Sam Claflin on Pirates of the Caribbean and the Possibility of Chemistry with Kristen Stewart

In this summer's swashbuckling sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, British newcomer Sam Claflin goes toe to toe with Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and a much more fearsome pirate: Blackbeard (Ian McShane), the legendary captain of a zombie ship on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth.

Who's Ready to Pony Up for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Designer Luxury Items?

Now, I will go bananas over some OPI special edition nail polishes; why, with cleverly punny names like "Skull and Glossbones," even Captain Jack Sparrow himself would rock some silver crackle polish on his grubby pirate claws.

A handful of online press got a sneak peek at Paramount's Transformers: Dark of the Moon the other day, complete with face time with Michael Bay himself. Alas, Movieline was not in attendance, so we'll have to take these other folks' word for it and assume Transformers 3 could be the balls-out, insane, eyeball-searing giant robot war movie to end all giant robot war movies!
