MUMBAI: Hollywood is buzzing with some interesting happenings. Kit Harington has planned for a makeover after GoT, Paul Rudd has said 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' is bananas, Jamie Bell may be seen in Elton John biopic…the list of Hollywood updates is long. So, read on as TellyChakkar brings some mouth watering gossips from the west.

Kit Harington plans makeover after wrapping up GoT

Actor Kit Harington says he will cut his hair short after wrapping up Game of Thrones.

With filming on the final season of the fantasy series entering its last weeks, Harington has expressed his wish to cut his signature long hair, ew.com reported.

"I'd like to step away and enjoy the obscurity, cut my hair, make myself less recognisable as the character and go do and some other things with a completely new look and tone," Harington said.

Harington has played Jon Snow across eight seasons of the show.

So, how short exactly will he go?

"Short-short. The beard will be harder to get rid of -- I quite like the beard. I like having the long hair and beard both, but it will be like ritualistic thing. I can't go into my next role looking the same. This role was brilliant, but I'll need to get rid of Jon Snow," he said.

Game of Thrones has become a global phenomenon with its whimsical world of dragons and White Walkers on one hand, and a touch of reality with the complexity of emotions, relationships and how they cannot be trusted when it comes to ruling a kingdom.

The show brought worldwide acclaim to actors like Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, Harington, Lena Headey, Maisie Williams, Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Iwan Rheon and Iain Glen.

The final season will premiere next year. It will air in India on Star World.

'Ant-Man and the Wasp' is bananas: Paul Rudd

Actor Paul Rudd has promised his fans that Ant-Man and the Wasp will be funny and surprising.

Rudd will be back as superhero Ant-Man with the film.

"The movie checks a lot of boxes. People can expect to be emotionally invested, with not just Scott's relationship with his daughter, but with his relationship with Hope and Hank as well," Rudd said in a statement to IANS.

"Every character in the film has a connection with one another, and hopefully people will relate to that. The visuals are as always stunning, as is the case with Marvel films. But this movie is bananas. There are action sequences that you have never seen before, and it is really funny in a way that might be surprising," he added.

Directed by Peyton Reed, the movie is set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.

Rudd's Scott Lang/Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly's Hope van Dyne/The Wasp team up after Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) asks them to battle Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), who has the ability to be invisible and intangible. It is slated to release in India on 13 July in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

On working on the film, he said, "It is pretty great. It doesn't matter how many films you do, but sometimes you find yourself on a set in a scene and you think, 'Oh, wow, there's Laurence Fishburne, and there's Michael Douglas, and there's Michelle Pfeiffer'. And they are all talking to each other. And whoa! How did I get here? And it's pretty cool."

Jamie Bell may join Elton John biopic

Actor Jamie Bell is in negotiations to play Bernie Taupin, the famed songwriter who collaborated on 30 albums with the legendary Elton John, in the biopic Rocketman.

Taupin began collaborating on songs with John back in 1967, when both answered an advertisement for talent placed in the New Musical Express by Liberty Records A&R man Ray Williams.

Though both were rejected for that job, John would stumble across Taupin's poetry, leading to one of the greatest music collaborations ever.

The two worked together on hits including Crocodile rock, Honky cat, Tiny dancer, Candle in the wind, Saturday night's alright for fighting, Bennie and the jets, and Rocket man, reports variety.com.

Dexter Fletcher is attached to helm the project. Lee Hall penned the script. Paramount Pictures will finance and distribute the film, in which Taron Egerton will star as John.

North has Kanye's outgoing personality: Kim Kardashian

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West says her daughter North's personality is a lot like her husband and rapper Kanye West.

"She (North) is a Gemini, so she is a little bit of both me and Kanye," Kim told etonline.com.

"She definitely has Kanye's outgoing personality and will say what's on her mind no matter what it is and who it might offend. But then she is sweet like me. So, she's a little bit of both," Kim added.

North celebrated her fifth birthday last week in New York, where she stepped out with long hair.

"It's funny, everybody thought she was wearing extensions and she wasn't. That's her hair. She just has really curly hair. I don't really let her straighten her hair, but it was on her birthday party and on her birthday trip to New York, she wanted straight hair, so that was her thing," said Kim.

"She really is into beauty... She loves hair looks, that's her thing, and she loves a little bit of make-up."

On her birthday, North received two Alexander Wang bags from the designer, and Kim says she already "secretly stole" one of them.

"It's in my closet now, and she actually saw it and she stole it back, so we're already fighting over bags," said Kim.

I hate Donald Trump: Billie Joe Armstrong

Rock band Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has compared US president Donald Trump to "acid gone bad".

Armstrong got political at a small concert at Cannes Lions on Wednesday night, reports variety.com.

He performed a set of a dozen songs at a private party hosted by Live Nation atop a chateau in the south of France. He improvised friendly chatter between songs, telling the story of how he met his wife.

He introduced his son Joey, who twirled the drums onstage. And then Armstrong got to a performance of "American idiot", from Green Day's 2004 album inspired by the Iraq War.

"Back then, if I look at a collage of one of those songs, it's become real life," Armstrong said.

"Without getting too political, it's important we look out for each other and show compassion."

"I f***ing hate Donald Trump so much," he whispered into the microphone.

"I used to scream I hated George Bush. This one is a little different. This one is bad, it's like acid gone bad. F***ing LSD and the American Right, man."

Armstrong's set included a cover of "Rockaway beach" and some hits from Green Day's album "Dookie". He closed with "Time of my life".

Rachel Bilson tells why an 'O.C.' reboot won't work

Actress Rachel Bilson is all game to act in a reboot of the hit TV show O.C., which was a major hit 15 years ago, but she doesn't think it will work.

However, the series in which she co-starred Ben McKenzie, Adam Brody, Mischa Barton, Peter Gallagher and Kelly Rowan, is not going to be remade anytime soon, reports etonline.com.

"I mean, I would do it. I'll tell you about three people that wouldn't do it - five people? Six people? Eight people, let's be honest," said Bilson.

She joked that any reboot would have to be Summer time in the O.C. after her character Summer Roberts.

Bilson said she barely remembers what happened to her yesterday, but on reminiscing her first time on the set of the show, she said, "It was pretty crazy. I guess I didn't really know what to expect. I think we kind of felt like, ‘Oh, this could be a special thing. It was a weird time, but it was a lot of fun.”

"Summer was so long ago that I don't really remember what she's like. She was a lot younger, but I think you always bring a part of yourself to a character, so I think there’s a definite element of that for sure."
