Emma Watson
To prepare for her role as a socialite in "The Bling Ring," Emma Watson watched several hours of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."

She explained, "I tried to understand the psychology of this kind of girl as much as possible. I didn't want her to be just a parody."

She added, "The accent was hard as it was a particular kind of dialect. I also thought a lot about what her parents must have been like."

The film, directed by Sofia Coppola, is based on a group of "Bling Ring" thieves who stole more than than $3 million worth of goods from the Hollywood homes of celebrities including Paris H...

Zoe Saldana
Actress Zoe Saldana says that she was shocked over the backlash from her recent Allure magazine photo shoot and interview -- not because she was naked in one of the shots and topless in another, but because the new issue features the headline, "Zoe Saldana: 115 pounds of grit and heartache" on its cover.

The Star Trek Into Darkness star has come to the defense of the magazine's editors, saying she isn't ashamed of her thin frame.

Readers expressed their concerns that sensationalizing Saldana's actual weight would be bad for young girls who are struggling with body image issues.

Emma Watson always hoped she'd never grow up. The star of upcoming film The Bling Ring, about a group of California teens who robbed the Hollywood homes of such stars as Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Orlando Bloom, is the cover girl -- er, woman -- of the June/July issue of W magazine; and she reveals that being sexy and moving on from her innocent Harry Potter years is something she never looked forward to.

"I've never wanted to grow up too fast," she says. "I wanted to wear a sports bra until I was 22! The allure of being sexy never really held any excitement for me. I've never been in...

In the video, LaBeouf's reported girlfriend Mia Goth plays a battered wife who takes revenge on her husband (Future Unlimited's David Miller) by poisoning his food.

Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie's bid to lower her risk of getting cancer isn't over yet. After undergoing a double mastectomy in February and reconstructive surgery last month, the star is planning another preventive surgery -- having her ovaries removed.

Jolie revealed that she underwent preventive surgery to decrease her chances of getting breast cancer from 87% to 5% in an editorial for the New York Times on Tuesday, but because she carries the "faulty" BRCA1 gene she's also at a high risk of developing ovarian cancer.

The 37-year-old currently has an estimated 50% chance of developing ovarian cancer,...
