Actress Minnie Driver is set to show off her musical skills in new movie Hunky Dory by performing with a childrens orchestra.

The actress, who has recorded two albums, has never sung on film before and she admits it was a dream come true to combine her two passions.

She says, "Apart from singing the title track on the The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack this is my first time singing on film. It's the best experience I've had.

"It was incredible singing all the music from the 70s; I sang a Beach Boys song, I sang a Dusty Springfield song. My favorite was singing "Strange Magic." The orche...

David Bowie has taken to his website to deny reports he's planning a collaboration with Lady Gaga.

The reclusive rocker states the rumors linking him to the pop star's new album are "untrue and a hoax."

Recent internet reports suggested the pair was working on a new song, called "Vinyl," which Bowie wrote for the "Paparazzi" hitmaker, but the "Let's Dance" star insists he has got nothing to do with Gaga's new material.

In a statement posted on his website, he writes, "When this tall story first surfaced a few days ago it was denied as a hoax in an update to the same article, and we thoug...

Cherie Currie's teenage rape ordeal was axed from the storyline of the new "The Runaways" biopic - because writer/director Floria Sigismondi didn't want the Cherry Bomb singer to lose her innocence at the beginning of the movie.

Currie, who is portrayed by Dakota Fanning in the new film, admits there was a sexual assault that inspired her whole look, but Sigismondi didn't want to dwell on an incident before the rocker formed the band with Joan Jett.

The rock star reveals, "There were particular reasons why I cut my hair into a (David) Bowie haircut. That was because when my twin sister'...

Like her "Valentine's Day" co-star Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway used feathers as inspiration for her red carpet dress at the film's premiere in Hollywood on Feb. 8. See her pics!

Hathaway opted for a vibrant blue minidress, which was accentuated with whispy feather-like fabric around the bosom and hips. We just wish Anne paired her dress with a softer hair style.

In addition to "Valentine's Day," Anne stars in Tim Burton's upcoming film "Alice In Wonderland." Although she was originally asked to play Alice, she didn't want to play another "pretty girl in a fairy dress." She settled fo...

"I have a bra from Brokeback Mountain and now I have the White Queen's knickers (from Alice In Wonderland). They're white and frilly and I wore them the other day actually." Anne Hathaway steals undergarments from her films.

Anne turned down the title role in Tim Burton's new "Alice In Wonderland" because she was fed up with playing a "pretty girl in a fairy dress." She told Britain's GQ, "I wanted the Queen to be a cross between Debbie Harry, Greta Garbo, David Bowie, with (a) little bit of the work of Dan Flavin thrown in for good measure."

And despite rumors, Anne will not be pl...

Anne Hathaway turned down the title role in Tim Burton's new Alice In Wonderland movie - because she was fed up with playing a "pretty girl in a fairy dress." The actress was asked to star as Alice in the upcoming fantasy film but opted instead to play the White Queen - because she had previously played a pretty protagonist in The Princess Diaries movies which launched her career. The role of Alice eventually went to Australian newcomer Mia Wasikowska, but Hathaway has no regrets about her decision.

She tells Britain's GQ magazine, "The studio had the Alice script a long time ago and I...

Peter Gabriel will perform selections from his upcoming covers album "Scratch My Back" with a full orchestra in Berlin, London and Paris in March.

The rocker's first new album in eight years will be released next month and features orchestral arrangements of songs by David Bowie, Lou Reed, Bon Iver, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Elbow and Radiohead, among others.

Gabriel will perform the tracks at four shows, culminating with concerts at London's 02 Arena on March 27 and 28.

David Bowie's The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars has topped a new list of the gayest albums ever recorded.

The 1972 classic beat out eponymous 1980s albums from The Smiths, Tracy Chapman and the Indigo Girls to top the new countdown in gay magazine Out.

Starpulse recently had the chance to chat with Tokio Hotel band members Bill Kaulitz, Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing, and Gustav Schafer. The German pop quartet emerged on the American music radar when they pulled out an upset win over Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Jordin Sparks for "Best New Artist" at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

The guys were great to chat with and Bill, the eccentric lead singer (who did most of the talking), let us in on one of his styling secrets, what band he's been listening to recently, Adam Lambert, and the making of their recent album, "Humanoid....

A white witch helped cure David Bowie of his crippling drug-fueled paranoia, according to a revealing new book about the rock star.

Writer Mark Spitz spent years talking to Bowie, as well as the rocker's family and friends, in a bid to explode myths about the Let's Dance legend in his new tome, "Bowie."

And Spitz reveals how the rocker called on magic to help him get through a terrifying part of his life.

In the book, Spitz writes, "While planning the follow-up to "Young Americans" (album), Bowie would sit in the house with a pile of high-quality cocaine atop the glass coffee table...

David Bowie has opened up about his mismatched eyes, explaining how a childhood accident left him looking odd and feeling "embarrassed". The reclusive rocker agreed to talk candidly to writer Mark Spitz for his new biography, "Bowie", and revealed the real story behind his famous eyes.

The "Let's Dance" hit-maker says, "When I was 14 I fell in love with a girl. I was crazy about her. Only trouble was, my best mate had a bit of a soft spot for her too, but I was the winner. I moved in before he'd even made up his mind about how to approach her. Next day I was at school boasting to my mate...

There are a lot of modern movies that love to give little winks at the audience, and one of the easiest ways to do that is through the use of cameo appearances. A cameo is when a well known celebrity or important person shows up for a brief appearance in a movie. It can be a non-speaking random role, or perhaps a whole scene that steals the show. Whatever the case may be, oftentimes in a film the cameo ends up being the most memorable part of the whole movie. Take "Zombieland" for example, out in theaters now, but there's no spoilers here. Just go see the film and you'll see. Here's a look ...

Scott Porter, who stars in the upcoming film "Bandslam" (opening Friday, August 14) joins us to discuss his character, Ben Wheatly, whose musical inspiration seems to stem from a slight misinterpretation of Bruce Springsteen songs. We also catch up on what Jason Street -- Scott's character from "Friday Night Lights" -- is up to these days (not to mention we discover, in a pretty traumatic way, Scott knows a thing or two about football himself), the story behind his duet with Hugh Grant in the "Pop Goes My Heart" video from "Music and Lyrics" and why every character he plays seems to wind up...

Vanessa Anne Hudgens and Aly Michalka join Gaelan Connell, Scott Porter, and Lisa Kudrow in the music-driven comedy "Bandslam". When gifted singer-songwriter Charlotte Banks (Michalka) asks new kid in town Will Burton (Connell) to manage her fledgling rock band, she appears to have just one goal in mind: go head-to-head against her egotistical musician ex-boyfriend, Ben (Porter), at the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands.

Amid the summer movie madness - heavy on special effects and light on storytelling - Moon is ready to offer audience members a healthy dose of reality. But there's one catch: Moon is a science-fiction flick, which makes that previous statement a bit of an oxymoron.

Director Duncan Jones, son of music icon David Bowie and self-described sci-fi geek, set out to create a sort of throwback to earlier sci-fi films like Blade Runner and Outlander, which didn't revolve around mystifying movie-goers with scene after scene of gaudy special effects.

"There are unquestionably less of those kind ...

David Bowie's son Duncan Jones is wowing film critics with his directorial debut - a tense space drama called Moon. The film, starring Sam Rockwell as a lonely astronaut mining helium on the far side of the moon, doesn't hit cinemas until the end of June but reviewers are already raving about the moviemaker's talents.

Jones, who was born Zowie Bowie, also adapted the film's complex script from Nathan Parker's screenplay.

Rolling Stone reporter Claire Hoffman insists the director has "gone against the grain of sad celebrity spawn - he has made a great film."

She adds, "With it...

So, have you seen this year's comedy about an overweight, overzealous, loser-y mall cop who takes his job way too seriously and is hopelessly in love with a fellow shopping center employee? If you're not sure whether I'm referring to January's hit Paul Blart: Mall Cop or the newest Seth Rogen comedy Observe and Report (in theaters now), don't be too hard on yourself: Both flicks have eerily similar plotlines. This isn't the first time two films with the same subject matter have been released within a year of one another; Hollywood has a talent for redundancy (see: recycling and ripping off)...

David Bowie's supermodel wife Iman struggled for years to feel at home in the U.S. - until New York city was devastated by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The Somalian-born beauty came to America in 1975 after she was spotted by U.S. photographer Peter Beard, and landed her first modeling job with Vogue magazine. As an in-demand face throughout the last three decades, Iman stayed in the country, and was eventually granted American citizenship.

However she admits she never like she belonged in the U.S., or her adopted city of New York, until it came under attack in 2001 - and her loc...
