Hugh Jackman Refuses to Wax His Nuts!
Actor Hugh Jackman was ready when it came to having his body waxed in order to fit into the costume of Wolverine, but he put his foot down when it came to having his nuts waxed.

Jackman, who plays the role of Wolverine in all three X-Men movies, had to be smooth all over to be able to fit into his character's leather cat-suit.

"I was waxed, every bit of hair. My torso, my legs, everything was gone - well, not completely. I insisted on them leaving that area alone. I loved it but it looked ridiculous," he said.

Meanwhile, the actor has revealed that his wife likes him to wear his 'Wolverine' costume in the bedroom. He confessed that his wife Deborra-Lee was thrilled when he kept his black leather outfit after shooting the latest film.

"I feel a bit silly in the outfit but, believe me, my wife really likes it. They'll have to make a new one for the next movie, because she won't let me part with it," he said.

Wentworth Miller wants to be the new Tom Cruise
Ambition burns deep in Wentworth Miller, who has great plans for the future. His name has been marked in Hollywood's galaxy as Michael Scofield, the sibling who will go to any lengths to save his brother Lincoln from death row in one of 2006's standout series, Prison Break.

The show has scored well with audiences everywhere. It's given Miller a taste for success - one measured by his own standards - after years of auditioning for bit roles but never quite cracking it. Now he wants to be a Hollywood player.

"This is an incredibly brutal profession," says Miller.

"Don't get me wrong, we're not working in a coal mine, but to be rejected day in and day out does take its toll, and if you're someone like myself, who I don't think fits into a pre-established mould, it can become even more difficult.

"If you're a young Tom Cruise, Hollywood knows what to do with you because Tom Cruise has worked so well. They're desperate for a young Tom Cruise. But if you don't fit into a particular mould, you have to actually go out and establish that type first.

He added, "It's my greatest hope that in 10 to 15 years there's some casting director in Los Angeles who says, 'I need a young Wentworth Miller'."

David Blaine's next stunt
Illusionist David Blaine is to live "harmoniously' in the jungle for his next stunt.

The magician plans to be left "alone" in the Tanzanian jungle where 150 people are attacked by wild lions a year with just a TV crew present to film his actions.

Blaine narrowly escaped death during his last stunt where he was suspended in a giant fishbowl for a week. The illusionist hoped to end this extravagant display by beating the world record for holding your breath underwater, currently held by Tom Zitas.

However, he fell short of the world record, which stands at 8 minutes 58 seconds, after passing out after around 7 minutes.

Blaine is currently recuperating after suffering from liver failure and severe caused by the aquatic stunt.
