Robert Pattinson believes that he has Old Fashioned Body

Twilight` hunk Robert Pattinson thinks he has an "old-fashioned" body and so he jumped at the chance to work in the movie `Water For Elephants` directed by  Francis Lawrence

The 24-year-old star who plays a young vet in the movie opposite Reese Witherspoon has always wanted to work in a 1930`s film and was astonished at how well he suited the costumes, reported Contactmusic.

Robert Pattinson

"I must have an old-fashioned body or something, as the clothes suited me better than regular ones. I always wanted to do a movie that was set in the 1930s as I love the clothes they wore. And then this came along," he said.

Pattinson enjoyed working with his Oscar winning co-star and was delighted at how supportive she was.

 His co actor Sara Gruen  said that I think Robert Pattinson is really going to shine in that role. He’s so dedicated. 

"When you meet people who have won an Oscar, you think they`re going to be off in their own little world, but Reese was incredibly kind and supportive," Pattinson said.

Singing Sensastion Lady Gaga Behaves unusual under Stress!!!!

 Lady Gaga whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta shows signs of `crazy` behaviour when she is stressed and the pop diva`s friends and entourage are worried that her bizzare habits are escalating out of control.

The 25-year-old singer refuses to pour her own drinks or sit on a chair someone else has previously used and insists on having her own crockery so she can be sure that no one else has used it, reported Contactmusic.

Lady Gaga

"She even has someone on hand to pour her drinks because she thinks pouring for oneself is bad luck. She has 28 tour buses, 140 staff and an even number of tables, chairs, glasses and plates in her backstage area," a source said.

"She often suffers bouts of crazy behaviour when she is tired and stressed. It`s certainly happening now."

Lady Gaga

The `Born this Way` hitmaker has been accompanied round the world by boyfriend Luc Carl since they reunited last July, but she regularly insists on booking them separate hotel rooms because she thinks sharing a bed every night would damage her creativity.

"She calls it her 16th century monarch night as she doesn`t always allow Luc to sleep in bed with her," the source added.

Pop starlets Britney Spears and Rihanna are singing the duet of “S&M.”

Two Western Pop starlets Britney Spears and Rihanna  are singing the duet of the official remix of Rihanna’s most recent single, “S&M.”  Not too much different from the original of the Stargate production, aside from Britney giving us a little something different on the second verse and joining Rihanna on the bridge. 

'Hold It Against Me' hitmaker Britney appears on a remix of Rihanna's recent raunchy single 'S&M', with the Barbadian singer promising the results are "sexy", reportscontactmusic.com.

Britney Spears

‘I got a SEXY collabo comin your way supa dupa soon!!!! OH YEAH!!! By popular demand… Its BRITNEY!!! (sic),’ tweeted Rihanna.

Britney responded, tweeting back: ‘You’re such a tease! I like it, like it. You think they’re ready Ri Ri (sic)?’

Rihanna added further praise for the star: ‘Britneyspears One of the biggest worldwide popstars! U gangsta #EPIC (sic).’

Britney Spears

Britney returned the compliment, writing: ‘You ain’t so bad yourself honey (sic).’

The release date for the remix is yet to be given. 'S&M' caused controversy when it was released in January, with its raunchy video - which sees Rihanna simulating sex with a blow up doll - reportedly banned in 11 countries, mainly in South East Asia. 

Rihanna 

It was also edited for commercial radio in the UK, with certain words including "sex", "whips" and "chains" omitted. 

Britney Spears recently released her latest LP, Femme Fatale, while Rihanna’s Loud has been in stores. Both artists are embarking on tours this summer and it’s rumored that for overseas legs, they will appear on stage together

Hollywood actress Demi Moore was in Nepal for a week long trip to shoot documentry On Anuradha koirala CNN hero of the year!!!

Hollywood actress Demi Moore made a week trip to Nepal, and interacted at length with the media in Kathmandu.

She addressed the problem of human trafficking at a news conference organized by Maiti Nepal, a non-profit organization.

Maiti Nepal aims to protect Nepali girls and women from crimes like domestic violence, trafficking for flesh trade, child prostitution, child labour and various forms of exploitation.

Moore had arrived in Nepal on April 1 to work on CNN’s Freedom Project. She spent her week in Nepal shooting a documentary about 2010 CNN Hero Anuradha Koirala trying to deliver Koirala’s message against human trafficking. The shooting was done at rehabilitation centre of Maiti Nepal at Gaushala, transit homes at Bhairawa and Rasuwa.

Demi Moore In press meet

Moore also urged everyone to unite and fight against human trafficking. “Real men don’t buy and sell girls. Real men love, care for and protect girls,” said Moore at the press meet.

Moore, who became one of the highest paid actress in Hollywood with her successes in the movies like Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal and Disclosure in the early 1990s, stressed on not giving much importance to her celebrity status. “Because Anuradha and I share the same commitment against human trafficking, I came to Nepal. I appreciate people’s fascination with celebrities but I am here as human being, not as celebrity.”

During her trip she also had an opportunity to meet Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal. “I was encouraged with his response as he committed to give priority to education,” revealed Moore who sees “lack of opportunity of education and poverty as the major reasons behind vulnerability of young girls towards human trafficking”.

Anuradha Koirala and Demi Moore

On her association with Moore, Koirala said, “Moore introduced me to the world during the (CNN Hero) award ceremony. And we share a common interest to work against human trafficking.”

On the situation of human trafficking Moore said, “America and Nepal have the same problems. Despite being a global problem, it should be addressed specifically as per the country.” Moore returned on the evening of April 7.

Freida Pinto is not Pairing with Dev Patel again!!!!

They met and fell for each other on the sets of their debut film `Slumdog Millionaire` which went on to win eight Oscars, but Freida Pinto says that she and Dev Patel will never share the screen again.

The 26-year-old said that they will never be able to recreate   the "magic" of the Mumbai -Based potboiler, reported a daily.

"I wouldn`t want to work with him, but I don`t mean that in a bad way. He said something similar in an interview that was misinterpreted. What he was trying to say is that so much happened on Slumdog Millionaire, in terms of it becoming so big, that if the two of us were paired in a film as a couple again it wouldn`t live up to that. Nothing ever could. It`s too much magic to live up to on screen" said the 26 years old beautiful actress.

Freida Pinto & Dev Patel

The actress who is winning rave reviews for her role as a Palestinian orphan in the Julian Schabel film `Miral` said that she and Patel, 6 years her junior, have already introduces each other to the parents.

Dev Patel

"My parents have met his parents. It`s an Indian thing, it`s very much a part of our culture to meet your friends` parents. I hope they like him and are not pretending.

But Dev is so chilled out, there is nothing not to like about him," said Pinto.

The actress is currently shooting in San Francisco for the action-adventure movie `Rise of the Apes`, where she stars alongside James Franco while patel is in India shooting for `The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel` with Judi Dench.

Lindsay Lohan is dropping her surname to be Lindsay!!!!!

Lindsay Lohan, an American actress, pop singer and model, may change her name to simply "Lindsay," the troubled star's mother says, according to Fox News.Lindsay is popularly known for her leading roles in the films Freaky Friday, Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded, subsequently appearing in independent films including Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion and Emilio Estevez's Bobby.

The decision would allegedly be an attempt for the family to distance themselves from their estranged patriarch, Michael Lohan, who was charged earlier this week for assaulting his girlfriend Kate Major and has a history of legal troubles.

"Lindsay is dropping the Lohan and just going by Lindsay," Dina said. "Plus, me and [younger daughter] Ali will be officially changing our last names back to my maiden name, Sullivan."

Apparently, Lindsay has been considering dropping her surname for some time but was under the impression that no one would know who she was just going by her first name.

Several celebs have successfully dropped their last name, including Oprah, Prince, Bjork, Beyonce, Cher and Madonna. The difference with these cases is that Lindsay is a widely common name.

Dina and Michael Lohan got divorced in 2007, which is when Lindsay was arrested for drunk driving and cocaine possession and began her downward spiral through jail, alcohol and drug abuse and rehab.

The 24-year-old actress is scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing on April 22, during which prosecutors are expected to present evidence against her and determine if there is enough to warrant a trial for a grand theft case, after allegedly stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, CA boutique. Also, a judge is set to determine if she violated her probation stemming from a 2007 drunk driving case.

Lohan's three stints behind bars have each lasted 84 minutes, 14 days and 15 hours - the last of which occurred in September after she failed a drug test and wrote about it on her Twitter page.

The actress is also currently under investigation in Riverside County in an alleged battery case over a December altercation the actress had with a worker at the Betty Ford Center.

But in response to this news Lindsay father, Michael responded with a clear denial later Friday during a visit to Jane Velez-Mitchell's hit HLN show. "I don't think it's true at all," he said. "I would never imagine any of my kids changing their name, especially Lindsay."

Lohan's representative has no immediate comment on the report.

Oscar winning Actress Elizabeth Taylor died at Age of 79!!!!

LOS ANGELES - Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, the violet-eyed film goddess whose sultry screen life was often upstaged by her stormy personal life, died Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at age of 79.

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in Hampstead, a wealthy district of North West London, the second child of Francis Lenn Taylor (1897–1968) and Sara Viola Warmbrodt (1895–1994), who were Americansresiding in England.

She died of congestive heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she had been hospitalized for about six weeks, publicist Sally Morrison said.

"All her children were with her," Morrison said.

Taylor had extraordinary grace, fame and wealth, and won three Oscars, including a special one for her humanitarian work. But she was tortured by ill health, failed romances and personal tragedy.

"I think I'm becoming fatalistic," she said in 1989. "Too much has happened in my life for me not to be fatalistic."

Elizabeth tylor with seducing look

Her eight marriages — including two to actor Richard Burton — and a lifelong battle with substance abuse, physical ailments and overeating made Taylor as popular in supermarket tabloids as in classic film festivals.

Elizabeth Tylor as cleopatra

Taylor disclosed in November 2004 that she had congestive heart failure. But she still periodically dismissed reports that she was at death's door, saying she used a wheelchair only because of chronic back problems that began at age 12 when she fell from a horse.

"Oh, come on, do I look like I'm dying?" she said in May 2006 in a rare television interview on CNN's "Larry King Live." "Do I look like or sound like I have Alzheimer's?" Tabloids report such things "because they have nothing else dirty to write about anybody else," she said.

When she turned 75 the following year, she was asked about the secret to her longevity and quipped: "Hangin' in."

The London-born actress was a star at age 12, a bride and a divorcee at 18, a screen goddess at 19 and a widow at 26.

She appeared in more than 50 films, and won Oscars for her performances in "Butterfield 8" (1960) and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966), in which she starred opposite Burton.

In later years, she was a spokeswoman for several causes, most notably AIDS research. Her work gained her a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, in 1993.

As she accepted it, she told a worldwide television audience: "I call upon you to draw from the depths of your being — to prove that we are a human race, to prove that our love outweighs our need to hate, that our compassion is more compelling than our need to blame."

She accepted her many health problems with a stoic attitude.

"My body's a real mess," Taylor told W magazine in 2004. "If you look at it in the mirror, it's just completely convex and concave."

Oscars' (2011)Five Best Moments!!!

This year's Academy Awards are already just a memory, but Hollywood's annual glamour fest provided some poignant and funny moments along the way. 

Here are some of the funny moments  from the show: 

1. Justin Timberlakeand Mila Kunis's Crackling Delivery
The Friends with Benefits costars were together again, their onscreen chemistry translating to the stage, too. The witty Timberlake cracked Kunis up with his deadpan delivery of several jokes, literally causing her to double over with laughter at one point as they presented awards for animated films. 

 
2. Harry Potter and Twilight Get the Auto-Tune Treatment
Add some clever technological maneuvers, and presto – a serious confrontation between Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 becomes a hilarious musical created with Auto-Tuned voices. Edward, Bella and a shirtless Jacob – Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner – also got the same treatment during a scene from Twilight: Eclipse, jokingly titled "He Doesn't Own a Shirt." 

3. Christian Bale Chokes Up Paying Tribute to His Wife
Bale has played a gruff, gravelly voiced Batman, a grizzled boxer in his Oscar-winning performance in The Fighter, and myriad of other tough-guy roles. So when he choked up when it came to thanking his wife, Sandra "Sibi," it was a departure for the towering Brit. "Of course mostly my wonderful wife (pause) ah – I didn't think I was like this – my wonderful wife who is my mast through the storms of life, I hope I'm likewise to you, darling," he said from the stage. Judging by her beaming face, it seems he is. 

4. Luke Matheny: Big Winner, Big Hair
When he won the Oscar for his Live Action Short Film God of Love – a comedy about a lounge-singing darts champion – Matheny, sporting a huge mass of curly locks, immediately admitted, "I should've gotten a hair cut!" His enthusiastic acceptance speech and his shout-out to his mom for helping out on craft services brought some more charm to the proceedings – and loud applause from the audience. 

5. Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.'s Banter
It got physical, with Law putting a hand on Downey's chest before telling him to "shut up." His reason? As Law earnestly introduced the nominees for the Visual Effects Oscar, Downey interrupted him to criticize the category – more than once. "If it wasn't for them, your closest association with a superhero would have been in 2001 when you got busted in a cheap hotel with a woman dressed as Bat Girl," Law ribbed the Iron Man star. After a brief, stunned pause, Downey Jr. clarified, "First, that cheap hotel room cost $1,250 a night, with a corporate discount. Secondly, it was 2000 and not 2001. And most importantly, she was dressed as Wonder Woman." Later, Downey Jr. added, "Jude Law no longer has a ride to the after parties if anyone's interested." The stone-faced actors, who starred in Sherlock Holmes together, were clearly joking about any disagreement, making the faux rivalry all the more fun.
