The Kids Are All Right was one of the buzzy films to come out of this year's Sundance film festival and it's easy to see why after watching this trailer. Annette Bening and Julianne Moore star as Nic and Jules, longtime partners and parents of two children (played by Josh Hutcherson and Alice in Wonderland's Mia Wasikowska) who they conceived via sperm donor. However, when their kids track down their birth father (Mark Ruffalo), it's a recipe for conflict and confusion about their relationship—Jules even kisses the guy.
Breaking Dawn's screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg has revealed her plans for Renesmee's birth to be "intense" and "visceral". Melissa has spoken about this scene before, saying that while she thinks the childbirth should be on screen, she wouldn't want to go so far as showing "teeth in the placenta". It's going to be a big moment for Kristen Stewart, and Melissa said Kristen and Robert are excited to start.
Jessica Alba's dress was party in the front and gala in the back for last night's premiere of Machete at the Venice Film Festival. Jessica's husband Cash stayed behind and wished her luck from home in California so she brought her dad as her red carpet date instead. She and her co-stars helped kick things off the previous evening at a bash honouring Quentin Tarantino.

Rachel McAdams was spotting chatting with friends outside her trailer as she took a break from filming The Vow in Toronto yesterday. She and co-star Channing Tatum play a married couple, and as they're both alums of Nicholas Sparks movies (she was in The Notebook, he was in Dear John) they won't have any problems pulling off the romance. Scott Speedman is also co-starring, meaning lucky Rachel will find herself torn between two good-looking men in this upcoming drama.

The Venice Film Festival got under way last night starting with a Vogue party celebrating director Quentin Tarantino, where Jessica Alba joined Naomi Campbell, Stephen Dorff and more. She was up early this morning wearing a bold floral print dress to a Machete photocall. Her co-star Lindsay Lohan has to stay in California for the time being, and in an interview with David Letterman that aired Monday, Jessica got visibly uncomfortable when he grilled her on her trouble-prone castmate.
If you didn't think Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan made a convincing pair in Cop Out, or if Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg didn't float your boat in The Other Guys, then try this buddy cop duo on for size: Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper. The really, really ridiculously good-looking pair have signed on for an untitled action comedy about two cops in San Francisco who enlist their retired police officer dads to help them with a case. As my aforementioned examples confirm, Hollywood seems to be keen on cop comedies right now.
Rachael Taylor isn’t backing down when it comes to distancing herself from ex-fiance Matt Newton. A lawyer for the actress filed an application for an apprehended domestic violence order in court today. The papers will be served directly to Matt, who is at a Sydney psychiatric hospital, in the next few days.
