Emotions got the better of NAOMI WATTS when she first watched a screening of her new film MOTHER & CHILD - because she could see her unborn son ki cking in one special scene.
To cut costs, Watts, who plays a mum-to-be in the film, agreed to show off her real pregnant belly in the Rodrigo Garcia movie - and now she’s t hrilled the magical moment was captured on film.
She tells WENN, "Here I had this growing belly and we needed a few shot s but we actually only used one. It was a no-brainer because prosthetics never look convincing enough and the good ones are really expensive and t his was a tiny budget, so Rodrigo popped on a plane and came with his cin ematographer and he stole that shot.
"Now, when I watch it, I get very emotional because it was that moment between me and my baby and you see a little bit of movement because I dra nk some ice water and shook him (baby) up!" Watts’ second son, Samuel Kai, was born in December, 2008. (KL/RXM&WN/I

Actor STEPHEN LANG is "disgusted" AVATAR missed out on the Best Picture O scar - because he’s convinced the sci-fi epic was the best movie in the c ategory.
James Cameron’s blockbuster was snubbed in favour of his ex-wife Kathry n Bigelow’s war drama The Hurt Locker at last month’s (Mar10) Academy Awa rds.
And Lang, who played Colonel Miles Quaritch in the biggest grossing mov ie of all time, is still fuming over the decision.
He tells British TV show Live From Studio Five, "We were kind of prepar ed for it. I was slightly disgusted, I would say, but I saw every picture that was nominated and they’re all marvellous pictures. If I happen to t hink Avatar is the best of the lot you can forgive me for that.
"I would never want to in any way disrespect another film or director b ut having said that, we should have won." Lang isn’t the only Avatar star to voice his anger over the Oscars resu lts - earlier this month (Apr10), Sigourney Weaver launched a scathing at tack on Academy Awards bosses, insisting Cameron should have won the Best Director prize instead of Bigelow. Avatar won prizes for Best Art Direct ion, Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects at the annual ceremony.

Filming on VINNIE JONES’ new movie BLOOD OUT has reportedly been disrupte d amid allegations fellow British actor TAMER HASSAN headbutted him durin g a brawl.
The two stars clashed at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles on Sa turday night (24Apr10), with Jones allegedly landing a punch on the Clash of the Titans actor.
The two men have reportedly been embroiled in a long-running feud, whic h was sparked by an argument between the pair late last year (09).
And the incident has disrupted filming for new picture Blood Out, which stars both actors - because Jones "doesn’t want to work with Tamer" anym ore, according to Britain’s Daily Mirror.
A source tells the publication. "Vinnie and Tamer have never had an eas y relationship. They bickered over New Year and things have gone downhill since then. Now it’s all-out war. Vinnie doesn’t want to work with Tamer and the feeling is mutual.
"Both men are so integral to the movie, though, so executives are pulli ng their hair out, trying to come up with a solution.
"At present they have rearranged two days of filming, and postponed sho oting the opening scenes where Vinnie and Tamer have lines together. It i s far from ideal. They are also offering to further separate the pair’s o n-set trailers to ensure they are kept at opposite ends of the park." Filming for Blood Out, which also stars Val Kilmer, is due to start on Friday (30Apr10).

The Brokeback Mountain star and his wife Evi were jailed by a judge in Santa Barbara, California on Monday (26Apr10) to make sure they returned for a hearing into their 2009 fraud and burglary case on Wednesday (28Apr 10) after a series of court no-shows.

YES and ASIA founder STEVE HOWE’s daughter-in-law, ZOE STREET HOWE, has u sed her husband DYLAN’s experiences as the son of a rock star as the basi s of a new book about the offspring of musical celebrities.
The former WENN journalist’s new book How’s Your Dad? features intervie ws with Julian Lennon, Ian Dury’s son Baxter, and the kids of Alice Coope r, Joe Strummer and Jack Bruce.
The Who star Pete Townshend also offered insight into what it’s like be ing a famous father.
Street Howe reveals she came up with the concept after attending her dr ummer husband’s gigs as a member of The Blockheads.
She explains, "I realised the prevalence of ‘How’s your dad?’ syndrome, a phenomenon I’d never previously considered.
"Wherever Dylan went, whatever he did, there would be a gaggle of well- meaning Yes fans who’d pounce on him just to say, ‘How’s your dad?’ Not: ‘Great gig!’ Not even: ‘How are you?’ Just: ‘How’s your dad?’ Which is q uite funny really, but also, for me, a bit of a window into a fascinating and complicated area, and that’s where this book goes."

British pop star KATE NASH has learned to pace herself on her latest tour after drink and drugs got the better of her in 2008 - and her sister had to be dispatched to look after her on the road.
The Foundations singer has many bad memories from her last big tour, wh ich almost ended with the then-20 year old suffering a breakdown.
Now, 22, she’s older and wiser and determined not to repeat the past.
She tells Nylon magazine, "It was just exhaustion, I think. I was very tired, and very emotional… and I was drinking too much. When you have a rider full of beer, it’s difficult not to.
"It got to the stage where I couldn’t remember the last time I’d had a day off, I was numb to everything." It was a disturbing moment in Detroit, Michigan that started Nash’s spi ral downwards - and she wishes she’d taken that as a sign and stopped the tour.
She recalls, "(It was) a really poor part of the city, and (I went) for a walk around the block. There were homeless people everywhere, cracked out of their minds and sleeping over air vents to keep warm. It just made me feel desperate, sad and homesick." Nash hit rock bottom in Germany two weeks later: "I was on at three o’c lock in the afternoon, and after that there was nothing to do but drink." The singer fell out with her then-manager and "ran off and did, well, a ll sorts of crazy things". She adds, "My drummer had to come and rescue m e." And when Nash’s mother saw photos of the singer at her worst, and heard stories of her vomiting against her tourbus, she insisted Nash’s sister join her on tour.
She says, "If I can possibly avoid that kind of behaviour this time aro und, I will."

Model-turned-actor NORMAN REEDUS has joined the cast of the HAWAII FIVE-O remake - as a villain who dies in the revamped TV series pilot.
But Reedus insists fans of the show are likely to see a lot more of him than they think they are - because he hopes to be coming back from the d ead.
He tells BlogTalkRadio.com, "I’m a bad guy and I die in the pilot, or d o I? "I probably pop up, like, mid-season again - like, ‘Did he die or did h e not die?’ You don’t see me die; you see me dying, so, in the world of t elevision, it’s like, ‘Did he really die?’" Reedus admits he’s thrilled to be a part of the remake, opposite Alex O ‘Loughlin and Lost star Daniel Dae Kim - because it’ll give him the chanc e to trace his ancestry.
He adds, "We filmed it in Hawaii in that valley where they shot Lost an d Jurassic Park, so there were giant dinosaur footprints around everywher e! It was really cool.
"I had never been to Hawaii, so it was a blast. I didn’t have time to s urf but I want to learn. I brought my girlfriend who’s from Hawaii and to top it off I have a grandfather who’s no longer with us that was married to a girl from Hawaii. He was in the navy and supposedly in one of the m useums on the big island there’s a hand-woven tapestry of my grandfather in his sailor’s outfit covered in tattoos during the wedding ceremony.
"That lady (his wife) died and he jumped a boat, changed his last name.
… moved to Sicily and married an Italian lady and (they) had my father."

Writer/producer RICHARD O’SULLIVAN has offered LINDSAY LOHAN a career lif eline just days after the actress was dumped from her latest film project - he wants her to play a character loosely based on herself.
The screenwriter penned One Night With You with Lohan partly in mind an d now believes the comedy could be her comeback film - if she’ll agree to have a little fun at her own expense.
The script revolves around a former child star, whose reputation is rui ned by a series of public scandals. She books a gig on a reality dating s how to keep her career afloat and hopefully clean up her image.
A source close to the film says, "Basically the character is Lindsay Lo han. Wouldn’t it be funny if Lindsay herself was cast? The thinking being , ‘Hey, look what The Wrestler did for Mickey Rourke’." O’Sullivan tells WENN, "It is ready-made for Lindsay. If it happens, it could be her Mickey Rourke comeback. But we’re proceeding with extreme c aution while the Lohan family sorts through their issues during a very tr ying time.
"We want to put an official offer on the table but we want to make sure that the timing is right and that we don’t add to any of Lindsay’s curre nt stress. That said though, we’re pulling for Lindsay, and we’re pulling for that whole family. They’ve been demonized from all sides, but let’s get real. Families get crazy with each other. They love each other, they hate each other. The only difference is that the Lohans have to do it wit h cameras watching them.
"We believe in Lindsay’s talent and hope to put an offer on the table a nd work with her when she’s ready." Lindsay and her estranged father Michael are currently embroiled in a w ar of words after he organised a police-led raid on her Hollywood apartme nt last week (ends23Apr10) and then appeared on TV insisting the actress was a bad role model for her teenage sister Ali, who lives with her.
Claiming his eldest daughter is hooked on prescription drugs, Michael L ohan is seeking a court order to force the actress into rehab and a conse rvatorship ruling that will give him control of the troubled star’s finan ces.
Lohan’s film career took another hit last week (ends23Apr10) when she w as dropped from new movie The Other Side.
Writer/director David Michaels confirmed the Mean Girls star won’t be m oving forward with the project, explaining, "Our team simply chose to mov e on from Lindsay and we’ll soon be announcing a replacement."
