Robert Downey Jr. accidentally knocked Scarlett Johansson over while wearing his ‘Iron Man’ costume

The actor was wearing his heavy superhero suit while he was waiting to film scenes with his glamorous co-star in their new movie ‘The Avengers’ and was fiddling with the high-tech gadgets attached to his outfit.

However, he suddenly hit the ‘wrong’ button which controls one of the arms and hit Scarlett – who plays Black Widow in the movie – in the face.

A source said: “Robert triggered a switch that controls one of his arms – and it suddenly jerked backward and whacked poor Scarlett. Knocked silly, she staggered backward, then lost her balance and fell off the low platform they were standing on.”

Stunned crew rushed to help Scarlett get to her feet and luckily so was unharmed and saw the funny side.

The source added to National Enquirer magazine: “Robert, who couldn’t help because he literally can’t move in that iron suit, was beside himself – he kept apologising and saying, Oh, my God, I’m so sorry!’ But Scarlett was a good sport and smiled about the incident.”

Johnny Depp has an oil painting of Keith Richards surrounded by cigarette papers

The 48-year-old actor has amassed a huge collection of artwork and a collection of rare manuscripts in his mansion in Hertfordshire, East England – including three paintings of the Rolling Stone legend he created himself, one of which is surrounded by Rizla rolling papers – and even gave one book to Bruce Robinson, the director of his new film ‘The Rum Diary’.

He revealed to The Sun newspaper: “I don’t know how Johnny gets everything done. With the books, it isn’t just a first edition of T. S. Eliot, it’s the manuscript. He showed me the first edition of ‘Les Fleurs Du Mal’ inscribed by Baudelaire. I couldn’t believe it. Then when I got home, I found Johnny had slipped it in my suitcase.”

Johnny has long had a close relationship with the 67-year-old rocker – who plays his father in two ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ films – and has previously revealed he loves getting drunk with him.

He said: “He’s a fascinating man, you know. I’ve known him for a long time. To get periods on set where it’s just him and me hanging out, sitting around and yakking about music, movies whatever, was a real pleasure.

“I’m a wine man and I do like a good glass of red. So I would have my glass of wine and Keith would have his usual.

“I’ve no idea what it is, because it looks like nuclear waste and it’s a combination only he would know.”

George Clooney’s ex-girlfriend has warned Stacy Keibler she is “wasting her time” with him

Elizabeth Daily – who dated the ‘Ideas of March’ actor in 1993 after his split from ex-wife Talia Balsam – claims the former wrestler shouldn’t expect anything serious from her new boyfriend, as women are constantly trying and failing to “tame” the Hollywood heartthrob.

She said: “I wouldn’t have any expectation of anything serious. Enjoy him. Girls think they can tame him. But it will never happen. They’re wasting their time.

“Even then he was adamant that he wouldn’t get married again.”

Despite her warnings to Stacy, Elizabeth still thinks the actor is “sexy”.

She added to Star magazine: “He’s a beautiful and sexy and a true man.”

However, Stacy – who has been dating George since last month – has admitted she wasn’t looking for love when she met the star.

The one-time WWE Diva told People: “I was just living in the moment. I was actually not really searching for a boyfriend.

“I don’t think about [the future]. I live in the present moment. That was my New Year’s resolution … and it’s worked out pretty good so far.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie escape to hotels when they want to spend time together

The superstar couple raise six children together – Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – and the ‘Moneyball’ actor admits the chaos of their household can sometimes be too much.

Referring to the 1975 movie set in a mental institution, he told TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “Did you ever see the movie ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’? That’s morning time in our house.

“We find our time. We carve out Mommy, Daddy time… It’s called a hotel. You got to get out of this house. You got to leave.”

Angelina recently revealed she can never have a bath in peace because the kids are always bothering her but insists she copes well with having such limited time alone.

She said: “You try to take a bath alone and everybody comes in.

“You just give it up. I’ve shocked myself because I’m somebody that likes to be on my own. But I’m surprised how much I’m very happy to be surrounded by everybody in my family.

“It’s alright. I feel that comfort.”

Robert Pattinson is recording an album

The ‘Twilight’ actor originally considered becoming a musician and is making the most of a break in his schedule by heading to the studio to record his first full-length record.

A source told UsWeekly.com: “Music is his first love! He’s tortured because he avoids it. When he’s sitting around jamming in the studio, it’s his favourite moment of life.”

Another friend added: “Rob has been kicking a few original songs around for a long time, but his schedule didn’t allow it. “Now he’s got some weeks to get everything in line before going back to promoting ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’.”

The 25-year-old actor previously recorded two tracks, ‘Never Think’ and ‘Let Me Sign’ for the original ‘Twilight’ soundtrack. Sources say the sound of the album will be “organic” and use traditional instruments. The friend added: “The album Rob will make will be guitar based and drums, very organic-sounding, nothing pop. Like stripped-down Ray LaMontagne meets Van Morrison.”

Robert’s ‘Twilight’ co-star, Jackson Rathbone, has previously praised his ability as a guitarist. He told how Robert “loves to play the blues. He can hold his own on a guitar. We enjoyed jamming together when we had the time. Very humble and quiet guy.” Robert has also said he loves playing piano, and as a child hoped he could make a living from it.

He said: “I love the piano. I never really had any aspirations to be an actor when I was young. I wanted to play the piano in a bar, to be the old dude with a whiskey glass.”

Brad Pitt is “amazed” to star in baseball film ‘Moneyball’ because he knows so little about the sport

The 47-year-old actor plays former Major League player and Oakland Athletics manager Billy Bean in the film but admitted in real life he chose wrestling and diving over baseball at high school.

He told Sports Illustrated magazine: “It’s shameful how little I know about baseball. I’m amazed they let me do this movie. “Baseball and I didn’t get along that well. I wrestled one year in high school. I dived one year. Everything but baseball.”

However, he was attracted to the role because it is based around his home state and gave him a chance to tell a good underdog story. He added: “I’m an Oklahoma-Missouri boy, so I’m no stranger to a bit of dip. So really, I was just revisiting my roots. I’m a sucker for the underdog story.”

Brad feels the film is unconventional by today’s Hollywood standards, and instead compares it to 70s movies ‘The French Connection’, ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ and ‘All the President’s Men’. He said: “What we were trying to do is tell an unconventional story in the Trojan horse of a conventional baseball movie.

“In scripts today, someone has a big epiphany, learns a lesson, then comes out the other side different. “In these older films I’m talking about, the beast at the end of the movie was the same beast in the beginning of the movie. “What changed was the world around them, by just a couple of degrees.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have hired former SAS guards to protect their home in the South of France

The couple – who raise six kids, Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne together – have enlisted the services of the ex-members of Special Air Service unit and have also installed a £150 million state-of-the-art security system after learning organised crime gangs from Russia and Italy are targeting rich foreigners in the area.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: “Brad has hired a crack team of ex-SAS guys to protect them and they watch over the property like hawks around the clock.

“They can see what is happening as all the cameras hooked up to the TV screens have movement sensors. They work via wi-fi so can’t be disarmed.”

The property – which boasts his-and-hers gyms, a Jacuzzi, sauna, billiards room and a huge banqueting suite – now is said to look like “something out of a James Bond movie” after being kitted out with fingerprint recognition gadgets.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: “There’s even fingerprint recognition to go from certain parts of the house to the next. Every inch is covered. It’s like something out of a James Bond movie.”

Johnny Depp has given several hats to Sandra Bullock’s toddler son

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor has nearly 1,000 hats and after his partner Vanessa Paradis ordered him to get rid of some, he decided to give a few to 20-month-old Louis to wear when he’s bigger.

A source told National Enquirer magazine: “Sandra thought it was the sweetest thing. She told Louis often cries if she doesn’t put a hat on his head and that’s why he’s rarely seen without one. Johnny promised to send more.”

Earlier this year, Vanessa ordered Johnny – who has previously been voted Hat Person of the Year – to get rid of his hats because they were starting to overtake their Paris home.

A source said: “He has hundreds of hats – two rooms in their Paris apartment packed with them.

“Vanessa wants some closet room but Johnny’s hats are taking up too much space. She told him point-blank, ‘Johnny, you get those hats out of here or when you’re gone, I’m going to throw them all in the trash.’

“He was horrified. He loves his hats and he is constantly buying more.”

Vanessa’s ultimatum came after her partner – with whom she has two children, Lily-Rose, 11, and eight-year-old Jack – came home with a hat he’d bought from a homeless person, but Hollywood star has now agreed to find somewhere else to store his headwear.

Ashton Kutcher is not “replacing” Charlie Sheen on ‘Two and a Half Men’

The ‘No Strings Attached’ star took over the leading role in the comedy series following Charlie’s public meltdown and spat with the show’s creator Chuck Lorre, and he admits he has been “lucky” to get the job and hopes he can do as “incredible” a job as the troubled actor.

He said: “I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. It’s always sort of nice to jump on something that’s already moving and successful and people have an appetite for it. It just seemed like the best job in the world.

“Here’s the thing. Charlie was incredible on that show and I can’t, there’s no way I’m going to replace Charlie Sheen. I’m not playing his character. But it’s the same people that have been making people laugh the last eight years are going to keep making people laugh.”

However, the 33-year-old hunk – who is married to actress Demi Moore – admits he was nervous about taking on the role as it meant leaving his film career behind for some time.

Speaking on CBS’ ‘The Early Show’, Ashton said: “I had apprehensions for several reasons. I have a relatively successful film career and I
knew it would shut down that for a minute. “I had a little apprehension about that because, when you have a good thing going, you don’t want to put the pause button in it.”

Brad Pitt “pretended” his marriage to Jennifer Aniston was “something that it wasn’t”

The ‘Moneyball’ actor – who was married to former ‘Friends’ star Jennifer from 2000 to 2005 – thinks his life before his relationship with Angelina Jolie started to feel “pathetic” because he spent a lot of time smoking marijuana and “hiding”.

He said: “I spent the ‘90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself.

“I think that my marriage [to Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.” However, the 47-year-old actor, now lives a much happier life with Angelina and their six children – Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six,
Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

He said: “One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh man, I’m so happy to have her.” Brad also reveals he has found being a parent easy because he always trusts his instincts.

He added to Parade magazine: “I was surprised at how automatic it is, how much of it is instinctual. And now I have a great confidence and trust in those instincts. I mean, one sound at night and you’re awake and up because they may need you. Or when they start to have a tantrum, you know to divert them from spinning out by helping them focus on something. It just goes on and on. I tell them, “You can make
a mess, but you’ve got to clean it up.’ ”

Ashton Kutcher views his marriage as an “active and evolving bond”

The ‘Two and a Half Men’ actor says his relationship with Demi Moore has grown “deeper” since they tied the knot in 2005 and he and his spouse embrace the changes and challenges that they encounter.

He said: “Our relationship has just grown deeper and more interesting. We love each other and we love the journey we’re taking together and that’s not a cliche.

“We are both actively engaged in each other’s lives and we both find that it’s so beautiful to be able to appreciate each other in new and different ways. We both see marriage as an active and evolving bond between us.”

Ashton – who, at 33, is 15 years younger than Demi – credits his successful marriage to communicating honestly and surprising his wife whenever he can.

He added in an interview with Britain’s OK! magazine: “You have to be very serious about communicating your feelings and just expressing yourself and being open to your partner.

“Demi and I both believe in that kind of philosophy. We also like being romantic and doing special little things for each other, whether it’s coming up with a wild new meal for dinner or suggesting a trip somewhere.

“You don’t want to just sit around and get into some routine where you don’t even realise that you’ve fallen into that kind of thing.”

Robert Pattinson has taken his girlfriend Kristen Stewart on a tour of his hometown

The actress is currently shooting her new movie ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ in London and on one of her days off the actor took her on a trip to Barnes, Surrey, South East England, to show her where he used to live.

To ensure they weren’t spotted by ‘Twilight’ fans Robert and Kristen wore disguises, including blonde and ginger wigs.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “It was really sweet, Rob wanted to show Kristen everything about where he’d grown up. He even took her to the local cafe where he used to hang out and his old pub.”

Among the other places they visited were the primary school Robert attended and the spot where T-Rex singer Marc Bolan died in a car crash in 1977.

Things are going from strength-to-strength for the couple but it doesn’t look like marriage is on the horizon for them anytime in the near future.

Kristen recently admitted she has no plans to walk down the aisle because she doesn’t think relationships need to be legally recognised.

When asked if she “believes” in marriage, she told German magazine TV Movie: “I like the thought of two people staying together for the rest of their lives. For me, however, this doesn’t need to be sealed with signatures.”

Her alter-ego Bella Swan is set to tie the knot with Robert’s character Edward Cullen in film ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1′

Brad Pitt has hired a helicopter from a budget UK store

The Hollywood actor chartered the mode of transport belonging to supermarket chain Iceland – who use it to fly food around – because he was “sick” of the London rush hour traffic while travelling to various parts of the UK to shoot his latest movie ‘World War Z’.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Brad was sick of wasting time in the London rush hour traffic, so he chartered a helicopter to take him to Billericay for filming. It just so happens the one he’s using belongs to Iceland.

“It’s caused a lot of laughter on set – everyone assumed he’d fly in on Richard Branson’s.”

Brad and partner Angelina recently chartered one of the entrepreneur’s Virgin trains to take them and their children – Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox – from London to Scottish city Glasgow, which is being transformed into a makeshift Philadelphia for the zombie apocalypse movie.

The couple are currently based in Richmond, south west London, where they took their children to see ‘The Smurfs 3D’ movie in the town’s Odeon cinema earlier this month, following on from recent trips to the venue to see ‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2′.

Johnny Depp snubbed other guests as he sat in a private room to watch the GQ Men of the Year awards on a TV screen

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor requested an “expensive leather chair” to sit in and asked for “expensive, vintage red wine” to drink as he watched the ceremony unfold at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden on Tuesday night (06.09.11).

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Johnny likes his privacy and wanted to watch the ceremony in peace. He had all his home comforts surrounding him and just sat back and took it all in.

“The organisers weren’t fussed by his demands. As far as they were concerned, Johnny would have got anything he asked for.”

The 48-year-old star did make an appearance in front of the other guests – who included Charlize Theron, Emma Watson and Kylie Minogue – to present Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, whose audio book ‘Life’ he voiced, with the Writer of the Year prize.

While receiving the gong, Keith revealed his autobiography is set to be turned into a movie and he admitted the biggest problem facing filmmakers could be finding a suitable actor to portray him.

He said: “There are feelers out at the minute [but] I’m in no rush right at the moment. Also, how are they going to find me? The idea of a succession of Keith Richards coming down is horrifying.”

Johnny famously based his ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ character Captain Jack Sparrow on the legendary rocker and has previously indicated he would be interested in portraying him on the big screen.

Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins’ relationship has been confirmed

The ‘Abduction’ co-stars – who have been romantically linked since they began filming the movie earlier this year – are the epitome of “teenage love” and according to their fellow cast member Denzel Whitaker, their natural chemistry will come across on-screen.

Denzel told E! News: “It’s kind of like that teenage love in high school. It was kind of like, ‘Let’s go on a date’.

“They were willing to go bowling. It wasn’t all about the relationship, it was more about having fun with each other and I think any time that’s the premise of your couple, it’s going to go great.

“I think the chemistry is naturally going to show in the movie. It was off set so it definitely came on set.”

Taylor – who has previously dated Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez – recently admitted he loved how “funny and goofy” Lily, the daughter of singer Phil Collins, was on set.

He said: “The amazing thing about Lily is that she was super-open and funny and goofy to begin with. And she definitely did not change at all from the first time I met her. That’s probably the most impressive thing about her – that she’s not afraid to be herself.”

He said: “The amazing thing about Lily is that she was super-open and funny and goofy to begin with. And she definitely did not change at all from the first time I met her. That’s probably the most impressive thing about her – that she’s not afraid to be herself.”

The ‘Twilight’ hunk – who has previously dated singer Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber’s current girlfriend Selena Gomez – also admits it is a “good thing” his female friends do not ask him for advice about men because his guidance would be “confusing”. He told Seventeen magazine: “I would totally be there for a girlfriend, to give her a guy’s perspective [on relationships], which I’m sure would be completely different from a girl’s perspective.

“So it would probably end up confusing for her anyway. Maybe it’s a good thing that my girl friends haven’t asked me for too much advice.”

Taylor Lautner would be “crushed” if a woman turned him down

The 19-year-old actor – who portrays werewolf heartthrob Jacob Black in the ‘Twilight’ franchise – explained his alter-ego is rejected by his love interest Bella Swan, portrayed by Kristen Stewart, in the latest movie ‘Breaking Dawn’, which is something he would find difficult to cope with.

He told Seventeen magazine: “I can relate to Jacob’s feelings in ‘Breaking Dawn’. When he gets the invitation to the wedding, he doesn’t handle it very well.

“I don’t think I would either. If I were in love with a girl and she told me she was marrying somebody else, would crush me. That’s what it does. It destroys Jacob.”

Taylor – who has previously dated the likes of Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift in the past – recently admitted he would be happy to romance a fan, as he is looking for a girlfriend who will just “be herself”.

He said: “Would I date a fan? Well I don’t exclude anyone, so sure, why not?

“I don’t have a type physically, but loyalty and honesty are important, and also someone who can also just be herself and just let loose and have fun.”

“I would love [to follow in their footsteps]. That would be an honour, to be compared to people like that. I look up to Tom Cruise and Matt

The 19-year-old actor – who is best known for playing werewolf Jacob Black in the ‘Twilight Saga’ movie series – insists he enjoys being out of the spotlight when he is at home with his parents, which he says is very different to his lifestyle when working.

“I do go out with my friends and do normal things. It’s like I’m living two lives. I live my normal side that I’ve always had and then there’s the new business life and everything that comes with that.”

The ‘Abduction’ star also believes he owes his success to his loved ones as he doesn’t know how he would cope without them.

He added to Total Film magazine: “When I can take a step back and imagine myself without the support system of my family and my parents, the people around me… that’s kind of spooky. I don’t know where I would be today without them.”

Robert Pattinson bought a new guitar for a tramp

The ‘Twilight Saga’ hunk was putting money into a homeless busker’s tin in Los Angeles when he noticed how battered his instrument was and so headed into a nearby music shop to splash out on a gift for the man. He then emerged with an electric guitar for himself and a new red acoustic for the busker.

British builder Luke Jones witnessed the actor’s generosity, and told The Sun newspaper: “We were gobsmacked when he handed the acoustic guitar to the tramp.

“Robert quickly went back to his car and drove off.

“The busker was totally shell-shocked. He had no idea who Robert was – I think he thought the guitar was stolen.

“He was looking left and right, half expecting the police to arrest him. We asked him to play but he couldn’t get his thoughts together.”

A standard new acoustic guitar costs around £50.

Robert – who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the vampire series – is a keen musician himself and has recorded two tracks, ‘Never Think’ and ‘Let Me Sign’ for the soundtrack to the first ‘Twilight’ film.

The 24-year-old star has previously said he sees music as his “back-up plan” if his film career fails, and that he believes he will be famous when he’s dead.

He said: “I am sure I’ll be one of those artists that people don’t pay any attention to while I’m alive, and when I am dead people will go yeah, man, that was a work of art.”

Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom have been house-hunting in New Zealand

The couple – who welcomed their first son, Flynn, into the world in January – were spotted looking at a four-bedroom rental property on the island yesterday (23.08.11).

According to website JustJared.com, the house also boasts a gym, home cinema, spa, swimming pool and wine cellar.

Orlando and Miranda usually divide their time between Los Angeles and London, but the couple could be looking for a long-term base while the British actor films the two forthcoming ‘Hobbit’ movies on the island, which is situated 1500km away from his spouse’s native Australia.

Earlier this year, Orlando spoke of how he finds Los Angeles can be overwhelming.

He said: “My first overriding memory of LA is flying out of the city to New Zealand to do ‘Lord of the Rings’ and looking out of the window of the plane thinking it looked big and intimidating.

“A bit scary really – just so vast and bustling.”

The 34-year-old star has also spoken of his desire to raise his son without being in the public eye too much.

He said: “It’s good in LA but I kind of live in London as well. Most of the time I keep it very quiet as I like to be at home and not in the eye of it all.

“You can’t avoid it sometimes in LA unfortunately – I try my best but it’s very difficult.

“When I’m in the UK, and I’m here more than people would think, I tend to keep a very low profile. I just enjoy being home with my family and mates and stuff.”

Daniel Radcliffe reportedly wants to marry his girlfriend, Rosanne Coker

The ‘Harry Potter’ star’s secret love was only revealed yesterday (19.08.11) – although they have been dating for a year – and Daniel, 22, is already said to have his sights set on marriage.

A friend told The Sun newspaper: “They’re crazy about each other. Dan wants to marry her.” While Daniel met Rosanne on the set of ‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’, where she was working as a runner, in 2007 she is said to have made him wait until the end of shooting the final film in the series, ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2′, last year
before she would date him.

Another source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Dan really fell for Rosie in a big way. He was doing all the chasing and Rosie made him sweat. She was always attracted to him but wanted to keep their on-set relationship as strictly business – much to Dan’s dismay.

“But he agreed and realised that Rosie was worth holding out for.” Daniel has already proved a hit with 22-year-old Rosanne’s parents, and her father, Malcolm – a painter and decorator – has praised him as a “lovely” guy. He said: “I don’t want to say too much really as they would really prefer to keep things quiet.

“I have met Daniel and he is a lovely guy. I’m just really happy for Rosanne and as long as she is happy that is all that matters to me.” Before Roseanne, Daniel had dated Irish actress Laura O’Toole and was recently linked to Olive Uniacke.
