'Scream 4' International Trailer Is Scary

 Dimension Films has dropped an international trailer for highly-anticipated "Scream 4". Starting with people asking each other "What is your favorite scary movie?", the trailer shares various murders that happen after Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott returns to her hometown Woodsboro just in time for the anniversary of local murders which saw her as a survivor.

The new trailer additionally has a lot of never-before-seen scenes featuring Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere, who are also haunted by death threat from the serial killer. It turns out that the murderer follows the patterns of "Stab", a fake movie that has been part of story in previous "Scream" films.

Beside Neve Campbell who reprises her role as now author Sidney, Courteney Cox and David Arquette also return to "Scream 4" to portray Gale and Deputy Dewey who are now a married couple. Wes Craven once again tackles the helming duty for the thriller movie, which will come out in the U.S. on April 15.

'Spider-Man' Web-Shooters Confirmed

 Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man indeed has web-shooters in untitled Spider-Man Reboot. Following speculation about tiny gold objects on his costume as seen in the first official look at him in the film, her co-star Emma Stone says, "It's a device," when hitting the red carpet of the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

Web-shooting device does appear in "Spider-Man" comics.
However, filmmakers of original "Spider-Man" trilogy decided to make the web-shooters an organic mutation since they thought it wasn't possible that a high-schooler could create something so advanced.

While Stone did confirm the web-shooters, it does not necessarily mean that people will see Peter Parker inventing his own webbing and web-shooting device instead of going the organic route.

Still at the recently held prize-giving show, Stone was also asked about whether or not her character of Gwen Stacy will see any action. On this one, the currently blonde star had her lips sealed and let fans keep guessing, saying "You're just going to have to wait and see."

"Spider-Man" reboot is still in production with Marc Webb serving behind the lens. Joining the cast of the movie are Rhys Ifans who will play a villainous character, and Martin Sheen who stars as Uncle Ben. The action sci-fi film will open wide in the U.S. on July 3, 2012.

Naveen Andrews Rekindles Romance With Barbara Hershey

 "Lost" star Naveen Andrews and "Black Swan" actress Barbara Hershey have reportedly reunited more than a year after ending their romance. The British actor, 42, met Hershey on the set of independent film "Drowning on Dry Land" in 1998 and they began dating, despite the 21-year age gap.

They announced last year that they had separated six months earlier, but insisted they would "remain the best of friends." However, the pair sparked rumors of a reconciliation on Saturday, January 15 by kissing and holding hands at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts' (BAFTA) Tea Party at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles.
A source tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "Naveen looked smitten. He went over to actor Jeremy Renner and introduced Barbara as his girlfriend, then spent most of the night holding her hand. Clearly they have managed to overcome any age gap problems they had."

Daisy Lowe Designs Her Own Bikini Line

 British model Daisy Lowe is following in the footsteps of her rocker mother Pearl by designing a range for a low-priced U.K. clothes store. The Powder frontwoman turned her attentions to designing in 2006 and has released several collections with British retailer Peacocks.

The singer's daughter, who fronted the campaigns for her ranges, has now signed a deal with store bosses to create her own line of affordable bikinis.
Daisy says, "It was important that my designs were accessible so my friends could afford them."

While she's expanding career in fashion, Daisy Lowe once ruled out following her rocker parents Gavin Rossdale and Pearl Lowe. "I've definitely put a block on doing music. My parents were always so good at what they did, and that was their forte," she said.

Jake Gyllenhaal Came to Golden Globes With Red-Head Ex

 It looks like Jake Gyllenhaal is enjoying his status as a single man in Hollywood. The actor who reportedly just split from Taylor Swift after a brief romance, was seen attending the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday, January 16 with the companion of an ex. It was the woman way before Reese Witherspoon and Kirsten Dunst.

Former Rilo Kiley singer Jenny Lewis was seen walking the red carpet event next to the actor. Despite arriving together, Lewis and Gyllenhaal were not holding hands and did not pose for the photographers together. Gyllenhaal was busy making rounds to do interviews because he was nominated in Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) for "Love and Other Drugs".
Lewis and Gyllenhaal enjoyed a year of romance in the year 2001 before he moved on with Dunst in the next year. His girls after that included Rachel Stevens and Natalie Portman.

Gyllenhaal may hook up again with Lewis but it did not stop him from looking. Internet rumors said the actor was spotted "flirting all night" with Camilla Belle over the weekend when they attended the Art of Elysium Heaven Gala.

"They hung out together the entire night. They were talking intimately, and laughing," Radar Online's source said. "There really seemed to be chemistry, a connection. Jake and Camilla were flirting all night. And before he left, I saw him very affectionately touching her arm. She is definitely his type."
