Two of Hollywood’s most talented actors Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe have combined their efforts for one of the most talked about movies of the year, American Gangsters. The actors showed up at premiere of American Gangster yesterday and spoke a few works with press about about the movie and how it was like to work together again, because Academy Award-winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe first acted opposite each other a dozen years ago in Virtuosity a sci-fi crime thriller set in virtual reality.

American Gangster, directed and produced by Ridley Scott whose credits include “Blade Runner,” “Black Hawk Down” and “Gladiator,” is is based on the real life exploits of Frank Lucas, a Harlem heroin kingpin, and Richie Roberts, the cop who brought him to justice, as originally chronicled in a New York Magazine article by Mark Jacobson entitled “The Return of Superfly.”

It’s not about a heavyweight fight. What it is, is much more like two (guitarists) playing together, two people singing together…. If you can blend, if you can harmonize and you can sing together still from two completely separate points of view, now you are talking.

One of the most admired Hollywood actress, Halle Berry has showed off her baby bump on the red carpet at the Rome premiere of her new movie, Things We Lost in The Fire. The Hollywood actress shined at the film festival highlighting her little pregnant belly which makes her look more happy about about it on every occasion. The 41-year-old actress is four months pregnant and is enjoying her life as a mother-to-be even when she was having morning sickness. Halle, who is very excited of expecting her first child, admitted she has yet to discover whether it’s a boy or a girl.

In the movie “Things We Lost in the Fire,” Halle portrays a widow with children struggling to survive. The subject matter deals with tragedy and the struggle to overcome pain, loss, and recovery as she invites her late husband’s best friend, played by Benicio Del Toro, to live with them. This role in particular gave Halle a “pregnancy” boost and convinced her she must become a mother.

Hollywood actors Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were yesterday in Italy on the fourth day of the Rome Film Festival promoting their recent movie titled Rendition. The political drama, which screened at the festival, was directed by Gavin Hood, and centers the issues of security and terror - a story of an “Egyptian-American engineer abducted by U.S. customs at Washington airport, deported to a North African jail and tortured under the eyes of a CIA agent.”

Reese Witherspoon has recently denied rumors of reports of an on/off romance with Jake by saying to press about that she has a “purely platonic” relationship with Gyllenhaal. In other Celebrity news, Reese credits her brother with helping her recover after her divorce from actor Ryan Phillippe. The 31-year-old actress was devastated with the divorce which was recently finalized.

I have known Jake for years through different friends and he is just wonderful. He’s very kind, generous and funny. It’s been nice these past days to laugh a little bit. Yeah, he’s great and I look forward to maybe making another film with him.
