Beckinsale dishes on her Silverman girl crush
Friendly exes are nothing new among Hollywood's consciously uncoupled, but Kate Beckinsale says her feelings run deep for ex-boyfriend, Michael Sheen, and his girlfriend, Sarah Silverman. "Michael and I have obviously not been together for a very long time, what 16 years or 15 years, something like that? And we've always got on really well. So I'm always surprised when people find that surprising because it's quite well-established. It's just that I'm quite deeply in love with his girlfriend. So that's new," she joked in an interview Thursday in Los Angeles.
Beckinsale, Sheen and Silverman shared an emotional reunion at Tuesday's Los Angeles premiere of Beckinsale's new
period comedy, "Love & Friendship." The celebrity trio was all hugs and smiles as they greeted each other and posed for photos on the red carpet. Beckinsale wiped tears from Silverman's beaming face before the group headed into the screening. "We just like each other. I always get really excited when I see Sarah. I forgot there was that many cameras there. But yeah, we had just been to see my daughter's school play about three days before so there's really no excuse for everyone getting over-excited like that," Beckinsale explained.
Beckinsale and Sheen have a 17-yearold daughter, Lily. "Love & Friendship," from writer-director Whit Stillman, was
shot in Ireland and is set in the 18th century. Beckinsale's favorite part was the local lore surrounding U2's Bono. "We shot in Dublin, which is a gorgeous and beautiful city and full of the most incredible people. And everybody's got a story about Bono, which I found fascinating. So you're going to a pub and someone will say `let me tell you my story about' and then the driver would tell it and the man who cleaned out the trailers had a Bono story. Bono gets around apparently in Dublin! And everyone's got one, which I loved," she said. Beckinsale stars as a recently widowed social climber with a delightfully devious partner in crime, played by Chlo? Sevigny. It opens May 13. -- AP
Justin Timberlake
returns with cheery pop
Pop superstar Justin Timberlake returned yesterday with his first new song in three years, a cheery pop number that will appear on his upcoming movie "Trolls."

Timberlake released a video for "Can't Stop the Feeling" in which the singer dances across his studio with appearances by other voice actors from the movie including actress Anna Kendrick and fellow pop star Gwen Stefani. "Trolls," a three-dimensional animation to be released by studio DreamWorks on November 4, is based on troll dolls, the frazzled-hair toys that have enjoyed periodic popularity in the West since the 1950s and are based on the mischievous small hermits of Norse mythology.
But "Can't Stop the Feeling" has little obvious connection to trolls and instead takes on a summery party vibe, with an electronic backdrop to the chorus in which Timberlake sings, "Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance."
The sound is stylistically consistent for Timberlake, who has recently appeared with country stars Little Big Town and Chris Stapleton, raising speculation he would make a musical turn back to the genre rooted in his native state of Tennessee.
Timberlake became a superstar in the late 1990s as a member of NSYNC, one of the most successful boy bands. He managed not only to stay successful but to win critical respect as a solo artist, often adopting an R&B sound. The song is his first release since his double-album "The 20/20 Experience" in 2013 and since he and his wife, actress Jessica Biel, had a child a year ago. Timberlake, 35, has also been an active actor, playing roles in films such as the Facebook drama "The Social Network" and "Inside Llewyn Davis," the Coen Brothers' dark take on a struggling folk singer. -- AFP
Cinema from Hollywood's golden age is enjoying a revival with the emergence of retro video streaming and a burgeoning festival scene belying the old joke
that nostalgia ain't what it used to
be. More than 25,000 fans from as
far afield as Australia and Japan hit
Hollywood over the weekend for
the TCM Classic Film Festival, run
by cable network Turner Classic
Movies for a seventh year. The
smaller but more established
Cinecon, which has drawn afi-
cionados to Tinseltown for more
than 1,500 screenings over half a
century, returns in September with
a schedule of "rare, unusual and
unjustly forgotten movies."
Meanwhile LA-based American
Cinematheque hosts a three-day
festival over the weekend of Laurel
and Hardy's work, photochemically
and digitally restored from the orig-
inal 35mm film. The opening night
program includes a screening of
"The Battle of The Century" (1927),
featuring the largest pie fight ever

Former "Jersey Shore" star Jenni "JWoww" Farley has welcomed her second child, a boy. In an Instagram post, JWoww says Greyson Valor Mathews was born Thursday night, weighing in at just over 7 pounds.
