By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

New string: Country star Carrie Underwood makes her big screen debut playing an inspiring church leader in Soul Surfer


Carrie Underwood has cemented her legacy in the music world having won numerous awards and sold millions of albums.

Now the country singer is trying her hand at acting in the upcoming movie Soul Surfer.

Carrie has a starring role in the film about a teenage surfer who finds the courage to get back into the ocean after having her arm bitten off by a shark.


Nashville to Hollywood: The country music singer took time out from her busy recording career to try her hand at acting


The film is based on the inspriational true-life story of Bethany Hamilton, who will be played by AnnaSophia Robb.

Bethany lost her arm in the 2003 shark attack but courageously got back on her board and became a champion again just months later.

Carrie plays Sarah Hill, the church leader that inspires Bethany to get back into the water.

Bethany's parents, played by Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid, struggle with encouraging their daughter in a risky sport but are then faced with the threat of her career being cut short after the tragedy.


Moving flick: The film is based on a true story about teenage surfer Bethany Hamilton, left, who is played by AnnaSophia Robb


The film has been described as Blue Crush meeting 127 Hours but it is an inspirational tale of triumph over adversity.

In the trailer released this week, Carrie shows that she has the ability to light up a big screen in her movie debut.

The country music singer had a small role in hit TV series How I Met Your Mother last year to test out her acting chops.



Close family: Bethany's parents are played by Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid


The movie has already courted controversy when it was reported that the words Holy Bible were digitally removed from the cover of a Bible in a scene where Bethany's father Tom is reading scripture to his daughter.

The devout Christian family were relieved when they saw the final cut of the film to see it has been put back in.

'I could see the words bright and clear. I looked at my wife and whispered, "Thank you God, they put it back"', Tom Hamilton told The Hollywood Reporter.

It had apparently been taken out to soften the Christian element of the film so not to alienate non-Christian audiences.

Soul Surfer opens in theatres on April 8

Cameron Diaz gives a VERY raunchy lesson in how to wash a car in Bad Teacher trailer

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

In a lather: The 38-year-old actress plays a teacher who spends most of her time trying to find a man to look after her


Cameron Diaz proves she is schooled in the art of seduction in her upcoming film, Bad Teacher.

In a new trailer for the upcoming comedy, the actress is seen flashing her incredible figure in tight Daisy Duke denim shorts as she gets lathered up in soap suds at a car wash.

The 38-year-old is also pictured smoking marijuana in a scene from the film in which she plays a raunchy educator looking for a man to take care of her.


Funny flick: Cameron has called the hilarious movie 'filthy but fun'


Diaz also pairs up with her with her former boyfriend Justin Timberlake who plays another member of staff in the film due to be released in June this year.

The actress described the flick as 'filthy' but 'fun' and said she had given her seal of approval to Timberlake's role.

'We wanted Justin because he's such a brilliant comedian. He's so funny. He's very, very talented,' she said.


Not awkward: The Charlie's Angels actress stars alongside her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake in the film


'And Jason Segel is the heart of the film, which is weird. It's sort of a love triangle between the three of us.'

Appearing on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night, Diaz chose to answer some unusual questions rather than the standard chat show Q&A.

So when asked if she like watching adult films, she boldly said: 'I love porn!'
'You know what I love about hotels? How discreet they are. They always give you that little thing at the bottom - "Your room will be charged the same as any other room. Titles will be used"'.

Diaz was dressed like she was going to be a part of a circus.

Her black trousers, braces and white vest top - which showed her black bra underneath - looked more suited to an acrobat than a movie star.

The Charlie's Angel's star also showed off her very toned arm muscles, which have drawn comparisons with Madonna's sculpted physique in recent weeks.

But despite Diaz's muscular appearance, the actress revealed she was mocked for being skinny in school.


Special guest: The star, who is dating baseball player Alex Rodriguez, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's chat show last night


'I've had a lot of nicknames,' she said. 'When I was a kid it was "Skeletor", which really did a lot for my confidence.

'And "skinny bone Jones" - that was most of my childhood. And there was a time when I was just "dirtbag nosebag". Then there was a time when I was "C-Diesel" and then "Diesel".'

Diaz also made reference to the moment TV camera caught her feeding popcorn to beau Alex Rodriguez during the Super Bowl.

'You should see what I normally feed people when I'm not on television,' she joked.

I'll just go with a new hairdo! Jennifer Aniston tries to upstage Brooklyn Decker

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Look at me, people! Jennifer Aniston managed to steal the spotlight from Brooklyn Decker with a new haircut while promoting Just Go With It with Adam Sandler in Madrid


Jennifer Aniston attempted to steal the spotlight back from her glamorous co-star, Brooklyn Decker.

The 42-year-old has regularly been upstaged in the style stakes by the Sports Illustrated model, 23, while on the promotional trail for their new film, Just Go With It.

But the former Friends star tried to ensure all eyes were on her by unveiling a new hairstyle last night during their latest stop in Spain.


Short and sweet: The former Friends pulled out a new do - and a thigh-skimming dress - for the event


Aniston cut her long tresses into a sleek bob ahead of various press duties in Madrid.

She showed off the new do while posing at photocall at the Villamanga Hotel in Madrid with her co-star Adam Sandler.

Later, she slipped into a little black dress before meeting up with Decker, who was wearing in a pretty floral frock, on the red carpet.

It is not the first time Jennifer has cut her hair short.

Not long after she married Brad Pitt back in 2000 she snipped her hair into a similar short style.


Blonde ambition: The actress, promoting the film at the Villamagna Hotel in Madrid, has chopped her long locks into a bob


Jennifer recently admitted she was perplexed by all the attention her haircut received during her time on Friends.

The Rachel - named after her character in the hit sitcom - remained popular for years even though the actress only wore the layered style for the first two seasons of the show.

'How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen,' she said in the February issue of US magazine Allure . 'What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs?'

The cut was originally created by Aniston's long-time hairstylist Chris McMillan, who still works with her today.


Brightening up: Jen's locks were also noticeably lighter than a day earlier


'I love Chris but he's the bane of my existence because he started that damn Rachel,' she added.

Jennifer is currently on the European promotional tour for Just Go With It alongside Adam Dandler and Brooklyn Decker.

The film, which also stars Nicole Kidman and Dave Matthews, is about a man who persuades his loyal assistant to pose as his soon to be ex-wife in order to cover up a lie he told his younger girlfriend.

The film, which is already out in the US, is being released across Europe this week.

Brooklyn Decker decks Jennifer Aniston in the fashion stakes with daring jumpsuit for German premiere of Just Go With It

By JODY THOMPSON

Fashion face-off: Brooklyn Decker wore a purple silk Max Mara jumpsuit with on-trend clashing red shoes for the German premiere of Just Go With It


At just 23 years old, she's almost two decades younger than her co-star - and Brooklyn Decker certainly showed more youthful fashion flair compared to Jennifer Aniston on the red carpet last night.

While the 42-year-old Friends star played it safe at the German premiere of their new movie Just Go With It in a classic LBD, Brooklyn took a chance with a more cutting-edge purple Max Mara jumpsuit that was slashed to the thigh.

The pair star alongside Adam Sandler, 44, with Jennifer playing a woman pretending to be plastic surgeon Sandler's soon-to-be-divorced wife rather than his actual assistant to cover up a lie told to his much-younger girlfriend, played by Decker.


Playing safe: Jennifer Aniston wore a short black dress with a ruffled skirt, lace back and shoulder detail


Earlier, the trio had taken a photocall at Berlin's Hotel Adlon to promote the movie, ahead of the full-blown premiere at the city's CineStar cinema last night - with Jen still in top-to-toe black.

The movie also stars Nicole Kidman and rockstar-turned actor Dave Matthews and opened in the UK on February 11.

In Germany however, the title is Meine Erfundene Frau - or My Imaginary Woman.


Threesy does it: Jennifer and Brooklyn with their co-star Adam Sandler at the Berlin premiere of the movie, called Meine Erfundene Frau in German


The Daily Mail's film reviewer Chris Tookey clearly wished that the film had just been imagined rather than a reality that he had to sit through.

Giving the effort zero stars, he wrote: 'A diabolical romcom in which the hero is a sexist plastic surgeon who preys on younger women and enjoys hitting small children' and says that Jennifer's talents are 'wasted' in the role.

Meanwhile, Ashton Kutcher, 33, has revealed that he's long been a fan of Jennifer's talents - and once asked Brad Pitt's permission to take her on a date.


Air kisses! Sandler found himself stuck between his co-stars as they greeted each other


Talking to Graham Norton on his BBC1 chat show on Friday night, Ashton explained he had bet a friend of his $1,000 when he was a teenager that one day, he would take the star out on a date.

He continued: 'I'm 17 years old and she's like on my screensaver on my computer and he's like. "You're on..."

'Four or five years later I actually meet Jennifer Aniston and she's married to Brad Pitt at the time. And so I went to Brad Pitt and I asked his permission to ask his wife out on a date.

'I said, "Listen, I made a bet with my buddy, you're a cool guy, you're gonna let this go down, right?" And he looked at me, he's like, "You go for it."


Poseable limbs: The former Friends star appeared to have come over all Barbie doll-esque as she goofed around at the film launch earlier in the day


Hollywood to Berlin: Co-stars Brooklyn Decker, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston have a group hug to promote their new movie earlier in the day


'And I'm like, "You're the coolest guy I've ever met in my life!" So I asked her and she turned me down... But now we're friends.'

Meanwhile, Jennifer might be hoping for a better reaction to her next forays on to the big screen.

Her next films include Horrible Bosses, which also stars Jason Bateman, Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland and Colin Farrell and is due out in July, and comedy Wanderlust, in which she stars with Paul Rudd and which opens in October.


No dice: Ashton Kutcher, seen here on his UK press trip last week to promote new movie No Strings Attached, said Brad Pitt once gave him permission to date Jen but she said no

Trailer Premiere for 'Hesher' Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natalie Portman

Gordon-Levitt is a long-haired tattooed metal-head who enters the life of 13-year-old T.J., while Portman is an ugly-duckling who attracts the grieving boy.

Newmarket Films has dropped a trailer for "Hesher" which was premiered at 2010 Sundance Film Festival. It features Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Hesher, an apathetic loner pyromaniac who enters the life of a grieving family.

Hesher is the most unlikely person to help 13-year-old T.J. cope with the death of his mother, but he proves to be the only one who can truly free T.J. from his overwhelming sadness. The charismatic and dangerous Hesher drags T.J. out of loss and confusion by sheer force of will and gives the young boy and his grieving father a chance to be a family again.


Devin Brochu plays T.J., while Rainn Wilson portrays T.J.'s father. Also supporting the drama comedy is Oscar-nominated actress Natalie Portman who trades her "Black Swan" costume with big glasses to portray a young grocery clerk who steps in to protect T.J., and becomes the object of his fantasies.

"Hesher" is directed by Spencer Susser and is reportedly slated to come out in the U.S. in April. Before that, it will be screened at SXSW in March.

'Extremely happy' Reese Witherspoon announces her engagement to Hollywood agent Jim Toth

[starttext]

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

'Extremely happy': Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth, pictured here earlier this month, have announced they are engaged


Reese Witherspoon and Hollywood agent Jim Toth are engaged after almost a year of dating, her spokesperson confirmed today.

The couple quietly began their romance in January shortly after her split from Jake Gyllenhaal and went public with the relationship in March.

'They are extremely happy,' a representative for the Oscar-winner told America's Us Weekly.

It follows a string of celebrity engagements over the holiday season, with Natalie Portman, LeAnn Rimes, Lily Allen, Hugh Hefner, Shania Twain and Ginnifer Goodwin all announcing plans to wed.

Reese, 34, has two children - Ava, 10, and 6-year-old Deacon - with her ex husband Ryan Phillippe. The pair split in 2008 after seven years of marriage.
Sources tell the publication that Toth has 'bonded' with the actress's children.


Part of the family: Toth has 'bonded' with Reese's son Deacon and daughter Ava, according to sources


He has been a fixture in their lives for many months and often joins in on family outings, including their regular Sunday church visits.

Toth, 39, is an agent with the renowned Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and was named as one of the new heads of the company's motion picture talent department in September.

Whispers of an impending engagement began circulating earlier this month after he was spotted making the rounds at several high-profile jewellers in Los Angeles, including Harry Winston.


Ex factor: Reese with her former boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and her ex husband Ryan Phillippe


Reese joked about the rumours during her recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.
'My mom always texts me, like, "Are you getting married?"' she said. 'I'm like, "Mom, come on! You would know if I was getting married."'

Reese is currently starring in How Do You Know, a romantic comedy with Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, and Jack Nicholson.

Hatta girl! Pregnant Penelope Cruz looks stylish in trilby as she fits in some last-minute Christmas clothes shopping

Hat's the way to do it: Penelope Cruz leaves the Ed Hardy boutique on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood earlier this week


She's just a few weeks away from giving birth - but despite sporting a huge bump, Penelope Cruz still managed to look incredibly stylish as she shopped for clothes in Los Angeles yesterday.

Cutting a dash in a jaunty trilby, cream-coloured coat and black trousers, 36-year-old Penelope was given a VIP shopping experience at the Ed Hardy boutique on Melrose Avenue.

The store was closed for two hours to allow the star to make her purchases in peace - and perhaps staff wanted to give the blooming star extra room to manoeuvre.

The Hollywood beauty is almost eight months pregnant with her and 41-year-old husband Javier Bardem's first child.

But Penelope hasn't exactly put her feet up since becoming an expectant mother.

As recently as last month, the star was in London filming scenes for her new starring role in the next Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.


Blooming lovely: The eight-months-pregnant mother-to-be was given two hours of private shopping at the boutique


Despite her big bump, producers on the film carried on shooting close-ups of the Spanish beauty - but enlisted her sister Monica as a body double.

According to reports, whilst Penelope will be in all of the close-up shots, Monica will star in the long-distance scenes.


Yummy mum-to-be: The star is due to give birth in the New Year


On Stranger Tides sees the return of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow and introduces fans to Penelope as swashbuckling Angelica.

It was during filming of the first scenes of the movie that Penelope married fellow Spaniard Javier at a low-key ceremony in the Caribbean in July.


Ahoy there: Penelope as Angelica with Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow and Ian McShane as Blackbeard in Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides


The pair started dating in 2007 after starring together in the Woody Allen movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona - and now they're looking forward to their next starring role as parents.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides meanwhile opens in cinemas in May.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Heading off: Zahara and Shiloh will be spending Christmas overseas, along with their four siblings


As soon as they seem settled in one place Angelina Jolie's rootless family seem to pack up and move on.

And while it might be Christmas, the actress has no plans to change that.

Angelina has revealed that she and partner Brad Pitt are taking their six children away for a far-flung Christmas adventure.


We're going to travel with the kids and go to a random part of the world,' she said.
'We're going to travel and have an adventure because that's what we love to do.'

But The Tourist star stopped short of saying exactly where her family plans to celebrate the festive season when she called into On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Friday morning.

Asked whether she's kept on top of her Christmas shopping, she said: 'I have, and I've got it all boxed and ready to go.


Rootless: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Madrid last week; the couple are taking their six children to a mystery location for Christmas


I'm trying to get every stocking right and all the wrapping paper and everything.'
Jolie, 35, also revealed how she and legendary actor Johnny Depp had never met prior to filming new thriller The Tourist, which has received three Golden Globe nods despite being slammed by critics.

'We're both home bodies as it turns out, we actually live near to each other in France but have never run into each other,' she said.

'Brad and Johnny had worked together years ago, and he said "he's a nice guy and you'll like him" and I've always liked his films.

'So I kind of expected to like him and hoped he was as cool and as interesting as you imagine him to be and we met in his office and he was.

'He walked in and he was one of those very nice, very cool people that puts everyone at ease.

'We started talking about kids for about an hour and the school system.'

Red carpet beauties: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the premiere of The Tourist in Madrid, Spain, last night


She's been working hard to promote her new movie The Tourist, pulling out all the stops for her red carpet outfits for the film's various European premieres.

But last night Angelina Jolie looked better than ever as she arrived at the Madrid premiere in Spain wearing a unusual dress with a jewelled top and billowing black skirt.

The 35-year-old actress teamed the look with a matching black shawl and the best accessory of all - her Hollywood heartthrob partner Brad Pitt on her arm.


Sparkles: Angelina's dress was very festive for the occasion


However, Brad, 46, couldn't match Angelina in terms of red carpet style, and showed up in a pair of less-than-flattering black leather trousers.

It's the second time in a week Brad has rolled out the leathers, which are arguably much too young for a man of his age.

Perhaps he was trying to take some fashion tips from Angelina's co-star Johnny Depp, who somehow always manages to pull off the quirky style, despite being a year older than Brad at 47.

But Angelina didn't seem to mind, smiling beatifically as she posed for photographers with her beau.


Stunning: Angelina held tight to Brad as they posed for photographers at the event


Brad and Angelina have been busy jetting around Europe over the past week, with Brad joining his partner on the red carpet at the various premieres.

However, Angelina admitted yesterday that she was enjoying her time in Spain more than some of her other European stops, because she likes drinking in the Spanish culture.

She said: 'I love Madrid and Barcelona mainly for art and great food.
'There are extraordinary museums and collections of art here.'


Questionable style: Brad rolled out his leather trousers for the second time in a week for the premiere, teaming them with a shiny shirt, black jacket and boots


Meanwhile, it has been claimed Brad and Angelina are planning to finally marry at the Adhyatm Vigyan Satsang Kendra healing centre, in Jodhpur, north-west India, on Valentine's Day (February 4th) next year.

According to the Hinudstani Times, the pair have been taking yoga lessons from the temple's leader Siddh Guru Ramlal Siyag, for years and believe he is the perfect person to conduct their Indian ceremony.

Also at the premiere last night was Angelina's co-star Depp, who had gone for a more scrubbed-up look for the premiere compared for the 'cowboy chic' style he had shown off at the film's photocall earlier in the day.

In sharp contrast, Angelina had stuck to her wardrobe staple of black as she arrived at the photocall, accessorising her black top and trousers with a fluffy white bolero.


Scrubs up well: Angelina's co-star Johnny Depp looked smart in a black suit, in contrast to his scruffy look at the film's photocall earlier in the day


The Tourist tells the story of Frank (Depp), an American tourist who travels to Italy in a bid to mend his broken heart. While there, he bumps into a woman called Elise (Jolie), who isn't quite as she seems.

Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, the film, a remake of the 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer, has already been tipped for Oscars and has earned both Angelina and Depp Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress.

Talking about the film recently, Jolie said she enjoyed the role because she got the opportunity to explore a different fashion side to herself in 1950's, Grace Kelly-inspired chic outfits.

Depp has been nominated for a Golden Globe for best actor in a comedy/musical for The Tourist, despite the fact that it didn't do well at the box office.
