Uggie and Cosmo, the Dogs From 'The Artist' and 'Beginners,' Meet (VIDEO)

It's a movie -- and dog -- lover's dream come true! Uggie and Cosmo, the cute canine stars of awards-magnets 'The Artist' and 'Beginners,' met in a photo studio to pose for pictures. Despite there being a "Vote for Uggie" campaign, there didn't seem to be any rivalry between these two completely adorable, very talented Jack Russells. From the looks of it, the shoot was just a lot of tail wagging and a little bit of scenery chewing. (Hope that's not a real Oscar statuette Uggie's got there.) See the video after the jump. Can't get enough movie mutts? Look for our Top 11 Movie Dogs of 2011 list, out next week. [via THR] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook

Judge Orders Man To Stay Away From Kirsten Dunst

First Published: December 9, 2011 9:45 PM EST Credit: Getty Images LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Kirsten Dunst sports a black coat at The Hollywood Reporters Annual Power 100: Women In Entertainment Breakfast at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. on December 7, 2011 A judge on Friday granted Kirsten Dunst a temporary restraining order against a French man who has repeatedly written to the actress and traveled to Los Angeles at least five times to try to meet her. Superior Court Judge Carol Boas Goodson ordered Jean Christophe Prudhon of Dijon, France, to stay 100 yards away from the Spider-Man star and to stop trying to contact her. In letters accompanying Dunsts petition, Prudhon wrote that he sold his home in France so he could continue to travel to meet Dunst, who has not responded to any of his more than 50 letters. He wrote that he is in love with the actress and that he has repeatedly waited outside Dunsts home to try to meet her and has been mistaken for a paparazzo. I am frightened for my safety, as well as the safety of my family and friends who visit my home, Dunst wrote in a court filing. I am worried that Mr. Prudhon will escalate his conduct further, putting myself and my family in danger. Dunsts mother, Inez Dunst, wrote in a sworn declaration that she was alarmed by Prudhons appearance when he came to her door last week trying to meet the actress. Inez Dunst said she knew who he was because he has repeatedly sent her daughter letters over the years. It could not be immediately determined if Prudhon, 51, was represented by a lawyer, and attempts to locate him for comment were unsuccessful. The actress, who recently appeared in the film Melancholia, wrote in a court filing that her security personnel told Prudhon to stay away, but he has refused. Goodson will consider whether to grant a three-year restraining order at a Dec. 21 hearing. Copyright 2011 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Judge Slams Attorneys in 'South Park' 'What What (In the Butt)' Copyright Lawsuit (Video)

Hollywood's leading ladies -- and a few good men -- took to the Beverly Hills Hotel on Wednesday, Dec. 7 to honor The Hollywood Reporter's annual Women in Entertainment power list, but all eyes were on Jane Fonda as she accepted the coveted Sherry Lansing Leadership Award.our editor recommendsJane Fonda Opens Up About Her Father, Her Return to Acting and the Lesson She Learned From Warren Beatty Jane Fonda to be Honored at THR's Women in Entertainment BreakfastAnne Sweeney Tops THR's 2011 Women in Entertainment Power 100 ListTHR's 2011 Women in Entertainment Power 100 Related Topics•Women in Entertainment PHOTOS: 2011 Women in Entertainment Power 100 Fonda tearfully took the stage after a touching introduction from Lansing herself, telling the audience, "I didn't expect I would cry." The legendary actress later acknowledged that while her Golden Globe, Emmy and Oscar statues were collecting dust, she was thrilled to add a new piece of hardware to her collection. "I'm really honored to accept this award, which I guess is made out of a chunk of the glass ceiling Sherry broke through," she said. On the red carpet, Fonda told THR which ladies in the business served as her personal inspiration over the years. "Sherry Lansing is a role model," she said. "I worked with her in the late 70s and I really admire her. I think Katharine Hepburn is the woman I learned the most from." COMPLETE LIST: 2011 Women in Entertainment Power 100 Lansing echoed Fonda's admiration on the carpet, saying that she was "intimidated" upon first meeting the actress. The duo first worked together on The China Syndrome, released in 1979. "Jane Fonda was one of my biggest role models in life, which is why it's so ironic and such a pleasure to be giving her this award," Lansing told THR. "I really can't believe it's happening. She was someone I admired and someone who intimidated me, she doesn't anymore, but someone I aspired to be. I admired her authenticity, I admired her honesty, I admired her courage, and I admired the fact that she wasn't afraid to take a stand." STORY: Jane Fonda to be Honored at THR's Women in Entertainment Breakfast As the latest recipient of the leadership award, Fonda joins the ranks of Meryl Streep, Halle Berry, Jodie Foster, Glenn Close and Barbara Walters. Last year, Dame Helen Mirren took home the award. So what do all these females have in common? "Intelligence, compassion, strategy, kindness [and] knowing a good story," Fonda said of the qualities necessary to be a female power leader.
