Brad and Angelina have legally adopted Adam West.

Ivan Rietman has recaptured the magic of ghostbusters with every film he has made since.

Mark Whalberg had to wear a prosthetic penis for Boogie Nights because his was too darn big.

Micheal Biehn cannot possibly have it as he doesn't properly exist in our universe. He is merely a theoretical construct of metaphisical ideas regarding the existance of 'IT'

Weeks before he died Orson Wells had singed to play Doctor Who.

As did John Candy

Sex Lives Of The Potato Men......no i can't say anything complementary even in jest it's shit.

Hostel is the sequel of The Passion of the Christ.

The Oscar judges were sentenced to death by firing squad after not voting A Very Long Engagement to a single nomination.

AVP is used in Iraq as a means of torture.

Studio Ghiblis next feature is to be a semi-biographical fantasy on David Hasselhoffs time working on Baywatch Nights.

Rob Zombies remake of Halloween is tipped to be bigger than Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings combined. As well as merchandising which will include a Michael Myers soap on a rope and dining set.

Before his Oscar for weird scientist guy in Howard The Duck, Tim Robbins used to make the plastic bits on the ends of shoe laces.

Elijah Wood has the largest penis known to man. He keeps it locked in a cupboard so nobody can steal it.

Joel Shmumacher was once bet $1 that he couldn't make a movie that made Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney and Uma Thurman look like fools and it would become one of the most hated blockbusters of all time. Tim Burton still owes him the dollar.

All of Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy's scenes were cut from the original 3 hour version of Short Circuit 2 when producers wrongly thought a white guy 'browned up' as an Indian fella was funnier and not at all racist.

Danny Devito is really Sly Stallone in disguise.

Drew Carey and Jim Carrey are identical twins. Jim adds an 'r' to his surname to fool everyone.

Michael Biehn does indeed have "It" - literally. He kidnapped Cousin It from the Addam's Family (who're real, of course) and he keeps him in a cage in his kitchen. He tenderly renamed It "Shit". He only feeds Shit jam, and as a result, Shit is now a large hairy ball. Sometimes, when he's drunk, Biehn molests Shit, and when we wakes the next day and remembers, he weeps for hours on his bedroom floor.

Michael Douglas seduced Catherine Zeta-Jones by singing "Born Free" in the middle of a crowded LA eaterie - she wept big, fat, Welsh tears of joy. His private nickname is now "Elsa" and he wears a shaggy brown wig (his "mane") while they make love.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney like to unwind by wrestling, naked, in front of a vast roaring fire. Matt Damon likes to watch. Sometime they let Clooney's pet pot-bellied pig join in, although it's made to wear a muzzle.

Tom Hanks has a morbid, uncontrollable fear of badgers. This dates from a childhood camping trip, where - in the deep of night - an adult male invaded his tent and shat on his sleeping bag. Many years later, on a miserable Autumn's day, Hanks was in England filming a scene for Saving Private Ryan when, suddenly, a rutting badger came lumbering out of the undergrowth, snorting in anger. Hero Hanks was so frightened that he actually ran away like a girl whilst a) squealing like a piglet, and b) wetting himself. Such was his terror that he temporarily lost his mind, fled the perimeter of the set and roamed wild for a few days. A search was mounted, and on the third day he was spotted by a lighting-rigger; he was (purportedly) semi-naked, crouched on the ground and prodding a cowpat in curiosity (some members of the rescue team insist to this day that he was about to eat it). Upon spotting the rescuers, Hanks bravely made a run for it, but Vin Diesel eventually rugby-tackled him to the ground and straddled him, while a worried Spielberg talked him round. He was crying, filthy and pee-soaked (he is known as "Honkin' Hanks" within the industry), and he needed three months of intensive therapy before he would return to the set. These days, he has a "No Badgers" rule written into his contract, and if one approaches him at any time on a film-set, he automatically gets double his original fee.

Jim Cameron genuinely believes that he's "King of the World". His Oscar speech was a cry for help, but everyone just sniggered and ignored him, and once the ceremony was over, Scorsese and his cronies flushed his head down the toilet. He deals with the pain by building elaborate structures out of Kraft cheese slices, which he only ever refers to as "manna from Heaven".

Sorry to go slightly off-topic here, but his pig died last week which makes your fact all the more gross (and funny)

Steven Segal was the first choice to play Tom Hanks character in Sleepless In Seattle, but saw into the future and saw he would eventually make another film with Meg Ryan so he pulled out.

John Woo's greatest dream was to direct the remake of Bewitched. He still cries into his pillow every night.

If, on the main menu of the extended DVD version of The Two Towers, you press 1, 1, 9, 6, pause, menu, 4, 5 stop, stop, 2, 0, skip back, 1, play, subtitles, 7 within 4 seconds of it appearing you get an easter egg of John Rhys Davies drunkenly frolicking naked on the set of Mount Doom.

Uwe Boll is an avant garde genius. sorry....too unbelievable?

Ever since the ghost of christmas future visited him, Robin Williams refuses to work on wednesday afternoons.

A film is to be made of Stephen Hawkins' time as a stealth ninja assassin. Dick Van Dyke is tipped to play the deadly genius.

Borat is Mel Gibson's alter-ego

Orlando Bloom is Lawrence Olivier reincarnated

Vin Diesel's trademark gravelly voice is actually his high voice. He regularly intakes helium so no-one can hear his actual voice. If you were to hear his real voice your head would cave in, your Colon would shrivel up and a little bit of wee would come out. The last known person to hear Vin Diesel's real voice was Stephen Hawking. He was not pleased.

My pet bulldog does a mean Don Vito impression.

James Nesbitt had such a severe piles on the set of Bloody Sunday that he asked the director to cut all the scenes in which he had to sit down. As a compromise, Paul Greengrass said "well, you've got to do the press conference scene, at least. It's kind of pivotal for your character." The tears Nesbitt sheds are real, and he actually stood up about 3 lines too early, as he couldn't take the pain any longer. There was only 1 take.

The character of Stumpy in Rio Bravo is based on the ex-US President Richard Nixon.

John Simm's dog has fleas.

The original soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian was to be unused demos from Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys. John Milius eventually relented to Dino de Laurentiis' wishes to "cutta outta thees surf crap. Ees no good, ees no good."

The character of ex-US President Richard Nixon is based on Johnny Knoxville.

Watership Down is actually an adaptation of the true story of the 103rd Airborne Parachute Regiment, which was sent deep behind enemy lines in the months following the Dunkirk fiasco.

Jack Black has a pet hamster named "Richard Gere".

Angelina Jolie has rectal sprouts.

Due to a legal loophole created during pre-production on Pirates of the Caribean: Dead Man's Chest, any item of underwear (including vests, socks and pants) that Johnny Depp owns becomes the property of Baljit Panjit, 7 Acacia Avenue, Spottiswoode, from the moment Mr. Depp puts the clothes on.

Mr. Panjit has now setup a website to sell Depp's skidmarked undiekeks. Pick up a pair for your loved one this Christmas at www.ivegotjohnnydeppsskidmarkedundiekeks.com

Christina Ricci was supposed to duet with Big Brother 1 winner Craig on his christmas 'hit' At This Time Of Year. Unfortunatly she was trapped in a limosine for 72 hours with an insane monkey and only pork scratchings and mulled wine for sustanence.

Patrick Swayze was last seen trying to sell the colour purple to orphans.

Al Pacino has a signed framed gold disc of The One And Only by Chesney Hawks hanging above his fire place.

When not being a tiny halfling or stuck on a bizzare island, Dominic Monaghan likes to race scorpions in the San Quelos derby.

Tom Hanks has ABBA in his ottoman and makes them play every time he feels a bit down. His favourite song is Knowing Me, Knowing You.

The Magnificent Seven was called the Mediocre Nineteen in its first draft, but they decided to go with quality over quantity.

When March of the Penguins beat The Island at the box office, Michael Bay bought four rifles and took a helicopter holiday in Antarctica. Nobody is sure why.

Michael Biehn didn't have 'it' until he found 'some' down the back of a sofa in his trailer while filming 'The Rock'. This is why his performance is notably better in the second half of the movie.

We all know bags of groceries in the movies invariably have baguettes sticking out of them... this is because French midgets look and weigh the same as groceries when placed in a paper bag and are cheaper than real food... but union laws stipulate you have to give them a snack when filming.

Contrary to popular belief, The Earth and the other planets in the Solar System revolve around Tom Cruise, not around the Sun as was previously thought.
Jupiter's 'Red Spot' is actually the gas giant blushing whilst looking at Tom.

A well guarded secret is the fact that the "albino twins" as seen in "The Matrix: Reloaded" were played by none other than The Pet Shop Boys.

Stevie Wonder was originally set to star as "Daredevil" but pulled out when Ben Affleck threatened to simply "end him."

Uwe Boll has pitched his next movie as the $500,000,000 costing "Alex Kidd".

Michael J. Fox can, in fact, only be killed with a silver bullet.

Word has it that Scarlett Johansson filmed a full frontal nude scene for "Match Point ". The scene was cut from the movie because, when viewed, her breasts and vagina appeared as perfect balls of blinding light.

"Land of the Dead" when translated into Japanese literally means "Go Go Happy Rocket Bear."

Johnny Depp owns every Star Trek film on DVD, and plays them endlessly on a loop in his house where he sits watching them whilst dressed as Captain Kirk.

For Pirates of the Caribbean, he actually based the character of Captain Jack Sparrow on Shatner's legendary portrayal of Kirk.

Mel Gibson is actually two Chinese dwarfs operating a Mel Gibson suit as a disguise. They began the deception in order to enter the USA as illegal immigrants, but soon found movie success and have since been unable to abandon their disguise.
Only Bill Paxton knows the truth.

Lindsay Lohan is the head of a multinational evil organisation. She pretends to be an alcoholic waif in order to deceive the forces of good, AKA Variety magazine.

Each year, before the Oscars, the AMPAS kidnap several Borrowers from their homes in rural England, kill them and paint them gold. This proved a lot cheaper (and less pungent) than the traditional method, in which Charlton Heston shit out gold bricks and each one was modelled into the famous statuette.

Kurt Russell and John Carpenter are father and son.

1. When viewed through 3D glasses and with the lights down, you can clearly see that Cujo is in fact played by a bald Pug wearing a worn out hearth rug.
2. To get into the bat suit, Christian Bale shaved off all of his pubic hair.
3. The Grizzly Man "documentary" story is in fact total fiction. It was made up by Klaus Kinski in an attempt to ruin Werner Herzog.
4. Two of the Ewoks were arrested after they were seen exposing themselves to Carrie Fisher when the film was edited. Oddly, Fisher never made a formal complaint.
5. When shooting Usual Suspects, Singer blew up the wrong boat in the opening scene.
6. Steven Seagal is completely blind.
7. Legal wranglings on Dusk Till Dawn caused Tarantino to re-name his bar the Titty Twister, originaly it was called the Willy Waver. The law suit was brought by Willy Wonker.
