Have you been reading the casting news for spy thriller The Double and begun thinking to yourself, ‘well, Richard Gere, Topher Grace and Stephen Moyer are all very well, but what about a brace of exceedingly attractive ladies for the gentleman cinemagoer?’ Prepare your brain for the happy dance, fans of aforementioned female-type persons, because The Unborn’s Odette Yustman and Quantum of Solace's Stana Katic have just joined the cast.

Wanted co-writer Michael Brandt’s directorial debut tracks a retired CIA agent (Richard Gere) who must team up with a young FBI agent to find the Russian spy who slaughtered a senator.

Katic, usually to be found trading quips with Nathan Fillion on the TV mystery show Castle, has signed on to play a bolshie Russian prostitute who is holding on to some vital information.

Yustman, meanwhile, will be Grace’s wife, who is raising the family while also dealing with her husband’s increasingly hectic and dangerous career at the FBI.

Brandt’s regular scripting partner Derek Haas co-wrote the script, and production gets underway on June 21. With Katic in particular on board, we are now 73% more interested in the film.

Hard at work on her latest role, Kristen Bell got down and dirty on the set of her new movie "You Again" in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon (August 12).

With mud all over her face, the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" actress busily shot scenes while clad in a tight-fitting, black Nike workout ensemble.

Directed by Andy Fickman, the upcoming comedy boasts a star-studded cast including the likes of Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, Jamie Lee Curtis and Betty White, among others.

According to IMDB, the film finds "a young woman realizing her brother is about to marry the girl who bullied her in high school, so she sets out to expose the fiancée's true colors."

Hard at work on her new movie, Kristen Bell was spotted filming a scene for “You Again” in Los Angeles on Tuesday (August 4).

Co-starring Odette Yustman and Sigourney Weaver, the film sees “a young woman realize her brother is about to marry the girl who bullied her in high school, so she sets out to expose the fiancée's true colors.”

Aside from “You Again,” Miss Bell also stars in the upcoming movie “Astro Boy,” which hits theaters on October 23, 2009.

Asked what she enjoyed most about playing her character in the animated flick, Kristen replied, “I really enjoyed that she has so many layers ‘cause she really tried to grow up too fast, and she’s sort of the den mother. She’s the maternal aspect for all these runaway kids. And, I can very much relate to that young maternal instinct. She also has a sense of protection for them, and she’s pretty sassy and opinionated, and keeps a very tough exterior. But, throughout the course of the movie, you learn a lot more about her and learn that she’s a real softy, on the inside. You really see who she is.”

Showing off her fit figure, Kristen Bell stepped out in a smoking hot aqua blue bikini as she hit the beach in Hawaii on Thursday (June 18).

With boyfriend Dax Shepard by her side, the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" actress and her man splashed around in the water after finding the perfect perch to catch a little sunshine.

On the career end of things, Miss Bell is getting ready to star in a movie called "You Again," in which "she discovers her brother's fiancee is actually her high school nemesis."

Making for quite the star-studded ensemble, it was just recently announced that Kristen will be joined by co-stars including Kristin Chenoweth, Victor Garber, Jamie Lee Curtis, Betty White, Odette Yustman and Sigourney Weaver.

 Just when you thought Megan Fox couldn’t possibly get any more perfect (she likes action movies and plays Guitar Hero and is pretty like a sunset), along comes the news that she’s signed on to star in not one, but two comic book movies – Jonah Hex and Fathom.

Yep, it turns out that the 22 year-old Transformers star is also a huge comic book fan. Not for nothing is our notebook full of heart-shaped doodles which say, ‘Mrs. Megan Empireonline.com’.

Anyway, first up for Fox will be Jonah Hex, the sci-fi Western based on the DC character. Fox will take a supporting role in the Jimmy Hayward-directed movie as Leila, a gunslinger who provides the love interest for Josh Brolin’s scarred bounty hunter. John Malkovich will play a voodoo priest who wants to raise an army of the undead with a view to liberating the South.

That movie, which is already full to the brim with awesome, shoots in April.

Then – and this one seems closer to Fox’s heart – will come Fathom, based on the comic book of the same name by the late, great Michael Turner, one of Fox’s favourite artists.

Fox is set to star in that as Aspen, a young woman who finds out that she’s part of a race called The Blue, a group of humanoids who can control water. Of course, that’s only the tip of the iceberg…

Speaking of icebergs, James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment had held the rights to the Fathom movie, but they lapsed recently, allowing producer Peter Safran to package the movie and shop it around. Fox will not only star in the movie, but she’ll play an active part in developing it too, with a producer credit of some kind to come.

Fathom will obviously take longer than Jonah Hex, but we wish Fox well with both projects. She’ll next be seen, of course, in Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, a small indie movie about a giant robot that falls in love with a shy shopkeeper. Probably.

Is it all too much for Miley Cyrus?  The teen princess and Hannah Montana star is a victim of what Star calls "jealousy, tension and constant fighting" and they claim the teen queen's hidden home life is a nightmare.  The magazine takes a look inside the house and declares, Poor Miley Cyrus!  She's the darling of tweens around the world, but all that fame and adoration can't make up for her stress-filled home life.

The item notes, "Ever since her 20 year old boyfriend, Justin Gaston, moved into the family home in Toluca Lake, Calif., Miley's been battling with her parents, dad Billy Ray and mom Tish have been quarreling, and even her little brother and sister have been ganging up on her."  The article cites sources that tell Star the inside dirt on the family.

"Miley's mom and dad bicker nonstop," a friend of the family revealed to the weekly entertainment magazine.  "They thought having Justin in the house would make it easier to keep an eye on him and Miley, but they're having a hard time because Justin has no boundaries."
The friend says that Justin - an underwear model and wannabe singer who insists that he and Miley do not sleep together walks around in nothing but his briefs, angering Billy Ray.  And he has a ferocious appetite, so he repeatedly raids the family refrigerator!  "Justin recently devoured an entire apple pie that Billy Ray was looking forward to eating when he got home!" says the friend.  "Unfortunately, all he found was the empty tin."  Oh the humanity! Never eat dad's last piece of pie.
