Oscar nominees Salma Hayek Pinault, Melissa McCarthy, Liam Neeson and John Travolta have been added to the list of presenters for the Oscar telecast on February 24, show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced on Monday, February 18.

Hayek Pinault earned her Oscar nomination for her leading performance in the 2002 movie "Frida." She will be seen next in "Grown Ups 2."

Salma Hayek might be considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she said that she's surprised she gets jobs because of her perceived imperfections.

"I have an accent, am dyslexic, short and chubby," Hayek told Harper's Bazaar UK for their November issue. "You name it, I have it, but I am here. I must be the luckiest girl in the world to be working."

Blake Lively and Salma Hayek both turned heads at the launch party for the new fragrance Gucci Premiere at the Hotel Cipriani in Venice, Italy on Saturday.

Lively, the 25-year-old star of the CW series "Gossip Girl," wore a burgundy Gucci sleeveless, deep v-neck mini-dress with flower detail around the neckline and matching Gucci strappy, stiletto sandals. Hayek arrived in a black chiffon, long-sleeve, over-the-knee Gucci Fall-Winter 2012-13 dress with a beaded bodice and embroidered skirt.

Salma Hayek says it felt "good to be bad" as the villain Elena, the head of a Mexican drug cartel, in Oliver Stone's new film "Savages."

In the movie, the 45-year-old actress' character masterminds the kidnapping of an American woman named O, played by Blake Lively, who has two boyfriends who happen to be pot growers, portrayed by Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson. Elena is helped by two male accomplices, played by Benicio Del Toro and Demian Bichir.

Salma Hayek talks to OTRC about her villain character in Oliver Stone's 'Savages,' released on July 5, 2012.

Salma Hayek has in the past brought her daughter Valentina, 4, to visit her on movie sets, but the actress says she opted to keep her away from her latest project - Oliver Stone's new film "Savages."

In the R-rated flick, the 45-year-old Oscar nominee plays Elena, a "queen" of a Mexican drug cartel that kidnaps a girl named O, played by Blake Lively, who is in a romantic and sexual relationship with two male pot growers, who are friends, portrayed by Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch.

Supermodel Linda Evangelista and a billionaire French businessman Francois-Henri Pinaul, the husband of actress Salma Hayek, have reached an agreement in their child support case, reports the Associated Press.

Lawyers for both parties will give the details to a magistrate on May 8. The two were in court last week over child support for their five-year-old son Augustin James.

Supermodel Linda Evangelista and ex-boyfriend Francois-Henri Pinault, a French business man who is now married to actress Salma Hayek, were in a New York City family courtroom on May 3 over child support for their five-year-old son Augustin James.

Evangelista is taking Pinault to court to ensure that he pays for child-rearing expenses. The model is reportedly requesting nearly $50,000 a month, a sum that includes expenses like armed bodyguards, a 24 hour nanny as well as other costs, according to the Associated Press.

Blake Lively's career takes a turn for the gritty in the newly released trailer for Oliver Stone's "Savages."

"Savages" follows pot growing best friends Ben and Chon (Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch) who fight back against a Mexican drug cartel who kidnapped their shared girlfriend O (Lively) after they refuse to go into business with them.

Salma Hayek wore a low-cut, black lace Alexander McQueen dress with a nude, silk underlay and shoulder pads to the recent launch of the 24 Hours Museum at the Palais d'Iena in Paris.

The 45-year-old completed the look with a black velvet choker and black platform heels. Her long-sleeve, knee-length dress, which features scalloped edges and a cutaway skirt, retails for at least $2,000. Hayek attended the event on Tuesday, January 24, with husband Francois-Henri Pinault, the CEO of luxury goods company PPR, which also owns fashion labels like Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta and 50.

Salma Hayek is one a few celebrities to get a high honor in France.

The actress was reportedly named by French President Nicolas Sarkozy as one of the recipients of an award for the Legion d'Honneur in France on January 1, according to People magazine.

Zach Galifianakis, who is famous for his off-center brand of humor, doesn't have any kids, but jokes that he might attain some with his new film "Puss in Boots."

"I don't have any kids, but I'm hoping with this movie that I'll be able to lure some in," Galifianakis joked to OnTheRedCarpet.com. "Cause I just got my van tinted... it's got ice cream truck music blaring out of it... It's a kids movie, you're not supposed to make child abduction jokes."

Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas offered their voices for the new "Puss in Boots" film, but the actors claim the family-friendly film is not just for kids.

"It was designed like that, to give everyone in the family a thrill, in different levels," Banderas told OnTheRedCarpet.com at a recent press junket. "Never are the adult levels of the movie going to hurt the kids. It's just very well crafted - the whole entire thing."
