The 82nd Annual Academy Awards have concluded, and everyone is all, “ha, ha, James Cameron!”

Despite the best efforts of Fox to kill the show, sci-fi TV series Fringe has been renewed for a third season.

Fringe has struggled in the ratings since Fox moved it to Thursday nights, running it against The Office, Grey’s Anatomy, and CSI.

As EW.com explains:

Though the show isn’t exactly blowing the roof off of Nielsen — it’s been averaging just 7.6 million viewers and is ranked No. 50 in the all-important adults 18-49 demographic this season — it managed to survive in a tough new time period on Thursdays.

Created by J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, Fringe stars the stunning Australian actress Anna Torv.

The bereft, vapid, run out of ideas train continues in Hollywood with news of yet another 80’s remake: Police Academy.

According to THR:

New Line is looking for recruits for a relaunched “Police Academy” movie. Original producer Paul Maslansky is back for the new iteration, which has no writer or director attached.

The original made Steve Guttenberg famous…before he disappeared, and featured a young Kim Cattrall, before she turned into an unattractive lesbian on Sex And The City. It also spawned 7 sequels… I gave up at 4 when I was about 15

Helena Bonham Carter takes charge at home.

The ‘Alice in Wonderland’ actress – who raises son Billy, six, and two-year-old daughter Nell with her partner Tim Burton – admits the director prefers her to make the decisions in their household, but insists it doesn’t make him a bad family man.

She said, “At home I’m the boss – he calls me ‘chief’ and I would say on the whole he likes me to make the decisions.

“He’s not a mad professor type. His time management is good. He is financially responsible. A part of him maybe exists in an alternative reality but he is a very sane and grounded good father.”

Despite their domestic attitudes, Helena admits her forthright nature can often lead to clashes when they work together, which they have done on five occasions.

She said, “At work is where we sometimes get it wrong. He’s the boss and I’m not as silent as he’d like me to be.”

Jared Leto thinks being a film star is more interesting than making music.

The ‘Fight Club’ actor, who also fronts rock band 30 Seconds to Mars, enjoys both aspects of his professional life but finds movie-making more “rewarding”.

He said, “Making a film is really the most interesting part for me. I love the research. I love the building of a character. I also don’t need to make five movies a year – I’m not after being the person who makes the most films. I want to have a rewarding, challenging experience, so I tend to do more art house type films, not big blockbuster movies. It’s interesting to be able to be a smaller piece of a bigger puzzle.”

While Jared prefers the challenge of the film industry, the 38-year-old hunk also enjoys the responsibility he has producing music, writing songs and coming up with ideas for the band, also consisting of Tomo Milicevic and Shannon Leto.

He explained, “With music you’re much more responsible for everything. As the songwriter, as a person who’s behind some of the creative ideas, you are the director, writer, editor, producer and the actor, so you have a much bigger contribution.”

Paul Bettany flew his children to the ‘Legion’ film set so they would think he was “cool”.

The actor, who raises Kai, 12, and Stellan, six, with wife Jennifer Connelly, invited the trio out to visit him while he was working on the action movie, because he wanted his sons to be impressed with his “tough” screen persona and behave themselves.

He said, “I made them fly out to watch me so they’d think I was enormously cool and tough. And they will now do whatever I tell them to, because they think I can do a butterfly twist!”

Although the film, in which he plays an angel trying to save the world, was like nothing Paul had ever worked on before, he loved trying something new.

He explained, “I loved it. I’d never made an action movie before. It was such a great experience and I loved doing it. It felt fun. It was exactly what it was and I loved doing it.

“I was learning how to spin around in the air, a lot of wire stuff and a lot of fighting. I wouldn’t say I know kung fu… they wrap a wire around you, and this guy yanks it, and you fly up in the air and spin, and because of gravity you can’t help but land on your feet. Then you go and look at playback on the monitor, and you look like Bruce Lee!”

Sienna Miller is moving to America for the summer.

The 28-year-old actress, who reconciled her romance with actor Jude Law at the end of last year while they were both staring in theater productions on New York ’s Broadway, has reportedly agreed to travel back to the US to stay with the ‘Alfie’ star while he works on his new movie ‘Contagion’.

A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper, “Sienna is determined to make it work with Jude this time.

“She doesn’t want to let him out of her sight. She loves him and wants them to stay together, so she is prepared to move wherever he is.”

It was recently claimed that Jude, who saw his engagement to Sienna end in 2005 when he slept with his children’s nanny, has asked the actress to move into his London home.

While the Factory Girl’ star agreed, cautious Sienna has insisted on keeping her own house in case things go wrong again.

A source said, “Jude has promised there will be no affairs and Sienna demands total honesty.

“If either one is unhappy she has told him they must end it.”

Jude and Sienna spent the festive period on the Caribbean island of Barbados together with his three children, Rafferty, Iris and Rudy, from his marriage to Sadie Frost.

Last year, Jude became a father for the fourth time after American model Samantha Burke fell pregnant following a brief relationship.

Liam Gallagher quit his rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle for his children.

The former Oasis singer has toned down his partying ways and has started looking after his body so he can be a good father to his three kids.

Liam, 37, said, “Everyday I’m up at 6am for a run and do a few miles across Hampstead Heath. I love it. I’ve definitely changed, I think for the better. You must remember I’ve caned it for 20 years with all sorts and I’ve got the kids now. I just took my foot off the gas a little with all the bits and bobs because you can’t be doing all that with the kids, it’s not fair on them. And I love being a dad. It’s the best thing in the world.”

Liam has three children – daughter Molly, 12, with Lisa Moorish, and sons Lennon, 10, with his ex-wife Patsy Kensit, and eight-year-old Gene with his current spouse Nicole Appleton.

The ‘Songbird’ singer quit drugs in 2008 to focus on his family life after apparently taking illegal substances for two decades.

He recently said, “I’ve had a great time and now I’m having a break. It doesn’t work with kids. You wake up the next day after a session and you’re looking for bits of your kids’ homework and football boots. You’re all over the place – it’s rubbish.”

Meryl Streep doesn’t believe all her films are good.

The 60-year-actress, who has won two Academy Awards and is nominated for another this year, is pleased with the way her career has panned out, even though she isn’t a fan of all her work.

She said, “I feel very privileged, very lucky and very happy, though I don’t think that every film I’ve ever done is brilliant.

“I’m not a producer – I just take interesting things that have come along.”

Meryl also admits she wanted to take a break following her last movie ‘It’s Complicated’ with Alec Baldwin.

She said, “Since finishing my last film I feel the need to stop for a moment and breathe, because I’ve worked so very hard in the last two and a half years.

“I’d usually make one film a year, maybe two, then two years would go by with no films and now I’ve just made seven back to back.

“Sometimes if you give that much you have to settle it down and let the field go fallow for one year, like the farmers do.”
