Being careful to keep first things first, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted tending to her motherly duties earlier today in London, England.

The “Running With Scissors” stunner looked content as she picked up her son Moses Martin from school, staying warm in a black wool overcoat and black leather boots.

And though she has her hands full with Moses and his sister Apple, Gwyn still makes time to give her acting career some attention from time to time.

Paltrow has two projects in the pipeline - “King Lear” with Keira Knightley, Anthony Hopkins, and Naomi Watts, and “Iron Man 2″ with Robert Downey, Jr.

Continuing on her latest gig, Eva Mendes was spotted hard at work on the New York City set of “Last Night” yesterday (November 7).

Though, the “We Own the Night” babe may have been feeling the pressure of sharing the screen with British babe Keira Knightley, as she was incessantly biting her nails and smiling nervously.

And when it comes to guys, the “Hitch” hottie says she prefers a man who doesn’t need to be the center of attention, which works out well with her boisterous personality.

“I think subtlety works best with me. I like that. I’m obviously not shy myself - I am Cuban so that makes me very loud. But I like it when a guy stands back a little and is a little mysterious and waits for the right moment.”

She’s made quite a name for herself with her diverse film roles, and earlier today Eva Mendes was hard at work on her latest project “Last Night.”

The “We Own the Night” hottie was spotted on the New York City set of the film, in which she stars alongside “Pirates of the Caribbean” babe Keira Knightley.

According to the film’s summary, it sounds like Miss Mendes is in for a steamy role this time around, not that it’s anything new to her.

Eva plays the colleague of a married man who happens to be attracted to her. And as they take a business trip together, they find themselves in the throes of temptation, while his wife (played by Knightley) has a little fun of her own as she encounters a past love.

Continuing along with her filming duties, Kiera Knightley was hard at work on the set of her new movie “Last Night” in New York City on Thursday evening (October 23).

The 25-year-old joined up with co-star Guillaume Canet, with the two running through scenes outdoors and inside a café.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, “Last Night” follows a married couple, apart for a night while the husband takes a business trip with a colleague to whom he’s attracted. While he’s resisting temptation, his wife encounters her past love.

Once she’s wrapped “Last Night,” Keira has plenty of work to keep her busy well into 2009 including “The Beautiful and the Damned” and “King Lear.”

It’s a full-on media blitz this week, as the cast of “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” are gearing up for the big theatrical release this Friday, October 24th.

And this morning Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, and Monique Coleman all stopped by the NBC Studios at Rockefeller Center in New York City for an appearance on the “Today” show.

Frenzied fans from all over crowded into the studio and watched through the windows from outside as the Disney hotties fielded questions about themselves as well as the new film.

On a related note, Mr. Efron has reportedly already figured out his next big career move - he’s signed on to star alongside Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley in the fourth installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean.” And rumor has it he’ll be paid $12 million for the role!

When it came time for stripping down to shoot their love scene in the 18th-century period movie The Duchess, Dominic Cooper said costar Keira Knightley assisted with his choice of codpiece.

“I knew there was a scene in which I had to get naked,” Cooper, 30, told PEOPLE at Wednesday’s special Chanel and Vogue screening of the film in New York for the Cinema Society. “It wasn’t gratuitous, but still quite overwhelming. There were a series of devices I was offered to wear which protect my %26#91;naughty%26#93; bits. And I gave Keira the choice in a very gentlemanly way, ‘You can chose either the furry soft, the pink diaper or the Spandex.”

Why the diaper? “Because she wanted to humiliate me,” insists Cooper. “She laughed and laughed and laughed. That’s what made the scene quite comfortable %26#91;to shoot%26#93;. We realized how ridiculous it was.”

He Said, She Said

That, however, isn’t quite how Knightley, 23, recalls the filming and the specific costume prop.

“I don’t remember choosing,” she tells PEOPLE. “I think he’s making that up. Unless I was feeling particularly malicious, I don’t think I would have chosen to put a man in a skin-colored diaper. I could have been feeling particularly malicious, however, that’s entirely possible.”

As for how Cooper looked in - and out - of the diaper, “He’s a good-looking guy,” said Knightley.

Added Saul Dibb, director of the movie, which also stars Ralph Fiennes: “It’s always the women who are naked. In this one, the men are naked, largely.”

Burning question No. 1 at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, which kicks off Thursday: Will exes Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston cross paths?

They arrive on different days, but in the movie biz, anything is possible. Pitt is due in Canada, sans Angelina Jolie, to hype Burn After Reading, his new Coen Brothers comedy with George Clooney. Aniston, meanwhile, will be talking up Management, a romantic comedy in which she’s wooed by Steve Zahn and Woody Harrelson.

But those are just two of the 249 feature films set to screen and a few of the stars - cue Dakota Fanning, Ricky Gervais and Charlize Theron - set to shine over the 10-day festival, which has come to serve Hollywood as the annual unofficial launch of the Oscar race.

• After scoring big at last year’s festival with Juno, Superbad’s Michael Cera returns with Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. He plays a music-obsessed youth who finds love when he least expects it during a visit to New York City. The movie opens Oct. 3.

• In Rachel Getting Married, Anne Hathaway stars as a woman who, following a stint in rehab, returns to her idyllic Connecticut hometown for the wedding of her older sister Rachel. Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs) directed the comedic family drama, which opens in limited markets Oct. 3.

• Keira Knightley again dons sumptuous period petticoats and gowns for her title role in The Duchess, a biopic about Georgiana Spencer, a scandalous 18th century English aristocrat. Her costars include Ralph Fiennes and Charlotte Rampling. It opens Sept. 19.

• Irishman Colin Farrell works on his New Yawk accent in Pride and Glory, a crime drama in which he and Edward Norton star as brothers who are NYPD cops. Family bonds are tested as they uncover something rotten in the Big Apple. The film, which was scheduled to open earlier this year, is now set for release Oct. 24.

• Wedding Crashers star Rachel McAdams teams up with Tim Robbins and Michael Pe%26#241;a in The Lucky Ones, a drama about three soldiers returning home to the U.S. after serving in Iraq. The film, due to open Sept. 26, has been sitting on the shelf for months after Hollywood became hesitant following the box office failure of several war-themed movies - Rendition, Lions for Lambs, Stop-Loss - in late 2007 and early 2008.

• Rising British heartthrob Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe and 21) portrays a young Irishman in Belfast in the 1980s who finds himself unintentionally caught between the British Army and the IRA in Fifty Dead Men Walking. Ben Kingsley and Rose McGowan costar. The film does not yet have a U.S. release date.

Singing under the influence helped Keira Knightley ace her audition for the upcoming movie remake of My Fair Lady.

“I probably did slur my words,” Knightley told the U.K. edition of Glamour in its September issue about having a drink before her audition to play Eliza Doolittle. “I told %26#91;producer Cameron Mackintosh%26#93; that would be the only way I could sing in front of everyone.”

However, Knightley soon realized that calming her nerves also had its drawbacks. “The problem with doing it is that alcohol dehydrates you, which isn’t very helpful for singing. But they said it was alright.”

“There’s nothing like a musical,” she says. “Whenever I am feeling remotely down I put on Gigi. But the best musical ever has to be Fiddler On The Roof. I gave the DVD to my brother for Christmas in an attempt to convert him.”

While My Fair Lady will mark Knightley’s musical debut, it isn’t her first time singing onscreen. She also sang in the recent biopic The Edge of Love.

Scary auditions aside, Knightley, who is dating actor Rupert Friend, told the magazine she has never been happier. “At this particular time, I probably am more comfortable with myself. Just now I’m having a lovely time.”

It’s been a very good year for Will Smith. Not only is his Hancock a runaway box-office hit, but he also banked an impressive $80 million - making him Hollywood’s top money earner last year, according to a new ranking from Forbes.

Cameron Diaz is no victim of the current economic pinch, either. Making $50 million last year, the Shrek and What Happens in Vegas star was Tinsel Town’s top-earning female, reports the business publication.

Among others in the financial stratosphere: No. 2-ranked Johnny Depp, with a $72 million paycheck, and, tied for third place, Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers, with $55 million each - even though Myers’s recent The Love Guru tanked.

And while Atonement leading lady Keira Knightley earned $32 million, and Jennifer Aniston pulled in $27 million, Forbes notes that, once the gold dust settles, men make twice as much as women in Hollywood.

In terms of media personalities, Oprah Winfrey still owns the bank. Her earnings last year were a staggering $275 million.

As for other TV stars, Charlie Sheen was the top-earning male ($20 million), while Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl - who’s also been stepping into big-screen roles - deposited $13 million, making her the top-ranking female.
