Mara Wilson Lists Reasons Why Former Child Stars 'Go Crazy'
Originally posted 05/29/2013 12:30PM
Despite the history of former child stars having trouble transitioning into adulthood – as evidenced by Britney Spears's public meltdown in 2008, Lindsay Lohan's ongoing troubles, and, most recently, the upheavals taking place in the life of Amanda Bynes – former child star Mara Wilson said she "had a generally good experience" standing before the cameras in Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Miracle on 34th Street (1994) and Matilda (1996).
She also clearly developed a pro's perspective on what can happen as a child star matures – because she's now shared her thoughts in a breezy yet thoughtful essay on the Cracked.com humor site, titled "7 Reasons Child Stars Go Crazy."
In it, the 25-year-old gets a handle on why "not many child stars make it out of Hollywood alive or sane." She also sheds light on why "at any given time there are at least three former ones having very public breakdowns."

Jennifer Aniston Gets (Nearly) Naked as a Stripper in We're the Millers
Originally posted 05/23/2013 08:10AM
Playing a stripper at 44? No problem at all for Jennifer Aniston.
The actress isn't shy about showing off her famously sculpted body in the upcoming movie We're the Millers, playing a stripper opposite Jason Sudeikis's small-time drug dealer.
And all that work with yoga instructor Mandy Ingber continues to pay off, as Aniston puts on a show sans (most) clothes several times in the action comedy.

Christian Bale Is Bigger, Bald – and Barely Recognizable: PHOTO
Originally posted 05/22/2013 10:20AM
Batman, he ain't.
Christian Bale continues to be quite the physical chameleon. Seen walking through the airport in Los Angeles, Bale, 39 and nearly unrecognizable yet again, now sports a shaved head and retains some of the girth he has displayed in recent months – all for a new role, as a '70s con man turned FBI worker, in his latest film, American Hustle, about the ABSCAM sting.
His pale and paunchy look, with a groomed goatee and mustache, stands in stark contrast to his emaciated form in The Machinist, for which he subsisted on a diet of apples, cigarettes and coffee to shave 63 pounds, a third of his usual weight.

Ty Simpkins: 5 Things to Know About the Iron Man 3 Scene Stealer
Originally posted 05/16/2013 03:00PM
Ty Simpkins currently stars as the young boy who gives a helping hand – and a hard time – to Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark in Iron Man 3, but there is much more to the New York City native, who has been acting since he was 3 months old.
Simpkins, 11, has already starred on two different daytime soaps (One Life to Live and Guiding Light), worked with Oscar winner Kate Winslet on three movies (All the Kings Men, Little Children and Revolutionary Road) and become the face of a new horror franchise (Insidious and Insidious: Chapter 2, expected later this year).

Cannes Film Festival Kicks Off with Great Gatsby, Emma Watson & More Stars Expected This Week
Originally posted 05/15/2013 11:00AM
Under unseasonably cloudy skies and dodging a few raindrops, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire kicked off the 66th Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday just hours before walking the red carpet for their blockbuster film The Great Gatsby, which opened the star-studded 12-day extravaganza of movies and parties on the French Riviera.
"Every time I go to Cannes it feels like I'm entering the helicopter scene in La Dolce Vita; it's an insane experience," said DiCaprio, who posed for photos on the fabled Croisette next to his Gatsby costars.
Emma Watson, who stars in Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, premiering Thursday, was spotted among the early celebrity arrivals at Nice International Airport on Tuesday – along with Paris Hilton, Cannes jury member Nicole Kidman and British singer Florence Welch.

Business or pleasure?
Katie Holmes was photographed getting up close and personal with her costar on the set of her latest film, Mania Days, in New York on Tuesday.
Wearing long jean shorts cut just above the knee and a white T-shirt, Holmes, 34, laughed with Luke Kirby as the duo walked alongside each other in front of cast and crew.
In another shot, Holmes is snapped pressing her forehead to Kirby's in what seems to be an an intimate moment.
