Sheridan Smith takes centre stage in sophisticated dress at German premiere of Quartet


She scrubs up well: Sheridan Smith takes centre stage in sophisticated dress at German premiere of Quartet 

| 
    She recently said she's played ‘mainly slappers and chavs’ throughout her career so far.
But while Sheridan Smith may play them on screen, off screen she proved that she’s every inch the glamorous film star. 
The blonde haired actress made sure all eyes were on her as she attended the German premiere of her latest film and Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut Quartet.

The 31-year-old looked sophisticated in a skirt which fell just below her knees.
While the pencil skirt was black, she teamed it with a pretty patterned silver top, which was cinched in at the waist. 
Sheridan showed off her slim legs by going bare-legged with open-toe black heels.

The Gavin and Stacey star was accompanied by Dame Gwyneth Jones and Tom Courtenay, as well as the director himself Dustin Hoffman and his wife Lisa Gottsegen.
Sheridan recently spoke to Digital Spy about working alongside the cast of the film, which includes Billy Connolly.

She said: ‘I can't believe little old me is beside all that acting royalty,
‘Billy's brilliant. He's good at ad-libbing, he can throw some extra things in. A lot of it was genuine laughter and flirting. 
‘He's got a little twinkle, Billy. I think Dr Cogan has a little soft spot for him even though he does overstep the line sometimes with his comments.’

The film, which is based on the play with the same title by Ronald Harwood, stars Maggie Smith, Tom  Courtenay, Pauline Collins, and Billy Connolly.
The four well-known actors play retired opera singers who put on an annual concert to celebrate Verdi’s birthday.
However when Maggie Smith’s character arrives it disrupts the equilibrium resulting in old rivalries resurfacing until it becomes unclear if the show will go on.

Jennifer Lawrence shows off her sensational curves in a VERY low-cut top at star-studded Hollywood lunch


Looking like $10m! Jennifer Lawrence shows off her sensational curves in a VERY low-cut top at star-studded Hollywood lunch 

| 
She is receiving a whopping paycheck to appear in the Hunger Games sequel.
And Jennifer Lawrence certainly looked like several million dollars as she stepped out on the red-carpet today. 
The 21-year-old put her best foot forward to attend the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's 2012 Installation Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The Hunger Games star showed off her sensational curves in one of her trademark low-cut outfits at the star-studded event.
The actress took a walk on the wild side in a snake-skin printed dress, featuring the reptile pattern on the top and a black pencil skirt on the bottom.
Opting for no accessories, she teamed the look with a pair of simple black pointed-toe stilettos.

Simply glowing, Jennifer wore her golden locks out in a wave and flashed her million dollar smile to the cameras.
Also joining the Hollywood starlet at the event was Mad Men star Christina Hendricks.
But unlike Jennifer, and in fact unlike herself, the 37-year-old uncharacteristically covered up her curves.

She did however look incredibly chic in a sheer silk pussy bow shirt tucked into a pencil skirt.
The vintage-loving actress paired the look with some peep-toe heels and a red clutch, which almost matched her fiery red-hair.
Meanwhile, Kerry Washington injected some colour into the event, looking sweet in a sorbet pink silk organza A-line minidress featuring red stripes on the skirt.

There was lots of man power at the event too. 
While his wife Kelly Preston holidays in Tahiti, John Travolta was seen mingling with guests at today's event. 
The 58-year-old, who is continuing to try and put recent gay sex allegations behind him, posed with some of Hollywood's other leading men, including Bradley Cooper and Dustin Hoffman. 
But it was certainly Jennifer who stole the limelight at today's event, and in probably more ways than one.
This week it was reported that the young star had secured a $10m deal to appear in the Hunger Games sequel.
Jennifer managed to secure a $9.5m pay rise, having been paid just $500,000 for the first movie.

The Hollywood Reporter explained that the figure is a combination of 'salary, bonuses and escalators', but if the movie does well at the box office, she could earn significantly more than $10million.
Following the news, Jennifer's co-stars were left hungry for more after learning of the astonishing deal.
Liam Hemsworth, 22, and Josh Hutcherson, 19, have apparently been offered $2m each to star in the Catching Fire follow-up.

But the pair are apparently driving a hard bargain, and demanding $5m each, threatening to walk if their requests are not met, according to RadarOnline.
Australian actor Liam and U.S. star Josh are said to be trying to thrash out a better deal with the studio, Lionsgate.
A source told RadarOnline: 'They’re not demanding as much as Jennifer, they’re aware she plays a bigger role in the films, but they want a little more than the $2 million they were each offered.

'With the success of the first movie, they feel that $5 million is a more suitable fee and are haggling with the studio before dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s on their deals.
'And they have even said they may not return for the sequel, which they hope will be a bargaining chip for a bigger pay packet.'
The insider said the pair got wind of Jennifer's huge pay rise, prompting them to up their price.
Jennifer, who plays Katniss Everdeen, has signed a contract to appear in all four Hunger Games movies - the sequel Catching Fire and the final book Mockingjay, which is set to be split into two films.
Production on Catching Fire is set to begin in September, with a tentative release date slated for November 2013.
The first movie was a box office smash, and took a staggering $673m in ticket sales worldwide.
