The trailer for the upcoming film Les Miserables was just released, and upon first glance it looks like it's going to be a box office smash!
Anne Hathaway, who has undergone a massive weight loss and transformation for her role, delivers a chilling performance as the film's ill-fated Fantine, and is bound to wow audiences with her vocal skills in the opening act "I Dreamed a Dream."
Based on the 1862 Victor Hugo novel, the movie has been in the discussion stages since the 1980s but is finally coming to fruition by Universal Pictures and is set to be released Dec. 14. Directed by Oscar winner Tom Hooper, the film also stars Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Colm Wilkinson.
Is there another Oscar nomination heading Miss Hathaway's way? We think so!

Katie Holmes is filming her latest movie near a New York lake ... AND drinking a mug of beer. Talk about a great day on the job!
Tom Cruise's ladylove sat on the deck while filming Christian Camargo's untitled movie while her co-star William Hurt took a ride on a wagon that was headed straight for the water. Let's hope they got that in one take!
Katie's latest project is a modern retelling of Anton Chekhov's famous play "The Seagull."
The film's name has yet to be decided, but perhaps we can suggest "Me And My Brew." Just sayin'.

Sharon Stone has still got it!
The 54-year-old actress was spotted getting all frisky in the sand with her hunky Argentinian boyfriend, Martin Mica, in Venice Beach, on Tuesday afternoon, and they couldn't keep their ands off each other!
The cozy pair practiced yoga stretches, shared intimate kisses, and Mica even gave the Basic Instinct actress a back rub, before they took a romantic stroll and stopped for lunch.
Stone doesn't appear to be bothered by the recent lawsuit that was filed by her former nanny, alleging she was fired for accepting overtime pay and was also subjected to racial comments about her Filipino heritage and religious beliefs. Apparently the actress also asked the for the money back, before giving her nanny the boot.

Nothing hits the spot like a cup of frozen yogurt!
Today Kim and Khloe Kardashian stopped to grab some creamy goodness at a fro yo joint in the valley, and sisters couldn't stop giggling as photographers snapped away. We're not sure what's so funny, but perhaps it had something to do with the raunchy tweets Khloe was posting earlier today? "Who needs twit pic when you can d*ck pic," she wrote, to which her older sister Kourtney responded, "Or cl*t pic!" While that's a bit of an information overload, are we surprised? Nope!
Meanwhile, momager Kris Jenner was snapped leaving a meeting in her white Bentley:
Think someone's planning a reality show featuring Kim and Kanye?

Kat Von D is being sued by State Farm Insurance for $909,199 after evidence that the 2010 fire which destroyed her Hollywood Hills home was ultimately her fault.
State Farm paid for the damage initially, but TMZ reports that they want the money back because it was the tattoo artist/reality star who left candles burning throughout the house, causing it to go up in flames.
Kat lost her cat Valentine and most of her possessions, and at the time she said of the blaze, “My house burned down last night with my cat inside. Finally get to sleep away the rest of today. Hope tomorrow is gentler. To gain everything, you must lose everything.â€
The suit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday.

Vanessa Hudgens and boyfriend Austin Butler were snapped checking out of the Nice airport today, and the lovebirds are headed home after a quick stay in France.
V. Hudge attended a few events at the Cannes Film Festival, and though none of her projects were being honored, there is a billboard for Spring Breakers on display in the city!
