The Watch 


Rated R for some strong sexual content including references, pervasive language and violent images.
What's the Story?

Starring Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn and British television star Richard Ayoade, "The Watch" pokes fun at oppressive, masculinity-robbing suburban culture.

As a way of letting loose and reclaiming their manhood, the guys ban together to regulate the 'hood. Along the way they discover something really strange -- and dangerous -- infiltrating their surroundings, and they are the only ones who can stop it.

Who Will Dig It?

Dudes. Dudes who like to do dude-like things (like pee in weird places). Dudes who are dads. Dudes who fantasize about saving their family and the world from an alien invasion.

When Anne Hathaway lost a dramatic amount of weight for her role in Les Miserables (combined with a face-changing crop hair cut) her appearance was somewhat shocking.

But what shocked the A-list star were the false reports about how she managed to lose weight and what diet she followed something she's dubbed 'dangerous'.

While promoting The Dark Knight Rises the brunette beauty told omg!'s reporter:

"When they [journalists] write things about the weight loss I did for Les Mis and they publish a diet that had nothing to do with what I did and people believe it to be true I think that's really dangerous."

One example would be when a quote was taken out of context from an interview Anne did with Allure magazine - reports appeared that she lived on a diet of radish and hummus!

Kristen Stewart cheating news sparks grief, rage from ‘Twilight’ fan. Clearly a fan of the Twilight movies and books, detailing her thoughts on the scandal. 

Speaking into the camera, the young woman starts out relatively calmly. "I said I wasn't going to make a video about this because I didn't want it to be true because I thought that it (the photo of Kristen smooching Rupert) was Photoshopped."

If only. Once she realized that the photos were real and Stewart had apologized, the gloves came off and the tear ducts opened for business.

Film now delayed after US shootings, Warner Bros has decided to postpone the release of 'Gangster Squad' in light of the Denver massacre.

Gangster Squad release postponed following shootings, Warner Bros is postponing the release of period mob thriller 'Gangster Squad', due to scenes which feature a massacre in a cinema.

The studio was said to be planning re-shoots for the film because of the nature of the scene in light of the shootings in Denver last week.

Now it has emerged that the release date, which was set for September in the US and November in the UK, has been moved entirely to accommodate the changes.

It's likely that the film will now be released in January instead, due to the complex schedules of the film's stars.

Among them are big-hitters like Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

The offending scene features a group of agents with machine guns opening fire on an audience from the other side of a cinema screen.

It also featured in the trailer.

Kristen Stewart admits married man fling, The 'Twilight' star released a statement admitting an 'indiscretion' with married director Rupert Sanders.

Kristen Stewart admits to cheating on Robert Pattinson, our jaws drop, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson seemed like one of the most solid couples in showbiz. 

The fact that they kept their relationship so private, yet seemed so loved up any time they were pictured together pretty much gave us relationship envy each time we laid eyes on them.

So the rumours this morning that Kristen Stewart had cheated on Robert Pattinson seriously shocked us. And her admission that the rumours were true is even more jaw-dropplingly unbelievable.

Kristen Stewart has released a statement confirming that she cheated on Robert Pattinson with the Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, who's married with two children.

Kristen Stewart's statement is pretty much one big apology to Robert Pattinson, but we're still picking our jaw up off the floor reading it.

Kristen says: "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."

Rupert Sanders' wife, Liberty Ross, also starred in Snow White and the Huntsman, meaning the trio have all met.

Rupert quickly hit back with a statement of his own, saying: "I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."

However, just yesterday Liberty Ross tweeted the quote: "sometimes bad things fall apart so better things can fall together," before deleting her Twitter account.

So far, Robert Pattinson is yet to comment on the news. We're seriously reeling.

At least 3 men accused of making threats during or after watching the new Batman movie have been arrested in separate incidents, underscoring moviegoers' anxieties and heightened security in the wake of a deadly mass shooting at a Colorado theater showing the film.

A Maine man was arrested when he told authorities that he was on his way to shoot a former employer a day after watching "The Dark Knight Rises," Maine state police said Monday.

Timothy Courtois of Biddeford, Maine, had been stopped for speeding, and a police search of his car found an AK-47 assault weapon, four handguns, ammunition and news clippings about the mass shooting that left 12 people dead early Friday, authorities said.

Former graduate student James Holmes, 24, is accused of opening fire in a theater in a Denver suburb. The shooting also injured 58 people.

Courtois said he had attended the Batman movie on Saturday, although police have not confirmed whether he actually saw the film.

"I guess we're taking everything at face value," State Police Lt. Kevin Donovan said. "It's very scary."

Police searched Courtois' home later Sunday and found a machine gun, several other guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

"We don't know what his true intentions were," said Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety. "Based on the arsenal that was confiscated, we brought in our counterparts from the FBI and ATF to assist with the investigation."

Courtois was charged with speeding and possession of a concealed weapon.

In Southern California, a man at a Sunday afternoon showing of the film was arrested after witnesses said he made threats and alluded to the Aurora shooting when the movie didn't start.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were called to a cinema complex in Norwalk after moviegoers said 52-year-old Clark Tabor shouted: "I should go off like in Colorado." They said he then asked: "Does anybody have a gun?"

A security guard saw Tabor with a backpack on his knees in the second row, but deputies who searched the bag, the theater and its surrounding area did not find any weapon.

The family of suspected gunman James Holmes said they will support the Ph.D student accused of entering a movie theatre last Friday and not leaving until he had killed 12 people and wounded another 58.

Asked if they stand by Holmes, lawyer and family spokeswoman Lisa Damiani said at a press conference today, "Yes they do. He's their son."

Damiani said the family was holding up "as well as anyone could under the circumstances."

"I think everyone can imagine how they're feeling," Damiani said, "anyone who's ever been a parent."

Damiani would not comment on the family's whereabouts or their relationship with Holmes.

The spokeswoman said the family had spoken to investigators from California, but had not been contacted by police in Colorado.

A last-minute outing led Brandon and Taryn DiRito into a nightmare they can't shake. Brandon DiRito, 16, was having a great day.

 He played his last baseball game of the season with his teammates, went bowling with his big sister and friends, hung out with his girlfriend and then found out that he had scored tickets to the midnight premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises," even though he and his friends had waited until Thursday afternoon to buy them for the showing later that night.

Brandon, his sister Taryn DiRito and his girlfriend, Samantha Ginsburg, were accompanied by three friends uliana Curtis, Jessica Almand and Cole Pentland; they picked the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora because of how cheap the tickets were (only $6.50).
