The couple – who celebrated their third anniversary last month – are said to have agreed the time is right to add to their family and give three-year-old daughter Suri a sibling. A friend of the couple told America’s Ok! magazine: “She no longer feels like she’s just Mrs. Cruise. She’s her own person again. She and Tom have their disagreements, but deep down they love each other very much. That’s what is important.”
Tom, 47, and 30-year-old Katie – who met in April 2005 – have been contemplating having another baby for some time. It had been reported Katie – who recently finished shooting ‘The Extra Man Mary’ and ‘Don't Be Afraid of the Dark’ - wanted to star in another box office hit before she expanded her family. A source said: "Katie had to put movies on hold after Suri.” Katie's last film 'Mad Money' failed to impress at »

With vast experience on stage and screen (big and small), Eileen Dietz' career has woven a path in-and-out of the horror genre. While horror fans will no doubt associate the actress with her role as the face of evil in William Friedkin's Oscar-winning 1973 film The Exorcist, Dietz has many stories to tell. Fangoria's Australian correspondent Lee Gambin recently sat down for a one-on-one interview to discuss her career and craft.
Lee Gambin/Fangoria: What were some of your very first jobs in the entertainment industry, as I understand you started super young and how did the Neighborhood Playhouse Theatre School benefit you as a young actress?
Eileen Dietz: I worked at a Summer Stock company in Kalamazoo Michigan. It was a very bad place and the director of the theatre only brought me up there to rob me of my innocence if you know what I mean. »

Eddie Murphy's "The Adventure of Pluto Nash" is the No. 1 flop of the decade according to The Hollywood Reporter. Big budgets, big stars with big egos, all clash to give us the biggest flops of the past ten years.
"Pluto Nash" was made for $100 million and only grossed $4.4 million, even out-flopping John Travolta's Scientology-homage "Battlefield Earth."
But Murphy and Travolta are not the only ones on the list. Nicole Kidman, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, and Halle Berry also made the cut. Even Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez were not safe!
What other films made it to the Top 10? Here's the complete list of the Top 10 Flops of the Decade, The Biggest Turkeys:
1. The Adventures Of Pluto Nash
* Release date: August 6, 2002
* Estimated cost: $100 million

France's first lady has agreed to be in a Woody Allen film. She's such an obvious choice, we should have predicted it
Why on earth didn't we predict it long ago? France's first lady, Carla Bruni, has revealed that Woody Allen has asked her to be in one of his films, despite her complete lack of acting experience. And she has said yes.
Bruni – of course! She is a quintessential Minor Woody Allen Character: sexy, wealthy, European in that luxury-hotel sense that he adores, liberated in a pre-feminist sort of way, with creative aspirations that are preposterous but which powerful, besotted men might well indulge in the hope of getting inside her exquisitely tailored culottes.
Bruni is the classic unattainable woman from a golden-age Woody Allen picture: the sort who might get a party-scene cameo, towering sexily over him while giving her deadpan opinions on literary or artistic topics – opinions with which he, »

Diane Keaton had her pantsuits, Lisa Lopez had her condom glasses, Kriss Kross had their backwards pants…and Blake Lively has her boobs. The Gossip Girl’ s long blond locks get a lot of attention, “but the assets Lively flaunts most flamboyantly are not on her head: They're on her chest,” writes Jessica Pressler for New York . Her latest premiere outfit was only the most recent in a long line of boob-centric appearances. “Regarding at her bisque-colored, seemingly nippleless boobs, rounding like Barbie's out of her tiny jacket, we realized we'd seen those things before. Many, many times,” Pressler continues. “Clearly,... »

Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich. Federico Fellini and Marcello Mastroianni. Alfred Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart. Billy Wilder and Jack Lemmon. Woody Allen and Diane Keaton... The cinema would be a lesser place without the classic films sprung from its great director/actor teams. Currently, the celebrated Spaniards, writer/director Pedro Almodóvar and his actress/muse Penelope Cruz, are on the verge of that mythic list, italics intended. That's not just a pun on Almodóvar's international breakthrough Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988), but also a winking acknowledgement of his latest feature Broken Embraces (Los abrazos rotos), opening this week in select cities. In a film within that new film, the director reenacts crucial scenes from his own Women on the Verge. Here's the fascinating revision: Cruz plays the Carmen Maura role from that classic Oscar-nominated comedy. I would hate to downplay »

Amelia Earhart, the great pioneer aviatrix, has been impersonated on screen by numerous actresses, among them Katharine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell, Diane Keaton and Amy Adams. But never as convincingly as she is by Hilary Swank in this immensely enjoyably biopic from the Indian director who made her name with Salaam Bombay!. With the right short haircut, some orthodontic effects and sporting her regular radiant smile, Swank bears an uncanny resemblance to Earhart and the film borrows the device Billy Wilder used in his Lindbergh film, Spirit of St Louis, of telling her story in flashbacks from an epic flight. In her case, it's the doomed round-the-world trip she embarked on in 1937 in her 40th year, accompanied by ace celestial navigator Fred Noonan.
The film chronicles her early fascination with flight, her companionate marriage to publisher and publicist George Putnam (Richard Gere at his most charming), her two record-breaking transatlantic flights, »

From Hollywood Crush: Who would have thunk it? "Charlie's Angels" is back in full throttle! According to Variety, the concept that originated in 1976 is set to be picked up by ABC. The same guy who adapted the now-defunct Fox series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," Josh Friedman, is set to write and exec produce.
The original show was a hit for five years starring the late, great Farrah Fawcett. That TV show later was adapted into two films starring Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore. Let’s think here. What if Farrah Fawcett had never starred in "Charlie’s Angels", what if Diane Keaton took her spot instead? Or Mia Farrow, maybe? All we know is that if Hollywood Crush were around at the time, we would have had something to say about it!
So, with that being said, we thought it would be rather fascinating to create our »

For Something's Gotta Give, writer-director Nancy Meyers had to convince Diane Keaton to bare all on screen. Six years later, Meyers is back with a new romantic comedy, It's Complicated (in theaters Dec. 25), and this time, it's Alec Baldwin who's doing the stripping. He and Meryl Streep play ex-spouses who, over their son's college-graduation weekend, rekindle their romance -- a tricky situation that becomes even more so when Streep's character starts dating her architect, played by Steve Martin.

There are two things it’s hard to get away from when discussing Woody Allen: the first is that his output is so constant, there’s going to be winners mixed with losers. Over the last couple years, Allen’s talent has been scattershot to say the least, but then he might surprise you with a film like Match Point, or Vicki Christina Barcelona. Even his early funny period had some misfires, but that leads into the second point, which is that Allen has not been strong for a long time. You can never count him out, but the 21st century is easily his weakest period of cinema. Whatever Works, however, was written a very long time ago, and it shows, so it combines early funny with later Woody. My review after the jump.

Shankman's got spirit!
Do you follow the Oscar show news in the way you follow the Oscars? I don't so much, despite this life I lead constantly writin' about the awards themselves. I care who hosts to some degree but I tend to ignore the rest. But I found it interesting this week when director Adam Shankman (Hairspray) was named as one of the producers and his choreography skills were noted as a reason to be enthused about this assignment. At least he has a sense of humor about his, um, limited history with the big event I was one of Paula Abdul's 'Under the Sea' pirates," Shankman said. "The last time I was at the Oscars, I was in Lycra, with a pirate hat on. Shankman's presence must mean more musical numbers. I'm all for musical numbers provided they rehire Hugh Jackman as host. He was so fine last year. »

It's never been easy being a working mom and Hollywood has recognized it for years. From "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton to Sally Field's mom in "Mrs. Doubtfire" to Julia Robert's "Erin Brokovich," movies have depicted the struggles of keeping a career and a family to both comedic and serious extremes. This weekend, Uma Thurman stars in an indie look at the subject matter as a blogger trying to survive a hipper than thou New York City in the new comedy "Motherhood." HitFix's Katie Hasty spoke to Thurman about shooting the comedy, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and... »

In the cover story for the November issue of More magazine, mom-of-two Diane Keaton talks openly about forgoing a relationship to instead focus on family and career.
“I’m free to do what I want to try to do,” she notes. ‘I don’t have to worry that I’m not living up to some responsibility as a partner to somebody else.”
Daughter Dexter, 13, sees things a bit differently however! “It’s [all about] boys right now,” Diane, 63, shares, asking “Could she be more different from me?”
“She goes to them, talks to them. She makes the dates. »

Actress Diane Keaton fears the only way she'd land a lover these days is if she paid him to romance her.
The former big screen sex siren, who previously dated Woody Allen, Warren Beatty and Al Pacino, insists her days of romancing Hollywood's eligible bachelors are over.
The Annie Hall star tells the new issue of More magazine, "I don’t think men even look at me anymore. If anything could work in that area, it would probably be if I paid him (suitor). Then I think we could work out an affable relationship.
"I’m totally for it! I pay for everything else."
But don't cry for Keaton - she doesn't miss having a man around: "It’s a huge part of life that’s missing, yeah, but I don’t miss it.
"I’m free to do what I want to try to do. I don’t have to worry that I’m not living up to some responsibility as a partner to somebody else." »
