Writer and comedy actress Jennifer Saunders has revealed that she has won her private battle with breast cancer.

Trailblazing actress Whoopi Goldberg is to join the cast of West End musical Sister Act, eighteen years after starring in the original film.

Picture a day on the set of a big-budget Hollywood film. The scene comprises pimped-out trailers peopled with an entourage of lovies. You have make-up artists and busybodies loading dressing tables with edible gold leaf (low cal, obv) and Peruvian mineral water chilled at exactly 1.5 degrees, not to mention L.A.’s most sought after spray-tanner contouring in washboard abs on some screen starlet’s 14” waist.

Here at BFF, independent cinemas are what we’re all about. Who wants to pay £15 to visit a bland and mass-produced multiplex when you can search out an exciting and unique one-off venue? Not us, that’s who! So with that in mind, here’s the first in a series of features on our favourite independent cinemas. This week, it’s the jewel of the Notting Hill film scene: the lordly Coronet.

A dirty Aussie come to reap sweet British oats, I’m usually the one getting mocked for my criminal’s accent and penchant for lager.

Jon Cooper writes on entertainment, TV, film and video games on various sites across the web. He is the self-styled Superfly Supergeek, with an addiction to any mode of entertainment that involves zombies getting shotgunned.

Max Feldman, being inexperienced in such matters, finds it disconcerting to write about himself in the third person. He has a BA in Philosophy, Religion, and Ethics from Heythrop College (University of London), and is currently studying for an MA in Cultural and Critical Theory at Birkbeck College (University of London). It is unclear whether his education legitimates his having opinions, let alone his having the temerity to write them down.

Don’t get too excited, it’s pretty much the same as the one you’ve already seen. We have to say that we were less than blown away by the sneak-peek at Seth Rogan’s latest flick. It’s a comedy caper take on the classic Green Hornet story, starring Rogan alongside Taiwanese musician Jay Chou as Kato.

Oh dear, Lindsay. Less than a week after getting into trouble for running up a massive shopping bill and casually forgetting she had to pay it, Lindsay has landed herself in prison. For thievery? Nope. For not attending alcohol education classes. There’s only so far the law can bend for the celeb-type, it seems.

Thanks to the tag-line “Ein Zwei Die!”, it was love at first sight for me and Dead Snow, a Norwegian zombie film in which a group of fine young things find themselves conveniently isolated from rescue in a snug, wooden ski cabin.
