Shia LaBeouf’s New Girlfriend Is Super-Talented Brit

shia-lebeouf-dating-carey-mulligan

Looks like those Megan Fox rumors were off the mark. Shia LaBeouf has been stepping out with new girlfriend Carey Mulligan, who we predict is going to be a big star. The British actress is soon to be seen in Brothers opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, is about to shoot Brighton Rock with Helen Mirren and has already been seen on the big screen in Public Enemies with Johnny Depp.

We’ve already caught Carey in a starring role in this fall’s forthcoming An Education and she is absolutely amazing. If you haven’t heard about this girl already, then movie star boyfriend + incredible acting talent = Kate Winslet-style fame soon enough. [Photo: Splash News Online]

Comic-Con: Geek Fest No More

attendees

What was once an intimate geekapalooza has now evolved into a gathering of the hottest bodies in Hollywood. The beautiful people continue to flock to San Diego for this weekend’s annual Comic-Con, which celebrates the comic book’s contribution to mainstream culture. Zoe Saldana, Kristen Bell, Olivia Wilde, Audrina Patridge, Megan Fox, Cameron Diaz, and of course the cast of New Moon are some of the attendees heating things up. Often elusive but always gorgeous Johnny Depp even made a surprise appearance when friend and director Tim Burton presented their highly anticipated film, Alice in Wonderland. With the influx of celebrities at Comic-Con in recent years, we just hope there are still plenty of these guys wandering the booths. [Photos: Getty Images]

Separated At Birth?

As rumors fly that Johnny Depp will play The Riddler in the next installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, Mickey Rourke seems to be a shoe-in for The Joker. Shoot, he wouldn’t even need much hair and make-up! Although clean-shaven, Mickey looked a bit straggly entering the Jean-Paul Gaultier show at Paris Fashion Week. The new bob is for his role in another popular comic book to big screen series, Iron Man 2. He stars as Whiplash. Sneak a peek after the jump. [Photos: Getty Images, Warner Bros.]

Bale And Depp, Not BFF’s

Johnny Depp has a famously good professional relationship with Tim Burton, and he must get along well enough with the cast and crew of Pirates of the Caribbean to make three movies with them, but when it came time to work with Christian Bale, the two actors kept their distance from one another.

While working on Public Enemies, which comes out in theaters today, the actors barely talked to one another off camera. Bale says that when he met Depp on-set, that was the first time they had ever spoken. “We didn’t know each other in the slightest. In fact, I met him at the script reading. We chatted for five or 10 minutes. Then we met again on the set during our two scenes together.”

Since the two play rivals in the film (Depp plays John Dillinger and Bale plays Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent bent on killing Dillinger), Bale explained that his method of acting didn’t allow for a lot of socialization with his co-star. “I wish to not talk unless we’re doing the scene. I enjoy it that way. Johnny seemed happy to do it that way, too. So the answer is: No, we really didn’t get to know each other better between each take. So I guess I’ll have to wait and get to know Johnny Depp someday.”

Style Wars: Johnny Depp Vs. Christian Bale

There’s no arguing that Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are two of the sexiest and most talented actors in Hollywood. Last night they premiered their gangster flick, Public Enemies, in LA. While Johnny went for a tame, but very blue, version of his usually rebellious red carpet style, Christian donned a classic, albeit blasé, look.

Other stars who glam’d up for the premiere included Public Enemies co-star Marion Cotillard, Rosario Dawson, Amber Heard, and Leelee Sobieski.

Johnny Depp Tips Waiter $4,000

Lucky you if you’re a waitress and Johnny Depp sits in your section! Apparently the star is quite generous, and recently tipped $4,000 on his dinner at Chicago steakhouse Gibsons.

Mohammed A . Sekhani, a veteran waiter at Chicago’s legendary steakhouse Gibsons, said, “Johnny and his party arrived just after 11:30pm at the restaurant and requested a private room. He had visited our restaurant several times before while he was filming Public Enemies and he promised me that he would return after the premiere.”

“He was in good spirits throughout the evening chatting with Mr. Mann and Miss Cotillard. He is a very soft spoken guy who is very charming and sweet – when I wait for him he doesn’t like to be too fussed over and is not in any way demanding. He may be one of the most famous actors in the world but he is a very humble guy and a really cool dude. Obviously, I was delighted with his tip but he has always been very generous.”

That was a good night! [Source: WWTDD; Photo: Getty Images]

Johnny Depp And Anne Hathaway Transform For Alice In Wonderland

We’re not huge Tim Burton fans, but these new pictures from his upcoming adaptation of Alice In Wonderland have us lusting for more of the weird world he’s created for the film. Pictured above are Johnny Depp (playing a Madonna-esque Mad Hater) and Anne Hathaway, who looks surprisingly striking as The White Queen. You can peep more pics here.

What do you think of these shots - are they creeping you out or leaving you wanting more weirdness?  [Photos: HuffingtonPost]

Director Dedicates Film To Heath Ledger

Late actor Heath Ledger took a final bow at the Cannes Film Festival, when, at the end of the weekend screening of his final film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, a dedication read “A film from Heath Ledger and friends.”

Director Terry Gilliam said that Heath practically co-directed the film. “Heath was just brilliant at it. He got everybody else going. Everybody was just energized by Heath,” he said. “He was extraordinary. He was almost exhausting because he had so much energy.”

After Heath’s sudden death in January 2008, Jude Law, Colin Farrell, and Johnny Depp stepped up to finish the role left by the Australian actor. [Photo: Getty Images]

Kate Moss To Write Autobiography

kate-moss1

Kate Moss is finally going to open up and speak at length about her scandalous life. The notoriously silent-with-the-press supermodel has signed a deal with Virgin Books to pen her autobiography, and this prospect has us salivating in excitement. Johnny Depp! The Primrose Hill set scandals! The Pete Doherty drug years! Going to rehab! Johnny Depp (again)!

But apparently, it’s not going to be a warts-and-all confession, just something to “set the record straight, but not betray any trust,” says Grazia mag. Boo. Still, Kate’s had enough drama in her life to make any book about her a must-read. She’s already cancelled one book deal a few years back, so we’re keeping fingers crossed she doesn’t change her mind. [Photo: Splash News Online]
