Two Picassos painted late in the artist’s career and a Giacometti bronze brought solid prices at Christie’s on Wednesday night in what was a surprising reversal of tastes and trends. Two Picassos painted late in the artist’s career and a Giacometti bronze brought solid prices at Christie’s on Wednesday night in what was a surprising reversal of tastes and trends. Where Sotheby’s had failed to sell its top Picasso and Giacometti at its Impressionist and modern art auction on Tuesday night, just 24 hours later Christie’s received bids from around the world. His portrait of a musketeer smoking a pipe was sold for $14.6m (£9.7m), while another painting, A Woman with a Hat, fetched $7.7m (£5.1m). Lots at the Christie's auction sold for a combined total of $103m (£68.65m). At a rival Sotheby's sale earlier this week, Picasso's portrait of his daughter Maya went unsold. The Daughter Of The Artist At Two-and-a-half Years With A Boat had been expected to fetch up to $24m (£16m). Pab...

The new film star trek, directed by J.J. Abrams, takes "Trek" back to the early days of the USS Enterprise with a young Capt. James T. Kirk and his crew. 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...

Moulin Rouge actress Nicole Kidman has spoken out about her unhappy marriage to superstar Tom Cruise saying that she felt stifled in the relationship. Nicole Kidman wasn’t expecting to find love with Keith Urban. “I didn’t foresee it, that you can meet somebody who you have a deep and more profound love with,” the actress - who divorced Tom Cruise in 2001 “I don’t mean to take away anything with Tom, but I would hope that he has the same thing - I know he has the same thing with Katie,” Kidman adds. “You move into a stage where you’re able to be a more fuller person in your relationship.” She continues, “I want to be really careful with that because I don’t want to take away from 11 years with that man that were really important. Really, for our kids — they were amidst a lot of love. It wasn’t bad. And now we’re amidst a more evolved love.” Does she have any regrets about marrying Cruise at the young age of 22? “Um, no.
