Kate Hudson struggled through Kurt Russell's new film Poseidon because she couldn't stomach watching scenes in which her 'Pa' appeared to be drowning. The actress reluctantly agreed to join her mother's longtime partner at the premiere of the disaster film because she was "a mess" when she watched his character in firefighter drama Backdraft risk death on the big screen - and she didn't want to watch him die.

Poseidon Adventure star Carol Lynley is less than impressed by the new remake Poseidon, branding it "boring." Lynley played Nonnie Parry in the 1972 film, the role taken by The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie in the new blockbuster. The 64-year-old actress hates the latest version, and wishes Hollywood could have just left the story alone instead of trying to better the original.

Amid allegations of Warholian-style literary hoaxes and identity scandals involving "JT LeRoy," The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, adapted from "JT’s" second novel, comes to DVD June 6, 2006.

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have signed The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie to star in their new film "Grind House." The maverick movie makers are huge fans of the beauty, real name Stacy Ferguson, and hope she will add sex appeal to the upcoming thriller.

Josh Lucas has stopped his womanising ways. The Poseidon star says he's "womanized out" and is happy to be single for a while, but does want to settle down and start a family at some point. Lucas - who dated Salma Hayek for a year - confessed: "I'm about to turn 35 and I want a family. I can feel it in me. Otherwise the rewards of bouncing around become limited, for sure."

"Anytime you put a lot of grips and special-effects people in water, there's going to be urine ... And you got comfortable to the point where you were drinking it." Actor Josh Lucas let go of his inhibitions during filming for new movie Poseidon.

Mission:Impossible III has scored a second weekend at the top of the box office, fighting off maritime disaster film Poseidon. After underwhelming moviegoers last weekend, the Tom Cruise thriller was still able to retain first place with ticket sales of $24.5 million.

Hollywood is counting on Superman Returns to end its cash crisis at the box office this summer. Movie bosses - who suffered their worst summer at the box office last year - are praying for the Man of Steel to save the industry. Having released a string of disappointing blockbusters Hollywood made a mere $3.6 billion last summer - which makes it the one of the worst seasons of the decade.

Mia Maestro is obsessed with scuba diving after taking lessons in the water sport for new deep-sea disaster film Poseidon. The Argentine actress spent hours underwater in the upcoming remake and now she can't stay out of the ocean - or the bath.

When a rogue wave capsizes a luxury cruise ship in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, a small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in a battle for their lives.
