‘Live Free or Die Hard’ Director a Good Choice To Helm ‘Gears of War’ Movie?
It’s been reported that “Live Free or Die Hard” director Len Wisemen will be the Hollywood force responsible for taking “Gears of War” to the big screen. Josh Horowitz over at the MTV Movies Blog recently weighed in on the decision to hire Wisemen, comparing his pre-”Die Hard” films to the works of action director Stephen Sommers. Since Josh asked us to weigh in, we’re going to do just that. Not only were Sommers’ own “The Mummy” films decent big-budget B-movies, I respectfully d

Tom Brady to Bare it All?
Apparently Calvin Klein has put a 7-figure deal on the table for Tom Brady to drop his pants. If he plans to keep having babies at his current rate, we'd say grab it!

Len Wiseman to Direct Gears of War
Last year it was reported that Live Free or Die Hard director Len Wiseman was in talks with New Line to develop and direct a big screen adaptation of the popular X-Box 360 video game Gears of War.

Wiseman will develop the story with Chris Morgan, whose credits include Wanted and Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. I know, not a hugely promising resume. P

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy to top line 'The Boat That Rocked'
Philip Seymour Hoffman is trading the schlubby suits he sported in Charlie Wilson's War for some groovy new duds: He's in negotiations to play the role of irreverent, iconic DJ The Count in writer/director Richard Curtis's (Bridget Jones's Diary) The Boat That Rocked. The film recounts the true story of a British pirate radio station that operated from a boat in the North Sea when the BBC was only broadcasting two hours of pop music each week in the '60s. Other Rocked stars include Bill Nighy, Kenneth Brana

In the upcoming movie Valkyrie, directed by Singer, Cruise will play Claus Von Stauffenberg, a key player in a failed (obviously) attempt to assasinate the Fuhrer. Empire has three exclusive images from that film. The film also stars Bill Nighy, Kenneth Brannagh, Terrence Stamp, Carice van Houten and Eddie Izzard. These images and more appear in the new issue

Sienna Miller straps on the leather for gun-toting GI Joe role.. but it's not the most original look
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and it appears Sienna Miller may be taking inspiration from Kate Beckinsale's vampire warrior in Underworld for her latest film role. The svelte blonde channels the spirits of Kate's character Selene and Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft as she bulks up the play villainess The Baroness in the live action adaptation of the popular American comic and toy series. Dressed head to toe in black leather and brandishing two large handguns, Sienna's new look is

TELLY Heroes beauty Hayden Panettiere has claimed she would happily bed Angelina Jolie. The 18-year-old — who plays indestructible Claire Bennet in the BBC2 sci-fi hit — has been dogged by rumours she is a lesbian. She said: “That’s fine with me. If I’m going to be linked with someone, I could do an affair with Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba or Charlize Theron. “And Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous. There are so many beautiful girls.”

'I'm too good at sex to cook'
Kate Beckinsale has offered an unusual excuse for her poor performance in the kitchen – she’s too damn good in bed. The tasty actress has given up on trying to create tantalising culinary treats because she believes people are divided into two groups – those who are geniuses with a whisk and those who are earth-shattering lovers in the sack. And Kate has proudly announced she falls firmly into the latter group, which must surely keep her largely takeaway-fed husband LEN WISEMAN a happy man in

Kate Beckinsale thinks she has a fat ass, but she obviously hasn't seen these Kim Kardashian bikini pictures. These shots were also staged in Monte Carlo with Kim's sister Kourtney, like that last set of Kim Kardashian bikini pictures, but it just seems like her ass keeps growing. I'm just afraid that if it gets any bigger, it'll start affecting the tides.
