2013-05-21T00:51:03Z

Paris Hilton’s boyfriend River Viiperi was forced to get physical with an overzealous fan in France on Friday after the woman repeatedly grabbed at the socialite in a bid to get close to the reality TV star.
The hotel heiress, who arrived in Cannes last week, had to fight her way through crowds andmembers of the paparazzi as she made her way to a party with her beau, and one female even took hold of the blonde beauty’s arm in an effort to land a photo with her idol.
Her actions prompted Viiperi to push the woman away twice and shout, “Don’t touch her!”, but she appeared unfazed by his outburst and continued to follow the couple.
Video footage of the incident depicts Hilton struggling to keep security guards from stepping on her dress, while she finally loses her cool with the unruly woman and snarls, “Leave us alone”, before heading into the party venue.

Sir Anthony Hopkins Joins Travolta’s Gotti Biopic

2013-05-20T22:37:17Z

Sir Anthony Hopkins has reportedly joined the cast of John Travolta’s much-anticipated new movie about mobster John Gotti.
Gotti: In The Shadow of My Father picked up Travolta as its lead in 2010, while Nick Cassavetes signed on as director and Lindsay Lohan and Joe Pesci were announced as potential co-stars.
Cassavetes and Pesci dropped out amid delays in 2011 and a deal with Lohan didn’t pan out, prompting many Hollywood insiders to believe John Gotti, Jr.’s family drama would never be made.
But Travolta recently insisted he was still on board and now it appears the film is finally coming together – and it has some added star power.
The project’s international distribution is up for sale at the Cannes Film Festival and executives at IM Global have announced that Hopkins has signed up for the film, although his role remains a mystery.
But Travolta is still set to play Gotti and his wife Kelly Preston will portray Gotti’s partner Victoria, while the couple’s daughter, Ella, will play Gotti kid Angel.
It is not clear if Ben Foster, who was attached to play Gotti’s son, is still on board.

A top Chinese movie executive involved in Keanu Reeves’ directorial debut has fallen victim to thieves after his luggage was stolen from a French hotel during the Cannes Film Festival.
Zhang Qiang, vice president of the China Film Group, was forced to pull out of a press conference with The Matrix actor for the film Man of Tai Chi on Thursday after discovering that his suite at the Pierre & Vacances Residence Cannes Beach had been ransacked and his bags taken.
And he was further enraged by the alleged attitude of hotel staff, who reportedly told Qiang he’d have to file a police report by himself, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Venting about the incident on Chinese social networking site Weibo.com, he wrote, “Security in France is so bad, and the (people) are so arrogant”.
The burglary was the latest drama to hit the prestigious annual gala – $1 million-worth of Chopard jewels were stolen from an employee’s hotel room last week, while a man was arrested on Friday after causing a security scare by allegedly firing a gun filled with blanks and brandishing a fake grenade during a waterfront TV interview with Christoph Waltz.
