Leo and Kate may be sharing the big screen for the first time since 1997's 'Titanic,' but 'Revolutionary Road' is very different from what one may expect from these reunited Golden Globe nominees and the pair shared that working with a familiar co-star made the experience easier and more rewarding. "So much of acting is about a comfort level you have with the actor you perform with," Leo tells "The Insider." "When we’re on set when we're working we have the absolute best intentions for each other, we want the best out of the movie and we push each other as actors." In theaters December 26, 'Revolutionary Road' is based on Richard Yates' acclaimed 1961 novel about a Connecticut couple who must grapple with a crumbling marriage. Watch "The Insider" for more with Leo and Kate in 'Revolutionary Road'!

AP - A Nazi-filled Christmas is not an easy sell. That's just one of the challenges Tom Cruise faces with his new World War II thriller "Valkyrie," which opens Dec. 25. In the film, which portrays the seldom-recalled German resistance to Adolf Hitler, Cruise plays would-be Hitler assassin Col. Claus von Stauffenberg.
Tom Cruise has vowed to stop talking about Scientology. The "Valkyrie" star - who has been a follower of the bizarre sci-fi cult since the early 90s - has learned to keep his opinions in check and will not speak about his beliefs while promoting his films.

He told "The Today Show" host Matt Lauer: "I'm here to entertain people. That's who I am and what I want to do."
Nicole Richie has denied she will be making an album with Rihanna. The mother-of-one - who is the adopted daughter of "Hello" singer Lionel Richie - insists reports claiming she is teaming up with the "Umbrella" singer and Kelly Osbourne to make an LP are not true, but admits she would like to launch a music career.

She said: "Although I think Rihanna and Kelly are very talented, the rumors are completely false."
Naomi Watts has named her newborn son Samuel Kai. The 40-year-old actress - who welcomed the baby, who weighed a healthy 7lb 13oz, into the world on Saturday - chose the name with the help of her husband Liev Schreiber, the couple's representative revealed.

The spokesman added: "Both mom and baby are doing great."
Hayden Panettiere took patients from Los Angeles' Children's Hospital on a shopping spree over the weekend.

The "Heroes" star - who is the face of fashion company Candie's - accompanied five girls, who are currently being treated at the medical facility for problems including aneurisms, strokes, paralysis of the nerves and spine and sickle cell anemia, on a shopping trip to San Gabriel department store Kohl's on Saturday.
Ben Affleck says all he wants for Christmas is the "health" of his family. The 36-year-old actor admits the well being of Jennifer - who is currently expecting their second child - two-year-old daughter Violet and their new baby is all he wishes for during the festive season.

He said: "The health of my family is probably what I want for Christmas."
50 Cent has hinted he believes his ex-girlfriend started the fire which destroyed his $1.8 million home earlier this year. The U.S. rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - refused to openly blame Shaniqua Tompkins for the blaze in May, but did confirm she was ordered to leave his home in Dix Hills, New York, just days before it was torched.

Speaking to Quddus Philippe, correspondent for U.S. TV show "TV One Access," 50 said: "The courts told her she had to leave. It's kind of more like, 'If I can't have you, you can't have it.'"
Geri Halliwell has a new boyfriend. The former Spice Girl - who recently split from her long-term partner Ivan "Flipz" Velez - is romancing a mystery Italian called Walter.

The pair were pictured sharing a passionate kiss on the dance floor at a recent Roberto Cavalli fashion launch in Florence, Italy, and have also been seen out shopping together and having lunch.
Madonna's divorce settlement with Guy Ritchie could be worth up to $75 million. Initial reports suggested the British director would receive no cash from the singer's estimated $455 million fortune, but Madonna claims he will now get a mixture of money and property.

Liz Rosenberg, Madonna's official spokesperson, said: "I'd assume it's one of the largest payouts ever in a divorce settlement."
Gary Barlow thought Chris Martin was "taking the p**s" when he said he wanted Coldplay to support Take That. Gary, 37, was amazed when the usually serious musician revealed his love of the boy band.

He said: "It's amazing! I think Chris wrote it on his website. We thought he was taking the p**s, but he wasn't. He's genuinely a fan!"

The daughter of Academy-Award nominated actor Peter Falk says her father has Alzheimer's disease and dementia -- and she filed paperwork for a conservatorship to protect him. "The Insider" has the details. The former "Columbo" star's daughter, Catherine Falk, filed legal papers at Los Angeles County Superior Court claiming her father "forgets events that have occurred and remembers events that did not occur."
