Hollywood star George Clooney has opened up about aging as after appearing on the red carpet at a movie premiere.

The grey-haired actor revealed: “I’m old. It’s an interesting thing to watch yourself grow older on screen.

“I was watching Up In The Air and I thought: ‘Jesus, who’s the old grey-haired guy?’ And it was me. I never wear make-up for movies and now it’s starting to show.”

Clooney, in London to promote three new movies, said: “It’s funny because most male actors work with actresses who are considerably younger.

“But earlier in my career I was working with a lot of actresses who were my age or older so people always thought I was older anyway and now I’m going through this thing with people thinking I’m about 60.

“But I’m kind of comfortable with getting older because it’s better than the other option, which is being dead. So I’ll take getting older!”

Clooney stars in three films screening at the London Film Festival – Up in the Air, The Fantastic Mr Fox and The Men Who Stare At Goats.

Hollywood stars such as Richard D Jenkins have been visiting the holy city of Varanasi in India.

The spot is considered to be the most-sacred spot on earth by many Hindus and it is claimed Jenkins, who starred in the movie The Visitor, offered diya, a lamp, to the holy river Ganga.

He also visited the Ganga arti, which is a ceremony performed in adoration of a deity and was said to be moved by the city.

It is claimed Billy Crudup, who appeared in Almost Famous, and Emmy-nominated star Ryan Murphy accompanied Jenkins to Varanasi.

All the actors were in India to film the movie Eat, Pray, Love, which also stars Julia Roberts.

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed welcomed the Hollywood stars to Varanasi and said that as the actors are able to travel the world, they should familiarise themselves with different religions.

The Fantastic Four actress’ efforts, however, may have landed her in trouble with cops.

One US report claims Alba has been cited in a police report that alleges vandalism after the posters could not be removed due to a strong glue.

Alba has so far made no comment on the incident.

Alba apparently joined the White Mike campaign, putting posters on a billboard, bridge and electrical boxes.

White Mike is dedicated to saving great whites and their dwindling population and has already plastered its posters in celeb-rich neighourhoods of Los Angeles.

Alba was in Oklahoma to film The Killer Inside Me with Casey Affleck and Kate Hudson.

The indie flick is the story of a West Texas sheriff unmasked by a psychotic thriller.

Their careers may not be stellar at this time but husband and wife team Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are still hugging the limelight thanks to their misadventures at home or outside of their home. The two earlier made it to the news when Kutcher castigated their neighbor for doing constructing work very early in the morning. This time, the couple is in the headlines for being Hollywood’s worst-dressed celebrities.

The fur-wearing couple has been cited by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as fashion victims. Moore leads PETA’s annual list of shame and next to her is Kutcher. Moore has often been photographed wearing fur while Kutcher got PETA’s ire after he was seen wearing a coyote fur coat during the Sundance Film Festival. The couple should not feel lonely though because they have great company–other stars like Jessica Simpson, Madonna, Kanye West, Lindsay Lohan, twins Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen and Mary J. Blige also made the list. These celebrities follow the footsteps of former worst-dressed acers Aretha Franklin and Marilyn Manson. Don’t worry folks you still have until March 2 to cast your vote online!

Mickey Rourke is being touted as Hollywood’s latest comeback king and he has vowed that he will make amends for lost time post recapturing his acting career, acknowledging he’ll be dropped like a rock if he falls off the rails again.

At the age of 52 Mickey managed to make a triumph return to the sliver screen after more than a 10 years in the Hollywood wilderness battling drug addiction. But lady luck smiled on his on his return movie The Wrestler and that role has already earned him a string of award nominations – and he is hotly tipped for an Oscar.

That’s really a dream comeback for anyone, it does show that life is kind to those who give it a second chance, life is willing to forgive it you are ready to correct your mistakes and life is ready to be happy if after losing some of your hair on your scalp you are willing lick some ass.

Yes exactly life is not kind he must have kissed several producer’s ass just to sit in their office. The showbiz is a business of give and take and this chap really would have had his ass skimmed off before landing that role.

Catherine Hardwicke, who delivered the biggest opening weekend ever for a female film director, will not be getting the chance to top that record with the next Twilight film.
What? Why?
The story was first reported by the blog Deadline Hollywood Daily, and by Sunday night Variety had a statement from the director.
“I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct New Moon,” said Hardwicke. “Directing Twilight has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel—it is a great story.”
So it is.
Sad news?
Is it a business decision?
Why did they do that?
Am I the only who thinks that this seems like a decision that might put the series in jeopardy?

The memoirs of movie legend Roger Moore could be turned into a Hollywood biopic and Johnny Depp is all set to star in that movie being planned on the life of the former James Bond actor.

Johnny Depp??? Now those who are scouting to have this chap play Roger Moore should hear to what I have to say. You will have to place more actors on your books. You must know that other leading actors would not be part of a project that stars Johnny Depp.

Personally I have nothing against Johnny and he really can act, but he won’t be able to do proper justice to the demand of playing Roger Moore. May be he should not take up the role him self.

No doubt he played the role of a pirate really well, and there will be other good movies not connected to being a pirate no doubt, but don’t get carried away. There are other talented actors in Hollywood who would really do the job much better. We do not need a debonair to play Roger Moore although that could be a pre-requisite for some fans.

Well ‘Die Hard’ series star Bruce Wills has made an interesting admission about himself and Hollywood. Bruce has said that he completely wishes that his daughter Rumer does not become a Hollywood actress because it is “full of people like” him.

Bruce is the father of three children with Demi Moore and is suspicious of many people like him in Hollywood but also has complete faith in his daughter’s abilities to stay firm and take care of her self well.

In his own words Bruce said: “I worry about her being in show business. It is full of people like me. But she has turned out so well. We did not push her into acting. She just sat me and Demi down and said, ‘Look, I know you both think you’re big shots but I don’t want any help. I want to do this by myself.’ She went out there and did it by herself and I am sure she can look after herself.”

Tell you the truth guys, Hollywood is a place for insane people, its murkier than it looks and scandals and breakup and hookups are just hurdled at the speed of an F1 car. Staying afloat is hard and drowning is way too tempting.

If someone conducts a “Cleopatra” competition in Hollywood, who would be the winner of the contest to be the best-suited actress to perform the role of an old Egyptian queen, who is considered to be the icon of beauty.

Well! If your imagination has a limit, don’t worry! The directors in the film industry have no such limits.

Hollywood director Steven Soderbergh has identified the beauty queen Catherine Zeta-Jones for the top role in his new movie “Cleopatra”.

The stunning actress will have to sing as well in the movie. This will be her first major project after her Oscar winning performance in 2002’s flick “Chicago”.

Catherine Zeta-Jones rocks!!!!

In honor of the late, great Paul Newman, Broadway’s theaters will dim their lights for one minute at 8 p.m. on Friday.
Paul Newman appeared in five productions on the Great White Way during his illustrious life.
Also, in case you missed it, the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd wrote a touching article in memory of the Hollywood legend.
His death is great loss to the show business industry.

Yeah! The Oscars are saved. After watching months of reruns and the cancellation of the Golden Globes, we can breathe a sign of relief.

Hollywood producers have finally decided to give the writers who have been on strike some of the profit that their writing might make online.

Writers Guild of American president Patric M. Verrone announced Sunday afternoon, “We have reached a historic agreement that covers new media for writers and guarantees our share in the future. This morning, based on the unanimous recommendation of the WGA negotiating committee, the WGA has called for a contract ratification vote by the membership.”

Christina Aguilera has a lot to celebrate about. On Tuesday, the singer celebrated her birthday with her husband Jordan Bratman in West Hollywood. They were spotted just as they were leaving Houston’s restaurant where they celebrated with friends.Come January 10, 2008, the 27-year old Christina will have more to celebrate when she gives birth via C-section. She’s reportedly narrowed down the names for her baby boy to Jackson, Jake or Max. She’s also requested an enlarged version of her November cover of Marie Claire which has her nude and showing off her baby bump. That’s a very high-end memento.

She might have been sacked from the X-Factor but we still love her; especially now the gorgeous Kate Thornton is expecting her first child. Hurrah!Engaged to DJ Darren Emerson, Kate was spotted having a scan last week. Could this potentially put the big day on hold?

A source said: “Kate was beaming from ear to ear. But funnily enough, when an X Factor trailer came on the TV in the hospital waiting room, she turned her head away.”

Well Kate forget all that business now. Not only are we deliriously happy for you and hubby-to-be; we know you will bounce back with a vengeance.

Did I mention I love it when I can report about good stuff like this? More happy ever after stories please…
