Peter Facinelli showed that he has a sense of humour after being named the "worst vampire" of all time.

The actor, who plays Dr Carlisle Cullen in The Twilight Saga, topped the Worst Vampires On Film And TV list in Rolling Stone magazine, while Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula was deemed Best Vampire.

"YES! I finally came in number one in something!" he tweeted.
Critic Peter Travers, who compiled the list, wrote that "Facinelli is a solid actor, but playing Carlisle Cullen, the white-haired head of the fang-challenged Cullen vampire family, he looks about as terrifying as Project Runway winner Austin Scarlett, whom Carlisle closely resembles."

Milla Jovovich says audiences will "flip out" when they see her new film, Resident Evil: Afterlife.

The Ukrainian-born model and actress reprises her role as superhuman security officer Alice in the fourth instalment of the action-horror movie.

"I'm blown away by the things that I've seen so far that we've done - I mean, we're flipping out doing it, so I would imagine people will flip out seeing it," she told Entertainment Tonight.

"It's in 3D, which is making this movie just come to life in a way that none of the other films can even pretend to, because it's sucking the audience in," she said.

A whole new meaning to the 'don't cross the streams' line!

Doctor Who star Karen Gillan said today she wanted to be in an episode of The Simpsons.

The 22-year-old, who plays Amy Pond in the Doctor Who series, said the chance of being part of the cartoon series programme would be "really cool".

The star was speaking as she signed boxes containing a five-inch version of her character along with posters for more than 200 fans at toy store Hamleys in Glasgow's St Enoch Centre.

Asked whether she had been approached about being in The Simpsons, she said: "I haven't. Maybe someone has. I don't know anything about it.

"That would be really cool. That's almost on a par with being a doll because being a Simpsons character, all yellow and stuff, would be really cool."

Gillan also said she wanted to see ginger wigs in shops as part of Doctor Who merchandise for her character Amy Pond.

Doctor Who star Karen Gillan said today she did not know whether she would be part of a third series of the show with co-star Matt Smith.

The 22-year-old, who plays Amy Pond in the Doctor Who series, said she was "excited" about filming the second series with the 11th incarnation of the Timelord.

The star was speaking as she signed boxes containing a five-inch version of her character along with posters for more than 200 fans at toy store Hamleys in Glasgow's St Enoch Centre.

When asked if a third series was ahead of her, she said: "Who knows? I'm just taking it series by series and I'm just having fun.

"So, I don't know. I have no idea."

Karen remained tight-lipped about the Christmas special and second series, which she is about to start filming.
