Actress Jessica Biel says she 'would love' to star in a film with beau Justin Timberlake. Gee....is it me or does it seem like Jessica Biel is really, really desperate for attention lately? First came the interview with Allure Magazine in which the 27 year-old actress blamed her stalling career on her beauty.Next came the announcement that she still regrets dropping out of college, and would have passed on the opportunity to star in the 2003 "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake if she had the choice to make again.

Danica Patrick, who is one of the most recognized figures in sports, has won only one IndyCar Series race. She will be competing this weekend in the Indianapolis 500 for the fifth time. Danica Patrick starts in the 10th spot in Sunday's Indianapolis 500. She won't know whether fans will tune in to see her try to become the first female Indy 500 winner, or because they caught a glimpse of her strapped to the hood of a silver Ford Cobra in this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. Cynics say Danica Patrick is the Tiger Woods of open-wheel racing - without the victories. It's not her fault she topped Woods and New England Patriots stud Tom Brady as the most-searched-for online athlete of 2008, according to an AOL study. She happens to look better in a bikini, as she demonstrated in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Beyond the ogling, though, the 5-foot-2, 100-pound driver from Roscoe, Ill., is an accomplished and talented open-wheel competitor. She proved that

"Amongst all that furor, there wasn't really a quiet moment to talk," Queen guitarist Brian May told Rolling Stone in an interview released on Friday. "But and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with at some point. It's not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn't that easy. But I'd certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there," May told the magazine in an e-mail exchange. The runner up Adam Lambert is renown for his brilliant talent, vocal prowess, theatricality as well as the edginess of black nail polish and guyliner he brought to the season 8 of American Idol and praised no less by winner Kris Allen who upon winning famously said, “Adam deserves this.” During t

After giving birth to her son, Howard was told to keep her pregnancy weight. Most Hollywood actresses try to get rid of the baby weight as soon as possible to get back down to their svelte bodies, but for her role in Terminator, Bryce Dallas Howard was encouraged to keep the baby weight on. Howard had recently given birth to son Theo, now 2, when McG, the director of Terminator Salvation, offered her the role of Kate, the wife of the film's hero John Connor, played by Christian Bale. "I had a pregnant body with no child in it," she told PEOPLE at the movie's Los Angeles premiere Thursday. Howard, 28, says she was offered the part over the phone, so wasn't sure how to tell her director about her post-baby figure. "I was so excited, but then was just kind of waiting to tell him, 'I'm not in great shape right now,' " she says. But when she did break the news to McG, "He said, 'Oh, that's okay. [Kate's] really pregnant. That'

Dark horse Kris Allen wins "American Idol" Arkansas student Kris Allen won the eighth season of "American Idol" on Wednesday, dealing an unexpected defeat to singing rival Adam Lambert on the most popular U.S. television show. Allen, 23, who won over audiences with his all-American good looks and by putting his personal spin on popular tunes, appeared shocked as Lambert, a 27-year-old musical theater actor, embraced him after host Ryan Seacrest's announcement. Allen's smooth vocals and boy-next-door image gave him the edge after nearly 100 million viewer votes were cast, turning the theatrical Lambert into the most unlikely of also-rans. When the season started, Allen seemed unsure he had a right to take center stage, let alone stand there and snatch victory from such a formidable rival. During his "Idol" audition last summer, Allen, hands in his pockets and a newsboy cap pulled down around his eyes, was asked by the judges if he was the best singe

Crooner Kris Allen won "American Idol" on Wednesday, besting eyeliner-wearing belter Adam Lambert. Kris Allen may have looked bone tired at the end of his nearly year-long marathon to take the American Idol crown, but he was nothing but chatty when EW spoke with the champeen one-on-one in the post-finale "Winner's Walk." With his mother and wife patiently waiting on a nearby bench, Allen gamely talked about why he's still surprised he's done as well as he has on the show, when he and Adam Lambert learned they would be rocking out with Queen, how he formed his lasting bond with the glam rocker, and which Oscar winners nearly brought him to tears. Another possible factor in Allen's win: Those who had been voting for Danny Gokey switched their votes to Allen. "After the third one leaves, you wonder where do the votes go from that third contestant," judge Paula Abdul said after the finale, according to the Associated Press. Kris Allen Post Show

Now Call them the "dark horse," the "Come-from-Behind Kid," the humble crooner. Call them whatever you like. But from now on you also need to call your "American Idol." After months of competition and a jam-packed finale 'Kris Allen and Adam Lambert' performed on the Idol stage at the Nokia Theatre Wednesday night in a musical spectacular before learning the results of a little less than 100 million votes. Actually, America’s decision will be a point of considerable debate in the next day and maybe even days beyond that — with just under 100 million votes cast, dark horse Kris Allen beat out Adam Lambert, who for weeks has been considered the all-but-inevitable champ. This is the biggest upset in eight seasons. The result was an even bigger surprise considering that — as even Kris’s supporters would concede — Adam gave the stronger performance on the Tuesday performance show. Simon anointed him a “worldwide star.” Just before the vote was announ

Jackson fans won't be thrilled or necessarily surprised by this news. Michael Jackson has pushed back his London concert dates by five days, The show's director, Kenny Ortega, and exec producer, Randy Phillips, blamed the delay from July 8 to July 13. on the spectacle's technical complexities, not Jackson's health or preparedness. Three makeup performances of the show, called "This Is It," will be scheduled for next March. Concert promoters AEG Live said the delay was necessary because the singer needed more time for dress rehearsals.The first show, on 8 July, has been pushed back by five nights. Three other July dates will not take place until March 2010. The delays immediately stoked speculation that Jackson's health is poor, but promoters said the issue was a production snag. Some 750,000 tickets to the "This Is It" tour sold out within hours in March, AEG said. Die-hard fans made plans to travel from overseas, and promoters said Wednesday tha

Don't ever say that Madonna and her new toy boy Jesus Luz have nothing in common. MADONNA has denied reports she is to marry her toyboy lover, but they appeared very much the happy family as the couple, both in white, and the singer's children went to a Kabbalah service in New York. Madonna has a special reason for being hung up on the Brazilian hunk half her age -- he's a Kabbalist too. Luz, 22, began to study Jewish mysticism with Leonardo Reis, manager of the Kabbalah Center in Rio, six months before he met the 50-year-old Material Girl at their steamy magazine photo shoot in Rio last December, the New York Post reported. And when the two were pictured stepping out of the New York centre dressed alike, tongues had been left wagging that they were now man and wife, reports the Daily Express. But the Queen of Pop, who ended her marriage with Guy Ritchie officially earlier this year, insisted that the pair had attended a normal service. Madonna Marrying Boyfriend Jesus Lu

'American Idol' fans: How many times have you voted for Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey or Kris Allen? Danny Gokey is dancing off "American Idol," leaving showy Adam Lambert and twangy Kris Allen to duke it out in the finale of the popular Fox singing competition next week. It's down to the final hours of American Idol! After this tense results show, only two singers are left in the battle to become America's next Idol.

Which guy is going home? Either Lambert, a 27-year-old theater actor from San Diego, or Allen, a 23-year-old college student from Conway, Ark., will be crowned "Idol" next Wednesday. Cowell said Allen's totally stripped-down version of Kanye West's "Heartless" on Tuesday made him a contender for the finale.

An antimatter explosion threatens to level the Vatican in the movie adaptation of the thriller "Angels and Demons," but real-world physicists are unfazed by this plot. What do you remember about the film version of “The Da Vinci Code,” exactly? I remember two things. One is Jean Reno’s surprising show of feeling when his character, the weaselly French police inspector, learned he had been betrayed. For a brief, shining moment all the plot mechanics mattered in human terms. Three years ago, the film based on Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code" was the focus of protest and controversy, with a Vatican archbishop calling for a boycott and Catholics at many levels refuting plot points.But when it comes to the new film based on a Brown novel, "Angels & Demons," star Tom Hanks says talk of controversy is much ado about nothing. One part of "Angels and Demons" may have come true, although unrelated to antimatter. The fictional plot includes ret

It's great that Joss Stone is coming back for The Tudors' fourth season, but considering her character outlived Henry himself and remained associated with him, she kind of needed to, didn't she?

Last month Joss told how she is launching a hair dye range. She also slammed her record label for delaying her next album 'Colour Me Free'.

She previously said: "I was just telling the truth and I was saving these girls from going out there and being told that they're too short, too fat, their skin's not good enough.”

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times from August, but held at Fawcett's request until now, the actress said that the gravity of her struggle with anal cancer was exacerbated by having to endure it under public scrutiny. Fawcett said she had long suspected tabloids were getting a constant flow of information on her condition from inside the UCLA Medical Center, the hospital where she was being treated. "When Farrah would see an eye doctor, there would be a tabloid report she was going blind; when she got a pap smear, they'd say she was having a hysterectomy,"So when Fawcett's doctor told her that her cancer had returned in 2007, she deliberately withheld the news from her friends and family in order to prove that someone from the hospital was

I advise all students in Malta to have a look at the manner in which Susan Boyle and Paul Potts hit their examiners and those who judged them prematurely, on Britain Has Talent. In the case of Susan Boyle, Judge Number 1 sniggered when she announced the nature of her song. Judge Number 2's facial expressions and head turning said it all, while Judge Number 3 cleared her throat, shook her head and distorted her lips, and three women in the audience showed their disapproval by creasing their faces in a demeaning fashion, intended to lower and ridicule the competitor's dignity.

Star Trek hasn't often needed big box office numbers, due to their existing cult audience. But Star Trek box office returns were at record lows when the Next Generations franchise ended, which made the need for a reboot even greater. Star Trek is on its way to boldly going where no Star Trek movie has gone before to a huge opening weekend. The film bowed at 7 p.m. Thursday night and grossed an impressive $7 million in 3849 locations. Sure, those numbers were boosted by the geeky fanboys who were salivating to catch the movie as soon as possible. Still, such a great start should help propel Star Trek 's weekend gross to as high as $75 million. Quite impressive for a franchise that was considered dead a few years ago. For more news..

The marketing for Star Trek has said, “This is not your father’s Star Trek,” and by the end of the film the mythology of Trek may indeed not belong to your old man, but the catchphrases and character quirks make it hard to separate 2009’s Trek from the 1960s original that started it all. Director J.J. Abrams has pieced together a film that is light on story, heavy on convenience, weak in villainy and perfection in character and casting. It’s a mixed bag to be certain, but in the end it is a lot of fun. From the outset, Star Trek alters the 40+ year mythology of the classic series, asking die-hard fans to give in to the film and not concern themselves with what they know. This is a film more determined to build a quality cast of characters rather than concern itself with timeline’s and the history of the franchise as it has b

Victoria Beckham is one star who is always dressed to the nines. Did you know she doesn’t have a stylist? She does have an entourage of make-up and hair people, but no one to put it all together for her as if she was a Barbie Doll. And that’s a good thing! We confess we were miffed when Victoria Beckham went nuts for Christian Siriano's collection in the Project Runway season finale and proclaimed she would love, even feel honored, to wear his clothes. Beckham may not be known for her minimalist fashion sense (when Roberto Cavalli designs your tour clothes, subtlety just isn't for you), but even we were surprised she went so gaga for Siriano's ruffle-and-feather parade.

Christina Aguilera is heading to the big screen! Pop star Christina Aguilera will make her feature film debut in the musical "Burlesque." Gossipers question the career move, citing other singers who have failed in their big-screen efforts. Aguilera has won four Grammy Awards, a Latin Grammy and has sold more than 25 million albums. Although she has never starred in a film, she lent her voice to the 2004 animated flick, Shark Tale and performed the title song in 2001's Moulin Rouge with Pink, Lil' Kim and Maya. The film, which has many links to Bob Fosse's Cabaret, will begin filming late this year. The film is scheduled to begin shooting late this year. Let's just hope the studio behind the project, Screen Gems, has better luck with this movie than their current film driven by a big name pop goddess. That movie, the thriller "Obsessed," starring Beyonce Knowles, managed to eke out surprise box office success in spite of being universally panned.

Friends of Lindsay Lohan have claimed that she is still drinking despite her spell in rehab. The actress recently checked out of the Cirque Lodge rehab centre, but allegedly succumbed to the temptation of alcohol at a Thanksgiving dinner last week. Lindsay took her 15 year-old sister Ali to Nylon's Young Hollywood party at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on Monday but refused to let photographers at the event take photos of her and her sis sitting together. Before she whisked her sister away to Hawaii for a little family vacation, Lindsay was also spotted partying with Ali at Hollywood hotspot MyHouse. Only problem is the nightclub is strictly 21 and older. "The club promoter asked Ali to leave twice before she was finally escorted out," a partygoer tells Hollyscoop. Lindsay isn't exactly being the best role model for Ali, but than again, the alternative is Dina Lohan, who really isn't any better.

By The News NEW YORK (Reuters): British actress Tilda Swinton says drinking just makes her sleepy or sick so when seeking inspiration to play a loud, hard-partying alcoholic in her latest film, she turned to her friends. The self-confessed "art world freak," who won a best supporting actress Oscar last year for "Michael Clayton," plays a 40-year-old flamboyant, lying alcoholic in "Julia," which opens in some U.S. theaters on Friday. "I'm so aware very often when you see alcoholism in films, people tend to emphasize something that I don't really recognize in the alcoholics I know and love, which is a kind of loser quality," Swinton told Reuters in a recent interview. "I don't think of alcoholics as losers, particularly. Alcoholics tend to number the most energetic and fantastic people I know. So I was always thinking it would be nice to look at that kind of portrait," she said. Swinton, 48, confessed that due to her own drink
