Discussion surrounding the blatant pay gap in Hollywood has been intensifying over the last 12 months, and the latest female star to come forward with her own story is Natalie Portman.

Speaking to Marie Claire, the Oscar-winner revealed that she has first-hand experience of the issue, and is struggling to understand her reaction to it at the time.

Referring to a film she starred in alongside Ashton Kutcher, the 35-year-old actress admitted that her male co-star earned a staggering three time more than she did.

"Ashton Kutcher was paid three times as much as me on No Strings Attached. I knew and I went along with it because there's this thing with ‘quotes’ in Hollywood," Natalie told the publication in the candid interview.

Elaborating on the justification given at the time, she continued: "His quote was three times higher than mine so they said he should get three times more."

Regrettably, Natalie did not speak up at the time of negotiation and admits that she wasn't as incensed as she should have been given the blatant gender discrimination at play.

"I wasn't as p*ssed as I should have been. I mean, we get paid a lot, so it's hard to complain, but the disparity is crazy." she reasoned.

Crazy is one word.

It's no secret that 2016 has been an absolute disaster of a year.

From Trump and Brexit to the passing of some of the world's best-known stars, 2016 was the year that just kept on giving… but not in a good way.

Drawing on everyone's mutual distaste for the last 12 months, Friend Dog Studios have created a movie trailer which accurately sums up the year that brought us endless upset.

And if possible, it's actually scarier than the year we've just lived through.

*Watches from behind couch*

Everyone know what the McCallister's mansion looks like in Home Alone, right? And everyone remembers what Monica and Chandler's new home in Friends looked like, yeah?

Well, did you know that when Monica and Chandler decided to up sticks and ditch the big city back in 2004, they actually moved into Kevin's gaf from the classic holiday movie?

No, us neither.

If we cast our mind back to the moment Monica and Chandler went to view their new home in Westchester, we don't recall noticing any connection to the McCallisters, but apparently we just needed to up our game.

According to a YouTube upload from 22 Vision, the production team for the hit sitcom decided to use stock footage from the 1990 movie as their exterior backdrop, and didn't imagine anyone would notice.

And they didn't… until now.

Elf always has been one of our favourite Christmas movies… until now, that is.

After clapping eyes on a sinister version of the film on YouTube, we can't help but look at the 2003 classic in a whole new light.

And we're not the only ones.

The footage, which has racked up over 4,000,000 views since its upload in recent days, has some left members of the public feeling every so slightly creeped out.

"OK, that was terrifying," wrote one while another added: "I'll have nightmares now."

With a little slick editing, Cinefix have managed to manipulate this holiday classic into a film we definitely wouldn't want to watch by ourselves.

Take a look at this, ladies.

Following on from the controversy which stemmed from Bernardo Bertolucci's admission that Last Tango in Paris actress, Maria Schneider, was unaware of his and Marlon Brando's intentions prior to the filming of a rape scene, a television producer has spoken out about the prevalence of these scenes in submitted scripts.

While discussing his selection process for the television version of The Exorcist with Variety Magazine, Jeremy Slater admitted he was stunned by scriptwriters' reliance on rape scenes.

Giving an insight into his work on the adaptation, he said: "One of my hard-and-fast rules when reading spec scripts was, the second that there was a rape that was used for shock value and that didn’t have any sort of narrative purpose, I threw the script aside."

Confirming that the approach was by no means rare, he added: "And I was shocked by the number that had that."

Shining a light on the regularity with which scriptwriters resort to rape scenes without any narrative purpose, Jeremy revealed that approximately 20 per cent of submissions contained at least one.

"I would say out of those 200 scripts, there were probably 30 or 40 of them that opened with a rape or had a pretty savage rape at some point."

Media outlets went into overdrive last week when reports surfaced that Last Tango in Paris director, Bernardo Bertolucci, had confirmed that elements of a scene which played out in the infamous 1972 movie hadn't been consented to by the film's lead actress Maria Schneider.

Referring to a scene which depicted the rape of Maria' character, Bernardo revealed that he and actor Marlon Brando had conspired to conceal their intent to use butter as a sexual lubricant from the young actress.

Explaining that a 19-year-old Maria was unaware of their plans to improvise during the scene, Bernardo said in footage filmed in 2013: "I had been, in a way, horrible to Maria because I didn’t tell her what was going on."

Speaking before her death in 2011, Maria said the scene had a considerable impact on her, explaining: "I felt humiliated and, to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon didn’t console me or apologize."

And with press and public outraged by the director's admission in recent years, Bernardo felt compelled to speak out against the backlash.

Issuing a statement yesterday, he said: "I would like, for the last time, to clear up a ridiculous misunderstanding that continues to generate press reports about Last Tango in Paris around the world."

"Several years ago at the Cinemathèque Francaise someone asked me for details on the famous butter scene. I specified, but perhaps I was not clear, that I decided with Marlon Brando not to inform Maria that we would have used butter," he continued.

"We wanted her spontaneous reaction to that improper use of the butter. That is where the misunderstanding lies. Somebody thought, and thinks, that Maria had not been informed about the violence on her. That is false."

Insisting that Maria was aware of everything else set to play out in the harrowing scene, he added: "Maria knew everything because she had read the script, where it was all described. The only novelty was the idea of the butter."

"And that, as I learned many years later, offended Maria. Not the violence that she is subjected to in the scene, which was written in the screenplay."

Maria's life was tainted by drug addiction and overdoses following her role in the movie.

Earlier this year, the good folk at Disney shared a tiny sneak peek of their upcoming live-action flick Beauty and the Beast.

And while it satisfied us for a time, the closer we get to the film's release date in March next year, the more we need to see of Belle and her unlikely suitor.

Thankfully, Disney have done us a solid by releasing the first full trailer for Emma Watson's next big project, and it's even better than the teaser they shared in May.

Hitting YouTube today, the video has racked up a tens of thousands of views already, and by the sounds of things the viewing public are more than ready to see it in its entirety.

"Damn… this looks really really good. Emma was the perfect casting choice," wrote one while another added: "WELLING UP! AWESOME!"

Ladies, if this doesn't give you goosebumps, we don't know what will.

It’s been five years since the last Harry Potter movie hit cinemas, yet somehow the mere mention of the boy wizard still makes fans hyperventilate.

So when that enthusiasm was coupled with the Internet’s love for quirky sci-fi drama Stranger Things, the result was bound to be the best form of viral magic.

A new video has appeared online which imagines a world in which Mike, Dustin and Lucas join forces with Harry, Ron and Hermione, while Eleven and her stash of Eggos face the legendary Professor Snape.

There came a time in most of our childhoods when we decided we were far too schlick to dress in a bin liner and roam our estate for hours on end.

But without a fake ID to hand, it wasn't like we were going to join the more mature revellers down the local, so much of our teenage Halloweens were spent scaring the bejaysus out of ourselves with classic teen slasher movies.

Let's face it, if ever there was a time of the year when we were likely to get our hands on an 18-rating, it was All Hallow's Eve.

And frankly, the idea of recreating a night hiding behind the couch is really appealing to us right now, so we scoured Netflix for some classics and were not disappointed.

At the height of their fame in the mid 1990s, Oasis were asked to contribute a track to an upcoming British movie, and due to a little miscommunication Noel Gallagher ultimately declined.

So basically, as the Britpop era gained momentum and Oasis were widely considered one of the best bands in the world, Danny Boyle approached the lads from Manchester and suggested they write a song for Trainspotting, but unfortunately for Danny, Noel wasn't having it.

And that, ladies, is because Noel failed to ask what the film was about, and assumed from the title it was about actual train spotters – a relatively twee pastime which he clearly felt wouldn't properly represent the Oasis brand.

"Danny is from near Manchester and he was very keen to have Noel Gallagher do something but there was a reason why he didn't do it," producer Andrew Macdonald recently recalled. 

"He came to the launch party in Cannes, but I don't know why he didn't do a piece of music," he added, according to the Independent.

Filling in the blanks for the film's producer, costume designer, Rachel Fleming, explained that Noel had recently admitted his mistake.

"I met Noel at a thing the other week and he said to me: 'I would have done something, but honestly I thought it was about train spotters. I didn't know.' That's what he actually said."

Ah, Noel. Imagine Blur, Pulp and Iggy Pop made the same mistake?!

She might be best known for her teenage roles in A Cinderella Story and Lizzie McGuire, but Hilary Duff actually landed her first major movie role way back in 1998.

The actress took to Instagram last night to share a nostalgia inducing throwback of herself dressed as Wendy from Casper Meets Wendy alongside a pic of Wendy in her grown up form.

The 29-year-old mother of one captioned the post: “Well just in time for Halloween @snapchat gave me this little treat of a filter #caspermeetswendy #wendythegoodwitch #20yearsago?! #ahhhhhhh.”

Fans are loving the 90s feels with social media users coming out in droves to comment on the share.

One fan wrote: “I didn’t know I wanted this until right now”.  While another said: “20 years ago???!!! That’s still one of my favourite movies!  I use to want to be just like Wendy (sic).”

Almost two decades on, Hilary is the spit of her childhood self!
