Ryan Reynolds' will reprise his role as X-Men mutant Deadpool after landing his own spin-off in the comic book film franchise.

Reynolds starred alongside Hugh Jackman in the fourth movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine; and studio bosses at Twentieth Century Fox have already begun development on a film to flesh out his character's story, reports Variety.

The actor will take over the big screen as Deadpool and alter-ego Wade Wilson, a cancer-stricken mercenary who becomes an indestructible mutant thanks to a genetic experiment. Just last week Wolverine director Gavin Hood sparked reports Reynolds is set to star in his own X-Men movie, revealing he hopes to chronicle Deadpool's superhero background.

Jennifer Aniston is being linked to actor Bradley Cooper after the pair reportedly flirted up a storm at Tuesday's party for her new movie, Management.

A new report describes how Bradley tried to enter the bash incognito by wearing a rubbish diguise of hat and glasses, before getting cosy with the actress once inside – much to his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Esposito's disgust.

"Bradley and Jennifer [Aniston] were definitely into each other," a partygoer tells New York Post's Page Six.

Britney Spears has many demands, but when she is staying at a hotel while on tour she has some interesting ones indeed.

Among her requests: a room that has "never" been smoked in, humidifiers in all areas, a selection of current magazines, fresh flowers she'll arrange herself, chick-lit novels, DVDs of Marilyn Monroe movies, 100-watt light bulbs, running routes for Hyde Park and more. She won't need special pillows because she bring her own. And one more thing: Security will sleep outside her room.

She also recently decided she wanted to shell out $30K on an oxygen chamber.

"Since her Vancouver gig, where she ran off stage as it was too smoky, she's become paranoid about breathing in too much bad air," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "She's keen on an oxygen chamber that will reverse any smoke inhalation damage."

Spears isn't the only star to indulge in the the expensive gadget - Madonna, Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson all own one.

Tom Hanks has declared he is finally confident about his acting ability.

"I no longer feel insecure about my acting. Early on I took any job that was offered, milking it for the money," said the double Oscar-winner.

"I had no idea what I was doing - that's when insecurity and self-loathing start."

The 52-year-added that he has also thrown away his vanity.

"After a while you have to give up being vain. In [new film] Angels And Demons I have to wear a Speedo to go swimming," Hanks told Britain's Radio Times.

"It takes a real man to slap on a Speedo and say, 'I'm ready for work.'"

Check out the first picture from IRON MAN 2 with Robert Downey Jr.

Thanks to USA Today, we finally get more of Tony Stark aka Robert Downey Jr.

Jon Favreau is also back behind the camera and if number 2 is as good as number 1 was, I think we're in for a treat.

Favreau told USA Today that the movie "takes place six months after Tony Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man, and the development is playing out with unexpected results."

Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx wants to make a biopic based on the life of boxing legend Mike Tyson.

Foxx, who won critical acclaim for his portrayal of soul legend Ray Charles in the flick 'Ray', admitted that he would love to portray Mike in a flick.

"I think I would have to play Mike Tyson. I've talked to Mike several times and his story is the most tragic American story... Mike's story is about what America and the world is about today," Contactmusic quoted Foxx, as saying.

"Coming up at 18 years old and getting his $60 million and not teaching him what taxes are about, about vultures, about people who will never be real with you as long as you have the money," Foxx added.

Foxx revealed that he has already started working on his dream project.

"I'm working on securing the rights to the movie," Foxx said.

That is one movie I won't be watching nor will care to miss.

Scarlett Johansson's dream of being a director was dashed on her first try.

Johansson -- who's said in the past she'd prefer to direct rather than act -- helmed a segment for the upcoming movie "New York, I Love You," a series of intertwined love stories shot by several auteurs, including Brett Ratner and Natalie Portman.

But unfortunately for Johansson, her segment, starring Kevin Bacon and shot in black and white, was deemed "unwatchable," sources said.

The film's producer, Emmanuel Benbihy, said Johansson's bit ended up in the scrapheap not because it was bad, but because "the story did not specifically involve an interpersonal relationship, and it was conceptualized to be filmed in black and white -- both of which were extreme departures from the other films."
