Timbers were shivered at Disneyland tonight as a host of starry names gathered for the premiere of the latest swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean adventure: On Stranger Tides.

The film's star Johnny Depp, 47, looked a world apart from his alter-ego Captain Jack Sparrow with his short hair set off nicely by a retro style lounge suit and trainers.

However Depp left it to his co-star, and Pirates newcomer, Penelope Cruz, to steal the show in a figure hugging black dress that perfectly framed her glorious curves.

By EMILY SHERIDAN

Kiss me quick: Russell Brand and Katy Perry kiss for the cameras at the UK premiere of his film Arthur at Cineworld at the O2 Arena in London


They've spent a large amount of their six month marriage apart due to their busy work schedules.

So perhaps Katy Perry and Russell Brand were catching up on lost time as they put on a passionate show for photographers at the London premiere of his film Arthur.

Currently enjoying a break in her California Dream World Tour, Perry played best supporting wife to Brand as he walked up the red carpet at the O2 Arena in Greenwich.


Bare essentials: Perry wore a floor-length mermaid asymmetrical gown by Philip Armstrong with diamanté embellishments and matching nude platform heels


Brand, 35, who takes on Dudley Moore's role in the remake of the Eighties classic comedy, looked unusually dapper in a blue suit and grey tie.

And after spending the past few months clean-shaven, it looked like Brand's facial hair was making a return.

Keep your eye on the ball! Jack Black distracted by a shapely cheerleader

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Eyes front: Jack Black checks out the cheerleader at yesterday's Los Angeles Lakers game at the Staples centre


He may have been there to watch the basketball, but Jack Black looked like he was finding it difficult to keep his eye on the game last night.

The 41-year-old actor was clearly enjoying himself as he checked out the cheerleading talent at the Lakers game in Los Angeles.

Wearing a bright yellow Lakers T-shirt, jeans and a pair of sunglasses, Jack looked more than happy at the view from his court-side seat next to film producer Jeffrey Katzenberg,.


Legs eleven: The actor shares a laugh with a friend as he watches the cheerleader struck her stuff


The star, who recently starred in Gulliver's Travels, enjoyed a joke with friends as he watched the action.

However, the cheerleader's efforts seemed to be in vain as The Lakers sunk to a 109-100 defeat to the New Orleans Hornets in the first game of the NBA playoffs at the Staples Centre.

It appeared to be very much a boys night out for the star, who had left his wife Tanya and children Samuel, four, and two-year-old Thomas at home.


Taking a break: Jack enjoyed a courtside snack as he watch the Lakers lose to The New Orleans Hornets


The actor last appeared in a film version of Gulliver's Travels, and will soon again be providing the voice of Po in animated sequel Kung Fu Panda 2.

'This movie kicks so much butt that's there's going to be a national butt shortage when this movie is unleashed on theatres,' Jack has said about the film.

Kung Fu Panda 2, which also features the voice talent of Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman and Seth Rogen, will be released in the U.S. in May.

Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson share uncomfortable cuddle

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Awkward? Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon posed for pictures on the red-carpet for the premiere of their new film, Water For Elephants, at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City


After already complaining about getting intimate with Twilight star Robert Pattinson this week, Reese Witherspoon was once again forced to cozy up close to her younger co-star tonight.

The pair shared an uncomfortable cuddle as they posed for pictures on the red-carpet for the premiere of their new film, Water For Elephants, at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City.

The awkward embrace comes after the 35-year-old actress revealed that her steamy sex scenes with the 24-year-old were anything but enjoyable.


Pretty in puffball: Reese was radiant in a cream Jason Wu puffball mini dress which had a stunning fine black floral embroidery scattered around the skirt and bodice


Reese described her kissing scenes with the Twilight hunk as 'unpleasant'.

'He had a very runny nose,' she told MTV, adding: 'It wasn’t appealing. It wasn’t pleasant.'

Reese, who married talent agent Jim Toth last month, offered her co-star some advice for his future kissing scenes too.

'Bring a Sudafed,' she joked.

Reese could barely force a smile on the arm of Robert, who had his arm wrapped around her waist.

The duo appeared more comfortable when they posed with their co-star Hal Holbrook, who plays the older version of Pattinison's character.

Regardless of their lacklustre chemistry, the two co-stars looked equally elegant for tonight's occasion.


Three's a crowd? Reese and Robert also posed with their 86-year-old co-star Hal Holbrook, who plays the older version of Pattinison's character


The recently married actress also showed off her wedding band set, which she received from Toth when the pair exchanged vows only weeks before.

Robert, who is rumoured to be in a relationship with his 21-year-old Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, looked dashing in a checked charcoal suit with a white shirt and burgundy tie.

While Kristen wasn't on hand to escort him down the red-carpet, the handsome British actor did have his two older sisters, Victoria and Lizzy Pattinson for moral support.

'I smoked weed in college, but I'm too old now': Natalie Portman on her 'stoner' past as she stars in TWO comedies about the drug

By Andrea Magrath


Stoner past: Natalie Portman discusses her fondness for marijuana back in her college days


With an Oscar for Black Swan under her belt, perhaps Natalie Portman feels it's time to put her feet up and relax with some less serious roles for a change.

The actress, who has long received critical acclaim for her dramatic roles, is set to star in two upcoming 'stoner comedies'.

The first, Your Highness, is released this month, while the just-announced Best Buds will have to wait until after the birth of her first child this summer.

And Natalie, 29, says it's an area she has quite a bit of experience in, from her days at Harvard University.

'I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I haven’t smoked in years,' she has told Entertainment Weekly.

'I’m too old. I wish I was that cool, but I’m like an old lady now. I’m in bed by 10 p.m. I can’t do that anymore.'

Her comments were made before she announced her pregnancy this year.

The actress graduated from Harvard in 2003 with a B.A. in Psychology.

During her education there she only made two films, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and a small role in Cold Mountain.

She told the New York Post at the time: 'I don't care if college ruins my career. I'd rather be smart than a movie star.'

But it appears Natalie did more in her dorm room than just studying.

And she has enjoyed reliving her 'stoner' days in Your Highness, the medieval comedy in which she stars alongside James Franco and Danny McBride.

High times: The actress stars in Your Highness, a medieval comedy about brothers with a weed habit on a quest


She plays Isabel, a mysterious warrior, who joins brothers Thadeous and Fabious in their quest to rescue Fabious' bride Belladonna from an evil sorcerer.

Their efforts are hindered by lazy Thadeous' fondness for smoking weed.

Natalie will produce and star in Best Buds. She will play a bride-to-be who blows off her wedding for a marijuana-fuelled road trip to San Diego with her two best friends.

Nicole Kidman turns action woman as she leads the charge on the battlefield in new film

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Into the fray: A red-faced Nicole Kidman pants with exertion as she shoots an intense battle scene on the set of her HBO movie in San Francisco, California


Red-faced and panting from exertion, her bobbed hair ruffled in the wind, this is not the Nicole Kidman we are used to seeing.

But the usually pristine Australian actress turned into an action star yesterday, leading her troops in intense battle scene on the set of her new movie in San Francisco, California.

With husband Keith Urban relaxing as he drank a coffee nearby, Kidman did multiple takes running across a battlefield with a group of soldiers in tow.


Intense: Kidman was in character as inspirational war correspondent, Martha Gellhorn, a reporter who risked her life to cover the Spanish Civil War and several battles during World War II


Kidman was in character as inspirational war correspondent, Martha Gellhorn, a reporter who risked her life to cover the Spanish Civil War and several battles during World War II.

She was also a novelist and a lover then wife of author Ernest Hemingway, who she met in a local bar in Florida's Key West.

Gellhorn inspired the novelist to pen one of its most famous novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls.


Hitching a ride: Nicole was surprised on set by a visit from husband Keith Urban and their daughter Sunday Rose


In character: Clive Owen stands guard in one of the scenes, left, he plays the role of author Ernest Hemingway
The film, Hemingway & Gellhorn, is an HBO movie for U.S. television and is produced by James Gandolfini, who tried for six years to get the go-ahead to make the story.

Meanwhile offscreen Kidman's country singer husband has said his family is his number one priority.

Kidman and the U.S. star, 43, have two daughters - Sunday Rose, two, and Faith Margaret, three months.


Surprise visit: Keith Urban drank coffee on set after bringing oldest daughter Sunday Rose to watch her mother at work


Speaking about their life together, he said to People magazine: 'We just have a normal life, we do normal things. Family is definitely a priority for us.'

The star was voted one of People's 'hottest guys in country music' and opened up about his first kiss - aged five.

He said: 'I think it was just on the monkey bars. I don't remember if she kissed me or I kissed her. I just sort of went: "Oh, well, that makes sense. That feels very natural."'


Day out: Kidman and her daughter, Sunday Rose visit Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat in Las Vegas, Nevada

The morning after the night before! Bradley Cooper flat out cold in new trailer for The Hangover 2

By Daily Mail Reporter


Out cold: Bradley Cooper wakes up with one sore head as he reprises his role as Phil Wenneck in The Hangover 2


There are hangovers... and then there are the mother-of-all hangovers.

Bradley Cooper wakes up with one sore head as he reprises his role as Phil Wenneck in The Hangover 2.

Out cold on the floor, the 36-year-old actor is pale, clammy and red-eyed.

Troubles: Cooper wakes up in what appears to be the aftermath of a wild night in an empty Bangkok hotel room, while Alan Gardner, played by Zach Galifianakis falls off a bunk bed with shaved head


His antics are all in the name of the hotly-anticipated sequel to the first film, The Hangover, which grossed a staggering $467,416,722 worldwide, making it the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever in the United States.

The sequel is a relatively similar format to its 2009 predecessor: After Phil, Alan, played by Zach Galifianakis and Stu, played by Ed Helms throw a wild bachelor party in Bangkok, they're forced to piece together their night after being roofied (drugged with Rohypnol) during their boys' night out.

This time the group have swapped Las Vegas for Thailand for the bachelor party for hapless Stu.

Inked: Once again, Stu, played by Ed Helms is shocked to discover a horrific body modification

Panicked: Running to the bathroom mirror he discovers the tribal design and turns to Galifianakis and screams: 'Alan what did you do? Did you Roofie me?'


Some Fans may be disappointed to know that it is not Jade the stripper from Las Vegas (played by Heather Graham)

Instead Sucker Punch's Jamie Chung has replaced Graham as Stu's love interest.

The trailer opens with a scene of a rehearsal dinner in Thailand.

Alan stands up to do a speech referring to the boy's antics in the first film.

New friend: A cheeky monkey has replaced the baby in the first film as the sidekick


'None of you know Stu like I do. I can't even tell you what we've been through because we made a pact. What I can tell you is this is not Stu's first marriage, there was a w**** in Las Vegas a couple of years ago.'

After deciding to hit the town for a night out, Stu's new fiancée asks the boys to take her little brother Teddy along, which proves to be a big mistake.

Then with the camera panning across what appears to be the aftermath of a wild night in an empty Bangkok hotel room, the antics begin.

Toast: Galifianakis gives an hilarious speech about Stu at the beginning of the trailer

Before the antics: just like the last film the boys are seen toasting to the groom before things go pear-shaped


Stu wakes up in an empty bathtub, Phil rises in a clammy sweat and Alan drops from the a bunk bed with a shaved head.

And once again, Stu is shocked to discover a horrific body modification.
But this time it's not a missing tooth, instead he has been tattooed on the side of his face.

He's back! Near naked Mr Chow, played by Ken Jeong returns for the sequel


'Your going to freak out but it will be ok,' Phil says to Stu. 'Is it my teeth?' replies Stu.

Running to the bathroom mirror he discovers the tribal design and turns to Alan and screams: 'Alan what did you do? Did you Roofie me?'

And just like the first film, a member of the clan has gone missing.

Road wars: The clan get into a high speed car chase on the wild street of Bangkok

Panic: As always Helms' character Stu goes into melt down


But this time it's not the groom, it is Stu's brother-in-law-to-be, Teddy.

The trailer then plunges into a montage of the boys in search for the teenager in the wild streets of Bangkok.

It cuts to the film's main stars who are walking down the street in slow motion with a monkey in tow.

Road trip: The movie sees the boys travel with some monks


During the malarkey the boys visit a monastery where Alan gets knocked out by a monk, a girly bar where gun fire breaks out and yet another car chase where the boys trash a sport-car.

A cheeky monkey has replaced the baby in the first film as the sidekick, and the boys once again come face to face with a near-naked Mr Chow, played by Ken Jeong who instead of chasing the boys around town join them in their search to find Teddy

Justin Bartha, who played the groom in the original hit film, stars in the second instalment, but plays a minor role.

Former president Bill Clinton shot a brief cameo in the comedy earlier this year
Liam Neeson also plays a tattoo artist


What a blast: They also run into some gunfire in a girly bar forcing Galifianakis to use a firearm
