Beautiful Indian actress and model Freida Pinto smiles as she touches down at LAX airport on Saturday (December 10) in Los Angeles.

The 27-year-old Immortals actress is back in the U.S. after spending time in Europe, where she attended the Chanel Paris-Bombay Show at the Grand Palais in Paris, France.

Freida recently spoke with the Wall Street Journal about how she’d like to play a variety of roles, not just parts in more independent features.

“I still enjoy films like 300 and Gladiator, and actually when I watch the films I see myself fitting into some of those roles; I feel, why not? Why not be part of something like that as well,” she said.

The John Singleton-directed film is the actor’s bid to become an action star and leave his identity as a young heartthrob behind. But if the reception Lautner got outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre was any indication, it’ll be a while before he can entirely abandon his teen pinup reputation.

Hundreds of girls lined Hollywood Boulevard, chanting “Taylor!” repeatedly in unison as Lautner made his way down the street, stopping to greet fans for nearly 40 minutes. Though “Abduction” is Lautner’s first major role on the big screen, he came across as a veteran movie star, looking polished in a tailored suit and waving to those he didn’t have the time to meet.

It’s no coincidence that Lautner exudes the presence of a Tom Cruise or a Matt Damon, said Singleton: The director asked the actor to watch the films of such stars to prepare for “Abduction.”

“We studied Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon — I mean, we even studied James Dean — because I wanted him to see people that were kind of in his position when they were young and how they evolved and changed as artists, just so he could get a sense of what his own path would be,” the filmmaker said.

Christopher Nolan is meticulously secret when it comes to the plot of his movies, particularly the Batman films, which is why it’s surprising to see how insanely out in the open production on The Dark Knight Rises in Pittsburgh has been so far. The entire Internet’s already seen Bane in full costume, and now here’s Christian Bale’s Batman fighting him in broad daylight. On top of that, you can see Marion Cotillard clear as day, and a goddamn married couple just walking up to the set and posing for pictures with The Batmobile.

I’m almost afraid to see more photos because I’m pretty sure they’ll just be Christopher Nolan handing out copies of the script at a Pirates game. “On page 67, you learn Joseph Gordon-Levitt is really Dick Grayson. We film that scene in the strip district Tuesday at 10. Bring a camera!”

The rumors that the late Heath Ledger will be seen as the Joker in “The Dark Knight Rises” are not true. Director Christopher Nolan and his wife producer Emma Thomas both deny that the deceased actor will be involved. Thomas said: “I heard the rumor. We’re not doing that”. Ledger died of an accidental drug overdose in January 2008.

Heath won a posthumous Academy Award (Oscar) for his performance as The Joker in the Dark Knight, but there had been rumours that cut footage from the movie could be used in the new instalment. The director and Thomas have dismissed those claims.

Also, Aaron Eckhart said he won’t be in “Dark Knight Rises”. The actor confirmed he had a meeting with Nolan on the beach and the Director delivered the news to him. “I was heartbroken,” Aaron said of learning that he won’t return as Harvey Dent.

Meanwhile, Nolan has said that “The Dark Knight Rises,” which is due in theaters in July 2012, will be his final Batman movie.

A new trailer for Vince Vaughn’s new film “The Dilemma” has been released after CNN Journalist Anderson Cooper visited The Ellen Degeneres Show and criticized a scene in the film. Anderson Cooper and GLAAD’s protest of Vince Vaughn film where according to Mr. Cooper they used the term “that’s so gay” in a pejorative way. GLAAD stands for “Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation”. All this BUZZ caused the studio to release a new trailer.

In the first trailer of the film, Vince Vaughn’s character says: “Ladies and gentleman, electric cars are gay.” Cooper told Degenres, “I was shocked that not only that they put it in the movie, but that they put that in the preview. They thought that it was OK to put that in a preview for the movie to get people to go and see it.”

The Dilemma is set to be released on January 14, 2011. GLAAD released a statement on Friday about the scene saying, “It’s hardly a joke for LGBT audiences growing increasingly frustrated by use of the word ‘gay’ as a pejorative.” The group also adds: “GLAAD expressed these concerns directly to Universal Pictures prior to the trailer’s release, who have now assured us that the offensive joke will be removed from TV and Media campaigns promoting the film from this point forward.”
