New photo from Harry Potter: PT. 2

Here's a new spoilerish photo from the set of Harry Potter Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which shows us there aren't going to be many survivors at the end of the movie. This is actually a pretty depressing picture with all the dead Hogwarts students lying in the background. 
David Yates has directed the final Potter movie, and it's scheduled to be released on July 15th 2011.

Robert Pattinson is Edward Cullen, but Edward Cullen is not Robert Pattinson.

The "Twilight" and soon-to-be "Water for Elephants" star opens up in a candid, thoughtful interview with Italy's Style Magazine. The actor best known for being a vampire talks about his childhood, his relationships, his career, and, oh, his co-star Kristen Stewart, whom most assume he's been dating for a number of years.
Here's an excerpt of what he has to say; the full interview, translated to English, includes talk about his favorite actors, his childhood and more, andis available here.
On being an actor, and avoiding the trappings of fame:
I came to a point where I said: I'm going to be a professional actor, looking for the origins of my characters, making something real out of this ephemeral job. This will allow me to live the life I want to live, to be active in green politics, to be a citizen of the world. Fame is an handicap, not a privilege, it often complicates things. I try to not fall in the web of top class hotels, first-class flights, designers sending you tons of stuff, thousands of girls everywhere.
On keeping his private life private, including talk of Kristen Stewart, his rumored girlfriend:
My private life is off-limit. I've never spoken about my flirts, I'm not a man for short and superficial love affairs. I don't talk about my relationships with female friends, not to mention how I don't talk about my relationship with Kristen Stewart, an actress I admire because she's a real person, and a real actress. It was the chemistry I had with her helped me to get my role in Twilight. I don't let people take pics of the houses I rented both in New York and London. When I'm in L.A. I live mostly in hotels. You can live very well in the anonymity of a hotel room, especially when you have a piano to play.
And on his romantic future, and his outlook on settling down:
This is me, just me: I'm not interested in casual relationships, I need to know people, I'm not making an existential statement here: simply, I want a family, with 2 or 3 kids. Not funny? I really wish I could talk to animals more than to people who think they know me just from my movies.
Luckily for Pattinson, it seems he and Stewart are on the same page. In June, "Twilight" producer Wyck Godfrey outed the two as a couple, saying:
The thing I do think about is, Oh my God, I hope they stay together. Because it could be awkward on set in the next movie if they have a huge falling out. It's like, Wow, they have to portray this love story through two more movies. God, I hope they stay together; please stay together. That's what affects my day-to-day... I think we're heading to that place where they are together and that's their life and we better find someone new to create drama out of.

Penelope Cruz exposed fellow actor Johnny Depp's penchant for practical jokes when speaking of him during a recent interview.

The Spanish beauty revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that Johnny owns a machine that made her believe she'd broken wind when filming Blow in 2001 (pictured).

The 37-year-old - who is getting back into the swing of work after 
recently giving birth - said: "I was doing a very dramatic close-up. [Using a remote control] he kept making that sound with the machine…"

"I was just thinking I hope they are not thinking it's me! And Johnny was standing there with a straight face."

The actors were reunited recently while working on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Penelope - now wise to the joke - watched Johnny fool the film's producer and director.

Exiled Tibetan leaders to seek public opinion about Dalai Lama's future role in government


Spokesman Thupten Samphel says the parliament-in-exile will hold an open meeting in May to invite public opinion about shifting the Nobel Peace laureate's political power to elected leaders.

The Dalai Lama has insisted on resigning as political leader but will remain spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism.

Samphel said Friday most lawmakers oppose fully erasing the 17th-century link between the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government, and so "would use public opinion ... to request the Dalai Lama to maintain some connection."

A parliamentary committee report on amending the constitution to make the changes is due April 11.

'Captain America': A different kind of superhero

USA Today
MANCHESTER, England — The trend in comic-book movies has been toward protagonists with a darker edge, a personal flaw or weakness, or maybe even a mean streak. Think Robert Downey Jr.'s charismatic narcissist in Iron Man, Hugh Jackman's scowling Wolverine, two tragic Hulks, and Christian Bale's morally dubious Batman.

On the Captain America set in this city in northwestern England, which stands in for 1940s Brooklyn, weakling wannabe soldier Steve Rogers gets an injection that turns him into a brawny, herculean fighting machine. It's the birth of Captain America, played by Chris Evans.
 
"Steve has been dealt kind of a lousy hand in life," Evans says. "He's 5-foot-nothing. He's 110 pounds. He's got a lot of ailments, but it hasn't made him bitter or jaded or anything. Even after he's given this great gift, he still continues to do the right thing, not to prove anything to anyone other than himself. He just has this great moral code."

The Marvel Comics character began in March 1941, before the USA entered World War II. "The first cover issue of Cap punching Hitler was definitely a political statement," says producer Stephen Broussard (The Incredible Hulk). "Like today, the country was divided and there were people who thought we should go over there and do the right thing, and there were others who said it was Europe's war and to stay out of it."
The new film, set for release July 22, remains faithful to that origin. Cap's first assignment from the U.S. government is to be the centerpiece in a traveling stage show, raising morale and money in the form of war bonds.
Eventually, he finds he has to break off on his own to fight the German menace — particularly a dangerous new foe played by The Matrix's Hugo Weaving, a Nazi technology officer known as the Red Skull, the guinea pig for a similar super-soldier experiment gone awry.

"Captain America was invented essentially for American propaganda. I mean, who was going to be like, 'Nah, the Nazis, they were OK. They had a few (good ideas)!' " Evans jokes.

"It's safe to say we can all agree it's pure evil, right there. So it's fantastic to create a character of pure good, pure honesty and true morality, and say this is ultimate bad against ultimate good."
