"I would love to pose with (Playboy founder) Hugh Hefner though. He's the sexiest guy I know over 30... Of course it will be tastefully done... Just a lil T (t**s) and A (a**). They have asked me about 3 times before" she twitted earlier.

Imagine Denies 'Dark Tower' Turnaround, Universal Remains Mum
The movie based on Stephen King's novel of the same name was developed as a film trilogy with a TV component in between the movies. The latest report said that Universal and its new owners at Comcast are facing "serious" budget issues which stall the project. In addition, sources said that the final portion of the trilogy has been found "creatively lacking".
Universal paid $5 million for the rights only. Having Ron Howard and Brian Grazer as well as writer-producer Akiva Goldsman on board won't be exactly cheap. Oscar winner Javier Bardem is also in talks to star in the first movie and the first TV component, with options for the other two movies. His salary in the movies may be reasonable but there's a chance that he would be paid more than average TV star.
Universal is yet to comment on the turnaround rumor. If the studio indeed puts the project in such position, then it would have to pay a $10 million penalty.
'Modern Family' Preview of Lady GaGa Tribute Episode
"Cam and Mitch have tickets to a Lady GaGa concert and Cam gets sick, and I desperately still want to go," Jesse Tyler Ferguson teased to TV Guide last month. "So I do everything in my power to get him to let me go, and that might include slightly drugging him a little bit, so maybe he falls asleep. And I sneak out. And Lady GaGa may or may not be on the episode. I'm just kidding. She's not."
Also in the episode, Phil and Claire swap parenting roles for the day, Claire will be the fun-loving good cop and Phil the disciplinarian bad cop, and it's literally a shock to each kid's system. Meanwhile Gloria is at it again, taking in every sob story and stray she comes across, Jay finds himself dispensing business advice to an overzealous entrepreneur about his dog training business scheme.
The episode would be directed by former child star Fred Savage who is best known for his work on the classic sitcom "The Wonder Years". Tony Award-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, who starred in "In the Heights," is to appear in the episode as the overzealous entrepreneur.

And she stayed for both the 15-hour shooting days, even when she wasn't in the scenes."

Nothing has been confirmed just yet. A few days ago, Lady GaGa was scheduled to premiere her "Judas" music video on the Ryan Seacrest-hosting show. The plan was scrapped without further explanation though.
Pics: Katie Holmes Turns Unsophisticated for Retail Therapy
Katie Holmes has gone from glamorous to unsophisticated. After turning heads on a recent red carpet appearance with her stunning black dress, the Jackie Kennedy of "The Kennedys" was snapped looking way too casual as she went shopping at Barneys in Beverly Hills on Friday afternoon, May 6.

Katie's husband Tom was honored with the award for his support of the Jewish rights organization. Upon receiving the kudo, he said, "It's a tremendous honor. For me and my family this is really a very special evening and I look at what Simon Wiesenthal accomplished with his life, what this museum represents."

Warner Bros. Developing Two 'Tarzan' Films
Warner Bros. Pictures is reportedly planning to make two "Tarzan" movies. The first film will be written by Adam Cozad, who provided script for "Archangel", while the second flick will be written by Craig Brewer, the director and scribe for "Black Snake Moan".
Deadline reports that after the writers finish the scripts, the studio will decide which one will be turned into a film first. The site also mentions that the rejected one will serve as a draft for the film sequel.
Hollywood studios have been trying to make a movie about Tarzan. Back in December 2006, a project about the jungle man was developed by Universal Pictures with Mexican director Guillermo del Toro as a possible director. Later in September 2008 when the project has been set up at Warner Bros., Stephen Sommers was reported to take over del Toro's place.

I don't smooch in movies, never will: Shah Rukh Khan
"I don't kiss on screen because I don't know how to do it. I don't do it because I feel weird...and I feel those who do it in films, do it well already," Shah Rukh told reporters here Friday.
"I feel discomfort in doing two things for films. When anyone comes to narrate a story to me, I tell them two things - main ghoda nahin chalaunga aur main choomunga nahin (I won't ride a horse and I won't kiss)," added the 45-year-old.
Shah Rukh's well-known witty side came through when a young journalist asked him if reports that he has kissed Kareena Kapoor for his upcoming sci-fi superhero film "Ra.One", are true.
Looking dashing in a formal black suit, he seemed to be quite amused at being asked such a question at a press conference meant for the formal announcement of Tag Heuer's tie-up with Buddh International Circuit, the host of Formula One in India.
"Where did you read these reports," he asked.
"They are all over the internet, probably reported from Mumbai," she said nonchalantly.
"How old are you my dear?" asked Shah Rukh, and the lady responded: "I am 25. But you shouldn't ask a girl her age."
Came SRK's quick rejoinder: "Well, dear, you don't ask such questions to men! You've asked me this, I am a simple guy, married man with kids...but don't ask such a question to men on the street! But, because you are young, and possibly just stepped into journalism, please don't believe whatever you read on the internet. It may not always be true."
Shah Rukh says if a film requires him to do things which make him uncomfortable, he quits it.
"I don't kiss simply because I am not comfortable doing it. I am pretty uncomfortable even at laughing in my films...so whenever there is a scene where I have to laugh, or where there is a scene where I am uncomfortable or I feel I will not be able to do justice to it, and whenever there are animals involved and I feel they might be mistreated, I quit the film in its narration itself."

I used to have two hour sex sessions daily: Kirstie Alley
Alley, 60, made the revelation while speaking on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’.
“I really hadn’t had a boyfriend for the last ten years - a serious boyfriend. It was the best ten years of my life. I had a lot of freedom,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
“The way I used to pick guys was so shallow. Hot? OK, that’ll be my husband.
“Here’s my big revelation. I decided that in the best of times you have two hours of sex a day, so you have 22 hours left,” she said.
At this point show host Ellen stopped the former ‘Cheers’ actress to clarify her statement
“Whoa, whoa, what? Two hours a day?” Ellen asked.
Alley, who has been married twice, to high school sweetheart Bob Alley and actor Parker Stevenson - jokingly replied: “Not enough?”
She later clarified her estimated time spent lovemaking, saying: “There’s the prelude, the sex and there’s the winding down.”

At a press conference in Sydney with ‘Water For Elephants’ co-star Reese Witherspoon, the ‘Twilight’ star spoke of his views on social networking site.
"I never use it," the Herald Sun quoted him as saying.
"I have never found anything interesting on it. I don't know how it works," he added.
His only Twitter experience was being in a restaurant and seeing fellow diners tweeting his location.
"I wanted to shove the phone down their throat," he said.
"Do they want it to be complete mayhem when they leave the restaurant?" he added.
He said he doesn't understand why his fans don't just come up and say "hello" the old-fashioned way, adding, "What I don't like is people being sneaky, tweeting and taking photographs."
Johnny Depp Had a Hard Time Following the Plot in 'Pirates' 2 and 3
“They had to invent a trilogy out of nowhere,” he toldEntertainment Weekly. “It was plot driven and complicated. I remember talking to [director Gore Verbinski] at certain points during production of two or three, and saying: ‘I don’t really know what this means.’ He said, ‘Neither do I, but let’s just shoot it.’ This guy is this guy’s dad, and this guy was in love with this broad. It was like, ‘What?’”
Depp explains that for the fourth movie, the material was stripped down to its basic components, and a new, simpler story was developed to avoid overlapping plot lines that might lose the audience. Depp, whose Jack Sparrow character is the heart of the franchise, said he doesn't know how those other two sequels turned out.
“To be perfectly honest, I didn’t see them,” he said.. “I did see the first one. I have not seen the second one or the third one.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton Heading to Hollywood!
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit California, United States of America, following their tour of Canada in July this year," a statement from St. Jame's Palace said.
They'll apparently be in The Golden State from July 8th to the 10th, after their extensive tour of Canada, and a very detailed itinerary of their travels will be released "at a later date." Can't the Palace just say they're going to go bask in the sun, stay at a beachside 5-star resort, and meet some stars? We're just assuming that's most accurate.
Kate's never been to the big ol' USA, so the Los Angeles boardwalk roller blading is destined to be a culture shock for the Brit.
Kajol Devgan is joining back to work after her delivery
She was seen out of action since last year but is seen back in action again, though at this time she is shooting for ads only. The actress has made sure to commit time to her family on weekends. She had even informed her brand manager that family will always remain her first priority. The diva has always been very choosy about her outfits, work and everything else. She has always looked at the creative aspect of every venture which makes her work look simple yet stylish. Manish Malhotra who has been designing her outfits for films as well as endorsements agrees to the point that she has been very selective about everything. Now since she is back into shooting for brands, we hope to see her shooting for films too.
