"When it's the wedding of Observe and Report star Anna Faris, it's the Margaritas.

"We're thinking something really sort of low key for sure," Faris, 32, tells PEOPLE about her wedding plans, joking that it might be Mexican-themed. "Something that involves a lot of Margaritas, maybe!"

The bride-to-be, who in January confirmed her engagement to Bride Wars star Chris Pratt, 29, says the planning's "going slowly" but that she doesn't want a lot of hubbub, anyway.

"A lot of alcohol and no drama! No fuss, that's the most important thing. Warm would be great," she says. "I just get to play and get my hair and make-up done in my professional life, so I don't really know if I want that fuss for my wedding. I want simple."

And she says she's already enjoying one of the best parts of a marriage – the benefits of living together". Source: www.people.com

She explained: "I went to drama school for three years and I kind of tried all these different methods and never really felt like I was getting anywhere.

"And then it was actually Tess that unlocked something in me. I became like a crying wreck – I couldn’t stop crying all the time. And then on the next film I did, Prince of Persia (with Jake Gyllenhaal), they kept saying to me, ‘Why are you crying all the time?’ I couldn’t get rid of Tess!" Source: www.mirror.co.uk

Emile Hirsch in L'UOMO VOGUE

"Penn dediced that Emile was right for the job, and the young man repaid that trust with an intense, real, and moving performance that critic Roger Ebert called hypnotic and almost transcendental."I completely identified with the character. I think that, at a certain point in life, we all have wanted to drop everything and to move far away, create a new life, and become someone else so we wouln't be prisoners of our life, rather set out to explore something new and unknown..."

There's not a shred of rhetoric in his voice. Emile speaks in a monotone, without emphasis, in short, brief phrases. Here's how he recalls his childhood. "I spent a lot of time in New Mexico when I was a kid. I used to climb the mountains and we would camp in remote, rugged places".
-"The talent of Emile" by ALESSANDRA VENEZIA.

L'UOMO VOGUE ITALIAN EDITION PHOTOSHOOT, 2009 MARCH:
After a number of well-regarded but barely seen films including Lords of Dogtown and Alpha Dog, he won raves for his riveting, emaciated work in director Sean Penn's Into the Wild. (Into the Wild) was the first time I did something people were aware of on a larger scale," says Hirsch, who remains close to Penn. The two recently worked on the biopic Milk, which stars Penn as assassinated gay rights activist and San Francisco mayor Harvey Milk. It's a world or two removed from the eye-popping cityscapes of Cosmopolis, where Speed Racer unfolds. What does Penn think about his protege headlining such a commercial, mass-market property? "I think he's probably pretty excited about it," Hirsch says.
"That was what totally changed the equation. One of my favourite movie-going experiences was when I was 13 and I saw The Matrix. I love that movie so much; I was so blown away. They're more artistic and independent than a lot of people who call themselves independent artists," he says, adding, "And I wanted to sell out."

Remembers producer Joel Silver of finding their Speed, "We saw all the young hot guys in town, but we hadn't seen Into the Wild yet -- it hadn't come out. But (the Wachowskis) felt he had all the qualities Speed had -- he was handsome, genuine, ambitious, forthright ... They thought he was Speed."

Once Hirsch was in place, the cast quickly filled out: Christina Ricci as Speed's girlfriend Trixie, Susan Sarandon and Goodman as his racing-in-their-veins parents, and Matthew Fox as Racer X, an enigmatic rival who may be Speed's presumed-dead brother, Rex Racer.

Altogether, they shot for 60 days outside of Berlin on green-screen soundstages. The film's trippy, colour-drenched vistas were then added digitally in post-production.


Coming off his intensely visceral experience making Into the Wild, Hirsch recalls, "There's no real way to make the transition. You're thrown into this other world. Green screen kind of sucks the life out of you a little bit, so you've got to be constantly battling that and trying to rejuvenate yourself. It can be a really soul-sucking activity. It's known for that. But that's part of the deal. 'You know you're shooting on green screen, right? Prepare yourself for Hell.' For Into the Wild, shooting in nature is so much fun and so giving and you're rejuvenated at the end of every day. (Working with green screen) you're constantly going outside when you can and becoming really tight with all the people on the crew and having that sense of camaraderie -- that's what can give you your energy back."

He is similarly circumspect about fame and celebrity. "I don't try to keep my distance. It's a world you're involved. If you live here, you're in the town. You don't want to be some weird loner in a trailer 100 miles out of town, damning Hollywood -- that's too much."
Emile Hirsch between Susan Sarandon and Christina Ricci.

And unnecessary, says Sarandon, who believes Young Hollywood's predilection for bad behaviour has been exaggerated thanks to a few repeat rehabbers.

"I worked with Natalie Portman (when she was young), with Jake Gyllenhaal on one of his first movies, my daughter's starting out (acting). There's a certain group of people who have gotten into a certain lifestyle because they don't have enough to do or they're not talented enough. But there's a whole cadre of young actors who are working really hard and really well and they show up and they're pros."

Says Hirsch, "You just want to keep your head and not be a jerk. It's simple. There's no complex formula. You just want to be someone who, if you met them, you would not dislike."

That extends, appropriately enough, to his behaviour on the road. "I'm a safe driver," he says. "Conservative and safe."

Kristen Stewart developing her character

"Bella Swan is a diamond in the rough. We've seen her trip and fall, we've seen her battle her own antisocial behavior and we've seen her fall heart-and-soul into a most unusual romance. But now, as filming for "New Moon" gets underway, director Chris Weitz is planning to show us Bella as we've never seen her before.

"I had to go in and do a head-scan the other day," Kristen Stewart revealed to MTV News over the weekend, discussing a recent Vancouver appointment to create a computer-generated doppelgänger for a key "New Moon" scene.

The CGI-Bella will appear during a moment Twilighters have long dreamt of watching with their own eyes: the cliff-diving scene. In "New Moon," Bella becomes so distraught over her breakup with Edward that she dives off a precipice into the icy waters below, hearing his voice whenever she places herself in danger. Fans care so much about the pivotal "New Moon" moment that some have even created their own videos depicting how it should go down. Until now, the biggest question has been whether Stewart would do the stunt herself.

"Unfortunately, no," answered the actress, back in Los Angeles over the weekend to promote her film "Adventureland," in theaters April 3.Kristen Stewart, Bill Hader and Greg Mottola at the premiere of "Adventureland" in L.A.Nikki Reed, Kristen Stewart and Kat Dennings.
"I get to almost jump, and then no. I'm not going to do the cliff-diving, unfortunately."

Instead Weitz — the effects whiz who brought "The Golden Compass" to life — has decided to keep his actress on dry land and call in the computers. "I have to hand it off to some computerized Bella," Stewart grinned.

Photos of the "Twilight" crew's recent trip to Vancouver have flooded the Internet, bringing an amazing amount of analysis to pics of the actors standing around between takes. In the mind of the 18-year-old actress, however, the only thing even more bizarre was holding an angst-ridden face while it was scanned repeatedly — to eventually be placed onto a CGI cliff-diver.

"I went to do a head-scan the other day and it had to be my 'determined' look," she laughed. "They were like, 'You're just about to jump, so [pretend] like you're about to scream or something.'"
Even during the scan, however, Stewart was determined to develop her character. "I was like, 'No, no, no. She's set [to do it]," the actress said on Bella's determination to make the jump.

But she was told there was no room for interpretation. "Every face [had to] look exactly the same," she explained. "So I was like, 'I can't move? But I have to make the [jumping off a cliff] expression?' "
Giving us a sample of her somber, close-mouthed face, Stewart said of the computer-generated jumper, "Bella is going to be jumping off the cliff going like [she's contemplating stuff]." Source:www.mtv.com
