 Cameron Diaz Re-Recorded Her Lines in The Counselor Because She Sounded Too Much Like Rihanna From bad teacher to bad accent? It seems Cameron Diaz was forced to re-record her lines for the recent flop The Counselor because the actress originally spoke "with a full-on Rihanna-style accent," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Apparently, studio executives, while watching the film prior to its release, completely disliked it and insisted on the change. Mind you, the powers-that-be didn't have a problem with Diaz's now-infamous scene in which her character removes her panties, straddles a Ferrari and grinds up against the windshield. But, hey, to each his own, right?

 Justin Bieber Filmed Sleeping in Bed by Brazilian Girl What a nightmare. A sleeping Justin Bieber appears to have been caught on camera by a young girl in Brazil. The 15-second video was uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday, Nov. 6, and in less than 12 hours it generated more than 2.7 million views. The grainy footage shows Bieber wrapped in a gray blanket and snoozing on a bed. After filming the 19-year-old pop star napping, the brunette turned the camera on herself and blew Bieber a kiss. The Canadian musician has yet to officially comment on the tape's existence via social media. But on Thursday, Nov. 7, Bieber uploaded an Instagram video of himself singing and captioned it, "What do tigers dream of." He was, of course, referencing the ditty Ed Helms sang in 2009's The Hangover.

 Jennifer Lawrence Reveals Her Teen Crush Was "Early '90s" Justin Timberlake We can count Jennifer Lawrence among the many teen girls who was at one time, or still is, infatuated with Justin Timberlake. While promoting Catching Fire, the 23-year-old starlet participated in a Tumblr Q&A at Yahoo Headquarters on Wednesday, Nov. 6 with director Francis Lawrence. The event, which was part of the film's Global Fan Day, was moderated by Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer. When asked about who she liked like that back in the day, the Hunger Games actress admitted that she had a thing for a certain boybander. "My teen crush [was] Justin Timberlake," J. Law, who was sporting her new pixie cut, told the audience to some laughs. "Early 90s Justin Timberlake though. Like 'N Sync Justin Timberlake." &nbs

 Salinger (2013) Certificate PG-13 120 min - Documentary An unprecedented look inside the private world of J.D. Salinger, the reclusive author of The Catcher in the Rye. Director: Shane Salerno Stars: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, Judd Apatow, John Cusack It's rather cool to consider the biggest film spoiler of the year might have something to do with new works being published by an author who wrote a series of novels while in seclusion. If any documentary can outpace 20 Feet from Stardom at the box office, this is it. &n

 Riddick (2013) Certificate R 119 min - Action | Sci-Fi | Thriller Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick's past. Director: David Twohy Stars: Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, Jordi Mollà If you could get Vin Diesel going on an uncensored review of his 15+ years in the industry and its attendant highs and many lows, it'd be worth the listen. Now that Fast Five has made Diesel a worldwide star, his development slate is beefing up with projects old and new. Something tells me Riddick's real victories will come from his overseas campaigns, and that U.S. audiences might be more inclined to catch up with him at home.

Director: Brian De Palma Stars: Rachel McAdams, Noomi Rapace, Karoline Herfurth, Paul Anderson No surprise the reviews are divided for Brian de Palma's remake of Alain Corneau's final film, Crime d'amour. The icy story is certainly not feminist, which is hard to reconcile as you watch Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace try to eat one another alive. So toggle off your ethics and enjoy, I guess. &nbs

 Closed Circuit (2013) Certificate R 96 min - Crime | Drama | Mystery | Thriller A high-profile terrorism case unexpectedly binds together two ex-lovers on the defense team - testing the limits of their loyalties and placing their lives in jeopardy. Director: John Crowley Stars: Eric Bana, Rebecca Hall, Jim Broadbent, Ciarán Hinds Pretty much anyone who has been aware of this project's existence has cited the presence of Eastern Promises screenwriter Steve Knight as the main reason to see the film. We're excited for his return to the thriller genre as well as the imaginable chemistry between Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall, two fine actors with unfortunately inconsistent filmographies. And if you have yet to see director John Crowley's Boy A, I suggest seeking it out. &n

He commandeers a young woman's car and takes her on on a high-speed race against time. Director: Courtney Solomon Stars: Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, Jon Voight, Paul Freeman This premise makes me wonder if Warner Bros. is trying to find the balance between a Jason Statham movie and Ryan Gosling's arty and beloved Drive. Indie-horror maverick Courtney Solomon, who runs After Dark Films, is at the helm. And look at young Selena Gomez go; you have to admire her as she follows a path to lead her out of tweendom and into a hopefully prolonged career. &nbs

 One Direction: This Is Us (2013) Certificate PG 92 min - Documentary | Music A look at Niall, Zayn, Liam, Louis, and Harry's meteoric rise to fame, from their humble hometown beginnings and competing on the X-Factor, to conquering the world and performing at London's famed O2 Arena. Director: Morgan Spurlock Stars: Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan Justin Bieber's pop-star days are probably numbered now that the attention once solely reserved for him has been refocused on this British boy band that was assembled in 2010 by Simon Cowell as he was prepping a new season of "X Factor". But Biebs will always have the superlative documentary in my mind because I know some sarcastic dudes who were reduced to tears by Never Say Never. Meanwhile, people who exist in indie-film circles, are a-gog due to the fact that Morgan Spurlock is directing.

 The Grandmaster - Yi dai zong shi (2013) Certificate PG-13 130 min - Action | Biography | Drama The story of martial-arts master Ip Man, the man who trained Bruce Lee. Director: Kar Wai Wong Stars: Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Ziyi Zhang, Jin Zhang, Chen Chang Kung-fu aficionados have been waiting for Wong Kar Wai's new work for over ten years (he "announced" the project back in 2002); you have to travel back to 1994 for his last action piece, Dung che sai duk. Fitting, then, that he's putting his unique narrative spin on the genre's chief legend -- that of Ip Man, the Wing Chun master who mentored Bruce Lee -- and reuniting Wo hu cang long's Zhang Ziyi and Chang Chen. A probable worldwide smash, the film could turn out to be WKW's best performer in the U.S. -- especially if Harvey Weinstein puts his full weight behind it. &n

 The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) Certificate PG-13 130 min - Action | Adventure | Drama | Fantasy | Mystery | Romance When her mother disappears, Clary Fray learns that she descends from a line of warriors who protect our world from demons. She joins forces with others like her and heads into a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld. Director: Harald Zwart Stars: Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower, Robert Sheehan, Jemima West Cassandra Clare's six-novel Mortal Instruments series seems to possess enough dark magic, secret family histories, and love-triangle dynamics to please fans of both Harry Potter and Twilight, and casting Lily Collins as Clary Fray seems like a wise move in the post-Bella Swan era. Sony is looking to build a franchise, and it's ultimately not surprising to see Harald Zwart, who helped turn The Karate Kid into an over-

Director: Zachary Heinzerling Stars: Ushio Shinohara, Noriko Shinohara, Ethan Cohen, Alex Shinohara It's been a strong year for documentary portraiture, and Zachary Heinzerling's look at the enmeshed lives of a renowned artist, his dutiful wife, and her creative emergence should rank as one of the year's best received. We're looking forward to see how Heinzerling brought Cutie's illustrations to life via an animation effect similar to the one Jessica Yu used in In the Realms of the Unreal. &n

Director: Lee Daniels Stars: Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, John Cusack, Jane Fonda In a time when a filmmaker's success can be measured almost exclusively by the amount of online chatter their work generates, Lee Daniels seems aware that, ultimately, and in the name of longevity, it's about audiences to actually see your movie. So it wasn't a surprise to hear that the Precious director, whose rise leveled off after no one really cared enough to see The Paperboy, would next train his wild style to a real-life character of cultural import.

Director: Jeff Wadlow Stars: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jim Carrey I admired Kick-Ass for uncouth dopiness and eagerness to entertain. Do we need the sequel? Original distributor Lionsgate didn't seem to think so, making room for Universal to step in with an expanded cast and cheaper writer/director in Jeff Wadlow (Cry_Wolf/Never Back Down).

With their first anniversary approaching and attractive alternatives in the mix, can they last? Director: Dan Mazer Stars: Rose Byrne, Rafe Spall, Alex Macqueen, Stephen Merchant The meet-cute romance gets an unorthodox (and, according to many, irritating) spin from Sacha Baron Cohen shaper Dan Mazer. The trailer made us laugh, but we imagine 90 minutes of discomforting comedy is the kind of movie you might want to watch on demand. &n

Directors: Rob Epstein | Jeffrey Friedman Stars: Amanda Seyfried, James Franco, Peter Sarsgaard, Juno Temple If you're expecting Boogie Nights or Star 80, you might need to adjust your expectations -- aside from the Eric Roberts cameo. Director duo Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman bring it when they're in documentary mode (The Celluloid Closet and, hello, The Times of Harvey Milk), but they are less assured narrative filmmakers (see: Howl). A weak script and period-setting trappings undermine the top-notch cast.

 Miranda Lambert Unveils Weight Loss at Cma Awards, Reveals Fitness Secrets—Watch Now Miranda Lambert is one of the most outspoken stars in country music, but she let her body do all the talking at the 47th annual Country Music Association Awards in Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 6. Wearing a plunging Roberto Cavalli gown, the blond star unveiled a noticeably thinner frame. The "All Kinds of Kinds" singer shared the secrets behind her svelte shape while speaking to E! News on the red carpet. "I have been working a lot!" the 29-year-old musician said. "Working out and drinking juice and just running, running around." "You know what, I fluctuate all the time in my weight—it's really annoying—but I'm going to be 30 in like four days, so I'm like, 'I need to get ahead of this thing!' Because they say when you hit 30 it doesn't get easier," she added. "So I thought, 'Well, you know, if I get a little

 Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Are Done Making Movies, Never Felt Like Actresses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are no longer interested in making movies. Though they got their start on the family-friendly sitcom Full House in 1987 (and went on to start in a series of direct-to-video films), the 27-year-olds have decided to focus on expanding their fashion and beauty brands instead. "We were always hard workers as kids," Mary-Kate tells WWD. "It's just the way we are, the way we were raised. Our work ethic was everything, and that never left us. We like to work hard, and we like to try to do everything 100 percent. In fact, it's actually almost impossible for us not to. Sometimes you succeed and sometimes not so much, but it's learning." Ashley—who has not appeared on the big screen since 2004's New York Minute—adds, "I always looked at myself, even as a kid, as a businesswoman."

 Paulina Gretzky Reveals What Her Dad, Wayne, Has in Common With Her Fiancé Paulina Gretzky hasn't always done things that make her father, ice hockey great Wayne, smile – remember the bikini pic scandal? – but the Hall of Famer was happy when she got engaged to PGA star Dustin Johnson in August. "My dad loves playing golf, so it's certainly a plus," says the 24-year-old, who's featured on the cover of the December issue of Maxim magazine (out Nov. 19). The party girl incurred the Canadian hockey star's wrath after posting one too many sexy bikini pics of herself on her Twitter account back in 2011. But the aspiring model and actress still doesn't understand what all the fuss was about. "Some people gave me such a hard time for posting all these swimsuit pics on Twitter," she admits. "I'm sorry, I'm not posting pictures when I'm reading a book. I feel like social media is

 Prince Avalanche (2013) Certificate R 94 min - Comedy | Drama Two highway road workers spend the summer of 1988 away from their city lives. The isolated landscape becomes a place of misadventure as the men find themselves at odds with each other and the women they left behind. Director: David Gordon Green Stars: Paul Rudd, Emile Hirsch, Lance LeGault, Joyce Payne As David Gordon Green's longtime fans have aged, and the director began to specialize in a curious strain of Hollywood comedy, some of us began to wonder if he'd ever find a project that merged the narrative prowess that made George Washington such a wonder and the dark fantasy showcased in Pineapple Express. Turns out Prince Avalanche and its improvising, Mario Bros. overalls-wearing co-leading men is the project for which we have been pining. But the thing is: We are a rather small, if loyal, aud

Like Puss in Boots, the project was first set for a straight-to-DVD release; unlike Puss in Boots, we don't think this one will soar at home or abroad. Though we hear that Dusty Crophopper and friends will be back for a sequel.

Well, he's finally back in the major-movie spotlight with a long-gestating pot-themed comedy that has seen directors and stars come and go like it was TV pilot season. Exactly what kind of shape the script is in at this point is unknown - many hands have touched it -- but I'm hoping the cast, which includes SNL's Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, Ed Helms, and Nick Offerman, was encouraged to improvise. And, hey, if this movie manages to underwhelm, couldn't you get p

Genre reviewers have praised the work for its realism, thrills, and performances from its international cast. I guess the thought here was to release the movie in theaters right around the time you can see star Sharlto Copley in Elysium as well. &nbs
