The actress undoubtedly turned heads for all the right reasons as she walked the red carpet at the global premiere of The Prophet in Beirut tonight.
With her dark tresses styled into glamourous waves, the 48-year-old stunned the crowd before posing with her father Sami.
The Mexican beauty, who produced the animated movie, flashed her ample bust in a show-stopping blue dress, featuring a wide and low-cut neckline.
The chic gown came complete with voluminous skirt, glittery embroidery and a subtle floral pattern throughout.

Speaking about her latest project, Salma admitted it has been a labour of love that helped her explore her relationship with her late Lebanese grandfather, who adored Kahlil Gibran's book of which the flick is based.
The Prophet, based on the 1923 novel, follows the story of Almitra, a headstrong girl who forms a friendship with the imprisoned poet Mustafa, voiced by actor Liam Neeson.
The star was seen blowing kisses at fans who lined her route, before posing for photos and speaking to reporters.
Earlier in the day, Salma attended a press conference for the flick alongside director Roger Allers and Lebanese musician and composer Gabriel Yared.

Salma chose an eye-catching dress for the event in striking blue and white, which had bold pansy appliqué along the front.
When asked about The Prophet, Salma told The Guardian's G2 magazine: "It's not a religious book, it's poetic and philosophical.
"It's a book written by an Arabic man. Which unites all religions. That itself I think is important."

Could The Walking Dead Get A Movie? Here's What Andrew Lincoln Says

Could The Walking Dead Get A Movie? Here's What Andrew Lincoln Says image
The Walking Dead is certainly one of the more popular shows currently showing on cable, having built a huge fanbase since its debut on AMC back in 2010. But could that success be transferred to the big screen? If it were up to series star Andrew Lincoln, he would jump at the opportunity in a heartbeat.

Inquirer recently had the chance to sit down with the actor - who plays group leader and former sheriff Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead - and it was during this chat that Lincoln discussed how enthusiastic he would be to see the acclaimed zombie show get a movie to add to the continuity. Discussing the recent deal that Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman made with Universal Pictures, the interviewer pitched the actor on the idea of the series getting a feature, and Lincoln responded,
That would be amazing. It’s something we’ve been talking about and dreamt of because it would be cool to see some snow. We were all going, just not to have to film in Atlanta where it gets to 100 degrees!

Andrew Lincoln has some much bigger thoughts for a movie beyond just a change in climate, however. He sees a lot of story potential in the idea of making a Walking Dead film, and feels that the medium could be used to explore elements that can't necessarily play in the show. It would also possibly present the chance to bring back some actors who saw their tenure on the series come to a grisly end. Said the actor,
What would be amazing is that you can play with form, time and chronology and maybe also rediscover characters who are no longer in the show. Certainly, with that format, you can do something very interesting and ambitious.

Naturally, this isn't the first time that the idea of a Walking Dead film has been proposed. Back in 2012 there were some rumors about rumblings on the television show's set that suggested that a feature could possibly be in the future plans, but it's been three years and there doesn't seem to be much forward progress with that idea. Of course, it's never too late.

While it may still be some time before The Walking Dead actually gets a movie, it's worth noting that the series is definitely extending its brand. In March it was officially confirmed that AMC is moving forward with a spin-off show called Fear The Walking Dead, which is scheduled to debut on the cable channel this summer. And who knows - maybe a movie event can be set up in the future that will see the cast of The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead meet up to go on a very special zombie killing mission.

Rush Hour And Face Off Come Together In Ridiculous Spoof Starring P. Diddy

Have you ever imagined a mishmash of Rush Hour and Face/Off that is held together by the cinematic glue that is P. Diddy? I’m going to guess no. But that hasn’t stopped the good people over at Funny Or Die from creating a film that combines that devilish trifecta. And it makes for one of the most confusing fake trailers of all time.



The filmmakers behind this Funny Or Die video do an good job with this, and it’s enjoyable that it can be seen as riffing on the recent rumors that the Jump Streetand Men In Black franchises could be merging. Rush Hour 4/Face/Off 2 has a good number of one-liners and sight gags in there – especially the confusion over exactly why their faces need to be taken off and the doctors watching Face/Off before surgery - which make it worth your while. It is slightly unfortunate that it descends into slew of stereotypical racial jokes though, but I guess that’s just the Rush Hourfranchise.. Meanwhile there’s also no denying the fact that it’s also really, really odd. And you really can’t help but be a little bit flabbergasted by what you’ve seen by its conclusion. Still there are worse ways to spend three minutes of your day. 

For the uninitiated, 1998’s Rush Hour starred Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan as Detective James Carter and Detective Inspector Lee respectively, and it blended the marital-arts of Chan’s exploits in Eastern movies with Tucker’s fast-talking gags from his American comedies. Meanwhile, Face/Off is John Woo at his twisted and relentless best, and the film is punctuated with fine performances from its dual leads of John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. Released in 1997, it was instantly met with praise because of its hype-violent but poetically stylized action scenes and its intriguing premise. It’s even since developed into a cult classic because of just how beautifully high concept it is. 

But should the two movies ever be combined into one super franchise blockbuster that stars none of the original actors and simply plays up the themes from the two series? As entertaining as this Funny or Die video is, I think we can agree that it would be a pretty nonsensical idea.

It's rare she gets to spend quality time with loved ones with her hectic schedule, so it's no real surprise that Rihanna is making the most of every minute on holiday in Hawaii.
After serving as bridesmaid in her assistant's wedding last week, the FourFiveSeconds singer was pictured hitting the beach off the coast of Honolulu on Sunday.
Showing off her incredible abs in a white string bikini, Rihanna accessorised her look with a pair of sheer white shorts and a jewelled chain around her stomach.
She also covered her head with a patterned head scarf, teaming the get-up with a pair of vintage white rimmed sunglasses at points throughout the day.

"My eighth studio album was a place for me to completely express myself creatively with no boundaries and try anything I wanted."
It's thought that the new album is going to be called R8, but a release date is yet to be revealed.
