Angelina Jolie serious for movie about Afghanistan

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has revealed that she has been working on a script for a movie about Afghanistan but she is not very confident about it as of now.
"I don't even think it's good. Maybe I'll dig it out, but I don't have the confidence yet to start even thinking in that way," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.
The 36-year-old, stepped behind the camera to make her directorial debut In The Land Of Blood And Honey, a film she wrote herself about a romance between a Serbian soldier and a Bosnian woman. It has been nominated for a Golden Globe Awards this year and also won a Producer's Guild award.

Steve- Nicole ever leave X Factor

Steve Jones has vowed to bed US X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger – if he is axed from the show.
The Welsh swordsman was warned to be on his best behaviour and not to date any contestants or co-stars after landing the presenting job.
But this will all change if he is sacked from the show next year.
Jones said: "If I ever leave X Factor, Scherzinger's phone will be smoking hot from me ringing it constantly — if we are not colleagues then she's fair game."
Steve — who has dated a string of famous beauties including Baywatch's Pamela Anderson, Oscar-winner Halle Berry and Hayden Panettiere, of Heroes — was originally hired to co-host the show with the former Pussycat Doll.
The pair were said to have "amazing chemistry".
But Steve was left to front the series alone after Nicole was promoted to the judging panel to replace Cheryl Cole. Despite being separated on screen, rumours of their closeness continued throughout the series.
They reached a peak when Nicole announced she had split from long-term love, Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton.
But Steve's chances of returning to US X Factor next year have nosedived after a lukewarm reception from American critics. And his fate appeared to be sealed after his embarrassing handling of 13-year-old Rachel Crow's eviction.
Steve failed to console the sobbing teenager when she was voted off, looking on awkwardly as Simon Cowell and the girl's mum tried to calm her.
He has admitted he finds it hard to say goodbye to contestants saying: "I'm there to ask certain questions and to move the show along.
"If I can't do that, then the programme makers and Simon will find somebody else who can.
"So it can be harsh for people to call me rude because I'm not rude... I am nice."
Simon is planning a shake-up for the second series after admitting being "too cocky" in expecting ratings of 20million. The show — which ended last night — averaged around nine million.
On his chances of returning to the show, Steve said: "There's been no contract conversations and there won't be until the New Year. If I'm back, great, if not, I'll do something else. Simple as that."

Lady Gaga gives...

Lady Gaga gives permission to her British driver for year's supply of nappies after hearing he was about to become a dad for the first time.
Not only that, she's also told her interior design team to transform his spare room into a nursery.
Beats a £10 Mothercare voucher and a box of rusks.
A source said: "Gaga is very generous with her presents and makes a huge effort for those who look after her. As soon as she found out her UK driver was going to be a dad, she was on the phone trying to sort out a gift. It had to be something quirky, too — it's part of her nature."
Gaga has used the same driver for years, since she first started performing in the UK. The poor bloke has to drive her through hordes of screaming fans after gigs. Considering how often she stands up through the sunroof to salute her Little Monsters, he must know every inch of her midriff.
The singer won't be able to hand over the Pampers personally this Christmas as she'll be in the US with her family. Her boyfriend Taylor Kinney will be joining the Gaga clan, meeting her parents for the first time.
On Boxing Day he'll fly from Pennsylvania, where his parents live, to New York for a big dinner.

Monica Bellucci nude shoot again

Monica Bellucci nude shoot again. She looks incredible as she strips naked for steamy scenes in her latest movie. And not only was she 46 when she shot the film, but she had given birth to her second daughter, Leonie, just six weeks before.
The Matrix Reloaded star shot the nude scenes for the aptly-titled Un été brûlant, which translates as A Scorching Summer. And she says that she felt safe stripping for director Philippe Garrel, even though the request came at a "fragile moment as a woman". Monica is married to Black Swan star Vincent Cassell and they have an older daughter, Deva, born in September 2004.
She celebrated the birth of Leonie, in May 2010, with a naked front cover on Vanity Fair.
The stunning star has never shied away from saucy roles.
After stripping off for the 2002 movie Irreversible, she said: "I'm not scared by nudity, because for me, nothing is more beautiful than a body.
"You can have such an amazing emotion from a body. In Irreversible, I treated my body like it was an object and it's great when you can have this kind of relation with your body, it's a part of your job, an object you can work with."
Now 47, she's still got a body to be proud of.

Lady Gaga Nude sketch auction

Lady Gaga nude sketch auction on Ebay this week, with all proceeds going to both singers' charities.
The drawing is a charcoal sketch on watercolor paper, and features Lady Gaga reclining nude, signed by "Benedetto," the name Bennett signs all his art works with.
The 85-year-old jazz singer, who earlier this year recorded "Lady is a Tramp" in a duet with Lady Gaga for his album "Duets II," posted on Twitter that he was "thrilled" his portrait was up for auction.
Bennett, 85, sketched the picture while Lady Gaga, 25, posed for photographer Annie Leibovitz for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine's January issue.
Currently, the highest bid is $6,700, and is expected to rise during the course of the auction, which will end on Dec. 19, with all proceeds going to Bennett's Exploring the Arts charity and Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation.

Little Mix girl band win X Factor

X Factor win girl band Little Mix in last night's glittering final.
The four girls won the public vote and beat hairdresser Marcus Collins, 23.

And they are set to rake in millions — with the ITV1 show's boss Simon Cowell laying plans to turn them into the next Spice Girls.
The girls brushed away tears as they told of their delight after the decision at the packed Wembley Arena in North London.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 19, said: "Oh my gosh, wow." Jade Thirlwall, 18, said: "I'm so grateful. Thank you for everybody who voted."
Perrie Edwards, 18, said: "Oh my gosh, that's insane."
And Jesy Nelson, 20, said: "Oh my God, this is never going to sink in. We can't thank the public enough for picking up the phone."
Sporting Marcus said: "The girls really deserve it. They are amazing. I'm really proud of myself. Thanks to everyone who voted."
He was first to sing, choosing an energetic version of Jackie Wilson's (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher as his song of the series.
Judge Louis Walsh told him: "You're a born little pop star." Marcus's mentor Gary Barlow added: "It was an amazing performance.
Little Mix followed with a note perfect version of En Vogue's Don't Let Go (Love). Louis said: "This time next year, this is going to be the biggest girl band in the UK."
Kelly Rowland added: "Y'all have performed your butts off!"
Tulisa Contostavlos, who mentored the girls, thumped her desk and screamed: "Vote for Little Mix!"

Amelia Lily X Factor : Amazing night of my life

AMELIA LILY told host Dermot O'Leary that it had been the most amazing night of her life.
Little Mix and Marcus Collins came one step closer to achieving their dream as Amelia Lily, 17, was given the boot from X Factor last night.
The remaining two contestants will face off against each other finale in Wembley Arena.
Axed
Amelia said, "The best moment was performing on this stage with Miss Kelly Rowland."
The pink-haired pop wannabe performed Ike & Tina Turner's River Deep — Mountain High with the Destiny's Child star.
Show supremo Simon Cowell gave his views in a Skype chat from the US, saying: "I thought Amelia sang really well, better than I've heard her before."
And he told Xtra Factor hosts Caroline Flack and Olly Murs that it was one of the best finals that he'd seen — even though he wasn't on the panel.
He said: "It really made me miss being back in England. It was absolutely amazing."
The music mogul said he was backing the group mentored by Tulisa Contostavlos to win the competition, saying that they stole the show and he felt that something special was happening with the band.
Jade Thirlwall, 18, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 20, Jesy Nelson, 20, and Perrie Edwards, 18, remain the bookies' favourite to take the title.
Simon said: "I think tomorrow's show with Marcus and Little Mix is going to be sensational."
Former X Factor contestants JLS said that they had backed the girls since the beginning of the series - but also tipped Amelia to have a long singing career, likening to her to a "young Christina Aguilera".
The contestants joined forces to open the show with an electrifying performance of Take That's Greatest Day, made even more spectacular by the team of backing dancers holding burning torches.
Scouse crooner Marcus Collins, 23, was the first act of the night to perform individually, donning a trademark slick suit for his version of Outkast's Hey Ya!

Lindsay Lohan's nude photo on net

Lindsay Lohan's highly classified Playboy photo shoot leaked to the Internet this morning, one week before the issues was set to hit world.
First off the pics aren't bad, it's a Marilyn Monroe thing and it works.
Playboy sources tell, there are fears the leak could significantly damage sales of the magazine, which is expected to be the best seller of the year.
The shoot was a massive investment for Playboy, the mag shelled out nearly $1 million to Lohan for the spread and we're told the company has printed thousands of extra copies in anticipation of a sales boom.

Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz Divorced

Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are officially divorced ... after a judge signed off on the split. They said it wouldn't last ... and they were right.
According to court docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ ... the marriage was formally terminated on November 22 ... after a 3-and-a-half year run.
As for the couple's kid -- Bronx Mowgli -- it's unclear how the couple settled their custody disagreement ... because the details of the divorce settlement are being kept under wraps. Pete wanted joint custody of their son ... but Ashlee had checked the box to get primary physical custody.
The former couple also worked out a secret deal regarding the division of their multi-million dollar empire.
Wentz chalked up the split to the couple simply growing apart.

Shakira snap hot pants

Shakira gives her new gold pants an airing to promote a new tour DVD, source the sun.
Her briefs are even skimpier than Kylie's career-boosting hotpants and will have gone down well with her boyfriend Gerard Pique.
Not sure if his Barcelona team-mates are the type to pin this snap on the dressing room wall to wind him up.
Doubt anybody would complain if they did.

Cheryl Cole got boobs back

The Geordie singer has revealed she's back in her biggest bras thanks to some good old fashioned home cooking.

She's returned to her physical peak after a couple of years looking like she's in dire need of a steak dinner.
Cheryl said: "The curves are back, well and truly.
"I've got my boobs and bum back and, yeah, I like it. I think it's sexy."
Using these pictures as evidence, she's not wrong.
The former X Factor judge blames an intense working schedule for the ultra skinny figure she had a few months back.
She said: "When I'm really thin is normally when I am working non stop. I don't put any emphasis on thinking, 'Oh, I'm thin at the moment'.
"Right now I've got my curves back because I've had time off, I'm at home cooking, I'm more relaxed.
"I'm not defined by being 7lb heavier than I was two months ago — I think it is really unhealthy to go there."
The Girls Aloud star has been keeping a low profile over the past few months while recording her third album.
The first single is due out in the spring so it won't be long until she's back on our screens talking about her music. But for now, we'll just have to settle for Cheryl banging on about her new shoe collection.
The first 12 styles went on sale this week, and it's unlikely any of them will get the treatment some of Cheryl's favourite pairs do.
She said: "There is a big chance when you open the fridge in my house there will be a pair of shoes at the bottom."
Didn't have her down as Cold Feet fan.
Cheryl has named some of her collection after a few famous names - including RI RI and Your Royal Hotness, which must reference Prince Harry rather than Prince Andrew.
But blowing the rest out of the water is the brilliantly titled Byker Grove.
Geoff would be proud.

Britney spears going to be bride soon?

Britney spears going to be bride soon? Weekened Mail-
Dear Ted:
What say you about the Britney Spears engagement rumors? And if they are going to get engaged, do you think she'll follow through and tie the knot?
—Sam

Dear Third Time's The Charm:
Brit-Brit—who just turned the big 3-0 the other day (happy belated B-day, girl!)—has really settled down in the past couple years, and it is très possible that she'll get hitched in 2012 (Jason just hasn't popped the Q yet). And let's be real: Has Britney ever had a problem following through and walking down the aisle?!
Dear Ted:
Any thoughts on the Katy Perry/Russell Brand divorce rumors? I know they are denying it but with all of their past and (maybe) present Vicey behavior, it seems possible that their marriage really could be on the rocks!
Dear Till Vice Do Us Part:
This couple hardly keeps their past a secret from one another, so that's a non-issue with these two. And while their current secrets could be a bit nastier, they aren't splitting. Believe it or not, these two will try extra hard to make their marriage stick before giving up.
Dear Ted:
Please, please, please set the record straight on Lea Michele and Cory Monteith secretly dating?! The Monchele fandom is going crazy....please give us some scoop!
—Nicole
Dear Here We Go Again:
I already did, doll. Monchele. Love it.
Dear Ted:
Recently Michelle Trachtenberg has stated that she was a strong contender for Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan, but there were "scheduling conflicts." We know that Jennifer Lawrence was also considered for the role. I don't think that anyone can play Bella like Kristen can, same with Robert Pattinson as Edward. They make those characters their own. My question is did Jennifer and Michelle actually have a good chance or was Kristen Catherine Hardwicke's choice from the beginning?
—M
Dear Bella Swannabes:
Chances are if either of those two fab actresses bagged the role, you'd think they were irreplaceable, too. Remember, folks weren't exactly pleased when Rob was first cast as Edward. Think it's too funny how tres be-otchy Michelle is being about the role so many years later.
Dear Ted:
I know a lot of people are skeptical about their relationship, but I think Ben Affleck and Jen Garner are the cutest. If you look at pictures of them together, they look really happy and in love. I wonder if either one has any Vicey behavior?
—Kathy

Veena Malik nude shoot hit Pakistan

Veena Malik nude photo hit Pakistan. Now it is the talk of the World. Queen of controversies Veena Malik may or not have done a nude shoot for an Indian magazine but this time it may not be a hands-down win for Pakistan's custodians of morality because her admirers seem to have multiplied over the year.

Malik, who last ran into trouble for not playing miss-goodie-two-shoes on Indian reality show 'Bigg Boss IV' earlier this year, is back in the spotlight for allegedly posing nude for the cover of FHM India magazine with an "ISI" tattoo on her arm.
She has denied posing nude and has threatened to sue the magazine, whose editor Kabeer Sharma insists that he has a video and an email from Malik that prove the authenticity of the photo.
Pakistan's Interior Minister Rahman Malik has said he had not seen the pictures.
However, he contended that if Malik had done a nude shoot, "strict action" would be taken against her.
Women have come out in hordes in the virtual world, at least, to support Malik.
"Veena I am proud of you!" wrote Sonia Wahab on a web page.
The best response came from filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy.
She posted on Twitter: "For all you clerics waiting to pounce on Veena Malik better have your excuses lined up about why you were looking at FHM in the first place!"
On the website of The Express Tribune newspaper, Abdul Jabbar posted: "Veena has every right to pose how she wants.
"May be she's showing our moral hypocrisy where we value a woman by her sex life. Maybe she feels she has got nothing to be ashamed of her body, that the female body is not a source of sin and shame. I for one, will not condemn her.
"The Egyptian blogger did it recently and her reasons were valid. There is no need to attach a woman's value in society by the amount of clothes she wraps herself into," he wrote.
But Malik had her share of detractors too. On a Facebook page floated to hate all things Indian, the administrator posted: "Shameless Veena Malik poses naked for men's magazine FHM (India). Notice the ISI tattoo on her arm. This gesture from eastern (sic) neighbour speaks of their frustration and hatred towards the ISI. Veena Malik shame on you".
Over 80 comments that followed requested members of the page to ask Pakistan's Supreme Court to cancel Malik's nationality and to make sure that she does not live in the country again.
Malik has been trending on microblogging website Twitter since the photo became public yesterday.
Actress Meera, Malik's bete noire, called her a "completely mad woman".
The feminists, while supporting Malik's decision to pose nude, wondered if it also amounted to real empowerment.
"Why 'empowerment' and a 'free life' mean no clothes?" tweeted Ayesha Malik.
Some others explained why Malik was in denial. "After all, she probably fears being stripped of her Pak citizenship," wrote blogger Cafe Pyala.

Marry the Night

We kind of feel like Stefon from "Saturday Night Live" trying to describe the epic-ness that is Lady Gaga's new video for "Marry the Night."

It. Has. Everything. Directed by the singer herself, the 13-minute clip is chock full of everything from choreographed dance numbers to flaming cars to Honey Nut Cheerios. It starts out with Gaga being wheeled into a mental ward that somehow looks like how a movie would portray a mid-century orphanage.
It then segues to some ballet dancing, some odd performance art involving a topless Gaga and some Honey Nut Cheerios, a junkyard full of cars that are on fire with Gaga in a studded Mad Max getup, and then a choreographed dance at a studio with a group of folks that reminds us of that class Jodi Sawyer went to in "Center Stage."
There's also a shot of a full moon, which we're pretending is an ode to boyfriend Taylor Kinney (a.k.a. Hot Werewolf Uncle Mason from "The Vampire Diaries") even though it's nothing but a cinematic scene-setting element.
By the end, we realize this portrait of a self-destructive pop star is definitely a statement on Gaga's own life. But is this a reflection on what she feels her life has become, or what she doesn't want to be? Or is she likening signing to Interscope Records to being in a mental ward?
So many questions, Gaga. Not so many clear-cut answers. What do you think?
