Johnny Knoxville honoured by Oscar nomination


Johnny Knoxville is "honoured" 'Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa' is nominated for an Oscar.
The 42-year-old actor - who co-wrote, produced and starred in the movie, where he plays an 86 year-old man - is proud of the fact his film could win one of the most esteemed awards in the movie business for Best Make-Up and Hairstyling.
Johnny told USA Today newspaper: "A film associated with Jackass [franchise, known for its wild and often puerile stunts] is nominated for an Oscar.
"It's a big deal. We're very honoured. It also makes us giggle. You know what we do."
In the movie Johnny plays Irving Zisman, who is on a journey across America with his eight year-old grandson, and their stunts and the trouble they got into was filmed in the real world, capturing the reactions of the general public.
The film's make-up artist, Stephen Prouty - who will collect the award should the film win - said it provided one of he biggest challenges of his career.
He said: "We had to fool the public every day with these set-ups. It was like no other film I've done."
Johnny spent three hours a day having his make-up applied to fool people as Irving.
He added: "Without the make-up there is no movie. I cannot prank people on the street as me. The job was so stellar that not once did anyone realise it was make-up. Everyone bought that I was an old man. And that's unbelievable."
The 'Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa' team will find out if they triumph over 'The Lone Ranger' and 'Dallas Buyers Club' to take the Best Make-Up and Hairstyling award when the Oscars winners are announced on March 2.

Alex Pettyfer a ‘hopeless romantic’


Alex Pettyfer is a "hopeless romantic".
The 'Endless Love' star - who famously has 'Thank You' tattooed above his crotch - claims he is one of the last chivalrous men left in the modern world.
He said: "I'm a hopeless romantic, I say very loudly and proudly. I get a lot of stick for it. We live in a world where it's so accessible to date now, which is great. I don't judge that. We have so many ways of meeting people.
"I like to meet someone and have that chivalry, to take them out on a date and actually be a gentleman. I think that's becoming rarer and rarer.
"I don't know if we would go so far to say that we would punch someone in the face, but we would definitely stand up for our ladies."
Despite being a great date, the hunky British star - who played a trainee stripper in 'Magic Mike' - finds it hard to make the first move.
He added: "I was 18 years of age and I was at a party ... This tall brunette walked up to me and said, 'Excuse me, are you Alex? I really thought you were good in your movie, and I wanted to come up and say hi.'
"I just couldn't speak! I'm so terrible when it comes to talking to women. I'm the worst. I don't know what to say. I come off very, very geeky."

Evan Peters joked about sex toys


Evan Peters found it "pretty funny" working in a sex shop for 'Adult World'.
The 27-year-old actor - who met his fiancée, Emma Roberts, when she co-starred in the movie - enjoyed making fun of director Scott Coffey when on set posing as a salesperson of X rated goods.
He told the New York Daily News newspaper: "It was a little awkward, it was pretty funny working around sex toys. The bunny tail was my favourite
"I think the funniest thing was ragging on Scott Coffey, the director, just joking around with him and making fun of what he may use in his bedroom."
However, Evan will put his dirty jokes aside tomorrow (14.02.14) when he treats Emma to a romantic dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day.
He added: "We are going to see a movie get some dinner. We like it to keep it pretty casual on Valentine's Day. It's just nice to go see a romantic movie, and I'll get her flowers and jewellery, a little something."
Evan wasn't dating Emma when they started making 'Adult World' - in which her character ends up working alongside him in the sex shop - and the attraction between them made it hard to film certain scenes.
He added: "During shooting we both really liked each other so it was a little difficult to work."
Both Emma and Evan now star in TV series 'American Horror Story' together.

Jay Z buys promise bracelet for Beyonce


Jay Z has bought Beyonce a promise bracelet for Valentine's Day.
The 'Tom Ford' rapper splashed out $2,390 on the jewellery by designer Tacori on the advice of his wife's stylist, Ty Hunter, and was so excited he couldn't wait until tomorrow (14.02.14) to give it to her.
A source told People.com: "[Hunter] got the bracelet and took it with him to give to Jay Z.
"He said Jay was waiting for Valentine's Day to gift her along with a few other presents, but ... Beyonce is always too eager and you can't hold any secret from her, so he decided to give it to her earlier."
The bracelet is made of intertwining silver and gold which "represents two unique individuals" according to the Tacori website, which adds: "The Promise bracelet must be locked and unlocked with a Tacori Key, which symbolises the Promise that is made.
"Once the bracelet is fastened, only the key holder can unlock the promise. The connection chain links both parts of the bracelet and symbolises that the bracelet is always connected."
Jay - who has two-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, with Beyonce - has previously bought many lavish gifts for his wife, including a platinum covered mobile phone worth $24,000 and her own private island in Florida, worth $20 million.

Kim Kardashian has been helping Ciara shop for baby items.
The reality TV star - who has seven-month-old daughter, North, with rapper Kanye West - was seen helping the mother-to-be choose items for her new arrival at Bel Bambini in Hollywood yesterday (12.02.14).
A source told website Hollywoodlife.com: "Kim is a regular here and she was showing Ciara around, helping her pick out a few items in anticipation of her baby's arrival. They looked at a few different cribs and bedding designs and also some feeding apparatuses that we carry. They were both upbeat, smiling and sharing the joys of being pregnant. It was a nice moment for the girls and we adore them."
Ciara and her fiancé, rapper and producer Future, are expecting their first baby together this spring, and she was full of excitement about shopping for the new arrival.
She captioned a picture of her on Instagram: "Me Before Going 2 Do Some Baby Prep Stuff With My Friend Kimmie. #ExcitingTimes.. Still Feels Surreal That This Is Actually Happening. Xo. Mommy (sic)."
As well as planning for her baby, the 'Goodies' singer is getting ready for her wedding later in the year and considering whether to wear a design by Peter Dundas, Emilio Pucci or Riccardo Tisci when she walks down the aisle, as well overseeing all the details.
She has previously said: "I still want it to be a fun process, but I want the dress to be perfect, I want the cake to be perfect, I want the food to be perfect."

Elizabeth Olsen loves her superhero cloak


Elizabeth Olsen loves her 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' secrecy cloak.
The 24-year-old star has joined the hugely anticipated superhero sequel as Scarlet Witch and is pleased the "hood and robe" of her costume help cover up her figure.
She told Total Film magazine: "We've done some costume stuff, yeah.
"My favourite piece is my secrecy cloak that prevents anyone from seeing what I'm wearing. There's a hood, and a robe - it protects the image."
The actress revealed director Joss Whedon didn't want her to wear the typical outfits which are depicted in Marvel comics, which is where the superhero team originates from, and thinks they can only look good on athletes or models who have lean figures.
Olsen continued: "I don't think Joss ever would have hired me, honestly, if he wanted me to wear those [comic book] outfits. I am not a professional athlete and nor am I a model. Wearing those costumes wouldn't be fun for anyone who wasn't those things."
The brunette beauty says Whedon has a "different" idea of how to portray his screen characters by comparison to the comics, and Olsen insists his depiction is "respectful".
The starlet added: "He already had a different idea. It respects and involves the comic-book character but it's different, more rooted. It's for someone today... If someone walked around wearing what she wore in the comics, people would stop and say, 'What the hell ... she thinks she's a superhero!'"

Jeremy Piven admires Tom Hardy’s ‘balls’


Jeremy Piven admires Tom Hardy's "balls".
The 'Mr Selfridge' star admits that while he has never seen the 'The Dark Knight Rises' actor's manhood, he was inspired by his "fearless" approach to acting when they starred together in 'Black Hawk Down'.
Jeremy told the latest issue of Fault Magazine: "I like Tom Hardy's balls. I mean not literally, I've never seen Tom Hardy's balls, just for the record. We worked together in 'Black Hawk Down' and he's a gamer, he's always up for it, he's fearless and he's really fun to watch as well."
The 48-year-old actor also named the actors who have been inspirations throughout his career.
Jeremy mused: "The first person to come to mind would be Javier Bardem. He never lets you down. He's a complete and utter inspiration.
"Mark Rylance - I was lucky enough to see him on stage in 'Twelfth Night' and I hope to see him in 'Richard III' in New York. He's completely improvisational, totally alive on stage doing Shakespeare."
Meanwhile, Jeremy revealed he would love to star in a Shakespeare story alongside 'Luther' actor Idris Elba, and is keen to collaborate with him for future projects.
He gushed: "Getting back to Shakespeare, I'd love to mix it up with Idris Elba. I'd love to work with Idris really in anything."

Colin Farrell terrified of sober sex


Colin Farrell was "terrified" when he first had sex sober.
The 37-year-old actor had a very "gentle" experience with a woman after giving up drugs and alcohol eight years ago but found it nerve-wracking because it was so new to him.
He said: "I made love to a woman about two and half years after I got clean, and it was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. It was in the afternoon. The windows and the curtains were open. It was lovely, and to be crass, it wasn't f**king. She was very gentle. But it was terrifying.
"Because I was just used to drunkenness and dark rooms and clubs and toilets and wherever.
"I worried I wouldn't be able to talk, full stop. I hadn't uttered a word sober in about 15 years."
In 2005, the 'Winter's Tale' star - who has children James, 10, and Henry, four, from previous relationships - was offered $5 million for the rights to a sex tape he made with Playboy Playmate Nicole Narain but he sued his former fling to stop the sale and distribution of the footage, though it was later made available online.
Colin says he took action because he found making the video "horrifying" and was worried his mother might accidentally stumble across the raunchy footage.
He told the new edition of America's Elle magazine: "It certainly wasn't a validation of my prowess. The whole thing was horrifying. You know, press record. Taboo. Isn't this interesting?
"I was deposed for four hours explaining why I didn't want it to be released. God forbid it's an on-demand movie in a hotel room and my mother says, 'Oh, I haven't seen this work of my son's,' and hits purchase."

Alison Brie is ‘dirty’


Alison Brie is "a dirty birdie".
The 31-year-old actress provides a voice in animated family film 'The LEGO Movie', much to the amusement of her friends, who say she is less-than "wholesome".
Talk show host Chelsea Handler said: "This is a very wholesome movie for you to be in, because I know your history. Your personal history. I do, and she's pretty dirty birdie."
Alison replied: "See, you know that about me. And people in my personal life and history know that about me, but I never play risqué roles."
However, the 'Man Men' actress admits she had a very bizarre raunchy scene in one of first movies, 'Born', which she described as "a totally B, hilarious, like so bad it's good horror movie."
Speaking of a scene in the 2007 film, she recalled to the talk show host: "While I'm having sex, with this really hot Swedish guy I get possessed. While I'm super pregnant cause the demon foetus possesses me and you know I need, penis. And so I'm having sex with him, and while we're having sex I get possessed and my demon fetus inside me bites his penis off. And he dies."

Amber Heard’s condom dress


Amber Heard wore a "condom dress" in '3 Days to Kill'.
The 27-year-old actress - who is engaged to Johnny Depp - admits shooting the movie wasn't always comfortable because of adverse weather conditions and the uncomfortable costumes she donned to play Agent Vivi.
She said: "We filmed in the winter in Paris. It was about 20 degrees on the best day and I was literally wearing dresses made out of the same material condoms are made out of. I'm not kidding, there's this incredible latex designer who does a line of latex dresses. They were as weather protective as a condom would be.
"It's snowing and icing. They had to keep throwing hot water on the cobblestones because it was freezing over. It was raining and snowy, there was ice all over the cobblestone streets and I'm wearing six-inch unbroken-in Louboutins and Jimmy Choos and I'm in a condom dress and a long blond wig. Did I mention it was snowy and cold?"
Amber also revealed she is "dying" to go to a country dancing night at Los Angeles gay bar Oil Can Harry's.
She told E! News: "I'm dying to go. Every week, I try to make plans with my gays to go and every week something happens and I can't go. I'm dying to."
