Hard at work on her latest project, Jessica Alba was spotted on the set of "Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World" in Austin, TX on Saturday (October 30).The 29-year-old beauty was decked out in a snug n' sexy spandex outfit as she busily filmed scene after scene for the upcoming family flick.

The movie is being directed by Miss Alba's "Sin City" mastermind Robert Rodriguez, with a release date slated for August 19, 2011.

Co-starring Danny Trejo and Antonio Banderas, a synopsis via IMDB tells: "A mother returns to her old profession -- she's a retired spy -- in order to prevent a villain bent on stopping time."

Jessica Alba Gets Ready For Halloween

We're but two days away from the most fun holiday of the year...Halloween! The stars are just as excited about October 31st as we are, including "One Tree Hill" actor Austin Nichols who shared his scary good pumpkin carving skills with followers, "This is my pumpkin for Halloween.

" Meanwhile, Jessica Alba (pictured) took a cue from us here at HC and talked about the movies which gave her the biggest fright, "these r sum of my fav 80s horror flicks-Hellraiser,A Nightmare on Elm Street,The Lost Boys,It,Pet Sematary& Cujo 2 name a few #80flicksrock."
Of course, in addition to the treats on Halloween, there are always some tricksters, so it's fitting that Jimmy Fallon and his "Late Night" bandleader Questlove stopped by the dare-you-not-to-scream "Silent Library" set! The Roots drummer tweeted, "Why'd I let @jimmyfallon talk me into shooting silent library 6am?" while Jimmy posted, "Me & the Roots just shot an ep of MTV's Silent Library. Owen had to get licked."

Jessica Alba has insisted that she doesn't "pay attention" to being labelled as sexy, but she thinks it's a useful tool to market a movie and herself.

The actress told Metro: "I don't really pay attention to that sexy image. It just goes with the character in the movie. At the end of the day, it's all a part of selling a product."

The 29-year-old also revealed that she began to rebel against her parents when she was only five years old.

The Machete star, who has a two-year-old daughter, said that she has always been a feminist.

She said: "It's always been weird because I grew up in a very traditional, Catholic household.

"My parents were very strict but I broke away from that at an early age. I was a feminist when I was 5. These days, I am much more liberal-minded bit I still respect their beliefs."

On a scale of 1 to 10 - how sexy do you think Jessica Alba is?

It's easy these days to write off young actresses as being manufactured products of Hollywood.

Yet if they take a page out of the book of the likes of Angelina Jolie or Jessica Alba, they might realise that there's a lot more to navigating Hollywood than just looking pretty.

That's not to say Jolie and Alba aren't two of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses. They're just two of the smartest - and two of the fittest.

While Jolie has demonstrated her physical prowess in Tomb Raider, Wanted and Salt, Alba, who started out in television's Dark Angel and who was the sole female superhero in Fantastic Four and its sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer, is now kicking some serious ass in the Mexploitation movie, Machete, by her Sin City director, Robert Rodriguez.

In fact, now happily married to film producer Cash Warren, the 29-year-old mother of Honor, 2, is proud to have played a Mexican action heroine in her first Latina role.

"I have always been attracted to strong, powerful women, like in Aliens, Terminator, Nikita and even The Professional, Natalie Portman's character," says Alba, who was born in California to a Mexican-American father and a mother who is of French and Danish descent.

Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren have become the latest couple charged with running over a paparazzo after clashing with photographers outside the Katsuya restaurant in Brentwood, California on Monday night.

The couple was driving away from the parking lot in their BMW when Warren accidentally drove over a snapper's foot.

The producer stopped the car, got out and gave the injured photographer his cell phone number, according to X17.com.

Cash then drove away with his wife, while the paparazzo waited for the police and paramedics to arrive on the scene.

Jessica Alba has revealed she would be up for appearing in Avatar 2.

The US actress would relish the thought of working with filmmaker James Cameron again, after he gave her her big break when he picked her to star in cult TV series Dark Angel.

"He knows where to find me - I'm always available to him," she told GQ.

"If we can work together and have a successful movie and make a lot of money, then great. But most importantly, he's my friend."

Jessica, who next stars in Robert Rodriguez's Machete, added: "Career-wise, the most impactful people for me have been James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez."

The 29-year-old also admitted she felt nervous around Robert De Niro, who she co-stars with in the slasher thriller.

"It felt like I was dreaming. You work with De Niro and you suddenly feel totally different," she said.

"My heart was beating fast, I got tongue-tied, I was sweating and so nervous. But he was so sweet, and gentle, calm, quiet and kept to himself."

Jessica Alba loves her "saggy breasts and cellulite".

The brunette beauty - who has a two-year-old daughter Honor with husband Cash Warren - admitted while her body has changed since she became a mother she doesn't mind what has happened to her shape because motherhood is such a wonderful thing.

She said: "There's something so amazing about having a child. My breasts are saggy, I've got cellulite, my hips are bigger, but I love it."

The Fantastic Four star also revealed she doesn't understand why she is seen as something of a sex symbol, as she had never even worn a dress before she got involved with the movie industry.

Jessica added to Britain's GQ magazine: "I don't get it. Every actress out there is more beautiful than me. I've never been comfortable showing my body off like that. I used to have anxiety attacks before I did the photo shoots.

I'm I'm soooo excited. I've just got back from holiday and found out that tomorrow Katy Perry is going to be on the show.

Katy Perry's Teenage Dream Ends Eminem's Chart Run

All good things must come to an end and it looks like Katy Perry might be the one to stop Eminem's record-setting run at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart. As expected, Perry's Teenage Dream will block Eminem from lodging his eighth week at #1 on next week's Billboard chart by selling 192,000 copies of her second official major label album, or more than four times as many as her first disc, One of the Boys, sold (47,000) in its first week two years ago.

According to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan, Perry isn't the only one who bested Eminem. Former "American Idol" winner Fantasia bounces back from a dark personal period that included a recent suicide attempt by landing at #2 with Back to Me on sales of 117,000, which pushes Em's Recovery down to its lowest chart position to date, #3, on sales of 98,000.

There are some other newcomers in the top 10, though, including Usher, whose Versus mini-album comes in at #4 (46,000), followed by country rock act Little Big Town's The Reason Why (42,000), the Randy Rogers Band's Burning the Day (#8, 29,000) and hard rockers the Devil Wears Prada, whose Zombie EP sneaks in at #10 thanks to just under 25,000 units shifted.

The rest of the top 10: Kem, Intimacy (#6, 30,000); Justin Bieber, My World 2.0 (#7, 29,000); and Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs, God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise (#9, 28,000).

After a nice run in the top 10 for three weeks, the Arcade Fire's Suburbs falls nine spots to #16 (21,000) as they pass the 250,000 mark, while Usher's five-month-old Raymond v. Raymond disc has a nice resurgence thanks to his new deluxe edition with seven new songs and a remix, surging up 12 spots to #19 as sales pick up by 57 percent to 20,000.

Beloved indie folkie Sufjan Stevens has a strong showing at #27 with All Delighted People (15,000), as do college rock faves Ra Ra Riot, whose Orchard lands at #36 (10,000). Though his single "Cooler Than Me" has lit up the charts all summer, Mike Posner's major label debut, 31 Minutes to Takeoff, has slid steadily down the chart since its debut two weeks ago, falling another 26 spots to #72 as sales dip to less than 6,000.

‘Harry Potter’ stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson said they would not star in the film series again – even if another book was written. The actors have spent the past decade making the wizarding franchise but think that ten years is enough. The author, JK Rowling, said on the ‘Oprah Winfrey’ show that the series might not end at seven novels as she was tempted to write more.

But Watson, 20, who plays the character Hermione Granger, said she would turn down the role. She told Scholastic magazine: “Oh, my goodness – no, I wouldn’t return, it feels so complete what we’ve done. It would just be weird, no way – it would just be really strange.”


And Radcliffe, 21, who plays the lead boy wizard role, isn’t too keen on the idea either. He added: “No, probably not is the answer because 10 years is enough, I think the films have reached a rather perfect and wonderful conclusion.”

The seventh and penultimate flick ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One’ will be released next month, with its sequel coming next year.

Emma Watson didn’t pucker up for her kiss scenes – instead, she had to "grit her teeth" during the filming of the latest Harry Potter movie when she was called on to kiss both Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe. The next installment of the wizard franchise, Harry Potter And The Deathly.

Watson revealed that she was quite uncomfortable while filming the scenes because she struggled to separate Grint and Radcliffe from their onscreen roles.

"Getting into character to kiss Dan and Rupert was tough. Forgetting all of our history, and our relationship. Putting all that aside and being in character was pretty b**ody hard, it really was,” The Daily Star quoted Watson as saying.

Emma “That required a huge amount of professionalism. I really had to grit my teeth and be like, 'I am Hermione, this is Harry - stop thinking that it's Emma kissing Dan. It's not. It's all good.'"

Tom plays evil wizard Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, which have been successfully adapted into a movie franchise from British author J.K. Rowling’s children’s books.

On screen, Draco is the arch-enemy of the movie’s main characters; Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, played by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson respectively. But in real-life there is no such bad feeling, with Tom praising his female co-star for her incredible mind and good manners. He admits they don’t spend much time together outside work though.

iPhone
“I haven’t seen so much of her,” he told British newspaper The Daily Mail.

“She is very professional and seems like an intelligent lady.”

The 23-year-old actor says he sympathises with Emma over all the attention she receives from the public. There has been speculation over the young star’s love life as she has been linked to a string of men, and Tom says he couldn’t cope with so much interest in his life.

“I would not want there to be a big hoo-ha about what I am doing. I would want to do it really quietly,” he added.

Emma Watson has admitted that she is not interested in being famous.

The Harry Potter actress told magazine that she reminded herself of Dory, a fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres in Finding Nemo.

Discussing how she had stayed grounded after achieving global fame as Hermione Granger in the movie series, Watson said: "Harry Potter was entirely filmed in a studio in the middle of nowhere, in the most stinky, leaky, falling-apart shed you can ever imagine, and I went to that place every day for ten years.

"Yes, I made these extremely famous movies, but everything was inside a bubble, with the same people. Everything was really contained. The crew became my family. I wasn’t involved with all the Hollywood stuff, that would've made me feel really disturbed and lost. No-one ever treated me as if I was different from anyone, nobody treated us as stars.

"There's also my breeding. My family - and I can't really make enough emphasis in this - isn't interested in the artistic environment at all. In my house, nobody watches movies, they are academic-oriented, they are just not interested in this.

"Me being an actress is not their dream made true. They just want to watch me happy. Their main focus is not my stardom.

"That’s how I am. Fame never attracted me. Actually, I'm quite shy, I've never liked attention and money. I feel myself a little bit like Finding Nemo's Dory - I just keep swimming and don't turn around to watch the mess."

Actress Emma Watson says that she does not like to follow the latest trends in fashion because she considers herself a normal girl and would like to behave and dress that way!

The popular Hermione Granger from the “Harry Potter” series further explains that people who follow fashion trends look all the same in her eyes, and since she would always like to stand out from the rest in a crowd, she chooses to wear clothes of her choice, clothes which look good on her and complement her personality.

Though fashion is not her cup of tea, Emma Watson still likes to keep herself updated on the latest trends that rule the ramp and so the actress is a regular reader of fashion magazines published in the US, claims excerpts from a recently published interview.

The actress who has won the hearts of many with her Hermione Granger act says that she loves looking elegant and for that purpose, though it may sound clichéd, keeps her style statement simple and classic. Whatever she puts on, the actress stresses that she always keeps the comfort factor in mind and makes sure that her clothes help her to remain relaxed all through the day.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson said she had to 'grit her teeth' during her kissing scenes in the final two movies.

Watson, 20, who plays Hermione in the movie series, has to kiss her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in the last film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which is being split into two parts.

iPhone
Speaking to Britain's SFX magazine about the scenes, she said: 'Getting into character to kiss Dan and Rupert was tough also. Forgetting all of our history, and our relationship.

'Putting all that aside and being in character was pretty bloody hard, it really was. That required a huge amount of professionalism. I really had to grit my teeth and be like: 'I am Hermione, this is Harry - stop thinking that it's Emma kissing Dan. It's not. It's all good.''

October 31, 2010 - Harry Potter star Emma Watson had to travel all the way to Russia for some of her hottest photos yet. The star, 20, posed for the Russian edition of Elle magazine as part of her promotion duties for “Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part 1.”

In the latest film, which hits theaters Nov. 19, Watson said she had to “grit her teeth” during romantic scenes where she kiss co-stars Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe.

Earlier this month, we opted not to cover the hoop-la around the latest version of the Victoria’s Secret diamond bra,as worn by Adriana Lima—as there were some busy news days and catch-up work to do after the many fashion weeks around the world.

However, we’ve noticed that there are many search-engine hits coming to this website, and all visitors are seeing are 2008’s design by Martin Katz.

So, here it is: the 2010 edition, dubbed the Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Fantasy Bra, modelled once again by Miss Lima, this time created by Italian jeweller Damiani.
The bra “only” costs US$2 million, compared with the US$5 million price tag put on the 2008 version. It features 3,000 brilliant-cut white diamonds, light blue sapphires and oval-shaped topazes, set in 18 ct white gold.

There are 60 ct of diamonds and 82 ct of sapphires and topazes, says Damiani. Over 1,500 hours of labour were put in to the bra.
It will appear in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show annual telecast, airing this year on November 30 on CBS in the US, and the company’s 2010 Christmas Dreams and Fantasies catalogue.
There have been pricier Victoria’s Secret bras. In 2005, the fantasy bra was valued at US$12·5 million, modelled by Gisèle Bündchen.
The 10th anniversary version in 2006 featured 2,000 diamonds weighing a massive 800 ct, valued at US$6·5 million, modelled by Karolina Kurková.
