Helen Mirren was terrified of working with Joe Pesci on their new movie Love Ranch, because she felt "intimidated" by the star's acting skills.

The Oscar-winners team up to play Charlie and Grace Bontempo in the new film, which is based on the lives of real couple Joe and Sally Conforte, who opened America's first legal brothel in Nevada in the 1970s.

And despite starting her acting career almost two decades earlier than her co-star, Mirren admits she couldn't help feeling outwitted by the Goodfellas legend.

She tells Britain's Daily Express, "He's such an icon of American cinema so I...

Helen Mirren has sympathy for sex workers. The actress plays a madam in new movie "Love Ranch."

She explained, "The human race is hypocritical. Sex will always be with us. Prostitution will always be with us. Hookers, w**res, prostitutes, whatever you may call them, are some of the most ignobled people in the world."

In the film, Helen and Joe Pesci star as a married couple whose faithfulness is tested with deadly results after starting Nevada's first legal brothel in this Capitol Films drama. The screenplay is based on a true story that ended with the death of boxer Oscar Bonavena at th...

Adam Sandler’s “Grown Ups” proved to be utterly disappointing from a comedic perspective. This largely unfunny film has me worried that some of my favorite former cast members of “Saturday Night Live” have fallen into the Eddie Murphy syndrome of making bad family comedies. Juvenile humor that lacks imagination and unenthusiastic performances from the actors make “Grown Ups” seem like it was just another paycheck for them. My Grade: C-

Patrick Swayze was considering poking fun at his two greatest movie roles as a zombie in a TV project that has become a much-hyped new film. The Dirty Dancing star was approached to play a member of the undead in horror comedy Zombieland, but had to turn the cameo down when he became ill.

Film writer Rhett Reese tells ShockTillYouDrop.com that Swayze, who passed away last week, was interested in a cameo when the Woody Harrelson movie was a TV pilot - and the writers planned to lampoon classic scenes in Ghost and Dirty Dancing.

He says, "It was many years ago, before he got sick. It wa...

Actress Angie Everhart has welcomed her first child - and is thrilled with her "handsome" son.

The 39-year-old beauty gave birth to little Kayden Bobby Everhart on Friday via Caesarean section.

The star - who was engaged to Joe Pesci before they split last year - has become a single mum, and has still not revealed the name of the tot's father.

Everhart's representative says, "Both mom and baby are doing very well."

And the flame-haired siren is confident about her new role as a mother - she revealed last month that she isn't scared of raising her child single handed.

Actress Bai Ling has been added to Helen Mirren's bevy of beauties in a new film about a Las Vegas brothel - even though her audition was anything but normal.

The Wild Wild West star had to be persuaded to turn around after spending much of the Love Ranch screen test with her back to director Taylor Hackford, Mirren's husband.

Bai Ling explains, "He said, 'Turn around,' and I said, 'No, I'm not in a good mood.' I was not trying to please him, but to be myself. Taylor Hackford asked me, 'How do you seduce men?' I said, 'By not seducing them.' I just be there (sic)."

But, despi...

Lawyers have been around basically as long as the law has been present - even back in Ancient Rome and Greece there were men who would stand up and speak for the laws they made. Over the years the role of the lawyer has altered a few times, but it always comes back to truth, justice, and honesty ... or the exact opposite of those ideas.

Lawyers have gained a rather negative persona, either due to them wanting too much money or doing it for their own ego rather than what is right. Film often interprets reality, and so lawyers on screen are usually portrayed as either virtuous, helpful,...

The movie Duplicity starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts hit theaters this weekend. In the film, Owen, a former MI-6 agent, and Roberts, a former CIA agent, work together on a project, but neither feels they can completely trust each other.

The release is sure to be one of the more popular movies of the spring, and it got Starpulse thinking about the best spy movies.

One of the most entertaing spy movies is Arnold Schwarzenegger's True Lies, where he plays ...

Pregnant model/actress Angie Everhart is carrying the baby of the man she accused of domestic abuse, according to tabloid reports.

The Last Action Hero beauty announced her pregnancy last year, but has refused to reveal the identity of the baby's father. She split from her former fiancé Joe Pesci in April 2008, and went on to date struggling actor Chad Stansbury.

Model/actress Angie Everhart is set to become a first-time mom - and hopes to turn her pregnancy into a reality TV series.

The Last Action Hero beauty - who split from former fiancé Joe Pesci last April - is 14 weeks pregnant, but refuses to reveal the identity of the baby's father. She tells E! Online, "The dad is very nice and he's very excited about it, but we are not a couple. It's nobody you know."

What do a speaking snowman, a suicidal father; a Terminating toy-hunter and a Ghostbuster all have in common? They've all played their parts in creating the best and worst Christmas movies ever made.

Yes, it's that time of year again when we plonk ourselves in front of the TV, stuffed to the hilt, and watch re-runs of festive films we've all seen dozens of times. But, where some melt our hearts with the pure pleasure of the Christmas spirit, others make us wish we were locked outside with our tongue stuck to a frozen lamppost.

How can we tell if a movie is a Christmas classic or...

Angie Everhart's bid to bring choking charges against her ex-boyfriend has fallen flat because Los Angeles authorities have dropped the case.

Actor Chad Stansbury was accused of violently attacking Everhart during a fight in August, but officials representing the Los Angeles County District Attorney won't pursue the case because there isn't enough evidence to prosecute.

The actress/model, who recently reconciled with another ex-boyfriend - Joe Pesci - told police that Stansbury choked her during a heated argument and fled the scene, according to TMZ.com.

Actress/model Angie Everhart has been arrested for drunk driving - just days after splitting from longtime love Joe Pesci. The 38-year-old was arrested shortly after 2am last Thursday in Los Angeles after failing a sobriety test.

According to TMZ.com, Everhart persuaded police officers to allow her to use the toilet in a nearby restaurant before taking the test, which she subsequently failed. She is also reported to have refused to take part in any chemical testing because she claimed her attorney had told her not to. The Denial star was held on $15,000 bail but was released later th...

Chinese movie star Bai Ling has blamed her recent arrest for shoplifting on 'boyfriend troubles'.

The Crow actress was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly walking into a terminal gift shop in Los Angeles International Airport - taking two celebrity magazines and a pack of batteries without paying for her goods - worth just $16.

However Ling insists the episode was just part of a "crazy day", telling E! News the shoplifting was caused by her having to cope with the "huge problem of breaking up with her boyfriend (before) Valentine's Day."

Ling, 37, was reportedly on her w...

Actor Joe Pesci is "happy" after a private investigator dropped a $103,000 lawsuit against him for alleged breach of contract.

Private investigator John Perry claimed he was hired by Pesci "to perform private investigative, bodyguard, security and property surveillance services" - after the actor's ex-wife Claudia Haro was accused of hiring a hitman to shoot her stuntman husband in 1995.

Perry says he was never paid, despite carrying out the investigation and racking up a bill of $103,000. But Perry dropped the lawsuit on Monday - a day before a scheduled court hearing on defens...
