Bonnie and Clyde’ director Arthur Penn dies at 88

Bonnie and Clyde’ director Arthur Penn dies at 88

Director Arthur Penn has died, a day after his 88th birthday. The legendary director’s daughter Mollu Penn confirmed that the legendary director, who was best known for making ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ and ‘Little Big Man’, died at his Manhattan home of congestive heart failure, reports the BBC.


Penn made his name directing Tony-award winning Broadway shows such as ‘The Miracle Worker’ and ‘All the Way Home’. He began to carve out a career in film in the 1960s with his work, which was inspired by the decade's political and social upheaval.


But it was the 1967 hit movie ‘Bonnie and Clyde’, based on true story of famed outlaws, which he will mostly be remembered for. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best director and Estelle Parsons won the prize for best supporting actress. A memorial service has been planned for the filmmaker before the end of the year.

Supermodel Heidi Klum quits Victoria's Secret

Supermodel Heidi Klum quits Victoria's Secret

Supermodel Heidi Klum has walked her last runway for lingerie giant Victoria's Secret - she has quit the brand after 13 years.


The German beauty started modelling for the company in the late '90s, becoming 'Head Angel' in 2002, and has been a regular fixture of the underwear firm's campaigns and popular catwalk events.


She stole the show at last year's fashion bash when she strode out wearing revealing lingerie just five weeks after giving birth to baby Lou.


But Klum has decided to leave Victoria's Secret behind and handed in her resignation to bosses.


She says, "All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria's Secret. It has been an absolutely amazing time."

Madonna prowls around with eye-popping cleavage on show in Dolce&Gabanna advert

Madonna prowls around with eye-popping cleavage on show in Dolce&Gabanna advert

Just in case anyone needed reminding, Madonna has once again set out to prove she's not letting age change her ways.


The 52-year-old has posed for yet another racy Dolce&Gabanna advert, this time while wearing an incredibly low-cut black body suit and hold-up stockings.


Accessorised with sunglasses, a crucifix and a red string Kabbalah bracelet, she prowls around an unmade bed with her cleavage threatening to spill out of her lingerie.


In another frame, she reclines on white sheets accompanied by a black and white cat.


Madonna struck up a friendship with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana while she was filming Dick Tracy in the early Nineties and they were invited to designer her costumes for The Girlie Show tour in 1993.


The Italian designer duo announced their new collaboration with Madonna last year, which came after she spent her birthday with the pair on-board this yacht in Italy last August.


They said at the time: 'To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true.'


Madonna has since launched a fashion label of her own with her teen daughter Lourdes called Material Girl.


Meanwhile, there are mounting rumours Madonna will be performing on the X Factor's first live broadcast on October 9.


The show is already renowned for drawing in some of the biggest names in the music business, with past performers including Beyonce, who dueted with 2008 winner Alexandra Burke on the programme.


A source told the Daily Mirror that she has verbally agreed to appear on the show, saying: 'Madonna would be perfect to kick-off the last stage of the competition.'

Has Samantha Fox lost her curves

Has Samantha Fox lost her curves

Ms Fox, well known for her yummylicious body, had everyone asking, “Where have your curves gone, Samantha? She showed off a very slight frame as she left a TV appearance.

We all remember her for her curvy figure and an impressive bosom that became her bread and butter when she shot to fame as a young girl.


But Samantha Fox looked a shadow of her former self as she left a television studio looking a lot skinnier than in recent years.


The former topless model was snapped leaving the ITV studios in London yesterday having been a guest on the daily chat show, Loose Women. And she looked very tiny, her former curves almost non-existent as she posed for photographers outside the studios.


Although she was wearing black, which is known to be a slimming colour, her face looked very gaunt, and the tiredness around her eyes all too clear to see.


C’mon Sammy. Don’t be this way. We want the curvy Touch Me (I Want Your Body) star back again!

Lip Service - Racy lesbian show on BBC

Lip Service - Racy lesbian show on BBC

Its hot and its got a whole lot of girl on girl action but the new racy drama on BBC has come under fire for its graphic lesbian content.

Lip Service, which will broadcast on BBC Three next month, has already set tongues wagging thanks to its sexplicit girl-on-girl bedroom scenes.

The controversial series stars `Vanilla Sky` star Laura Fraser and former `Hollyoaks` beauty Roxanne McKee.

"Lip Service has the same buzz as Queer As Folk but might prove too edgy. There are a lot of naked sex scenes between women. Bosses think it`s too explicit for BBC1 - so they`re starting it on Three," News of the World quoted an insider as saying.

"Is this an attempt by the BBC to try and gain ratings?" added the insider.

Talking about an orgasm she has in a lesbian scene, Roxanne said: "It turns into a When Harry Met Sally moment. I was encouraged to make it a lot louder than it would ever be in real life."

All we can ask is, “when does it come on?”

Lindsay Lohan to wear SCRAM bracelet after jail release

Lindsay Lohan to wear SCRAM bracelet after jail release

Lindsay Lohan, who is expected to be released from jail soon following bail, will have to get a SCRAM bracelet within 24 hours. And under the terms of her bail, she is not allowed to be around known drug users and must submit to search by law enforcement at any time, reports TMZ.


Also, nightclubs will be a major no-no. The actress has to stay out of places where alcohol is the "chief item of sale." Lohan will be a free woman soon, because a judge has just reversed Judge Elden Fox''s decision and has granted her bail. Lindsay may soon be a free woman after a judge agreed with her lawyer that the star is entitled to bail.




A Los Angeles judge, on Friday afternoon, overturned a ruling to deny the actress bail after Lohan was ordered into custody at a Lynwood, Calif., jail. "An order has been signed by Judge Patricia Schnegg granting writ of habeas corpus," People mag quoted court spokesman Allan Parachini as saying. "Bail has been set at 300,000 dollars, " Parachini added.


Habeas corpus refers to the release of an inmate due to unlawful detention. However, Judge Schnegg ruled that Lohan must be fitted with a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring device within 24 hours if she posts bail. She faces a probation violation hearing on Oct. 22.

When Aniston got a letter from Jolie

When Aniston got a letter from Jolie

Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston was shocked when she once received a letter from actress Angelina Jolie. According to reports, Jolie, who raises six children with Aniston’s ex-husband Brad Pitt, decided to reach out to her in an attempt to put an end to their long-running feud.


"Angelina doesn’t want any more bad energy in her life and she hates the hostility that exists between her and Jen," showbizspy.co.uk quoted a source as saying.


"It’s taken her a very long time to work up the courage, but she’s coming from a good place and genuinely wants to put the past behind them," the source said.


"It may seem crazy, but for those of us who actually know Angelina, it really isn’t all that surprising. She’s an unpredictable character, so for her to reach out to Jen like this is just the sort of behavior she’s known for."


"In the note, Angie tells Jen that she would make a wonderful mother and that she’s at the perfect age and time of her life to have her first child. What’s more, Brad is fully behind her. He’s so proud of Angie for reaching out to Jen," the source added.


The source further said that when Aniston opened Jolie's note, she was "beyond shocked. I think she suspected at first that it must have been sent as some kind of a prank."


"Still, when Jen realised Angie’s letter was sincere and genuine, she actually went from shocked to being impressed. Being a mature person, Jen must have recognized how much of an effort it was on Angie’s part to have gone through with the letter," the source added.

Beckham wages legal war against threesome claims

David Beckham has slammed a hooker's claim that the footie ace had a threesome with her and another vice girl, saying that it was all a ridiculous smear. In fact, the former England captain has hired some of the world's top lawyers to fight the allegations, which are spreading like wild fire among media circles.
Beckham has branded them "wholly unfounded" and "a series of malicious lies".


"This is an absolute stitch-up job. David has been set up and we believe it may be a malicious attempt to discredit him,” the Sun quoted a friend as saying.


Becks launched the legal battle after brunette prostitute Irma Nici, 26, claimed he paid her 3,200 pounds in cash to have unprotected sex at New York's Le Parker Meridien hotel in August 2007.


Bosnian-born Irma said they were later joined by another hooker.


She claimed dad-of-three Becks, 35, paid 1,500 pounds to watch a lesbian romp before having sex with the second girl, described as a "curvy brunette".


After the other hooker left, Irma said, the LA Galaxy player gave her another 3,200 pounds to stay the night.


She claimed she met Beckham again a month later at Claridge's Hotel in London.


She said he again paid her 3,200 pounds for sex but was "sad" at the time because his father had suffered a heart attack.


Irma's story was splashed across America's In Touch Weekly lifestyle magazine.


And Becks has instructed his legal team to wage war on the magazine to clear his name.


“If this magazine and this woman think they can get away with smearing David, then they've got another thing coming,” said Beckham’s friend.


“They have created a complete falsehood using a handful of facts in an attempt to give the claims a semblance of truth.


“He was in New York at the time this woman suggests but any Tom, Dick or Harry could find that out on the Internet.


“He wasn't even staying at the hotel she has suggested. He was at the Waldorf Astoria.


“David and Victoria are very calm about this nonsense. They cannot believe a magazine like In Touch would print such a pack of lies. They will be fighting it tooth and nail,” added the pal.


Top US trial lawyer Bert Deixler - honoured for a string of landmark Supreme Court victories - has been hired to tackle the magazine.


Gerrard Tyrrell, senior partner at London media lawyers Harbottle and Lewis, will try to protect Beckham's UK interests.


And a team of German legal eagles are being instructed to take on Bauer for allowing the claims to be published "without proof".

Lindsay Lohan may skate on failed drug test

Lindsay Lohan may skate on failed drug test

The LA County Probation Department will only be recommending jail time for one of Lindsay Lohan's failed drug tests, according to sources. The actress will most likely skate on the positive test for amphetamines, now revealed to be Adderall, due to a paperwork ambiguity, reports TMZ.com

The Probation Department is recommending 30 days jail time for the first failed drug test which showed a positive reading for cocaine. Judge Elden Fox has a couple of options on Friday. He could sentence Lindsay on the spot to 30 days in jail for the cocaine violation but because of overcrowding Lindsay would be released the same day.


Judge Fox's other option is to deny her bail, throw her in jail and set a hearing that would take place 30 days later. Under this scenario, Lindsay would not be released early she'd sit in jail for 30 days until her hearing. According to sources, judges do this 'all the time' when they want to make sure a defendant does the time.

Kate Moss reveals her pals slap the diva out of her

Supermodel Kate Moss has revealed that her pals slap her to keep her grounded. In an interview at London Fashion Week, her pals give her a wallop when she's getting too big for her boots.

"I've got good friends, they give me a bit of a slap. (They say) Stop being a diva! (And then) Slap," the Sun quoted her as saying.


The catwalk queen, who attended the Longchamp party with mother Linda, credited the first time she worked for John Galliano as the most memorable moment of her career.

"My first John Galliano shoot was the most poignant," she said.

Beauty queen exposed as sex worker, topless model

A beauty queen has been thrown out of the Miss Great Britain contest after she was found to have posed topless and worked at a massage parlour that offered sex services.

Laura Anness, 27, was crowned Miss Plymouth City recently and was gearing up to participate in November's national beauty pageant.

The Sun reported Thursday that pageant organisers were not aware that she had in 1999 posed topless as a teenager and worked in a massage parlour offering sex services.

Laura, from Saltash, Cornwall, had been stripped of another beauty pageant title contest earlier this year for lying about her age.

She then went on to enter Miss Great Britain, where the rules clearly say that participants must have never posed naked or been involved in prostitution.

"I'm totally shocked," Miss GB organiser Liz Fuller was quoted as saying.

Paris Hilton refused entry in Japan

Socialite Paris Hilton was refused entry into Japan where she was scheduled to promote her fashion range after she admitted of cocaine possession before a Las Vegas court.

The immigration officers refused to let the 29-year-old socialite into the country. She was quizzed at Tokyo's Narita airport for six hours before being placed at the Airport Rest House.

"Paris was contractually bound to her business trip and didn't want to let down her brands and many Asian fans," thesun.co.uk quoted her spokeswoman as saying.

"She is trying hard to do the responsible thing, but this is beyond her control. She is very disappointed," the spokeswoman added.

Just hours before her visit, Hilton appeared in the Las Vegas court and pleaded guilty of possessing cocaine and obstructing a policeman. She was given a 12-month suspended jail term.

Gay Vote disappointed Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is "enormously disappointed" the US government has failed to repeal the military's homophobic 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' legislation.

The eccentric singer - who is a staunch supporter of gay rights - is stunned the policy was not revoked during a vote in the US Senate yesterday (21.09.10). The decision means gay service members will continue to be forced to keep quiet about their sexuality.

Writing on her official website, she said: "Today was an enormous disappointment, for myself, and for many young American people. I will keep fighting, I will not give up.

Instead, it has been customary now for antiquated procedures and partisan politics to take precedence over debate, America's needs, and today over the needs of US troops.

"I am passionate about the rights of the LGBT Community (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) and SLDN (Service Members Legal Defence Network) and I will continue to activate as many young people as I can, and encourage them to get politically involved in their future."

The 'Alejandro' hitmaker also criticised the decision to not let American citizens watch the debate.

She explained: "Legislative procedure is being abused to stop public business, public debates, from happening while America is watching. There was a debate today, we just didn't get to watch it.

"Instead, it has been customary now for antiquated procedures and partisan politics to take precedence over debate, America's needs, and today over the needs of US troops."

Senate Republicans blocked the Democrat bill to lift the controversial policy with a 56-43 vote.

What Was Topless Nicole Richie Celebrating in Cabo?

Paris Hilton was detained in Japan and Lindsay Lohan has a warrant out for her arrest, but life's a beach for their former BFF Nicole Richie.

The hot mama, who turns 30 today, was celebrating South of the Border in a bikini bottom and not much else. She was joined by famous friends Christina Aguilera and Sam Ronson in Cabo, and she may have been celebrating more than just her birthday...

While having dinner at a local restaurant, Nic was spotted wearing a "bride-to-be" sash and necklace adorned with plastic penises.

Was this trip also a bachelorette party?

Nicole's rep didn't respond to our request for comment on what exactly she was celebrating, but either way, happy birthday!

Nice to see the former wild child is staying out of trouble but can still cut loose!

Paris Hilton Pleads Guilty To Drug Possession

So, first Paris Hilton was claiming those drugs which just fell out of a handbag she was holding was 'too cheap' to be something she'd own (but she'd use someone else's lipgloss out of it, obviously) but now it looks as though she's finally admitted to it…

The pink and fluffy princess has pleaded guilty in a Las Vegas court to drug possession and obstructing a public officer after she was pulled over by police in Las Vegas on 27 August this year, and cocaine was found in her handbag. We mean, the handbag that she was holding, the she'd posted a picture of on Twitter, but wasn’t actually hers.

Anyway, she's backtracked on that and as part of a plea deal she has accepted responsibility for the drug offence, and in return she has not received a prison sentence. Lovely.

She will have to fork out $2,000 and carry out 200 hours of community service though, and she was even warned that if she is arrested for anything again she could face up to a year in the Clark County Detention Centre. Yikes.

Let's hope Paris cleaners herself up better than young miss Lohan shall we?

Gwyneth Paltrow to get Glee role

Gwyneth Paltrow is in negotiations to star in 'Glee'.

The Oscar-winning actress is reportedly in talks to star as a potential love interest for teacher Will Schuester - played by Matthew Morrison - in the musical TV show.

According to E! Online, the part was written specifically for the 'Iron Man' actress as she is a close friend of 'Glee' creator Ryan Murphy.

We're going to rock the house. We're going to do some heavy metal - Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst.

If the exciting casting does come to fruition, Gwyneth will play the role of a substitute teacher in two episodes, and will step in to take over the glee club when Mr. Schuester falls ill.

However, Gwyneth's character complicates Mr. Schuester's relationship with quirky guidance counsellor Emma (Jayma Mays) when he starts to fall for her.

Gwyneth - who will have an all-singing, all-dancing role in the show - is not the only Oscar-winning star set to make a guest appearance in season two of the Fox series.

Javier Bardem recently revealed he is set to appear as a rock star who befriends Artie (Kevin McHale).

He said: "We're going to rock the house. We're going to do some heavy metal - Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst."

Elisabeth Moss Files for Divorce From Fred Armisen

"Mad Men" star Elisabeth Moss' split from actor husband Fred Armisen is about to become official. On Monday, September 20, the 28-year-old actress filed for divorce in L.A. Superior Court, Entertainment Tonight confirmed.

In the divorce papers, Moss cited "irreconcilable differences" as the cause of the split and listed June 26 as the date of their separation. The "Get Him to the Greek" actress was also said asking to terminate the court's jurisdiction to award spousal support to Armisen.

On the separation, a source told Us Magazine, "They had issues. Her religion was as important to her as their marriage, if not more. He could not get with it." Meanwhile, another source previously told People that conflicting work schedules and long-distance relationship were behind the split.

Moss and Armisen have only been married for almost 11 months after tying the knot on October 25, 2009. Less than a week after their split made headline, Armisen was romantically linked to his "Saturday Night Live" co-star Abby Elliott after the two were spotted getting cozy at Reservoir restaurant in Los Angeles back in August.

Karissa Shannon seals sex tape deal with hard cash

Karissa Shannon and her boyfriend Sam Jones have finally given green signal to release their sex tape, but in exchange of hard cash. Sources close to the couple said that both the stars agreed to a deal with Vivid Entertainment when the offer hit the six-figure range.

The president of Vivid, Steven Hirsch feels that the sex tape of former Playboy Playmate and the Smallville actor will be all-time best sellers.


"We are excited to finally distribute this amazing DVD. Not only is it extremely kinky for a celeb sex tape, Karissa is absolutely beautiful. And as for Sam, let's just say he's no Smallville. This is sure to be one of our all-time best sellers," TMZ quoted Hirsch as saying.

Kardashians Hit With Lawsuit

The KARDASHIAN sisters have been targeted in a bizarre lawsuit from a prisoner in Pennsylvania who claims he suffered "extreme emotional distress" from watching KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS behind bars.

D.J. Goodson alleges he was forced to watch the show, as well as Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, while serving time in Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.

He claims Kourtney, Kim and Khloe made him develop "extreme emotional distress due to their outrageousness of actions", according to papers obtained by TMZ.com.

Goodson is demanding $75,000 (£50,000) in damages.

Failed drug test lindsay lohan jailed again

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly facing a 30-day jail sentence after failing in her latest drug test ordered by the court.

The "Mean Girls" star is trying to rebuild her reputation after serving time behind bars and in rehab following a probation violation issue earlier this year, stemming from her 2007 driving under influence (DUI) arrest.

But the 24-year-old, who was treated by addiction specialists for her prescription drug use, could find herself incarcerated once more after a drug test taken "in recent days" came back positive, reports contactmusic.com.

According to a source, the drug in question was cocaine and if the claims are true, she will face 30 days in jail.

"People with addiction problems don't get better magically, and she's really been making an effort to make herself better," said an insider.

However, Lohan will have to wait to hear the final verdict. Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles district attorney's office, who is handling her case, has yet to be "officially notified" of the test results.

Lohan is currently undergoing intense outpatient treatment following her release from rehab last month. As part of her punishment, the embattled star is subjected to random drug testing twice a week.

However, the actress' representative is yet to respond to the failed drug test reports.

Ameesha Patel is very upset with Sonakshi and her mom

Ameesha Patel and the Dutts -- Sanjay and Maanayata -- are upset that a family close to them didn't even respond to their invite

Sanjay and Maanayata Dutt and their baby shower organiser Ameesha Patel are miffed that Punam Sinha and her daughter Sonakshi didn't care to respond to their invite for the event.

Says an invitee, "It was a guest list drawn up by Maana and Ameesha, who was personally calling and messaging people. As the Sinhas have always been very close to the Dutts, they were invited too. The Sinha patriarch, Shatrughan has been part of almost every social event of the Dutts."

But, adds the source, even the ladies who were out of town at the time (like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Natasha Fardeen Khan) or unwell (Kirron Kher was down with conjunctivitis) cited their inability to attend, but the Sinha maa-beti didn't.

"Punam didn't pick up Ameesha's call, neither did she reply to her messages. Ms Patel was very upset and the Dutts felt hurt too but preferred to keep quiet about it. Ameesha even told Maana that she wouldn't have called the Sinha ladies had she known they'd snub her."

The source feels that since Sonakshi has become part of Salman Khan's inner circle of friends, she has developed an attitude."

And Punam is a star mother, now that Dabangg is a big hit. Sonakshi wasn't in town as she was in Norway promoting Dabangg with Salman on September 13. Punam could have at least told Maanayata that Sonakshi and she weren't coming, no?"

Says Punam, "So what if I couldn't call or message back? My sister, a cancer patient for eight years, suddenly had to be admitted to hospital last week. She is my priority. I couldn't even attend Sonakshi's Dabangg events."

Poonam adds, "I have been in the hospital for the last few days and it's impossible to even think of calling or messaging people from there. I have far more important stuff going on in my life.

Please understand my frame of mind and what I am going through. Even now I am sitting with my sister at home after she was discharged a day ago.

Sanju and Maana are very close to us and will always be. I hope they understand my situation..."

Coco Austin shows off her famous posterior

Actress/dancer Nicole ‘Coco’ Austin has been pictured showing off her famous butt in a see though dress at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City. Coco, 31, wore a tight blue dress with sheer panelling around the back that had been designed by new designer duo Sachika, and a pair of gold Christian Louboutin heels.

As she walked down the catwalk at Style360’s Metropolitan Pavilion it looked like she was wearing a regular bodycon dress, but when she turned, guests got a full view of her derriere through the pink sheer panelling on the back. The model commented about the dress on Twitter after she went in for a fitting. “Had a fitting... Dress is hot,” the Daily Telegraph quoted her as writing.

Heidi Montag's boob comes out of bikini in Costa Rica

Former Hills star Heidi Montag looked vaguely horrified when one of her pneumatic breasts nearly escaped from her top as she splashed around in the Costa Rican surf. The 25-year-old star frantically tried to keep things covered up when the bikini malfunction occurred, reports the Daily Mail.

Fortunately, she recovered enough to walk down the beach displaying her surgically enhanced figure in blue bikini top and red patterned bottoms with no further mishaps. The slip up may have given Montag more reason to regret having made her breasts so big - she recently confessed she is already thinking of having her G cups reduced.

3D Wonderbra ad distracting drivers

A 3D advertisement by bra company Wonderbra, which features a well-enhanced woman’s cleavage, is being considered a road safety hazard, as it can be distracting for drivers.

The poster, which has been erected near London Waterloo station to promote the company’s new 28 pounds Full Effect brassiere, could cause accidents, warns the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM).

Wonderbra had caused a quite a stir when, 16 years ago, they revealed a poster of Czech model Eva Herzigova in a Wonderbra, gazing down at her breasts with the caption “Hello Boys”.

And even though the poster was voted No10 in a ‘Poster of the Century’ contest, the picture of Herzigova’s pushed-up assets was blamed for dozens of road accidents.

Vince Yearley, a spokesman for IAM, said that the latest poster for Full Effect, ‘Wonderbra’s best cleavage enhancer to date’, which is 20ft wide and stars Brazilian model Sabraine Banado, could be more of a distraction.

“I remember that Herzigova picture very well - I was working at the Department for Transport at the time,” the Daily Mail quoted Yearley as saying.

“In many ways this latest one could be more dangerous, as it’s 3D.

“For those motorists who don’t happen to have 3D glasses in their car - and most don’t - then as the image is slightly blurred, it will cause you to want to focus on it even more.

“I think it will be a distraction for men and women on the road. And you just need to lose concentration briefly while on the road and an accident could happen,” he stated.

Road Safety Minister Mike Penning said that road safety was a top priority and the Highway Code is clear that safe driving needs concentration and motorists must be in proper control of their vehicle at all times.

A spokeswoman for The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents added that while there is no concern with the advert so far, they would however be interested in knowing if it has caused any road accidents.

“As an iconic lingerie brand the 3D billboard is the perfect way to launch the campaign for our new bra, it brings to life the product’s benefits in a bold and exciting way,” Julia Nolan from Wonderbra said of the campaign.

Pop singer Katy perry wants Rihanna to strip

Pop singer Katy Perry has revealed that she wants pal Rihanna to strip at her bachelorette party.

Perry, who is set to tie the knot with British funnyman Russell Brand, has given the responsibility of organizing a pre-wedding party to Rihanna.

“Rihanna has all these ideas about everything. You see people coming and they strip at your bachelor party but I want her to strip at my bachelorette party. She’s going to get the message right now. She’s hot, I love her. She’s just the coolest chick and I want all of her clothes. We have a lot in common. We like to hang out every once in awhile; sometimes we’ll see each other at different events,” the Daily Telegraph quoted Perry as saying.

“I don’t know if she started this rumour that she’s going to do it (the bachelorette party) or if she just hopped on the bandwagon of the rumors like, ‘I’m going to do it!’ That’s the one thing that I don’t have to plan, which I’m really excited about,” Perry added.

Pregnant Lily Allen Living in Fear

Pop star Lily Allen has revealed she's living in fear of miscarrying her baby with boyfriend Sam Cooper after losing her first child at the beginning of 2008.

The Smile singer admits her pregnancy has not been joyful so far - because she's haunted by her former baby tragedy. And she reveals her second pregnancy has been "really difficult".

Allen tells Britain's Sunday Times, "I came off the pill and, weirdly, a week later it happened. But then it was really difficult, I had complications.

Allen, the daughter of actor Keith Allen and screenwriter Alison Owen, explains, It's not that I didn't enjoy my childhood, because I did, but I suppose I was always quite fascinated by how a normal family would operate

"I had about a week and a half of really heavy bleeding and had to havelots of scans... I've been living in fear for the past three months".

But that hasn't put her off her motherhood dreams "I've probably been saying it since I was seven". The singer plans to retire from the music industry to concentrate on motherhood - and she's desperate to give her child the "normal" family upbringing she once craved.

Allen, the daughter of actor Keith Allen and screenwriter Alison Owen, explains, "It's not that I didn't enjoy my childhood, because I did, but I suppose I was always quite fascinated by how a normal family would operate.

"Everyone I knew when I was growing up came from divorced parents. I doremember when I had my first proper boyfriend at 16, going to his parents' house in Ireland and we all sat round had dinner together and I was really overwhelmed by the whole thing".

Angelina Jolie only has few friends

Angelina Jolie "doesn't have many friends" so relies on her partner Brad Pitt when she wants to talk.

The actress is currently in Pakistan, having travelled to the country to help raise money following the devastating floods in the country.

Angelina is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, and was keen to help those left homeless by the natural disaster.

The star gave a satellite interview to CNN to discuss the role, in which she admitted it can be a lonely one. Angelina raises six kids with Brad, and hates being away from her family for long periods of time.

"I'll talk to my family," she replied, when asked how she copes with the solitude. "I talk to Brad, he wants to know as much as he can about these issues and every trip. He's been here as well; he came with me after the earthquake. But I don't know, I don't have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to."

Although she misses them, Angelina explained her kids are well aware of why she has gone away. She ensures they always understand why she is going to other countries to help, and hopes that gives them global awareness. Three of the children are adopted, and both Brad and Angelina are adamant they must learn about their homelands.

"I tell my children why I'm going and I explain to them why I was packing flashlights and food. They help me pack some things," she explained to interviewer Sanjay Gupta.

"My children are from a lot of these countries, so I want them to understand what's happening in Africa, the boys to understand what's happening if there's something current in their countries, and for all of them to know about each other's countries as well."

Angelina's nine-year-old son Maddox is from Cambodia, Pax, six, comes from Vietnam and five-year-old Zahara was born in Ethiopia. Her other kids are Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Subhash K. Jha takes a critical look at Dabangg

So here it is. A new genre of cinema. The Spaghetti Eastern. The velocity is virulent. The violence is relentless. The narrative doesn't pause for action. It is between bouts of the violence that characters take a breather to say things to one another that they don't really mean.

This is Dabangg. A world swarming with uni-dimensional characters who seem to know exactly which way the fists fly. We certainly don't. The comic book hero Chulbul Pandey, played with lip smacking pleasure by Salman Khan, shows up in every dingy warehouse in this mofussil town to settle scores, man to man.

Dabangg is the kind of old-fashioned family drama combined with a vendetta saga that we thought had gone out of fashion in the 1980s. Chulbul Pandey could have been played by Amitabh Bachchan 30 years ago. Yes, that killing comic dimension that Salman brings into his characters has its roots in the Big B's action-comedy films.

And Dimple Kapadia, wheezing, coughing, groaning and ranting her way through the mother's role (what got into Dimple???) hams her way through this action drama where being opulently outrageous comes naturally to everyone.

But all said and damned, there is something to be said about Salman's Chulbul Pandey's ability to be cartoonish, caricutural and larger than life and yet warm and very real in his tongue-in-cheek bravura.

Some of the less over-punctuated moments in this film of ceaseless bone-crunching sound-effects occur each time Chulbul woos his bulbul Rajjo (debutant Sonakshi Sinha). Each time she passes by, Salman becomes putty in her hands. The debutante has eyes that plead for peace. But who's listening? The raucous riotous soundtrack is slave only to the rhythm of blood gore and screams of innumerable goons crashing through wooden supports that have seen better days.

The action sequences are the backbone of this bone-breaking actioner. The stunts are done in an enticing mix of masti and mayhem. The crusted dusty-brown unwashed ambience is created with care. But the plot is almost completely free of delicate moments.

Dabangg is Ram Gopal Varma's Shool on steroids. In Shool, Manoj Bajpayee was the honest cop on a cleansing spree in a Bihari backwater town. In Dabangg, Salman takes on the mofussil mafia with much more humour than Bajpayee could muster.

It is the need of the hour. We have to laugh away the corruption and violence all around us. Salman does a splendid job of it. It's hard to tell where debutant director Abhinav Kashyap's abilities end and the action director Vijayan Master's begin. That seamless quality goes well with this unpunctuated tribute to the spirit of free-for-all one-upmanship.

An ear-catching music score by Sajid-Wajid does diminish the level of violence in the presentation. Sonakshi Sinha uses her eyes beautifully. And the song ‘Tere Mast Mast Do Nain' describes her eloquent expressions well.

But this is a Salman Khan vehicle all the way. He gets to be funny sassy wicked and belligerent...sometimes all at once. Sonu Sood as the main antagonist brings an in-your-face menace to his villainy.

He is in character. Though Salman slips out of character quite often...And quite happily.

Gemma Arterton named woman of the year at GQ awards

British Actress Gemma Arterton has been named woman of the year at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, which was held at the Royal Opera House
in London. The Kinks star Ray Davis received the outstanding achievement prize, while Damon Albarn's cartoon group Gorillaz were named best band. Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher was at the ceremony, and admitted Damon - who was historically his bitter rival due to Oasis' feud with Blur in the 90s - was worthy of the recognition.

"Gorillaz definitely deserve some kind of award - if only for having 104 people on stage at Glastonbury. What a rider that must''ve been to organise - more complicated than a Big Brother shopping list!" Stuff.co.nz quoted Noel as joking, referring to Gorillaz' performance at the Glastonbury music festival this year, where they were joined on stage by several special guests.


UK Prime Minister David Cameron received the best politician award, and took the opportunity to joke with the crowd. He poked fun at England soccer player Wayne Rooney, who took to the pitch for his country last night amid allegations he cheated on his wife with a prostitute while she was pregnant.

"I can bring you the news that Wayne Rooney has scored - this time it was on the pitch, in the opposition's goal and actually playing for his country," David said.

Other winners included Mad Men actor Jon Hamm who was named best international man, Giorgio Armani who received the designer prize and Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick who got the breakthrough talent accolade.

Emma Watson slams 'Twilight' series for 'selling sex'

'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson has apparently slammed the popular 'Twilight' series for selling sex. The 22-year-old actress, who reprises her role as Hermione in the upcoming 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part I, condemned the rival franchise during a conference call with journalists.

"This kiss between Hermione and Ron [Weasley played by co-star Rupert Grint] is highly anticipated, it's been building up for eight films now," the New York Daily News quoted her as telling OK Magazine. "And Harry Potter is not 'Twilight,' you know'. We're not selling sex," she added.


Watson had been addressing the long-gestating romance between Hermione and Ron, leading up to a kiss. Although it is a fan favourite from the book, Watson admitted it was uncomfortable for her and Grint to shoot. "In fact, it was horribly awkward; we couldn't stop laughing," she said.

Kendra wants to bite Beyonce's butt

Kendra Wilkinson is a hot siren herself, but can’t stop gushing about her favourites in Hollywood – especially Beyonce Knowles' derriere, which she likes so much that she would like to bite it.

The former Playboy Playmate couldn’t stop praising Scarlett Johansson and Beyoncé at Svedka's BartonBotCamp at David Barton Gym, reports The New York Post.

Wilkerson said that she loves Johansson's legs and lips because she has sexiness without trying.

And she finds Beyoncé's butt so nice that she 'wants to just bite it!' Her own body, however, is reserved for Philadelphia Eagle Hank Baskett and she's nicknamed her legs 'Hank's happy trail.'

TOP MODEL OF COLOUR - FINAL HEAT - CRYSTAL CELEBRITY REVIEW

Top Model of Colour UK (TMC) is an annual modelling competition in the UK and it is now in its 5^th year. TMC is owned and run by Mahogany Model Management founder Sola Oyebade, and is a great platform for models of colour in the UK to gain some extra exposure. They get the chance to be critiqued by a panel of professionals from the fashion and modelling industries, not to mention the chance to shoot, shine and hit the catwalk!

Sola Oyebade is very passionate about models of colour and their potential to be recognised as top models in the fashion industry. Over the years I have seen him go from strength to strength to build a great platform for models of all races and to make their potential in the fashion industry clear for all to see. Indeed, Mahogany Model Management were actually the first agency in the UK to represent ME myself and I! And they really were a great help and a blessing to be with.

I happily snapped up my press passes and headed down to the event in Shepherd’s Bush, with great anticipation of the show ahead.

The whole night was a pleasure to attend! From the lively presenters to the fabulous model hopefuls on stage, to the judging panel at the end of the runway.

The whole atmosphere was very positive and inspiring and it felt great to be surrounded by some many beautiful people of colour! Black, white, Latina and mixed, everyone came out to celebrate TMC and that is what it was all about – seeing the beauty in all of us and showing our support to the ladies and gents onstage, each of them representing a unique beauty of their own.

My very exotic looking outfit on the night was supplied by Akua Asare from the online fashion outlet www.Shimi Rose.co.uk

Here is a summary of my highlights and favourites on the evening

Working with Mahogany Model Management (MMM) has led me to many great things and I recommend them to models of colour who are trying to get into the fashion and beauty industries as they take beginners as well as experienced models. To name a few MMM handled my appearance in the Mahogany Bridal Show (my first ever runway show), a front cover and 3 page spread in B-Magazine, and appearing as a runway model at the Glamour Show in Earls Court, London.
