Oscar-nominated actress Carey Mulligan is reportedly lonely after moving to the US.
The 24-year-old has moved in with her American actor boyfriend Shia LaBeouf, 23, who lives in America, and she is reportedly homesick after leaving friends and family behind in Britain.
A pal said to UK Newspaper The Mail on Sunday: “Carey is lonely, the move has been hard on her and she has found herself taking second place for the entire awards season.”
Mulligan has already split with the Transformers actor once before and she is reportedly doubting their union once again.
The friend added: “Carey is having doubts again. She has been working hard and so has Shia. They only ever get a couple of days a week to spend together. Now Carey is feeling restless once more.”

Charlie Sheen will return to Two And A Half Men next week, his publicist said.
Sheen reportedly underwent rehab and is in the “process of exiting” the facility, according to ABC Australia.
Sheen’s life unravelled after an alleged domestic violence outbreak last Christmas involving his wife Brooke Mueller in Aspen Colorado. He faces a court date in Aspen on Monday to answer felony charges arising from the Christmas Day arrest.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports Sheen publicist Stan Rosenfield said: “He returns to the show for the March 19 taping.”
Speculation about the effect of a hiatus on the CBS hit show followed the announcement Sheen was starting rehab on February 23. However, one report notes the hiatus will have lasted only three weeks in a month that has a built-in one-week hiatus for cast and crew.

Cherie Currie recently talked to Spin magazine to talk about what she thought when she saw the movie ‘The Runaways’, which is about her band with Joan Jett back in the 70s. The iconic rock star said “I was stunned. When you live something, your first reaction is to say, ‘Well, that’s not right’ or “Wait a minute, it didn’t happen that way.’ Then Joan and I saw it again and thought, ‘Wow, this is really good.’ It takes time for it to sink in. I thought the performances were just incredible.” I wonder what she felt when she heard Kristen Stewart’s and Dakota Fanning’s renditions of some of their songs.

Tim Burton might be in charge of movie takes on Alice in Wonderland, but Helena Bonham Carter calls the shots at home.
The Alice star said: “At home I’m the boss – he calls me ‘chief’ and I would say on the whole he likes me to make the decisions. He’s not a mad professor type. His time management is good. He is financially responsible. A part of him maybe exists in an alternative reality but he is a very sane and grounded good father.”
Burton, whose 3-D fantasy film starring Johnny Depp has taken London by storm, is the father of Bonham Carter’s two children. The actress admitted things can get contentious on set. “At work is where we sometimes get it wrong. He’s the boss and I’m not as silent as he’d like me to be.”

Alice In Wonderland director Tim Burton said he almost never made the movie.
The filmmaker, who has previously worked on flicks such as Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride, is behind the new movie starring Johnny Depp and Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter.
The movie is more of a sequel than a remake and follows Alice’s return to Wonderland when she’s a teenager.
He said: “A few years ago, I don’t know if I would’ve been as intrigued [by the story]. There’s 20-something versions and I’ve never really connected to any of them.”
However, it was the chance to make a 3D version of the tale than finally made him agree to it.
He said: “The way the characters and images have infiltrated culture is so strong, I thought it was an interesting challenge.”

Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz has shown his softer side in a new advert for PETA’s animal adoption campaign.
The movie vampire can be seen cuddling up to rescue dog Kola, who he found in an animal shelter, for the animal charity’s current Adopt, Don’t Buy campaign.
He said: “There are countless numbers of animals out there. It’s our job to take them under our wing.”
Recalling his first meeting with Kola, who he calls his “best friend”, he added: “I touched her toe and said, ‘Hey, what’s your name?’
“She spoke to me. From that day on, I loved her.”
According to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), about eight million unwanted dogs and cats enter shelters every year.
Sadly, half of them have to be put down because there is not enough space to house them.
Lutz, who has another rescue dog called Kevin, said: “It’s sad, knowing that they get [put down].”
He added: “For the fans of Twilight out there who have so much love, give that love to a pet if you don’t have one.”

Oscar hopeful Anna Kendrick is making the glitzy awards ceremony a family affair – so she can introduce her mother to George Clooney.
Instead of having a hot date on her arm, the Up In The Air star will be walking the red carpet with her mum and brother.
“I’m flying them out. I’m so excited,” she said. “My Mom wants to meet George Clooney.”
Kendrick, 24, is nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category at this year’s Academy Awards.
But she confessed she was too nervous to watch the Oscar nominations announcement.
“I went for a run at five in the morning,” she said. “I just waited for my roommate to text me.
“And then it was actually really nice because I was sort of alone in the dark. I kind of wanted to shout, but I didn’t want to wake everyone up at 5.30 in the morning.”

Johnny Depp’s reaction to being named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” was that it must have been a joke.
Depp, 46, was named for the second time after first making the grade in 2003. Hugh Jackman took the title in 2008 but said he also was at a loss as to why he was chosen.
Depp even beat out mega heart-throb Robert Pattinson of the Twilight series. He said: “That should be someone else, that confuses me beyond recognition. I don’t know how to react. I really thought it was a joke.”
Depp is star of the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies and three times has been nominated for an Oscar. He recently said he was still surprised by his cinematic awards.

Drew Barrymore left a couple of key people out of her Golden Globe acceptance speech.
The actress, whose classic Hollywood gown won her fashion editor praise, was given the Best Supporting Actress award for her work in the HBO mini-series Grey Gardens. But she forgot to thank her off-on boyfriend Justin Long.
“I screwed up so hard in my speech,” Barrymore said backstage. She did not forget to kiss him before leaping up to get her award, however.
And it was noted she also forgot to mention her Grey Gardens co-star Jessica Lange.
But in a re-enactment of her moment, Barrymore told Lange (who was not present): “I wish that I could split this award in half!”
She also said: “And I have a great date. Thank you, Justin. He’s been making me laugh all night.”

Twilight star Kellan Lutz has confirmed reports that he’s in the running to star in movie Conan the Barbarian.
Lutz, 24, who plays Emmett Cullen in the hit Twilight saga, admitted that he is definitely up for the role.
He told E! Online: “It’s something I’ve been actively going after because I’d die to put the weight back on.
“I’m tired of playing young. I want to be the big guy that I was.”
He added: “I’ve been auditioning. They’re finalising so they’re trying to figure out what happens next. I’ve been waiting for a while, doing screen tests. There are just so many cooks in the kitchen.
“If it happens, it happens… Regardless, it’s not gonna be the new Arnold Schwarzenegger type of movie, no one’s going to try and play that role. I think they’re going for a different type of story.

Channing Tatum suffered a burned penis when scalding hot water was poured on him during filming for a movie.
Tatum, 29, who starred in GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, said he went to a hospital when boiling water was poured down a wet suit in an on-set accident in Scotland. He was shooting for an ancient Rome movie titled The Eagle Of The Ninth.
He told US Details magazine: “I was trying to pull the suit away from my body to somehow get away from the boiling water, and the more I pulled the suit away, the lower the water went,” he said.
On the way to the hospital, Tatum recalled telling the driver he may have to be knocked out for the pain. Once at the hospital, “I had five guys looking at my shrivelled, burned penis,” he said.
He has since made a full recovery.

Avatar star Sam Worthington has defended the buzz cut hairstyle he adopted for his upcoming film Clash of the Titans.
The 33-year-old Australian said he shaved his head as soon as he knew he had the part of the heroic Perseus.
He said: “I never looked at it in the sense of great mythology or anything like that. That was the reason I shaved my head, to be honest. My mate said to me: ‘They didn’t have buzz cuts in those days’ and I said: ‘It ain’t a history lesson and they didn’t have winged f*****g winged horses either’.”
He also told Australia’s Sunday Herald Sun: “This is a romp, it is a friggin’ Saturday morning popcorn movie. I don’t have any illusions that we’re trying to say this is how Greek mythology was.”
Clash of the Titans also stars Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton and Liam Neeson.
The plot follows Perseus in his quest to stop the underworld and its monsters from conquering the Earth.
It will be released in March.
