Brad and Angie in Splitsville?

Depending on which tabloid you’re reading, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are either pregnant, breaking up, living in separate houses, or locked in a bitter custody battle. This report says that Angie offered Brad $90 million for the kids. Believe it?

Abbie Cornish, Mariah Carey and others at the Cannes Film Festival 2009

The Cannes Film Festival – a.k.a. Festival de Cannes – is in full swing right now, from May 13 – 24, 2009. I’ve chosen a few images from the festival, including lovely Abbie Cornish, right, attending the "Bright Star" screening.

The main news to come out of the festival is that while there are many top-tier projects available to U.S. distributors, no one is buying. A sign of the bleak economy? Whatever the reason, it looks like some very big movies may be left without a U.S. distributor, which could mean smaller distributors will swoop in and pick them up.

Some of the projects sparking interest include Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s "Biutiful," starring Javier Bardem in a story about a drug dealer and a policeman; "Unbound Captives," a period drama with Robert Pattinson and Rachel Weisz; and Stephen Gaghan’s "Blink," starring Al Pacino as a father who reconnects with his estranged son.

Film Gecko Five: Top 5 Dom DeLuise Movies

I was saddened to hear that Dom DeLuise passed away yesterday at the age of 75. He was always a very funny actor who rarely strayed from the goofy character he played in movies like “The Cannonball Run” and “Blazing Saddles.” It worked, so why mess with it?

The same was true in his private life, as he was married to the same woman for 54 years (a rarity in Hollywood). He’s survived by his wife, Carol Arthur, and three sons, Peter, Michael and David.

After the jump, my tribute to Dom DeLuise – my top five favorite movie roles…

Hugh Jackman drops $4300 on breakfast for fans

Is Hugh Jackman one of the best movie stars on the planet or what?! TMZ is reporting that the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" star bought 67 breakfast trays and 80 gallons of coffee for fans who camped out in front of the theater in Tempe, Arizona, waiting for the big premiere.

Fans were treated to bagels, muffins, croissants and coffee totaling $4300 from the Paradise Bakery. I guess he can afford it, but what a guy!

Check out the actual receipt here.

Emma Watson to play Hermione’s mom? Not likely!

Emma Watson, a.k.a. Hermione in the “Harry Potter” movies, has said she plans to retire from acting after the series ends. Or at least try different things, like theater. But apparently, her thoughts on this in the May issue of Interview magazine irked a few people.

"I was a little bit shocked by people’s responses,” she said. “Maybe it’s because, at the moment, there are so many people who want to be famous, so how could I not want this? Or, how could I not want to keep it forever?"

So would she come out of retirement to do another “Harry Potter” movie somewhere down the road? Maybe. Just don’t expect her to play Hermione’s mom. “That would be so cringe!" she said. “Don’t you think people would be bored of seeing me in Potterworld by then?”

Kate Hudson turns 30, parties without Owen Wilson

Can Kate Hudson be 30 already? Man, I’m feeling old, considering that I remember when her mom Goldie Hawn was on Laugh-In.

Kate partied at Goldie and Kurt Russell’s house, but Owen Wilson was nowhere in site. Maybe they’re “off-again”? Justin Timberlake was there (sans Jessica Biel), and Matthew McConaughey showed up solo, too. Up next for Hudson: “Big Eyes” and “Nine.”
