Mickey Rourke: 'I Never Took Steroids'
Mickey Rourke has hit back at reports he took steroids in a bid to get in shape for gritty new movie the Wrestler, insisting the media has gone too far with comments he made in a magazine interview. The Golden Globe winner hinted at the fact he'd taken steroids to bulk up for his role as battered fighter Randy 'The Ram' Robinson in a recent interview with U.S. magazine Men's Journal.

Watchmen’s Malin Akerman
I find Malin Akerman super engaging on screen. She radiates sunshine even as she is playing the bratty, messed up girl in some of her films.

There's nothing I hate more than when you wait for a DVD because you know the extra features are going to be great, and then when you get it, it's like the French language track, trailers, and a commentary by an associate producer and a

Who Mocked My Frocks?
Is Blake Lively's wardrobe full of clanger couture? The Gossip Girl star reckons at school people were "downright mean" and made fun of her clothes. So let's check out Blake's fashion over time to see if she gets a fashion tick or a cross. First up is her recent Golden Globes frock.
