It's one of the most anticipated pictures of the year, and today (October 28) "The Rum Diary" has made its long-awaited release into theaters.
Adding the high level of appeal to the action/drama flick is its stellar cast, which includes big screen favorite Johnny Depp and his two talented co-stars Amber Heard and Aaron Eckhart.
Per IMDB’s website, “The Rum Diary” involves an American journalist named Paul Kemp who takes on a freelance job in Puerto Rico for a local newspaper during the 1950s - during which time he struggles to find a balance between island culture and the ex-patriots who live there.
While talking about production of the film during a recent interview, Miss Heard told press, "I'm in a 1958 Corvette convertible on an empty highway. It's a beautiful spring day in Puerto Rico. And I'm making a movie with Johnny Depp. He's a beautiful specimen of a human being," adding, "It was a wildly, wildly seductive combination. That moment quite possibly has ruined every other job for me."
After a lavish night out at the Chateau Marmont, Sandra Bullock was spotted catching a departing flight out at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday (October 28).

Last night, Ms Bullock presented a tribute to the late Elizabeth Taylor at the annual amfAR Inspiration Gala.
And during the ritzy soiree, Bullock’s agents’ were awarded a piece of art called “Peaches” created by the infamous Andy Warhol when they bid on it for $14,000.

Although she’s stayed mum about her rumored pregnancy, Jess recently tweeted a picture of her feet dangling while sitting on a toilet, with a caption reading, “Short girl problems.”
Word has it, Simpson is waiting to be offered the right price by a gossip magazine for an exclusive baby announcement featuring the star and her fiance Eric Johnson.
After enjoying a few days in the Big Apple, Jessica Biel was spotted arriving at JFK Airport to catch a departing flight on Friday (October 28).
The “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” hottie looked super cute in a dress and high boots paired with a blazer as she happily smiled for the on-hand photogs.
Last night, Ms Biel –accompanied by on/off beau Justin Timberlake- attended the Fashion Group International 28th Annual Night of Stars event held at Cipriani 55 Wall Street.
The soiree was hosted by Simon Doonan, and Jessica presented an award alongside Star Honoree Giambattista Valli.
Stringing together an all-star ensemble, Gerard Butler, Sam Worthington and Matthew McConaughey have signed on to the CG 3-D action/thriller "Thunder Run."
Teaming up their talents for the Simon West film, the trio of Hollywood heavyweights are set to take the lead roles in the big screen adaption of the novel "Thunder Run: The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie “aims to recount the capture of Baghdad by American forces at the start of the Iraq War in 2003. The three-day assault was referred as a ‘lightning strike’ or thunder run.'"
Set to begin production in 2012, the picture will strive to "paint the harrowing picture of the soldiers on the front lines and the realities of modern warfare.”
Showing the world that she’s still got it, Geri Halliwell stripped down to nothing but lingerie for a recent photoshoot promoting her new collection called “Geri By Next.”
The former “Spice Girls” gal looked smokin’ hot in a variety of sexy bras and underwear as she confidently worked it for the camera.
Keeping the fellas in mind, the 39-year-old and British retail giants Next came up with a line for women that men would also like.
Geri told press, "I feel I understand women's bodies. This was my chance to do the sort of underwear for girls that the boys would like too, if you know what I mean!"
Getting down to business on their latest flick, Christian Bale and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were spotted filming scenes for “The Dark Knight Rises” in New York City on Friday (October 28).
The handsome co-stars both looked focused as Bale sported a suit and tie for his role as Bruce Wayne while Gordon-Levitt donned a Gotham police officer’s uniform.
For today’s production, the Trump Tower was temporarily transformed into Wayne Enterprises and hundreds of spectators lined the streets in hopes of catching a glimpse of the famous actors.
According to NJ.com, director Christopher Nolan and his cast which also consists of Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard and Tom Hardy will be filming for two days next week in Newark, New Jersey.
It's the family friendly flick everyone has been waiting for, and now, "Puss in Boots" has made its much-anticipated theatrical debut just in time for the weekend box office.
Directed my Chris Miller, the "Shrek" spin-off is spearheaded by an A-list cast, including Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas, Zach Galifianakis and Billy Bob Thornton.
Recently proclaiming how lucky she was to nab role that inspires so much female power, Salma (who voices Kitty Softpaws) told press, "I’ll tell you, I have a great win in this one. Everything [Puss] does, I outsmart him."
Miss Hayek added, “How many times do you get a part where the female outsmarts [the male lead] every time in every way? And I’m always one step ahead, and [Kitty’s] actually a comprehensive character. I love her—I love her because she starts out one thing and she finishes as something else. [The movie] has an arc, it has a dramatic arc, and I think that Kitty Softpaws is a great female character, one of the few wonderful ones out there."
She’s still getting used to her Royal status, and last night (October 26) Kate Middleton attended the In Kind Direct charity event in London, England.
The Duchess of Cambridge was sans Prince William as she greeted guests at the Clarence House while raising money for the organization that takes surplus goods from manufacturers and retailers in the UK and gives them to various charities.
And it sounds like Kate was the hit of the party, especially because she received less than 24 hours notice that she was to attend.
"You would never know it was her first solo engagement. It was as if she had been trained by the Prince of Wales," said a source from the charity. “She was completely natural, professional and charmed everyone. She spoke to every single guest and was genuinely interested, and interested in continuing to help."
They’ve handled some of the biggest hits from decades past to today, and the cast of “Glee” taped their 300th musical performance at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles yesterday (October 26).
Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Matthew Morrison and the rest of the gang gathered for a photo after filming “Rumor Has It”/”Someone Like You” which will appear on the November 15th episode.
20th Century Fox Television chairman Dana Walden told press, "This milestone is almost overshadowed by the fact that Glee has now sold more than 35 million downloads and has more Billboard-topping hits than James Brown, Elvis Presley and the Beatles -- basically more than any musical act in history.”
“[With] more than 11 million albums sold worldwide, [Glee] is truly a phenomenon when you consider that this group has done all of that."
Making the second stop on their Euro press tour, "Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Ashley Greene were busy promoting "Breaking Dawn" in Brussels on Wednesday (October 26).
The Edward Cullen hunk and his Alice Cullen co-star first partook in Q&A session - during which time a fan asked for three birthday kisses from Rob - a request in which he kindly obliged.
The "Twilight" co-stars proceeded to change into fancier garb while heading to Square Brussels for the Belgium premiere of the vampire saga's fourth installment.
With less than a month remaining before release, "Breaking Dawn" is set to take over theaters worldwide on November 18th - with the film finding "the Quileute and the Volturi close in on expecting parents Edward and Bella, whose unborn child poses different threats to the wolf pack and vampire coven."
