Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Movie Stars
One of the most anticipated movies of the upcoming fall season is “Australia,” Baz Luhrmann’s epic mash note to his home country, which stars Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman as Outback lovers.
Kidman, more than anyone, is likely hoping it’s a hit. Despite winning an Oscar for her performance in 2002’s “The Hours,” Kidman has become the most overpaid celebrity in Hollywood.
Forbes looked at each star’s last three films that opened wide before Jan. 1 (in order
Steamy New Photo From Baz Luhrmann's 'Australia'
''It's romantic, adventurous, and huge in scale,'' says Hugh Jackman of Baz Luhrmann's WWII-era epic Australia (out Nov. 14). Jackman stars as a rough-hewn Aussie cowboy who falls for a prim Englishwoman (Nicole Kidman) while helping her reclaim her dead husband's cattle farm.

Drama
It's the end of the world as we know it in "The Road" (Nov. 21), an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer-winning, Oprah-endorsed novel of a man (Viggo Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) surviving in post-apocalyptic America. Another form of apocalypse - a worldwide epidemic of "Blindness" (Oct. 10) - leaves Julianne Moo
David Beckham has the best abs in Hollywood

The star of “Lipstick Jungle” Robert Buckley was ranked second where as Mario Lopez who starred in “Danci
Is Hollywood Lacking In "Manly" Men? [Gender Benders]
Are there any tough guys left in America? Over on Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch Blog, Mandi Bierly links to a piece in Variety written by Anne Thompson, in which Thompson asks, "Where have the manly movie stars gone?" She claims the Hollywood machine has churned out nothing but boy-men. Johnny Depp? "Fey." Brendan Fraser? "Goofy." Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise? Just not macho enough! When a studio wants a real manly type, they turn to the UK, Australia or Europe: Christian Bale, Gerard Butler, Hugh Jackman
Comic-Con Crazy: Keanu Reeves Stares Into Space; Paris Hilton's Vast Vocabulary
Everyone from Paris Hilton to Guy Ritchie to Hugh Jackman to The Rock descended upon the San Diego convention center on Thursday for the world's largest comic book convention: Comic-Con.
While the streets were lined with thousands of Batmen, Wonder Women and anime creatures, the biggest surprise was a very hairy and well-built Jackman, who gave a sneak peek at "Wolverine," which only wrapped filming in Australia less than two weeks ago.
FOXNews.com's Pop Tarts column also had a quick chat with Jennife
Who Will Be Cast In The New Ghostbusters Movie?
Well, it's official: Production has begun on a Ghostbusters Threequel, precise title as yet unknown. Columbia pictures has put Office Co-Executive Producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to the task of writing the latest installment, almost 25 years after the original hit the theaters. Which leads one to wonder: Who, prey tell, will be chosen to play our beloved Ghostbusters and company?
So without further ado, in the order they are listed on IMDB, here are BWE's Ghostbuster 3 Casting Predicitions:
Lynn Collins On Being The Silver Fox To Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine In ‘X-Men: Origins’
Actress Lynn Collins recently told MTV News that playing Marvel mutant Silver Fox in the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” not only allowed her to embrace her Native American roots, but also brought her very close to star Hugh Jackman.
“We’re lovers,” said Collins of her character’s relationship to Wolverine.
In Marvel Comics history, Silver Fox was a former love of Wolverine, and the pair lived together in the Canadian wilderness during the late-1900s before a series
FOX has no Mojo and still plans to bring us more X-Men, Deadpool, and Daredevil
Twentieth Century Fox has not been doing to well lately. The summer movies did horrible at the box office! Maybe because they all sucked ass. Lets take a look at the movies that they released this summer.
‘The Happening’, ‘Space Chimps’, ‘Mirrors’, ‘Babylon A.D.’, ‘The Rocker’, ‘X-Files’, and ‘Vegas’.
I myself only saw three out of these 5 films. ‘The Happening’ which I can’t believe Fox did. I want to know who at the studio read the sc
Can Superheroes Save 20th Century Fox From Itself?
Fox has not had a good year -- and as with most drama-filled issues, they really have only themselves to blame. Variety points out that they were the only studio this summer that didn't have a $100 million domestic earner. What they did have was a lot of widely-derided flops like The Happening, Space Chimps, and Meet Dave. They also had films that might have done well, had they chosen to actually sell them, like The X-Files: I Want to Believe. They were also dealt a bit of bad luck when it came to X-Men Or
"Australia" to Top "Titanic"?
Marcos Oliveira, head of 20th Century Fox in Australia, told the Sydney Morning Herald that he believes the upcoming Australia, starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman and directed by Baz Luhrmann will become “the biggest [film] of all time” in that country.
That’s saying a lot, since Titanic came out of that studio, as well.
Further fueling my interest in this film is Jackman’s comment at the Australian International Movie Convention. He called his part in the film “the rol

Wolverine Unveiled
One of the biggest surprises today at Comic Con came at the end of the Fox panel when, unscheduled, a very special guest appeared. Coming straight from filming in Australia, Hugh Jackman leapt onstage to introduce the first footage from Gavin Hood’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Needless to say the crowd went absolutely mental.
What was shown was a sizzle reel of footage that will likely form the basis of the first trailer. Action-packed isn’t even the word for it and several scenes, including appearanc

‘Australia’ Delayed
The film was originally set for release on November 14th, but now they’re moving it to November 26th, five days after Harry Potter would have debuted on the 21st, had it not been moved. Without the Potter juggernaut to steal your cash, Australia doesn’t have to worry about trying to get its share before Potter hits theaters. It’ll be easier fending off Bolt and Twilight, which are now opening on the 21st instead.
Makes sense, Potter is such a huge movie, all the others need to scoop up the
Fox moves 'Australia' release back

Saga of an English woman (Nicole Kidman) who comes to remote Australia and falls for a rugged cattle driver (Hugh Jackman) is set against the backdrop of WWII.
