In Escape From Planet Earth, Rob Corddry (Warm Bodies) plays Gary Supernova, an alien scientist who clashes with Lena Thackleman (Jessica Alba) when his brother Scorch (Brendan Fraser) is apprehended by humans while on a voyage to Earth.

Unexpectedly, Alba and Corddry were paired with one another when doing press for the film, placing two fierce enemies in close proximity with one another. When asked what it took to get them in the same room, the actors explained they were both combative and conciliatory before reconciling their differences.

“We boxed,” Alba tells Celebuzz. “And then we made out.”

Corddry, laughing, adds, “So both things. Two extremes.”

All kidding aside, the actors say that they struggled a little bit when time came to record dialogue for their characters, precisely because they didn’t have the chance to interact with one another.

“I just wanted to have someone to talk to, like play off of,” Alba reveals.

Corddry explains that the filmmakers do give the actors images of their characters, but he’s not confident that helped him fully understand the role. “They do give you a sketch,” he says. “And I sat it there. And I don’t know if it helped me at all.”

But Alba, who never played a villain before taking her role in the film, praised the experience. “It was so fun,” she says. “I thought it was quite liberating to be crazy.”

Although she’s a Golden Globe- and SAG-nominated actress for her role on the popular sitcom Modern Family, Sofia Vergara is probably best known for her voluptuous figure – a fact that the actress knows all too well. At the recent Los Angeles press day for the new animated film Escape From Planet Earth, she told Celebuzz she’s always eager to poke fun at her curvy physique, precisely because she knows how much it has helped her career.

“It’s my reality,” Vergara says. “It has opened so many doors for me, I would be ungrateful to deny that being voluptuous and sexy hasn’t helped me.”

That said, Vergara acknowledges that being a buxom Latina has its drawbacks as well, including having limited options when the time comes to pick out a dress for the Oscars, which she hopes to attend this year.

“I cannot just wear something that is in fashion or just something because it’s beautiful or sexy,” she admits. “I have to wear stuff that looks good for my body, because [if I don’t], then it could be like a horror movie.”

Whether her appearance turns out like “a horror movie” or the height of style remains uncertain, since she’s unsure if she’ll be able to attend at all. “I might have to work in New York, so I might not,” she reveals. “But I would love to go.”

After her previous trip to the Oscars, however, she’s keen to come back. “I had a great time last year at the Vanity Fair party – I sat at a table with Tom Ford, and it was a lot of fun.”

Ladies and gentlemen, alert your ears. For they are about to be bathed in sonic bliss.

In what can only be described as the greatest collaboration since Lennon met McCartney, William Shatner and Taiwanese singing sensation Lin Yu Chun—who’s been wowing the Internet with his rendition of Whitney Houston‘s “I Will Always Love You”—came together through the magic of Lopez Tonight to combine their vocal chops.

The song that served as the pair’s duet? The Bonnie Tyler classic “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” Because, quite honestly, nothing else would do.

In a twist worthy of Star Trek‘s fantastical plot lines, Captain James T. Kirk had a run-in with himself recently.

Chris Pine, who stars as USS Enterprise captain James Tiberius Kirk in the new, sexed-up Star Trek movie, finally had a chance to meet legendary actor William Shatner, who played the character in the original series and its subsequent big-screen adaptations.

The date: April 25, 2009. The setting: Some sort of convention that apparently called for cowboy hats and county music. The result: Less than earth-shaking.

After Pine steps up and introduced himself, Shatner, 78, quickly tried to push Pine off on his wife. Big mistake, dude. What woman could resist the overpowering charms of Chris Pine?

Then again, maybe Shatner had to run off and film another one of those bizarre Priceline ads.
