a long time; basically eight hours standing in place, and a woman told me a joke in my ear and I laughed at a moment of silence.
"Cimino turned around and said, 'Willem step out,' and that was that. I was the lamb for sacrifice."
Dafoe has since confronted The Deer Hunter director and reminded him of the moment he was fired, but the moviemaker has no recollection of the incident.
Dafoe tells WENN, "He doesn't quite acknowledge it, but that's what happened. It was quite a lesson because that was the first studio movie I had ever been involved in, so it was quite an eye-opener. I thought, 'Wow, what a rough world!'"
But Dafoe dodged a bullet - his name isn't among the credits in a film that has become a punchline in movie industry jokes. The flop closed a studio and largely cost Cimino his reputation. »

Maguire Heartbroken By Soldiers Families
5 hours ago
Researching his role for Brothers was a "heartbreaking" experience for Tobey Maguire because he got to meet the families of soldiers serving in the Middle East.
The actor plays a returning military man, whose wife (Natalie Portman) has fallen for his brother (Jake Gyllenhaal) in the film, and he admits the preparation he did for the film gave him a new perspective on the soldiers who go off to fight wars and the families they leave behind.
He explains, "I think that the film has given a me a greater understanding of war and those involved... I'm not going and I don't have any real family members who have been over there (Iraq/Afghanistan), but, learning about what the families go through and what our military personnel are going through, it's really intense and to talk to them and their families as they're being deployed for a second and third time.
"The sacrifice and the courage of these people is astounding, and it's really serious business. It's not just the risk of losing life and limb, but also how it effects these people... It's heartbreaking." »

Gwyneth Paltrow was left shaken up after she was involved in a minor car collision on an icy London road on Thursday.
The Shakespeare in Love star was driving through the U.K. capital, which has been hit by a winter storm, when she collided with another vehicle.
Paltrow exchanged details with the other driver before heading home, according to JustJared.com.

Sheen Must Testify In Person
5 hours ago
Charlie Sheen has been ordered to court after his attorney's bid to allow the actor to phone in testimony at an upcoming hearing failed.
Richard Cummins filed a motion earlier this week (begs04Jan10) requesting permission for his celebrity client to avoid court in person when a restraining order, relating to his Christmas morning domestic dispute with wife Brooke Mueller, comes up for review.
Sheen was banned from contacting his wife after the bust-up in Aspen, Colorado, which landed him in police custody, but he's keen to have the protection order lifted.
He simply doesn't want to show up in court and face Mueller to do it.
Sheen had hoped to be allowed to testify by phone from Los Angeles, but, on Thursday, a judge ruled that he must appear in person at the hearing in Aspen on Monday.
The restraining order was put in place amid allegations Sheen threatened Mueller with a knife during the heated argument, for which he is facing charges of second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief. »
