Jon Favreau writes, directs and stars in “Chef.” The first trailer shows Favreau starting a food truck business after his restaurant job makes him miserable. The film looks more like a “Swingers”-sized indie comedy than an action blockbuster like “Iron Man,” but the cast still includes big names like Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson. “Chef,” which also stars Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo and Dustin Hoffman, opens May 9.
“The Expendables 3″ star Jason Statham makes a cameo in Calvin Harris’ new music video for “Summer.” The actor and Scottish DJ appear in a drag racing scene in the desert, interspersed with footage of Harris posing like a rock star and women in barely-there outfits.

Peaches Geldof on her wedding day with dad Bob, husband Tom Cohen and son Astala. Picture: HELLO! MAGAZINE
She and Bob Geldof had three daughters together, and sitting upstairs in the Le Circ club in Ballsbridge, Paula raved about motherhood and the love she felt for daughters Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom and Pixie.
With the short blonde hair, the slick of red lipstick, the quirky vintage-infused style of dressing, Peaches had lots of the fashion chuztpah and the same audacity that her late mother displayed and you’d often bump into her at London Fashion Week.
Only last week at the Tesco AW14 press show in London, Peaches was one of the celebrity guests photographed at Somerset House as the supermarket brand showcased their new FF collection.
Even in a black cropped top, print skirt, fringed bag and Mary Jane shoes, Peaches turned heads.
No one ever knew what she was going to turn up in, which only added to the intrigue.
Voted on to Tatler’s Top 10 Fashion Icons in 2006, Peaches was the youngest on the list.
While she adored Vivienne Westwood clothes and the designer’s environmental views, Bob’s middle daughter was equally happy wearing high street as posh, expensive frocks.
In February, she went to the Brits in a black River Island crop top and, also that month, she joined Laura Whitmore at the NME awards in a black Julien Macdonald Fall 2013 frock and a J Brand leather jacket.
The blonde who overcame weight loss issues three years ago was just as happy in the front row at catwalk shows as she was modelling at them. She wrote fashion columns and talked style on her magazine-format TV show. While she was a hired-gun for fashion collaborations and modelling gigs, Peaches described her own style as flitting “between very folk, ’60s hippy and grunge”.
Peaches became all the more fascinating to watch as she mixed it up, prim and punk, all in one look.
However, it was the breathtakingly beautiful photographs of her in a custom-made Alberta Ferretti wedding dress that will forever be etched in my memory.
She did it in style like her mum – even marrying in the same church as Bob and Paula had 26 years earlier.
Peaches wore three frocks on the day.
However, it was the ethereal, off-the-shoulder dress she wore on the front of ‘Hello!’, with her daisy garland head wreath and signature heavy eye liner that captivated readers.
Undoubtedly, Peaches had a great eye for fashion and had inked a number of collaborations to her name.
In 2008, she teamed up with British designers PPQ to create a capsule collection of dresses, bags and separates, walking in their S/S08 show, and gracing their London Fashion Week front row with sister Pixie for A/W08.
She wore her heart on her sleeve – with her tattoos. A heart on her right buttock, rosary beads and a crucifix on her left forearm, and a snake on her left shin, Peaches admitted she was addicted to tattoos and each time she modelled, particularly the lingerie shots for Ultimo and Agent Provocateur, we could see more of the body artwork.
Fashion heads who followed her on Twitter also became accustomed to Peaches as the mother who tweeted photos of her kids several times a day.
