Are Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf Dating?


I've been hearing loud whispers (an oxymoron, I realize) that costars Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf are dating. Okay, maybe Megan and Shia are not dating, but it's very possible that they're hooking up offscreen.
What about Megan's tumultuous romance with Brian Austin Green?
Recently, the tabloids went wild when Megan's car was seen parked outside of Shia's home. Sounds innocent enough, right? The suspicions arose because the car was there at a very early hour. Later that morning, they were seen grabbing coffee - together.
The movie has already wrapped, so what could they have been working on so early in the morning? Megan and Shia's upcoming film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is scheduled to be released on June 24. Do I smell a publicity stunt?

Angelina Jolie Calls for More Action to End Darfur Crisis


Angelina Jolie has written a new article for Time magazine, calling for more action to end the crisis in Darfur.On Friday, members of the United Nations Security Council will learn the results of the International Criminal Court's Darfur investigation.

"The evidence the prosecutor has presented is clear and compelling," Jolie writes, pointing out that "millions of people have been displaced" and "hundreds of thousands have been killed."Jolie recalls her first trip to Chad to visit refugees from Darfur in 2004.

Since then, she sadly notes, "nothing changed."Despite the Bush administration labeling the Darfur situation as "genocide," Jolie says the words have not "compelled us to intervene."Says the actress (who turned 36 Thursday): "Darfur has almost disappeared from the news, and experts now call it a 'low intensity" conflict.' But the intensity of the crisis has not lessened for those who are struggling to survive."


"More than 250,000 people from Darfur have lived destitute lives in refugee camps in Chad for six years now," says the mother of six. "Camps with more than two million internally displaced persons inside Darfur are even worse. Thirty percent of those displaced are school-age children. Girls leaving the camps are raped; boys leaving the camps are killed. They want an education; they want to go back to their villages, to their land; they want peace. But they also want justice."

Taylor Swift loves single life

Taylor Swift isn't looking for love.The 19-year-old singer - who previously dated Jonas Brothers star Joe Jonas - is confident romance will strike when she least expects it.She said: "I don't look for boyfriends. I don't really scour the awards shows for who I'm going to date, but I think love happens when you're not looking for it, and when it happens, I'm not going to be the one to over think it."


The 'Love Story' star insists she doesn't care what her prospective partners do or how they affect her career, and she would never use her relationships for publicity.She added: "When you strategise a relationship too much, like, 'We're not going to be public about it, and we're going to say this in interviews,' when you think it all out, I think that complicates the relationship. I think that's unfair for the relationship."



Taylor also quashed rumours of rivalry with fellow teen stars Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, insisting they are lucky as their careers allow them to be friends.She explained: "I've always approached this from the place where I don't compete with other girls. I don't compete with other people in the industry, I compete with myself. If I looked at every other girl in the entertainment industry as competition, my life would be really lonely."I wouldn't have some of the coolest friends that I'm so glad I've gotten to know over the last couple of years. It's really awesome to get to hang out with those girls and to call them friends."

Mary Steenburgen Celebrity Profile - Check out the latest Mary Steenburgen photo gallery



Curly haired , sandy-voiced actress Mary Steenburgen is a natural when it comes to playing Southerners, probably because she hails from the region herself. Born in Arkansas on February 8, 1953, Steenburgen was the daughter of a railroad employee.
Pursuing drama in college, she headed to New York in 1972,... where she worked with an improvisational troupe. She was spotted by Jack Nicholson, who cast her as his feisty "in name only" frontier wife in 1978's Goin' South. Two years later, she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance as Melvin Dummar's inamorata in Melvin and Howard (1980). Able to convey a wide age and character range, Steenburgen was effectively cast as a free-spirited Frisco girl in Time After Time (1979), the corseted matriarch of a turn-of-the-century household in Ragtime (1981), prim authoress Marjorie Rawlins in Cross Creek (1983), a long-suffering suburban housewife in Parenthood (1989), and a Marcia Clark-like attorney in Philadelphia (1993).


She also portrayed the Jules Verne-loving Western schoolmarm Clara in Back to the Future 3 (1990), a role she perpetuated (via voice-over) on the Back to the Future TV cartoon series. In 1988, she was executive producer of End of the Line, in which she also appeared. Steenburgen's film appearances throughout the 1990s were erratic: some highlights, in addition to Philadelphia, include What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), Nixon (1995), and The Grass Harp (1995). In 1999, she starred as Noah's wife in the biblical epic Noah's Ark, sharing the screen with the likes of Jon Voight, F. Murray Abraham, James Coburn, and Carol Kane. Formerly married for several years to actor Malcolm McDowell, Steenburgen married former Cheers star Ted Danson in 1995. The two have collaborated on a number of projects, including 1994's Pontiac Moon and the made-for-TV Gulliver's Travels in 1996. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
