Selena Gomez has been acting since she was 10 years old.  Now at the age of 18, Gomez is one of the most famous young stars in the world. Gomez made a name for herself starring in the Disney Channel hit, Wizards of Waverly Place. Gomez also has a blooming film career, having starred in Ramona and Beezus and the new teen movie, Monte Carlo, where she co-stars with Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester and Glee’s Cory Monteith.  Monte Carlo opens in theatres this Friday.  

Gomez has recently been the subject of all the gossip web sites and magazines, due to her personal relationship with music star Justin Bieber.  Despite the intrusion into her personal life, Gomez has handled fame well.  Even with all of the attention she is receiving, Gomez tells us that she is the same girl she was before fame, and all the press she is getting comes with fame.

Since “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” was the movie that made Jim Carrey a bona fide star, it only makes sense that he’d return to the animal kingdom for another movie eventually.

Take a look at the interview, along with a few fun scenes from the movie, and let us know if you’re excited to see Carrey return to his roots.

Thanks to his starring role in the “Twilight” movies, Robert Pattinson is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood.  But although he gave a good performance in the drama “Remember Me,” it didn’t perform as well as many thought it would have at the box office.  Will Pattinson’s fans follow him aside from “Twilight”?  Will he be able to gain new fans from outside the “Twilight” universe?  We’ll find out the answer this weekend.  Pattinson gives the best performance of his career in the movie “Water For Elephants,” which opens this Friday.  Like “Twilight,” the film is based on a best-selling novel, and Pattinson’s terrific acting job is complemented by compelling performances from Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz.

When we spoke with Pattinson, he talked about working with his other co-star, Rosie the elephant; how he’s feeling more comfortable as an actor; and how he will look back at the “Twilight” movies now that “Breaking Dawn” is almost ready to wrap.  Take a look at the video, and let us know if you’re looking forward to seeing Pattinson in “Water For Elephants.”

In much the same way “The Lion King” used African rhythms to make its soundtrack stand out, the makers of the new animated film “Rio” wanted to give the movie’s music a Brazilian feel.  After all, it is set in Rio de Janeiro, right?  So they hired Brazilian music legend Sergio Mendes as executive music producer, and under his direction, they assembled a team of musicians to give the movie a signature sound. 

In casting the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am and Jamie Foxx as feathered friends in the movie, they also created a potent musical duo — the two of them collaborated on the movie’s musical centerpiece, a sizzling Samba-influenced track called “Hot Wings.”

Fox All Access producer Jeff Axelrod traveled to Rio to talk to some of the musicians behind “Rio’s” hot soundtrack, including Mendes, Foxx, Will.I.Am, and Taio Cruz, who wrote and performed a new song for the movie, “Telling The World.”

“Rio” opens in theaters everywhere this Friday.

In his new movie, Martin Lawrence figures to be bigger than ever — literally!  Yes, Big Momma is back, and he’s got company in “Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son.”  Because not only is Lawrence’s FBI agent back to posing as a woman, so is his stepson as they go undercover at an all-girls school to try and catch a killer.  When Fox All Access talked to the two stars, Lawrence told us about how much easier it was to film this installment of the “Big Momma” series, while Brandon T. Jackson spoke of the admiration he had, following in the famous, high-heeled footsteps of Dustin Hoffman’s “Tootsie” and Robin Williams’ “Mrs. Doubtfire.”  “Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son” opens in theaters everywhere on Friday.
