Model Kendall Jenner, who was seen walking the runway for luxury brands including Chanel and Balmain at the Paris Fashion Week, has been signed on to endorse fashion brand Calvin Klein.

Kendall took to image-sharing platform Instagram to post some photographs in which she is seen wearing Calvin Klein lingerie and jeans. She has even tagged the official account of the brand, reports mirror.co.uk.

The reality star, who is already the face of cosmetic brand Estee Lauder, is now the face and body of the popular underwear brand, according to New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column.

Singer Justin Bieber was also posting many photographs of himself rocking Calvin Klein briefs online before he was announced as a spokesman for Calvin Klein Jeans in January. The singer generated a huge amount of publicity for the brand after appearing in an advertisement with model Lara Stone as his fans questioned whether his muscles had been photoshopped.

STORY: A group of young scientists create a serum that allows them to resurrect the dead. Making a strong case for why the deceased should remain that way, one of them is transformed into something terrible when the serum is used to revive her.

REVIEW: While this movie dutifully touches upon most horror checkpoints (jump scares etc.), it is probably the only horror flick that introduces something new -mention of something called DMT (referred to as ‘the Spirit Molecule’) in the brain, which according to Frank (Duplass), Zoe (Wilde), Clay (Peters) and Niko (Glover) is of key importance to their experiment. This, coupled with Zoe’s concerns about the moralistic angle of reviving the dead, makes for an interesting build-up. When they resurrect a dog, Zoe asks her fiance Frank, “If we bring a dog back from the dead, are we ripping him out of doggie heaven?”

Their university dean soon pulls the plug on the experiment but they decide to continue with the work, regardless. A lab accident kills Zoe, whom Frank revives with the serum. So, strange chemicals, ethical issues and a sense of ‘what happens next?’ Just when you think things are going to get really interesting, Lazarus gets sloppy in a hurry.

Zoe’s back with superpowers that aren’t really explained. Is she demonically possessed? Has she been to another dimension or realm? Is it some crazy alter-ego?These angles of exploration would have given the film tremendous psychological leverage and impact. But astoundingly, that is avoided. Instead, the sense of foreboding created by the meticulous build-up is dissipated. Zoe is clearly very tormented by something and now wants her friends to share her nightmare.

To be fair, the sense of claustrophobia remains (also, a few scares that will spill your popcorn) and the cast do their salvageable best, but the script gives them precious little to play around with. Apart from the film’s clear message – that if you play God, bad things will happen -Wilde definitely does look scary and indeed, she is the best thing about the movie.

Eva Mendes has admitted that she feels very happy about her therapist as she tells her flaws and tries to correct her and make her a better person.

The ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’ actress said in an interview with Women’s Health that rather than she was lucky to work with someone who doesn’t just nod her head, but also told her what’s wrong with her so that she could fix it up.

The 41-year-old American actress also gushed about her 6-month-old daughter, Esmerelda Amada with boyfriend Ryan Gosling as she loves the sleepless nights with her little girl as that time helps in creating special bond with her.

STORY: The Kingsmen aren’t answerable to governments nor are they externally influenced. When one of them is killed thanks to agent Harry’s (Firth) judgement error, he backs his fallen comrade’s son Eggsy (Egerton) to become a Kingsman. Later, they will have to thwart tech tycoon Valentine’s (Jackson) evil designs, involving mind control and mass murder.

REVIEW: Colin Firth’s performance as an action man is nothing short of a revelation. When the impeccably-suited Harry first meets Eggsy while the latter is a young boy, he gives him a medal bearing an engraved telephone number, for whenever Eggsy is in dire circumstances.

Many years later, Eggsy, now directionless , dials it after a squabble with the law, gives the secret code ( ” Oxfords, not Brogues ” ) and is freed from police custody, no questions asked. Harry then rescues Eggsy from a brutal beating (Harry’s motto being an emphatic “Manners. Maketh. The Man”), busts some smooth moves and Eggsy is impressed enough to want to become a Kingsman. Headed by Arthur (Caine) and trained by Merlin (Strong), Eggsy and the other recruits including a woman, Sophie (Cooks on), face a series of gruelling tests before becoming agents.

Part Bond parody, part serious and a whole lot of camp, you can’t help but laugh (there are plenty of ‘LOL’ moments) at the obvious 007 dig when Eggsy tells a bartender that he’d like his martini with gin, not vodka (“obviously”), stirred a certain number of times whilst staring fixedly at a fresh bottle of vermouth!

Egerton delivers and Jackson is perfect as the villain Valentine whose environmentally-conscious concerns conceal a devious plan for global genocide. His sidekick Gazelle (Boutella) is a vamp plucked straight out a Quentin Tarantino wet dream as does a scene involving hyper-stylized mayhem in a small-town church. Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker, anyone?) also shows up as a genius scientist. Bulletproof brollies that fire bullets, dart spewing wristwatches and cigarette lighter grenades aside, there’s a smooth balance of good humo u r, butt-kicking action and originality too. Kingsman: The Secret Service is a breath of fresh air in the spy movie genre.

Cameron Diaz has posed bra-free for April 2015 issue of Cosmopolitan and said that everyone needs to have sex to lead a healthy life. The ‘Sex Tape’ actress told UK Cosmopolitan in a cover interview that every individual should do exercise to keep themselves healthy, and people who look out for some reasons to walk away from it and states that their body doesn’t allow it but actually their mind restrains them of doing so, the Mirror reported. The 42-year-old actress added that she even treats herself sometimes with a handful of berries and some cake, but instructed the readers not have the whole cake, and have some pieces of it.

Uma Thurman has explained the reason why she rarely smiles on the red carpet saying that she was traumatized about her physical appearance after a childhood incident involving her pearly whites.

The American actress revealed in a recent interview that when she was 10-years-old, someone told her that she had an ugly smile and she spent the whole of her younger years feeling embarrassed and never smiling with her mouth open, Us Magazine reported.

The ‘Kill Bill’ star added that they all lose their looks as they get older and there’ was a beauty to older people that was just different to the beauty of younger people 

STORY: Jazz drummer Andrew (Teller) has tremendous potential and ability. Painfully shy, he lets his drums to the talking. What he craves is that elusive nod of approval from his brutal jazz instructor, Fletcher (Simmons). Easier said than done, as Andrew realizes that Fletcher is a sadistic nightmare of a teacher.

REVIEW: Whiplash explodes on screen like a well-timed artillery barrage. We’re introduced to the two characters in this movie that really matter in the opening scene itself. Illuminated by an overhead light, Andrew is seen practicing in an otherwise dark room at the fictional Shaffer Conservatory of Music. He picks up the tempo on the snare, gradually accelerating to a machine-gun frenzy until Fletcher walks in and Andrew abruptly halts. Their tenuous student-teacher equation begins here.

A devoted Buddy Rich fan with stellar ambitions, Andrew is relentless like no drummer Fletcher has ever taught and the bullet-headed Fletcher is distinctly evocative of Full Metal Jacket’s foul-mouthed, bullying and merciless drill instructor, Sergeant Hartman. Fletcher eschews jazz improvisation for impossibly strict cadences and tempos. And when he asks the band to meet for practice at 9 am, he will enter the room at that very second. Andrew is no slouch in the determination department – he dumps his sweet girlfriend (Benoist) to focus on playing and play he does, till his hands bleed.

Hank Levy’s Whiplash is used by Fletcher with an obsession bordering on derangement; he makes Andrew repeat a five-second, random phrase from the piece, each time expecting him to get the right tempo. It’s never enough, but Fletcher quotes a Charlie “Bird” Parker anecdote as justification for pushing his students beyond the edge.

Some might feel that the depiction of jazz here is too harsh. But then again, Fletcher’s approach is about mastering the underpinning forms and structures before a player explores improvisational methods. The taut editing (Tom Cross) is outstanding and Simmons outdoes himself. When the thumping tom-toms, trombones and tympani fall silent, what you are also left with is a career-topping performance (thus far, at least!) from Miles Teller.

Jessica Chastain has joined the star cast of Universal’s ‘The Huntsman’ opposite Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, it has been reported.

The 37-year-old actress will be reprising her role from the first installment of the Snow White, Deadline.com reported. Emily Blunt has closed her deal to star in the film and Nick Frost will also be returning from the first film, who has now agreed to terms to reprise his role as a dwarf Nion. Frank Darabont, who had been set to direct before bowing out earlier this year, wrote the screenplay, with earlier drafts by Craig Mazin and Evan Spiliotopoulos.

actress Monica Bellucci, who will play the James Bond’s new love interest in “Spectre”, says she wants to be called a “Bond lady” instead of “Bond girl”.

The 50-year-old, who will star opposite Daniel Craig, 46, in the film believes the youthful term “Bond girl” is no longer applicable to her character, reports dailymail.co.uk. “My first thought was, ‘How can I be a Bond girl at 50?’ After my audition (director) Sam Mendes told me that, for the first time in history, he wanted a woman of a similar age to the actor playing Bond,” she said.

“I told Sam he would be a hero among women for casting me in ‘Spectre’. “Compared to the Bond girls who have gone before me, I am so much more mature. I’d prefer to be called a Bond woman or perhaps a Bond lady,” she added.

‘Spectre’ is slated to release Nov 6, 2015.

Scarlett Johansson is set to take the lead in the Kristin Gore -scripted film based on the Jon Ronson book ‘ The Psychopath Test.’ 

The thriller, which will be directed by Jay Roach, will be produced by Brian Grazer along with Roach and his Everyman Pictures banner, and Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey, Deadline.com reported.

Ronson, who wrote ‘The Men Who Stare At Goats,’ here tackles how the medical community, who tries to diagnose and classify an elusive group: remorseless, deadly psychopaths, say one out of every hundred people is a psychopath, devoid of empathy, manipulative, deceitful, charming, seductive, and delusional. The book, which explores their world and the madness industry, is published by Picador and Riverhead Books and was a bestseller in the US and the UK.

STORY: Based on best-selling author Cecelia Ahern’s novel ‘Where Rainbows End’, Love, Rosie is the story of two childhood friends, Rosie (Lily Collins) and Alex (Sam Claflin), who ‘keep missing each other in love’. Long distance, failed marriages, even spats can’t wear away the connection between the two people who always have other’s back and turn to each other to seek solace. Do they end up living ‘happily ever after’? Well, it’s a rom-com

REVIEW: In 1989, Harry Burns professed his love for Sally Albright in ‘When Harry Met Sally…’ because ‘he knew whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and he wanted the rest of his life to start as soon as possible’. Two-and-a-half decades later, with a new crop of actors, Love, Rosie attempts the same with formulaic candy-floss romance from Nora Ephron’s memorable film and is quite successful in warming the cockles of our hearts.

Playing childhood BFFs, Collins and Claflin bring forth an enchanting chemistry. It is a pre-requisite for any romantic comedy to bring on screen the tangibility of their romance. The actors make Rosie and Alex’s bonding affable. Their familiarity forms the crux of their romance and their ability to take each other for granted has a relatable vein to it.

Disaster strikes when Alex moves to Harvard to study medicine and Rosie’s unplanned pregnancy (not with Alex’s child) separates them. She decides to withhold the information and, suddenly, their lives take starkly disparate paths. The story establishes them as two flawed characters who visibly complete each other. Director Christian Ditter brings this out beautifully through tender scenes, like the one where Rosie discloses the truth about her baby to Alex and he asks if he could be the godfather.

There are many hiccups in this drama. Using the track ‘Push It’ during a childbirth sequence is enraging, but the warm sunshine-filled lovable frames purge these flaws. The film’s ribald humour, like a condom mishap and another S&M disaster provide good laughs(sans sleaze).

Love, Rosie is quaint comfort-cinema that makes for an amiable watch.

Keira Knightley has revealed that she used to get targeted by paparazzi and was called a whore when she was 18-year-old.

During her appearance on ‘TimesTalks,’ the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actress said that she used to feel weird that almost 20-30 men called her a whore just to get a reaction whenever she stepped out of the house, and click pictures under the skirt, E! Online reported.

The 29-year-old actress added that thankfully now things were different and felt blessed to have a happy married life and expecting her first baby with husband James Righton.
