Beauty icon title goes to Knightley

Keira Knightley was named the number one women's beauty icon of 2007 in a poll of 2,500 people.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean actress beat TV presenter Kelly Brook and supermodel Kate Moss to win the greatest share of votes.

All 10 of the women named as top beauty icons in the Superdrug poll are British.

Glamour model Katie Price, also known as Jordan, came just ahead of Paris Hilton to get the number 10 slot.

Superdrug beauty director Katherine Le Clerc said: "The top 10 beauty icons list shows that today there is room for everyone's idea of true beauty.

"From the aloof glamour of Keira Knightley and Victoria Beckham's high-maintenance gloss to the fresh faced youthful looks of Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby and Gemma Atkinson."

Kate Moss, 33, is the oldest woman in the top 10 followed by Victoria Beckham, Superdrug said.

The survey of 2,500 people was carried out for the retailer by market researchers 72point earlier this month.

These are, in order, the top beauty icons of 2007 as named in the Superdrug poll: Keira Knightley, Kelly Brook, Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby, Gemma Atkinson, Alesha Dixon, Lily Allen and Jordan.

Nicole Kidman reveals that she is pregnant

Nicole Kidman, the Oscar-winning star of The Hours and Moulin Rouge, is expecting a baby, it has been disclosed.

The actress, 40, and Keith Urban, her husband of 18 months, reportedly broke the news to their families over the Christmas period.

The baby, whose expected arrival date has not been announced, would be Kidman's first by birth, though the actress, who is winning rave reviews for her role as the evil Mrs Coulter in The Golden Compass, adopted two children during her first marriage to fellow Hollywood star Tom Cruise.

Kidman, who has refused to discuss her break up from Cruise in any depth, recently revealed she had suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage during their 10-year marriage.

Life with Urban, 40, a New Zealand-born country and western singer, has also not been without its difficulties.

The singer checked himself into rehab for alcohol abuse less than four months after the wedding. Kidman admits that it has put a strain on the relationship but says the problems are now under control.

The Australian actress, who lives in Sydney, has been gradually winding down her commitments to spend more time with Urban and her adopted children Isabella, 14, and Conor, 12.

Beyonce Poses Topless

Beyonce Knowles poses in a pair of jeans for House of Dereon brand clothing.

According to Anythinghollywood.com, Beyonce Knowles knows how to seduce her fans into purchasing her brand, House of Dereon jeans. It appears topless photos are “in” right now, because just a few weeks after Keira Knightley made her decision to pose topless for Interview Magazine (and a Chanel ad), Beyonce is doing the same. In her new racy ad, Beyonce is wearing a pair of tight jeans, and that’s all.

A source told News of the World, “Bey wanted to show just how seductive the label can be.” She did a good job. The jeans are quite tight, and have a “squiggly,” which is supposed to be a Fleur-de-Lis (a symbol of the French monarchy), on the back pockets.

Beyonce may not have a single $100 million deal, but her list of endorsements in 2007 alone is enormous: American Express, her Samsung B'Phone, her Armani Diamonds perfume, her appearance in Disneyland's ad campaign as Alice from 'Alice in Wonderland,' her Direct TV ad and her continuing L'Oreal cosmetics contract.

As the face of her own clothing lines run with her family, Dereon, and now Dereon Junior launched in 2007, Beyonce is everywhere and pulling in product-related cash from almost every commodity category. Her level of exposure, combined with the number, quality and diversity of her endorsement deals makes Beyonce BV's Top Black Celebrity Endorser of 2007.

Tony Romo Not Distracted By Jessica Simpson Masks

Because of suggestions that his hottie girlfriend Jessica Simpson is the jinx in his games, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo felt the pressure and still led his team to victory over the Carolina Panthers Saturday.

Despite thousands of fans wearing Simpson masks, the Cowboys won the game 20-13. Some fans even wore blonde wigs. Simpson was not seen on camera although, according to ESPN, she was in attendance.

"I just put tunnel vision on. There's so many distractions about junk sometimes. I felt like the important thing for my team was to get myself into football mode 24/7," Romo explains.

"I let it roll of my back," the quarterback responds to the question if the media attention has bothered him. "It doesn't really bother me. But it hurts me when it hurts the people that are close to you. Some of the journalistic integrity this week was poor in some ways."

The game in question was last Sunday's game versus the Philadelphia Eagles. It was deemed to be the worst game of his career when he completed a season-low 13 passes and threw three interceptions.

Simpson was blamed for his loss. She was wearing a matching pink Romo jersey from a luxury suite view.

A website aptly named www.RuinRomo.com asks fans of opposing teams to download a Jessica Simpson mask from their site to distract Romo while playing.

Kim Kardashian used to pray her breasts would stop growing.

Kim Kardashian used to pray her breasts would stop growing.

The 27-year-old model and star of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' was an early developer and had C-cup breasts by the time she was 11.

Kim revealed: "I would cry about it. I swear, I would say my prayers at night, hoping that I would stop developing."

The Hollywood socialite - who starred in a sex tape with Brandy's brother, R'n'B singer Ray J - has now learnt to "embrace" her body and made her mother proud by posing for Playboy magazine.

She said: "I've embraced it now. When my mom saw the Playboy pictures she said, 'Wow. If I had pictures from when I was your age. You should do this while you can. They might never ask you again.' "

Kim has decided to use her sexy curves to keep her in the public spotlight.

She added to Details magazine: "I'm not the sex kitten that they've made me out to be, but I'll kind of give it to them when I have to. I know that's what they want, and so I give it to them."

R. Kelly Child-Pornography Trial To Begin May 9

After years of incessant delays, R. Kelly's child-pornography case will finally commence May 9. The trial had previously been scheduled for September 17 but was postponed early that month because the lead prosecutor had recently given birth.

According to the Tribune, Kelly also avoided having his bond revoked Friday morning (December 21). Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan had threatened to do so after chiding the singer for missing a hearing on Wednesday after his tour bus was stopped in Utah for a speeding infraction. An arrest warrant had been issued for the R&B singer, who avoided going to jail when he showed for a 9 a.m. court date on Thursday, but Gaughan threatened to revoke the bond anyway.

Also on Friday, Gaughan considered forcing Kelly to call off his U.S. tour but didn't follow through with the punishment. Gaughan said he decided on leniency because of the "unintended consequences" of canceling such an event, including disappointing fans and a loss of income for venue workers.

The judge did, however, order him to cancel a January 13 concert in Hampton, Virginia, to ensure Kelly doesn't miss his next court appearance on January 14, the paper reports. He is due to perform Friday night in Chicago.

In addition, Gaughan mandated that any vehicles transporting Kelly were not to break any speeding laws, and that if the singer couldn't return to Chicago in time for his next court appearance, that he must return by aircraft. The Tribune quoted Kelly as saying, "I'm sorry for this whole incident, and the next time I would be on a plane if it came down to it."

The Kelly case has dragged on for five years without a trial and originated with 14 counts of child pornography filed against him in 2002 for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with an allegedly underage girl. Kelly, 40, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Pam Anderson Files For Divorce From Husband #3

Pamela Anderson divorces husband number three. The former "Baywatch" star has filed divorce from Rick Solomon Friday.

Less than three months of being married, 40-year-old Anderson has hinted that her marriage was not on the best of terms on her official website. The divorce was filed in the Los Angeles Supreme Court. They had been married in Las Vegas on October 6.

Anderson had said she was happy with the marriage only a month ago. "I'm the happiest I've ever been," the Playboy covergirl says of her husband. "We're good for each other."

Solomon might be best known for being Shannon Doherty's ex and Paris Hilton's partner in the infamous "One Night In Paris" sex video.

Just last week, the red skimpy swimsuit-strutting actress denied reports about a new reality show for the couple. She said she had considered the offer but decided against it for family reasons.

"The choices I have to make now are about quality of life. And meaning. Not about money or fame for no good reason," Anderson wrote on her blog.

"I know I've made a lot of mistakes. But no regrets - just living such a huge dream. I'm blessed. So many options. I can't complain. I can be confused."

This is Anderson's 3rd marriage and divorce. She was married to Tommy Lee for 1995 to 1998 at which time she had changed her name to Pamela Anderson Lee. Last year, she had married rock star Kid Rock in a yacht wedding in St. Tropez France. The second wedding was short lived too for three months.

Keira Knightley was shown how to pleasure James McAvoy

Keira Knightley was shown how to pleasure James McAvoy for their steamy sex scene in 'Atonement'.

The Scottish actor - who plays Keira's love interest Robbie in the Oscar-tipped movie - says the highlight of filming the romantic epic was hearing his co-star being instructed in the art of manual stimulation.

James told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Being there while Keira Knightley was being told to w*** me off was a high point."

Director Joe Wright added: "Absolutely no comment. I can't believe he told you that!"
The 22-year-old actress admitted that while she enjoyed shooting the raunchy romp in the library scene, she did need some guidance on what to do.

Keira said: "It was the sex scene, which I have to say I think is a really good sex scene. But it was such a specific thing and it had to be so erotic that we did just say to Joe, 'Come on, talk us through it.' "

Smith's 'Legend' lives on with $76.5 million record debut

For the last man on Earth, Will Smith sure has a lot of friends. The Warner Bros. tale "I Am Legend," starring Smith as a plague survivor who may be the last living human, debuted with $76.5 million, the biggest December opening ever and a personal best for one of Hollywood's top box-office champs, according to studio estimates Sunday.

"It's no wonder Will Smith feels so lonely. Everyone else on Earth is in the movie theater," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers.

The 20th Century Fox family flick "Alvin and the Chipmunks," starring Jason Lee in a big-screen take on the cartoon critters, opened a strong No. 2 with $45 million. The two films combined to give Hollywood a year-end surge after a drowsy fall season.

"Forty-five million acorns," said Chris Aronson, senior vice president for distribution at 20th Century Fox. "Chipmunks are diurnal animals and they do hibernate, but not right now."

Overall business soared, with the top 12 movies taking in $153.6 million, up 39 percent from the same weekend a year earlier, when Smith also was No. 1 with a $26.5 million debut for "The Pursuit of Happyness."

The previous No. 1 movie, New Line Cinema's fantasy "The Golden Compass," nose-dived in its second weekend, coming in third with $9 million, down a dismal 65 percent from its less-than-expected $25.8 million debut a week earlier.

"The Golden Compass," which cost $180 million to produce, has done $90 million so far overseas but has proven a dud domestically with just $41 million.

On the other hand, "I Am Legend" smashed Smith's personal debut record, easily exceeding the $52.1 million opening weekends of "I, Robot" and "Men in Black II," his previous bests. "I Am Legend" outdid the $72.6 million premiere of 2003's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," the previous best December opening.

"It's nice to be in the Will Smith business," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros. "He is just the No. 1 box-office star in the world today."

Based on the Richard Matheson novel filmed twice before as Vincent Price's "The Last Man on Earth" and Charlton Heston's "The Omega Man," "I Am Legend" casts Smith as a scientist trying to find a cure and fighting off the vestiges of humanity, people transformed by the plague into vampire-like creatures.

Two Golden Globe nominees just hitting theaters did well in their second weekends.

Focus Features' "Atonement" — a tragic romance that led the Globes with seven nominations, including best drama and acting honors for Keira Knightley and James McAvoy — pulled in $1.85 million in 117 theaters. That gave "Atonement" a strong average of $15,835 a theater, compared to $21,224 in 3,606 cinemas for "I Am Legend."

Fox Searchlight's "Juno," a teen-pregnancy comedy whose three nominations included best comedy or musical and an acting honor for Ellen Page, grossed $1.44 million in 40 theaters for a $36,018 average.

"Atonement" and "Juno" expand into nationwide release over the next three weekends.

Another Golden Globe nominee, the Paramount Classics-DreamWorks foreign-language contender "The Kite Runner," debuted strongly with $450,970 in 35 theaters for a $12,885 average. Spanning the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to modern times, the film follows an emigrant to America who returns home to rescue the son of a childhood friend.

Francis Ford Coppola's first film in 10 years, "Youth Without Youth" from Sony Pictures Classics, had a so-so debut of $27,815 in six theaters, averaging $4,636. The film stars Tim Roth as an elderly language scholar whose youth is restored by a lightning strike.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Monday.

1. "I Am Legend," $76.5 million.

2. "Alvin and the Chipmunks," $45 million.

3. "The Golden Compass," $9 million.

4. "Enchanted," $6 million.

5. "No Country for Old Men," $3 million.

6. "The Perfect Holiday," $2.97 million.

7. "Fred Claus," $2.3 million.

8. "This Christmas," $2.3 million.

9. "Atonement," $1.85 million.

10. "August Rush," $1.8 million.

Gemma Atkinson Bails Out Braless DJ

GEMMA Atkinson turned into a best supporting actress when she came to the rescue of braless DJ Suzie McGuire.

The model and former star of Hollyoaks helped out when Suzie, who was hosting a charity lunch, revealed that she had forgotten to bring her bra.

Staff backstage had to avert their eyes as FF-cup Gemma peeled off her own bra and handed it over.

Suzie, who wears an E cup, said: "The engineers were embarrassed. They said, 'She's wearing her bingo dress - eyes down.'"

Gemma, 23, who was a big hit with her bikini-clad showers in the I'm A Celebrity jungle, met 34-year-old Suzie at Radio Clyde's Cash For Kids lunch at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow.

Earlier, she had been at Debenhams to launch the new store for brafirm Ultimo.

And she revealed she has her sights on Hollywood and has tried out for a major film.

Gemma has already made one film, Boogie Woogie, but she hopes a part in the new project would raise her profile. She revealed: "I've just been auditioning for a major Hollywood film. It is a major movie with some really big names."

The actress, who has been linked to footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Bent, was tight-lipped about her love life but says she's looking forward to spending Christmas with her family and enjoying a traditional dinner.

It will be a big change from the Australian jungle in I'm A Celebrity - where Gemma found herself the meal, rather than the diner.

She said: "The mosquitoes seemed to love the taste ofme and I've got loads of bites, about 60, mostly on my arms."

But Gemma, who models Ultimo's bigger cup range, also reckons the jungle won her scores of new female fans.

She said: "Girls before weren't too impressed by the idea of someone flaunting themselves in underwear while their men looked on.

"But now that they've seen me on TV they realise I'm nice and not a threat to them."

Jessica Alba Gets Knocked Up

How'd this happen? She said she was on birth control and I double wrapped! While I would easily take responsibility for getting Jessica Alba pregnant, it looks like that task comes down to douche bag Cash Warren. Okay, okay, maybe he's not a crap weasel, but we are talking about one of my biggest crushes here.

People has released an announcement today reporting that Jessica Alba is pregnant with boyfriend Cash Warren's child.

"I can confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer," says rep Brad Cafarelli.

Alba, 26, has dated Warren, 28, since the fall of 2004 after they met on the set of The Fantastic Four, on which Warren was a director's assistant.

I'm sure Cash is all good, but does he own a 'semi but not really successful' entertainment blog? I don't think so...

Keira Knightley 'loves' posing naked

Actress Keira Knightley enjoys stripping off for photo shoots so much, she fears she'll become a nudist.

The Pride And Prejudice star posed nude with Scarlett Johansson for the cover of Vanity Fair last year and can currently be seen baring nearly all in an advertising campaign for Chanel perfume. But the 22-year-old is worried her exhibitionist ways will cause her to ditch clothes entirely in the future.

Knightley says, "I don't know why it happened this way. People ask me to pose naked and I just say yes. I find it vaguely liberating.

"I hope I don't become a nudist, but I'm definitely on my way."

Playboy Kim Kardashian is frighteningly hot

CHRISTMAS may be just around the corner but Kim Kardashian is still wearing her Halloween gear.

The reality TV star showed off her ample curves in Mexico over the weekend while taking a stroll on the beach.

However Kim decided to cover up her sexy black bathing costume with an outfit that wouldn't look out of place on Fright Night.

The former Playboy covergirl was in Cabo San Lucas partying with her sisters KOURTNEY and KHLOE at the opening party of Hotel Me in Cabo San Lucas.

Mariah Carey teams up with Spike Lee for new music video

Mariah Carey has teamed up with director Spike Lee to create a music video poking fun at herself.

The video - titled ‘Lovers and Haters’ - will feature on Carey’s new concert DVD, ‘The Adventures of Mimi’, according to US reports.

It will showcase actors saying unkind things Carey has overheard about herself. One young woman says of 38-year-old Carey: “I heard that ain’t even her real voice. She keeps this great singer in the dungeon.

“She only gives her bread and water and takes her out when it’s time to record.”

Eva Mendes' naked pride

Eva Mendes is proud she has stripped off naked on screen.

The curvy actress is glad she bared all in 'Training Day', which also starred Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke, and was more happy to go nude for a raunchy sex scene with Joaquin Phoenix in new thriller 'We Own The Night'.

Eva said: "I put myself out there for that part in 'Training Day', emotionally and physically. Going nude is a really big deal for Americans - even more so when you are trying to become established and you are doing it for a film that you only have two scenes in.

"I took a big risk. I went full-frontal - and back! Afterwards, I was like, 'Did I do the right thing?' But the reaction was very positive. And I realised that if you put yourself out there people will respond. That's the pay-off."

Earlier this week, it was revealed Eva has posed naked for PETA.

The Latina star bares all in the animal rights group's latest advert for its 'I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur' campaign.

The poster features Eva baring her curvy bottom while covering her breasts with her arms and includes PETA's slogan "Fur? I'd rather go naked".

Anderson voted 'TV's Sexiest Woman Ever'

Former 'Baywatch' star Pamela Anderson has been voted TV's Sexiest Woman Ever in a prestigious online poll.

The 40-year-old pin-up topped the list on AOL, with the website's editors giving her the top honour for taking "bodacious to a new level".

'Desperate Housewives' star Eva Longoria Parker also made the cut along with Katherine Heigl, Jessica Alba and former 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' star Charisma Carpenter.

The countdown also included veteran TV pin-ups Jaclyn Smith from 'Charlie's Angels' and original Catwoman Julie Newmar.

Eva Mendes' best breasts

Eva Mendes was set to wear prosthetic breasts in comedy 'Stuck On You', until directors saw her ample bosom.

The stunning Latina actress - who played busty April Mercedes in the 2003 film - has revealed filmmaker brothers Bobby and Peter Farrelly re-wrote the script when they realised there was no need to employ fake tactics.

She told Britain's You magazine: "They had written my character with these huge, fake boobs, and then they said, 'We're going to take that out - you have great breasts.'

"They didn't want me to wear anything fake or prosthetic in the cleavage department. I said, 'Trust me guys, I can get them up there!' "

Eva, 32, also said she is incredibly proud of her impressive assets, because they make her feel womanly.

She added: "Boobs are really good. I love every aspect of being a woman. I believe you should celebrate who you are."

Meanwhile, Eva - who was seen leaving a pre-natal yoga class in September - has fuelled pregnancy rumours after being spotted hiding what appeared to be a baby bump behind her large bag as she left a private gym in Hollywood.

Amy Winehouse seen walking street in just bra and jeans

Barefoot, and clad only in her bra and jeans, the troubled singer emerged from a friend's house in Bow at 5.45am on Sunday looking distressed and agitated, according to reports in The Daily Mail.

Onlookers said she appeared disorientated as she wandered around on the pavement for several minutes in the freezing cold before disappearing back inside.

The 24-year-old singer, who cancelled her UK tour last week, has ignored pleas from her family to seek help for her addiction to drugs.

They had hoped that she would return to the Causeway Clinic in Essex, where she has already had two failed attempts to get herself clean.

Instead, she has been 'resting' at a friend's house in East London.

Quite why she came outside only half dressed in the early hours is unclear. One onlooker said she looked up and down the road as if she was waiting for someone, but no one arrived at the house.

"She came out of the house, walked down the drive and wandered around on the pavement for a bit.

"She looked upset and agitated but there was no obvious reason for her to have come outside. It was weird."

Last week she was pictured looking clearly the worse for wear with specks of white powder in her nostril.

And in another report the singer is said to be "falling apart mentally and physically" and has developed a nervous disposition which causes her to constantly pull at her teeth.

"Amy is very upset about her teeth because they have literally been falling out," a source said last night.

"She has one missing from the front of her mouth, and another one at the back which is less visible.

"Her mouth is full of holes and she is desperately worried she is going to lose more. She has actually pulled a tooth out herself, which is absolutely disgusting."

Amy was photographed following a recent gig in Brighton pulling at her teeth and covering her mouth in a bid to hide the missing teeth

"She picks at them all the time," the source said.

"Her gums are always red and sore as a result of it and some of the teeth are loosening."

The singer apologised to fans after cancelling her tour last week but explained that she was unable to perform on stage without support from her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is in prison awaiting trial on charges of grievous bodily harm.

Her spokesman said she had scrapped all live shows and promotional appearances for the remainder of the year on the instruction of her doctor, adding that 'the rigours involved in touring and the intense emotional strain Amy has been under in recent weeks have taken their toll.'

But Blake's mother Georgette lashed out at ailing Amy and said she is taking "more drugs than ever" and has been neglecting husband Blake in prison.

The singer has only been to visit her man at Pentonville Prison twice in the past few weeks - has incurred the wrath of Georgette, who has laid into Amy for not looking after Blake.

Amy was supposed to take clothes and personal items into prison for Blake, but he was forced to go without for days until his mother had to go shopping and buy him some outfits.

Georgette said: "Amy's having trouble getting her head together about anything right now.

"It's desperately sad and we're all so worried about her mental and emotional well-being. She needs professional help."

While Blake is said to have weaned himself off drugs while in prison, Amy has reportedly been on three-day benders without sleeping.

She went for her nocturnal walkabout yesterday morning, walking barefoot through the streets and mumbling incomprehensibly.

Georgette added: "Amy is still using drugs when Blake's in prison. She is using more cocaine and heroin now than ever. She can't stop crying and keeps saying all she wants is peace. She's not eating or sleeping properly and is in pieces."

Blake, 25, is on remand facing charges of GBH and perverting the course of justice. He is allowed only two 90-minute visits a week.

But Amy's dad Mitch, 57, complained that Georgette, 42, has booked all the visits so his daughter has to "scream and beg" to see her husband.

"Hair salon boss Georgette hit back by telling Closer magazine: "I've had to help Amy see him in prison, because she had no idea that all visits are pre-booked and she can't just turn up to see him.

"Amy has hardly stopped crying, but what has she actually done to help Blake? "Nothing."

She added: "Mitch should put his energy into getting his daughter in rehab, not verbally attacking me."

Last night Amy's spokesman was unavailable for comment.

Halle Berry voted the hottest pregnant women ever

Actress Halle Berry has been voted the hottest pregnant women ever.

Berry, 41, who is pregnant with her first child, blew fans away when she turned up to the premiere of her new film ‘Things We Lost in the Fire’ sporting a low-cut blue Versace dress.

The ‘Perfect Stranger’ actress saw off stiff competition from Christina Aguilera and Heidi Klum to top the list put together by maxim.com.

One Maxim.com writer said: “Descriptions like ‘over 40′ and ‘with child’ aren’t usually things we associate with looking hot, but Halle pulls off both better than anyone we have seen. Plus, we admire the guts it must have taken to walk into the maternity store and say, ‘Give me a big stack of the lowest-cut dresses you have.’ “

Christina Aguilera, currently eight months pregnant, came second in the list.

Victoria’s Secret model Heidi Klum - who has three children, secured third position because of her ability to “make maternity clothes look like Victoria’s Secret outfits”.

The top five was finished off by American model Brooke Burke and former ‘No Doubt’ singer Gwen Stefani.

Angelina Jolie, Naomi Watts, Jaime Pressly and Monica Belluci completed the top nine.

Here’s Maxim.com’s Nine Hottest Pregnant Women Ever:

2. Christina Aguilera

3. Heidi Klum

4. Brooke Burke

5. Gwen Stefani

6. Angelina Jolie

7. Naomi Watts

8. Jaime Pressly

Reese Witherspoon and Angelina Jolie named highest paid actress

Reese Witherspoon has been named the No. 1 highest paid actress in Hollywood. The ‘Rendition’ star is said to be earning $15 to $20 million per movie. Angelina Jolie placed second on the list with the same price range.

‘Shrek’ star Cameron Diaz comes in third with $15 million followed by Nicole Kidman with an asking price of $10 to $15 million. Renee Zellweger, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts also land in fourth place with similar checks.

Drew Barrymore and Jodie Foster round out the top ten with $10 to $12 million per film. Halle Berry also makes the list with an even $10 million asking price.

Johansson: 'Make my butt look great'

Scarlett Johansson was so insecure about having her bum on show in the opening sequence to hit film 'Lost in Translation', she resorted to bribing the artistic director to make it look flattering.

The award-winning actress, who plays a Lolita-type temptress in the 2004 production, told the man in charge of the slow, lingering sequence panning over her semi-transparent knickers, to make her bum look pretty - or he would lose his job.

She says, "I told the director of photography that if he made my arse look bad he'd never work again!

"He was like, 'I promise you - it will look really nice.' I said, 'OK, I'm trusting you,' and he came through. My arse looked OK."

Gemma Atkinson plans chocolate treat for boyfriend

Janice Dickinson, who claims to have had 1,000 lovers - has been giving Gemma Atkinson bedroom tricks in the jungle.

The former supermodel reckons a bar of choccie is a very erotic thing to smother all over your body.

'Janice was on about using melted chocolate,' Gemma told co-contestant J, reports the Daily Star.

'She said I should roll about in it. It sounds amazing. But to be quite honest, I'd probably be far too busy eating it.'

The ex-Hollyoaks beauty, 23 - who was linked to Cristiano Ronaldo - is now rumoured to be dating Marcus Bent.

Britney Spears' Vagina To Write Its Own Monologue

Britney Spears, the snot-nosed Princess of Pop, has revealed her plans to enter into the world of literary excellence by contributing to the Vagina Monologues - with a piece written by her very own vagina.

Spears, unable to write herself, has had her vagina produce the monologue independently and 'in its spare time', so that her busy schedule of court appearances and drug rehab visits is not compromised.

Indeed, the Spears' vagina is thought to be interested in developing a solo career, possibly in literature, but more probably in modelling, having been photographed many times in the past when its owner, dressed in the shortest of skirts, emerged from parked cars.

No details of the monologue are known as yet, but it's bound to be a hit.

Literist or clitorist, it seems that the future is extremely bright for Miss Spears' vagina, which is more than can be said for Britney herself.

Heidi Klum's breast boast

The supermodel Heidi Klum can be seen playing with her breasts in the new TV commercial for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

In the 30 second clip, the 34-year-old blonde - clad only in a plain black bra - fondles and jiggles her ample boobs as she sings, dances, yodels and announces "I've got great knockers!"

After explaining how her nipples stand to attention when it's cold, Heidi shouts: "You guys have no clue about boobs, and if you don't..."

Heidi then grabs her chest and makes a machine gun sound as she aims her breasts left and right, in the manner of a fembot killer robot from the 'Austin Powers' films, who could fire bullets from their breasts.

The commercial ends with v grinning as she declares: "Great knockers, I loooove it!"

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs on December 4.

Heidi is not embarrassed to talk about her sexuality and womanly desires.

She recently revealed she was first attracted to husband Seal after seeing his impressive "package" in a pair of tiny, tight shorts.

Heidi confessed: "I met him in a hotel lobby in New York City and he came in from the gym and I was sitting there and I was, like, 'Wow!'

"He was wearing bicycle shorts and I pretty much saw everything. The whole package."

The couple have two sons, two-year-old Henry and Johan, who is one today (22.11.07). Heidi also has a three-year-old daughter, Leni, from a previous relationship.
