Efron Is Prepared To Leave Teen Fans Behind

I doubt they want to leave him though, that is the main problem. I have to admit I do find Zac very attractive. Yes and he is the same age as me (I usually go for older) But Zac is just lovely. I will have him 🙂

High School Musical star Zac Efron is prepared to abandon the fans who helped him find fame – so he can ditch his ‘teen star’ tag.

The 21-year-old’s role in the Disney musical franchise helped Efron amass a huge teen following.

But the actor is desperate to take his career in a new direction, and recently bowed out of a movie remake of Kevin Bacon‘s Footloose for dark drama The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud – about a caretaker at a cemetery who has weekly meetings with the ghost of his deceased younger brother.

And Efron accepts his decision may cost him his fanbase.

The star says, “You’re never going to please everybody. I’m growing up and that’s a part of life, that’s the way it is. So I know that.”

Winstone And Knightley To Play Lovers

Very strange link . . . would have thought father and daugther. But Ray Winstone is the man or the daddy haha. Love him. Will be interested to see how this works out . . .

Ray Winstone and Keira Knightley are set to play unlikely lovers in a new gangster movie.

The pair has signed to star alongside Colin Farrell and Anna Friel in London Boulevard, The Departed screenwriter William Monahan‘s directorial debut.

Winstone will play a criminal who is released from prison and becomes romantically involved with a reclusive actress, played by Knightley.

It’s not the first time the British pair has shared the big screen – they were co-stars in 2004 film King Arthur.

The new movie will begin shooting in the British capital this summer.

Dyer Slams ‘Rubbish’ Horne

Now, now Danny Dyer . . . I think this is a bit harsh as Matthew Horne is very amusing and I always liked him in Teachers and then on the Catherine Tate show he always amused me. I dont think Danny can really critisise anyones acting skills, as his are not perfect. He always plays the same Cockney geezer. Dont get me wrong I do like Danny but he is very 1 dimensional.

Mathew Horne has been blasted by fellow Brit actor Danny Dyer – the Football Factory star slammed the funnyman’s onscreen performances as “absolute rubbish”.

Lesbian Vampire Killers star Horne first rose to fame in the U.K. in hit TV comedy series Gavin & Stacey.

But movie tough-guy Dyer has savaged Horne in a foul-mouthed rant – blasting his acting skills and mocking his image.

Dyer says, “Mathew Horne is one of the worst actors I’ve ever seen in my life. He’s just got nothing about him… No substance and no depth. It annoys me a bit that no one’s clocked (noticed) that. I’m not trying to do anyone out of a pound note, I just think they’re s**t. Mat is absolute rubbish.”

Milk Banned From Release In Samoa

I find it hard to believe that still some gay rights movies are stopped being shown in certain countries. Its terrible! Especially as this story is so important in the development of gay people still trying to get equal rights in living their lives.

A prominent human rights activist has blasted Samoa’s film censors for banning Sean Penn‘s Oscar-winning movie Milk.

Samoa’s Censorship Board has rejected an application for DVDs of the movie – which is based on the life of gay activist Harvey Milk – to be distributed in stores.

Principal Censor Leiataua Niuapu Faaui says, “There are rules and guidelines for these things.”

But the move has prompted outrage, with leading Samoan human rights activist Ken Moala angrily questioning the decision.

He say, “I do not think it should be banned. It is basically a documentary about the human endeavour to conquer something that people tend to discriminate against.

“It’s really harmless, I don’t know how it would affect Samoan lifestyle. It is totally different and not applicable to here, it is pretty tame really. Some of the movies that have been here are violent and horrific. When it comes to documentaries like this, I think it is all about the human story as opposed to the slaughter that goes on in some of these movies.”

Penn won an Academy Award in February for his portrayal of Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California.

Gervais Delight At Landing Fiennes

That is a very big plus for Ricky having Ralph Fiennes on board for his new movie.

Ricky Gervais has managed to snag a Hollywood star for his big-screen directorial debut – award-winning actor Ralph Fiennes has signed on to star in Cemetery Junction.

The British comedian has written his first movie with Stephen Merchant – his fellow creator of hit TV show The Office – which the pair will co-direct.

And Gervais is delighted he has managed to persuade Fiennes to take on a role in the upcoming comedy about a group of 20-somethings working at a bank in the 1970s.

Gervais says, “I bumped into him (Fiennes) at the Toronto Film Festival and told him I had written a part with him in mind. I sent him the script and what do you now? He is an amazing actor and will bring a real weight to the movie. Can’t wait.”

Filming on Cemetery Junction – which was originally due to be called The Men At The Pru – is scheduled to start later this year.

Statham Embarrassed By Public Sex Scene

Now thats a sight I would not complain about seeing. I love Jason he is such a manly-man. I am a very big fan.

Movie tough-guy Jason Statham was left red-faced filming a sex scene in a shopping mall – his fellow actors took photos of his bare buttocks.

The Transporter actor had to strip for a saucy scene in front of dozens of extras playing passers-by.

But the British star was in for an embarrassing surprise – when the bit-part actors decided to capture the moment on their cell phones.

Statham tells Ocean Drive magazine, “Trying to do an aggressive sex scene is quite difficult. Especially in a public place with a crowd of screaming extras with their little camera phones going click-click, taking pictures of your pasty white ass. I’ve had my fair share of bedroom antics in films, but they were a little more private.”

Caine: ‘I’ll Never Retire’

I think this is good, he will just keep on going.

Legendary movie star Michael Caine has vowed to keep on acting – as long as he is offered gritty roles.

The two-time Oscar winner has enjoyed major success on the big screen, appearing in more than 100 films throughout his lengthy career.

But the 76-year-old insists he has no plans to retire, and will happily take on any decent role he is offered.

He says, “I don’t think you ever retire from films – films retire you. Sometimes, if you’re unfortunate, after your first film. What happens is you say ‘I’m going to retire’. And then someone turns up and gives you this script. So you’re not retiring.

“I don’t have my next movie and I’m not looking for one. But someone will give me a script possibly and I’ll work again. If someone doesn’t give me a script that I want to do, I’ll retire. But there won’t be a great announcement or fanfare of trumpets. I just won’t do anything. I’ll stay at home and do what I always do, which is cooking, gardening and writing.”

Roberts Breath Woes On Set

I love Jules and find this really amusing.

Julia Roberts‘ love of peanut butter sandwiches caused a stink on the set of her new film Duplicity – she had bad breath during her love scenes with co-star Clive Owen.

Pretty Woman star Roberts and Owen have been firm friends since starring together in 2004’s Closer, and Roberts insists it made her more comfortable shooting the saucy scenes in their new movie.

But she often munched peanut butter sandwiches between takes – forcing her to freshen up before filming the intimate scenes.

Roberts says, “At least we could talk to each other and say, ‘Honey, do you have a mint? I’m sorry but I just had a peanut butter sandwich.'”

Hannah Montana Sings To Number One At U.S. Box Office

I think it was pretty obvious that this would go straight to number 1. As Hannah Montana is so popular. I really want to see it. haha.

Miley Cyrus‘ Hannah Montana: The Movie has taken over the top spot at the U.S. box office, boasting earnings of $34 million (£23.2 million) in its debut weekend (10-12Apr09).

It’s the second number one box office debut in America for Cyrus and her Disney alter-ego Hannah Montana – who took the top spot last year with a 3-D concert film.

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker‘s Fast & Furious was knocked from the top spot, but pulled in at second with earnings of $28.8 million (£19.6 million).

But the action film has held on to the title for the biggest opening weekend of 2009, boasting a two-week total of $118 million (£80.4 million).

Animated film Monsters vs Aliens took third place with $22.6 million (£15.4 million) and was followed by Seth Rogen‘s new comedy, Observe and Report, which debuted at $11.1 million (£7.5 million)

Nicolas Cage‘s thriller Knowing rounded out the top five, taking in $6.7 million (£4.6 million) in its fourth week at the box office.

Sheen Signs Up For New Moon

I think this will be very good for Michael Sheen. He is a terrific actor and totally deserves to be even bigger in the public spotlight.

Frost/Nixon star Michael Sheen is to star as a bloodsucking vampire in the highly anticipated Twilight sequel.

Sheen has agreed to take on a prominent role alongside fellow Brit Robert Pattinson in New Moon, director Chris Weitz has revealed.

He will play the character Aro – the leader of an Italian vampire clan called the Volturi.

Weitz says, “Michael’s role is so important because he’s the head of all vampires. Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat.”

Sheen will reportedly receive $7.3 million (£5 million) for taking on the role.

Filming on New Moon is scheduled to begin in Italy this spring.
