This is not the first time that Lucas has expressed his plans to move away from the movie making business. "I'm retiring. I'm moving away from the business, from the company, from all kind of stuff," the Star Wars said back in January.

Spiderman hottie kirsten Dunst claims her depression was caused by the weird dichotomy of being an actress.

Kirsten dunst depression made her checked into the Circue Lodge Treatment Centre, to be treated for the mental health condition in February 2008 and she claims the pressures of her career caused her problems.

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres asked her: "There is no way to bring up without saying what it. You suffered from depression."

To which Kirsten answered: "It's not something I feel like totally comfortable talking about but yeah, it's also interesting as an actress you're supposed to be sensitive and vulnerable and have this side to you. But then your supposed to be super sociable and on and like nice to everybody. That's a weird dichotomy. It's a lot to ask of a person. It's not a normal thing."

Dunst believe it was the right thing got her to do have treatment and take a break from Hollywood, because she was able to return to her career reinvigorated.

Dunst added: "I definitely took a little bit of a break. And also, when you're in your 20s you need to figure things out and take a step back. I had been acting so long, all my life. I think I just needed a little bit of some perspective. It was good for me and it re-inspired what I do, too"

Dunst however avoids the Hollywood party circuit and only attends the premiers of her own movies.

She said: "I avoid the red carpet as much as possible. You have to do it to promote your movies obviously but you won't see me at an event just for the sake of it."

Almost one year ago today, the first photograph of actress Michelle Williams made up to look like Marilyn Monroe was released to the public.

Williams appeared to be completely transformed in the Hollywood icon, with her platinum curls, fuller face, and signature beauty mark.

But it is one thing to look like a legend, and it's another to portray her on screen.

And now we can see and hear Williams as Monroe in My Week With Marilyn, based on the true story of Colin Clark, who got to know the star when she work on a film in England in 1956.

The film presents Williams with a two distinct acting challenges: to copy Monroe's bubbly, flirty public persona that movie fans know, and to shed light on the hidden, emotional side the star kept from the public.

To get to the core of the character, Williams immersed herself in all things Marilyn. She spent six months consuming every movie, book, recording, photograph, and personal letter she could find.

She said, "I'd go to bed every night with a stack of books next to me. And I'd fall asleep to movies of her,"

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt has prepared engagement rings for her boyfriend to use when he proposes. She thinks that it would be helpful for director Alex Beh, who she has been dating for six months, to know what jewelery she likes because she is worried she will upset him if he chooses something she doesn't like.

She admitted to TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres as reported at MSN website: "I actually have 3 engagement rings because I feel like I'm doing the guy a favor. I feel women are very confusing. We know what we want and we're not very good at nailing that down for them. And I feel like I don't want to be upset if he picks a bad ring, so I feel like having three picked out and saying, 'Look!Look at this plethora of things you can choose from!"

The 31 year old actress has previously claimed she feels better when she is in a relationship.
