A few days ago, I reported how Will Smith spends his spare time from his busy schedule. If he was not busy promoting his latest flick, Seven Pounds, he was happily visiting patients at Miami Children’s Hospital.
According to Perezhilton, one of his readers say that there’s even more good news.
Turns out Smith took time out yesterday to visit Case Elementary, an inner city public school in Cleveland, Ohio.
He spent time visiting with the school officials and hanging out with the kids.
See? You can do good while promoting your flick! Better this than those stupid publicity stunts, (Adrienne Bailon, anyone?)
“Spiderman gets his wife pregnant for the second time” might be an eye-catching headline for the Daily Bugle, the newspapers where Spiderman works as a photographer. However, this is real life so might as well reveal the good news. The alter ego of Spiderman, Tobey Maguire and wife Jennifer Meyer are expecting their second baby and this was confirmed by no less than Kelly Bush, Maguire’s representative.
Sources said the 33-year old Maguire and the 31-year old Meyer are so thrilled about the news and can’t wait to give their two-year old daughter Ruby Sweetheart a baby brother or sister. Tobey and Jen were married in Hawaii September of last year but can’t wait to add another little one to their growing family.
Luckily, Tobey was able to get a “family time” stipulation in his contract for the next two sequel of Spiderman—Spiderman 4 and 5 which will be filmed over a six-month period. The deal allows Tobey to spend specific hours of the day and night for his family while filming the sequels back to back. Another actor would have been given the role because Sony pictures feared that the deal would be a bad precedent but thanks to Chairman Amy Pascal the deal was signed smoothly.
Daniel Radcliffe has compared the new Hogwarts blockbuster to Scottish drug flick Trainspotting. He says his sixth movie outing, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, has moments like the cult 1996 film.
Daniel said: “There’s a fair amount of sexual energy and drug parallels. We have a couple of Trainspotting moments. That’s two films I never thought would be mentioned in the same breath.”
So does that mean we’ll see Harry diving into the worst toilet at Hogwarts to fetch his wand?
There was just one promise from Daniel — the dark parts are so dark, they’re black.
But director David Yates revealed: “We’re opening with a big attack. We’ll bring a major London landmark crashing down.”
Trainspotting’s Begbie should get a part. He’d sort Voldemort out sharpish.
Jesse McCartney reaches out to his core audience by posing for the cover of UK’s AXM. In his accompanying interview, he talks about being a sex symbol for both women and men, the Miley Cyrus controversy, Zac Efron and a possible rivalry, his acting career and possibly playing a gay role, any guys he’d like to act opposite with and being fans of Justin Timberlake and David Beckham. The really juicy part is when he talks about the whole sex symbol thing. Jesse was asked what he thought about being chased after by boys. He said “Hey man! The more the merrier! You know a fan’s a fan. You know it doesn’t matter what your sexuality is.”
Alanis Morissette has wished her ex-boyfriend Ryan Reynolds and his new fiancee Scarlett Johansson good luck.
The ‘Ironic’ singer – who split from ‘Definitely, Maybe’ star Ryan last year after a four-and-a-half-year relationship – insists she is happy for the newly-engaged couple.
When asked if she finds it difficult to see Ryan has moved on, Alanis replied: “I have enough distance, so to be perfectly honest I’m not really that focused on it. I wish anyone whom I love, whether I hang out with them or not, great success and love in their life. So God speed.”
Alanis also revealed her break-up helped her focus on her songwriting, and provided her with inspiration for her new album ‘Flavors of Entanglement’.
She added: “In the middle of my break-up, I went to London for 12 days, wrote 12 songs. It was all very immediate and visceral. It was very in the moment. One of the main themes of this record is recovery, rising up from the ashes. So it’s sort of an unraveling of my own personal life, hitting my own rock bottom and rising up.”
E! News is reporting that Miley Cyrus has found herself a new singing partner in the likes of John Travolta. Kelly Preston, John’s wife, told E! that “Johnny may sing [a duet] with Miley.” When Kelly was asked about Miley’s controversial Vanity Fair photos, she said “We [now] know Miley very well. and she’s a sweetheart. All I know is that I know her personally and she’s a really good girl with a great head on her shoulders.” John and Miley have already teamed up recently to lend their voice talents to an upcoming animated Disney film called ‘Bolt’ which opens in theatres everywhere on November 26.
Loved-up Billie Piper and Laurence Fox are hoping for a New Year baby, I can reveal.
The Dr Who star has told friends she’s ready to have one. Billie and actor Laurence got married on New Year’s Eve last year and the pair hope to hear the patter of tiny feet shortly after their first anniversary.
Their close friend said: “Billie’s ready to become a mum now and it’s no secret that she’s been getting increasingly broody lately.”
Putting the likes of me to shame, Billie’s given up booze, ditched fast food and cut out the fags to prepare for the tot. Now I bet that’s on Doctor’s orders.
IT looks like Ryan Phillippe is trying to cover up a case of the green-eyed monster - or could he just be the nicest guy in the world?
The Cruel Intentions actor reckons he’s happy ex-wife Reese Witherspoon has hooked up with Donnie Darko star Jake Gyllenhaal.
Ryan was said to have been annoyed by how much time Jake spent with his kids Ava and Deacon, Ryan’s children from his marriage to the Walk the Line beauty, and also at how Reese had started a high profile relationship so soon after their split in 2006.
But chatting on The Howard Stern show, Ryan called Jake “a good dude”.
The kind-hearted hottie added: “I love her and I want her to be happy, and it seems like she is.”
Awe.
