Welcome to idreamofhollywood.com! Here you'll find celebrity gossip, film reviews and all the latest happenings in Hollywood.
The boyfriend of Emmy-award winning actress Christina Applegate has been found dead in his Los Angeles home.



Lee Grivas, a 26-year-old photographer who had been dating the Hollywood star for two years, allegedly had drug and alcohol problems but police are not sure whether this is what caused his death.


"Grivas did have a history of drug abuse, and our investigator found a syringe at the scene," Lieutenant Fred Corral of the LA Department of Coroner told People magazine.
"But we're not making any preliminary conclusions until a toxicology report is completed."

Applegate, 36, released a statement saying that she was "profoundly saddened" by the loss of her partner.

"Lee was an incredible human being who was an extremely important and beautiful part of my life.

"He is missed beyond words. He touched so many and I feel much sadness for his mother, brother and all of his family and friends," Applegate said.

Following the arrest of Hollywood star Anne Hathaway's former boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, speculation is rife that it was the actress herself who dobbed him in to the FBI.



A friend of Follieri commented to the New York Daily News newspaper: "It makes sense. Hathaway is referred to as his 'former' girlfriend in the FBI indictment even though her spokesman never confirmed they broke up.


"I think that, in return for her cooperation, the feds held off on arresting Follieri until Hathaway was out of the country."

Follieri, who will face up to twenty years in prison if found guilty, was arrested and charged for duping investors in a $US6 million real estate scam. The Italian businessman split from the Brokeback Mountain star just four days before his arrest.

Angelina checks into hospital

July 1st 2008 23:41
Angelina Jolie has been admitted to a hospital in the South of France, in anticipation of the birth of her twins.



While rumours were abound that the 33-year-old star would be giving birth at home - which is, at present, a luxurious French mansion - apparently her arrival at the hospital has been imminent for weeks. "There's no urgency," hospital representative Nadine Bauer said. "[Jolie's admittance has] been planned for a long time."

Bauer added, "She's very well. Everything is fine."

The twins will be the fifth and sixth children for Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt, who already have four children: Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2.

Despite its enticing title, I found Sex and Breakfast to be one big anti-climax. The blurb on the back of the DVD proclaims it to be "provocative and thought-provoking" while it is, in fact, a very clinical and remarkably boring look at the consequences of group sex.

Since his death in January this year, rumours that Heath Ledger was a disturbed man have richocheted around the world. The fact is, he was not a tortured soul who lost himself to his psychotic 'Joker' persona - according to his co-stars, he cared far more about his young daughter Matilda than he did about his final role in the upcoming film The Dark Knight.

It may not be in the league of Love Actually or Notting Hill, but as far as romantic comedies go, Definitely, Maybe is an enjoyable film that will appeal to women of all ages - and men might even like it too! Starring Ryan Reynolds as Will Hayes, a man in the throes of a divorce, and Abigail Breslin as his inquisitive young daughter Maya, the story begins with Maya wanting to know about the women in Will's life. As Will launches into the history of this life thus far, we discover that there have been three women of significance in his past: his bubbly college sweetheart Emily (Elizabeth Banks), his shockingly bright close friend April (Isla Fisher), and the enigmatic, career-driven Summer (Rachel Weisz).

It's no Monty Python classic but as far as British comedies go, Death at a Funeral is a rollicking good ride. Featuring a top cast including Matthew MacFadyen and Rupert Graves, I found this film to be both original and laugh-out-loud funny.

One to miss: Premonition (2007)

June 24th 2008 04:31
For a movie that is meant to be a thriller, Premonition leaves its audience less than thrilled - in fact, many would be asking for the last two hours of their lives back. Starring Sandra Bullock and Julian McMahon, this film is a confusing mess from beginning to end, with so many plot holes that it starts to seem a tad silly.
