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

Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon has finally confirmed news of her third pregnancy.
 
The 36-year-old actress has been spotted with a baby bump on numerous occasions but never came out to confirm it. She also said that she plans to take time off after finishing her new movie Devil's Knot with Colin Firth, reported Aceshowbiz.
 
'Frankly, I'm feeling very round. I'm always feeling like I'd like to eat everything in sight. I'm going to take a little time off -- and go have a baby,' Witherspoon said on the red carpet of the Renaissance Award in a ceremony at The Ritz-Carlton.
 
'Devil's Knot is a very American story that revolves around "a crime that occurred in 1993 in Arkansas,' she added. 

Showing off her baby bump in a blue Vanessa Bruno dress, she accepted the prize from Academy Award winner Alexander Payne, who directed her in 1999's critically acclaimed Election.
 
Witherspoon is married to Hollywood talent agent Jim Toth, who she married in March 2011. The upcoming baby will be their first child together.

She was previously married to actor Ryan Phillippe, with whom she has two kids, 12-year-old daughter Ava and eight-year-old son Deacon.

After Charlie Sheen, actors Aaron Eckhart and Jamie Foxx are all set to play US President in their respective films.
 
While The Dark Knight star Eckhart, 44, has been confirmed to play the role in Olympus Has Fallen, Foxx is still in talks to take up the top role in new film White House Down, reported Contactmusic.
 
Olympus Has Fallen has been directed by Antoine Fuqua and is the story of a former Secret Service agent, who becomes America's only hope when the White House is overtaken by terrorists. Actor Gerard Butler will play the heroic bodyguard in the film which he will also produce.
 
White House Down, which has been directed by Roland Emmerich is remarkably similar to Olympus Has Fallen.
 
The action-thriller is about a secret service agent, who must act when the White House comes under attack and everyone
inside, including the president, is held hostage.
 
Channing Tatum is in talks to play the agent who must save the president when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is taken over
by a paramilitary group.
