Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is definitely daddy's little girl – and the 4-year-old might even be taking style cues from Brad Pitt himself.

Walking through the Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan on Monday, her short do and big blue eyes harkened back to a younger Brad, circa A River Runs Through It and The Devil's Own.

Shiloh's tomboy taste has become her signature look, and she's often spotted sporting boyish attire, from fedoras to ties.


So what does mother Angelina Jolie think of her daughter emulating her partner's image? She says she respects Shiloh's right to express herself.

"I think she is fascinating, the choices she is making," the actress, 35, told Reuters earlier this month. "And I would never be the kind of parent to force somebody to be something they are not. I think that is just bad parenting."

On the red carpet for "Inception" last week, star Joseph Gordon-Levitt talked at length about one of the film's most eye-popping visuals: a zero-gravity fight scene in a dream-created hallway that spins in all directions. It's an astounding bit of moviemaking magic that has you wondering just how director Christopher Nolan and his team were able to do that.

We put that question to Nolan's right-hand man and longtime director of photography Wally Pfister, who revealed the inside scoop about the hallway scene, describing it as the movie's most technically challenging sequence.

"There are always scenes in a Chris Nolan script where I'm wondering how we're going to pull it off, going all the way back to Guy Pearce shooting Joe Pantoliano in the head in 'Memento,' " Pfister told MTV News. "When I was reading those rotating hallway scenes, I was blown away and also scratching my head," Pfister recalled.

To create the environment, the scene was shot using not CG effects, but rather massive, rotating sets that twisted and turned and forced Gordon-Levitt to maneuver with utmost caution. Five-hundred crewmembers were involved in the scene, which took a full three weeks to complete. In a World War I-era airship hangar just outside London (also home to sets for "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight"), Nolan's crew built a series of different hallway settings: a horizontal one that rotated 360 degrees, a vertical one that allowed actors to wear wires and another on which the actors were strapped to steel trolleys, which were eventually erased using visual effects.

Gordon-Levitt trained for two weeks with the stunt department to learn how to negotiate the rotations. When it came time to shoot, the whole crew would rehearse first with no rotation, and then graduate to a slower rehearsal with a little rotation, until it was finally time to roll the cameras.

"We run the fight scene for as long as the actors can pull it off," Pfister explained. "We begin with a camera that's not fixed to the set and shows a bit of the rotation, and then you quickly jump to where you're rotating with the set. It creates this bizarre, strange movement. It's an exhausting process for the actors. Having rotated on that set myself, it's really quite challenging and a very strange thing to get used to. If you jump at the wrong time, you could be falling 12 feet through the air.

"We kept coming back to it," he added. "We'd shoot out a part of a sequence and then the riggers would have to adjust something. We'd duck out and shoot something else and come back a few hours later and shoot more. The whole thing was spread out over about three weeks. You've never seen anything like this before."

Lindsay will be featured on the cover and in the pages of an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair magazine. She reportedly posed for the Vanity Fair cover on her birthday (July 2), ahead of her surrender to the court to start serving her 90 14 day jail sentence this week. As you may recall, on Wednesday we got to see her Complex magazine coverphoto and today we get to see a few photos from her Complex photospread.

We're looking forward to what kind of pose she will have for the magazine!

Out of the dozens and dozens of stories we have reported here at Comic-Con here's one that I never thought I'd be writing.

Between the just ending Resident Evil: Afterlife panel and the Marvel panel a fight between two fans erupted when one of them wouldn't change seats. Sadly, the scene ended in bloodshed as the argument turned violent resulting in the man who wouldn't move being stabbed in the eye with a pen.

The victim has been stretchered out and the attacker (both adults) has been removed from the convention center by police in handcuffs, his exclusive Comic-Con Harry Potter T-shirt soaked in blood.

As a result the show's main ballroom, Hall H, has been shut down with convention center employees rapidly escorting attendees out of the area. Hall H is expected to reopen as soon as possible but at least an hour long delay is expected.

More soon, if need be.

Britney herself is not making a great effort. In fact, she has now worn the same outfit twice in last three days.
The 29-year-old singer was seen on Wednesday heading into Bed, Bath and Beyond, a homewares store near her home in Los Angeles, wearing an orange vest, pale pink shorts with white socks and brown boots.
A mere 48 hours later she was spotted at a Starbucks where she had gone to use the toilet, wearing exactly same outfit.

She even had the same shoes on.
The only difference was she had accessorised her attire, and covered her matted hair extensions, with a straw cowboy hat.


48 hrs later


This is just another twist in the rollercoaster that is Britney Spears' life.
She was seen last week showing huge mats in her hair and what appeared to be balding patches from where her extensions have been pulled out.
Despite Ms Spears apparent lack of personal style she has something to be happy about.
Los Angeles social services this week closed their child abuse investigation against Spears, claiming there was 'absolutely no truth' to accusations that had been made against her.
Spears' former bodyguard, Fernando Flores had accused her of beating her sons Sean Preston, four and Jayden James, three.

With Inception at the top of the box office, Inception co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt recently dropped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to talk cinematic dreams. In the new Christopher Nolan directed film , Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays an integral member of an elite dream team headed by actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

During his stop on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt gave fans the lowdown on Inception, his childhood, and working alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. Check out the chat between Jimmy Fallon and Inception co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt:

Well isn’t she just a gem!

Although, when you’re Cameron Diaz, and you’ve bedded the likes of Justin Timberlake, Matt Dillon, Jared Leto and Alex Rodriguez, maybe monogamy isn’t you’re thing? Maybe if you just wait around long enough you’ll tap all the hot guys in Hollywood!

“I think the big misconception in our society is that we’re supposed to meet the one when we’re 18 and we’re supposed to get married to them and love them for the rest of our lives. Bulls**t,” she told UK’s Stylist magazine.

Cameron, who turns 38 next month, has never been married, despite engagements to Leto and Dillon. She and Yankee slugger Rodriguez have been photographed together for months but have not publicly discussed their romantic status.

“Who would want to be with the same person for 80 years? Why not break it up a little bit?” Diaz tells Stylist.

“I think people get freaked out about getting married and spending 20 or 30 years sleeping with the same person, but if that’s the case, don’t do it.”

Her alternate advice: “Have someone for five years and another person for another five years… Life is long and lucky and yes, love might last forever, but you don’t always live with the person you love forever.”

She and Timberlake called it quits after four years together back in 2007. She told Playboy last month, “in the past three years I’ve made a conscious decision not to be in a relationship for as long as I want."

This is shocking because PINK and Christina are known publicly to bash each other throughout the decade since they both debuted. Maybe PINK has decided she wants to end the fight and be friends with Xtina?

Christina Aguilera's new album BICONIC is on sale now!

Sneak peek of Joe Manganiello (of True Blood) on the new issue of "Muscle & Body" Magazine. Get ready for more in August!

In an ET exclusive, only our Kevin Frazier goes behind the scenes of the video for "You Lost Me" with Christina Aguilera as she opens up about causing controversy and reveals how she turns her private pain into inspiration.

On the set, the singer says she didn't aim to stir up controversy by kissing another girl in her last video, saying it didn't even occur to her because she's so comfortable with her sexuality.

As a new mom, she says she has no plans to tame her antics, stating to Kevin, "It's like telling a painter, 'don't paint nude women now that you've become a parent.' You still have to express yourself as a human being. Especially, I think as a woman, we're so shamed of our sexuality ... I have to keep in touch with myself as an artist and be able to express all sides of myself."

It's an issue she won't shield her son Max Bratman from either, she says, "When you shame a subject like sexuality, that's when you raise the perverts."

When it comes to raising her own family, "For now, I'm so good with one!" she says with a laugh, adding she wants more kids "eventually, in the future."

Out of mommy mode, she's all business! Her new single is a ballad, so she had a vision of how the video should play out. "I wanted a very raw and real feeling," she says of the shoot, which features a scene with the singer in a red-lit room with a bare bed. As the set falls apart and is burnt down while cameras roll, she reveals her goal is to capture the emotions that happen when "your relationship with this person is sort of being destroyed right before your eyes."

"It can come from your childhood, it can come from a bad day," she says of evoking emotions on command and co-writing the song. "Pain is almost a comfort zone, in a way."

However, that pain can be turned into a positive. "At times, it can come from a very inspiring place," she says. "This video will take you from a very dark place ... pretty soon you'll see me build my strength."
Although this is her first new album in four years, she hardly took a break. "The first year was touring, getting pregnant, living that out," she says. "[Then I] took a year to do the mom thing, to feel what that's really like ... then I accepted the movie 'Burlesque' and that was almost another year from the public eye, per say. So, there's been a lot of work in the process."

The video for "You Lost Me," the latest single off her album Bionic, debuts Thursday on Vevo.com.

Generally, Taylor Lautner is regarded as having one of the biggest and brightest smiles of the Twilight cast, but Jennifer Love Hewitt reported a very different experience with the actor at the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Hewitt, appearing on The Wendy Williams Show (via Twirlit) explained that when she went to the premiere, she was wavering in her "Team" loyalty between "Edward" and "Jacob," and she was excited about the opportunity to take a photograph with Taylor Lautner.

However, the picture didn't turn out as he expected, and Lautner's facial expression in it was more of a grimace than a grin. Needless to say, she decided then and there that she was "Team Edward" for good.

Chances are, Taylor Lautner was distracted or caught in between smiles, given his very jovial personality, but it was apparently enough to keep Jennifer Love Hewitt, a self-proclaimed mega-Twilight fan, off the fence.

This is quite the opposite of what Taylor Lautner's usual persuasion in the Twilight fan world has been since a lot of fans have been drawn to "Team Jacob" by his portrayal of the character.

On the heels of his first-ever Emmy nomination and his much-buzzed-about departure from television after 18 years, Matthew Fox is finally getting lost.

Together with his wife, Margherita, and their two children, the 44-year-old actor is settling into a 10-acre ranch in Oregon -- a world away from his former life shooting the series in the Aloha state. He discussed his Emmy nomination, his plans for a post-"Lost" future and, of course, that final episode.



AN EMMY NOM AT LONG LAST! ARE YOU FEELING VINDICATED?

Fox: I had no idea the awards were being announced that day, but it's very nice to be recognized. I thought the show had a really great season, especially with expectations being so enormous. I think that's really saying something. I'm just looking forward to partying with the cast and raising a glass to the show.

THE SERIES FINALE MET MIXED REVIEWS AMONG FANS AND CRITICS. WHAT'S BEEN YOUR RESPONSE?

Fox: Obviously, the show left room for interpretation when the white light poured through. I don't pay attention to how it was received. Damon (Lindelof, an executive producer) told me the ending two months prior and I was extremely moved. I thought it was absolutely beautiful.

DR. JACK SHEPHARD WAS ESSENTIALLY THE SHOW'S "EVERYMAN" CHARACTER. HOW DIFFICULT WAS IT CHANNELING SUCH AN ICONIC ROLE?

Fox: I put a lot of myself into him, so it was tremendously emotional. He started as the hero of the show and we thought the audience would be bored out of their minds if he were the knight in shining armor all the time. We wanted to take the first four years and destroy him. So, that's what we did. And in the end, Jack redeemed himself before he could move on; I think that's why I was nominated. It has more to do with Jack than anything I was doing for six years.

WHAT DID THE SHOW'S FIRST EMMY WIN IN 2005 FOR OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES MEAN TO YOU?

Fox: It meant that when the show won, a whole bunch of people jumped on the bandwagon that shouldn't have. To be honest, people felt like they were missing out, so they came, tested it and left. Then it was perceived that the show took a turn for the worst, and it wasn't. They weren't ever going to be "Lost" fans.

YOU HAVE SAID THAT "LOST" WILL BE YOUR FINAL AFFAIR WITH TELEVISION. REALLY?

Fox: I've done 300 hours of television. I've spent 12 years operating between two characters -- six years on "Party of Five" and six years on "Lost" -- and I'm at a point in my career where I want more flexibility. I want to call my own shots: when I'm working and when I'm not. It doesn't have anything to do with snobbery. Some of the best writing is on television right now.

IF YOU COULD STEP INTO THE CHARACTER OF ANY OF YOUR FELLOW LEAD ACTOR NOMINEES, COMEDY OR DRAMA, WHO WOULD IT BE?

Fox: Michael C. Hall's role in "Dexter" would be very interesting. To play a serial killer in a lead role, that's pretty cool!

According to the Post, Christina Aguilera's Bionic has sold so terribly that her label RCA is panicking and in "rescue mode," a vague term that seems to imply she could possibly get dropped from the label if there isn't a miraculous turnaround. Like many artists recently, Aguilera has also canceled her summer tour. The Post notes that her early albums seemed edgy compared to her competitors at the time, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson, but not next to Lady Gaga and M.I.A. (Really, none of her former competitors are selling music like they used to, or at all in Simpson's case, either.) So either we're heading towards a good comeback story, or Aguilera's era is permanently over.

Now that their relationship is out in the open, Stephen Moyer knows his love scenes with fiancée Anna Paquin probably get the True Blood cast and crew thinking about what goes on in their real-life bedroom. But he's okay with that.

"Everybody on set now gets to see what goes on behind closed doors," the actor, 40, tells Redbook in its August issue. "We leave nothing to the imagination!"

In a way, though, being engaged makes it less awkward. "Our love scenes actually work really well," Moyer says. "Since the crew knows we do have chemistry and are together in real life, I feel like it takes away from the nerve-racking tension that can occur when people have to watch two actors who are just getting to know each other engage in an intimate scene."

Moyer, who popped the question to Paquin, 27, last summer, says he knew she was "the one" after they filmed the True Blood pilot – and then had to spend time apart.

"We were the only two actors who didn't live in Los Angeles, so we ended up going to dinner almost every night [while filming the pilot]," he says. "When we finished filming, I went to London and she went to New York, and it felt so weird not to talk to her. So, we began Skyping and have been together ever since."

Asked what he's learned from Paquin, Moyer says the primary thing she's taught him is the value of honesty. "Even if you know that what you'll say will hurt a woman's feelings, I've learned that it's better to be truthful with her than it is to cover up," he says. "Ultimate honesty is what a relationship is really about."

After steering clear of the spotlight for the past few weeks, Britney Spears reemerged from hiding to step out in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday (July 14).

Kris Allen, was asked which male celebrity he would take to a desert island.His reply was Jake Gyllenhaal.

Tom Cruise will star as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible IV, it has been confirmed.

The Hollywood heartthrob and JJ Abrams have been on board to produce the next in instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise for some time, but Paramount has now announced Tom will star in the movie as well.

Vice chairman Rob Moore told The Hollywood Reporter: "We are absolutely excited about having Tom Cruise star in this movie."

JJ Abrams said: "We're working on Mission IV and we have a really cool idea that we're playing with and I'm looking forward to that coming to pass"

Brad Bird will direct!

He's all set to wed Katy Perry but naughty Russell Brand still can't resist trying to shock us. The comic's fantasies seem to get more fevered by the minute.

After bragging he had impregnated 64-year-old Helen Mirren, Russell then "revealed" his ultimate stag do fantasy -with one of Katy's best mates. "I'm gonna get Lady GaGa and Taylor Swift to perform a lesbian show on my lap," he said. "I'm gonna shrink them down till they're the size of dollies."

Just for good measure Russell then mused he might drop showbiz and work on his spiritual development - on a mountain top.

We reckon your soul may be a lost cause, mate.

We pretty much expected this, but now it's official: Ahead of their big panels at Comic Con next week, Hero Complex reports that both Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger will go 3D. Both films will be converting to 3D, even though director Joe Johnston tested shooting Captain America with a 3D rig (he called it a "nightmare" that restricted him too much). In addition to the 3D announcement, HC also revealed a brand new image from Thor featuring Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Chris Hemsworth as Thor (complete with the first shot of his trusty hammer) and Tom Hiddleston as the villain Loki.

As for the image itself ... well, this could go either way, right? Are people going to make cracks about the golden eye-patch wearing Hopkins? Probably. But check out the slimy-looking Loki off to the right. It's only one image, and he's off in the background (sort of), but you can immediately tell that Hiddleston is going to make a great villain -- he just has "that look"; the kind where you want to punch him even though you haven't seen him utter a word. Yeah, that look.

Whether or not both Johnston and Branagh are excited about the 3D process we don't really know. Branagh gave better quotes ("We came to feel that in our case 3-D could be the very good friend of story and character for a different kind of experience"), while Johnston began by attacking 3D ("I think it tends to be overused and can be a little bit gimmicky") and then finished with a middle-of-the-road "It's a new challenge and it's exciting" quote.

Now the pressure is on to not only solidify that Avengers cast (HC mentions Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Nathan Fillion and David Tennant as being mentioned for the role of Bruce Banner/Hulk), but also deliver 3D conversions that'll be worth the money. Can they do all that and still keep fans happy?

The Hollywood actor was joined by his Israeli model girlfriend, Bar Refaeli, and dressed down the beautiful couple almost managed to mix into the throngs of Parisian tourists - but not quite!

Try as he might DiCaprio just wasn't able to fully escape from his work though, as the two stopped for a breather they were confronted with a giant poster for DiCaprio's new film, Inception.
