Get your lowdown on what's going on in the world of Hollywood, right here!

Dev Patel has said that he is too young to settle down and has no plans to marry his Slumdog Millionaire co-star Freida Pinto.
 
The 21-year-old actor has been dating the beauty since they met on the set of Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning 2008 film.
 
They have been dogged by marriage rumours ever since, prompting Patel to deny reports in 2010 that they were engaged, and now he's opened up to reveal he still has no plans to take their romance to the next level.
 
'No, we are not engaged,' the Daily Express quoted Patel as telling chat show host Graham Norton.

'I am 21! There are so many rumours about us but no, we are just working hard,' he said.

Naomi Watts will play Princess Diana in a new film that will centre around the final two years of her life and her love affair with a heart surgeon.
 
Caught In Flight will focus on Diana's relationship with Hasnat Khan, the man she described as 'Mr Wonderful.'
 
It will be directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, whose 2004 film, Downfall, charted the last days of Adolf Hitler.
 
Watts, 43, replaces Jessica Chastain, who was attached to the project last year but pulled out.
 
'It is such an honour to be able to play this iconic role -- Princess Diana was loved across the world and I look forward to rising to the challenge of playing her on screen,' the Telegraph quoted Watts as saying.
 
The film begins shooting later this year.

Hirschbiegel said he was 'delighted to have such a truly exceptional actress who embodies the warmth, humanity and empathy of such a global icon as Princess Diana.'

He described the plotline as 'a love story between a princess locked in a tower and an ordinary man.'
