LeBron James, 'More Than a Game'

Filmgoers may not immediately recognize the Cleveland Cavaliers small forward, but that’s only because “More Than a Game” follows LeBron James’ high school years. The documentary specifically revolves around James and four of his friends / teammates as they vie for high school championship titles and as James solidifies his status as a soon-to-be star of the NBA.

Fergie, 'Nine'

Fergie is already a household name thanks to her illustrious music career with the Black Eyed Peas and as a solo artist. But this fall, Fergie will take her acting career to the next level with a role in the Fellini-inspired musical “Nine.” After small roles in the 2006 flop “Poseidon” and “Grindhouse,” Fergie (billed as Stacy Ferguson) will be part of an all-star cast including Oscar winners Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Daniel Day-Lewis.
