Teenage actress Hailee Steinfeld is set to bare all in her next film role, it has emerged. In a move that is most likely going to spark controversy, it has been revealed that the 14-year-old True Grit star will appear naked for the next Romeo and Juliet adaptation, which she signed up to earlier in the year.

Julian Fellowes, who has written a copy of the film's script has already defended his decision, saying he wanted to have an age-appropriate actor, just like the Shakespeare originals.

'I wanted Hailee because she is the perfect age. Juliet is at that stage of... what you might call a child/woman. Just like Hailee herself is,' Daily Mail quoted him as saying.

'My version is a romantic story -- one that keeps pretty true to Shakespeare but is, I hope, more accessible,' he added.

Tom Hanks caught unaware at movie premiere

Tom Hank's a double Oscar-winner and has been at the top of Hollywood's A-list for over two decades. But the actor was ill-at-ease when he arrived at the red carpet in London for the world premiere of his new film Larry Crowne, reports the Daily Mail.

The Hollywood legend was caught unawares as he found himself surrounded by reality stars and glamour models at the supposedly glittering premiere for his new film.

The actor looked a little bemused as he posed on the red carpet, probably wishing he had his co-star Julia Roberts by his side to add more star power to the event.

Roberts will undoubtedly show up to promote the film at the LA premiere on June 27, but she left Tom to go it alone at the screening at Westfield shopping centre in London today.

Tom will have had trouble recognising most of the attendees, with the exception perhaps of Ronnie Wood and David Hasselhoff, who both brought along their young girlfriends.

Suri Cruise's shoe collection worth 100K pounds!

Celebrity kids are known to have their own fancies, and so does Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' five-year-old daughter Suri.

The kid reportedly has a designer shoe collection worth over 100,000 pounds and her favourite designers have made most of her high-heeled footwear.

'Suri has so many designer shoes. She's a massive fan of Marc Jacobs and she's had several shoes custom-made, so if they didn't come with a heel, Katie had them redesigned for Suri. She commissioned a pair of Louboutins for her a while back!' Contactmusic quoted a source as saying.

Sources have also said that Suri insists on only wearing high heels and her famous father is happy to indulge her tastes.

'Even when she's going to play dates or walking on the beach, she cries if Katie reaches for anything but a little pair of sandals with some sort of heel. She literally cries, ''No, Mama, no!' And then points to whatever pair she feels like wearing -- no matter how inappropriate!' an insider told Britain's Star magazine.

The wig is expected to haul in between $4,000 and $6,000 -- and the glove is valued between $20,000 and $30,000.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is still standing by his mistress Mildred Baena's side even after it was revealed that he had fathered a child with her.

Sources close to Schwarzenegger, 63, whose personal and professional lives are in ruins, have revealed that he is still financially and emotionally supporting Baena.

'Arnold has been very supportive of Mildred throughout all of this,' RadarOnline quoted the source as saying.

'The scandal going public has really taken a toll on Mildred, so Arnold encourages her not to listen to what people are saying about her and just tells her to stay strong,' the source said.

The source also revealed that Schwarzenegger is there not only for Baena, but also for the 13-year-old son he fathered with her.

'Arnold has always taken care of the boy financially and he's continued to do so generously amid this whole ordeal,' the source added.
