Being a famous actress comes with a lot of perks, but as history has proven, it's not the easiest job in the world. Kate Bosworth opened up about how "intense and overwhelming" it can be to live in the spotlight on the Ladies First With Laura Brown podcast, where she talked about her rise to fame following the premiere of the surf drama Blue Crush. The movie came out in 2002 and was a smash hit, landing the then-21-year-old actress roles in movies like Win a Date With Tad Hamilton! and Superman Returns.

Win A Date With Ted Hamilton star Kate Bosworth is grateful to the media for bringing her closer to her actor boyfriend Orlando Bloom.

The 20-year-old says, "when you become a public figure you're sort of giving yourself to the world and you realize the people who matter are the ones who know you best. It brought me closer to my loved ones and made me appreciate them. I try not to be suspicious of new people, but it's natural I am a little."

The media have already dubbed this weekend's boxoffice showdown as the Battle of the That '70s Show Stars. But despite the fact that two of that sitcom's regulars, Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace, headline the two new wide releases, the contest is really one between vastly different genres. Kutcher's The Butterfly Effect is a spooky, time-traveling, psychological thriller, and Grace's Win a Date With Tad Hamilton! is a lighter-than-air, teen-centric romantic comedy. Kutcher is, of course, much more of a proven boxoffice commodity than Grace. Although Grace has appeared in such ensemble films as Traffic and Mona Lisa Smile, his individual appeal has yet to be tested. Kutcher can boast of the unforgettable Dude, Where's My Car? ($46.7 million) and January 2003's surprise hit Just Married ($56 million). (The August release My Boss's Daughter, which flatlined at $15.5 million, is best forgotten.) Still, it's the genre, not the stars, that may determine this weekend's returns.

Nathan Lane has closed a deal to join Kate Bosworth, Josh Duhamel and Topher Grace in DreamWorks Pictures' Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!!! for director Robert Luketic and Red Wagon Entertainment. The romantic comedy, due to begin lensing in mid-May, centers on small-town grocery store clerk Rosalee (Bosworth), who wins a contest that gets her out of West Virginia to Hollywood for a date with the hottest, most eligible movie star (Duhamel). Once in town, on what should be the typical publicity meet-and-greet, she finds herself in the middle of a love triangle with the movie hunk and her longtime best friend (Grace), a fellow clerk who has been in love with Rosalee since the sixth grade. Lane is set to play Hamilton's Hollywood power agent. Red Wagon's Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher are producing from a script by Vic Levin. Red Wagon senior vp Matt Berenson and creative executive Pete Chiarelli brought the project to their company. At DreamWorks, the project is shepherded by production exec Marc Haimes. Lane is repped by UTA and attorney Sam Fisher. Lane most recently starred on the big screen in United Artists' Nicholas Nickleby.

Kate Bosworth finally has her movie star crush and DreamWorks Pictures and director Robert Luketic have found an actor to play the title role in the romantic comedy Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!!! Soap star Josh Duhamel will play the title role of Tad Hamilton in the film, which Red Wagon Entertainment's Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher are producing from a script by Vic Levin. The project sees Bosworth playing Rosalee, a small-town grocery store clerk who finds herself the winner of a contest that gets her out of West Virginia to Hollywood for a date with the hottest, most eligible movie star, played by Duhamel. Once in town, on what should be the typical publicity meet-and-greet, she finds herself in the middle of a love triangle with the movie hunk and her longtime best friend (Topher Grace), a fellow clerk who has been in love with Rosalee since the sixth grade. The casting of Duhamel last week gave the project a May start date as his role was the last major one to be filled. According to sources, the studio and the producers first went after such big-name actors as Ben Affleck, Hugh Grant, Matthew McConaughey, James Franco and Heath Ledger to fill the key part before changing direction and getting a relative unknown like Duhamel. Red Wagon senior vp Matt Berenson and creative executive Pete Chiarelli brought the project to their company. At DreamWorks, the project is shepherded by production executive Marc Haimes. Duhamel is repped by the Gersh Agency and manager John Carrabino. His credits include All My Children and the NBC series Ed.
