Amy Adams cries over Philip Seymour Hoffman


Amy Adams broke down in tears when asked about Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The 39-year-old 'American Hustle' actress, who co-starred with the late actor in 'The Master' in 2012 and 'Doubt' in 2008, started sobbing and struggled to speak while filming an appearance on 'Inside the Actors Studio' in New York City on Wednesday (05.02.14).
A source told UsMagazine.com: "(The show's host) James Lipton asked her about working with Philip on 'Doubt' and 'The Master.' It hit a nerve with her. [Adams] was sobbing and couldn't finish most of her sentences."
The insider added: "Amy talked about how he was the greatest actor she had worked with, and couldn't even tell stories about him without crying. She said to the audience of acting students 'I wish you all could have had the chance to work with him.' "
The interview will air on Bravo in the US on February 19.
Amy signed on to star in 'Ezekiel Moss,' the follow-up to Philip's 2010 directorial debut, 'Jack Goes Boating,' alongside Jake Gyllenhaal just last week.
The 'Capote' star was found dead in his apartment in the West Village in New York on Sunday (02.02.14) from an apparent heroin overdose.
A private wake for the 46-year-old Oscar-winner, who sought treatment in rehab in May 2013 after 23 years of sobriety, is set to take place at Frank E. Campbell Funeral home in Manhattan today (06.02.14) ahead of his funeral at Loyola Roman Catholic Church on Friday morning (07.02.14).

Sarah Hyland feels sorry for her Hollywood peers


Sarah Hyland thinks it's "sad" that so many young Hollywood stars need rehab.
The 'Modern Family' actress, who plays Haley Dunphy in the comedy series, has no desire to be seen as a party girl and thinks a lot of her peers, such as Justin Bieber, Lindsay Lohan and Selena Gomez, are really in "pain."
The 23-year-old star told VanityFair.com: "It makes me really upset when I see stuff like that, because these people are talented. It's not like they're just kids who have a lot of money and are f**king up. So when I see people who are so talented get themselves into D.U.I.s or rehab or anything like that, it just makes me sad because you can tell that they're really in pain; there's something wrong. It's a sad situation because they have all this talent and success, but something's not there, something's missing - so they replace it with drugs, or alcohol, or sex."
The brunette beauty would rather be known for her acting than her personal life.
She said: "I don't like the F word and I don't like the C word. I like the real F word and C word, but I don't like 'famous' and I don't like 'celebrity.'
"I'm not dying to be in that ['Young Hollywood'] group, but if people put me in it, I'm really flattered. I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous."

Nick Frost put his back out salsa dancing


Nick Frost "put his back out" while salsa dancing.
The 41-year-old actor injured himself "very badly" while filming a dance-off with Chris O'Dowd for their new romantic comedy, 'Cuban Fury.'
Speaking at the UK premiere of the film at the Vue Cinema in London's Leicester Square tonight (06.02.14), director James Griffiths told BANG Showbiz: "Nick injured himself very badly actually during the rooftop dance. We had to go back and film some elements. We had some wires when he catches Chris O'Dowd and I remember it, he sort of throws Chris down in the air and catches him and Nick, in true style, very gritty, caught him for real. He put his back out. So the next day was a bit of a panic. He had a lot of massages and a lot of oils. I think he quite enjoyed it."
Nick, who conceived the film, and Irish actor Chris attended the premiere alongside their co-stars Rashida Jones, Olivia Colman and Kayvan Novak, as well as singer Paloma Faith.
Other stars on the red carpet included Lake Bell and Simon Pegg, who are currently filming the movie 'Man Up' together in London.
The film hits cinemas in the UK on February 14.

Cate Blanchett clears schedule to grieve


Cate Blanchett cleared her schedule following the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The 'Blue Jasmine' star, who was spotted visiting the late actor's ex-partner, Mimi O'Donnell, with toys for their three children, Cooper, 10, Tallulah, seven, and Willa, five, at their home in New York City on Monday (03.02.14), cancelled a string of appearances to take a few days off to grieve for her close friend.
A spokesperson for the 44-year-old Australian actress told The Hollywood Reporter that her team made the decision to postpone interviews on 'Good Morning America' and 'Live! With Kelly and Michael' to promote her new film, 'The Monuments Men,' on Wednesday (05.02.14) "to allow Cate the time and privacy to grieve the loss of her friend Philip Seymour Hoffman."
The Oscar-nominee formed a close friendship with the 46-year-old actor, who was found dead in his apartment from an apparent heroin overdose on Sunday (02.02.14), while starring alongside him in 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' in 1999.
The actress, who is expected to attend the official Oscar nominees luncheon in Beverly Hills on Monday (10.02.14), has had a stressful few days as she was also called out in Dylan Farrow's open letter on Saturday (01.02.14), in which the 28 year old accused her father, Woody Allen, of sexually abusing her at the age of seven.
Challenging some of the stars of her father's films for working with him, Dylan wrote: "What if it had been your child, Cate Blanchett?"
The 'Lord of the Rings' star attempted to distance herself from the scandal over the weekend and said: "It's obviously been a long and painful situation for the family. I hope they find some resolution and peace."

George Clooney is planning ‘dirty’ prank


George Clooney is planning to pull another "downright dirty" prank on Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
'The Monuments Men' star is eager to get back at the comediennes for jokingly describing the movie 'Gravity,' in which he stars alongside Sandra Bullock, as "the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age," when they hosted the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles last month.
The 52-year-old star actor, who already forged an angry letter from his co-star Matt Damon, without his knowledge, and sent it to Tina, is planning something much bigger as the former '30 Rock' star urged him to "step it the f**k up" but isn't sure he has the guts to pull it off.
He told 'Entertainment Weekly Radio' on Sirius XM in a new interview that will air on Friday (07.02.14): "[They] said step it up. That's the appetizer and what's coming now, the main course, is pretty brutal."
He added: "This one is one that I have it in my hotel room set -- taking pictures and stuff -- I'm sitting there like, 'If I do this, this is downright dirty.' I have to think if I'm actually going to do it or not."
Matt, 43, revealed during an interview on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' on Wednesday (05.02.14) that he only found out about George's prank letter when he received an apology letter from Tina and Amy with two fruit baskets.

Charlie Sheen threatens Ashton Kutcher


Charlie Sheen threatened to put Ashton Kutcher in the hospital shortly after apologising to him.
The 48-year-old actor reached out to the 'Two and a Half Men' star, who replaced him when Charlie was fired from the show over his erratic behaviour in 2010, after the 35-year-old star called him out for repeatedly bashing his performance in the CBS comedy on Twitter.
The 'Anger Management' star promised to stop berating his successor after Ashton blasted him during an interview on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on Wednesday night (05.02.14), saying: "Dude, shut the f**k up! Enough already. It's three years later and you're still blowing me up on Twitter. Come on dude, really?"
Charlie took to Twitter this morning (06.02.14) to apologise for his bitter attitude.
He tweeted: "Ashton, message received. so sorry, u sounded like me! well done! my bad I was pissed at other crap & took it out on you. hope u r good xox c. (sic)"
But he minutes later, he added: "but news flash Dood, you ever tell me to shut the F*** up, EVER again, and I'll put you on a hospital food diet for a year. c #YaFeelMe Jr?"
Charlie regularly sends Ashton public messages on Twitter, calling him "lame."
Praising his former co-star Jon Cryer in a series of tweets last year, he wrote: "hey Jon!!! u r a GENIUS!!! I effin love and MISS YOU old pal! Q; who's your lame side-kik? c #NiceTryCanonBoy #CH (sic)"
He later added: "hey relax everyone! read the hash tag! oh and Jon I'm so sorry I insulted your sidekik I meant REALLY lame c (sic)"
In another attack on the former 'Punk'd' star, he wrote: "hey Ashton sorry bro all good. now quit barfing on my old brilliant show. Remember Punk'd? how duz it feel? c harp (sic)"

Channing Tatum is ‘very fat and happy’


Channing Tatum is happy to have gained a lot of weight.
The 'Magic Mike' star, who is well known for his chiseled physique and was voted the Sexiest Man Alive in 2012, has stopped working out so he can spend more time with his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, and their eight-month-old daughter, Everly.
When teased about always being asked to take his clothes off, the 33-year-old actor told 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' today (06.02.14): "You definitely don't want that right now.
"Right now - what me and my wife [Jenna Dewan Tatum] like to call it, I am very 'fappy.' I'm very fat and happy right now ... I've been working for two straight years, and now it's some really needed downtime."
Channing is currently recording vocals for the upcoming animated movie, 'The Book of Life.'
The actor is glad to have more time to watch Everly develop.
He gushed: "Ah, man. She's 8 months old now. She's saying 'Da, da, da, da, da.' I don't think she knows what it means just yet, but it doesn't matter."
Jenna, 33, previously said that Everly is a huge fan of Drake and Channing admitted she is very picky when it comes to lullabies.
He said: "She actually has better taste in music than I think I do, because she will only fall asleep to really good music. She might be conceited, I'm not sure but ... Prince's 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,' she loves falling asleep to that."

Emma Watson is shy at parties


Emma Watson is "socially awkward".
The 23-year-old actress struggles in big crowds because she finds it difficult to chat to people and often escapes to the bathroom on the rare occasions she goes to parties.
She said: "I feel like I've been given a lot of credit where it isn't due that I don't like to party.
"The truth is that I'm genuinely a shy, socially awkward, introverted person. At a big party, I'm like Bambi in the headlights. It's too much stimulation for me, which is why I end up going to the bathroom! I need time outs!
"I get anxious. I'm terrible at small talk and I have a ridiculously short attention span."
In 2009, Emma enrolled in prestigious Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island but deferred her studies after 18 months because she was also working on the 'Harry Potter' film series.
Because of her hectic schedule, the 'Noah' star - who went on to study for a year at Oxford University in the UK before returning to Brown last year - has learned how to relax and appreciate she can't do everything.
Speaking to the new edition of Wonderland magazine - which she has guest edited - she said: "Now I really know how to take care of myself, how to be alone, how to deal with stress.
"If I hadn't been through that time, I wouldn't have got there. I never knew I had limits. You make good friends and you make bad friends, and you have to figure it all out.
"You realise you can't do everything. I really did think I could do it all - commute back to the UK for 'Potter' filming and press, then go to Brown for finals, and keep up with my friends and family. You can't do it, by the way. You do have to take breaks.
"It's how I became interested in meditation and yoga. I developed bedtime rituals."

Lady Gaga excited about space gig


Lady Gaga feels "honoured" to perform in space.
The 'Born this Way' hitmaker is set to sing outside of the Earth's atmosphere next year following the launch of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic commercial space flights - which will cost $250,000 per seat - and she is looking forward to using the opportunity to spread a "message of love".
She said: " I honestly can't wait [to perform in space]. I can't wait to design the performance.
"I'm auctioning off my second seat [on a Virgin Galactic flight] to raise money for the Born This Way Foundation. I want to make a moment that is about much more than me.
"Performing in space is such an honour. I want to challenge myself to come up with something that will not only bring everyone together but will also have a message of love that blasts into the beyond."
Because of her hectic schedule, the 27-year-old singer - who is in a relationship with actor Taylor Kinney - says she doesn't have a permanent home and mostly uses her New York apartment to keep her expensive belongings.
Asked where she calls home, she told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "My 'home' is a controversial topic. I don't exactly have one. I live all over the world. I keep a small rental in New York, where I hang many of my hats when I come to see my parents and New York pals. It's like a tiny jewel box, covered in rose-gold mirrors, with an oversize pink couch, an expensive vase, a white Marilyn piano, and a boudoir.
"I do not keep a lot of clothes here - mostly punk wear. And the three most expensive items I've ever purchased, including an actual house: my sable, a strand of diamonds, and my Mikimoto pearls."
