Avatar's Oscar Shot

Two weeks after her Iraq-war drama was shut out at the Golden Globes, the Hurt Locker director beat out ex-hubby James Cameron for the top prize Saturday at the 62nd Annual Directors Guild of America Awards, the first time a woman has ever won the prestigious honor.

"This is the most incredible moment of my life," Bigelow, 58, said. "This is amazing. I'm so deeply stunned, honored and awed."

The DGA prize is one of the most accurate Oscar predictors, having accurately presaged the Academy Award-winning Best Director all but six times in 61 years.

Meanwhile, Louie Psihoyos won the prize for documentary direction for The Cove, while screen stalwart Norman Jewison (Moonstruck, ...And Justice for All) received the guild's top honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Kristen Stewart Liked Filming

Being involved in the Twilight saga is fun, but all those vampires, fans and piles of money can really start to take their toll on a girl. That’s why Kristen Stewart, 19, told HollywoodLife.com she liked filming The Runaways when we talked to her at the movie’s big Sundance premiere Jan. 24 in Park City, Utah. “It’s really nice to do something that’s not reconstituted,” she told us. “It’s nice to change it up.”

And “change it up” she did! Kristen said she had just three weeks to go from emotional black hole Bella Swan to mullet-sporting rocker Joan Jett. “She looks bad ass with her strut and her stance, but she really just stands for what she thinks is right,” Kristen told us of her character, and new personal mentor, Joan. “I can totally relate to that, so it was comfortable. You just have to not think about it.”

As for The Runaways’ target audience, Kristen told us anyone who believes in girl power will probably find something to relate to in the flick. “Anyone who has convictions like Joan will appreciate the movie,” she told us.

Spider-Man 4 Canned

Sony Pictures have released a statement confirming that the current Spider-Man franchise - at only ten years old - is being dumped in favour of a revamped origin story.

The studio also announced the news on Twitter; "Spider-Man: Summer 2012: Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012."

It's fair to say our Spidey sense has been tingling recently, with rumours of script rewrites and discrepancies between the comics series' director, Sam Raimi, and the studio circulating for a while, but it was last week's news that the release date had been shuffled around that truly had us worried.

Raimi is said to have been concerned about the scheduled 2011 release date, and left the project on the basiss that he couldn't keep the movie's integrity while achieving a relatively quick release, although he hasn't publically blamed anyone for the fiasco.

“Working on the Spider-Man movies was the experience of a lifetime for me," Raimi said in a statement released to the press.

"While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job.”

Tobey Maguire, meanwhile, told Deadline.com: “I am so proud of what we accomplished with the Spider-Man franchise over the last decade. Beyond the films themselves I have formed some deep and lasting friendships. I am excited to see the next chapter unfold in this incredible story.”"

The Lovely Bones

Packed with stunning visuals but marred by storytelling deficiencies, Peter Jackson's manipulative adaptation of Alice Sebold's beloved novel is a deeply unsatisfying affair.

Spider-Man 4

Poor John Malkovich. Just days after the endearingly eccentric Being John Malkovich star officially signed on to play the villainous Vulture in Spider-Man 4, Sony has apparently decided to pull plug on the entire project. According to beloved Hollywood muckraker Nikki Finke, ongoing problems with the film's script have caused director Sam Raimi to quit the production, citing his inability to finish Spider-Man 4 in time for its the planned released date of Summer 2011. After that monumental domino fell, star Tobey Maguire and other castmembers quickly followed suit, bringing Malkovich's lifelong dream of starring in a massively-budgeted comic book flick to a tragic end.

Sony responded to the news with an upbeat press release in suspiciously quick fashion, as if they'd somehow anticipated this shocking turn of events:

"Culver City, CA (January 11, 2010) -- Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012. Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today they are moving forward with a film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises."

Well, thank goodness Sony is sticking with the same writer whose problematic Spider-Man 4 script caused the film's director and the star to quit the entire franchise.

"Last Chance Harvey" NEW MOVIE

Producer Tim Perell, Nicola Usborne
Director Joel Hopkins
Writer Joel Hopkins
Release Date 26-Dec-2009

“The Twilight Saga"

According to his “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” co-star, Bryce Dallas Howard, the British heartthrob chipped a tooth while flossing.

Bryce revealed the information after New York Magazine asked her about the big screen vampire’s personal hygiene as she promoted her new film, “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.”

“Actually, he’s incredibly hygienic,” she said. “He told me this story that made me crack up. He was like, ‘Oh, I have to go to the dentist.’ And I was like, ‘Oh no, what happened? Just a check-up?’ And he was like, ‘No, I chipped a tooth.’ And I was like, ‘How?’ And he was like, ‘Flossing.’ Who does that? I don’t even floss. So he’s hygienic. Trust me.”

And Bryce, who recently took over Rachelle Lafevre’s role as the evil vampire Victoria in “Eclipse,” revealed that Robert’s character in the film franchise – Edward Cullen – made her worry about meeting him.

“I actually came out to him that I was totally nervous about [meeting him],” the redhead said. “He’s such a sweet young man, and there’s such a distinctive difference between him and Edward Cullen. He does such a wonderful job embodying that character, and bringing that character to life. But when you meet him, he’s such a down-to-earth, humble person, you feel bad freaking out around him.”

Stephen Baldwin For Celebrity Big Brother

Celebrity Big Brother 2010
Ivana Trump

Legendary divorcee, Ivana Trump, is rumoured to be taking part in the final ever series of Celebrity Big Brother. Blimey, it's not quite Trump Towers is it?

The former model and ex-wife of Donald Trump is said to have joked to pals: "Maybe I will find my next husband in the house."

Well, there's certainly a hot selection of men for her to choose from...

HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - PART ONEharry potter and the deathly hallows part 1

We all know why the Potter book has been split into two, and given how well the screenwriters condensed the last three, it's not because there's so much story to tell. Still, most fans would be happy to pay for the privelage of seeing an extra Potter movie, so why argue?

Harry and his cohorts are no longer confined to the school walls, rather, they're on the hunt for the Horcruxes, the elusive household items that hold the key to killing Voldemort.

Director David Yates proved a dab hand with the subject material, even though the Half Blood Prince was his feature film debut. Without the school and love potion subplots to worry about this time, there's a good chance Yates will make the next one the best so far.

Sex and The City 2

Four years after the popular TV series left the four Manolo-loving Manhattanites loved-up and laughing, we pick up the stories of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda to find out what comes after happily-ever-after. With these label-loving ladies, bigger is always better so there's enough romance, raunch and really, really high heels here to satisfy even the most demanding fan of the show.

A IOVE STORY

NEW* Dogging: A Love Story

Genre: (Sex) Comedy

Story: A young journalist plucks up the courage to lose his inhibitions and hang around car parks to find out what this dogging thing is all about. But when he meets a girl in one particularly seedy car park, he finds the unexpected happening - he begins to fall in love.

It's not wholly sleazy this one, but it is a sex comedy in the vein of the old Confessions movies from the 70s.

PLANET 51

Humans are the aliens in this otherworldly animated fantasy about Lem (Justin Long), a young resident of Planet 51, who finds himself harbouring an American astronaut (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) hiding from the jumpy extra-terrestrial military. Name-checking classics from ET to 2001: A Space Odyssey, this neatly makes telling points about man’s paranoia and fear of the unknown while keeping the anklebiters happy with a rattling cosmic caper.

2012 movies

It’s the end of the world as we know it when a solar flare sends the Earth’s core into meltdown. The ancient Mayans predicted it would all be over in 2012, but as far as divorced father John Cusack, scientist Chiwetel Ejiofor, and US President Danny Glover are concerned, humanity’s time is not up yet. After Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow, director Roland Emmerich speeds us to doomsday for a third time with an eye-popping display of global pandemonium.

Robert Downey Jr banishes the traditional deerstalker and tweed cape to bring us a super-sleuth just at home in a bare-knuckle bout as he is peering down a microscope. Jude Law is the straitlaced Dr Watson trying to rein him in while Mark Strong oozes evil his diabolic foe Lord Blackwood. Director Guy Ritchie conjures up his most enjoyable caper yet. Should you see it? The answer's elementary, dear viewer
