The 27-year-old added, "I remember leaving the hospital thinking, 'I have no idea what I am doing. 

I have a life in my hands and I'm not equipped to do this'. It felt like being a passenger on a plane and being told, 'By the way, now you are going to be piloting the plane'.

She said, "The older I've got, the more enriched my life has become."

James Cameron juggling four screenplays for three Avatar sequels, says composer James Horner

According to a recent interview in the media abroad with composer and orchestrator James Horner, James Cameron is reportedly juggling four screenplays and trying to distill all of that over a course of three planned Avatarsequels. 

"Right now Jim has... four sequels Hollywood Gossip script-wise, and he's trying to make it into three. And that is where his effort is going right now, to keep it to three sequels. Because he's got so much going on... trying to keep it from expanding into a fifth movie," said Horner.

Earlier in the year, Cameron had himself spoken about the next series of Avatar movies, the first of which is due in the Christmas season of 2017. "There's nothing I need to say as an artiste about the state of the world and human affairs that I can't do through the lens of the Avatar universe. We've had a couple of years to think through the story arc of the next three films, and every day that goes by, I believe in the stories I'm telling more and more. We're not coming out of the block fast to capitalise on the last film," Cameron reportedly said.

While We’re Young Movie Review

STORY: Josh (Stiller) and Cornelia (Watts) are a middle-aged couple whose lives are re-energized when they meet a Hollywood Gossip much younger, hip couple Jamie (Driver) and Darby (Seyfried). However, the exchange of influences between the two couples doesn't turn out to be all that symbiotic in the long run.

REVIEW: Josh and Cornelia pretty much have nothing to complain about the way life treats them, except for the proverbial white elephant in the room that they can't ignore - their lives as individuals and as a married couple, are empty. Their sex life is in the doldrums and they go about day-to-day tasks like automatons. So it's no surprise that when Darby and, more specifically, Jamie enter their lives one day after Josh winds up giving a lecture in a college, it's like a breath of fresh air. Josh and Jamie's 'bromance' blossoms and the former loves everything about Jamie - from his worn sneakers to his expansive LP collection. In a short while, Josh and Cornelia learn to loosen up and live a little.

this also means adopting various forms of hipster cred, going to underground gatherings, taking hip hop dance classes and Josh sporting a fedora (de rigueur for a hipster) with dogged determination. But the smoothly shrewd Jamie is no slouch in the ambition department. He'll not only squeeze Josh for every benefit, but also treat his own girlfriend like a glorified assistant. The relationship dynamics between the couples and a tongue-in-cheek look at generational gaps are the most delightful aspects of the film. Baumbach weaves in elements of playful-but-pointed social satire well enough, without making it all seem too heavy.

The casting is spot-on. Stiller is endearingly sincere as a filmmaker desperate for funding, but won't compromise on his ethics. Seyfried and Driver go about their job without an ounce of hamming and Watts' performance is a lesson in disarming straightforwardness. And Adam 'Ad-rock' Horovitz (of hip hop group Beastie Boys) is a natural at playing a stay-at-home dad. Other than that, the deft editing and the quick pace makes this a fun watch.

Hollywood A-listers give indie films a shot in the arm

While independent cinema was largely the domain of unknown faces, 2015 has a host of mainstream Hollywood actors featuring in indie films. While Hollywood Gossip some are attracted to the low-budget guerrilla style of filmmaking and the intimate slice-of-life themes of this genre, other stars like the freedom that smaller films offer them for them to display their acting chops.

Tiny rewards

Upcoming film Cake stars a deglamourised Jennifer Aniston as an LA-based woman who has recently separated from her husband and Anna Kendrick as the woman who haunts her. Indie filmmaker Richard Glatzer's last film Still Alice this year, won Julianne Moore an Oscar for her portrayal of a professor with early-onset Alzheimer's. "Working in the indie space has helped my career longevity. All of my successes sprung from these teeny tiny movies," Moore said in an interview after the awards. Apart from Alec Baldwin, it also features Kristen Stewart, who's making unusual choices after bidding goodbye to the Twilightfranchise.

Small but meaningful

Stewart has lined up a slate of indie films including Crazy Love, Wendy And Lucy as well asClouds Of Sils Maria where she plays French actress Juliette Binoche's daughter. "I am obsessed with ignoring the idea that we're creating products. I really choose every single project I do based on the desire, and based on really just wanting to experience making that story happen," Stewart said about her penchant for independent movies. John Cusack and Paul Dano depict the young and old reclusive Beach Boys musician Brian Wilson in the biopic Love And Mercy.

New ideas

Spike Lee's first crowdfunded film Da Sweet Blood of Jesus is a reinterpretation of Bill Gunn's horror cult film Ganja And Hess and stars Williams of Children Of God fame. The director dipped into the global crowdfunding craze to raise funds for the project. Naomi Watts and Ben Stiller are essaying a troubled couple in While We're Young. Stiller may be famous as a funnyman to mainstream audiences, but the indie film circuit knows he is a perfectly capable thespian in any genre. His earlier outings in the indie genre were The Royal Tenenbaums and Your Friends And Neighbors.

Spontaneous projects

After The Skeleton Twins last year, Kristen Wiig — of Bridesmaids fame — will now play a girl who starts her own talk show in another indie movie, Welcome To Me. British actor David Oyelowo of Selma fame, is set to co-star with Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o in the indie film version of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel Americanah and later this year, in Five Nights In Maine.

Christian Bale nad Natalie Portman in Knight Of Cups

Meanwhile, Batman star Christian Bale appears alongside Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett in Terrence Malick's indie project Knight Of Cups. Bale told a website after the premiere, "I prefer being a part of shorter movies... it sort of feels like guerrilla filmmaking. Free, because you don't have hundreds of crew all staring with the expectations. You don't feel like it's a massive village that's being created. I love the impulsiveness and the spontaneity you get much more with smaller films."

Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek's weird eating habits

In the last few years we've been hearing about a new food trend in the West — Hollywood Gossip eating insects.
