An art dealer has been charged with stealing more than $1 million worth of paintings from Hollywood star Robert De Niro – all painted by the actor’s late father.

Lawrence Salander, 60, is accused of ripping off De Niro as he sold artwork by the late Robert De Niro Sr.

Prosecutors say that the art dealer sold the De Niro works, but failed to tell the Goodfellas actor exactly how many of his father's paintings were sold, and also failed to pay De Niro for “the majority of those sales.”

We get it, Emile. You’re so indie it hurts. You’re an artiste with taste and passion and talent and that means you won’t bow down to The Man by doing something absurd like showering, shaving or putting on clean clothes. It also means you can show up to screenings stoned out of your mind because that’s how you unleash the creative torrent that lives within you.

You’re so cool. We hope one day we can be one millionth as totally bitchin’.

Now, seriously, take an effin’ bath!

We can smell you from here.

For decades, film lovers have pined for the on-screen coupling of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. After a tantalizing, ten minute tease in Heat, Righteous Kill is their first film side-by-side, an event that should be heralded by angels.

Sadly, the film falls far short of the grandeur this pairing deserves.

Super-angry supermodel Naomi Campbell has been banned from appearing onstage at Nelson Mandela's upcoming 90th birthday concert by Mandela himself, whom she refers to as her “honorary grandfather.”

According to reports, Mandela personally intervened to ensure Campbell was removed from the line-up for Friday's festivities following the guilty verdict in her assault case.

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!
