Today’s celebrity rundown (15 photos)

Updating the 1959 animated classic, ‘Sleeping Beauty,’ Angelina Jolie will play the evil sorceress in ‘Maleficent.’ Disney leaked this new shot of the film that isn’t scheduled to be released until March 13, 2013. The film will focus on the backstory that led Maleficent to turn against the fairy-tale kingdom.

Anna Kendrick got dressed up for the Summer 2012 issue of Boston Common Magazine. In the cover picture, she wore a Dior gown with matching red pumps. When asked about her celebrity status, she had a humbling response:

“I still find it all rather scary. I still get sweaty and super-nervous before I walk the red carpet… I remember when I first came to Los Angeles, I was shocked at the open ambition and complete lack of humility. Bragging about what you had, what you had done, and what you hoped to do— I thought it was such a strange phenomenon. Those are things you keep to yourself.”

Julia Stiles is back. You won’t find her in a movie or on your TV screen. Check out what she is up to HERE.

Fergie scored the July 2012 cover shoot for Self Magazine. During her interview she explained what she is focusing on now.

“I needed to take a break from performing, and from the Peas, to be happy. I craved female time, and time with my husband to feed my soul. My life now is about being balanced. I’m passionate about work and working out, seeing friends and family, and letting my hair down once in a while.”


She also revealed her secret energy source. “Josh turned me on to juicing, and now I do it when I wake up and between meals. The energy it gives me is amazing—I hardly need caffeine anymore. We blend kale, spinach, broccoli and celery with a banana, an apple and a pear. We have two Vitamixes going at once! But I’m only really strict about what I eat when I know I have to be in a bathing suit.”

Madonna was spotted shooting a new music video at a gas station in Florence, Italy. Whoa, hairspray. Her boy toy Brahim Zaibat was also spotted behind the scenes.

Jennifer Hudson announced she is partnering with QVC for a new fashion line. She wants the line to target all shapes and sizes.

“I feel like I represent every woman. I’ve been on both sides of the fence. I’ve been a big girl and now whatever this is, the average size, whatever you want to call it. But I wanted the clothes to be where any girl could wear it — no matter what size you are — and you could feel comfortable in it,” noted Hudson.

Having ‘Entourage’ withdrawal? It looks like an ‘Entourage’ movie is in the works!

“Yeah, [Entourage creator] Doug Ellin is actually writing the script right now.”

LeAnn Rimes gave Eddie Cibrian a creepy birthday cake for his 39th birthday. The cake included replicas of the couple in bed together. The weirdest part is that her two step-sons, Mason, nine, and five-year-old Jake are standing at the foot of their bed.

Cheryl Cole had a CD signing yesterday in London, England. She posed for press and signed copies of her latest album, A Million Lights, available in the UK now. Cheryl took to twitter to say:

The Adele song ‘Rolling in the Deep,’ miraculously wakes a comatose 7-year-old girl. The British girl, Charlotte Neve, underwent two operations after suffering a brain hemorrhage. After slipping into a coma, doctors informed her mother Leila, 31, that she was not expected to survive. A week after lying comatose, Adele’s hit song came onto the radio. Her mom knew her daughters fondness for the tune so she sang along.

“Charlotte started smiling, and I couldn’t believe it,” Leila told the Telegraph. “It was the first time she had reacted to anything since the hemorrhage. The nurses were astounded and told me to keep singing, and she smiled again. The nurses said it was like I ‘unlocked her’ and from that day she started getting better and better.” -source
