Master storyteller Brian De Palma, known for such classic crime dramas as "The Untouchables," "Scarface" and "Carlito's Way," as well as his suspense thrillers "Carrie," "Dressed to Kill" and "Blow Out," directs this adaptation of James Ellroy's ("L.A. Confidential," "American Tabloid") best-selling crime novel.
"The Black Dahlia" weaves a fictionalized tale of obsession, love, corruption, greed and depravity around the true story of the brutal murder of a fledgling Hollywood starlet that shocked and fascinated the nation in 1947 and remains unsolved today. Two ex-pugilist cops, Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) and Bucky Bleichert (Josh Hartnett), are called to investigate the homicide of ambitious silver-screen B-lister Betty Ann Short (Mia Kirshner) A.K.A. "The Black Dahlia"-an attack so grisly that images of the killing were kept from the public.While Blanchard's growing preoccupation with the sensational murder threatens his marriage to Kay (Scarlett Johansson), his partner Bleichert finds himself attracted to the enigmatic Madeleine Linscott (two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank), the daughter of one of the city's most prominent families-who just happens to have an unsavory connection to the murder victim.
True crime meets urban legend when De Palma brings Ellroy's "The Black Dahlia" to the big screen.

Keira Knightley can't seem to win with the fashion critics. The hat that Keira's boyfriend is wearing in the photo above, and after the jump, is the same one that Keira was wearing the other night (shown below) when she went to one of London's posh restaurants. The British press was none too happy:
Now, we don't mind a bit of individualism when it comes to fashion here at Showbiz HQ. However, we do get a little irked by A-list stars who flout a dress code but get away with it because of who they are. So, who does Keira Knightley think she is, popping out to one of London's posher eateries with a scruffy, woolly hat atop her head?Sure, she made the effort in the dress department with a stylish, strappy, grey number with glam gold belt - but that only highlights the inappropriateness of the beanie hat. Seriously, love, take it off.

Orlando Bloom got mad with girlfriend Kate Bosworth when he saw her drop some litter and a cigarette butt on the ground at a music festival in Japan.
The two-day festival was to raise funds for a green charity, with Orlando set to make a speech when he saw Kate dropping her trash.
A source revealed: "Japan's very clean and everybody carries around disposable ash trays to stub out their cigarettes."
"Orlando had a massive go at her. He said they were meant to be there to promote the environment and she was chucking litter around. There was a lot effing and blinding. Kate kept saying 'nobody saw, I don't know what your problem is'."
The couple then left the festival early to travel to Tokyo where Kate was promoting Superman Returns.
Rumours the couple's relationship was in trouble were sparked after Orlando was apparently spotted "dirty dancing" with 'Romeo and Juliet' actress Claire Danes at a party.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Hayden Christensen will star in "Jumper" for Doug Liman ("The Bourne Identity," "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"). The film's production company, Regency Enterprises, has partnered with 20th Century Fox to finance the production, which sources say is budgeted in the $100 million range.
Hayden Christensen's casting jump-starts the production, which was to have begun shooting earlier this summer but had been running idle. Christensen replaces Tom Sturridge in the lead role of David; during preproduction, a decision was made to go with a more prominent actor.
Samuel L. Jackson and Jamie Bell and Teresa Palmer remain with the project.
Based on the Steven Gould novel, "Jumper" follows a young man from a broken home who discovers that he has the ability to teleport. In his quest for the man he believes is responsible for the death of his mother, the kid draws the attention of the National Security Agency and another youth with the same abilities.
Christensen will play the young man who can teleport. Jackson plays an NSA agent, while Bell is the jumper who shows Christensen the ropes.
David Goyer wrote the original script, which was rewritten by Simon Kinberg. Regency and Fox hope to turn the story into a trilogy.
Christensen has the Edie Sedgwick biopic "Factory Girl" in the can as well as the dramatic thriller "Awake," in which he stars with Terrence Howard and Jessica Alba. His big-screen credits include "Shattered Glass" and "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith."

Lindsay Lohan's mother, Dina Lohan, spoke exclusively to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush about the harsh letter Lindsay received from a studio executive and comes to her defense.
The interview airs on Access Hollywood, Monday, July 31, 2006.
Earlier this week, Lindsay received a letter from the CEO of the production company on her current project, "Georgia Rule," scolding her for her "…irresponsible and unprofessional" actions. In response to the letter, Dina told Bush, "The wording was ridiculous." When asked if she thought the executive, James G. Robinson, was out of line and what brought on the unprecedented blast, Dina said, "I feel when you are 19 (years old) it is way out of line… Maybe he has personal issues with whomever and it came out with my child. I don't know him. I can't judge him. I don't think it was a smart thing to do to a young girl.
"When asked if there was any truth to claims in the letter, Dina came to her daughter's defense saying, "Lindsay was in 105 (degree weather) saying, 'Mommy, I feel sick; like I am going to faint.' She took herself to the hospital. She has asthma and in extreme cold or heat you can't breathe."
Dina added, "…I'm a mother and will do what I need to do to protect my child…I don't feel it should be aired out and everyone should know. It's personal.
"When asked about accusations in the letter that Lindsay's "…ongoing all night heavy partying" was responsible for her not showing up on set, Dina said, "Lindsay gets to work late, OK… She's a human being. There was one day when she was late and they worked the schedule around her. Garry (Marshall, the film's director), Jane (Fonda, her co-star), everybody loves her.
"In regards to Lindsay's status, Dina told Access Hollywood, "As far as Lindsay's health is concerned, she's fine and she is back on set." Dina added to Bush, "She will win an Academy Award for this picture… Justice!"
