Continuing work on his latest project, Robert Pattinson was busy rehearsing scenes for "Cosmopolis" in Toronto on Tuesday (June 28).
Looking grungy in an unbuttoned plaid shirt with colorful trousers and a winter cap, the "Twilight" heartthrob roamed the Canadian grounds in between takes.
During the course of filming, Pattinson has made himself a fan in co-star Juliette Binoche, who called the 25-year-old charming.
She said, “I had no idea who he was, I have never followed his career or seen Twilight."
Miss Binoche added, “He’s really funny, just like a kid. He charmed me.”

Adding to the already massive amount of hype, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” held its New York City premiere tonight (June 28).
The action-packed third installment of the uber-popular series drew quite a crowd in Times Square, as stars like Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Tyrese Gibson, Patrick Dempsey and Josh Duhamel all showed up.
Also on-hand for the "Transformers" premiere were famous siblings Willow and Jaden Smith, Alessandra Ambrosio, Erin Heatherton and singing sensation Gabrielle Union.
During a recent interview, LaBeouf chatted about the future of the franchise, and that he’ll be going out with a bang with this movie.
"I just don't think right now there's anywhere to take Sam. If you'd asked me fifteen years ago if I would be here, I would've said, 'No way.' I don't have a grand plan. There's not this grand scheme. I just fall into movies. I'm blessed in that regard. The movies I've been involved in, it's never been plotted and planned and picked.”
“I was seventeen when I met [director] Michael [Bay], and I'm sort of Michael Bay-raised. I've learned a great deal from Michael, as a person, as an actor, as a person on set. And it's not that I don't enjoy working with Michael. I love working with Michael. I would do any movie Michael wants to do. I just don't think there's anywhere to take it with Sam."

She's one of R&B most recognizable musicians and now Alicia Keys has been immortalized in wax, thanks to Madame Tussaud's.
The 30-year-old singer's waxwork creation made its debut at the famed New York City museum earlier today (June 28).
After seeing her amazingly real-looking likeness, Alicia couldn't stop gushing, "I actually think it's really, really good! I was looking close up: It's like my eyebrows are for real, and it's like my eyes are for real, and the bone structure of my chin, like, 'Look, that's my chin! That's my jaw!'" she told MTV.
Keys added, "It's incredible. It's really incredible, and I think it's so cool to be a part of the New York City part of the exhibit. I was born and raised here, this is my home, so it's so perfect."
Looking for some extra protection as she made her nail appointment exit, January Jones was spotted with a double dose of police escorts as she left Los Feliz salon earlier today (June 28).
The 33-year-old actress, opted for some comfy clothes for her midday pampering session, sporting a black top, blue leggings and black flip flops.
Over the weekend the momma-to-be headed to Malibu, where she celebrated her baby shower with her closest family and friends, including "Mad Men" co-star Christina Hendricks
An onlooker of the joyous event told People, “[She] seemed happy to be spending time at the beach with her friends. Everyone was laughing and seemed to have a great time.”

Their super-hot single "Who Says" is already a platinum hit and now fans can hear the rest of what Selena Gomez & The Scene have to offer as their highly-anticipated album, "When The Sun Goes Down," makes its way to stores and online today (June 28)!
Elated about the record release, the Disney darling took to her Twitter page to gush, telling fans, "Hey guys!! #WhenTheSunGoesDown is available for purchase now on iTunes. So excited to share it with you!"
Meanwhile, nearly 19-year-old Selena has opened up about the pressures to amp up her sex appeal as she gets older, telling Time, "...of course I'm becoming a woman, and I want to explore that side of myself but at the same time, I have to be true to those people that have been with me. I still get awkward if I'm in a bikini so I don't think I'll be doing anything too drastic anytime soon."
Gomez also says that, while young male stars don't have to endure that same pressure, she wouldn't have it any other way, as she explained, "I have it better. Sometimes fans for male pop stars or actors can be a little crazy. I was that way with Jesse McCartney, and N'Sync. But I could probably have lunch with every single one of my fans. I like that I don't seem unapproachable and that they're not trying to get with me."
That 85-year old has charm, millions in the bank account and a silk bath robe that drives the ladies wild. As a result, he can date both Anna Sophia Berglund (referred to this week as his "best gal") AND Shera Bechard (labeled by Hef as his "new girlfriend" yesterday).
You however, cannot. Therefore, you must study photos of both these Playmates here and decide: Which you rather Hef it up with... if you know what we mean!
After a few weeks of rancor, it appeared in April as if Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry had reached a truce in their battle over their three-year old daughter, Nahla. A custody agreement was signed.
But the actress was back in court today, claiming that Aubry violated said agreement and accusing the father of neglect.
Details are scant at the moment, but TMZ first broke the story of Berry submitting a lengthy complaint to a judge. It outlines all the ways in which Aubry - a Canadian model who split with the actress in May 2010 - supposedly violated the former couple's terms.
One incident overseas, where Aubry allegedly imperiled Nahla's safety, is specifically cited.
The judge has scheduled a hearing to hear more on the matter and we'll keep readers apprised as news breaks.
But apparently it wasn't enough, as the ex-wife of Charlie Sheen has submitted court documents that demand Warner Bros. withhold $55,000 per month from whatever it owes the actor; Mueller is not confident he will be able to meet his child support obligations.
Sheen is not actually behind on his payments, mind you.
But insiders say Mueller wants to take every precaution she can and has asked the studio to wire the monthly figure directly into her bank account. Hopefully that will give the troubled star something to smile over.
As you can see above, crying appears to be Brooke's default action during every appearance on The World According to Paris.
Film sets are horny environments, FACT, which is why actors often end up getting it on with each other behind the scenes.
Sometimes they go on to forging long lasting relationships together, but more often than not their filthy, horny frissons remain a dirty secret kept from the public.
Shia LaBouef is obviously not familiar with the term “secret” because he’s just gone and blabbed about his special off-screen relationship with former co-star Megan Fox.
During a recent interview the actor was asked whether he ever got in on with the hot Hollywood actress while they were making Transformers II together, he replied:
"Look, you're on the set for six months, with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them. I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen."
When asked if Megan was with her now husband Brian Austin Green at the time, he replied:
"I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. . . It was what it was."
Following in the footsteps of Ronan Keating, Charlotte Church and Matthew Morrison - Peter Andre arrived at the QVC studios in London yesterday to begin a week long promotion for his new single, ‘Perfect Night’ before it’s officially released on Sunday.
The 38-year-old singer, who kicked things off with a live performance, will be on the shopping channel every day this week asking you to part with your hard earned cash for a copy of his single, which in case you’re interested costs £3.99 including P&P.
Do people still by hard copies of singles? What are they called? Those shiny round things? Oh that’s right, CDs
Announcing her bid for the presidency Monday, Michele Bachmann noted that she shares her birthplace of Waterloo, Iowa, with acting legend John Wayne.
"Just like John Wayne is from Waterloo, Iowa, that's the kind of spirit I have too. It's embracing America. It's sacrificing for America," Bachmann said.
The problem? The Duke is from Winterset, Iowa, about 150 miles away. John Wayne Gacy, the notorious rapist and serial killer, hails from Waterloo.
While an honest mistake, and no big deal in the grand scheme, such gaffes and other ridiculous Michele Bachmann quotes pop up with surprising frequency.
As Bachmann, who now represents a Minnesota district in the U.S. House, gears up for her presidential run, we pulled together a greatest hits list.
Much like Sarah Palin's greatest hits, some of these Bachmann lines seem straight out of The Onion, classic "did this really happen?" moments ...
- "And what a bizarre time we're in, when a judge will say to little children that you can't say the pledge of allegiance, but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it."
- "(Gay marriage) is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that."
- “During the last 100 days we have seen an orgy. It would make any local smorgasbord embarrassed … The government spent its wad by April 26.”
- "The President of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day."
- "But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States." (on the Constitution, drafted close to a century before slavery was abolished)
- "It is horrific to know that in the African American community, 50 percent of all African American pregnancies in the United States end in abortion, 50 percent. That is a genocide of African Americans of the United States. It should not be."
- "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas."
- "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord." Sadly, he first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired in Massachusetts, not the Granite State, where she was speaking.
- Bachmann criticized the USA's current tax code as "a weapon of mass destruction" in a speech delivered to South Carolina Republican activists.
- Bachmann derided Planned Parenthood as "the LensCrafters of big abortion."
- She referred to the administration as a "gangster government," and said "I think there have been actions taken by the government that are corrupt."
- In 2006, Bachmann said, "There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design."
- Bachmann suggested that proposed financial regulatory reform was reminiscent of Italy under the rule of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.
- "Hey, I took karate when I was 17 years old, I am dangerous." (on whether she could "take" President Obama)
- "Why does the government need our phone numbers? You know the question that's not on this survey? Are you a U.S. citizen? This would be your perfect opportunity to find out how many illegal aliens are in the United States." (on the U.S. Census)
- After receiving a lei at the airport in Hawaii, she wore it while addressing Congress, saying "I'm reminded that the one who created this lei also created our freedom. Are we so insensible to the high cost our forebearers paid to purchase our freedom?" So ... the Hawaiian Bureau of Tourism created freedom.
- "If we look at the collection of friends that Barack Obama has had in his life, it calls into question what Barack Obama's true beliefs and values and thoughts are. His attitudes, values, and beliefs of the United States... is negative."
- In July of last year, Bachmann accused the Obama administration of "turning our country into a nation of slaves."
- Bachmann expressed concern that White House was trying to put in place "re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward."
- Bachmann issued a warning in March of 2009 on her fear that the USA might wind up abandoning "the dollar for a multinational currency."
- "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back."
- "Not all cultures are equal."
- "[Nancy Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said she has even said she is trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that 2,000 years ago."
- "A woman (Terri Schiavo) was healthy. There was brain damage, there was no question. But from a health point of view, she was not terminally ill."
If this new interview with Jennifer Aniston is anything to go by then the actress is living in a smug new-relationship haze at the moment - and we’re exceptionally jealous of her.
She only recently started going out with Justin Theroux but has already got matching rings with the actor (observe the shiny new gold number on her engagement finger in the pics above, which were taken in New York yesterday by the way) and has now been gushing about how happy she is in a new interview, which leads us to believe she’s totally head over heels in luuurve right now.
‘I was not in a happy place in my 20s. I was going through a lot of turmoil and doubt,’ said Aniston in said gushy interview.
‘Even in my 30s, I still struggled with a lot of issues. But at some point you grow up or find the keys to living happily. I’m so much happier today.’
Speaking about her personal life she added: 'I'm extremely lucky and extremely happy.'
In an interview with New! magazine, Lauren Goodger has revealed that her wedding to Mark Wright is currently on hold.
Pictured leaving the Tracie Giles permanent make-up clinic in London on Sunday afternoon, before jetting to Vegas with Mark on Sunday night, Lauren confidently said:
“I’m not ready. He needs to show me that he’s the one I want to be with. I don’t have to be with him. I know I’ll be OK. He’s not the be all and end all.”
In case you didn’t already know, Lauren’s fiancé was accused of cheating on her with his ex during a recent lads holiday. When asked about that, she said:
“He was on a stag so he got away with that one. I won’t allow it again. He’s lost that trust. He will never go to Marbella without me. Ever.”
What a brilliant relationship, if you just stop your other half from going anywhere that they might cheat on you you’ll be fine, eh?
She added, “There’s a limit to what I can take. If I could prove he’d cheated, I’d leave.
“But because I’ve not got no evidence and everyone’s going "Oh that’s just what they make it look like," what can I do? If he does disrespect me, it’ll come out in the end.”
Oh deary.
Hey, Lauren if you’re reading this we have a quick question for you, ready? Okay, if it looks like a rat and smells like a rat, what is it? Take your time….
Move over, Anna Sophia Burgland. Not too far. Just a little closer to the edge of the bed.
Just a couple days after Hugh Hefner labeled this Playmate as his "best girl," the magazine magnate has Tweeted that he has a "new girlfriend." Say hello to Shera Bechard!
Sources first linked Bechard to Hef last week, but this is the first time Hefner has officially given her a title. Let's just hope he doesn't give her anything she needs to see a doctor about!
Bechard is a native of Canada who loves to travel and is "looking forward to having a big house someday," according to her website. She hates when people mistake her "shyness for snobbery."
How does Crystal Harris feel about her ex's growing stable of women?
"I was replaced the day after I left," she Tweeted. "Expected."
Julie Benz of Dexter and No Ordinary Family fame is engaged to her boyfriend of four years, marketing executive Rich Orosco, her rep confirmed last night.
Orosco popped the question Sunday in the yard of their L.A home. Nearly 60 family members and friends helped celebrate at a surprise party he planned.
"It was absolutely perfect," says Benz, who can next be seen on Royal Pains.
Benz was previously married to actor John Kassir from 1998-2007.
"The proposal was simple and beautiful. I was shocked by the pop-up surprise Mexican fiesta engagement party," she says, adding, "What girl doesn't want to be serenaded by a Mariachi band surrounded by close friends and family?"
The casting carousal on The Real Housewives of New York City may be spinning again.
Sources tell Hollywood Life that Alex McCord and Cindy Barshop won't return to the Bravo franchise next season. No other details have been given, but Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Jill Zarin, Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and Kelly Killoren Bensimon are all expected back.
McCord is an original cast member, while Barshop was brought in to fill the void left when Bethenny Frankel departed the series.
In response to this report, a rep for Bravo simply said: “No decisions have been made regarding next season and everything at this point is rumor.”
This isn't the first time McCord has been allegedly let go. We'll keep fans apprised of the latest casting news as soon as it breaks.
If you were playing a Bachelorette drinking game with the words "Bentley," "closure" and "dot dot dot" ... you aren't reading this right now. You are likely in a hospital bed recovering from alcohol poisoning and having your stomach pumped.
The fact that Bentley Williams was even allowed to return to the show after the stunt he pulled several episodes ago is a joke, but finally - finally - Ashley Hebert saw through the act and sent him packing for good Monday.
That's not to say there wasn't collateral damage left in Bentley's wake. Some of the other guys, understandably, were far from pleased by his return.
The Bachelorette spoilers we've compiled include who makes it to hometown dates, and all the way to the end this season, so read at your own risk.
Right now, let's break down last night's episode, the sixth of the season, THG style. Continue on for our patented +/- Bachelorette recap ...
"Oh, hey, what are you doing here?" - Ashley Hebert, who already had a camera crew waiting in her room, to Chris Harrison. Never unfunny. Plus 6.
Why would the producers allow him back after they'd seen the earlier footage? Why would Bentley want to come back? Makes no sense. Minus 15.
Man, their "conversation" was awkward to watch. So much silence. Minus 13.
For a girl he says is not attractive and isn't worth his time, Ashley sure did elicit a bunch of longing stares and leg-touching from Bentley. Plus 7.
How much did you want to throw a remote control through your screen when he tried to charm her with that fake smile? So much rage. Minus 8.
It's not clear how, but Ashley had a sudden epiphany that she's dealing with a Grade A douchenozzle and peaced out rather emphatically. Plus 11.
Plus 15 more for the f-bomb to Bentley in her interview after the fact.
Lucas got the first one-on-one date, which involved strolling, sailing, eating and Ashley talking about Bentley still. Fortunately just to the camera, so ... Wash.
He seems cool and got the rose. Plus 3. Hong Kong seems cool as well. Plus 4.
As the only two guys who haven't had a solo date so far, Ryan and Blake were on edge as the date card arrives and the one-on-one goes to ... JP. Plus 12.
Ashley wears a lot of leggings and button-down shirts, many of them see-through. This appears to be her signature look. Different, but it works. Plus 8.
On the group date, the guys were split into teams and tasked with recruiting other dragon boat rowers off the street. Good times were had. Plus 4.
Ben and Constantine felt their best bet was to eschew team members in favor of local couture. Minus only 3 for this poor strategy, 'cause they had fun.
Afterward, a couple got engaged on the beach! WHAT are the odds!? Minus 9.
Ames and Mickey prevailed. Then Ames really prevailed when he stole Ashley away and put the moves on her in an elevator. Go #Amesbot!! Plus 13.
Ashley decided to ruin her date with JP by bringing up Bentley. Minus only 5, because he's going to watch the show eventually. It had to come up sometime.
Plus 10 for JP reacting like a mature adult, unlike some of his competition. It's The Bachelorette. There were 25 guys there. She liked more than one. Deal.
JP and Ashley sure enjoy making out. Bentley who?!Plus 9.
Unfortunately for our girl, JP's reaction was not indicative of the male population at large when she told the rest of them about Bentley. Crickets. Minus 7.
Plus 41 for that dress she wore, though. Wow. 'Nuff said.
Constantine is skeptical. Lucas all of a sudden thinks his time is being wasted. Blake whines, again, about not getting a date. Guys ... calm down. Minus 5.
Ryan, obviously, sensed the opportunity for brownie points. Plus 6, because even though the dude is beyond annoying, he seems like he's there for her.
Clearly insecure about Bentley and looking to bail on his terms before getting sent home later that night anyway, Mickey leaves. Your loss man. Minus 8.
TOTAL: +76. SEASON TOTAL: +212.
ROSE RECIPIENTS: Ben Flajnik, Lucas Daniels, Constantine “Dino” Tzortzis, Ryan Park, Ames Brown and JP Rosenbaum.
We suspected it would only be a matter of time before Peter Andre would make a comment on the whole Kerry Katona and CAN split drama, which is exactly what he’s done in his New magazine column this week.
"Everyone keeps asking me what went on between my manager Claire Powell and Kerry Katona, but it’s between those two” said Pete – who was obviously not in the mood to divulge any juicy inside details. The singer – seen here in these pics outside of the ITV studios yesterday - added:
"I haven’t spoken to Kerry since but that’s not unusual as we often go weeks without ringing each other."
"Kerry is still my friend but, for the last 18 months, I’ve seen Claire protect her with her life and she only ever had her best interests at heart."
He concludes:
"I hope Kerry knows what Claire did for her. Reports say Kerry has been meeting up with Mark Croft again but I have no idea if this is true or not. I just hope she knows what she’s doing."
Course she doesn’t know what she’s doing, this is Kerry Katona that we’re talking about!
We don’t know if Beyonce’s concert last night was much of a secret as most people seemed to know about it, however it’s fair to say that the gig – held at the Shepherd’s Bush empire – was an intimate affair.
The crowd comprised of a group of competition winners plus a selection of the singer’s celebrity fans including the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin, Jay Z, Adele, Jessie J, Tom Ford, Alexandra Burke, Tinie Tempah, Stella McCartney, JLS singer JB, Paloma Faith plus Glee stars Chris Colfer, Mark Salling and Kevin McHale.
So just a couple of famous faces then?
Beyonce apparently put on a very energetic set, despite probably being worn out from her Glasto appearance the day before, and played such hits as Single Ladies, Work It Out and Run The World (Girls) plus she did a cover of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, which was said to be brilliant by all accounts. Then again, would you expect anything other than that from Beyonce? Nah.
If we had been lucky enough to blag a ticket to watch Andy Murray play Richard Gasquet at Wimbledon yesterday we would have found ourselves in a bit of a quandary.
Would we watch the match or would we spend the afternoon ogling Kate Middleton and Prince William as they took their seats at the front of the Royal Box? Oh decisions, decisions.
If we're honest we would have probably ended up with a headache as we tried to keep one eye on both.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge received a warm welcome as they arrived on the eighth day of the annual tennis championships and after winning in straight sets Murray said:
“If I'd known they were coming, I would have shaved. I was thinking to myself as I came off I was sweaty and very hairy. I said to them, “I'm sorry, I'm a bit sweaty”. But it was very nice to get to meet them.”
If you’ve seen any of Katie Price’s reality TV shows you’ll know she’s a competitive kind of girl and she has to be the best at everything.
But funnily enough she appeared to have nothing but respect for Leandro Penna when he showed off his impressive ball skills during a polo match in Berkshire yesterday.
The former glamour model seemed to be in her element as she spent the afternoon with her hunky boyfriend and some pals.
Meanwhile, in related news Katie’s soon-to-be ex-husband, Alex Reid has been talking about how he feels about their failed marriage and believe it or not he had nothing but kind words to say.
“She’ll always have a special place in my heart. I would have given my life for her. I am a romantic for better or for worse, so yeah, that hurts,” he said before gushing about how happy new girlfriend Chantelle Houghton has made him.
They’re both massive movie stars in their own right, and earlier tonight (June 27) Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks were in the house to premiere their new flick “Larry Crowne.”
The “Pretty Woman” babe and the “Terminal” hunk showed up at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre to greet fans and press and to promote the soon-to-be-released movie
With Hanks helmeted up while arriving at Grauman's on a sporty little scooter, the 54-year-old actor then joined alongside co-star/wife Rita Wilson and Miss Roberts, with other stars on-hand including Jenna Elfman and fellow castmate Taraji P.Henson.
Due to hit theaters nationwide this Friday, July 1st, “Larry Crowne” certainly promises to be one of the summer’s premiere film events.
Besides Hanks, Roberts, Wilson and Henson, the cast includes Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer, Wilmer Valderrama and Pam Grier.Photo Credit: Getty Images
Giving ladies another reason to hit up their local shopping center, Adriana Lima appears in a new photo shoot for Victoria’s Secret.
The fabulous supermodel shows off her hot body in the new line of apparel from the lingerie giant, offering a wide range of items on which to splurge.
Adriana explained that beauty is all about self-confidence. “Being a bombshell is about embracing yourself and feeling confident.”
She continued, "You have to find something you feel comfortable in. It's not about showing more or less, it's about you feeling confident with what you're wearing. I love triangle-shaped tops and bottoms, the smallest ones possible because I hate tan lines."
And Ms. Lima is a big proponent for getting into a regular exercise regimen. “Also it helps with your mood, you look great, it helps with your skin, and also it helps with my immune system too. I never get sick when I work out. I have actually more energy. Working out should be a part of everybody’s routine.”

Taking her high energy show to the City of Lights, Janet Jackson gave a fabulous performance in Paris, France today (June 27).
The “Rhythm Nation” songstress looked to be in fine form as she took the stage at the Olympia Arena and sang to an eager crowd.
From here, Janet will be traveling to the UK where she’ll play a three-show set in London, England. Later this summer, Janet has tour dates in the USA as well.
On a personal note, Ms. Jackson remembered her late brother Michael as his 2-year death anniversary occurred on Saturday.
Taking care of some promotional duties, Shia LaBeouf was spotted at “The Late Show with David Letterman” today (June 27).
The “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” stud looked hunky as he made his way inside the Ed Sullivan Theatre to chat about his upcoming flick “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.”
During the episode airing later tonight, CBS tells that LaBeouf, 25, goes into detail about what happens to those who butt heads with his "Transformers" director, Michael Bay.
Meanwhile, in another recent interview, Shia discussed his status as Steven Spielberg’s go-to star for his big-budget franchises.
"That's a gift and a curse. Steven introduced me to the world in a way. The man has been incredible to me. But the work that I've done with him, the character variation is not heavy," he told, adding, "It's sort of all in the same vein. … I've gotta anchor these movies that are in these outrageous worlds, and I have to be as tangible as possible. … I have no problem with that, but I don't want to be there forever."

Tending to her all-important motherly duties, Halle Berry was busy picking up her daughter Nahla from school in West Hollywood on Monday afternoon (June 27).
The Oscar-winning actress looked summertime chic in a flowing white sundress as she scooped up her growing tot with the pair heading to a local ice cream parlor for a refreshingly chilly treat.
And while Miss Berry is currently enjoying spending her time off with her little princess, recent reports indicate that the 44-year-old may be headed back to the small screen.
According to Deadline, Halle is attached to star as a college professor in a series titled "Higher Learning" - with the show currently being shopped around to premium channels including HBO and Showtime.

She's one of the most sought after faces in show business, and Taylor Swift was nabbed to cover the August 2011 issue of Teen Vogue.
Posing for a colorful pictorial spread, the country singing cutie chatted with teh magazine about a range of topics including performing, her friends, and favorite songs
Highlights from Miss Swift's interview with Teen Vogue's August 2011 issue are as follows:
On which character she'd choose to have dinner with: "Detective Olivia Benson from Law & Order S.V.U. I sit in my apartment and watch hours of that show. So I sort of feel like me and Olivia are BFFs."
On the top three songs inspiring her now: "'She's So High' by Tal Bachman (the sweetest song !!), 'You Learn' by Alanis Morissette, 'Shot in the Dark' by Augustana."
On getting nervous prior to performing: “I do [get nervous]. But only if I’m not sure what the audience thinks of me, like at award shows. I never look down at the front row! My heroes watching = nerves!”
On her closest friends: “My friends all have different jobs — some I get to see at award shows, some I see when they’re home from college, some are in my band! I’m so lucky to have so many people I love and trust.”
On the one frock which she fancies the most: “I get to wear it every night on tour at the end of the show when I’m singing ‘Love Story.’ It’s long and sparkly (big surprise, right?) and a total princess dress.”
On what she'd be if she weren't a singer/songwriter: "I'd be doing something creative and idea-related—like coming up with ad campaigns or writing novels. Or I'd work with kids!"

Looking to discuss life, love, and work, Kellan Lutz has revealed news of his new movie "Immortals," pal Nikki Reed's wedding, and his relationship with AnnaLynne McCord.
The 26-year-old Hollywood hunk phoned in to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" earlier today (June 27) to dish about conditioning for his forthcoming film, in which he sports an impressive set of six-pack abs for his role as Poseidon, explaining, “We had a great fitness regimen. The nutritionist gave us great food to eat. Then our trainers, just worked our butts. We worked out so many hours everyday, for months. It was really fun to be a part of that and actually train for the role.”
Kellan also spared a minute to chat about his "Twilight" co-star's upcoming nuptials to "American Idol" contestant Paul McDonald, telling Ryan, “I’ve never seen Nikki so happy and we really got close throughout all these movies. I’m just so happy for her. It’s great to see, especially in Hollywood, that real lovely happiness or marriage and I hope I’m invited!”
As for the all-important are-they-or-aren't-they question that often surrounds him and on-off girlfriend Miss McCord, Lutz revealed, “We are both busy and we are both focused on our work.”

She’s always easy on the eyes, and earlier today (June 27), Belen Rodriguez was spotted out on the beach in Formentera, Spain.
The 26-year-old Miss Sixty model had all the boys drooling, including her boyfriend Fabrizio Corona, with her skimpy swimsuit and killer curves.
Earlier this month, Miss Rodriguez was busy working hard on a photo shoot in Ibiza, Spain and showcasing a variety of sexy getups.
Belen began making headlines back when she dated Italian soccer stud Marco Borriello, though she’s since moved on with Corona, a Sicilian photographer and television personality.Photo Credit: SplashNewsOnline.com
Following reports that suggested Two and a Half Men would write out Charlie Sheen's character by simply keeping him in Paris, where he jetted off to the last time we saw him on screen, sources now say Chuck Lorre wants to ensure Sheen can never return to the CBS sitcom...
... by killing Sheen's Harper off.
Will Charlie Sheen be eternally LOSING on Two and a Half Men?
CBS insiders tell TMZ Alan and Jake will learn about Charlie's fate early in the September premiere, and then Ashton Kutcher will arrive when his character buys Charlie's house.
However, no scripts have actually been turned in yet, so any development is possible. What do you think about the sitcom murdering Charlie Harper? Too harsh? Or the proper outcome for a star who burned this bridge in such a flagrant manner?
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who resigned after attempting to sell or barter President Obama's seat in the U.S. Senate, has been convicted of a VAST range of corruption, bribery and extortion charges.
His attorneys insisted that FBI wiretap recordings in which he discussed many illegal activities were just the ramblings of a politician who liked to think aloud.
But Blagojevich, who spent 2 1/2 years becoming a punchline, yet professing his innocence on reality shows and on the witness stand, went down hard.
The guilty verdict caps an incredible story in which Rod Blagojevich infamously said, on a tapped phone, that the chance to appoint the Senate successor to Obama after he was elected president was "f---ing golden."
Not something to give away "for f---ing nothing," in other words.
He faces up to 300 years in prison, though sentencing guidelines are sure to reduce his time. Still, prosecutors will likely push to have him incarcerated.
Rod may not have a leg to stand on. The Feds had been investigating him for years before the senate seat incident (hence the number of charges).
A status hearing for sentencing was set for August 1.
The Survivor host is the latest big name to land his own talk show, as he confirmed a deal with CBS today that will have the untitled gabfest on the air in 2012.
“I’m fascinated with human nature and thrilled that this show will allow me the opportunity to connect with real people and explore their stories on a personal level,” says Probst, who isn't leaving the reality show that made him famous. “As I continue with Survivor, I am excited to extend my relationship with CBS with this new adventure in the world of daytime.”
Probst has stepped in before on Regis and Kelly and on Larry King Live. The new show will cover everything from current events to extraordinary tales.
It’s been almost two months since Mariah Carey gave birth to her twin babies Moroccan and Monroe and we must admit we’re starting to wonder when she was planning to finally introduce them to the world.
After all, this is the woman who posed completely naked when she was heavily pregnant in those horrific pictures, which are forever etched in our memory, so she’s hardly the shy and retiring type.
But alas the babies are now 7 and ½ weeks old and this is all Mimi is prepared to offer: a picture of her daughter’s hand.
“This is baby Monroe saying "no pictures dahhhhling" at 7+1/2 weeks.. oh dear :)” she Tweeted last night.
It’s been reported that while watching her future hubby perform with his band, The Kills at Glastonbury festival on the weekend Kate Moss’ £14,000 engagement ring slipped off her finger and disappeared in the mud. What a nightmare!
An onlooker revealed, “Everyone was looking for the ring, with Kate practically hyperventilating at the side of the stage.
“She was screeching at her mates, begging them to get down on their hands and knees and trawl through the mud for her sparkler.”
But alas they couldn’t find it. How awful. Although that being said, what kind of idiot wears a £14,000 ring for a weekend of hardcore partying in a mud-pit? Answer: the sort of idiot who can afford to easily replace it, so let’s not feel too sorry for her.
Hang on, what’s that you say? Kate actually found her ring a few hours later wrapped in some tissue in her handbag? Wow.
“Kate was cackling hysterically but no one else found it quite so funny.”
So you blame them? She had them rummaging in the mud for crying out loud. Idiot.
Back in March, when Japan was struck by a devastating earthquake and tsunami of epic proportions, Lady Gaga felt compelled to help.
The Poker Face singer quickly designed a white rubber ‘pray for Japan’ bracelet, which went on sale for £3.10, plus £2.49 shipping costs and 37p taxes.
Aw, wasn’t that nice of her? Well, maybe not.
A law firm based in the US is suing Gaga for more than £3million, claiming she inflated the costs of the band and pocketed the extra cash.
Alyson Oliver, who filed the suit, told The Sun:
“When you use your celebrity and your power as a musician to take money from people under false pretences, that's just wrong.
"When we tried to communicate with the defendants in this lawsuit, all we got was: 'Well, some of the money is being retained, but we don't really know how much.'”
Avril Lavigne was flaunting her enviably toned figure in a black and purple stripped bikini as she exercised on board a luxury yacht in the South of France yesterday.
The Complicated singer enjoyed an afternoon workout session with pals, before slipping into the sea to cool down.
Keeping up with their royal duties, Prince William and Kate Middleton paid tribute to UK servicemen and women Saturday on Britain's Armed Forces Day.
The Duke and Duchess were originally scheduled to spend 30 minutes with the guardsmen at William's first event as Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish Guards.
However, Will and Kate presented Afghanistan campaign medals to members of the Irish Guards and honored soldiers and their families for over an hour.
William (with spouse Catherine) is a handsome man in uniform.
Prince William, who is the honorary colonel of the unit, also presented the Elizabeth Cross to families of three fallen servicemen in a private ceremony.
"I am proud to be your colonel," William told the guardsmen. "I am humbled by the thought of the sacrifices that you and your families have made and the losses you suffered, all in the service of our country."
Naturally, Kate Middleton helped her man honor them in style, donning a simple fascinator paired with a chic navy blue coat dress and matching heels.
Justin Theroux, Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend, is doing a number on her.
The usually reserved actress is "naughtier now than she's been in years!" a source reveals to E! News. "She is noticeably more fun and open and sassier."
The tight twosome have been stuck at each other's hip lately and Aniston even had Justin in tow for a recent appearance on Inside the Actor's Studio.
Who is this girl and what has she done with Jen?!
They may or may not be moving in together, but things seem to be getting more serious with her motocycle-riding, boots-wearing Wanderlust co-star.
She gushes about how she loved her Horrible Bosses role, and how liberating and fun it was to be dirty and push the boundaries of what people expect.
Heck, she's even making penis jokes and dropping F-bombs.
As if that weren't enough, Jen has made a permanent change. Her reps confirmed to Life & Style that she got her first tattoo (Theroux has several).
A raunchy role, some permanent ink and a new attitude. All thanks to her new man, who we can't thank enough ... even if she pulled an Angelina.
Chris Brown may have dominated the BET Awards on stage last night, but a pair of young studs caught everyone's attention on the red carpet.
That's where we found Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith, both looking as cute as ever and both posting for photographers.
Justin would later present Best Male Hip Hop Artist to Kanye West, flirting with Nicki Minaj and saying he could handle her curves. Yikes! Watch that awkward video HERE and then vote below:

Often-embattled and controversial R&B star Chris Brown triumphed last night at the BET Awards, taking home four awards, including the viewers' choice prize.
"I know it's been a long road, so I just appreciate every blessing that's been in front of me," Brown told the audience after accepting one of his many honors.
Here's Chris performing "She Ain't You" and "Look at Me Now":
In an odd turn of events, Brown's name was called as the winner of the viewers' choice award ... and then Rihanna's. Canadian rapper Drake (who is rumored to be dating Rihanna) awkwardly appeared to accept on her behalf.
Later, it was revealed that Chris Brown was the actual winner and there had been a technical error. He was given the award, but not before the pre-chosen fan who announced the winner on Twitter was eviscerated for the error.
In any case, congratulations to Chris on a great night.
We've already seen the photographic evidence, but Kim Kardashian officially answered a question no one was asking last night: Yes, her butt is real.
In the following +/- review of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, we examine this life-altering news and also give major points to Kris Jenner for owning up to what her family is...
Kim reads one story about her receiving butt implants and simply can't believe the world questions her real body. PLUS 8 because we sympathize with this frustration. The only fake thing about Kim is the interest she takes in any of her Facebook followers.
PLUS 8 more to Khloe, who was on fire this week. She referred to her sister's ass as "iconic," she performed a "squish test" between Kim's rear end and Kourtney fake boobs. These sisters touch each other so often, you'd think Ray J was constantly on hand with a camera.
MINUS 3, though, for the siblings' ignorance: why should viewers believe what a doctor says when everything else on this show is entirely scripted?
Kris Jenner wants to change her last name to make it consistent with the "brand." PLUS 2 for honesty, but MINUS 15 for hurting Bruce Jenner's feelings. Hasn't this guy been through enough with that botched plastic surgery?
A record MINUS 47, meanwhile, because Kris actually uttered these words: "It's like the Kennedys. Everybody knows the Kennedys." Yes, she compared to the Kardashians to the Kennedys. We kept waiting for her to laugh. She never did.
Khloe finished off her best episode to date, fortunately, by talking some sense into her selfish mother. PLUS 10 for convincing Kris that maybe she ought to be loyal to her husband of 20 years and then PLUS 5 more for Kris actually hanging a photo of Bruce in the hallway. It only took two decades.
