Judi Dench gets Harvey Weinstein’s name tattooed on her butt


Harvey Weinstein has revealed Dame Judi Dench has had his name tattooed on her butt.
The 61-year-old film producer worked with Dench on 'Philomena' and as the pair caught up at the BAFTAs on Sunday night (16.02.14) the 79-year-old actress unveiled the body art, which she has had done as a permanent tribute to the film.
Dench showed off her intimate inking to Weinstein and Oprah Winfrey, who acted as a "witness" to prove the tattoo really does exist.
During an appearance on British talk show 'Lorraine', he revealed: 'Philomena' has done well and Dame Judi Dench has had another tattoo, seriously! She did a tattoo years ago and then she dumped me for Kevin Spacey then she dumped him for Johnny Depp and then dumped him for Daniel Craig but because 'Philomena' is doing so well I think she's trying to tell me that there's a chance. Last night, she showed me a tattoo with my name and she flashed Oprah Winfrey - it's on her butt! She is so naughty, and I'm not kidding. Oprah said, 'I'm the witness.' "
Weinstein insists the British Academy of Film and Television Awards, which were held at the Royal Opera House in London, are always a highlight of awards season, and that has a lot to do with host Stephen Fry.
The Weinstein Company founder - who was accompanied to the ceremony by his fashion designer wife Georgina Chapman - was thrilled that 'Philomena' won the Adapted Screenplay prize as he believes the BAFTAs are a good indicator as to what can happen at the Oscars, at which the movie is nominated in four categories.
He said: "First of all (with the BAFTAs) you have the secret weapon that's almost as good anything, anywhere, and that's Stephen Fry. He is the most articulate, funny and sarcastic man. Some of the things he gets away with, in America he'd be in jail for saying half that stuff. Literally the cops would arrest him on stage ... The BAFTAs are extremely important on the way to the Oscars because it all ends with The Oscars - which are the grandfather of all of this. But the British awards really point the way now ... It's all one road leading to the Oscars and this year it's going to be a tight race."

Johnny Depp receives make-up award


Johnny Depp has been honoured by the Make-Up and Hair Stylists Guild Awards.
The 50-year-old actor received the first-ever Distinguished Artisan award at the ceremony on Saturday (15.02.14) thanks to his appearance-altering roles in movies such as 'Edward Scissorhands', 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and joked about how "ridiculous" he has looked over the years.
After clips were shown of his work, he told the audience at Paramount Studios theatre in Los Angeles: "This is a great honour, but glancing up at the screen I realise what a ridiculous thing I've done.
"I mean seriously, why do they still give me jobs? I've done a lot of things...I should probably apologise for a few, but I won't."
The 'Lone Ranger' star went on to say how much he liked having his face moulded in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'.
He said:"I found, oddly, that I liked being encased in all of that stuff. I try something different each time as an actor with the amazing help of make-up artists who have made my whole career."
Among those also recognised at the awards - which returned after a 10-year hiatus - were the hair and make-up teams from 'Dallas Buyers Club', 'Behind the Candelabra', 'The Walking Dead', 'American Hustle' and 'Breaking Bad'.

Leonardo DiCaprio lucky to work with Martin Scorsese


Leonardo DiCaprio feels honoured to have worked with Martin Scorsese.
The 39-year-old actor was nominated for best actor at the BAFTAs last night (16.02.14) for his portrayal of Jordan Belfort in the Scorsese-directed film, 'The Wolf of Wall Street', and admits he feels lucky to have worked with the filmmaker on more than one occasion.
He said: "The truth is I was lucky enough to do one film with him and five is beyond my wildest dreams. He really has the finger on the pulse of our culture and he says something about humanity with his film-making."
The 'Titanic' star first worked with the renowned director on 'The Gangs of New York' followed by 'The Aviator', 'The Departed' and 'Shutter Island' but their relationship became even closer working on their latest project - which took them seven years to bring to the bring screen - but he wasn't expecting to be nominated for the award.
Speaking to E! on the red carpet at London's Royal Opera House, he said: "I don't predict any of these things and have no idea what's going to happen, but to be here with a film like this that takes a lot of chances is an amazing feeling. This is really the second film in my career I got behind and did everything to get made."
Leonardo was up against Tom Hanks for 'Captain Phillips', Christian Bale for 'American Hustle', Bruce Dern for 'Nebraska' and Chiwetel Ejiofor - who took home the coveted prize for his outstanding performance as Solomon Northup in '12 Years a Slave'.

Oprah Winfrey was stitched into BAFTA gown


Oprah Winfrey had to be sewn into her BAFTA Awards gown ahead of the ceremony last night (16.02.14).
The 60-year-old actress and talk show host struggled to get into her Stella McCartney dress before the annual event at London's Royal Opera House, where she was nominated for an award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 'Lee Daniels' The Butler'.
She posted a video on her Instagram account before walking the red carpet, showing two stylists trying to stitch her into the figure-hugging burgundy dress, which featured a huge bow and lace detail.
Oprah said: "It's an hour to go and this is Raj and Giuseppe who are literally stitching me into my gown ... Hello Stella McCartney!"
The star was up against Julia Roberts, Lupita Nyong'o, Sally Hawkins and Jennifer Lawrence in her category and lost out to Jennifer, 23, for her part in 'American Hustle', although she was unable to attend the event.
Though she didn't win, Oprah - who also presented the award for Outstanding British Film to 'Gravity' - was still delighted to be nominated for an award as she worried she would "embarrass herself" in the movie.
She said: "For someone who was trying not to embarrass myself, it is amazing.
"The best part is it is a jury of your peers. It's people who do this for a living - don't make me cry now! It's people who do this for a living saying, 'We're going to give you a vote. We think what you did deserves this.' "
'The Butler' is Oprah's third film, having starred in 1998's 'Beloved' and 1985's 'The Color Purple', which also saw her get an Oscar nomination.

Kylie Minogue doesn’t think she’ll get married


Kylie Minogue doesn't know if she'll ever get married.
The 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' hitmaker split from her boyfriend of five years Andrés Velencoso last year due to conflicting work commitments and, although she believes in the "power of love", she's not sure whether she'll ever settle down completely.
She said: "I'm a romantic and I love it, and when it happens I can definitely fall hard - you're in a spin arranging everything else so you can see that person.
"But it's not so much the picture frame with the perfect couple. I don't know if someone is gonna change all that, and I'll be walking down the aisle one day, but I've never really seen it."
The 45-year-old singer - whose Grandmother passed away last year - also admitted that work and family are the most important things in her life.
She told The Sunday Times newspaper's Style magazine: "I'm totally fluid. For me, love is the people I work with, it's my family."
The Australian star - who rose to fame on the soap 'Neighbours' - recently joined BBC One talent show 'The Voice' to judge aspiring pop stars alongside fellow mentors will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and the Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson.

Kanye West wants to teach Kendall and Kylie Jenner to rap.
The 'Bound 2' hitmaker is keen to turn his fiancée Kim Kardashian's half-sisters into pop stars and has even offered to fly them both out to the studio in Paris, France, to get working on the tracks he's already penned for them.
A source said: "Kanye has been gushing to pals that Kendall and Kylie are incredibly talented and says he can't wait to get working with them in the studio."

John Goodman wishes he was slimmer


John Goodman wishes he wasn't so fat.
'The Monuments Men' star has struggled with alcoholism and weight problems since the beginning of his career, and although he's noticeably slimmer now than he was when he starred in 'Roseanne' and even since appearing in 'Inside Llewyn Davis' last year, he still admits that he finds it difficult to watch himself on screen.
He explained: "I wish I wasn't as fat as I am. It just bothers me. When I saw a film in which I played Santa Claus recently, I walked away thinking, 'This is just God awful. I look terrible. I want to have my mouth sewn shut."
The 61-year-old actor also admitted that after watching his current film 'The Monuments Men' - in which he stars as Walter Garfield alongside heartthrobs George Clooney, Matt Damon and French actor Jean Dujardin - he realised he hadn't lost as much weight as he thought he had.
He added: "I was in pretty good shape when I got this role, but I thought I was doing better than I looked on screen. I thought I looked terrible."
Goodman has fond memories of his time on US sitcom 'Roseanne' with actress Roseanne Barr and admits the pair unsuccessfully tried to work together again recently and that he'd still like to reunite with her.
He told The Daily Telegraph newspaper's Review magazine: "I haven't spoken to Rose in a while. We tried to do a pilot together two years ago and NBC hated it, but goddamn we had fun ... I'd love to do something with Rose again."

Katy Perry has been spotted with a ring on her engagement finger.
The 'Roar' singer was pictured with partner John Mayer on Valentine's Day (14.02.14) sporting a ring on the third finger of her left hand, making many wonder if he had asked her to marry him.
The couple enjoyed a meal at Sunset Towers in Los Angeles on the romantic day before heading to a club to party.
A source told E! news despite the ring they are not engaged yet, but "they are really happy. They had the most amazing date night. They had a private booth at Bootsy Bellows and were very happy just to be together."
Another source told People.com Katy was sipping champagne in the club and at one point stood on a sofa at her table and dancing to Montel Jordan's party track 'This Is How We Do It'.
Superstition has already pointed to Katy - who was previously married to comedian Russell Brand, who she divorced in 2012 - and John marrying, after she caught one of the bouquets of flowers thrown by a couple married during Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' performance of 'Same Love' at the Grammy Awards. Tradition follows that the person who catches the bouquet will marry next.
Sources have also said John referred to Katy as his "wife" when they were on set for a joint TV appearance last year.
