Tinkerbell Beats Out Tarzan's Chimp for Hollywood Star
Originally posted 06/20/2008 02:15PM
Tinkerbell has topped more than 200 applicants – including Tarzan's faithful companion, Cheetah – for a star on Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame.
"There was a big campaign for Cheetah but it just didn't happen," a spokesperson for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce tells PEOPLE. "He is welcome to apply again next year."
Peter Pan's pixie pal becomes the fifth animated character to earn a place on the city sidewalk, joining such fellow Disney all-stars as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh and Snow White.
Other 2009 inductees will include Hugh Jackman, Cameron Diaz, Ralph Fiennes and the Village People.

Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman to Woo Tourists Down Under
Originally posted 06/17/2008 03:15PM
Just as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has sent American tourists flocking to the Peruvian jungle – well, maybe not – so are hopes flying that the upcoming Nicole Kidman-Hugh Jackman movie epic Australia will lure tourists Down Under once it is released this November.
"This movie will potentially be seen by tens of millions of people, and it will bring to life little-known aspects of Australia's extraordinary natural environment, history, and indigenous culture," says the country's Tourism Minister Martin Ferguson – joining those who foresee a new jumpstart to an Australian tourism that has stagnated since the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the Associated Press reports.
Such movie magic has happened before: witness Crocodile Dundee, in 1986.
Reuniting Kidman with her 2001 Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann, the $122-million Australia is described as a sweeping story about an English aristocrat (Kidman) who before the start of WWII inherits a sprawling property and falls in love with a rugged cattle drover (Jackman).

Hugh Jackman Gives Scarlett & Ryan His Blessing
Originally posted 04/22/2008 05:30PM
Hugh Jackman is protective over his former costar Scarlett Johansson – but says she has a good man in his X-Men colleague Ryan Reynolds.
"Ryan Reynolds is one of the funniest guys I've ever met," Wolverine's alter ego, currently promoting his new movie Deception, tells Entertainment Tonight Canada.
Adds Jackman: "And umm, we had a really good chat about his girlfriend, because I'm very fond of Scarlett, and both my wife [Deborra-Lee Furness] and I are very [proprietary] about Scarlett, [and] he got a big thumbs up from me."

It's Naomi, Sabretooth, Wolverine ... and Baby!
Originally posted 02/22/2008 02:35PM
Little baby Alexander is still a few years away from growing mutton chop sideburns – but we're pretty sure that one day he'll look as good as his dad. Liev Schreiber and Hugh Jackman sported their fresh facial hair (for their roles in the new X-Men movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) as Jackman happily greeted Schreiber, Naomi Watts and the couple's 7-month-old baby on Friday in Sydney.
Watts and Jackman, of course, both hail from Australia, while Schreiber and Jackman costar in the upcoming Marvel Comics film as Sabretooth and Wolverine, respectively. The movie, due out in May 2009, also features Ryan Reynolds, the Black Eye Peas' will.i.am and Friday Night Lights hunk Taylor Kitsch.

Hugh Jackman, sunning himself as the family fun continued at Australia's Bondi Beach. The actor had a date with wife Deborra-Lee Furness and his two children, Oscar, 6, and Ava, 22 months. Jackman could probably use the R&R: He's been busy filming Baz Luhrmann's new epic Australia with fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman.
