Victoria Beckham lies to her children - by telling them she is still in the Spice Girls.The former pop singer - who is married to Real Madrid footballer David Beckham - has revealed her three sons, Brooklyn, seven, Romeo, four and one-year-old Cruz, had no idea what her job was before becoming a mother so she showed them 'Spice Girls: The Movie'. However, Victoria - better known as Posh Spice - didn't have the heart to tell her children the band no longer existed when they asked her about the group. She revealed in an interview with Britain's Radio 1: "I showed the kids 'Spice Girls: The Movie' the other day, because being in Spain it's all about football and all about daddy, and the kids said, 'Mummy what did you actually do?'"So I put on the movie, and they loved it and it was on heavy rotation. Then one day I had been out to work and when I came home Romeo came running up to me and said, 'Mummy, have you been working with the Spice Girls?'And I couldn't let him down, so I said, 'Yeah, mummy has been working with the Spice Girls'. And he said, 'Have you been driving that bus mummy?' "Despite her white lie, Victoria has ruled out a possible Spice Girls reunion with her former bandmates, Mel C, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell. She explained: "I'm not sure that's going to happen we are all doing our own thing now. I'm not sure if I'm up for jumping around on stage any more, I don't think there will be a reunion."

A source is quoted by website MSNBC as saying: "She waited as long as she did to bury him because she was trying to figure out if she could get his body into the US. "Now that she might get booted out, the word is she's going to take her son's body with her. "Anna Nicole, 38, has had her Bahamian residency challenged after it was revealed that the waterfront mansion she claimed to own actually belongs to someone else and she has been served with a notice of eviction. It is alleged that the former model was hoping to make the Bahamas her permanent home to avoid a paternity test on her newborn daughter Dannielynn. Anna Nicole has named her lawyer, and lover, Howard K. Stern as the father of her daughter but photographer Larry Birkhead claims he is the biological dad and has issued a court order demanding a paternity test. Daniel died in September at Anna Nicole's hospital bedside just hours after she had given birth to his new half-sister. A toxicology report found large amounts of prescription drugs in his blood stream.
Kate Winslet will "knife" anyone who calls her a bad mother. The 'Little Children' actress, who has a five-year-old daughter Mia and two-year-old son Joe, has warned people never to question her parenting skills. Kate threatened in Britain's Culture magazine: "People can throw anything they want at me, and be as mean as they like. But don't mess with me as a mother, because I will get out a knife and come after you! "The 31-year-old star says she felt "vulnerable" when she first became a mum and vehemently denies claims she abandoned her daughter Mia when she divorced her first husband Jim Threapleton. Kate fumed: "There was one article that suggested I wasn't even with my child and that she was with her dad. At that stage it was tough because I was facing the future of being a single mother. I was breast-feeding Mia until she was nine months - she was by my side every minute of every day."It's not fair to make stuff up. It's a very vulnerable time when you're a new parent. I was young - I was 25. When you're as young as that and going through a divorce, all you want to do it clutch your child to your bosom and hope you're doing everything right."Kate is now married to film director Sam Mendes.
'Desperate Housewives' star Marcia Cross is allegedly taking legal action to prevent nude photographs of her from being published. A firm hired to remove garbage from the pregnant star's Los Angeles home found over 200 personal photos of her being thrown out and are now trying to sell them to the highest bidder. The removal firm discovered the pictures when they arrived at the local dump and are now being represented by Phoenix-based agent David Hans Schmidt in their attempt to sell the pictures of flame-haired Cross. Scmidt told the New York Daily News newspaper: "There are some pictures of her showering outside. She looks absolutely gorgeous. And yes, the carpet does match the curtains."The pictures were not stolen. When you throw something away, you forfeit that property."We recognize the copyright issue, but US copyright law stops at the border."I'm not looking to mortify Ms. Cross, I just want the most money for my client."Cross, 44, and her husband Tom Mahoney, 48, are demanding the return of the pictures, their lawyers insist the images were thrown out by accident and the copyright belongs to the couple regardless. Schmidt - who earlier this year acquired the contents of Paris Hilton's public storage locker after she failed to pay the rent - is offering Cross the chance to buy back her photos, just as he did with Paris' locker contents. Schmidt claims to have also seen Cross' tax returns in the rubbish. He said: "I know how much she made, but out of respect for Ms. Cross, I won't discuss it."Cross and Mahoney were married last June. They are expecting twins in April and her pregnancy is to be written into the plot of 'Desperate Housewives'.

Crowe told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper: The idea of doing a Gladiator 2 comes up all the time but we have made it very difficult for ourselves by killing off my character in the first one. We have an idea but it never seems to have sufficient credibility. It just comes back at us and says, Are you kidding? Maybe we are kidding. Maybe we just enjoy talking about it. There have been many rumors about possible plots for Gladiator 2 including a prequel plot line, or a sequel with a descendant of Maximus as the lead character or even Crowe's character coming back as a ghost. Meanwhile, Crowe says he agreed to star in new movie "A Good Year" because it was set in the South of France. Crowe said: I wanted to go to Provence and I wanted to take my family to a location that I knew my wife would enjoy. It just appealed to me.

Donny and Marie Osmond unveiled both of their caricatures at Sardi’s last night. Marie’s caricature, a better likeness, came as a surprise to her and everyone else in the audience including her brother Donny.

Despite the fact that he thought it did not look much like him, he was so pleased and honored to be on the celebrity wall at Sardi’s. Marie Osmond has not accepted work in the past few years because she has been devoting her time to taking care of her sick husband, then her Mom who became ill after which their Dad needed care. All this, and of course her kids.She is no longer the skinny little girl, but Marie still looks great, doesn’t she kiddies ?

Ashton Kutcher has banned wife Demi Moore from speaking to flirtatious former president Bill Clinton. Ashton's anger was ignited after a recent dinner party at which Clinton spent the night charming the 43-year-old actress while ignoring her much-younger husband Ashton, 28."Ashton was angry at being treated that way, and it led to the biggest argument between him and Demi since they married a year ago," said an insider. Ashton told Jay Leno he felt like "the invisible man" when he spoke about the incident on his Sept. 28 appearance on the "Tonight Show.""Bill was so engrossed by Demi...I've never met a president before, but he didn't say a word to me the entire evening," said Ashton. "I was like the guy who wasn't there."But what Ashton DOESN'T know is that this isn't the first time the skirt-chasing ex-prez put the moves on Demi! In 2002, The ENQUIRER exclusively revealed that the two spent a sexy night together laughing and flirting at Hollywood's trendy Ago restaurant."During the evening there were a few times that Bill affectionately rubbed Demi's back as they were talking," a source said at the time. "She didn't back away — she smiled warmly at him as he touched her."But Demi defended herself when Ashton confronted her about the most recent incident, telling him there was "nothing she could have done to have changed the situation without being rude." The ENQUIRER has also learned Ashton wasn't the only angry spouse that evening. Sen. Hillary Clinton was infuriated by her hubby's amorous behavior — especially since she believes another family scandal could hurt her chances of winning if she decides to run for the presidency.

Nicole Richie is getting help because she can't put on weight.The petite 'Simple Life' star has been continually dogged by - but strenuously denied - claims that she suffers from an eating disorder. Her spokeswomen confirmed: "Nicole has decided to undergo diagnostic treatment to determine why she's not been putting on any weight."She is working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition. It is important to Nicole that she achieves this goal in a healthy way as this is not a treatment for an eating disorder."A source close to Nicole, 25, told People magazine: "She's tired of everyone saying you don't eat, because she does."She wants to gain weight. It wasn't anyone saying you have to go do this - it wasn't an intervention. It was her saying I'm tired of people saying this about me, I'm going to go get some tests. It was a personal decision."Earlier this year, Nicole admitted she had problems with her weight but partly blamed it on her split from on-off boyfriend, Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein.

Paris Hilton has been left red-faced after being mistaken for herself. The 'House of Wax' actress and Pamela Anderson were dining at Los Angeles' lavish Koi restaurant last week when another customer approached the heiress and apologetically said: "Don't take this the wrong way, but you look like Paris Hilton. "The New York Daily News newspaper says the embarrassed - and offended - heiress replied: "I am Paris Hilton."The encounter is not Paris' only social snub in recent weeks. She was reportedly been banned from another A-list party. Paris was told not to show up at the week-long Esquire Show House event in Los Angeles because organisers "don't want her type there". That access denial came days after Paris was reportedly barred from a top New York celebrity hangout, the Gramercy Park Hotel. The host apparently told his security team not to let Paris in because "the likes of Paris Hilton and her ilk are not welcome here". Two weeks earlier, Paris was refused entry to Bungalow 8, in New York. She was told by security guards on the door that the club was "full to capacity."

Naomi Campbell has been released without charge after spending 12 hours in police cell over assault allegations.The supermodel - who was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly scratching her drug councillor's face - was found "unfit to face questioning" and has since her release been allowed to travel to Paris. Officers at London's Belgravia police station reportedly suspected the 36-year-old was drunk when they first arrested her and she was placed in the cell to sober up. A police source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "She was animated and abusive. A doctor was called and she was allowed to sleep in the cells. Several times during the evening she was visited and it was clear she was still not in a fit state to be interviewed."The former drug addict was also required to take a narcotics test, which she is believed to have passed. Naomi, 36, was arrested at her London home after her therapist arrived at a police station with her face covered in scratches, claiming Naomi had assaulted her. A spokesman for the supermodel described the incident as a "misunderstanding". Naomi is renowned for her vicious temper. This claim is her ninth alleged assault in eight years.
Madonna has agreed to take her adopted son back to Malawi for regular visits. The 48-year-old singer - who has been granted temporary foster care of 13-month-old David Banda with a view to adopt him - has promised to take him back to his homeland every four years. David's father Yohande Banda told UK news channel ITV yesterday "We made an agreement in court for David to lead a better life, I was happy with that."Every three or four years they will bring him to visit. I'm delighted he's been welcomed into that family."Baby's David's father also urged Madonna not to be put off by the controversy surrounding the adoption or the red tape involved in legalising her guardianship.Yohande said: "My message to Madonna is that she should not be discouraged, be strong. As we agreed and we expect that after three to four years the child shall come back for us to see him."A Malawian court is expected to rule on appeals by 67 human rights groups who claim the adoption was illegal. Desmond Kaunda, director of the Malawi Human Rights Resource Centre, said: "We are not against the adoption because it is a right...but our main concern is to what extent was Madonna resident in Malawi to actually qualify for that kind of an order?"But Madonna - who appeared on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' on Wednesday to defend her actions - has insisted there were no adoption laws in the African country. The singer told Oprah: "There are no adoption laws in Malawi and I was warned by my social worker that we were more or less going to have to make them up as we went along. And she did say to me, 'Pick Ethiopia. Go to Kenya. Don't go to Malawi because you're just going to get a hard time'."Madonna assured the chat show host that she had not used her fame and wealth to "buy" baby David. She said: "I assure you it doesn't matter who you are or how much money you have, nothing goes fast in Africa."

Snoop Dogg was arrested on suspicion of illegal drug and gun possession, police said. The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, was arrested at 3:45 p.m. Thursday at Bob Hope Airport, police said. Snoop Dogg posted $35,000 bail and was scheduled to appear in court Dec. 12. Airport police officers stopped Snoop Dogg at a loading zone for a vehicle code violation. When officers searched the vehicle they found a gun and marijuana, police said."There was no basis for this arrest," the rapper's attorney, Donald Etra, said in a statement. "We believe that once this is cleared up, all charges will be dismissed."The Orange County district attorney's office has been considering charges against Snoop Dogg after authorities last month discovered a 21-inch collapsible baton in his bags as he boarded a New York-bound flight from John Wayne International Airport. The rapper was convicted in 1990 of cocaine possession and charged with gun possession after a 1993 traffic stop. He pleaded guilty in exchange for three years' probation and a promise to make public service announcements against violence. He was acquitted of murder in 1996 following the death of an alleged gang member who was killed by gunfire from the vehicle Snoop Dogg was traveling in.
Lindsay Lohan's new neighbours are complaining about her before she has even moved in. The 'Mean Girls' star, who has been living in Los Angeles hotel Chateau Marmont for several months, has finally bought a multimillion-dollar apartment in Hollywood's Sierra Towers - much to the fury of local residents. One resident told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "We've always had celebrity residents, but all of them either lead quieter lives or are barely ever here. Everyone thinks she'll be having parties. Beyond the noise factor, it's a security issue. Look at the type and number of people she hangs out with. We don't want them roaming the building."'Simple Life' stars Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were recently in the area and the swarms of paparazzi following them caused a traffic jam. The resident said: "We fear that's what will greet us every day if Lindsay moves in. "Sixty percent of people who live here are easily over 60."This is not going to end well. Mark my words, she'll be made miserable by the complaints and leave. Hopefully she won't move in at all."Kate Winslet has confessed the sex scenes in her new film sickened her.

An attorney for the former boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith has filed a second lawsuit against the reality TV star, this time alleging fraud and conspiracy, his lawyer said Thursday. The lawsuit was filed in the Bahamas on behalf of photographer Larry Birkhead, who claims he is the father of Smith's 6-week-old daughter, said Birkhead's attorney, Debra Opri. Meanwhile, authorities are investigating whether Smith legally obtained permanent residency in the Bahamas, where she has been living since the birth of her daughter, the country's immigration director said Thursday. Birkhead has been seeking a paternity test, claiming he is the father of Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern. He filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles seeking a court order to demand Smith bring the baby to California for a test. In the new lawsuit, Birkhead alleges Smith provided fraudulent information when applying for her daughter's birth certificate in the Bahamas. Smith identified her lawyer, Howard K. Stern, as the father. The lawsuit asks that Stern's name be deleted from the girl's birth certificate and replaced with Birkhead's. "I am the father of Dannielynn and I think this is ... a crime," Birkhead said outside court Thursday. "I expect to be reunited with my daughter with the help of my attorneys."
Nicole Kidman reportedly threatened Keith Urban that their fledgling marriage was over unless he went into rehab after he fell off the wagon while she was filming in Europe. According to Life & Style Weekly, Kidman had been told Urban had been hitting the bars in Nashville after she had flown to Europe to film His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass. She phoned to confront him, and is said to have delivered her ultimatum after he admitted he had started drinking again. “Nicole called Keith and confronted him,” said a source, according to Life & Style. “He got defensive and accused her of spying on him. "She gave him a choice. He could enter a program or she’d leave him. He chose the former. Keith can’t stand the thought of life without Nicole. That’s his motivation to kick this thing for good." Kidman’s sister, Antonia, reportedly flew to the US this week to lend her support. Yesterday was Urban’s birthday — the first the couple would have spent together as husband and wife. Instead, he was in rehab. "She’s an emotional wreck," Life & Style Weekly’s source said of Kidman. “She would never say it to Keith but she’s telling her family and close friends that her marriage is hanging by a thread. She says she wants to help Keith conquer his demons so the two of them can move on with their lives.”

Rachel Bilson has an unusual way of attracting men - she ignores them. The actress - who stars in new movie 'The Last Kiss' alongside Zach Braff - says she is the exact opposite of her character Kim when it comes to seducing guys. Rachel said: "She's a typical college girl but then she's attracted to this older guy so there is more going on with her. Most college girls are just trying to date the frat guy but she wants to be a little bit more mature and adult in a way - that's all. She added: "I wouldn't cross the line and I wouldn't pursue it like she would. But you defiantly do your own thing. I would properly ignore him but that would be my way of trying to get the guy."Although Rachel says she is very different from her character, she admits she understands how amazing it is to fall in love. She explained: "I can relate to her. Finding a guy that you are completely infatuated with and kind of just doing everything you can to get it although I wouldn't have done exactly what she did!"
Anna Nicole Smith did not appear Monday for a meeting requested by the attorney for an ex-boyfriend who claims to be the father of the reality TV star's 6-week-old daughter. The lawyer for photographer Larry Birkhead traveled from Los Angeles to take a deposition from Smith in the Bahamas, where the former Playboy playmate moved while she was pregnant and declared her current companion Howard K. Stern as the child's father. Birkhead filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles seeking a court order to demand Smith bring the baby to California for a paternity test. Her attorneys have argued the court does not have appropriate jurisdiction, but Birkhead lawyer Debra Opri (above left) said she would use Smith's nonappearance Monday to argue for dismissal of that challenge. "We're letting her know if she wants to make it this way, we're not going to make it easy for her," Opri said in a phone interview from Nassau. "This is a tragedy of a natural father, Larry Birkhead, who is being deprived of the bonding process of a father and his daughter." A Bahamian attorney for Smith said he believed Opri needs to work through local courts to demand a test from his client, who has obtained permanent residency in the islands. "If anyone is to be inconvenienced, let him be inconvenienced and bring this action here," Wayne Munroe said of Birkhead. Munroe said Smith stood by her decision not to voluntarily submit her daughter for testing. "If this young woman thinks advertising will sway my client, she is rudely mistaken," he said, referring to Opri. In a statement Monday to syndicated TV show "Extra," Stern said the meeting to take depositions was "nothing more than a publicity stunt." Smith may be facing eviction from the New Providence, Bahamas, home where she is currently living. A real estate developer from Myrtle Beach, S.C., tells People magazine that he owns the property. G. Ben Thompson said he purchased the million-dollar home in August as a favor to the reality star, but he added that she thinks it's a gift. Thompson said that if Smith does not move out he will formally evict her — even though he doesn't want to embarrass or humiliate her. A lawyer for Smith would not confirm or deny Thompson's claims. It's unclear whether or not the eviction would affect her residency status in the Bahamas. A hearing in the paternity case has been scheduled for Thursday at Los Angeles Superior Court. If Birkhead is confirmed to be the father, he could receive visitation or custody rights and possibly a large amount of child support. The baby girl, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, was born on Sept. 7, three days before Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel died while visiting his mother and half-sister in the hospital. A private examiner has said Daniel died from a lethal combination of methadone and two antidepressants. Local officials were expected to announce this week whether they would call a jury inquest into the death.

May, who abandoned doctoral studies in astronomy to play guitar with `70s rock legends Queen, has returned to his first love as a co-author of the book "Bang! The Complete History of the Universe," which was launched Monday. Co-written with Patrick Moore and Chris Lintott, presenters of the British Broadcasting Corp. astronomy program "The Sky at Night," the book recounts the formation of the universe from its origins more than 13 billion years ago and looks forward to its end, several billion years from now. May, 59, whose guitar playing drives "We Will Rock You," "Bohemian Rhapsody" and other hits, sees similarities between his two great loves, music and astronomy."I think there's a sort of purity about both of them," he said recently, according to The Guardian newspaper. "Because you can immerse yourself in thoughts of the universe, or in music, and you're really abstracted. You're a million miles away from all your worries and personal problems and the dust and smoke of where you are."
After an absence of more than two decades, Angela Lansbury will return to Broadway this season to co-star with Marian Seldes in "Deuce," a new play by Terrence McNally. The play concerns two retired tennis players (played by Lansbury and Seldes) who meet again at the U.S. Open. It will premiere May 6 at the Music Box Theatre, Jim Byk, a spokesman for the production, said Monday. Preview performances will begin sometime in April. Michael Blakemore, who directed such hits as "Benefactors," "Noises Off" and "Copenhagen," will direct. Additional casting as well as the show's design team will be announced. The 81-year-old Lansbury is a four-time Tony winner, having won Broadway's top honor for her work in "Mame," "Dear World," a revival of "Gypsy" and "Sweeney Todd." Her last Broadway appearance was in a short-lived revival of "Mame" in 1984. It was then that Lansbury, who has also appeared in such movie classics as "Gaslight," "The Harvey Girls" and "The Manchurian Candidate," went to television for a long run as Jessica Fletcher in the CBS mystery series, "Murder, She Wrote."
A Criminal court judge on Monday warned a lawyer for hip-hop artist Foxy Brown that the rapper would be arrested and thrown in jail if she failed to appear again in her New York assault case today. Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, in a written letter to the judge said she was unable to attend the hearing because she was recovering from an oral surgery. The judge, Melissa Jackson, on Monday rejected a motion by Brown to withdraw her guilty plea and said the sentencing would be held today. She warned that if the rapper failed to show up, she would void a plea deal sparing her jail time and sentence her to instead of probation.In August 2004, the 28-year-old rapper hit and kicked two women in an argument over a $20 payment for a manicure at Bloomie Nails. Brown pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault charges but asked to withdraw her plea after she learned as part of a 3-year probation she would be required to undergo periodic drug testing and attend anger management classes. In the last two years, the rap artist has fired three lawyers, delaying her case each time. Brown has also failed to show up for other scheduled proceedings. She once stuck her tongue out at Jackson, which led to her being handcuffed to her seat in court until she apologized.

Oprah Winfrey was scheduled to tape an interview with Madonna this week about the pop singer's planned adoption of a 13-month-old boy from the African country of Malawi. The interview is scheduled to air on Winfrey's talk show, a spokeswoman for Harpo Productions Inc. said Monday. It will be Madonna's first TV interview about the adoption. Madonna traveled to Malawi on Oct. 4 with her husband, Guy Ritchie. They spent eight days visiting orphanages she is funding through her charity. The child, David Banda, was taken to London last week after Malawi's High Court granted Madonna and Ritchie an interim adoption order. Madonna, 48, has said she acted according to the law, but the toddler's father, Yohane Banda, said Sunday he didn't realize he was signing away custody of his motherless son "for good."Madonna has two children daughter Lourdes, 9, and son Rocco, 6."Now, for the first time, Madonna speaks out with her side of the story on the adoption controversy."The 48-year-old mother of two will tell Oprah about her decision to adopt the 13-month-old boy after visiting his orphanage and reveal whether she will keep him in touch with African roots. A spokesman for Madonna yesterday insisted David will be "free to live wherever he wants" when he turns 18. Madonna has been granted 18 months of foster care for David while she applies to legally adopt him but human right campaigners plan to launch a legal battle to prove that she side stepped Malawi's strict adoption laws. David's father put him in the care of the orphanage after his mother died, and he now claims he believed Madonna was only going to raise and educate his son before returning him to Malawi.
Geri Halliwell has turned to Kabbalah. The former Spice Girl, who has had a struggled adjusting to life as a single mother, has found the religion a source of comfort. A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Geri was introduced to Kabbalah by Victoria Beckham about a year ago. She really only became involved while she was pregnant. It has been a big source of strength to her through her pregnancy and in the months following. She is working on herself spiritually through reading the different teachings and giving her 'quiet time' every day."The 34-year-old is also said to be keen to get her daughter Bluebell Madonna interested in the teachings of Kabbalah - a mystical off-shoot of Judaism - and will take her to meetings as soon as she is old enough.Kabbalah has reportedly helped Geri stay calm despite the stress of an ongoing assault case against her former nanny after Geri found Bluebell bruised and screaming.Geri suffered more heartache recently when she is said to have told police she was living in terror after being stalked by a mystery fan.Kabbalah may even bring Bluebell's estranged father Sacha Gervasi back into Geri's life.The source said: "The irony is that Sacha is Jewish and Kabbalah is a strand of Judaism, so it's possible it could bring him and Geri closer."
Matthew McConaughey is taking a break from women. The 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' star - who once dated Penelope Cruz - has decided he likes being a bachelor too much to settle down. A source is quoted by Britain's News of the World as saying: "Matt's too much of his own man to be with any woman long-term. He loves his travelling and his fitness routine too much to be tamed by a woman. Then there's his work, which Matt takes very seriously."He's happiest being a single guy right now - for the foreseeable future. "Last week McConaughey and close friend Lance Armstrong spoke out to deny rumours that they are gay. The pair - who have been photographed together shirtless on several occasions - have laughed off rumours their friendship has turned physical. Matthew joked: "We tried it. It wasn't for us!"The actor then added: "A lot of people don't understand friendship and brotherhood. I have a great friend in him. I'd do anything he asked me to, even though he'd probably never ask me to, and he feels the same way."Seven-time Tour de France cycling champion Lance - who called off his engagement to singer Sheryl Crow earlier this year - admits he and Matthew had no idea their relationship would become so strong. He explained: "Our friendship just developed. He got out of a relationship and I'd just gotten out of a relationship."I think people see pictures and they think we're these overgrown frat guys, but we all have those kinds of relationships - and relationship isn't a bad word."
Ewan McGregor turned down the role of James Bond. 'Casino Royale' director Martin Campbell offered the role to the 'Moulin Rouge' actor in the early casting days but the Scottish actor snubbed the offer over fears of being typecast. Campbell, who also directed 'Golden Eye', told Britain's Sunday Times newspaper: "I think he got another job or decided he didn't want it. "The 'Star Wars' actor, 35, admits playing the suave spy would have been "fun" but said he had concerns over the long-term nature of the role. A source revealed: "I think Ewan was in greater danger being stuck in one role - which he would be in for quite some time."The part went to Daniel Craig, despite Campbell not being "totally convinced" the 38-year-old was a match for previous Bonds, including Sir Sean Connery. Craig - who has reportedly signed a three film deal, was branded "too soft" by 007 fans, after he admitted he was scared of heights and got injured in his first fight scene. He was also blasted for not being able to master the gears in Bond's Aston martin and demanding an automatic instead. 'Casino Royale' is released worldwide on November 17th.

Kate Moss has fuelled rumors after she was seen looking at engagement rings with lover Pete Doherty.The supermodel and the former drug addict were browsing over sparkling bands during a romantic trip to Florence at the weekend. One onlooker said: "They both looked like a pair of loved-up teenagers but they were taking the matter of rings very seriously. There is no guarantee it's an engagement ring but it seems significant to them."Kate, 32, made her best efforts to hide the sparkler when she arrived in Heathrow airport yesterday, by covering it up with her sleeve. Meanwhile, Pete's uncle Phil Michels has claimed the 32-year-old catwalk queen is pregnant with his nephew's baby. He told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I have spoken to Pete twice about the baby and he has confirmed that Kate is pregnant. They are both delighted and Pete sounded really excited.

The 32-year-old supermodel is calling the rules 'Kate's Commandments' and insists the junkie rocker must stop taking drugs, end contact with his 'loser' friends and call her at least thee times a day. Pete, 27, must also stop flirting with his groupies if he wants to make Kate his bride, start eating properly and spend two hours every day writing poetry and music. A source said: "Pete is prone to going AWOL. Kate has warned Pete that if he doesn't comply, their relationship is off."Kate and Pete are apparently planning to marry in Ibiza on her 33rd birthday in January next year. She agreed to marry the rocker after he checked into The Priory rehab centre to battle his addictions to crack cocaine and heroin. Since leaving rehab Pete has managed to stay clean. 
Russell Crowe thinks he is too old to be an action hero.The 42-year-old star has confessed he is too worn out to perform dangerous stunts in his movies and is on the look out for more sedate roles. Crowe said: "Now that I'm getting a little bit older the bones are creaking and the Achilles tendons don't work the way they should."I don't approach everything with the same intensity that I used to."The burly actor has tackled some gruelling action roles including a Roman warrior in 'Gladiator', a sea captain in 'Master and Commander' and a boxer in the critically acclaimed 'Cinderella Man'. Although Crowe is ready to walk away from action roles some of his ageing Hollywood rivals are going back to the genre that shot them to fame. Bruce Willis, 51, is making a fourth 'Die Hard' film, 64-year-old Harrison Ford is starring in a fourth 'Indiana Jones' movie and Sylvester Stallone, 60, has laced up his gloves one more time for a sixth 'Rocky' movie.

The father of the 1-year-old boy who Madonna plans to adopt is saying he didn’t realize the pop singer was taking the toddler "for good," the Associated Press reports. "Our understanding was that they would educate and take care of our son just as they were doing at the orphanage," Yohane Banda, 32, told AP in a telephone interview on Sunday. "I am just realizing now the meaning of adoption." The statement is a shift from earlier remarks Banda made when he struck out at human rights groups that have tried to stop Madonna from adopting his son, David. On Sunday however, Banda said he was confused about the meaning of the adoption papers he signed earlier this month in court, which allowed a Malawian judge to grant the singer and her husband, Guy Ritchie, a temporary order to take David, who was flown to England where the couple and their two children live.

The world knows him as boy wizard Harry Potter. Now, Daniel Radcliffe wants the world to see him differently. Next summer, the 17-year-old will take to a London stage in the Tony Award-winning drama "Equus" and will perform nude during one scene, according Newsweek magazine in editions that will hit newsstands Monday. "Part of me wants to shake up people's perception of me, just shove me in a blender," he told the magazine in an exclusive interview on the set of the fifth Harry Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." "It's a really challenging play, and if I can pull it off we don't know if I can yet I hope people will stop and think, 'Maybe he can do something other than Harry,'" he said. In "Equus," Radcliffe will play a "troubled young man with a religious-erotic obsession with horses," the magazine reported. Radcliffe was discovered seven years ago in the audience of a London theater and is known for playing Potter in the blockbuster film series based on J.K. Rowling's books.
