Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Looks – and Dresses – Just Like Her Old Man



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."

'Inception' Hallway Scene: How Filmakers Pulled It Off



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."

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 stabbing!



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 Spears wears the same outfit twice in the same week



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.
