Get your lowdown on what's going on in the world of Hollywood, right here!

Brittany Murphy's last film, Something Wicked, directed by Darin Scott, is set to release next month. 

The film comes four years after the 32-year-old actress succumbed to pneumonia, anemia and multiple drug intoxication in December 2009. Something Wicked was delayed as several scenes had to be re-shot after the actress' death. 

Producer Joe Colleran said the Uptown Girls star plays a psychiatrist and would describe her performance as the most chilling one of her career.

The film also stars Shantel VanSanten, John Robinson, Julian Morris and James Patrick Stuart.

Frontman for The Rolling Stones Mick Jagger has admitted he will never forget his late girlfriend L’Wren Scott, who apparently committed suicide on March 17.

Scott was found hanging from a doorknob by her assistant. 

Jagger admitted on Facebook that he is still struggling to understand how his lover and best friend could end her life in such a tragic manner.

Saying that they had spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for themselves, he added that the late fashion designer had great presence.

The 70-year-old musician also thanked his fans for their support and said he is touched by the tributes that people have paid Scott and by the personal messages he has received.

It is well-known by now that Alec Baldwin hates the media. In a twist that is deliciously ironic, he will star in an upcoming episode of Law And Order as -- gasp! -- part of the media community.

The 55-year-old actor will play hotshot journalist Jimmy McArthur, alongside Mariska Hargitay, who plays Olivia Benson in the television series, reports the New York Post.

Not very long ago, Baldwin had allegedly abused an MSNBC photographer for waiting outside his apartment. He has also written a column in New York magazine where he ranted against the media attention and lack of privacy in the Big Apple.
