GREY'S ANATOMY star KATE WALSH has applauded JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT for hitting out at the media for criticising recent bikini photographs that showed her in a less than flattering light.
Hewitt was snapped in her black two-piece swimsuit last week (ends30Nov07) as she enjoyed a dip in the sea - but the Ghost Whisperer star's larger-than-usual bottom soon became the subject of ridicule on many celebrity blogs.
Hewitt then posted a message on her website saying she is content with her figure, but is unhappy that comments on her weight will put young girls under more pressure to diet.
And Walsh, who was photographed wearing a bikini while relaxing with her new husband on Thanksgiving Day (22Nov07), has defended Hewitt's right to sunbathe without having to worry about tabloid criticism of her physique.
Walsh says, "She's a person and she's not being lit in a studio and made up, or airbrushed, or wardrobed, and it's not a fat thing - you're on a beach and you're on vacation."

Walsh Defends Hewitt Over Bikini Controversy
Shahrukh Khan On Being Sexy, Smoking And BCCI
BCCI’s accusation: First of all, not everyone in BCCI thought I was promoting my film at the matches. It was just this one gentleman who thought so. But, some of the other officials felt otherwise. And honestly, they’ve always been very kind to me. But, at the same time, it’s a bit disappointing. The other day, I’d gone to see my son’s Taekwon-do, and I don’t think it was for any promotion. I might also practice soccer with my son and his school mates once a week. I used to be a sportsperson in college and I’ve just gone back to my old love. All this is not for any promotion. Well, let me clarify that my films don’t need promotion.
The sexiest man: I think I’m sexy, in a different kind of way. But I’m more sensual than sexy. Sexiness is just a state of the mind. I’m not saying that I’ve not seen people with good bodies who’re sexy, even I have one! Sensuality is an inherent part of all human beings. So, while some say my humour is sexy, others think the way I carry myself is sexy it varies you see!
Salman was called SRK: I think I’ve been mistaken as Salman more than often. Once, at an airport, a girl chased me from one terminal to another, till I finally told her to hand me the paper she was carrying, so that I could autograph it. To which she said, ‘Thanks Akshay!’, so I signed ‘Akshay’. So, I’ve been referred to by a number of names. If someone is called by my name, they too shouldn’t get offended.
Mr Amitabh Bachchan & SRK: I know what my relationship with Mr Bachchan is. Our relationship is wonderful and we don’t have to judge it by reading the tabloids. We work together, we meet, and I’m really fond of Abhishek. Both of them were a part of my film, and I’ve been a part of theirs. People think we’re diplomatic. Even if we have our differences, we’re too well-educated to make them public. But, at the same time, we haven’t really had any differences. In fact, he’s fond of me.
No smoking in public: Smoking is a bad thing, and no one should follow me in this. Also, I wear my hair and clothes in a certain way so! You don’t have to put me on a pedestal. I’m an entertainer and should be taken that way. I pay my taxes and that’s legal. I smoke, which again is legal. I don’t do anything that’s illegal. In fact, I would request photographers not to click me when I’m smoking.

NICOLE KIDMAN'S DREAM MOVIE
Nicole, 40, said: "It's just extraordinary in epic-ness. This is the kind of film that I dreamt of making as a little girl." "For 'Moulin Rouge' we did everything in the studio but for this we've been on location the entire time - in Darwin, up in Queensland and then camping out in tents in the middle of the desert."
"The Golden Compass" star also admitted one of the best things about working on fellow Australian, Luhrmann's World War II romantic epic was filming without a green screen - the industry term for working with computer generated images. She said: "Green screen is definitely not my favorite thing. I became an actor because I wanted to act with other actors."
"That's been the beauty of Baz's film - you are on location breathing the air, feeling the impact of the sunsets." "With something like 'The Golden Compass' you really have to use your imagination, and it's a different challenge." "But it's where movies are heading. 'Australia' is the last of a dying breed and this is part of the new wave."

WILL SMITH Daughter Wants To Be PARIS HILTON
WILL SMITH has already made a star out of one of his children – son Jaden, 9, who costarred in 2006's The Pursuit of Happyness. Now, the acting bug has bitten again in the family.
Smith's daughter Willow, 7, makes her onscreen debut in his sci-fi thriller I Am Legend, due in theaters Dec. 14. "She has a drive," Smith tells PEOPLE. "She has an energy and she just connects to human emotion. I think a big part was probably [seeing] Jaden after The Pursuit of Happyness. She saw what Jaden did, and she was like, 'I want that.'"
Still, there shouldn't be too much tension between the young Smiths. Smith says they have different styles – and goals. "Jaden is [like] Johnny Depp," Smith says. "He just wants to do good work . . . He loves acting, he just wants to make good movies.
"And Willow is Paris Hilton," Smith says, laughing. "Willow wants to be on TV." Smith says his daughter's strong personality contributes to her impressive work ethic. "You don't work with Willow," Smith says, teasing. "You work for Willow."
In one grueling outdoor sequence for I Am Legend, temperatures dropped well below zero, Smith says – but that didn't stop his daughter from finishing her scenes. "Willow was out there and she has her stuff on and she's cold and she's getting a little irritable. And she looks at me and says, "Daddy, I don't care how low it goes. I'm going to finish.'
Continues Smith: "I was like, 'Wow, that's good baby, because Daddy's leaving if it goes any lower then that 1. Another reason for the strong sense of professionalism: Will and Jada Smith make their children audition for their films. But when they told Willow she nabbed the role in I Am Legend, Smith says she turned to her brother, already a screen veteran, stuck out her tongue and teasingly taunted him

Mariah Carey Barely Costumes
This is ridiculous.
It appears that Mariah Carey has an assistant for every occasion. Someone to do her hair. Someone to hold her straw while she sips a drink. And, now, she has an assistant to make sure her Busty St Clair’s don’t bounce out of her barely there costumes.
It could be worse, I guess. I’d hate to see what Toilet Paper Assistant has to do.

Daily News lists Top 50 Dumbest People in Hollywood
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER:
And the most contrived list of the week award goes to ...
Entertainment Weekly magazine, which waded through the intellectual wasteland of Los Angeles to create a list of the 50 smartest people in Hollywood, released the list Thursday.
"Knocked Up" creator Judd Apatow leads the brainiac pack, with Ben Affleck holding up the back end at No. 50.

Picking through the cerebral corridors of America's most vapid city seems a daunting task.
An easier route: The "Top 50 Dumbest People in Hollywood."
Dumb doesn't necessarily correspond to a low IQ. There are poor life choices, style slipups and mishaps under the influence to take into account.

The rest of the top five:
1. Lindsay Lohan Getty
2. Kim Kardashian - because it is sad when you leak your sex tape and nobody cares.

Tila Tequila doesn’t swing both ways
“She's made out with some girls in her past, as all girls have, but she is not bi at all." Our insider claims that MTV works hard to pretend she's single and available because she refuses to break up with her boyfriend, "who's like five years older than her. This is a massive scam . . . That's why they are not continuing with the show [for a second season], because she won't dump him."
And for those of you who think Tila seems pretty cool on the show, surprise, she’s a bitch:
Tequila has also been acting like "a diva" and become a "nightmare to work with," said the source. "She arrives late and doesn't talk to any of the contestants between takes. She complains she has too much going on."
I don’t believe a word of this. If Tila wasn’t really bi-sexual, they’d break it down for me on The Hangover. You know, that cleverly-named investigative journalism show that comes on after A Shot at Love. Each week they interview a different contestant who gives deep, revelatory answers like “I can’t really say, you’ll just have to watch next week’s episode.” And I do!

Mayawati bans 'Aaja Nachle' for derogatory song
The film, which marks the return of Bollywood queen Madhuri Dixit, was released on Friday and expected to be a hit at the box office.
Mayawati also shot off a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urging him to ban the movie across the country.
The chief minister has taken strong exception to a particular line in a song, which, according to her, was derogatory to a section of Dalits.
Principal secretary to the chief minister Shailesh Krishna told IANS: "A song in the movie contained certain derogatory insinuations against a particular Dalit community, which was also in violation of the spirit of the Indian Constitution."
Confirming enforcement of the government order, Lucknow District Magistrate Chandra Bhanu said: "We have already ensured that the screening of the film is stopped with immediate effect."
According to him, "All current shows of the film in different movie halls have been stopped."
Punjab too bans Aaja Nachle
The Punjab government banned Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit's comeback movie Aaja Nachle on Saturday over an alleged derogatory insinuation to Dalits in a song. Uttar Pradesh has already banned the movie.
The Punjab government acted against Aaja Nachle even as the movie’s producers had announced the deletion of the ‘derogatory’ lines in the wake of the UP action.

That is Wonder Woman and I think it's a pretty great choice, aesthetically speaking. And doing a quick google search got me some more pretty pics:
And even some pics I shouldn't post here because they're Not Safe For Work... cough-cough.
She definitely looks like a Goddess... let's hope the acting talent matches the beauty. Thoughts?

"DHAN DHANA DHAN GOAL" REVIEW
Cast: John Abraham, Arshad Warsi, Bipasha Basu Direction: Vivek Agnihotri
One man's dream takes the team on a remarkable journey in this football-themed drama.Shaan (Arshad Warsi) takes up the challenge to save the club from extinction. After a disesteemed ex-player, Tony Singh (Boman Irani) joins them as the coach, in spite of the being sniggered, and laughed at, he and Shaan, work to gather the worn out team. Its hard work as they approach their first game.Sunny Bhasin's (John Abraham) dream to play for England crashes after his club does not select him.
The reason is apparently not his game but the color of his skin. Sunny himself had always laughed at his own community and Southall United. Sunny and Shaan could not ever see eye to eye. Adding to their personal chaos is Shaan's cousin sister Rumana (Bipasha Basu) who is in love with Sunny.Tony manages to convince Sunny to play for Southall United. It takes a while before Shaan and the team warms up to Sunny. With Sunny joining Southall United the team gradually starts climbing the points tally.
The city council is worried.The only goal that the pragmatic Sunny has - is winning - with all of the material perks and fame that he can acquire. He is more interested in being noticed himself, than Southall United winning the cup.Johny Bakshi (Dalip Tahil) a commentator and a frontman of the council, plan to lure Sunny away from Southall United.
Sunny will need to sacrifice everything he believed in for something which he never believed. His love for Rumana, his relationship with his father and his life are at stake.Set within this is a contemporary story of the Asian community in UK told through the dynamic prism of professional sports.
Competitive football only provides the action-packed backdrop, as the story takes an intimate look at a cross-section of Indians, Pakistanis and other Asians living in England.

"STRANGERS" heroine Jimmy Refuses To Kiss
Jimmy refuses to kissNandana in STRANGERS
We have heard of heroines backing off and refusing to do kissing scenes in Bollywood.
But according to the source on the sets of "STRANGERS", surprisingly Jimmy Shergill backed out of the lip lock scene with Nandana Sen on the day of the shoot.
According to reports, it was supposed to a very emotional intimate moment between Jimmy and Nandana that culminates in the lip lock. Director Anand Rai had earlier explained to Jimmy about the scene which required the actors to kiss. Though the director was a bit skeptical whether Nandana would do it, he was apparently caught off guard when Jimmy refused to do it.
But director Anand Rai justifies his lead actor, "Though I had explained the scene, I understand that actor sometime are not comfortable doing intimate scenes on screen. When I set out to make Strangers, I was clear that my film was about relationship. Therefore a kissing scene with Nandana or the semi-nude scene of Sonali Kulkarni, though important for the emotional turmoil the character goes, I was always flexible for options and pointers from the star cast."
When Jimmy was asked for his reaction he clarified that, when he heard the initial narration from the director he was sure, it wasn't a must do sequence in the film and made it clear that he didn't want to do it. According to him even the director understood it and was cool about the whole issue.
Lip lock or no lip lock in STRANGERS seems like Jimmy Shergill joins the bandwagon of actors like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan who do not kiss on screen!!
STRANGERS is slotted to release on December 7th 2007.

Bollywood star Dutt granted bail
Sanjay Dutt at a Mumbai court (file pic)
Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, jailed for buying weapons from bombers who attacked Mumbai in 1993, has been granted bail by India's Supreme Court.
Dutt, who was sentenced to six years in jail by a court in July, has been in prison since 23 October.
The actor was cleared of conspiracy, but found guilty of illegally possessing a rifle and a pistol.
Dutt is the most high-profile of 100 people convicted in connection with the blasts which killed 257 people.
Dutt, 48, is one of Bollywood's most bankable stars, and found fame playing gangsters and anti-heroes.
His trial generated huge interest among Bollywood fans across India.
The son of a Hindu father and Muslim mother, Dutt said the weapons were necessary in order to defend his family during the Hindu-Muslim rioting of 1993 that followed the destruction by Hindu zealots of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya.
The Mumbai blasts were allegedly carried out by Mumbai's (Bombay's) Muslim-dominated underworld in retaliation for the riots, in which most of those killed were Muslims.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Is A Successful Actress
Jennifer Love Hewitt is a successful actress, singer and songwriter. She can be seen weekly on the CBS television series “Ghost Whisperer”. We came across this photo and had to share it - and some other equally gorgeous pictures that have captured the sexy side of this Hollywood celebrity.

Britney Spears To Adopt Chinese Twins
POP shambles BRITNEY SPEARS is adopting Chinese twins:
This latest twist in the Britney saga comes after the recent news that hubby KEVIN FEDERLINE has been given full custody of the children Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James.
My snapper caught Britney, who still has access to the kids, enjoying a precious moment with her boys at her home in LA on Friday.
Friends feel that Britney has decided to adopt the two six-year-old tots from China in a frantic bid to fill the void left by losing her sons to K-Fed.
Britney's bad week got even worse when she was banned from driving with the kids in the car after she ran a red light in Hollywood.
And in another worrying move for the former Pop Princess, I can reveal she is splashing out £25,000 on her OWN funeral.
Apparently, Brit has forked out the cash because she fears her spiralling lifestyle may lead to an early grave.
The grim revelation has friends and family worried that Brit is growing increasingly depressed and that her unhealthy lifestyle is taking its toll.
But pals are baffled at the double whammy surprise.
A source close to Britney told me: "It doesn't seem that Britney has thought this through completely. Adoption and a funeral? The two don't exactly go hand-in-hand.
"Paying for a funeral is a sensible thing to do—but not when you're only 25!
"It's a case of too much, too soon with Britney.
"Not a week goes by without something strange happening to her now. She's doing herself no favours."
If Brit does go through with the adoption, she'll join the club of celeb mums who have done the same, including MADONNA and ANGELINA JOLIE.

Julia Roberts Slams Jolie’s Work and Thinks She is Whore-y
Another Angelina Jolie hater comes out of the closet.
Julia Roberts pretty much thinks her work in “A Mighty Heart” was total crap. Julia had some of her closest BFF’s over to watch the movie on DVD. I am sure they braided each others hair and played truth or dare afterward.
A reported “insider” just happened to mention to Star Magazine that Julia was super unimpressed with Angelina’s work in the film. She even voiced the fact that she could have done a better job than Jolie.
“I would rarely way this, but I think I could have done a better job with this film,’ Julia announced to her friends. And they loved her reaction,” says the source. “Angie isn’t exactly the most loved person in Hollywood.”
Julia Roberts also was one of the first to hear of Angelina’s flirting with Brad Pitt on the set of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Her husband, Danny Moder, was a cameraman for the film and revealed that the entire filming team knew what Angelina was up to. According to the source Danny told Julia that Angelina was making a blatant “play” for Mr. Pitt. They also reportedly called her “Spider-Woman” due to the fact it was painfully obvious she was “spinning a web” to catch him.
Oooo, it’s like being in the inner circle of the popular kids in high school. Now someone just needs to bring a rampant case of gonorrhea or prom-trash can baby into the picture.

Dubai lucky for me, says John Abraham at 'Goal' premiere
"It is good to be back in Dubai. It is a lucky place for me to have my films launched. I was here last for the premiere of 'Taxi 9211' and it worked," he said at the premiere of UTV Motion Pictures' "Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal" here Wednesday evening.
He was accompanied by Bipasha Basu, who also stars in the film, and director Vivek Agnihotri on the red carpet at the Grand Cineplex here.
He said Dubai was an apt place to have the premiere of "Goal" as the film has a very South Asian look.
"The film is about racism. It is about South Asians. And Dubai is the place where the whole of South Asia - India, Pakistan and Bangladesh - meets," the actor said.
"Goal" revolves around Southall United Football Club, a struggling South Asian team in Britain, facing its deepest crisis yet - bankrupt, with no stars, no coach, no sponsors, no takers, no spectators and most importantly no owner.
The city council sends an eviction notice to the club after its 30-year lease gets over. Now, Southall United must win the Combined Counties Football League for the prize money that will save the club from losing its ground.
Shaan (Arshad Warsi) takes up the challenge to save the club from extinction. Tony Singh (Boman Irani), a disesteemed former player of the club, joins them as the coach in spite of being sniggered and laughed at. He and Shaan then work to gather the worn out team comprising Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi players.
Enter Sunny Bhasin (John Abraham), a brilliant striker who dreams of playing for England but is not selected for an English football club he has trained with throughout the season. The reason: his skin colour.
Sunny himself had always laughed at his own community and Southall United. Sunny and Shaan could not ever see eye to eye. Adding to their personal chaos is Shaan's cousin sister Rumana (Bipasha Basu) who is in love with Sunny.
Tony manages to convince Sunny to play for Southall United. It takes a while before Shaan and the team warms up to Sunny and then the club starts shining in the league.
Bipasha Basu urged the audience to watch the film with an open heart.
"My role in the film is not much. But it is a wonderful film. Watch it with an open heart. Please be kind to us," she said.
Director Vivek Agnihotri said that the film was a product of good teamwork.
"I had some wonderful persons working as a team with me. This is the result of that. I don't have much to say. Whatever I have to say, I have said it in my film" he said.
The evening saw a good gathering of Indian expatriates, as also local Emiratis and other fans of Indian cinema, trying to catch a glimpse of the Bollywood stars.
Both John Abraham and Bipasha Basu willingly obliged autograph-seeking fans even as young girls - and an old man - screamed: "John, I love you!"
John also threw a miniature football at the crowd, while Bipasha presented another to a young fan.
"Lagaan" (2001) saw Aamir Khan playing a cricketing hero. Earlier this year, film buffs across the world saw Shah Rukh Khan playing the role of a hockey coach in "Chak De India". Both films ended up as megahits.
Can John Abraham repeat the feat as a football striker? Well, he has got Dubai on his side.
Britney Spears Is a Sex Liar, Private Dicker
We've been on a bit of a Britney fast lately (no Spears posts for three whole days!), as it's always good to flush your system of anything deep-fried or drenched in butter in the days leading up to Thanksgiving. But like Paula Deen to a deep-fried butter ball, we just couldn't stay away. Not when there's Brit's teenage sex life to talk about, y'all! Plus, we can't help but be interested in a story that involves a guy named Reg. We blame our youthful obsession with Elton John. Us Weekly reports:
Britney Spears made a name for herself as a happy, wholesome pop star who was saving herself for marriage.
But lawyer Eric Ervin, who worked with Spears as a teenager, tells Us Weekly in its new cover story that the "virgin" image Spears portrayed was, in his words, a "PR blitz." In fact, Us reports in its new issue that Spears lost her virginity at 14 to boyfriend Reg Jones, and that she and Justin Timberlake were intimate from the beginning.
Something Spears also kept secret: Her family's tragic history.
Us has learned that Spears' paternal grandmother, Emma Jean Spears, in June 1966 committed suicide at age 31. Britney's grandmother, who suffered from depression, shot herself in the chest with a shotgun at the grave of her infant son who had died eight years earlier just three days after being born.
A local newspaper article obtained by Us reported at the time: "The shotgun had been pressed against the woman's chest and she apparently pulled the trigger with a toe of the right foot from which a shoe had been removed." The newspaper reported that Emma Jean had attempted suicide three times before.
Emma Jean Spears left behind four other children, including Britney's father, Jamie Spears, then an eighth grader. Two of Jamie Spears' brothers ended up with criminal records and homeless.
OK, the dead-grandmother and homeless-uncles bit is a little depressing, but it sort of explains a few things, no? Like maybe she picked up her fashion sense from her favorite hobo uncle. Or maybe her granny's suicide is the only thing keeping Brit from laying down some Louisiana justice on the paparazzi. And as for the sex thing, this proves that Britney is indeed a responsible person; she was having sex for nearly ten years before she had any babies. That takes some planning. Assuming she was putting it in the right hole.
So now we know that Britney liked dick young, but she also likes her dick private. Reports TMZ:
Britney Spears is on the offensive in her ongoing battle with Fed-Ex. We're told the popwreck wants to prove she's not the only one who screws up.
Sources tell TMZ Brit has hired a P.I. company to dig up dirt on her ex. One source says, during their marriage, Spears witnessed K-Fed smoking dope and drinking beer around the kids. Brit's camp hopes they can get the goods and turn the tables in the custody battle.
What's she hoping to dig up? That Kevin is secretly breeding children to star in his underground baby-fighting ring? Because at this point we don't think that Kev sipping a few Coors (or even slipping some into the baby bottles) is going to get Britney her kids back. Plus, we're kind of surprised she's even trying. Her interest in her kids is so slight, we'd expect Brit to hire a private dick to dig up dirt on her to present in court.

November 22nd, 2007 - Remembering Michael Hutchence!
Tentatively titled Elegantly Wasted after the INXS album released the same year Hutchence died, the feature-length documentary will be directed by David Leaf of The US vs. John Lennon fame and is due for release in late 2008.
Set to include interviews from friends and celebrity colleagues of the Aussie rocker - including U2 frontman Bono - the film will chronicle Hutchence’s rise to fame through to his final downfall in Sydney’s Double Bay hotel the Ritz Carlton.
The announcement came as three of Hutchence’s band members remembered the iconic singer in an emotional statement on their website yesterday.
“Like many I choose not to focus on the death of Michael and instead prefer to celebrate his wonderful life,” Jon Farriss wrote.
“I miss Michael every day, but I’m one of the lucky ones who shared time with a beautiful soul who was on this earth far too short a time.”
Keyboardist Andrew Farris added: “As Michael’s friend and song writing partner of many years there is so much I feel at this time. I do not have enough words to convey my appreciation for having knowing Michael … God bless you Hutch.”
While the INXS band members will mark today in a private manner, hundreds of Hutchence fans will gather at the North Ryde Memorial Gardens on Saturday at 3pm to pay tribute to the much missed Sydney star.
More than likely one of INXS’s most recognizable tunes, ‘Devil Inside‘
