COLOMBIAN WOMAN STUNS WORLD WITH SALMA HAYEK CLAIM

A Colombian woman has revealed herself to be the aunt of Mexican actress Salma Hayek, in an interview with Univision TV show El Gordo y La Flaca.

The news, which is likely to dominate international media outlets for the forseeable future, broke when Alicia Hayek de Borj announced, "I saw her and said, 'This is a niece of mine, how do I go to Mexico to see her?'"

The announcement initially took Univision producers by surprise because, given the striking physical resemblance, they thought it was actually the actress being interviewed.

However de Borj wasted no time setting the record straight, divulging that her father had emigrated to Colombia in the 1920s and spawned 20 children by different women. Of those children, one son emigrated to Mexico and went on to be Salma Hayek's grandfather.

"It is a family which grew up with one poor line and one of silver," said the impoverished de Borj.

The show purportedly corroborated the blood line by 'comparing names on official documents,' amid de Borj's insistence that she does not want money - just a holiday to Mexico perhaps.

In a similar turn of events, a tiny baby in Argentina has been revealed as Barack Obama's grandfather.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE ON DECK FOR CLINT EASTWOOD BASEBALL FLICK

Who needs a music career when you have a bustling movie career? Right, Justin Timberlake?

The singer has added another role to his growing docket of movies. He's next set to star alongside screen legend Clint Eastwood in "Trouble With the Curve." The guys will be joined by Amy Adams in the film, which revolves around an aging baseball scout (played by Eastwood) who goes on a road trip to Atlanta with his daughter (Adams) to check out a potential recruit.

Timberlake is set to play Eastwood's friend Johnny Flanagan, a former baseball player himself who is now a Yankees talent scout. Flanagan may also turn out to be Adams' potential love interest.

Eastwood will not be directing this project. That honor will go to his longtime producing partner, Robert Lorenz, making this his directorial debut, Variety reports.

Before Timberlake hits the set for this project, he's first slated to star in the Coen brothers' next film, "Inside Llewyn Davis." MTV News recently caught up with co-star Oscar Isaac, who shared his excitement about the project, which is set during the folk movement in New York City during the 1960's.

Though Timberlake won't be singing alongside Eastwood, he will get the chance to croon in the Coen brothers flick. The music is being written and produced by the likes of the Punch Brothers, T-Bone Burnett and Marcus Mumford. "It's folk from the '60s — old songs passed down for many generations — but new takes on them," Isaac said.

"Obviously we have the hindsight of now and so we kind of revisit these old songs. They're hopeful and beautiful and in contrast [to] the life of a folk singer, which is not very beautiful at all. It's very drab and dire. It's a screwball comedy."

DRAKE SAYS HE WON'T RESPOND TO COMMON DISS, HE IS RECORDING NEW MUSIC

After Common said the beef was over, Drizzy says he won't entertain the battle in the future.

Common recently said that he is ready to move on from the beef with Drake, to which Drizzy has finally broken his silence. On the set of the video for “The Motto” with The Weeknd, Nah Right’s Nation spoke with the Young Money rapper who said he wouldn’t record another diss track towards Com and said that he used the beef to promote his latest album, The Dreamer, The Believer.

“No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a ‘hip hop moment’ or a ‘battle for the sake of musical integrity’…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album,” he said. “More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.”

Additionally, Drake said that he plans to tour through 2012 and has already begun recording new music.

“I have begun working on new music already and I’ll be recording during the whole college tour with 40. Making better music and building myself as a business is all that’s on my mind. Hopefully some acting as well.”

ANGELINA JOLIE 'SAVED' BY KIDS

Angelina Jolie's children have helped her rediscover a "carefree" life.

The "In The Land Of Blood And Honey" director -- who raises Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, five, and twins Knox and Vivienne, three, with her partner Brad Pitt -- admitted she went through a "self-destructive" phase but her kids saved her.

She said: "I had grown up as a pretty scary teenager who was self destructive and didn't have a good outlook on life. Acting gave me a better place to be but early in my career I didn't appreciate what the world offered me.

"I had a pretty warped perception of the world. I grew up as this very carefree, happy kid then things turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw the world wasn't as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for me.

"I'm just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family and my children brought me back some of that spirit."

Angelina also revealed she was surprised by how motherhood changed her from a loner to someone who loves being surrounded by people.

She added in an interview with The Sun newspaper: "When you have a big family you just give up your personal life at a certain point.

"You even try to take a bath and everybody comes in so you give up and that's OK. As somebody who likes to be alone, I surprise myself that I'm very happy to be surrounded by everybody in my family. I feel that comfort."
