Shia LaBeouf

Film,TV,celebrity news Shia LaBeouf

After beginning life as an irritating scamp in the kid\'s TV show Even Stevens, Shia LaBeouf has ‘transformed\' himself into one of the hottest stars in Hollywood. Moving from saving his neighbours in Disturbia, to saving the world in Transformers, we will certainly be looking forward to whatever archaeological artefact he and Harrison Ford rustle up in the new Indiana Jones movie.

Megan Fox

We\'ll be seeing her in the much anticipated sequel, and also when she teams up with our favourite comic anti-hero Simon Pegg for a bit of high profile celebrity gossiping in How To Lose Friends And Alienate People.

Charlie Cox

Film,celebrity news Charlie Cox Brightening up our screens in Stardust this autumn is Charlie Cox, who gets to make his big screen debut rubbing noses with Robert de Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer, along with some of the cream of British comedy talent at the moment. Lucky boy!

Jim Sturgess

Film,TV,celebrity news Jim Sturgess Finally splashing on to the big screen in Across The Universe - the psychedelic ’60s musical based on the Beatles\' music - we can look forward to a good 2008 from Jim with roles in The Other Boleyn Girl, also starring Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, and 21, a Vegas-based drama co-starring Kevin Spacey

Jamie Bell

Film,TV,celebrity news Jamie Bell

It looks like Jamie has finally hung up his Billy Elliott dancing shoes and is making an impact in Hollywood. He\'ll be teleporting around the world with Hayden Christensen and Mr Cool, Samuel L Jackson, in Jumper and running from Nazis with Daniel \'James Bond\' Craig in Defiance.

Seth Rogen

Film,TV,celebrity news Seth Rogen If you like your comedy to feature the likes of Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell or Luke Wilson, then you\'d best keep your eyes open for Seth Rogen who is going to be the next to head up this wacky list. You\'ve probably already seen him in You, Me And Dupree and 40-Year-Old Virgin, but if you catch Knocked Up then you\'ll know that 2008 is going to be funny.

Milo Ventimiglia

TV,celebrity news Milo Ventimiglia Since Heroes came to our screens we haven\'t been able to take our eyes off Milo Ventimiglia who plays Peter Petrelli, the boy with bird-like skills. We wish would fly down and take us away to some super hero den somewhere. It looks like Heroes is giving us lots of new stars for the future, such as…

Hayden Panettiere

Lindsay Lohan,Hayden Panettiere,TV,celebrity news Hayden Panettiere

...who is another one of our favourite Heroes. Her career looks set to be as indestructible as her character, Claire Bennet, with some high profile films and a second series in the pipeline. Rumour has it that she could be the next Lindsay Lohan with some reports of partying ‘excess\' but let\'s hope she won\'t follow LiLo down the Hollywood rehab route (or the no-knickers route for that matter).

Dakota Blue Richards

Plus she\'ll have picked up some good mates along the way with the likes of Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman showing her the ropes. Not bad for a 13-year-old!

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson,Film Jennifer Hudson

Like her fellow losers on reality TV who made it big (Lemar from Fame Academy and, er Jade Goody, for example), Jennifer Hudson has shown that you don\'t have to fit into the ‘Idol\' mould to make it. After winning loads of awards for her role supporting Beyonce in Dreamgirls, it looks like Jennifer is on the verge of making it big in Hollywood.
