Russell Brand has been "dressing as a pirate every day" to get into character for the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" film.

The British comic star - who has previously starred in movies including "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and the upcoming "Bedtime Stories" - is doing everything he can to secure the part of Johnny Depp's on-screen brother in the fourth film in the franchise.

Orlando Bloom is engaged. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor is blissfully happy with Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr, and the pair are reportedly making plans to tie the knot.

A source told America's Star magazine: "They are talking about settling down and getting married in a year. They have had a bit of a crazy year, but they do love each other and she wants to be his wife."

Jennifer Aniston wishes men were more like dogs. The unlucky-in-love actress - who recently split from singer John Mayer because he reportedly didn't want to settle down -would love the men in her life to give her the same attention as her pet dog Norman.

She told SkyMag magazine: "It wouldn't be bad if, when a man comes home, he'd run to his woman with his tail wagging."

Keira Knightley is set for an on-screen reunion with Orlando Bloom.

The pair - who starred together in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' trilogy alongside Johnny Depp - are to appear in 'The Fever Returns', a new film based on cult disco movie 'Saturday Night Fever'.

Natalie Portman plays a Bollywood princess in her boyfriend Devendra Banhart's new music video.

The 'V for Vendetta' actress - who has been dating the Venezuelan folk singer since April - wears full Indian costume, complete with a bindi, and must be saved from peril by Devendra's "rebellious beard" in the promo for 'Carmensita.'

Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr and her "Pirates of the Caribbean" star boyfriend Orlando Bloom are still together despite reports of a breakup, her family says.

In Touch magazine had reported that an insider claimed the couple's relationship is over and Kerr "has rebounded into the arms of her former flame, oil heir Brandon Davis." The magazine also said the Kerr and Davis were "full on making out" and "didn't seem to care who saw."
