"Man on a Ledge’s" Sam Worthington’s girlfriend Crystal Humphries doesn’t work so she can accompany him everywhere

Sam Worthington and girlfriend Crystal Humphries

The ‘Man on a Ledge’ star split from stylist Natalie Mark in 2011 after almost three years together and he revealed his latest girlfriend Crystal Humphries is unemployed so that he has a constant companion as he travels the world for work.

He told Seven magazine: “She hangs out with me, she doesn’t need a job. I think I’m still a very difficult person to live with, because my motor’s always running but as you get older you try to slow down and live life at a calmer pace.

“My lifestyle is extremely weird so if you can be with a girl and have a level of normalcy, then constantly being on the move doing this kind of thing seems like a holiday adventure.”

Although Sam, 35, is from Perth, Australia, he has recently put down roots in Hawaii by buying a home because his dog needed somewhere to live.

He explained: “I got a place. I got a dog – a King Charles spaniel called Bacon that I got in England – so the dog needed a home. I love Hawaii, it’s sunny and beautiful and beachy. I like the lifestyle, the people and the culture. There I’m known as ‘the dude who lives up the road who has good coconut trees and a funny dog’.”

Reese Witherspoon is impressed with how Robert Pattinson handles his fame

Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon in "Water for Elephants"

The 'Twilight Saga' actor and his girlfriend and co-star Kristen Stewart are besieged by fans wherever they go and Reese - who has made two movies, 'Vanity Fair' and 'Water for Elephants' with Robert - admitted she would find it difficult to cope if she was in same situation.

She told MTV News: "I've never experienced what he has -- going to premieres and there's just millions of people waiting for him to touch them. I think it must be strange, but I don't even know how to process what he deals with and Kristen [Stewart] deals with. I don't know. [He's]a really cool guy."

Reese also revealed that fame hasn't changed 25-year-old Robert and says he is "appreciative" of his success.

She added: "I would say [he is] the hardest-working person I've ever worked with, honestly. [He's] professional, hard-working, so appreciative, more grateful than I've ever seen anyone for where he is in life."

Robert and Reese are so close that the British actor reportedly sent the 35-year-old star some glow-in-the-dark exercise clothes after she was hit by a car while out jogging last year to ensure she doesn't suffer the same fate again.

The gift parcel from Robert contained reflective vests, wrist bands, tennis shoes and a hat - all of which were designed by Stella McCartney - and was sent to the actress' house along with a note wishing her a speedy recovery.

A source said: "Reese was very touched by Rob's gesture.

"She intends to keep running and the gear will come in very handy when it's dark outside."

Robert Pattinson’s ‘Twilight’ costar Joe Anderson shares creepy fan experience

Robert Pattinson - wonder if he buzzed his hair to fend off fans? (Google Images)

It’s no surprise that Robert Pattinson and the rest of the ‘Twilight’ crew have some of the most dedicated fans in the world, but this story takes the Twihard fan worship to a whole other level.

In a recent interview with The Sioux City Journal, Pattinson’s ‘Twilight’ co-star Joe Anderson shared one of the more creepier moments that the megastar encountered. It seemed that Pattinson's famed locks were the target of the obsession.

"A woman was standing outside the Sutton Place in Vancouver with a pair of scissors. She had flown from England to cut some of Robert Pattinson's hair for a doll."

Thankfully, Pattinson wasn’t injured and didn’t face any serious altercation with the obsessive fan. Creepy stuff though!

Anderson, who’s also starred in ‘Across the Universe’ and more recently alongside Liam Neeson in ‘The Grey,’  also shares his experience with the dedicated ‘Twilight’ fan brood.

"I hadn't even arrived at the motel and already there was fan mail. They figured out where I was going to be -- and I didn't even know. But every one of those letters was so genuine and so sweet."

On filming the final installment of the ‘Twilight’ series, Anderson talked about his acting method. “There's not a lot of rehearsal. So before a scene with Kristen (Stewart) I had to gun up the character from the trailer to the stage. It's the first time you see this guy come to life. But until you get the gear on, you're not quite sure what he's going to be."

Joe Anderson is starring alongside Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the final installment of the ‘Twilight’ franchise - ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2’ - which is due for release this fall.

Channing Tatum shocked Rachel McAdams by sporting a fake penis on the set of the "Vow"

The ‘Vow’ co-stars were shooting a scene where Rachel’s character – who has lost her memory – sees her husband, played by Channing, naked and the actor decided to play a practical joke on Rachel by having the props department make a huge prosthetic penis for him to wear.

Rachel told Stella magazine: “Channing got the props department to make a prosthetic member. Literally a fake penis. I didn’t know what to do. I thought, ‘Is this the real deal?’ It was very realistic. It was ridiculous, the scale of it.”

Rachel, 33 – who lives in Toronto - is currently dating British actor and her ‘Midnight In Paris’ co-star Michael Sheen and admitted they have to make a huge effort to make their long-distance relationship work.

She explained: “Michael and I never spend more than three weeks apart – we rack up a lot of air miles – but you have to be quite adaptable in this business whether you are in a relationship or not. Trying to establish roots somewhere is a bit of a joke.”

Holly Sweeney refuses to blame Caroline Wozniacki for Rory McIlroy break-up

Caroline Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy’s former girlfriend Holly Sweeney insists she is still ‘good friends’ with the golfing superstar despite their very public split.

Sweeney told Irish television’s Saturday Night Show that she remains on good terms with the golfer, now dating tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.

She also revealed she doesn’t hold Wozniacki responsible for the break-up, admitted she knew something was up after his trip to Germany when he first met the tennis star and laughed that she got custody of their DVD collection while he kept the dogs.

“Why should I blame her?” asked Sweeney in her interview with presenter Brendan O’Connor.

“We are friends, of course. We still talk. Why should I remember the six years that were fantastic for one last horrible memory?

“I am not going to speak ill of Rory, why should I ruin six great years with one bad memory?”

Holly added: “I took all the DVDs. He got to keep the dogs. It’s unfair for them to run around in an apartment rather than however many acres of land there is. I have visitation rights.

“They got their Christmas dinner so I got a little picture.”

A Belfast based student, Sweeney confirmed that McIlroy had a ‘crush’ on Wozniacki even before they met at a boxing match in Germany last year.

“He went to a boxing match with a couple of his friends and I didn’t really hear from him. I let him be because he was with his mates and having a good time and he came back and I got a little bit of a blank,” she revealed.

“I thought, ‘Oh no, something has happened here.’ We sat down and talked it through and it ended up we weren’t together at the end of that night.

“I had seen a tweet from McIlroy saying he had met Wozniacki while he was at the match. I didn’t really read too much into it. Why would you?

“It was just one wee tweet. It kind of niggled but it didn’t really play a big part. He watched the tennis all the time and that was his crush. I thought, ‘Right, OK, so they met each other, that’s fine.’”

McIlroy however ended their six-year relationship when he flew home from Germany.

Sweeney said: “He had his doubts again and, fair enough, I wasn’t going to stick around and make his life miserable, so I thought ‘Right, OK, I’ll do whatever makes you happy.’

“That’s what you do for love, even if it is heart-breaking.”

Currently unattached, Sweeney is on the look-out for romance. She joked: “I wish there was someone special in my life but no I haven’t found anybody. I just knock them straight back.”

Melissa McCarthy starstruck by Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep - VIDEOS

Melissa McCarthy

The always endearing Melissa McCarthy stopped by Ellen DeGeneres’ show ‘Ellen’ yesterday and chatted about her her star-struck meetings with Hollywood A-listers like Brad and Angelina, and Meryl Streep. The Irish American actress also shared her disbelief in finding out that she had been nominated for an Oscar for her hilarious role in this summer’s hit ‘Bridesmaids.’

While meeting with the gorgeous Hollywood duo Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, McCarthy admits to being a little overwhelmed by the power couple. “They're so nice and chatty and really bubbly. Finally, I got a little weird and I was like, 'You have to stop for a minute because it's a lot visually to take in,” said McCarthy.

“They just kind of laughed. I said, 'no really. It is a lot visually to take in.' She's like weirdly glowing. She's so beautiful. He's kind of cute too. And then I was like, 'Okay, I'm sorry.' I needed to like regroup because they're kind of of a lot."

And, as if meeting the famed Brangelina wasn’t enough, McCarthy ran into another superstar, one that’s she’s always dreamed of meeting.

"As I'm talking to them somebody is pulling on my hand and I hear, 'Melissa, Melissa.' And I turned around and she said, 'Hi, I'm Meryl.’ Literally like my brain snapped in two. And then I really didn't know what to say. I just kept going 'Oh my God. You're Meryl Streep!' And she was chatting like a normal human being.”

McCarthy also shared with Ellen the disbelief she found herself in when she found out earlier this week that she had been nominated for an Academy Award for her role in ‘Bridesmaids.’

“I never expected anything,” said McCarthy of receiving the coveted nomination.

“I got real weird. I just kept saying ‘What are you watching, what are you watching?’” said McCarthy of her and husband watching the live presentation of the Oscar nominations.

“It’s a different show! It’s a different show!” said a very confused and shocked McCarthy after hearing her name announced for Best Supporting Actress.

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

Matthew Broderick has sent ‘Ferris Bueller’ fans everywhere into a tizzy with a new 10 second teaser clip that has been circulating the Internet.

"30 Rock's" Alec Baldwin wants more children

Alec Baldwin and his daughter Ireland

The 53-year-old actor - who has 16-year-old daughter Ireland with ex-wife Kim Basinger - admits he has considered the "fantastic" possibility of starting a family with his 27-year-old girlfriend, yoga instructor named Hilaria Thomas.

He said: "Have I thought about having more kids? Oh sure, that would be great, that would be heaven, that would be fantastic."

He jokingly added: "As my friend said to me, 'When you have children, typically in a second marriage, when you're older and you get married again to a woman who would have children, you must always remember that you make sure the children attend a college where the commencement ceremonies are held in a facility with a wheelchair accessible ramp,' "

The '30 Rock' star was resigned to leading an "unhappy" life alone before he met Hilaria, who he has been dating since last March.

He told TV talk show host Piers Morgan: "It is true what people always say, and it's tough to make your way to that place, I guess, where you stop looking.

"I was married and I was with somebody for 10 years and then after I got divorced, I dated people and I had one girlfriend for several years... and right before I met Hilaria.

"I did lay in my bed and say, 'This is it. I'm gonna be alone for the rest of my life, I'm gonna die alone in this apartment in this bed, I'll have my friends, I'll have twitter, I'll have Words with Friends, I'll have my New Yorker subscription... I'll have my quiet, unhappy life', and then right when I put it all on the shelf, and it was over I walked into a restaurant and I met this woman who is probably one of the greatest people I've ever met in my life."

Charlie Sheen thinks "Two and a Half Men" should be axed - says Ashton Kutcher deserves better

Charlie Sheen and Ashton Kutcher

The 43-year-old actor - who was sacked from the sitcom last year because of his erratic behavior and public criticisms of creator Chuck Lorre - thinks his replacement Ashton Kutcher and the rest of the cast are being given substandard material to work with and says they "deserve" better.

He said: "I don't think it should go on past this year. I just think that people are there because there's nowhere else to go. Yet.

"Hats off to Ashton for doing the best job that he can. I don't think that he's working with the best writing because [Lorre is] doing too many shows. He and [Jon Cryer] and [Angus T. Jones] deserve better material."

Despite his comments, Charlie - who is now working on a new comedy show, 'Anger Management' - insists he doesn't care what happens to the show because he has moved on and now feels "free".

He added to The Hollywood Reporter: "I don't want to harp on them. Let the clueless stay clueless. I was a puppet there for ratings. But whatever, I don't care. I've moved on, and whatever they're doing there is none of my business."

"Whatever started with Chuck rolled down to all of us. I'm not saying it was s**t, but I'm not saying it was f**king gold either. But whatever, man, they're doing their thing and I'm free from their bondage."

He may be disappointed with the quality of 'Two and a Half Men', but Charlie promised fans will love his new show.

He said: "We will not disappoint. At this stage of the game, to deliver a turd? It's not going to happen.

"It's going to be an absolute f**king rocket ship to the moon."

Troubled Oscar nominee Sinead O'Connor back with her husband Barry Herridge for a second time

Sinead O'Connor in the "Nothing Compares 2 U" period

The 'Nothing Compares 2 U' singer - who split with drugs therapist Barry Herridge after 16 days of marriage in December, before reconciling and then later separating again - has claimed her partner is returning to their home and says she is now happy again.

She wrote in a series of posts on twitter: "Yay. My sweet husband is coming home. Very happy girl. Must get pretty-fied by 8pm. Thank u God. Me love me sweet husband so bad. Yay!! :)

"Sorry if too much info or too personal.. Just.. Me so happy. Wus sad without him. Love him rotten bad. So me all happy now.. Hurray!!!(sic)"

Sinead - who has been married twice before - previously claimed the harsh treatment of the Irish media had driven him away, despite her also claiming he had become nervous when she had gone out to find drugs on the first night of their marriage in Las Vegas.

She wrote in a statement: "His association with me became something very bad for his life. And slowly since we were married I became very ill as result of what was done to my husband and I was unable to cope. And became depressed.

"The behaviour of one particular paper resulted in very serious damage to my husband and myself personally and consequently made the marriage untenable so that it is now over and I hope the media will kindly leave the poor man alone to get on with his life (sic)."

Last week, the 45-year-old star - who claims she tried to kill herself while in Los Angeles earlier this month - said she had checked into an Irish hospital to be treated for depression.

She tweeted: "Gonna be off radar for few weeks. But will be back. Worry not. :)

"im going to hospital. Treatment for depression. Not at all well. But they will put me back together quick. so will be back.. and smiling. Prolly 2 weeks ish..(sic)"

John Travolta's vintage Mercedes has been found chopped up after it was stolen

John Travolta

The 'Pulp Fiction' actor's 1970 automobile was stolen in September when he visited a Jaguar dealership in Santa Monica for 10 minutes, but it has now partially been recovered.

Sgt Richard Lewis, who was investigating the theft, revealed: "It was not recovered in whole. It was chopped. We have numerous pieces recovered but not the entire car."

Two men have been arrested for the crime - D L Rayford Jr. pleaded no contest to grand theft auto earlier this month, while Michael T. Green has pleaded not guilty to two counts.

Rayford has been ordered to pay John $50,000 in restitution and has must serve 16 months in jail, while Green remains in Jail without bail.

Although they were arrested earlier this month the information was not made public so a larger investigation into the car theft ring was not compromised.

Speaking last year, John - who is also a qualified pilot - admitted he was glad it was not his private jet that got stolen instead.

He joked: "I was looking for Jaguars, and it was a beautiful, spotless dealership and I left it parked on the side.

"And eight to 10 minutes later, my car was gone. And it's like that movie, 'Gone in 60 Seconds', like, who can explain it?

"But at least it wasn't a jet, though that might be easier to find."

The actor - who was fired from hit sitcom 'Two and a Half Men' is making his television comeback in the FX programme which will air in June and he admitted Selma, 39, would be his ideal leading lady.

Speaking to 'Access Hollywood' he said: "[Selma Blair] is a strong frontrunner. She's a very special lady and is as pretty as the day is long and has never really had the opportunity to do something where she can shine, because off camera she's hilarious. I think she's one of the prettiest women in Hollywood."

It was one of those trips that re-established what should have been in place a long time ago. But things happen when they're supposed to. I came home with like a whole new family.

"She's really fabulous, best mom in the world. I'm like, 'Why did I leave her?' Oh right, she left me!"

George Clooney is working on a prank that could end Brad Pitt's career

Brad Pitt and George Clooney

The 'Descendants' star is notorious for playing practical jokes on his co-stars and joked he is preparing a massive gag that could have serious repercussions for his close pal.

Speaking on 'Inside the Actors Studio', he said: "I have done some horrible things to people. Truly, truly horrible. I owe him, so I'm getting him.

"I'm working on one right now for Brad Pitt. It might end his career.

"I've been working on it for two years. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but just know, I got it."

However, there could be a long wait before George executes his prank as the 50-year-old star - who is currently dating former WWE wrestler Stacy Keibler - recently admitted some of his jokes have "taken years" to pull off.

He added: "You set a bit of a trap and then you watch it slowly unfold. I've had ones that have taken years."

George's scheme is unlikely to upset Brad, 48, as the 'Moneyball' actor is also a fan of jokes, and the 'Ides of March' recently described him as a "brutal" prankster.

He said: "My friends are rough on me. Brad Pitt's brutal, and Matt Damon.

"My friends used to change my outgoing phone message all the time. This was the old days, when you had a phone machine. They would change the message to something horrible and there was nothing I could do to change it back. That was always brilliant."

'Breaking Dawn' director thinks Robert Pattinson is great with kids

While Robert Pattinson may be one of the hottest actors in Hollywood – and allegedly one of the worst kissers there too, 'Breaking Dawn' director Bill Condon describes in the DVD commentary of the movie that his leading man also has some other surprising talents.

"He is unbelievably tender with babies — with children, not just babies. He was with Mackenzie Foy, too. There's something that changes about him when he's with children. He's just so sweet and caring, and I think you really get a little glimpse of that here," he said, according to Hollywood Life.

Pattinson will soon be seen on the big screen in the indie flick 'Cosmopolis,' but the director of that movie, David Cronenberg, recently told MTV that the actor would be portraying a very different character.

“If you're a 'Twilight' fan, then you might not be interested in 'Cosmopolis' because Rob is not Mr. Cullen. But if you're a Rob fan, then you've got to be interested in 'Cosmopolis,' because you will see him as you have not seen him before, for sure,” he said.

Will Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart attend the Oscars this year?

So we know the “Twilight” couple spend most of their time squirreled up in their London apartment eating weirdly flavored “crisps” (British for chips) but there’s lots of chatter on the Internet that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be making an appearance on the red carpet at the Oscars this year.

E! Online thinks they’ll be there too. Firstly, RPattz will have put in some practice in front of the paparazzi at the Berlin Film Festival, for the premiere of “Bel Ami”. And Kristen Stewart will be out and about promoting “Snow White and the Huntsman” by then too. It just makes sense!

‘Glee’s’ Darren Criss a major box office earner on Broadway - $4 million in three weeks

Harry Potter's spell on Broadway has been surpassed by all singing, all dancing triple threat hunk actor Darren Criss. In his third and final week as the lead in the musical 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,' the beaming 'Glee' star has demonstrated he's a one of a kind box office draw.

Daniel Radcliffe’s run was no slouch either, leaving in a nine-show week that grossed $1.9 million, but Criss's sudden appearance in the leading role has coincided with the three most lucrative weeks of its 11-month run.

Over the last three weeks 'How to Succeed' took in more than $1.3 million per week, a figure at or near the production’s potential top gross.

Excited producers now see evidence that he'll be able to sustain a longer lucrative Broadway run if - and it's a big if - 'Glee's' producers allow him to skip their expected summer concert tour and return when 'Glee' is off the air. (Nick Jonas, one of the teen favorite Jonas brothers, is contracted to play the lead through July 1, leaving an opening for Criss’ return if he can schedule it).

In an upcoming interview with CNN host Piers Morgan, actor Alec Baldwin turns the tables and begins to ask the British host in a fake, yet well done, British accent questions on his own love life.

"But I must ask you Piers, have you ever been properly in love? I was asked by your staff to pose this very question to you,” said Baldwin in his British impersonation.

The two were chatting about life at the time, and Baldwin went on to elaborate how the relationship he is in at the moment is the first time he’s ever been “properly in love” and that the rest was just “child’s play.”

Morgan was a great sport, laughing along with British Baldwin and even complimenting his accent.

Irish American Drew Barrymore discusses converting to fiancée’s Jewish faith

Drew Barrymore

Just days after Liam Neeson said he would consider converting to Islam, Irish American actress Drew Barrymore has said she is considering converting to Judaism for her fiancée, art consultant Will Kopelman.

The star of “Big Miracle” told In Touch magazine that she has had great support from her friend and fellow actor Adam Sandler who has been helping her with the process of converting.

A source said, “Those two absolutely adore each other, so it only made sense to Drew that he will be right by her side playing an important role at her wedding.”

Although the actor’s rep denied knowledge of the conversion, when asked by the New York Daily News, an insider also reported that Kopelman and Barrymore plan to raise their children in the Jewish faith.

The famed child star of “ET” is reeling from her holiday engagement.

She told Robin Robert on “Good Morning America” “I’m like, ‘Oh goodness, it just happened a month ago! Do I not have it together or is it okay to keep daydreaming?’

“We’re trying to figure it out. I think everyone expects you to kind of know right away what the plans are.”

She continued “For his happiness and people’s happiness, this is a really positive story and this is a positive time, and I like positivity…I’m just drawn to it.”

Is Patriots' Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s marriage a “career move” or “publicity stunt”

Tom Brady and Gisele Bunchen

Many people are surprised that so many celebrity weddings end in divorce, but only celebrities themselves understand why.

First of all, when you're not living in reality, or at least not a reality that 99% of Americans will ever experience, the normal rules no longer apply. Rules are for the little people.

Tom Brady, who will lead the New England Patriots against the New York Giants in the Super Bowl in a few weeks, knows all about it by now.

Brady has been married to the Brazilian-German super-model Gisele Bundchen for just under two years, an absolute lifetime in celerity wedding years, and the couple has a baby son.

-----------------

But longtime celebrity watchers are already predicting the couple will end their marriage in a year or at the most two because the fact is Tom and Gisele do not live in the real world - they live in a series of massive mansions and they employ legions of dedicated staff just to run their bloated homes and careers.

Hollywood teaches that celebrities at their level simply don't marry for love, they marry for publicity, and publicity keeps them famous, and fame keeps them rich.

So with Brady’s NFL career in the final stretch and Bundchen's name out of the headlines, the most cynical observers predict a divorce will help maintain the public’s flagging interest once their careers finally go off the boil.

You can have it all, it appears - well, you can have fame and money - but at the level of fame that Tom and Gisele have reached there's a point where love begins to look like a pointless distraction. We'll know if that's true before too long.

Ashton Kutcher's ex, Demi Moore is reportedly being treated for anorexia

Demi Moore

The 49-year-old actress - who filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher, her husband of six years, in November, after he was accused of cheating on her - was rushed to hospital on Monday night and is said to be seeking professional help for the eating disorder after her weight plummeted in recent weeks.

An insider told RadarOnline.com: "She collapsed after having an epileptic seizure. Demi is in getting treated for anorexia, as well as other issues that caused her seizure.

"She has not taken care of her health at all lately and has lost a lot of weight."

After being taken to hospital earlier in the week, a representative for the 'Ghost' star claimed she was being treated for "exhaustion" and looking to improve her "overall health".

She said: "What scares me is that I'm going to ultimately find out at the end of my life that I'm really not lovable, that I'm not worthy of being loved.

"That there's something fundamentally wrong with me and that I wasn't wanted here in the first place."

Liam Neeson says he wont play head of WWE Vince McMahon

Liam Neeson and Vince McMahon

Liam Neeson, starring this week in the new film The Grey, is plenty busy these days with a number of projects on deck – but portraying Vince McMahon, head of the WWE, isn’t one of them.

During a press junket to promote The Grey, Neeson denied a rumor that he was preparing to play wrestling impresario McMahon in a new film about Chris Benoit, the former WWE champ who killed his wife and young son and then took his own life back in 2007. The shocking murder-suicide made international headlines for days, and cast a harsh light on McMahon’s WWE and steroid abuse among pro wrestlers.

Neeson told reporters that he had never heard of the Benoit movie, that he knows very little about McMahon and that he’s not a pro wrestling fan, so therefore he wouldn’t take the role on.  “I can’t see you doing that, dude,” added The Grey director Joe Carnahan, for extra emphasis.  So that’s that, then.

Neeson will be all over movie screens this year with a number of starring roles.

In March look for him in Wrath of the Titans, a sequel to Clash of the Titans; the following month he stars with superstar singer Rihanna in Battleship, and come October he’ll be seen in the sequel to Taken, the biggest hit of his career which earned more than $200 million in worldwide box office receipts in 2008.

Neeson told the press that he’s delighted to still be considered an action star as he nears his 60th birthday in June.

“They’re offering me stuff, which is unbelievably flattering,” he says.

“Seriously, since this silly Taken movie came out, they’re throwing these thriller, assassin movies at me. Some are good, some aren’t so good. It’s terrific, I love it. As long as my knees don’t give out, I love it.

“I’ll give them another 18 months, then that’ll be it, you know? Otherwise it gets silly.”

Speaking of the big 6-0, Neeson says he’s in no mood to celebrate the landmark.

“My sons were saying the other day, ‘Dad, we’re going to throw you a big party for your birthday.’  I said, ‘No, we’re not!’” he said. 

“I really hate it.  I’m not going to celebrate it. What am I going to do? Go to a strip club or something like that?  I can’t do it.”

Bono’s daughter Eve Hewson and Sean Penn promote “This Must be the Place” at Sundance - VIDEO

Sean Penn and Eve Hewson

Eve Hewson – also known as Bono’s daughter – was at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday to promote her first big film, This Must Be the Place, which stars Sean Penn.

Hewson, only 19 but a beauty who strongly resembles her mom (sorry, Dad!), seemed to enjoy the press attention at the annual mega-watt event in Utah. One paper reported that she didn’t flinch when some dopey reporter asked if she’d ever been to Dublin.

"I always wanted to go to Sundance. I came two years ago, just with friends, and we went to see some movies. And I thought, 'God, I really want to have a movie here!'" she said.

The film sees Penn playing an aging G0th-style rock star named Cheyenne, who gives up his successful career to live an anonymous life in Ireland with his wife, played by fellow Oscar winner Frances McDormand.

No longer interested in fame, Cheyenne eventually sets out on a mission across the U.S. to find a former Nazi who brutalized his father in a concentration camp in Auschwitz.  The film will be distributed by the Weinstein Company, and though it had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last year, there’s still no definitive U.S. release date yet, at least not that we’ve seen.

How does Bono compare to Penn’s Cheyenne character? "I wouldn't say my dad is anything like this character. Very, very different,” Hewson said.

Penn, she added, was great to work with.

"It was a little scary. I remember when I got the part, I watched all his movies. All of them, going back to Bad Boys. So I was trying to do my homework. But when I met him, he was great. I think we had a good working relationship,” she told the press.

Hewson plays a teenage Goth friend of Cheyenne’s in Dublin. Working with two esteemed actors like Penn and McDormand was an unforgettable experience, she says.

"I looked at the call sheet and my name was smack in the middle of Frances McDormand and Sean Penn and it was, like, 'How is this happening? This is unreal.' It was very intimidating. I saved the call sheet,” she revealed.

The film opens in the U.K., and presumably Ireland, next month.

Here's a brief video that Hewson made with Vanity Fair magazine at Cannes:

Demi Moore heads for rehab amid rumors of anorexia and drug abuse - VIDEO

Recently divorced actress Demi Moore was rushed to the hospital late on Monday night after an ambulance was called to her Beverly Hills home. The actress is reportedly being treated for exhaustion.

In a statement to Access Hollywood on Tuesday, Moore’s reps said “Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health. She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends.”

While her rep’s maintain that Moore is being treated for “exhaustion,” other rumors are flying that the extremely thin Moore may be dealing with anorexia, as well as drug abuse problems. In fact, the DailyMail reports that a source said that Moore was in the midst of an epileptic seizure when the ambulance was called for on Monday night.

'She collapsed after having an epileptic seizure... she has not taken care of her health at all lately and has lost a ton of weight,” said the unnamed source.

In the wake of her medical treatment, it has also been confirmed that Moore will be pulling out of her latest film project ‘Lovelace,’ which is a biopic about the pornstar Linda Lovelace. Moore was set to play feminist activist Gloria Steinem.

Moore made headlines back in November when she announced she would be separating from her husband of six years Ashton Kutcher. While the two have officially separated, divorce papers have yet to be filed.

Kutcher was spotted in Sao Paolo, Brazil during the week partying it up at a Bruno Mars concert.

In an upcoming issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Moore is quoted as saying “I would say that what scares me is that I'm going to ultimately find out at the end of my life that I'm really not lovable, that I'm not worthy of being loved, that there's something fundamentally wrong with me."

Here, catch a video report on Demi Moore:

The 'Broken Lines' star – who has been married to the actress for eight years – explained while his spouse is "very beautiful", he finds it frustrating that she always "moves at her own pace".

He said: "My poor wife. She moves at her own pace – she's sort of slightly in slow motion, it's mesmerizing and very beautiful – and I'm like, 'C'mon, c'mon', we're going to be late."

Paul explained his home life has changed since becoming a father to Stellan, eight, and seven-month-old Agnes, as well as raising Kai, Jennifer's 14-year-old son from a previous relationship, as he turns down movie projects because his kids need to know he'll be around.

He added in an interview with Observer Food Monthly magazine: "I don't want to sound like it's been a sacrifice for me. Sometimes you make decisions to not work and be with your family.

"I have children – they need to know Dad's going to come home."

However, Paul admitted while as an actor he can make mistakes, the same cannot be said for being a parent.
He explained: "You can fudge a lot as an actor but you can't fudge being a parent."

The pair star as Sabina Spielrein and her therapist Carl Jung in the David Cronenberg movie and Keira, 26, admitted they got through the more uncomfortable scenes - which include Michael spanking her - by turning to alcohol.

Keira told Culture magazine: "We only had one or two shots maximum. It was a vodka shot to calm our nerves and away you go really. Then we had champagne. We drank quite a lot of champagne actually. You can count on Michael to buy a bottle of champagne when one is required. The vodka and champagne is a good combination."

Keira also revealed she now only chooses roles that challenge her and she loves to be frightened by her movies.

She added: "I think all the work I have done over the past five years has looked for the thing that really frightens me - the thing that I really don't know how to do. I think it is for selfish reasons. If you manage to do something that is a big challenge, you get a hell of a lot out of it, regardless of whether the end product works or not."

Can't we just call her Princess Catherine as they do in America? She has not put a foot wrong. She even looks like a princess. I think Prince William has done a great job and taught her what to expect. She is flawless in everything, her clothes, her smile, her attitude."

George Clooney couldn't relate to his character in 'The Descendants' - VIDEO

George Clooney in "The Descendants"

The 50-year-old actor plays Matt King - a wealthy man who sets out with his two daughters to find the lover of his ailing wife - in the drama and though he had little in common with his alter ego, he doesn't think that is important.

George - who won Best Actor for his role in the movie at last weekend's Golden Globes - said: "This guy is really going through a phase in his life where he wants to do right by everyone, and I don't know that that would be part of my make-up. He's caught p in a strange place in his life and career.

"I enjoyed playing the character but I don't know that I can relate to him. But part of my job is to do what is asked of me in the script and not have to worry about whether it pertains to me or not.

"You don't have to actually shoot heroin to play a drug addict, you know."

The couple bought the house in 2008 for $11 million, according to the Daily Mail. They had initially drawn up plans to modify the home but these were reviewed because it just wasn’t big enough.

Money is no object for this pair. Last year, Forbes reported that the couple earned $76 million in 2010. They’re officially to the top earning couple in the world.

The house is located next to the hills so the couple can hike and walk their dogs. It’s also located close to Bridget Moynahan’s house, Brady’s ex, where she lives with his four-year-old son John.

Of course, the perfect couple have also built the perfect home which is environmentally friendly. The house uses solar-energy, energy-saving lighting, rainwater recovery systems, waste reduction, recycling programs, energy efficient appliances and sustainable building materials.

So, Tom Brady is a QB for the New England Patriots on his way to the Super Bowl again, married to one of the world’s biggest supermodels, he’s gorgeous, has two beautiful sons, a $20 million mansion and he’s raking in cash…but really, do we think he’s happy?

Robin Gibb has vowed to continue his charity work, despite battling liver cancer

Robin Gibb

The 62-year-old music legend has undergone an intensive eight-week course of chemotherapy in his fight against the disease, which has left him feeling frail and drained, but earlier this week he signed up to be a patron of music project Rock The House.

A friend of the Bee Gees singer told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "He's very strong willed - if anyone can beat this it's Robin."

Despite feeling "very unwell", Robin was upset at missing out on a charity event for Rock The House - which was started by Conservative MP Mike Weatherley to support musicians from across the UK.

Speaking at the event, his spokesman and long-standing friend Mick Garbutt explained: "He would have absolutely loved to be here in person, but unfortunately that simply hasn't been possible with his health.

"It is true to say he is very unwell, but he's an incredible man and enjoys lots of support from his close circle of friends and family, and particularly from his wife Dwina.

"He's determined to keep supporting good causes which he believes in strongly even as he fights this terrible illness. The support he has been receiving from fans has been fantastic - he's a national treasure really. While he can still use his profile to raise awareness for issues close to his heart he will always do so."

Despite his commitment to the charity, Mick admitted Robin is "very unwell".

He added: "He is receiving regular chemotherapy and fighting hard. He is also heading home to be with his family at every possible opportunity as that's where he feels comfortable, but the reality is that he is very unwell."

Robin - who lives in Thame, Oxfordshire, South East England with Dwina - is determined to beat the disease and plans to attend the launch of his new classical composition in early April.

Mick said: "He has set himself a goal to be at the gala performance of his first classical composition in April and everybody around him hopes that he will be there."

In November 2011, Robin - who is a teetotal vegan - revealed he was suffering from liver cancer, which was diagnosed in April.
