Kristen Stewart ‘didn’t want to celebrate her 21st’
Kristen Stewart wouldn’t have celebrated her 21st birthday if she’d had her own way. Her Twilight co-stars turned the Breaking Dawn wrap party into a birthday celebration for the famously shy actress although she insisted that she didn’t want the occasion to be about her. Julia Jones, who plays Leah in the vampire franchise, told E! Online, “There was a huge cake for her, but she didn’t want it to be about her birthday – she wanted it to be about the wrap party, so they didn’t bring it out. “At a certain point, myself and a few other people were like, ‘Wait a minute. Where is Kristen’s cake?’ We went back into the kitchen and demanded they bring the cake out. It was quite a scene.” But Stewart, who is dating her on-screen love Robert Pattinson, finally allowed herself to be the centre of attention “She was totally fine,” Jones said. “But I understand, because the wrap party was a big deal. I’m very shy about my birthday also. You don’t want any more attention.”

Brad Pitt to star in slave film?
Hollywood star Brad Pitt is reportedly set to appear alongside Michael Fassbender and Chiwetel Ejiofor in director Steve McQueen’s story of a freed black man who was tricked into slavery. Twelve Years A Slave is based on Solomon Northup’s 1853 autobiography, according to Screen Daily. The 47-year-old Tree of Life actor is producing the movie through his Plan B production company, and has been developing the project for years, but it’s not yet known what role he will take. The film will tell the story of Northup, who was married and living in New York when he was lured to Washington by a job offer only to be kidnapped and put in a slave pen. This led to years of enslavement under several different owners before a white Canadian carpenter who opposed slavery smuggled letters to his wife, which helped launch a court case that eventually led to his freedom.

Busy Philipps finds motherhood relaxing
I Don’t Know How She Does It star Busy Philipps said she finds motherhood relaxing. The 32-year-old actress is mum to daughter Birdie Leigh, three, and said she has changed since becoming a mum. She said to Parenting magazine: “I used to care a lot about what I looked like in public or what people thought of me. I care at least 40 per cent less now.” She added: “I want Bird to see her mom as a woman who is confident and real; not someone who’s always trying too hard. “I still like to dress up and get fancy from time to time, but it’s okay to be sweaty and without makeup at the grocery store… “The bigger part, to me, is being Birdie’s mum, Marc [Silverstein's] wife, and how I’ve worked very hard to grow the past 10 or so years.”

Kate Bosworth stars in short film for French fashion label
Actress Kate Bosworth looks pale and mysterious in a new short film directed by Stephanie Di Gusto. In the slightly spooky movie shot for French fashion brand Vanessa Bruno, The Horse Whisperer star cartwheels onto the set and stands with a white horse. Bruno, who started her eponymous brand 15 years ago, says the Blue Crush star was the natural choice to be the new face of the fashion label. “Kate has the style of a Parisienne without being from Paris,” the 39-year-old designer told Style magazine. “She’s a true free spirit, does her own thing, makes her own decisions, exactly the aesthetic of the label.” “When we first met, we clicked so much, it was as though we already knew each other,” she added. The film sees Bosworth, 28, modelling mini-skirts and chunky knitwear for the autumn/winter campaign as she back-flips across a stark white background and gallops across the Norwegian landscape on a horse. Bosworth, who is currently starring in a remake of the 1970s thriller Straw Dogs, revealed that she suffered terribly after splitting from actor Orlando Bloom. She is now dating 41-year-old film director Michael Polish. “I definitely know the meaning of pain,” she told the magazine. “You know when you put all your chips into something and then it disappears? It sent me into such pain. I think I had actual vertigo.” She added: “I was like, ‘Is this my new reality?’ Will anything be normal again? Then, one day, you wake up and you think, ‘OK, I’ll never be the same, but I’ll survive and I’ll grow from it’.”

Orlando told British newspaper The Sun: “There’s no time for anything other than what you feel really is important. Everything comes into focus. There was all that other nonsense you used to spend time worrying about, then, hang on a second, I’ve got this three-hour block here before I’m going to get baby puke on me. What am I going to do with that?” Bloom took a short break from acting to spend time with his expanding family. And he says they have given him a new zest for his screen work.

Eva Longoria: ‘I’m a big Obama supporter’
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has said she is a big fan of US President Barack Obama, no matter what he’s been through. In an appearance on US chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, the brunette beauty discussed her recent dinner with Obama at a fundraiser, and how she feels about what he’s done over the past two-and-a-half years. She said: “It’s a special privilege to meet our commander-in-chief, I’m a big Obama supporter no matter what he’s been through – he’s been beaten up the past couple of years.” Eva said he has always been receptive to her as she’s been ‘a big advocate for Latino issues.’ Longoria added that he: “keeps getting beat up lately because there’s such an extremist movement happening, and for me, it’s very dangerous because its not the character of America.” The actress continued to say that he has been governing in a state of emergency since he took office and she believes that we haven’t really seen him get a chance to show what he can do.
