Upcoming movie "Ocean's Thirteen" and other Hollywood movie news :
'Ocean's Thirteen' will be the last, says Clooney
London, Dec 17 Hollywood actor George Clooney says that his
upcoming movie "Ocean's Thirteen" will be the last installment
in the series because he wants to end the franchise on a high
note.
Despite an all-star cast including Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt
Damon, the series didn't get the same critical acclaim as the
first film, a remake of the 1960 film "Ocean's Eleven" starring
Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. But Clooney insists the story
needs to be finished, reports contactmusic.com.
He says: "We didn't want to go out getting socked in the chin.
There was a reason to do it, which is revenge. After that
there's no reason to come back and do another one."
However, Clooney hasn't banished the idea of making another
Ocean's film altogether.
He adds: "Who knows? Maybe 10 years from now I'll need a job and
take it, but right now we don't plan on it."
Spears to be Hilton's matron of honour
New York, Dec 17 Socialite Paris Hilton is planning to
marry on-and-off boyfriend Stavros Niarchos and says
Britney Spears will be her matron of honour.
Hilton made the confession during an interview with a
British newspaper.
Hollywood.com quoted Hilton as saying: "It's true. I am
going to get married. I want a fairytale wedding and
Britney's going to be my matron of honor. She can advise
me."
Hilton and Spears have recently formed a close friendship
and have frequently been seen out partying together, since
Spears split from husband Kevin Federline in Nov.

London, Dec 17 Veteran actress Joan Collins encountered a
real life terror while Christmas shopping in Harrods, a
posh London department store, when a suspected thief
pulled out a gun.
However, the 73-year-old actress kept her cool while
security guards dealt with the incident.
Contactmusic.com quoted an onlooker as saying: "Joan was
famous for roles as ice-cool beauties. Her characters
would have been proud of the way she conducted herself
today."
Harrods spokesman said: "The man produced threatened the
guard before fleeing. There was a chase down neighbouring
roads where one security officer was joined by two
others." The man surrendered 30 minutes later.

Gibson sympathises with Spears
New York, Dec 17 Actor-director Mel Gibson feels sorry for
diva Britney Spears and has offered his support as she
fights media reports about her wild partying ways and lack
of underwear.
Gibson, lambasted by media in July when he was arrested
for drunk driving and unleashing an anti-Semitic rant at
the Jewish officer who pulled him over, says he can
sympathise with Spears, reports hollywood.com.
He says: "I feel compassion for someone like Britney, for
instance. She never gets a moment. She's, like, dogged all
the time and followed and she's trying to have a life.

her core, she's a good woman."

Playing Lawrence was thirsty work for O'Toole
London, Dec 18 Legendary actor Peter O'Toole says he still
gets thirsty when he thinks of his classic film "Lawrence
of Arabia" set in the vast deserts of Arabia.
O'Toole confesses that the desert scenes proved to be
tough shoots and that it was really as hot as it seemed in
the film, reports contactmusic.com.
In recalling, he said: "You would need 16 pints of water
per day to stay alive. We all lived on salt pills, which
are the worst things in the world for you. When you get
the shakes, somehow you get a pot of water and you put a
spoonful of salt in it and stir it.
"If you can taste the salt you don't need it. If you can't
taste the salt you have got about 10 minutes before you
dry out and then you start bloating and you are gone."

Beach grateful to Depp for inspiration
London, Dec 18 Actor Adam Beach, who stars in "Flags of
our Fathers", is grateful to Johnny Depp for inspiring him
to give up a life of crime and take up acting.
Beach took up crime when both his parents died within a
two-week period. He was just eight-years-old. It was when
he saw an episode of the TV show "21 Jump Street", which
starred Depp, that Beach realised that he could have a
better life.
Contactmusic.com quoted him as saying: "I started watching
Johnny Depp. I know he's affected a lot of people, but he
really changed my life because I was in the whole gang
scene, I was a statistic... and here I saw a man
performing these great characters in high school. I wanted
to be those different characters. I wanted to run away
from who I was."

'Aplha Dog' left Timberlake breathless
London, Dec 18 Singer Justin Timberlake was fit to drop
when he worked in the new movie "Aplha Dog" after having
to go through a rigorous boot camp.
Timberlake and his friends were playing druggies and thugs
but director Nick Cassavetes wanted them all to look fit.
So a rigorous work out regime was imposed, reports
contactmusic.com.
Timberlake says: "That's where we found a chemistry with
all of us. We literally went through what hockey players
go through to train. It was hours and hours of
weightlifting. It was six days a week.
"On week days we would work out for about three hours from
nine to noon. We would all meet at this one place and
sometimes we work out down in Venice, California.
"We would run the stairs in Santa Monica, California. We
would run the beach. We'd do drills on the beach. On
Saturday we would box. It was pretty intense training.
I've toured since I was 14 years old and I've never done
anything as physically taxing as this."
