Stepping out to promote his latest film, Javier Bardem attended the photo call for his new documentary film “Hilos De Las Nubes, La Ultima Colonia” in Madrid, Spain on Wednesday (May 16).

The Spanish actor kept his outfit business casual in sneakers and jeans while dressing it up with a black blazer and white button up as he posed for awaiting photographers.

The film, which can be translated to be titled “Sons of the Clouds,” takes a look at how colonization of the Western Sahara has left nearly 200,000 people living in refugee camps.

In an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 43-year-old actor explained that this film was very personal to him and it is a way to help the Sarhawis adding, “we want to help and we made the documentary because that’s the way we can. You cannot change the world. But we can bring that story to some other people who may not be aware of it. In the end, those stories that are not told are stories that don’t exist in people’s minds.”

Jackie Chan announced on Friday that he’s retiring from action movies.

The stunt expert and international icon revealed the news while promoting what he says will be his final action flick, Chinese Zodiac, at the Cannes Film Festival.

“This is my last action film,” he told members of the press. “I tell you, I’m not young anymore. I’m really, really tired.”

Chan also explained, “The world is too violent right now… I like action, but I don’t like violence.”

But that doesn’t mean he’s leaving behind his acting career.

“I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro,” said Chan, adding, “I don’t just want to be an action star, I want to be a true actor. I want to get rid of my image.”

Chan wrote, produced, directed and choreographed the fight sequences for Chinese Zodiac, which, apparently, will cap an astonishing action career that saw Chan go from a stuntman on Bruce Lee movies to international stardom in his own right.

“American Idol” finalist Phillip Phillips is reportedly in serious need of surgery to treat his kidney condition.

The guitar-playing former pawn shop worker has been urged by his personal doctor to go under the knife immediately, according to TMZ.

The site says that Phillips’ doctor visited him in Georgia last Saturday, and was alarmed by his condition.

However, the aspiring singer reportedly wants to put off the procedure until after he competes against Jessica Sanchez in the “American Idol” finals next week.

A rep for FOX declined to comment on the story.

In March, Phillips was rushed to a medical facility for an emergency treatment during show rehearsals, but still competed in the singing competition that night.

As you can clearly see, he wants this bad.
