Naomi Watts has reportedly ended her relationship with fellow Aussie Heath Ledger after she spied him flirting with Lost in Translation star Scarlett Johansson. The two reportedly had an argument during a night out when Ledger openly flirted with the 19 year-old actress in front of his 35 year-old girlfriend. An argument soon followed and Watts allegedly pulled Ledger aside and gave him his comeuppance. What wasn’t heard was Watts yelling at Ledger “Go in the corner and sit with Doug Christie!”

Eric Bana is another star who has preemptively declined the role of James Bond. In what can now officially be declared an Olympic sport, Bana has said that he had not been approached about the role but would not accept it anyway. The Aussie actor, who will be seen next in this month’s Troy, joins a list of actors that include Hugh Jackman, Heath Ledger and Clive Owen as those who will not be James Bond at this point. The real danger here is that Roger Moore is still available and he hasn’t declined the part yet.

First, he was a loser-turned-gigolo, then he was a loser-turned-animal, then he was a loser-turned-hot teenage girl so what could possibly be next for Rob Schneider? Why, a loser-turned-super soldier project, of course. Schneider will star in the comedy Fearless soon after his work on Deuce Bigalow, European Gigolo is done. Fearless will tell the story of an inept soldier who is transformed into the ultimate fighting machine during an army experiment. In the immortal words of Chris Rock: “Captain America gonna sue somebody!”

Finally, from the judge not lest ye be judged file, Angelina Jolie has reportedly asked that attractive extras not be in the shot with her on the set of her latest film Mr. And Mrs. Smith, also starring Brad Pitt. Jolie reportedly had the extras removed and replaced with older looking actors. The real reason for her request is up in the air, and it could include any reason from the fact that it wasn’t right for the scene to an ego mixed with severe insecurity. If anything, this rumor has revealed one thing: for every hot actress, there are at least eight hot, and more accessible, background actresses.
