2007-07-31
Keira Knightley is all set to play the 18th century aristocrat Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire, in Saul Dibb's The Duchess.
The film is adapted from Amanda Foreman's bestselling biography of the controversial royal, who has been called the Princess Diana of her time, reports a magazine.

Meanwhile, Keira has just completed filming The Edge Of Love for director John Maybury and is starring with James McAvoy in Joe Wright's film Atonement, which opens the Venice Film Festival late next month.

‘Posh’new look for the Beckhams
2007-07-28
Call them style chameleons that mirror each other's ever changing appearances, or the ‘it' couple that never seems to have a ‘bad fashion day'. DT traces the biggest style highs and yes... some lows as well that have typified the ‘Beckham look' over the years, culminating into almost a decade of style...
Ever since they hooked up in 1998, Victoria and David Beckham aka ‘Posh' and ‘Becks' have never failed to wow their eager spectators who've lapped up their every chic change with manic gusto. It was at their engagement in January 1998 that the pair sported similar floppy hairstyles, with a more plumper and less posh Posh and a boyishly shy Becks posing for shutterbugs, minus the well-practiced poses they soon perfected.
After the birth of their first son Brooklyn in March 1999, Posh ditched her floppy bob and went for a spikier style - a hairstyle that complemented Beck's then buzz cut. But it was the matching biker look that bowled everyone over at a party in 2000, where the duo turned up in identical leather pants and jackets.
Around 2001-2002 shortly after second son Romeo arrived on the scene, Posh started losing weight like crazy - a phase British tabloids referred to as the ‘Heroin chic' look of the couple. Posh grew her hair and so did Becks. Both also went in for the same peroxide blonde hair colour and their attire too reflected a more Bohemian feel with plenty of grungy torn jeans for Becks, lacy tops for Posh and chunky silver jewellery that the couple adorned themselves with. And then came chestnut hair extensions and jazzed-up glamour when Posh and Becks made their fashionable presence felt at a music awards in the US in 2003.
When the Bechkams moved to Madrid in 2004, the influence of the Mediterranean was evident in their then style statements. It was during this phase, from 2004 to 2006 - in the middle of which the couple had their third son Cruz - that Posh fully developed her pout and a penchant for skinny jeans that she even went on to design herself. Becks decided to go ‘holy' with a vengeance wearing rosary beads by the dozens.
LA was the place where Posh decided to go all ‘valley girl' after the couple's move there earlier this month. With a wardrobe full of tiny little dresses, and an uber-trendy platinum bob, Posh has LA written all over her botoxed forehead. Becks on the other hand has experimented with a shaggy platinum crop, which he has very recently traded in for a buzz cut.
It's always ‘Posh' new looks for the Beckhams! So, what's the next look gonna be guys? How about the ‘surfer' look, now that Becks wants to perfect his surfing skills?

Alba’s engagement caused rift with her parents
2007-07-14
Jessica Alba admits her relationship with her parents became incredibly strained after she accepted former boyfriend Michael Weatherly's proposal at the young age of 20. Alba and Weatherly met on the sets of the hit series Dark Angel and apart from playing lovers onscreen, they also started a romantic relationship off-screen. However, Alba's parents Max and Catherine were not amused when she accepted Weatherly's marriage proposal at the age of 20. Now, Alba admits that her parents were right to worry. "I don't know why I got engaged. I was a virgin. He was 12 years older than me. I thought he knew better. My parents weren't happy," a website quoted her, as saying. Alba also puts their disapproval down to the fact that her parents are both very religious people. "They're really religious. They believe God wouldn't allow The Bible to be written if it wasn't what they are supposed to be believing in. I'm completely different," she added. Alba and Weatherly were together for four years before they called off their relationship and went their separate ways. She is now dating Cash Warren, a director's assistant.

The secret of Jones’ shiny hair
2007-07-10
Catherine Zeta-Jones has found a new way to keep her hair strong and shiny - caviar. The Oscar winning star keeps her tresses in shape by indulging in caviar treatment. And, it also isn't any fish eggs that will do for her beauty therapy, but the £200 Beluga caviar that is apparently flown in from Iran five days ahead of her treatments. A source revealed that Jones discovered the treatment last year, and now swears by it. "Catherine discovered the caviar treatment last summer and was astounded by the difference it made to her hair," a tabloid quoted the source, as saying. "She has an incredibly rich and vibrant natural hair colour but the creamy, almost oily nature of caviar really brings this out, making the colour even richer and making it so much more glossy," the source added. And not only does the treatment not come cheap, but it's also time consuming, for it takes two-hours to complete. During that time at a celebrity salon, Jones' hair is washed with a truffle-based shampoo, then smeared with the caviar, which is combed through and left to set. However, while she wiles her time away at the salon, the star does get to nibble on caviar canapes. Nice, eh? ANI

Jolie admits she misjudged beau Brad
2007-07-05
Angelina Jolie had thought that beau Brad Pitt would be a lot like the self-absorbed stars in Hollywood, and readily admits that her impression of him was wrong. Jolie reveals to a magazine that she had never picked Brad to be the kind of person who would be interested in politics, or helping other people, or would even make a good father.
However, she realised just how badly she had judged him soon after they started working on Mr and Mrs Smith. "I wouldn't have, from a distance, said, ‘That's a man who would be an amazing, dedicated father,' or ‘That's a man who truly loves helping people or whom I'd love to talk politics with.' He's a lot more than people assume he is," she said. And the actor has certainly been one of her rocks, especially after she lost her mother earlier this year. Jolie reveals that Brad helps her overcome periodical dark moments in her life by listening to her, and giving her ‘wonderful advice'. "I've had that problem in my life, where if I get emotional, I tend to just go and sit by myself. But he is a great listener, and he has given me wonderful advice," she says. ANI
