	Pine reprises his role in the upcoming "Star Trek Into Darkness", alongside fellow returning stars Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg and John Cho.

Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has revealed that she used to buy her clothes from charity shops.
	The 25-year-old said that was the only thing she could afford and she enjoyed finding bargains, reported Digital Spy.
	"British girls love a good vintage find. Before I was modelling that's what I could afford. I would go through charity shops to find things. I love how it tells a story. You look at these exquisite pieces like art and wonder where this was or who was in this 50, 60 years ago. It's very romantic," she said.
	Whiteley also discussed the lingerie collection she has designed for Marks & Spencer.
	"It's been exciting and fulfilling - much more than I thought. I'd always wanted to design - it's why I got into modelling - but I love going up to the headquarters and learning, learning, learning.
	"I know lingerie because I've worn it professionally for 10 years. I've learnt how women's bodies work, I've learnt how my body works," she added.
