Diane Kruger looks super sweet and innocent, but apparently you should think twice if you try to argue with her. The Inglourious Basterds star confessed she has come close to being arrested more than once because she gets so argumentative when faced with authority.
She said: “I have a real problem with authority. I’ve nearly been arrested so many times. Airports are the worst – you go through security, you only have one item, one tube and they tell you to put it in a plastic bag. I’m like, ‘But it’s one f***ing item! A plastic bag isn’t going to make it any more secure.’ ”
The 33-year-old German actress, who had a strict religious upbringing, believes the problem stems from her youth when she was an “angry child” who despised school. She added to Britain’s Marie Claire magazine:
“I was always arguing. Unless someone could explain and it made sense to me I just couldn’t accept things. I think everybody has childhood problems, issues, whatever. I was angry when I was a teenager. I just really hated school and the Catholic bit was part of that. Just the suppression and everything being so proper.”
Former model Diane struggled to find an outlet for her anger, so focused all her passions on ballet as a way of exorcising her frustrations.
She explained: “I didn’t see myself as an academic. I wasn’t happy so I loved to be able to express my anxiety or passion or whatever you feel by dancing.”

Over the next few days I am going to work at getting the gallery up-to-date and more extensive. Thank you for visiting and supporting the site!

Eli Roth has claimed that Inglorious Basterds has a “strong shot” at winning a best picture Oscar. The director/actor has said that Quentin Tarantino’s WWII film is likely to win the evening’s biggest award because it was “so critically acclaimed and so well-received by fans”.
Speaking to Paste, the 37-year-old said:
“People are saying that we have a very strong shot. You can’t judge it by the Golden Globes and all this other stuff. These are the voters – the 700 voters, or however many there are, and a lot of them love the movie. Look, I think there are a lot of great pictures: Avatar, Hurt Locker, Precious. It’s incredible company to be in. And what’s really cool is to watch how Quentin is so happy to be there at the party. And he loves these other directors, so it’s really fun.”
Roth continued:
“After the SAG Awards, [Precious director] Lee Daniels came out with us and hung out. We’re always at the table next to Precious and Avatar and everyone’s friendly with each other and very excited for each other. I’m just so happy for Quentin and for Christoph Waltz and everybody.” He added: “It would be amazing if it won best picture, but the truth is, this is more than any of us ever hoped for, the fact that it’s Quentin’s highest-grossing movie, that it was so critically acclaimed and so well-received by fans, that we won the SAG Awards and Critics’ Choice. It’s beyond our wildest imaginations.”
Inglorious Basterds is nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best director and best original screenplay. The 2010 Oscars will be broadcast live on Sunday, March 7. (Source)

About Inglourious Basterds:
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is currently nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor.
In the first year of the German occupation of France, Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish American soldiers to perform swift, shocking acts of retribution. Later known to their enemy as “the basterds,” Raine’s squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquis, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own…. Employing pulp and propaganda in equal measure, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds weaves together the infamous, oppressed, real and larger-than-life stories of WWII.
