Antonio Banderas

While the Cannes Film Festival continued this week, brand-new casting deals have us excited for upcoming projects. Amanda Seyfried will play opposite Adam Driver and Josh Hutcherson will produce and star in an upcoming thriller. Find out details of their new roles, plus what's next for Hayden Christensen, Antonio Banderas, and more!

Naomi Watts went for a red gown when she attended the Visual Effects Society Awards in Beverly Hills yesterday. She was there to support her film The Impossible, which took home the best supporting visual effects award. Other big winners from the night included Life of Pi, with four awards including outstanding visual effects in a visual-effects-driven feature motion picture, the VES equivalent of best picture. Naomi wasn't the only star that walked the red carpet — Antonio Banderas and Harrison Ford also brought star-power to the event.

Naomi is currently gearing up for the Oscars, where she is nominated for best actress. Naomi recently shared that she's "looking forward" to the silence that comes after the Academy Awards. She also opened up about her home life, admitting that raising two boys during award season can be difficult, but that doesn't keep her from doing chores. She said, "I do my own laundry, but I sometimes have help. I cook. I definitely don't have a chef."

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles made separate exits out of their NYC hotel this morning. She attended last night's Ripple of Hope Gala in the Big Apple, decked out in a ready-for-the-holidays sequined dress. The benefit, which was organized by the Robert F. Kennedy Center For Justice & Human Rights, was also attended many of her new Kennedy pals. Taylor, who performed on stage later in the night, first said hi to Kerry Kennedy and Robert Kennedy Jr. Robert posed on the carpet alongside his girlfriend, Suburgatory star Cheryl Hines. Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas also attended, as did emcee Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria Thomas, and Homeland's Mandy Patinkin.

Afterward, Taylor's night wasn't over — she met up with One Direction's Harry Styles! Taylor Swift and Harry Styles have grown close, and were even seen exploring NYC's Central Park Zoo together over the weekend. The two hit the town last night, and later returned to her hotel.

Salma Hayek hit the red carpet in Madrid last night on the arm of her husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, for the 2012 Goya Awards, the Spanish equivalent of the Oscars. She was joined by her Puss in Boots costar Antonio Banderas and his wife Melanie Griffith. Salma was in attendance as a presenter and nominee, having earned an accolade for her work in La Chispa de la Vida. Antonio was likewise up for an honor thanks to his role in The Skin I Live In.

Antonio lost to Jose Coronado, but Antonio's film still won in four other categories. The Artist, which also fared well in Spain, added another win to their long list of accolades with the best European film award. The Artist could be a major winner this weekend when the Academy Awards roll into Hollywood on Sunday.

Robert Pattinson took the stage in LA last night for the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards held inside the Conga Room. He paid tribute to his New Moon director Chris Weitz, and later mingled with a crowd that included his Water For Elephants costar Christoph Waltz as well as Jon Hamm and Antonio Banderas. Rob looked back on the second film in the Twilight series during a break from promoting the next movie. Breaking Dawn Part 1 is out on Nov. 18, and talking up that picture has been consuming most of Rob's time in recent weeks. Robert and costar Kristen Stewart started their weekend Friday at a press junket, before moving on to a Twilight Q&A session Saturday, where the real-life couple were extra adorable with their stolen glances between queries.

Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas showed up in San Francisco for a premiere of Puss in Boots last night. The stars hit the red carpet in front of fans after a group of flamenco dancers entertained the audience. We chatted with the duo about their history working together, and Salma shared how much her 4-year-old Valentina loved the animated movie. Salma's daughter has been traveling with her around the country as she and Antonio promote the 3D film. They recently made stops in Chicago, Miami, and Dallas, and Salma and Valentina visited an aquarium during their short time in Florida. Check out our full red carpet interview with Salma and Antonio later today in PopSugar Rush!
