Yes, the rumors are true. After weeks of speculation, Dakota Fanning has officially joined the cast of Twilight's highly anticipated sequel, New Moon, Summit Entertainment confirmed this weekend.

The "Knocked Up" star has shed 30 lbs for his role in new comic book adaptation "The Green Hornet" - in which he plays the crime-fighting vigilante of the same name - but doesn't think he will be able to maintain his new slimline figure when filming ends because dieting has made him so emotional.

He said: "I lost the weight for a role, but I don't know if I'll keep it off. That's the big question. I have a lot of tantrums. I want my food. I cry for no reason."
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are going camping. The Hollywood couple are planning to take their two-year-old daughter Suri on a budget holiday across the U.S. when Tom finishes promoting his new movie "Valkyrie" at the end of the month.

The "Back To Black" singer was one of the headline acts on the bill - which would have been Amy's biggest concert in the U.S. to date - alongside Sir Paul McCartney and The Killers.
Julia Roberts doesn't want her children to be actors. The "Duplicity" actress - who has four-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and 20-month-old son Henry with husband Daniel Moder - will not allow her kids to pursue Hollywood careers until they are fully grown.

Claudia Schiffer won't work with designers who are nasty to her model friends. The German supermodel rose to fame in the 90s and became such good pals with many of her contemporaries she was, and still is, as concerned about their careers as her own.
