Gina Rodriguez grants teen's prom wish with Golden Globes dress
Gina Rodriguez recently helped a teenage girl's prom wish come true when she lent her a very special gown.

The Jane The Virgin star reached out to a fan earlier this year who tweeted that she'd love to wear one of the actress' Golden Globes gowns.

A brief public Twitter exchange from January showed the beginning of Rodriguez's act of kindness.

"Where do you live? I only own my first globes dress the one from last year...maybe we can make this happen," the television star said in response to teen Jessica Casanova.

Come prom season, Casanova showed off her figure in the hip-hugging black gown in which her new friend Rodriguez won a Golden Globe. As a thank you, Casanova painted an artful portrait of the actress.

"Do you have any room in your house for this?" the teen asked on Twitter. "This is my thank you for everything."

Jeremy Irons on 'Batman v Superman': 'It was very muddled'
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star Jeremy Irons has shared his opinion about the superhero epic calling it "muddled."

Irons who portrayed Batman's trusty butler Alfred Pennyworth in the film was able to take in over $800 million worldwide despite negative reviews from critics, something the actor says the picture "deserved."

"I mean it took $800 million, so the kicking didn't matter but it was sort of overstuffed," Irons said recently in an interview with the Daily Mail's Event Magazine.

"It was very muddled. I think the next one will be simpler. The script is certainly a lot smaller, it's more linear," he continued referencing Warner Bros. next entry in their DC Comics cinematic universe, Justice League: Part One.

Irons is also expected to portray Alfred in star Ben Affleck's upcoming solo Batman outing which he will also direct. "I'm tied into the Batman at the minute, which is nice because it's a bit of income," Irons joked. "Not that I need a bit of income but it's nice to keep ticking over."

Justice League, set to be directed by Dawn of Justice helmer Zack Snyder, will feature Batman (Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and possibly other heroes, teaming up for the first time when it hits theaters November 10, 2017.

The ensemble film has also added Willem Dafoe in an unspecified role, J.K. Simmons as Batman's trusted ally Commissioner Gordon, and Amber Heard as Aquaman's love interest, undersea queen Mera.

Jesse Eisenberg, who was seen as the villainous Lex Luthor, thinks he may reappear as the character in Justice League as well. "I don't know. I am in wait, they just started filming Justice League so I'm kind of waiting for my crack at it," he said recently.

Which actress considers marriage her 'biggest accomplishment'?

Actress and producer Salma Hayek considers marriage to Francois-Henri Pinault her greatest accomplishment.

The 49-year-old Mexican-American star revealed as much in the July issue of Red magazine while discussing her relationship with the 54-year-old French businessman.

"A good marriage, full of love, is my biggest accomplishment," she said. "Home is where my husband is. He is home. Everything outside of the family nucleus is an adventure that you're living together."

Hayek and Pinault married in 2007 and welcomed their daughter, Valentina, in 2009. The actress, who recently played a childless queen in Tale of Tales, is stepmother to Pinault's three other children, Francois, Mathilde and Augustin.

"I've had that yearning, that longing, and that pain," she said of her character's desire to have a child. "I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to. My body, as a miracle, had one."

"I try to be with Valentina as much as possible, even when I'm working," the star added. "It takes a lot of work and mummies are very tired because most of us work and life is exhausting, especially if you are an older mom like me, but you have to make the effort."

Hayek said she and Pinault keep their romance alive by continuing to "laugh," "explore" and "have fun." The actress previously credited her husband with keeping her "hot" prior to accepting the Decade of Hotness award at the 2015 Spike Guys' Choice Awards.

"I have the hots for my husband, and that keeps you [hot]," she explained at the time. "When you like somebody it comes out of you, almost naturally, and you're motivated. Love motivates you."

Hayek, who was nominated for Best Actress at the 2003 Academy Awards for Frida, is also known for executive producing and appearing on ABC series Ugly Betty. She will next voice a character in the animated movie Sausage Party.
