Aniston denies beingcrier over split with Pitt
NEW YORK -- Jennifer Aniston says she's been wrongly pegged as a crier since splitting with Brad Pitt.
Aniston reportedly broke down during an interview for the September issue of Vanity Fair.
"I was upset about the Vanity Fair article. I had one moment when I got emotional because I hadn't sat down with an interviewer since this whole debacle took place," Aniston told Newsweek magazine. "It happened for a second and then it was over."
The 36-year-old actress has said the media coverage and tabloid rumors were hard to deal with -- especially reports that she didn't want to start a family.
Her divorce from Brad Pitt became final Oct. 2, concluding 41/2 years of marriage. They separated in January.
Latest 'Potter' film opens
LONDON -- A sense of magic and excitement was in the air in London's Leicester Square as Harry Potter fans waited in the rain to greet cast members attending the premier of the latest Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
Producers describe the film -- the fourth in the series about the bespectacled young wizard -- as the darkest production yet; it is the first of the films so far to achieve a PG12 rating, meaning children under 12 should not see it without adult supervision.
Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Potter, attended the premier Sunday evening along with Robbie Coltrane, who plays Harry's friend Hagrid; Michael Gambon, who stars as the kindly Albus Dumbledore; and Maggie Smith, portrayer of Professor McGonagall.
"Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire" was the fastest-selling book in history on the first weekend of its publication in July 2000. The films of the first two books grossed more than $1.7 billion worldwide.
Author J.K. Rowling has completed six of the seven Potter books she promised her young readers.
Jackson to be honored
HONOLULU -- Samuel L. Jackson has been selected to receive the Achievement in Acting Award from the Hawaii International Film Festival.
"He's a minority American actor who has gone on to incredible international fame. ... He's wildly popular in Japan, Korea, for example, [and] just seemed like the perfect choice for us," said Chuck Boller, executive director of the Pacific Rim-focused festival.
Jackson has 80 films to his credit and is known for his roles in 1994's "Pulp Fiction" and this year's "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith."
He just finished filming "Black Snake Moan" with Justin Timberlake and Christina Ricci in Tennessee.
Still due out this year is "Freedomland" -- somewhere around his sixth film for 2005 -- co-starring Julianne Moore.
Horn appears on stage
BRANSON, Mo. -- Two years and one month after a tiger attack that nearly killed him, magician Roy Horn and his partner Siegfried Fischbacher were back on stage but as patrons rather than performers.
The Las Vegas team of Siegfried & amp; Roy visited the Ozark resort of Branson to promote the show of prot & eacute;g & eacute; Darren Romeo and make promises about their own return to performing.
"We will be back," the black-clad Roy told reporters, speaking on the stage of the Welk Resort Theater before Romeo's show. He didn't say when that might be.
"I will make sure of that, because I am making a remarkable recovery," he said. "The doctors have assured me I will be better than new."
Roy, 61, has been undergoing rehabilitation since being partially paralyzed when a 380-pound white tiger attacked him on stage and dragged him by the neck during a performance at The Mirage resort in Las Vegas in 2003.
In Branson, Roy limped as he walked with the help of a black cane in his right hand and held his left arm crooked by his side. His words were slurred at times, and he left in a wheelchair after walking onto the stage with Siegfried.
