Michael Sheen in Familiar Company
ACTOR Michael Sheen is currently treading the boards as Shakespeare’s troubled Hamlet at the Young Vic and it seems that since taking on the role he can’t stop bumping into fellow thesps who have played the Prince of Denmark.
“At the first night party Mark Rylance, a former Hamlet, came over to say something to me,” Sheen, 42, tells The Stage.

Is sun setting on ‘Twilight’?
When the “Twilight” saga was born, its creator wasn’t even awake.
“This started with a dream I had one night about a vampire and a girl,” says Stephenie Meyer, author of the four megapopular romance novels. “I asked my husband to please watch the kids while I wrote the first book. I sent the book out and got a ton of ‘no’s.’ And then I got a yes. I had no idea it would lead to . . . everything.”
Forbes ranked Meyer as the 59th most powerful celebrity in 2010 with reported annual earnings of $40 million. “I don’t know if all of this has changed me as a storyteller,” says the Arizona native. “It has given me fodder as a writer.”
The latest “Twilight” movie, “Breaking Dawn — Part 1,” has been No. 1 at the box office for two weekends, and Meyer’s book The Host also is being developed into a feature film.
Q. Will there be another book with these characters to continue the franchise?
A. Right now I don’t have much drive about vampires. Sometimes you want to get into a new world. But the characters will always be alive for me, which is my answer right now.

Big Hollywood Reviews 'Loosies'
Bobby (Peter Facinelli) is living the high life in the new drama “Loosies.” He works on Wall Street, dates beautiful women and has a great boss (Vincent Gallo).
Well, that’s what it seems like on the outside to those closest to him (which would basically just consist of his mother). Dig a little deeper, and you find out that Bobby’s actual profession is that of a pickpocket, and his boss is a man who his late father owed $500,000 in gambling debt. Now, Bobby is slowly paying it off by working for him as an elusive street thief.
Oh, and the beautiful women? Well, one of them is three months pregnant and runs into Bobby. That becomes the central conflict of this hidden gem, available now via Video on Demand. Well, and the fact that Lt. Sullivan (Michael Madsen) is doing everything in his power to catch Bobby on account of the fact that Bobby got a little too greedy and pick pocketed his badge.

Shoe Designer Brian Atwood Talks Kristen Stewart wearing his Heels
Kristen Stewart is a huge fan of your platform designs. Earlier this month, she wore a pair of your Marcella heels to her Hollywood Walk of Fame handprint ceremony and she was photographed swapping them out for a pair of checkered Vans. What was going on there?
She had to take them off. She didn’t want to ruin them, because they were velvet.
Ohhh, we’re glad you cleared that up. So it wasn’t because the shoes were uncomfortable?
No, no, no. Not at all. She didn’t want to ruin the velvet. I thought she would have gone barefoot, but I guess they had to be in shoes. She didn’t want to put cement feet [in the heels].

Charlize Theron's Shining Inspiration For Snow White Role
Charlize Theron drew inspiration from Jack Nicholson's crazed character in The Shining to play the Evil Queen in her highly-anticipated movie Snow White And The Huntsman.
The actress turns bad to play the malevolent monarch in the high-action take on the classic fairytale opposite Twilight star Kristen Stewart as the banished princess.
Theron's Evil Queen is obsessed with beauty, and sucks the life of her pretty rivals to stay young - and Theron reveals she looked back at Nicholson's maniacal turn as writer/caretaker Jack Torrance, who descends into madness while looking after an isolated hotel, in a bid to get to grips with the part.

Costume Designer Reveals New Details About Edward’s Tuxedo
The ‘Breaking Dawn’ costume designer reveals how he got Rob ready in a custom-made, vintage-esque tuxedo for literally the wedding of the century!
We now know every little detail and stitch that went into preparing Bella (Kristen Stewart) and her custom-made Carolina Herrera gown for the Breaking Dawn wedding — but what about Edward (Robert Pattinson)? Breaking Dawn costume designer Michael Wilkinson was given the task of finding the perfect tux for the highly-anticipated wedding — and it certainly wasn’t off the rack!
Michael told MTV, “No off-the-rack! Never. I drew up my ideal ideas for all the tuxedos. We wanted them to have a vintage feel, that sort of Edwardian turn-of-the-century vibe. Edward says, “I’ve been waiting a hundred years to marry you,” so we thought Alice would have fun riffing off of that. But at the same time we didn’t want it to look theatrical, we wanted contemporary, young, and fresh. I drew up something that combined the lines of Edwardian formalwear and we made it up in beautiful contemporary Italian wools and gorgeous shirting materials. We had a fantastic collaboration with Brioni. I sent my drawings over to the incredible tailors at Brioni in Italy and they sent back these beautiful suits. That was a really fun.”

3. 'Snow White and the Huntsman'
Considering the film is named "Snow White and the Huntsman," there's a great deal of Evil Queen in this trailer instead. But when that queen is a Charlize Theron indulging in naked milk baths, well, we'll let it slide. Especially since the slow build of dastardly queenitude just makes it more badass when Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman -- and especially Kristen Stewart's Snow White -- finally do show up. With two competing "Snow White" movies coming out next year, this trailer had to be good in order to catch our interest. Mission most definitely accomplished.

10 Celebrity 'Twilight' Fans
"Breaking Dawn Part 1" continues to be number one at the box office, despite "The Muppets" opening on a family holiday weekend. With all of the success and money "Twilight" has enjoyed, it's bound to have lots of fans in Hollywood. Plenty of people there just want to jump on the bandwagon of something popular.
However, there are a number of celebrities who appear to be genuine Twi-hards. They may start watching "Twilight" as a joke, or read to the first book just to find out what the hype is about, but it ends up hooking them. They end up talking about it in interviews and tweeting about it much more than I imagine they expected.
We already know about the obvious celebrity Twi-hards like Dakota Fanning, who won the part of Jane after admitting her fandom, and any female child star under 15 years old. Here are 10 Twi-hard celebrities that you may not know about.
50 Cent
When 50 Cent decided that he needed new G-Unit recruits, Robert Pattinson's name made his shortlist. He told MTV, "He has a big enough following to be the frontline. 'Twilight' ain't no joke." Curtis Jackson is joking. He attended the "New Moon" premiere and admitted on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that he's a fan. There was even a minor campaign to get him into "Breaking Dawn." After all, with as many bullets as 50 Cent has taken, he may be a vampire.

When returning home proves more difficult than she thought, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate (Patton Oswalt) who hasn't quite gotten over high school either.

Christopher Heyerdahl Talks Breaking Dawn Part 1 & 2
When you became a part of the Twilight films, did you have any idea what you were getting yourself into?
HEYERDAHL: I had a pretty good idea. I was made aware of the books by my nieces, and my wife is a high school teacher, so she, of course, was in the middle of that, watching it go down, in and around schooltime. So, I had a good feeling that it was going to be a very popular event. Certainly, having seen Twilight, I knew there was such a strong movement with the films themselves. But, having seen the reaction to the books, it was a pretty safe bet that it was going to be a popular venture. It’s been a lot of fun. I love the vampire genre, and being able to play the oldest vampire, and certainly one of a band of old-timers, representing the old ways, was fun. And being a part of a project like that, where you get to witness how the new guard of actors in the business deal with the huge challenge of enormous popularity. I don’t think it’s easy for anyone, but I think that they are surviving it quite well.
What can audiences look forward to with Breaking Dawn – Pt. 2, in regard to your character and the Volturi?
HEYERDAHL: That’s always a difficult question to answer because I don’t want to put out any spoilers, but everyone’s read the book, so I think it’s relatively safe. There are some things that have come into the story, that are alluded to in the book, but aren’t necessarily expressed in word. They’re expressed in idea, in the book. Some of those things will be brought to fruition, visually, which was a lot of fun. It’s always fun to see a thought or an idea come to fruition. It’s almost like going into the mind of a character. You get to go along there, which is a wonderful thing for film. On stage, you can never really go into the mind of a character. You just follow along with a scene. Whereas with film, you can actually dive right inside. So, some of those events have been brought to life.
