Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are moving to Venice for three months. The Hollywood couple and their six children – Maddox, eight, Pax, six, Zahara, five, Shiloh, three, and 19-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox – arrived in the Italian canal city yesterday (16.02.10) and intend to stay there while Angelina films her new movie ‘The Tourist’.

In case it didn’t get drummed into you nearly enough, 2010 is going to be about 3DTV. According to the WSJ , Hollywood studios are seeing the “Avatar effect” which is making them rush out 3D films extra-fast. We already know some of the big 3D titles that’ll be hitting this year, but apparently over 20 will be fighting each other off to be screened in the 10 per cent of 3D-compatible cinemas in the US. Alice in Wonderland, Clash of the Titans and How To Train Your Dragon will all be released before April, with Despicable Me and Toy Story 3 in July and Harry Potter, Megamind and Tangled in November. Cinema chains are quickly adding as many 3D screens as they can squeeze under their roofs, but there’s an obvious strain that could result in ticket prices increasing to compensate for all the massive overheads.

Kim Cattrall thinks ‘Sex and the City’ has changed Hollywood’s attitude to women. The 53-year-old actress has just finished filming the second film installment in the hugely successful franchise – about a group of friends in New York and their relationships – and believes the drama has given a fresh dimension to people’s viewing options.

Daryl Hannah was “blacklisted” from Hollywood because she suffered from Asperger’s Syndrome. The ‘Splash’ actress was diagnosed with the illness – which limits social interaction – early in her career and admits she almost ruined her professional life because she was so nervous of doing promotion as it involved talking to lots of people.

James McAvoy is not a leading man. The ‘Last Station’ star – whose wife Anne-Marie Duff is currently pregnant with their first child – is aware he doesn’t look like a typical action hero but hopes his talents can help him win bigger Hollywood roles.

Vanity Fair came out with their list of Hollywood’s top earners of 2009. They have an “unscientific” formula for determining who made how much, you can check it out here .

Daniel Radcliffe was the highest paid actor in Hollywood in 2009. The 20-year-old actor – who plays the title character in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise – was paid a staggering £41million last year according to a list of the top 40 earners by Vanity Fair magazine, making him the most bankable actor in Hollywood – though not worth as much as leading directors..

Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep have been sending each other death threats. The Hollywood stars – who are both nominated for Best Actress at the forthcoming Academy Awards – are equally keen to win the honour and have jokingly been warning each other about how far they will go to be victorious.

Colin Firth isn’t offered big Hollywood roles. The 49-year-old actor – who has been nominated for an Academy Award for his role in ‘A Single Man’ – insists his successes haven’t opened too many doors but he is content with the work that comes his way.
