Zoe Saldana refusing to give smart phones to her twins
Zoe Saldana is refusing to give smart phones to her 10-year-old twins.
The Hollywood actress is mother to 10-year-old sons Cy and Bowie - as well as their younger brother Zen, eight - with her husband Marco Perego and she's revealed the elder boys have been pestering her for smart phones but she's refusing to give in to their demands.
Zoe told The Hollywood Reporter: "The phone has become a conversation with the 10-year-olds right now.
"And we're okay with repeating the big sermon: 'You will have it eventually, but right now, everything that you may need that comes from a phone, we can provide'.
"My kids right now, they're going through a period where, yes, they'll talk about it, but when we do give them the phone, they just want to look at their baby pictures."
Zoe - who stars in new advertising campaign for T-Mobile - went on to admit she isn't great with technology herself and only cares about whether a phone has a good camera.
She added: "My husband is a lot more [tech] savvy than I am, and my sister is too ... Honestly, I'm boring!
"But I love when my phones have a good camera because I am all about capturing moments in my life. In the commercial, I kept talking about the iPhone 16, and they were super kind enough to give me a phone.
"So I told them, I don't know the difference between any of 'em, but I do want you guys to get me the one that has the best camera."
It comes after Zoe recently revealed she's glad the Hollywood awards season is over so she can spent more time with her young family.
She was a regular on the red carpet at the star of the year as she promoted her movie 'Emilia Perez' and she went on to win the Best Actress in a Supporting Role Oscar for the part, but Zoe admitted she wanted some time off at the end of the run.
Zoe told E! News: "I would like to take my kids to school and pick them up. And I would want them to finish this school year with their mama by their side because they are so resilient, and they have been backing me up along with my husband this entire campaign.
"But I miss my children like I miss air, like I miss water, and I just can't wait to come to school.'

Jennifer Aniston is 'always hard working' when it comes to her fitness routine
Jennifer Aniston is "always hard working" when it comes to her fitness routine. The 56-year-old actress often posts social media updates showcasing her workouts, and now her personal trainer Dani Coleman has revealed the Hollywood star's preferred way of moving through the Pvolve method. She told E! News: "She really trains in all three of our signature formats: Strength Sculpt, Progressive Weight Training class and Sculpt and Burn. "So, your strength, your mobility, as well as your cardiovascular health—she trains in it all, Keeping her practice has been truly incredible to witness firsthand. "Anything that can challenge Jen's core is probably like one of my favourite things to try to do with her. Because she's so strong and so finding new ways to challenge her with the Pvolve method has been so fun as a trainer. "I haven't given her anything yet that she said 'no' to. I'd say she is always hard working, always keeping me laughing with her humor, and it's a lot of fun. It's really a dream come true." Jennifer - who shot to fame alongside Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry in the classic 1990s sitcom 'Friends' - previously revealed she would be keen for her former co-stars to take up the method that combines low-impact functional fitness with resistance-based equipment. She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "It's like I found a precious stone of some sort. It's just changed my whole outlook on working out. It's something I look forward to. I'm still trying to get Courteney to take a class with me, but I'm working on her. Lisa's working so often [that] I can barely get her in Los Angeles." But the 'Morning Show' star insisted that her new exercise regime is not a "fad" and claimed that it goes back to the age-old principle of "calories in and calories out". She said: "Fads are what they are - they're just fads. They come and they go, and it's not very science-based or backed by much. When I was in my 20s, was there a grapefruit diet for a second there? Sure. I remember doing that. I also remember doing Nutrisystem... Things like that just aren't sustainable. "Calories in, calories out. You put good, healthy vegetables, organic foods in your body, your body is gonna thrive on it. Put crap in your body, and your body's gonna show that. "Your body is just a reflection of everything that you do. It's about maintaining a balance. "Eighty percent straight as an arrow, doing all that we're supposed to do, and then give yourself 20 percent of fun. "That's like, let's go out with the girls and get Mexican food, margaritas. Let's have a pizza party. Let's barbeque burgers and fries, hot dogs, by the pool. It's indulging and enjoying yourself and maybe saying, 'I'm not gonna work out today

Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki join Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sequel
Scott Caan and Elizabeth Debicki have joined the cast of the new 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' movie. The pair will join Brad Pitt in David Fincher's follow-up to Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film, which starred Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it is unclear who Caan and Debicki will play in the upcoming movie. The story is said to feature two key female roles, 'one who runs a bar and mud wrestling establishment and one a trophy wife' but it has not been revealed if Debicki will play once of these or an entirely new part. It will be a reunion for Pitt and Caan, who previously worked together on the 'Ocean's' movie series. Brad, 61, will reprise his role as stuntman Cliff Booth, in the upcoming film, which Fincher will direct for Netflix from a Tarantino script. It's said that Tarantino retains the rights to the characters in 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood', while Sony - which financed and released the movie - retains the film itself, which is why the upcoming project is not seen as a sequel or prequel despite using the Booth character. It's unclear if Leonardo DiCaprio will return as Western TV star Rick Dalton. Tarantino won't be at the helm, which means the film won't count as his 10th and final film. The director had had been set to reunite with Pitt - who also appeared in 'Inglourious Basterds in 2009 - for third collaboration on 'The Movie Critic. According to Deadline, Tarantino has "simply changed his mind" after delaying production to rewrite the script. Now, he's expected to go back to the drawing board in a bid to find a firm idea for what will be his final film.
