Who knew Tom Cruise could shake it like a Polaroid picture?

Last week, he rocked audiences with his cameo as a profane, hip-jiggling, Machiavellian movie chief in ” Tropic Thunder.” The role was designed to show the world — and Hollywood insiders — that the one-time king of Hollywood didn’t take himself too seriously and even had comedic chops.

His performance was funny, but somehow as with all things Cruise these days, a black cloud emerged from the silver lining.

His tour de force was overshadowed by yet another hellish publicity week, which included debates over whether “Tropic Thunder” was degrading to the mentally disabled as well as an inaccurate story that Sony had replaced Cruise in the film “Edwin A. Salt” with “it” girl Angelina Jolie.

(According to several sources close to the project, it was Cruise who refused to commit to a start date, and his actual next film looks to be “The Tourist,” a remake of the French thriller “Anthony Zimmer,” to be directed by Lasse Hallström.)

Scarlett Johansson has reportedly postponed her wedding - because it clashes with the U.S presidential elections.

The actress - who has publicly backed Barack Obama - is due to marry Ryan Reynolds this year.

But Johansson has put the nuptials on hold - because her twin brother, Hunter, is busy working on Obama’s campaign.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, “He is working all the time so Scarlett wants to hold off until the election is over.”

The election is due to take place in November.

Ben Affleck has signed on to flex his comedy muscles in new Mike Judge movie Extract.

The Gone Baby Gone director will play an ambulance-chasing lawyer in the upcoming film, which tells of a flower extract factory owner (Jason Bateman) with horrendous luck, according to Variety.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall actresses Mila Kunis and Kristen Wiig are already signed up for the comedy, which begins shooting on Monday in Los Angeles.

The Miramax production sees Affleck continuing his relationship with the studio, which began with his writing and starring in Good Will Hunting in 1997 and has continued up to his directorial debut, Gone Baby Gone, last year.

Though his work behind the camera on the Dennis Lehane adaptation was critically acclaimed, Affleck has not appeared in a significant onscreen role since 2006’s biopic Hollywoodland.

However, as well as signing up for Extract, he has also completed work on romantic comedy He’s Just Not That Into You and political drama State of Play, a film version of the BBC series.

It was also revealed today that Affleck’s wife, actress Jennifer Garner, is expecting their second daughter.

Verne Troyer is to star in his own reality TV show.

The Austin Powers actor, 39, has already begun shooting the series, and is hoping to attract interest from networks.

Troyer tells Us Weekly, “It’s about being a dwarf in Hollywood.”

The actor will be hoping for a more successful venture into reality TV, after an embarrassing episode on VH1’s The Surreal Life in 2007, when he got drunk and urinated on the floor.

Winona Ryder has found love with Drew Barrymore’s comedian ex-husband Tom Green, according to reports.

The pair was spotted cuddling up at a Hollywood bar last week, and pals insist an odd romance is blossoming - just weeks after Ryder split with rocker boyfriend Blake Sennett.

A source tells the National Enquirer, “Winona didn’t waste any time. She and Tom were all over each other, laughing and carrying on.”

Green was married to Barrymore from 2001 to 2002. Ryder has a long list of exes, including Johnny Depp, Christian Slater, Dave Grohl, Dave Pirner and David Duchovny.
