Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie — who has an impressive number of action roles to her name, including her latest film Salt, Wanted, and Lara Craft: Tomb Raider — does as many of her own daring stints as possible because it impresses her six children.

“The funny thing about having children is that now I am twice as motivated to do a cool stunt because my kids will like it,” Angie reveals in the new April 22/31 issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Angelina raises Maddox, eight, Zahara, five and Pax, six, as well as three biological children; Shiloh, three, and 20-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne; with boyfriend Brad Pitt.

Dances with Wolves is hitting the bright lights of Broadway in a new dramatic musical.

Acclaimed Broadway producer Matt Murphy has acquired the stage rights to Kevin Costner’s 1990 Oscar-winning film — which was adapted from the 1986 bestselling novel by Michael Blake — and is in the early stages of bringing the period piece to the Broadway stage.

“Dances With Wolves will be a uniquely spectacular and dramatic new musical,” Murphy told BroadwayWorld.com this week. “I envision a score that is inspired by Appalachian, folk, Civil War era, and Native American music, coupled with a production design that celebrates the spirit and ceremony of Native American culture amidst the awe-inspiring landscape of the American frontier I am seeking a creative team who can make the epic story of Dances With Wolves sing for a new medium and a new generation of audiences.”

Wolves sweeped the Oscars in 1991, taking home prizes for Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Picture, Best Sound and Best Adapted Screenplay. Costner played Lieutenant John Dunbar, who became accepted by the Sioux Indians, in the film, which he also directed.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are considering getting married in Japan, sources say.

Last week, pop star Rihanna — who happens to be one of Katy’s dearest friends — accidentially let it slip that the couple were planning to get hitched in India later this year. However, the pair have since decided to keep their options open, tipsters tell The Mirror.

Russ and Katy are said to be marrying at the end of the year, almost a year to the day the British comic proposed to the American pop star after just a few months of dating. The couple originally planned to wed in India, in an intimate ceremony before close friends and family within the grounds of the Taj Rambagh Palace hotel — where Russell popped the question — but they’re now exploring other host cities.

“The pair wants to keep people guessing and on their toes – even their celeb pals…. Russell told a couple of people that they were also considering Tokyo as a venue. It is a really buzzy, vibrant city and somewhere completely different and unique. Katy kept jokingly hitting Russell, telling him to keep his big mouth shut. Katy really likes the idea of wearing some kind of Geisha-inspired bridal dress so it is a real possibility.”

Lindsay Lohan is getting on her knees for next film role. Although producers deny it, LiLo has been telling anyone who’ll listen that she was recently cast to play adult film icon Linda Lovelace in an upcoming biopic about her life. Lovelace — who would become a feminist activist in her later years — is best remembered as the star of the X-rated epic Deep Throat, one of the few adult films to gain mainstream notority in the 1970s.

Tina Yothers, of the ’80s sitcom Family Ties, was cast as Lovelace in the Broadway production Lovelace: The Musical. Rose McGowen was the last actress reportedly in chats to play Linda on the big screen.

Lovelace died in a car accident in 2002.

Waking up to find out the world thinks you’re dead must be disturbing to say the least – just ask Leona Lewis. The “Bleeding Love” songbird is the latest victim of an internet death hoax.

A joke that the 25-year-old waitress-turned-international singing star had passed away sent fans on Twitter into a frenzy on Thursday night.

One blogged: “Is Leona actually dead or is it just a rumour? Please tell me it’s not true. I feel like crying.” Another wrote: “Is Leona really dead? What a waste of talent.”

This isn’t the first celebrity death hoax to sweep the world’s fast-growing social networking site. Johnny Depp and Bill Cosby have both been the target of internet death jokes this year alone.

Hugh Hefner doesn’t believe in sex addiction. The Playboy founder — who has famously enjoyed relationships with multiple girlfriends at the same time on the E! reality series The Girls Next Door — claims the mumbo jumbo “condition” is just a “cop out” for cheaters careless to have gotten caught.

Here’s what the 84-year-old had to say on the topic in a chat with AskMen.com this week: “I think by and large it’s a cop out. I think ’sex addiction’ is a convenient phrase for what is really an obsession. Sex is not like a drug or alcohol. It doesn’t affect the physicality in the same way. But it can become very obsessive. Neurotic people can do very foolish things. People make choices. Most people who cheat do it because they think they can get away with it.”

Some people never learn: Kiefer Sutherland was kicked out of a London strip club early Friday after before getting into a scuffle with bouncers — drunken and shirtless.

It all went down at the Stringfellows Club in the Foggy City, where, according to The Sun newspaper, an inebriated Sutherland knocked back one too many and began dancing erratically and shouting at other patrons.

The Emmy Award and Golden Globe award-winner, best known for his role as Jack Bauer on TV’s recently-cancelled 24, was described by onlookers as “absolutely screamingly paralytic” and was put in a headlock by security as he violently lashed out during a drinking bender last night.

Sutherland turned his wrath on club security after he was quietly asked to leave the establishment.

“He went bananas (mad), shouting nonsense and dancing like Peter Crouch before kicking off when he was asked to leave,” says a spywitness.

The shirtless star was photographed being hauled out of the venue by doormen, who dragged him from the club and pushed him into a waiting vehicle – only for the star to escape the car and take a tumble on the street.

Oh Kiefer…SMH. Bad things happen when Kiefer starts hitting the bottle: Sutherland served 48 days in prison in 2007 and early 2008 after pleading no contest to a DUI charge. Just last year, he was charged with head-butting fashion designer Jack McCollough.

The star is in London to plug his new film Twelve.

Could Paula Abdul be headed back to the judges’ panel of American Idol? In Touch Weekly tattles seem to think so. While many A.I. fans would love to see the ’80s pop star join former frenemy Simon Cowell on the US adaptation of Britain’s The X Factor, Idol bosses are reportedly wooing Paula in hopes that she’ll bring her slurred speech and emotional outbursts back to TV’s most watched talent show.

Getting Paula back is even more important to FOX producers now that ABC’s Dancing with the Stars has been consistently gaining on Idol in the ratings arena. And even more viewers are expected to bid farewell to the series when Cowell retires his sharp-tongued critiques on next month’s ninth season finale.

“They want Paula back,” the insider told In Touch this week. “They’re not sure if she’d be the fifth judge, but they are talking to her. People tuned in to see Paula’s wacky antics and her chemistry with Simon. The show is just not as much fun to watch without her.”

Chi-Ching! Let that cash register ring: Larry King and wife Shawn Southwick – who both filed for divorce on Wednesday – did sign a prenupital agreement when they wed in a Los Angeles hospital room almost 13 years ago, which means the bespectacled host of CNN’s Larry King Live is going to lose some mayjah moolah if he wants to ditch the old ball and chain.

“She is a tall, good-looking blonde and that pretty much explains it,” a source says of why the 76-year-old didn’t protect his empire before tying the knot for the eighth time.

Larry’s net worth is an estimated $144 million and his current CNN contract is reportedly worth $56 million over 4 years. Did we mention that The Kings are residents of California: a community property state where all monies earned during a marriage are split right down the middle?

Shawn is the mother of Larry’s two youngest sons Chance and Cannon and his seventh wife (Arlene Atkins married King twice in the 1960s). Perhaps the most explosive allegation in Southwick’s divorce filing is the former singer’s assertion that the TV titan has been secretly sleeping with her younger sister Shannon Engemann.

The pair reportedly fought bitterly for years over Shawn’s belief that King was having an affair with Shannon, 46.
King spent $1 million on Engemann and lavished her with gifts, including a $160,000 car.

Both Engemann and King deny the affair allegations.

Bruce Willis — star of action flicks like Die Hard and Cop Out — is entering the heavily-saturated market of celebrity fragrances.

Willis has inked a deal with cosmetics maker LR Health & Beauty Systems, and will by launching his first men’s scent on July 1, Women’s Wear Daily said Thursday. Celebrity fragrances have been on the rise of late, after having enjoyed a boom with starlets like Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, and most recently Beyonce.

We wonder what Bruce Willis’ signature scent will smell like?

We’re christening Charlie Sheen PopCrunch’s “Dirty Dog of the Day” after the trouble-prone actor reportedly cheated on his wife in the bed they share together. According to RadarOnline, the star took escort Angelina Tracy back to the house he shares with his drug-addicted wife Brooke Mueller and their young twins and had sex with the pro in the couple’s bed.

Radar also reveals that a stressed-out Sheen “pulled a Britney Spears and shaved his head” after photos surfaced of him on this week’s cover of In Touch Weekly allegedly wearing a fake moustache disguise after a tryst with Tracy. The magazine ran the images with the headline: “Caught Cheating!”

For the record, a rep for Sheen denies that the star has been unfaithful to Mueller.

Holy nice abs! By the looks of his well-sculpted physique on the cover of Men’s Health’s May issue, the newly-single Ryan Phillippe won’t be looking for love much longer. Nonetheless Ryan says he still feels uneasy about his split from ex-wife of seven years Reese Witherspoon. Phillippe called it quits with the Oscar winner in late 2006 and the pair have since become friends.

“I still have sadness and complicated feelings about my divorce,” he says of the mother of his two children. “But how beneficial is it to keep hanging onto those feelings?”

Yahoo! Movies is chiming in on the Great Movie Debate with a new list — “100 Movies To See Before You Die: The Modern Classics.” The list is anything by a regurgitated roll call of cinema classics like The Wizard of Oz and Casablanca– the site has put together a collection of 100 great films released in the last 20 years.

“From big budget blockbusters, to breakout independent films, to discoveries from around the world, we have seen exciting and groundbreaking cinematic work created in the last two decades. For our second installment of our “100 Movies to See Before You Die,” we decided to highlight these “Modern Classics” made between 1990 and 2009. Like our first list, we chose movies based on their artistry, originality, and pure cinematic entertainment. And even we were surprised by the results.”

The list features hit films, cult classics, and some of the most innovative animated hits to grace the silver screen: including The Dark Knight, Inglorious Basterds, Good Fellas, Beauty And The Beast WALL-E, and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy. Even flicks like Eve’s Bayou and Thelma & Louise earn nods.

“I’m starting to feel that people are saying I’m Lady Gaga and also that Jesse James woman (Michelle McGee). I’m starting to feel insulted, because I don’t want to look like either one of them….” Marilyn Manson, April 2010

Tina Fey and Steve Carell are already eyeing a second joint venture, Mail-Order Groom, on the heels of the success of their new comedy Date Night.

Warner Bros. is developing the silver screen side-splitter — co-written by Fey’s real-life husband, 30 Rock co-executive producer Jeff Richmond — about a lonely American woman who orders an Eastern European soldier as her new mate.

Russell Brand suggests that the music industry expose teenyboppers like Justin Bieber and The Jonas Brothers to powerful controlled substances — like heroin, for instance — thereby weeding out the future rock stars who don’t have the moxie to deal with the perils of superstardom through “natural selection.”

“The top of the hit parade would look very different if teenyboppers were exposed to heroin,” soon-to-be Mr. Katy Perry remarks in the new issue of Rolling Stone. “It would weed a lot of them out. I don’t think Justin Bieber could handle [Pink Floyd member and heavy user] Syd Barrett’s habit . . . A lot of people in their journey to rehab overdose, and then, perhaps, we would be spared their awful music. It’s Darwinian. It’s the law of natural selection.”

Good to see Russell taking a break from wedding planning and getting back to what he does best: Offend people.

Melissa and Tammy Etheridge are the latest showbiz pair to call it quits in a month that has seen a bevy of celebrity splits.

A spokesperson for the “I Run For Life” hitmaker confirmed that the couple has ended their relationship after almost nine years together in a statement to PEOPLE Magazine on Thursday.

“Melissa and Tammy Etheridge are saddened to announce that they are now separated,” the singer’s rep told the mag. “We ask for consideration and respect for our family as we go through this difficult period.”

Melissa, 48, and Tammy, 35, exchanged vows in front of family and friends in Malibu in September 2003 and Tammy gave birth to the couple’s twins, son Miller Steven and daughter Johnnie Rose, in 2006.
