Action man! Will Smith throws himself out of a window as he does his own death-defying stunts filming Men In Black III

By JODY THOMPSON

Long way down: Will Smith was pictured doing his own stunts and throwing himself out of a window while filming Men In Black III in New York yesterday


He's already got his work cut out protecting earth from the scum of the universe - so flinging himself out of the window of a highrise building while filming Men In Black III was par for the course for Will Smith yesterday.

Wearing the distinctive black suit of his character Agent J and holding a gun, the 42-year-old was seen flying through the air with the greatest of ease as he did his own stunts on the set.

Obviously, just out of shot was a great big crashmat, but it's still pretty impressive for a multi-millionaire movie star to get his hands dirty like this.


Flying without wings: The star would have been landing on a huge great crash mat however to cushion his fall


Keep on running: The star, who plays Agent J in the comedy sci-fi, was seen sprinting though the streets too


Will was spotted filming equally daring stunts as the movie shot on location elsewhere in New York last month.

Yesterday, he was filming in the Soho area of Manhattan for the movie, which sees Will's Agent J sent back in time to save Tommy Lee Jones's Agent K.

Josh Brolin plays the younger version of the character in the scenes set in the 1960s and 1970s.


Leap of faith: The star is reprising his role as Agent J in the movie, the third in the comedy sci-fi franchise


Back in time: Will with Men In Black III co-star Josh Brolin preparing to film another scene


Chilling out: Will goes through his paces between takes in the sunshine


Earlier in the week, the crew had turned parts of the city's Jamaica Avenue into 1969 New York by converting all the shopfronts to look retro and even stocking them with products from the time.

Film publicist Frances Fiore revealed Men in Black III also shot footage recently near the Unisphere and New York State Pavilion, remnants of the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.

The blockbuster features Smith chasing an alien up one of the pavilion's towers, which becomes a spaceship and crashes into the Unisphere.


Retro in the metro: The film sees Will travel back in time to the late 1960/early 1970s


Preparing to launch: The movie will be another all-action affair as the Men In Black battle against aliens to protect the Earth from the scum of the universe


And...action! A crew member brandishes an electronic clapperboard near Will before he prepares to shoot the last take of the day


Smith and Brolin are joined by Tommy Lee Jones, Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, Nicole Scherzinger, Rip Torn and Johnny Knoxville in the third instalment of the sci-fi comedy.

Filming has caused some controversy so far however, when residents complained after Will's huge trailer blocked their views and way when it was parked in their street in Soho.

Crew were forced to re-locate the trailer to a parking lot.

The new movie meanwhile, the follow up to the last MIB installment some 13 years ago, is expected to be released next May.

Come on guys... be brave, says £20m singleton Emma Watson, 21

By LIZ THOMAS


Single: Emma Watson, who looked stunning in a green Marchesa dress at the MTV Movie Awards, says her fame intimidates men


With an enviable figure, a successful career and £20million in the bank, Emma Watson might expect to have would-be boyfriends queueing around the block.

Yet the 21-year-old Harry Potter star is currently unattached.

Miss Watson feels that many men are ‘intimidated’ by her.


Leggy lady: The 21-year-old actress showed off her enviable pins in the dress


And she gave them some simple advice: ‘Be brave.’

The elfin-faced Briton, who is busily promoting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II), the final instalment in the series, told an interviewer that men rarely pursue her.

‘It must be the fame wall. It must be the circus that goes around me.

‘Me, as a person, I find it hard to believe I would be intimidating.’

She also revealed how some men feel the need to be rude or dismissive simply because she is famous and successful.

‘Sometimes, perhaps because they are intimidated, they feel they have to knock me down,’ she told the Sunday Times Style magazine.


All white on the night: Earlier in the evening, Emma arrived on the red carpet wearing a short white dress, also by Marchesa


‘They know perfectly well who I am, but say, “How are the Narnia films going?”.’

Billed as the ‘darkest’ Potter film yet, Deathly Hallows II will premiere in London on July 7 and is expected to break box-office records when it is released in cinemas on July 15.

Miss Watson’s character Hermione Granger accompanies Harry on his last attempt to beat Lord Voldemort and his dark forces.

The actress has postponed her studies at Brown University in Rhode Island to focus on her career, and is currently filming The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.


On stage: Emma also treated fans to an exclusive clip from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2



Former love: Emma with financier then-boyfriend Jay Barrymore back in 2008



Rock chick: Emma also appeared in a music video for then-boyfriend George Craig's band One Night Only

Tom Hanks surrounded by London's D-listers at his Larry Crowne premiere

By ANDREA MAGRATH

I'd rather chat to the baby: The Oscar-winner made friends with five-month-old Tyler Sercombe


He's a double Oscar-winner and has been at the top of Hollywood's A-list for over two decades.

But Tom Hanks found himself surrounded by reality stars and glamour models this evening at the supposedly glittering premiere for his new film Larry Crowne.

The actor looked a little bemused as he posed on the red carpet, probably wishing he had his co-star Julia Roberts by his side to add a little more star power to the event.

Roberts will undoubtedly show up to promote the film at the LA premiere on June 27, but she left Tom to go it alone at the screening at Westfield shopping centre in London today.


Who are these people? Tom Hanks looks a little bemused as he poses on the red carpet of his film premiere for Larry Crowne at Westfield


Tom will have had trouble recognising most of the attendees, with the exception perhaps of Ronnie Wood and David Hasselhoff, who both brought along their young girlfriends.

Other than the Rolling Stone, the Baywatch star and one Cherie Blair, the guests at the premiere were primarily made up of ITV2's finest.


Colourful: Nicola McLean chose to show off her cleavage at the event, Kerry Katona opted for legs, while Danielle Brown broke traditional style rules and showed both


Kerry Katona posed up with her fellow Can Associates clients Nicola McLean and Danielle Brown.

Kerry looked svelte in a her multi-coloured mini dress, which showed off her golden tan from her and Danielle's recent girls trip to Marbella.

Nicola wore a black jumpsuit with a plunging neckline that put her surgically enhanced decolletage on prominent display.


Reality stars: The Only Way Is Essex stars Sam Faiers (left) and Lydia Bright both attended



TOWIE night out: Sam posed with her boyfriend Joey Essex on the red carpet, while co-star Harry Derbidge also attended


Elen Rivas was more casual - and far more demure than Nicola - in black jeans and clogs with a T-shirt and tweed jacket.

Also attending the screening were stars of The Only Way Is Essex.

Lydia Bright wore a gold dress with sequinned embellishment and nude heels, while her co-star Sam Faiers wore a nude maxi skirt with a cropped leather jacket.


Someone Hanks might recognise: Ronnie Wood added some star power, attending with his girlfriend Ana Araujo


Sam and Lydia were joined by Sam's boyfriend Joey Essex and their co-star Herry Derbidge.

She tweeted from the screening: 'Was in the same cinema with calzaghe, ronnie woods, the hoff, Tom hanks, and many more! Great film. X x'

Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and KT Tunstall all attended.


Coupled up: David Hasselhoff and girlfriend Hayley Roberts and Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff attended


Lovely ladies: (L-R) Leonora Crichlow went for head-to-toe black, Katie Waissel showed off a new 'do and Sophie Ellis Bextor wore a flirty love heart dress


Former X Factor contestant Katie Waissel debuted yet another new hairstyle, arriving with long curly blonde locks after wearing her hair in a short crop for several months.

Tom stars in the romantic comedy (which he also directed), about a man who loses his job and reinvents himself by returning to college.

There, he develops a crush on one of his teachers, played by Roberts. The pair last starred together in Charlie Wilson's War in 2007.

Trace Atkins Tennessee Home Totally Destroyed by Fire – Wife and Kids are Fine

Legendary country music star Trace Atkins lost his home to fire on Saturday but his wife and children are reported to be okay.

Atkins, who was traveling on business, was not at the home but his two children and housekeeper were.

His wife Rhonda was out running errands and was only ten minutes away when the fire started in the garage of the 5,000 square foot Brentwood Tennessee home.

Trace and his wife had lived in the home for more than ten years.

A babysitter was able to get the children and family pets out of the house before calling the fire department.

Rhonda told a local reporter,

"I'm just numb," the singer's wife of 14 years told The Tennessean. "I'm sad because we lost irreplaceable things like all Trace's awards and our family photos. But you can replace things, not people. I'm just glad that my children are safe."

In addition to his country music career, Atkins has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2003, and has appeared on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice and several episodes of “King of the Hill”.

He is also the author of “A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck”. His book was published in 2007 and showed his strong political and social views.

One interesting fact about the singer is his pinkie finger on his left hand is permanently crooked to fit around the neck of a guitar. Many years ago Trace cut off the finger in a work accident and he asked the doctors to reattach it in a different position to fit his guitar.

Trace is currently filming the movie “The First Ride of Wyatt Earp” starring alongside Val Kilmer. The film is due in theaters sometime next year.

Robert Pattinson waits for his bride at the altar in new scenes from Twilight: Breaking Dawn

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Sorry girls: Edward, played by Robert Pattinson, waits for his fiancé Bella at the altar in a newly released clip from Twilight: Breaking Dawn


It's the scene set to break a million hearts.

Robert Pattinson's much-adored character Edward Cullen stands at the altar, awaiting his bride in newly released shots from the Twilight: Breaking Dawn film.

He stands under a flowered bower, with rose petals littering the aisle. The couple's friends line each side of the aisle, looking back to see the bride's address.

But fans hoping to see the bridal costume of Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, will have to wait.


The marriage of the year: Guests turn to greet Bella


Producers have only offered a hint of her outfit, with close-up shots of the gleaming white stone in her ring as her hand clasps Edwards, and of her jewelled hair clip and veil.

During filming of the scenes the cast and crew went to extreme lengths to prevent prying eyes seeing the wedding.

Swathes of tarpaulin, huge marquees, road blocks and armed police were all used to keep the scenes under wraps.


The ring: Newlywed Bella clasps her husband's arm after the ceremony


But the anticipation was such that fans couldn't wait, and stills of the couple consummating their marriage and Bella giving birth were leaked.

Author Stephanie Meyer released a statement begging fans not to post photos and to wait for the films

She wrote: 'Please, for those who are posting, stop. And please, though the temptation is high, don’t view or pass on these images. Wait for the film in its beautiful, finished entirety to thrill you.'

Die-hard fans have longed for this happy ending for four years.


First glimpse: Bella's jewelled hair clip and veil


However, the couple's happiness is short-lived when Bella unexpectedly becomes pregnant with a half-vampire half-human daughter who prefers sucking on her blood to drinking warm milk.

The rest of the two films see Bella fighting a lethal battle with her beastly unborn child that grows rapidly inside her, feeding off her blood which eventually sees Bella on her death bed.

This forces Edward to make the life-changing decision to either lose the human Bella he loves forever or to finally give into her dying wish and give her the eternal life she has been asking for.


Off duty: Pattinson is currently filming his new Movie Cosmopolis in Toronto

“Super 8” Movie Trailer and Review – Amazing Summer Movie – Bring it!

The hot days of summer are upon us.

Memorial Day is behind us.

And we all know what that means……

The summer blockbusters are coming!

And to start things off this month is the great looking flick “Super 8” and a new movie trailer.

Think “Cloverfield” meets area 51.

In fact, the original screenplay was developed to be the sequel to “Cloverfield”, so you can do the math on what to expect - serious science fiction and inhuman things.

Usually we can tell by the movie trailer if we think a film is going to be any good, and all we can say about the “Super 8” trailer is this film is going to rock.

Not really a kid’s movie, but definitely a predominately teen kid cast – but with very adult adventures.

The production values of this flick are undeniable because it was written and directed by J. J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg.

It stars the young Elle Fanning, AJ Michalka, and Kyle Chandler, and has Spielberg’s trademark all over it.

The story goes like this – a group of kids are playing around with their super 8 movie camera when they witness a train derailment.

It turns out to be a deliberate derailment of a United States Air Force train named "Groom Lake One", which was transporting undisclosed materials from Area 51 to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

After the wreck, some unknown entity escapes from one of the cargo cars and begins to cause havoc on the small town of Lillian, Ohio.

Suddenly, the military and other spooky looking Government suits start showing up and taking over.

All the dogs in town run away and strange things start happening all over.

There are disappearances, unexplained events, and eight missing people. The local sheriff investigates the cause of the events which leads to the discovery of something inhuman.

And the kids have it all on Super 8 video….



The budget for "Super 8" was a modest $45 million and is due in theaters and IMAX June 11th.

Welcome to the blockbuster movie season!

First look: Miley Cyrus strips down to red bra and tiny shorts for her new film So Undercover

Grown up: New pictures from film So Undercover show Miley Cyrus in a lacy red bra and orange shorts


Not so long ago, she was one of Disney's most beloved teenage stars, appearing on hit tween show Hannah Montana and playing sold-out concerts to thousands of young fans.

But Miley Cyrus is clearly growing up fast, judging by these photographs from her latest movie.

The 18-year-old star strips down to a pair of short orange and red night shorts and a lacy red bra in one scene from So Undercover.

The comedy film, released this October, features Miley as an investigator hired to pose as a sorority girl to protect a mobster's daughter.

'She's basically this chick who grows up as a super tomboy,' the actress and singer told MTV during filming last year.


Sorority sister: Miley plays a private investigator hired to infiltrate a college scene and make friends with a mobster's daughter


'She's an FBI agent and gets thrown into a bunch of girls that she doesn't understand because she's been around her dad who's been in the FBI his whole life.'

The new images show Miley wearing a variety of brightly coloured outfits, including a bright fuchsia pink top and shorts with matching accessories.


Pretty in pink: Miley wears an array of bright outfits including this bright pink number complete with matching bag and shoes on the film


In another scene she is seen getting close to co-star Joshua Bowman.

The singer and actress has clearly enjoyed her role in the film which stars Jeremy Piven and Kelly Osbourne.

'I've been doing fighting, like learning how to box, mostly like street fighting,' she added. 'If someone comes up from behind you, knowing how to be able to defend yourself.'

But filming was not without its pitfalls.

'I have a trainer and I have bruises everywhere from, like, kicking the bags. And I've learned how to use guns, which was really scary,' she said.


Flirtation: Miley's character Molly gets up close and personal with co-star Joshua Bowman


Miley also became close to her co-star Kelly Osbourne during filming, due to their similar upbringings.

Kelly told the Daily Record newspaper: 'I didn't know Miley well before. We had only met once or twice but as soon as we started shooting it was pretty instant how we got along so well.

'She just gets it. She has a really similar upbringing to me - though her side of things is on a completely different scale to mine.

'I'm from rock 'n' roll music and hers is country, but she gets it.

'It's nice to hang around an unaffected girl you can have fun with and understand what I go through and I understand what she goes through.'


Casual and chic: Miley sports several different looks in the film including a low cut white top with heavy eye makeup and a more casual checked shirt

Video - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Red Band Trailer Leaked – Or was it?

It’s being called the feel bad movie for Christmas.

Everybody has been dying to see an official movie trailer.

And now, the red band trailer has been leaked to the internet.

Or has it?

In what appears to be a leaked movie trailer for director David Fincher’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” we get our first glimpse of what’s to come.

But some experts are saying it was not a leak at all, but rather a clever marketing ploy by Sony to make it look like a leak.

“If this was a real leak, Sony would have pulled that trailer off YouTube so fast it wouldn’t have been funny. This was no leak. The sound is exceptional, and there is an American MPAA rating that shouldn’t be there in a European trailer. We think Sony knew exactly what they were doing”.

Agreed.

This looks an awful lot like a “Cloverfield” type viral video stunt by Sony to get the trailer into American hands, and the web site shown at the end of the trailer redirects to Sony’s main move portal.



Sneaky? Yes, and very effective.

This would not be the first time Sony has used viral videos to promote an upcoming project.

The film remake of the popular book is said to be costing $100 Million to complete and stars Daniel Craig, Christopher Plummer, Stellan Skarsgård, Rooney Mara, Embeth Davidtz.

For those not familiar with “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” book, here is a little overview.

The original Swedish title translated into English as "Men Who Hate Women"), and is an award-winning crime novel by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his "Millennium series".

A complete plot summary can be found here on Wikipedia.

After seeing this movie trailer and knowing about the book trilogy – we can’t wait to see this movie.

X Men director Matthew Vaughn at centre of rumours he is the father of January Jones' baby

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Speculation: Rumours are flowing about the identity of the father of January Jones' baby, with X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn among the names touted


Star remains tight-lipped over paternity puzzle

Claudia Schiffer's husband no-show at film screening

X-Men co-star and former lover also in frame


She has kept mum on the identity of the father of her unborn child. But it seems her silence may be contributing to the intense rumours surrounding the paternity of X Men star January Jones's unborn baby.



Family man: Matthew Vaughn with wife Claudia Schiffer


Now the film's producer, and supermodel Claudia Schiffer's husband, Matthew Vaughn, has been named among the potential dads-to-be.

And Vaughn's no-show at a recent screening sent online commentators into a frenzy, suggesting the reason behind his no-show was the speculation.


The two women: January at an X-Men photocall earlier this week, and Claudia seen out in London recently


Vaughn was also unable to attend a screening of the new film because of 'severe tonsillitis'.

According to E! Online, Vaughn, director of her new movie X-Men: First Class had a 'very close' relationship with the actress on set.

The article alleges Vaughn 'abruptly' left town at around the same time Jones made her surprise baby announcement in April even though he was scheduled to stay for another month.


Hard at work: January Jones and Zoe Kravitz promote X Men: First Class on the Today Show


Superheroes: Jones admitted that if she could have any super power she wanted, it would be that of co-star Zoe Kravitz’s character, Angel Salvadore


The report was picked up by the New York Daily News and several other news outlets, although it is no longer visible on the website.

While the Mad Men actress, 33, has yet to reveal the identity of the baby's father, some have said it could be an ex, while others have speculated Jones is keeping the name of her baby's father a secret because he is not a single man.

When former boyfriend, Saturday Night Live comic Jason Sudeikis was recently asked if he had any comment about Jones' recent baby news, he became tongue-tied, saying, ‘I'd rather – yes but no.’


Relaxing: Later in the day Jones went for a walk near Central Park


While her X-Men co-star Michael Fassbender is another name being touted.

Yesterday the pregnant actress spent the day promoting her new movie X Men: First Class.

As the star of Mad Men she squeezed herself into corsets for every scene but that was out of the question this week as her baby bump was clearly visible.

She chose to dress in a stylish black shift dress with lace neckline.

The actress completed the effortless look by tying her hair up in a loose bun and hiding from the Manhattan sun behind over-sized cat’s eye sunglasses.



Vaughn had a 'very close' relationship with the actress on set, according to reports

The film chronicles the start of the mutant school by Charles Xavier and the beginning of the superhero group.

'You start the story where it’s meant begin,' explained James McAvoy, who takes on Professor Charles Xavier from Patrick Stewart.

The previous night, the soon-to-be single mother glowed on the red carpet at the X Men: First Class premiere in a chic Preen cocktail dress that gathered at her waist to perfectly accentuate her growing baby bump.

Video - Man Proposes to Girlfriend in Movie Trailer – Greatest Marriage Proposal of All Time!

This is a story of how two people find true love – through a movie trailer.

Matt and Ginny were in love.

Matt wanted to surprise Ginny with a fantastic marriage proposal – so he came up with a brilliant idea.

Matt made a fake movie trailer and asked the local theater to run it while his girlfriend was there with her brother - while Matt waited outside. Once the trailer finished, he jumped into action and asked her to marry him.

In the trailer Matt films himself asking Ginny’s father if he can take his daughters hand in marriage.

Matt is not a big-wig Hollywood producer, but rather a humble insurance salesmen, but his sense of film techniques is amazing.

Ginny’s brother duped her into going to see “Fast Five” and she had no idea what was about to happen.

Matt had even wired the theater with cameras so he could capture the her reaction.

Ellen DeGeneres had the happy couple on her show Friday and the YouTube video of Matt’s proposal has already received over 14 million hits.

This is the greatest proposal video of all times, and is the cutest thing InfoStar has seen in a while.

Enjoy!

Sinister new Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows posters revealed as fans prepare for release of final movie

By SARAH BULL


Sinister: Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter, is seen here in a new poster for the upcoming movie Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part Two


Harry Potter fans are literally chomping at the bit waiting for the release of the final movie in the franchise.

And it seems the final instalment of the last book in the series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part Two, could be the darkest yet, judging by three new posters of the film released today.

Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, Hermione Granger, played by Emma Watson and Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint, are seen covered in dirt and blood as they pose in front of burning buildings in the new pictures.

Bearing the tagline 'It All Ends', the posters look dramatic, adult and incredibly final.

Readers of author J.K. Rowling's books will know how the story ends, but fans of the films are sure to want to see how the last book is translated onto the big screen.

The new film sees the saga of the boy wizard and his chums come to a climax after a decade on the big screen.


Darkest film yet: Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) stand in front of burning buildings in the posters


The story tells of Harry's final battle with his nemesis Lord Voldemort after he, Ron and Hermione have travelled the world to search for seven Horcruxes - the parts of the evil overlord's soul which have been hidden and which have to be destroyed in order to kill him.

As usual the film features a stellar cast including Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes, Brendan Gleeson, Richard Griffiths, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Helen McCrory, Bill Nighy, Miranda Richardson and Alan Rickman.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 follows on from the first part of the film, which opened in cinemas last November.


Final battle: Radcliffe and Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort face off in a scene from the trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2


That's magic: The boy wizard uses his wand in his final battle - but who will survive?


And the premiere of the upcoming film, the final Potter movie to be made, will be the first red carpet movie event to take place in London's Trafalgar Square.

Studio bosses at Warner Bros decided that the franchise and its stars have become so popular that the usual Leicester Square venue was no longer big enough for the gala event.

Talking about the movie in a recent interview, producer David Heyman said fans will be excited to see the final 3D version of the film.


Heart-rending: Amid the rubble, Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint, looks on as Hermione, played by Emma Watson, hugs Harry


There be monsters: A fire breathing creature is also thrown into the mix of what promises to be a spectacular finale


He said: 'Funnily enough I think this last film will benefit more from the 3D than the first one would have. It‘s more epic and operatic.

'The first one was a more intimate film so 3D didn’t feel as germane.'

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part Two is released in the UK on 15th July.
