Gene Hackman was quizzed by cops on Tuesday after allegedly slapping a homeless man who swore at his wife.

The Royal Tenenbaums star lost his temper after a man, identified by TMZ.com editors as Bruce Becker, approached Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa in an aggressive manner outside a restaurant in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Gwyneth Paltrow is urging readers of her online health and lifestyle website to get some sleep - because a good rest is tantamount to good health.

The actress has teamed up with her doctor, Frank Lipman, to get the message across with a list of sleep tips on Goop.com.

She writes, "Everyone I know is knackered (tired), me included. But I didn't imagine that there could be health problems associated with not getting a good night’s rest.

"I recently read a book called Light’s Out: Sleep, Sugar and Survival by T.S. Wiley, which talks about the negative cumulative effects of sleep deprivation...

At some point this week I hope to catch the wacky comedy "The Men Who Stare at Goats." While I have read some bad reviews of the film, I believe my tendency to disagree with the mainstream, could be a wild card for my own appraisal of the movie.

I'm having difficulty believing the collection of George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges could contribute to a horrific film considering I how much appreciate their abilities on screen.

The Frat Pack has been a powerful force in the new Millennium, and for awhile it was like we could not see a comedy without Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, and Owen Wilson. These comedic geniuses are quirky, timely, and have a lasting power that will keep them in movies for years to come. The goofy, charming Owen Wilson has proven himself not only as an actor, but as an Oscar-nominated screenwriter. There's a lot more going on beneath those blonde surfer bangs than one might expect, and with "Marley & Me" coming out this Christmas, let's take a look at some of the fine...

There's the quintessential romantic comedy, and then there's the romdramedy. Similar to a dramedy (in which there is an equal balance of humor and serious content), a romdramedy combines comedy and drama with that mushy thing we call romance.

This is not a list of the best films over the past 20 years. Rather it is a list that gives preferences to those films that best combine all three elements - romance, comedy and drama.

Films like Magnolia and The Matrix were barred from competition, while films like Down with Love were considered (however, that one didn't make the cut)....

Director Wes Anderson is on course to fulfill a childhood dream - after getting the green light to make a big-screen version of Roald Dahl classic, Fantastic Mr. Fox. The Royal Tenenbaums movie maker was desperate to adapt the 1970s children's tale, and after a lengthy battle, has finally begun work on the animated movie in London.

He says, "It was one of my favorite books as a child. I have been trying to make this film for eight years. There's a whole new bit at the start and a new section at the end. But we've tried to do something that Roald Dahl would love."

Troubled movie star Owen Wilson has slammed his The Darjeeling Limited monkey co-stars in his first interview since an August suicide attempt.

The actor was interviewed by pal and longtime collaborator Wes Anderson - who directed "The Darjeeling Limited" - for the MySpace Artist On Artist series, with the chat posted on the social networking site on Friday at midnight.

He told Anderson, "At first you think, gosh, monkeys, that's so kind of incredible... But they didn't have your best interests at heart. They weren't these adorable little creatures. They want to replace you."

On the night The Darjeeling Limited opens, Owen Wilson's suicide attempt makes him a Tenenbaum for life (Aquatic).

There is a place in every human psyche reserved for the dark, brooding thoughts associated with death. There is even a sleeping monster that may ponder what holding a dead man would be like, or what people would say at one's funeral, or what sort of effort it takes to kill oneself? For most this dark spot of the brain remains largely inactive, awaking in nightmares and freak daydreams, only to be quickly pushed out of the mind until the next time it is unwillingly rejuven...

Troubled movie star Owen Wilson has given his first interview since his suicide attempt - to his longtime friend, director Wes Anderson. The interview, to be posted online on Friday at midnight, sees the actor talk candidly to the director of his latest film, The Darjeeling Limited, as part of the MySpace Artist on Artist series. It will be Wilson's first public airing since he rushed to hospital after slashing his wrists at his Santa Monica home two months ago.

At the time, the Wedding Crashers star asked for privacy with a statement saying, "I respectfully ask that the media allow m...

Movie director Wes Anderson has denied reports Owen Wilson's troubled private life contributed to his latest film character - a man with suicidal tendencies.

A depressed Wilson allegedly slashed his wrists in an apparent suicide attempt at his home in Santa Monica, California last month. And, in a bizarre coincidence, his latest movie character is involved in a deliberate motorcycle accident in The Darjeeling Limited.

But filmmaker Anderson insists Wilson had no hand in writing the role.

He says, "It (suicide theme) comes more from me than Owen. He is just playing a role. ...

Actor Luke Wilson has praised his ex-girlfriend Drew Barrymore for casting him in hit movie Charlie's Angels after their split - because he could never do the same for her. The Royal Tenenbaums star dated the actress in the late 1990s, and despite their failed relationship, the stars are still the best of friends - with Barrymore casting Wilson in the 2000 film as Cameron Diaz's on screen boyfriend.

While admiring Barrymore's professionalism, Wilson admits he wouldn't have done the same if the roles were reversed.

He says, "Drew is one of my best friends. The fact she hired me for...

Director Wes Anderson is re-teaming with pal Owen Wilson for a comedy about brothers searching for enlightenment in India. "The Darjeeling Limited" will also star Oscar winner Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman.

Anderson, who wrote the film with Schwartzman and Roman Coppola, will shoot the film entirely in India beginning in December. Wilson, Schwartzman and Brody will play three brothers who take a spiritual trek through India following the death of their father.

Owen Wilson is stunned he has carved a successful film career by starring in comedies because he was serious during high school. The actor has starred in a string of comedies, including Wedding Crashers, The Royal Tenenbaums and Shanghai Noon, and admits he is often cast in the 'stupid' role.

He tells the New York Daily News, "It's kind of funny that I ended up working in a lot of these comedies. I wasn't the class clown in school. I didn't come from a stand-up background. It puts me on edge, that kind of machine gun (style), always looking for jokes. I haven't played too many busines...

Owen Wilson often regrets kicking brother Luke out of his Hollywood home because he misses his sibling and the boar's head he brought with him. Owen admits his place hasn't felt the same ever since his actor brother moved out following a fight about tidiness.

He explains, "He told me that I wasn't keeping the place tidy enough. Luke can be a little bit of a type A personality. But what's funny is, as soon as he moved out, I kind of missed him. When he moved in he brought a stuffed boar's head that he got from The Royal Tenenbaums. I was like, 'Of all the props you could've gotten why ...
