Emma Bunton recently revealed that a new Spice Girls movie is coming out way. The film will be formatted similar to the hit ‘Mamma Mia!’ using the band’s songs as a soundtrack and is set to hit the silver screens in 2011. It will be produced by the same team who the group of singers signed with for the West End musical ‘Viva Forever’. Do people really believe that they’re still as relevant now as they were back then to merit another movie? What will this one be about? They can’t even get the girls to reunite to talk about making new music or going out on tour again. I doubt they can do so for a movie.
Eclipse star Kristen Stewart has said she was bullied at school for being an actress.
The 20 year-old, who plays Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga, admitted she was picked on after landing film roles at a young age.
She said to UK newspaper Daily Mirror: “I was happy to leave school at 14 and study on set, because it took a load of work off my shoulders. The fame and the pressure was taken off because they had been failing me in school.
“I was never the type of girl to walk around talking about being an actress, so I didn’t get a whole lot of s**t until someone found out. I was playing it down, but I definitely got: ‘Oh, she’s such a b****!’
“I was like: ‘You’ve never spoken to me, but you think I’m a b****? Great.’”
Is acting life too much for her? Can’t Mariah Carey carry on with her diva lifestyle while acting? Otherwise what would be the reason for the singer dropping out of her latest cinema role… especially since she’s so good at it? It looks like Mariah Carey has decided that she won’t be starring in Tyler Perry’s new film and her representative had only this to say about the sudden change of plans: “I’m not at liberty to discuss her personal life at this time.” This kind of concerns her professional life though. Still, it was really classy of Mariah Carey to give up just a month before the scheduled start to the filming… that way, the producers have ample time to find a replacement.
Bad Lieutenant star Eva Mendes said she gets ‘nervous’ when people call her a role model.
The 36-year-old actress stars opposite Nicolas Cage in the new movie and said she learns from her on-screen characters’ mistakes.
She said to UK newspaper Daily Mirror: “Oh yeah. When I mess up, I learn so much. That’s why I get nervous when people tell me I’m a role model. I go: ‘Why?’ I don’t know what that means.
“I’m so far from perfect, and I wouldn’t want to be. I have one policy in life, and that is to do no harm to others. If I hurt somebody’s feelings, I can’t live with myself.
“If I didn’t hold the door open for a little old lady, I’ll think about it later. I’m just like that.”

Actress Jennifer Aniston has said she is getting her ‘kid fix’ on set of new movie Just Go With It.
The 41-year-old might not have any children of her own but said her co-stars’ children were providing her with plenty of entertainment.

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is to spend her summer away from Wisteria Lane – getting scared.
The actress has signed on to star in Franc Reyes’s new horror film Tenement.
Reyes has not revealed the full plot of the scary movie but it is believed the story follows five potential buyers who lose more than they bargained for when they attend an open house in a haunted tenement building in the Bronx.
Reyes added: “If I had to point to one film that had the full impact of story, writing and genius directing, on me it has to be The Exorcist.
“Telling the story of Tenement fuses The Exorcist, [The] Amityville Horror and Rosemary’s Baby.”
Filming on the supernatural horror film is set to begin in New York in May.
