The 18-year-old star Emma Watson hasn't ruled out shedding her clothes for a film role, but would only agree if she was asked by renowned Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci. She recently did an interview with The Times where she said that she would go naked for a good movie role. Here is an excerpt of the article:
Emma Watson would go nude, for Bernardo Bertolucci. It depends. I'm not taking my clothes off anytime soon, but it is part of my job.
The "Harry Potter" actress also revealed she is struggling to fit into the movie industry at the moment because of her age. She added to Britain's Style magazine:
I am at a strange age. I'm not a woman yet, but I'm not a girl anymore. Film companies say, 'Oh, in a couple of years you will be perfect for this.' I'll be like, 'Yeah, but I want to be studying English at university then, so it's going to be tough to choose between the two.
I hope she will not end up like Megan Fox or Marisa Miller, or on the cover of Playboy.
US producer and director Greg Bonann, the creator of the hit TV series Baywatch, is looking for a Kiwi actress that he could turn into Pamela Anderson for a new New Zealand TV drama. Bonann, who launched Anderson and her co-star David Hasselhoff into stardom, has plans for a new drama in New Zealand and wants to do the same with three Kiwi girls in a show dubbed 'Southern Lakes'.
He has started work with some of Hollywood's well-known writers to develop a script for the show, and hopes to shoot a pilot episode in Queenstown next year. His Kiwi-born business partner, Walter Brown, who co-produced Baywatch Downunder, an Australian spin-off of the hit lifeguard series, revealed on December 7 that the show would be a sizzling hot drama that played on Queenstown's massive tourism scene.
"One idea to maximise the breathtaking landscapes of the Southern Lakes region and to ensure the show has a tourism theme with an endless flow of colourful international characters is (having) three beautiful, adventurous sisters return to Queenstown to rescue their grandfather's floundering floatplane charter service, Queenstown Air," the NZPA quoted Brown as telling Sunday News from his base in California.
"Trouble, drama and adventure find them each week as they fight to preserve their family business in the face of overwhelming odds," he said. Brown hopes most of the characters including the three principal roles will be found and cast in New Zealand and expects the drama to be a hit.
"Greg created the most popular television series in history so he knows what people want to watch," he said. "Baywatch had all the elements to be extraordinarily successful in its day and it created household names. Of course every producer hopes for that kind of success and personally, I think New Zealand has the magic to do it," he added.
Hollywood actress Charlize Theron has once again stripped down to her flawless body in the much-awaited flick The Burning Plain. The That Thing You do actress, who has earlier stripped down in flicks like The Devil's Advocate, Deception, Monster and 2 Days In The Valley, is once again ready to entice all with the strip act, reports the Sun.
The Oscar winner will play Sylvia, who tries to find common ground with her parents after a chaotic childhood; Hollywood Kim Basinger will play her mother in the flick. Theron was pretty aptly named the sexiest woman alive by Esquire magazine last year, however this year the title has been taken away by another Hollywood actress Hally Berry.
Meanwhile, humanitarian Theron was also in news for being appointed as the United Nations Messenger Of Peace for her contribution in ending violence against women.
Adriana Lima, who's one of the world's best paid supermodels, insists that she is a virgin.
The 27-year-old beauty, who has been a Victoria's Secret Angel for eight years, is planning to marry Serbian basketball player Marko Jaric, who plays for US team the Memphis Grizzlies, next June, reports The Daily Telegraph.
The stunner's first fashion show for Victoria's Secret was in 1998 and since being contracted as an Angel in 2000, she has appeared on subsequent shows ever since.
She starred alongside Mickey Rourke in 2001 film The Follow and played herself in an episode of Ugly Betty this year.
Meanwhile, Adriana was also in news for being the face of world's most expensive bra costing 5 million dollar.
Ellen DeGeneres says adverts for children's clothing make her want to have a baby.
Ellen, who married her female partner Portia di Rossi in a ceremony in August, is thinking about starting a family after seeing the "cute" models featured in clothing company GAP's new campaign.
She joked: "I see those adverts that have the babies in them for GAP and maybe it's cute that they have a little GAP knit sweater on their head, a little GAP outfit. But they advertise kids very well, those GAP ads.
"I don't even look at the clothes - I just go, 'That's a cute baby, I'll take that one'."
Speaking more seriously, Ellen, 50, added that because she and Portia, 35, are a same sex couple they have to carefully consider having a child.
She said: "I think that's one of the things about not being able to just accidentally get pregnant and have a child. You really, really have to want one - whether it's trying to figure out how you get pregnant or if you adopt."
She is also keen to stress that, despite her broodiness, she and Portia have no plans to increase their family at present.
Ellen added to AOL TV: "I think that's even more of a reason that people that aren't able to have kids should be allowed to adopt - because you have to really want a kid, and that's a big responsibility.
"So we are not taking it lightly. We would really think about it before we did it."
Kate Moss is reportedly throwing a party to announce she is pregnant.
The supermodel - who already has a six-year-old daughter Lila Grace with ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack - is said to be planning to reveal her happy news at her Cotswolds country home on December 18.
It is believed she will gather all her close friends and family together to tell them she and partner Jamie Hince are having their first child together.
A source said: "Kate has been on the phone to all her friends and her PA has been on the case to her family. Kate has had a few big nights out recently but she has been behaving more than usual. Even Simon Cowell said she had a bit of a tummy when she went to The X Factor last weekend."
Kate, 34, first sparked pregnancy rumours after wearing a series of baggy outfits and cutting alcohol out of her lifestyle.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed Kate took her 60-year-old nanny Mary Davidson on a massive shopping spree at British high street store Topshop.
A source revealed: "Mary was shy and bewildered at first but soon got into the swing as Kate encouraged her. She came away with more than £3,000 of clothes and shoppers found their jaws dropping as they bumped into Kate and she was shouting, ‘Come on girl, buy buy buy!’ Mary just kept saying, ‘But what will I get you for Christmas?'"
However, the bill for the spree was not picked up Kate - who is a designer for the clothing chain - but by Topshop owner Sir Philip Green.
KUALA LUMPUR – Bollywood fever has hit Malaysia as Indian movie icon Shah Rukh Khan flew in to be awarded the nation's equivalent of a knighthood.
Khan was presented with an award from Malacca which carries the title "Datuk", equivalent to a British knighthood, after a 2001 film which was set in the southern state boosted its profile as a tourist destination.
The actor was decked in a gold and black traditional Malay outfit for the Saturday ceremony, which was attended by more than 500 invited guests.
The crowd -- including the wives and teenaged children of diplomats and politicians -- shrieked his name and mobbed the star.
The 42-year-old heartthrob is well-loved in Malaysia, where Indian films have a huge following among ethnic Indians, majority Muslim-Malays and the ethnic Chinese community as well.
"It is a wonderful honor, it is very, very prestigious for me and... for all the people who act in films in my country," Khan told reporters.
"When you are an actor, you truly believe that the language that you speak can be truly international and go across boundaries and bring hope especially in today's time and age, when the world is full of strife."
Khan was taken on a tour of Malacca's tourist attractions before meeting thousands of fans.
"I love Shah Rukh. I got especially dolled up for him today and even though I am an ethnic Chinese, I really enjoy watching Hindi movies with Shah Rukh in them," said 22-year-old Chia Hooi Ling who attended the ceremony.
The award drew some controversy, with politicians questioning whether local artists should be recognised instead.
But fans were thrilled by the visit, which drew a large crowd of citizens, tourists and trishaw riders with Hindi movie songs blaring on their radios -- all hoping for a glimpse of the legend in the flesh.
"It is a dream come true for me. I traveled from Kuala Lumpur to see him and I managed to take a picture with him," said Siti Asmah Abdullah, a 21-year-old university student.
"He's lovely and very charming. Even my grandmother is in love with him," said Angelica Das, 16, who waited for hours to see him.
For local trishaw driver, Abu Mat Kassim, Khan's presence in the state -- where he filmed "One 2 Ka 4" -- meant a boost for his business.
"Look at how much he has done to make Malacca famous," he said. "We love him and we are proud to have this fabulous star as a Malaccan Datuk."
