Britney Spears to Return to Big Screen?
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Casting, Celeb News,
Despite maintaining her unofficial Princess of Pop title with headlining one of the biggest shows in Las Vegas these days, Britney Spears recently revealed that she'd like to revisit her acting career.
"I would love to act. I would love to do movies. If it was the right part, it would be really cool… I love funny movies," she said at her Vegas show's opening last night. When asked which are her favorite films as of late, she named We're the Millers (Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis) and Bridesmaids (Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy), adding, "I also love Jennifer Lopez movies."
Spears was featured on The New Mickey Mouse Club in the early 90's and also acted alongside Zoe Saldana and Taryn Manning in 2002's poorly received Crossroads. She has also guest starred on TV sitcoms Will & Grace and How I Met Your Mother.
The 32-year-old mother of two has also considered reitiring after her Vegas residency.

Taylor Swift Open to Acting Roles
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Casting, Celeb News,
Taylor Swift is open to more acting roles in the future.
The "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer has already played parts on the big and small screen - she has appeared in Valentine's Day, New Girl and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - and she has admitted she wouldn't rule out more in the future if the ideal project "came along."
"That's always something that's in the back of my mind, if the right thing came along."
While the 23-year-old star is open to the possibility of furthering her acting career, music remains her true passion and she insisted it would have to be an "amazing" offer to tempt her away from being a working musician. "It would have to be something so amazing that it would take me away from writing songs and touring, which would have to be an incredible script," she added.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Buena Vista, Disney, Action, Science Fiction, Sequels, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Florence Welch is being considered for a leading role in the new Star Wars trilogy.
The 26-year-old pop diva could be turned into an "overnight" movie star with reports she is being lined up for a huge part in the next installment of the long-running science fiction saga. "We think Florence has the exact style we are looking for. She has done some acting but it was her singing on stage that initially caught the eye. Almost every actress in Hollywood wants a role in the new movies but we are keen to cast people who are unexpected. Florence is being considered for a major part that would turn her into an A-list actress overnight," a source said.
The Florence + The Machine singer would star close to her London home with the recent news the series would be filmed in the UK, with shooting due to start next year.
The movie - planned for a 2015 release - is also expected to see the return of original cast members Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill.
Christina Aguilera Seeking Darker, “Crackhead” Roles
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Casting, Celebrity Gossip,
After having made her mark in both music and television, Christina Aguilera is ready to break into the movie business, making it clear that she wants to slip into some darker roles.
When her 2010 film Burlesque was mentioned in a recent interview, The Voice mentor was quick to share her future career goals: "I do want to do more acting. I want to do something where I can really sink my teeth into something a little more challenging. Really outside of myself, outside of music."
But she won't do just any role: "I want it to be honest and genuine in expanding my wings and doing something really, really different. A crackhead on the street or a drug addict. Or something crazy and meaty and juicy. Something that really took me out of myself."
While it would be nice to see Aguilera spread her acting wings, the roles she's describing seem more appropriate for the likes of Lindsay Lohan...

The "Boyfriend" singer has been bitten by the acting bug and hopes to be cast in more roles in the future following his appearance on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in 2011.
"I hope to do some more acting. I have only done a few things like CSI, but I really want to do some more acting," Justin told E! News. The 18-year-old heartthrob played troubled teen Jason McCann on two episodes of CSI and most recently made a cameo appearance as an alien in Men In Black 3 alongside Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News,
The "Boyfriend" singer wants to branch out of singing and into the world of cinema, and is hoping to get a break in the next twelve months. "By this time next year I'd like to win a Grammy, maybe that will happen and I'd like to do some movies, stuff like that. I actually want to do some comedy movies, as well as some action, some stuff that is going to be challenging," he told the UK's Capital FM Radio show.
When asked whether he had the right martial arts moves to cut it as an action star, the Canadian singer joked, "I actually have a black belt... It's a black Louis Vuitton belt."
Justin - who is dating singer and actress Selena Gomez - also told how he had recently lost his expensive Rolex watch, which was given to him as a present from someone, although he wouldn't say whom.

Paloma Faith Wants a Christina Ricci Career
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Casting, Celeb News,
Paloma Faith wants to be a "quirky" actress. The 26-year-old singer - who made appearances in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and St. Trinians - would resort to film work if her music career didn't work out, but she admits she would need some extra lessons first.
"I'd moonlight as an actress, in Christina Ricci's roles if I wasn't a musician. I'd like to be an actress. That would be my plan B. I'd want to be cast in the sort of roles that Christina Ricci gets - quirky, avant garde and a little bit disjointed. I really loved her in Buffalo '66 and Monster. I'd probably have to look into theatre school first, though."
Paloma, however, would not find it too hard to enter the world of acting, as she used to play a lot of make-believe as a child: "When I was a child, I used to eat my dinner on the pavement outside our house in London. We didn't have a garden and there wasn't a lot of green space so my mum would put out a little table and tablecloth out on the pavement and pretend it was a restaurant. A little imagination goes a long way!"

Rihanna: Battleship Made Me Fearless
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Universal, Action, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Rihanna says appearing in Battleship has made her fearless.
The 24-year-old singer makes her acting debut opposite Taylor Kitsch and Brooklyn Decker in the movie and identified a lot with her character Petty Officer Cora Raikes.
"Definitely, I'm a fighter. I was able to identify with the character in lots of ways. She's tough and focused. But embodying her also helped me to become more fearless. I had an incredible experience on Battleship. I learned a lot about myself. I had to ask myself a lot of questions to get in touch with the right emotions. And it was great working as a team, for the first time in a long while it wasn't all about me."
Rihanna admitted she has always wanted to star in an action movie and is delighted by the finished movie: "Funnily enough, action was what I wanted to do. It seemed badass and cool. I didn't imagine I'd be fighting aliens, but Battleship was a great way to get into movies and it was a role I could do. I was blown away when I saw it. It's really fun."

Katy Perry has a smelly film crew following her around shooting her latest movie. The 27-year-old beauty is currently being filmed by an English production team for her part-biopic, part-concert movie - which will be released later this summer - but she doesn't understand why they don't wash their hair on a regular basis, but she believes it is down to their nationality.
"I've got friends who are English who are filming me for my movie. Anytime I go out wearing a sweater that looks any type of grandma-ish they steal it from me. There's one whose name is Ed. He's real skinny, he showers every day but washes his hair about every three weeks. That's what the English boys do, all those hip English boys they just don't wash their hair because they think they won't get that cool look. But I love the people of England, they're so lovely and courteous. The real people of England care, they mean well. Maybe they talk crap behind your back, but they're so sweet to your face."
