'Skyfall': Dive in with Daniel Craig for Bond's Underwater Action Scene

Acting is hard. Acting while performing an enormous action sequence is... really hard. Acting while performing an enormous action scene that takes place completely underwater? Well, thank the powers that be that the James Bond franchise has Daniel Craig as its leading man.
In the latest video for Skyfall, 007's 24th adventure that suits up for theaters November 9, the behind-the-scenes crew takes a peek at one of the film's many action sequences. The set piece takes the close combat underwater, and to pull of the stunt, Craig and the massive crew of photographers and stunt men submerged their production in a state of the art, 1.2 million liter (317,006 gallon) pool. The massive tank is housed at Pinewood Studios, a complex utilized so often by Bond movies, it even has its own 007 Stage.

But now Drew Barrymore is trying out a new role: that of real-life mother. Barrymore, 37, and her husband Will Kopelman, 34, welcomed a bouncing baby girl on September 26, People reports.
The couple told People, ""We are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Olive Barrymore Kopelman, born Sept. 26th, healthy, happy and welcomed by the whole family. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this most special time in our lives."

Jennifer Aniston poses in towel to promote new scent

After launching her perfume, Jennifer Aniston is leaving no stones unturned to publicise it - recently the actress struck a seductive pose in a towel in an ad to promote Lolavie.

The new ad shows the 41-year-old star wrapped in a towel, sitting on a rock, with a seductive expression, reports dailymail.co.uk.

The former Friends star had been working on the fragrance for the past more than a year and describes it as a "non-perfume perfume", adding that it won't be a strong, overpowering scent.

"The first perfumes I ever wore were Miss Dior and Anais Anais. My mother wore Caleche and my grandmother used a body splash that came in a big yellow jug that she kept by the bathtub. Those were very strong scents. Now I am not a big perfume-y-fragrance fan," she said.

Asked what she wants from the fragrance, she said: "I want people to go 'What is that? You smell great!' But most of all I want it to smell natural."
