Naomi Watts took a tumble during a flight and had to be wheeled off the aircraft.

The actress was on her way to start a vacation with her family in Italy when she fell on a flight to Naples. She needed a wheelchair to leave the plane.

Watts was wheeled from the craft with her elder son, Alexander, on her lap and appeared upright and fine.

She then joined her partner, Liev Schreiber, who is father to her two sons. The pair was spotted diving into the Mediterranean off the Amalfi Coast.

What makes anything better?

A little bit of Efron, especially when he's singing a catchy tune.

Hugh Jackman is set to team up with Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Beyonce Knowles (barf), Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper to perform a musical extravaganza at the Oscars this weekend, all directed by Baz Luhrmann.

Hells to the yeah.

The theater geek inside of us, who lives next to the 13-year-old girl, just squealed with pleasure.

Australia co-stars Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman pose together at the film’s premiere last night at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City.

They look like they’re at red carpet prom.

Between Nicole’s botox addiction and Hugh’s case of gay face, we’re guessing the prom theme was Beards, Hags and Divas.

We kid, we kid.

We don’t care if Hugh Jackman is gay or straight, we just have to poke fun at Nicole. She was married to Tom Cruise after all.

Knock knock.

Who’s there?

Orange.

Orange who?

Orange you sexified by my sun-kissed, orange skin, baby?

Looks like fashion icon Valentino decided to channel Hollywood publicist Elliot Mintz and George Hamilton by hitting up the same tanning bed/mystic tan den of doom before hitting last night’s premiere of Baz Luhrmann’s Australia in New York.

We know they’re all so enrapturing, but which leathery lothario would you rather? And, no, you can’t say all three.

Hugh Jackman and Josh Lucas both attended last night’s tribute to visionary film director, producer and screenwriter Baz Luhrmann at the Museum of Modern Art film benefit in New York City.

Both men clean up mighty fine, but who would you rather?

Hugh in his penguin suit with designer scruff, or Josh, unbuttoned and sporting an alluring glimmer in his eye?

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
