In another still, Bella and her little girl - who has grown at a rapid rate because of her vampire DNA - are seen in a tent together, as the child gazes adoringly up at her mother.

Another shot shows Renesmee with Jacob, who initially tried to kill her as a bay after he mistakenly thought she had killed her mother during her birth.

But instead he 'imprints' on her and singles her out as his soulmate.

The second half of Breaking Dawn, which hits cinemas this November, focuses on the Cullen's fight against the ancient and royal vampire coven, the Volturi, who believe that Renesmee was born human and was turned into a vampire by the Cullens.

Seeing her as an immortal child and therefore a threat to the secret existence of vampires, they intend to seek her out and destroy her and the Cullens.

They include the Amazon coven and the stills show members Zafrina, played by British actress Judi Shekoni, who arrives to protect Renesmee with her creator Kachiri.

They are joined by sisters Kate and Tanya and couple Eleazar and Carmen from the Alaskan Denali coven.

We know she can hold a tune thanks to her performance at last year's Oscars.

But it sounds like Anne Hathaway has been putting the practice in for her role in upcoming film Les Misérables.

The Hollywood actress's singing takes centrestage in the first preview of the epic movie due out in December, which also stars Amanda Seyfried, 26, Hugh Jackman, 43, Russell Crowe, 48, and Eddie Redmayne, 30.

Looking gaunt, the 29-year-old belts out classic I Dreamed A Dream against a moody backdrop of 19th century France.

Miserable: Hathaway plays troubled French factory worker Fantine who is forced to cut and sell her hair and become a prostitute in order to survive

Hathaway plays troubled French factory worker Fantine who is forced to sell her hair and become a prostitute in order to survive.

At one stage in the preview, Hathaway is seen weeping as she has her long locks chopped. The actress actually had her hair cut off in the film and is also thought to have gone on a controversial 500-calorie-a-day crash diet where she shed a stone in 20 days.


Long and short of it: Anne's character cries as she has her beautiful locks shorn off

Belter: Hathaway and the rest of the cast sung their songs live rather than lip-synching to a track. Director Tom Hooper called the actress's I Dreamed a Dream 'just jaw-dropping'

Les Misérables, which is directed by King's Speech Oscar winner Tom Hooper, tells the story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, (Jackman) who is hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole.

When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette (Seyfried), their lives change forever.

Easier: Jackman said it was actually easier to sing live rather than having to make it look like you are singing

All the dialogue in the film is sung live by the actors; usually they would lip-sync to a pre-recorded track.

Hooper told USA Today it was the only way he wanted to do it.

He said: 'If you are miming to a playback, even if the synchronisation is done very well, there is a part of you that knows something is off, something is false. When it's live, you believe it so much more.

'The actors have complete freedom rather than following a recording done three months before.'


On a mission: Russell Crowe as ruthless policeman Javert


All-star cast: The film also stars handsome My Week With Marilyn actor Eddie Redmayne

And Hooper had praise for Hathaway's performance. He said: 'Anne has been an extraordinary exponent of singing live.

'Her I Dreamed a Dream is just jaw-dropping. It is so raw and heartfelt. It's done in a way you could never do in playback.'

Jackman said it was actually easier to sing live rather than having to pretend to be singing along to a track.

Legacy: The film has been adapted from the smash hit stage show that has been seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the world

Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter co-star in the movie, while I'd Do Anything finalist Samantha Barks plays the role of Eponine.

The film has been adapted from the smash stage show that has been seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the world.

As well as I Dreamed A Dream, other songs include Bring Him Home, One Day More and On My Own

The Iron Lady: Meryl Streep looked chic and sophisticated at the premiere of her latest film which sees her play Margaret Thatcher


She's already won an award for her portrayal as Margaret Thatcher and tonight Meryl Streep looked set for more success.

The 62-year-old actress was beaming as she walked the blue carpet at the UK premiere of The Iron Lady tonight.

Despite the cold British weather, Streep looked in good spirits as she chatted with fans and prepared to show off her latest film.

Covered up: The actress wore a long black dress with chunky heeled boots and an oversized coat for the event at BFI Southbank


The star made sure she was wrapped up for the event, which was held at the BFI Southbank.

Posing for photographs in a long black dress that had a hint of a plunging neckline, Streep teamed it with an oversized black and blue poncho-style winter coat.

She finished off her look with a chunky pair of black-heeled boots and a gold statement necklace and matching cuff bangle.

As the mother-of-four had fun meeting and greeting her fans, an array of famous faces took their place on the carpet.


Happy to join in: Streep posed for photos with her many fans

Spotlight: All eyes were on Streep as she graced the blue carpet


Her onscreen husband Jim Broadbent looked very smart in a grey three-piece suit which he wore with a white shirt.

The pair posed for photographs once they were inside and are no doubt excited about the response to the film.

Another onscreen couple were also there to pose together - Alexandra Roach and Harry Lloyd.


Important role: Jim Broadbent plays the Prime Minister's husband Denis Thatcher

Set for success: Streep and Broadbent are no doubt looking forward to the response to the film


The pair play Margaret and Denis Thatcher when they were younger and appeared to be soaking up the atmosphere at the premiere.

Roach was channelling a Sixties look wearing a yellow Emilia Wickstead dress with black pointy heels and her dark hair in a beehive.

Lloyd looked just as dressed up wearing a dark suit and navy winter coat.

Another young actress who glammed up for the occasion was Emily Head.

The Inbetweeners star showed off her legs in a very short black and red dress, but she kept the cold at bay by teaming it with a pair of black tights.

She posed for photographs with her famous father Anthony Head - who portrays Geoffrey Howe in the film.

He was also joined by his other daughter, Daisy, who is also an actress.

Someone who wasn't bothered about covering her legs up was actress Emilia Fox.

The pretty star wore a midi-length grey shiny dress with a pair of black peep-toe heels.

She was followed by Harry Potter star Fiona Shaw who wore an unusual pair of tights with a fur-trimmed coat.

Among the crowd waiting to catch a glimpse of all the famous faces was 17-month-old Tyler Secomb.

The youngster is becoming a bit of a regular at film premieres after she was spotted having her photo taken with Johnny Depp at The Rum Diary premiere in November last year.

Streep also paid Secomb - who was wearing the same pink all-in-one suit - some special attention and made sure they had a photo together.

In the highly-anticipated film - directed by Phyllida Lloyd - she portrays the British Prime Minister through a series of flashbacks, which includes a look at the 17 days leading up to the Falklands War in 1982.

The Iron Lady will be showing at cinemas across the UK from January 6.

Just like the movies: Star of the movie Hairspray, Nikki Blonksy, is now working at Superstar Hairstylists in her hometown of Great Neck, New York


Times are tough and with a career in Hollywood now looking unlikely, Nikki Blonsky has decided to go back to her roots.

Blonsky, who starred alongside John Travolta in Hairspray and also appeared in the short-lived TV series Huge, as just begun working at Superstar Hairstylists in her home town of Great Neck.

The actress has gained a cosmetology license and is working at a salon in Long Island, where she does everything from applying make-up to sweeping the floor, according to Radar Online.

Superstar: Nikki with her first ever customer, Rosa, at Superstar Hairstylists


'I was in the salon having my hair done and I saw her working there,' a shocked customer told the website.

'I couldn't believe it. She was sweeping up hair but also doing people's make up.'

But Nikki, who also appeared in Ugly Betty, has not given up on her dream of hitting the big time again.

'I asked her if she was still acting and she said that she is auditioning a lot,' she continued. 'But she needs a day job too.'

Cut: Nikki's Hollywood career seems to have stalled although she co-starred with Zac Efron and John Travolta in the cult film


At least Nikki's new career seems to be a success so far.

The salon's Facebook page is full of welcoming messages for her and rave reviews of her work as a make up artist.

One customer said: 'I was so surprised today when I showed up at Superstar to get my makeup done and it turned out to be Nikki Blonsky applying it.'

'She did a great job and I really look like a SUPERSTAR. Thanks to all the wonderful staff and I wish all the best to their newest employee cosmetologist Nikki Blonsky.'

Firm hold: Nikki has not let her previous success go to her head but has taken on a job in a hair salon in her home town while she auditions for movie parts


Back in July reports had spread that Nikki was working in a shoe store in Great Neck.

But Nikki denied the story on Twitter saying: 'So much false reporting! & false quotes. NO career changing! just experimented 4 a day working @ a friends boutique 2 see what it was like.'

'NO singing or dancing happened, but it was fun trying something new for a day : )'

Strangely, the owner Steven Dann was quoted as saying Nikki was working, 'two to three days a week dependent on her schedule.'
