Ryan Reynolds was devastated he couldn't have a "hot romance" with Julia Roberts because she played his onscreen mother.

The Canadian actor - who is dating 'Match Point' star Scarlett Johansson - was hoping to get his hands on the 40-year-old redheaded actress in some raunchy love scenes for new movie 'Fireflies in the Garden', but had to settle for the "old Julia Roberts".

Natalie Portman will never get married. The 'Star Wars' actress - who has been romantically linked to 'Scrubs' star Zach Braff, Moby and Gael Garcia Bernal - insists she doesn't need a piece of paper to prove her commitment.

The happily single star said: "I'm into monogamy. But I'm not really into marriage. I sort of hate the legal aspect of it. What does the state have to do with it?"

Scarlett Johansson is a self-confessed "harlot."

The 'Match Point' star, who is starring alongside Natalie Portman in upcoming period drama 'The Other Boleyn Girl', says the pair work well together because they complete opposites.

Ryan Reynolds was branded an "idiot" by Abigail Breslin. The actor, who stars alongside Abigail in new movie 'Definitely, Maybe', wanted to bond with the 11-year-old actress so he took her to a museum and toy shop - but soon regretted his kind gesture.

Ryan told Britain's Radio One: "I took Abigail out for the day to see if we got on or not. She wanted to go to the museum of Natural History in New York and look at the turtles. I felt like I was 12 when I walked in and 30 when I left. We were there forever."
