Hi, I'm Melisse Hinkle with your UPI Entertainment Update on this Tuesday, May 27, 2008. Jackie Chan is planning to create a film about the victims from the earthquake in China. The martial arts movie star has already reportedly donated $1.4 million to those affected by the natural disaster. He tells the BBC he hopes the film will be another way to solicit funds for quake survivors. The Chinese actor says he's happy to see help coming in from other countries. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie now own a new home in the south of France. A source tells E! News the pair purchased a $60 million estate that includes 1,000 acres of land, 35 bedrooms and a vineyard. The estate is named Chateau Miraval and it's apparently surrounded by trees, giving the couple a private sanctuary. Pitt and Jolie are reportedly furniture shopping for their new abode. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull topped box offices over the holiday weekend. The Los Angeles Times reports the fourth installment of the series, starring Harrison Ford, has reportedly taken in an estimated $151 million so far in North America. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian with Ben Barnes, Georgie Henley and William Moseley dropped to No.2...and Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr. is holding onto the No. 3 spot. That's according to Box Office Mojo. Cristian de la Fuente is recovering after an operation to repair a torn bicep. The actor's doctor says the Dancing With the Stars finalist is expected to make a full recovery. The Chilean star took home third place in the dance off, despite sustaining the injury while performing the samba nearly a month ago. He will reportedly be in a splint for about a week before beginning rehab. The Cannes Film Festival wrapped up on Sunday with a screening of the film What Just Happened? The movie's star, Robert de Niro, stepped out for the event. French director Laurent Cantet won the Palm d'Or, the festival's top prize, for his film Entre les Murs. The jury reportedly voted unanimously on the award, marking the first time a French film has won the prize since 1987. That's it for now.
