Actress Jessica Chastain has landed a role that could bring her world-wide recognition or scorn.

The Help actress has been cast as Princess Diana in the film Caught In Flight, about the late Diana’s romance with Dr. Hasnat Khan, the man she called Mr. Wonderful.

The story will cover Diana meeting Dr. Khan in 1995 at Royal Brompton Hospital when a friend was recovering from heart surgery and show the couple’s quiet affair to her death from the paparazzi car chase in a Parisian tunnel.

The film may not show Diana in a completely positive light, according to IndieWire where they report people who’ve read the script say “she is shown as a damaged person who stalks the doctor after he ends the affair.”

Filming may begin as early as March 2012 and will include locations in Pakistan, Angola, the South of France and Paris.

The California-born Chastain will be directed by Oliver Herschbiegel (Downfall, The Invasion) and the screenplay is from writer Steven Jeffreys (The Libertine.)

Jessica was most recently in two very high profile movies: The Help with Emma Stone and Viola Davis and she was Brad Pitt‘s wife in Terence Malick‘s Tree of Life. She also played a younger Helen Mirren in The Debt.

It’s a record breaker and a wallet buster – Visionaire magazine’s LARGER THAN LIFE issue is truly massive – and the appropriate Lady Gaga appears on the cover.

The publication will have two editions, the over-the-top version will ring in at 5 feet by 7 feet and cost a whopping $1500. The standard print edition will come in at a much smaller (but still bigger than your average newsstand magazines) 36 inches by 49 inches and only set you back a mere $375.

For the art magazine’s Guinness Book of World Records (yes, it wins one for size, not price!) photography, Gaga is drenched in oil with a mermaid tail and red, white and blue hair. She was snapped by famed photogs Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

Of the slick and oozing substance she’s covered in, Gaga says “There is no oil too thick as to destroy the imagination.”

Murray was accused by the prosecution of administering a fatal dose of the surgical drug propofol and that contributed significantly to his death.

Dr. Murray was handcuffed and will be sentenced on November 29th and could face up to 4 years in prison and the loss of his medical license.

“This is a crime where the end result was the death of a human being,” said Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor. “That factor demonstrates rather dramatically that the public should be protected.”

Hayden Panettiere was among the celebrities in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Sunday for the MTV EMAs 2011 at the city’s Odyssey Arena.

The 22 year-old chose a black and white print, cap-sleeve dress from Tibi with all black peep toe heels.

Panettiere was a presenter at the awards show and while she was preparing to hand out the trophy for Best Song, the actress was surprised on stage by a male streaker, Dominic Monahan.

“Two friends of mine work for the security company, they got me in but they didn’t know I was going to storm the stage’” Monahan says of the prank, which he claims was not rehearsed.

“I undressed in a backstage store room and considering Lady Gaga is walking about with a flying saucer on her head, not many people notice a guy with a black blanket wrapped around him.”

Panettiere went on to finish her presentation and gave the trophy to Lady Gaga for “Born This Way.”

More photos of Hayden are under and the video of her and Monahan on stage are below. (Read the article)
