The much-coveted Bond girl part is still up for grabs for the new 007 movie and Charlize Theron is reportedly being lined up. Apparently, she has been offered a deal to star alongside Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. Now this is the role that famous women all over the globe are getting all shaken and stirred about. It would be great if Theron gets it. The South African-born star is said to be British director Martin Campbell's first choice. A source said: "She is glamorous but she is also a brilliant actress. It would be quite a coup to have an Oscar-winner as the female lead." Rachel Stevens, Billie Piper & Kerry Kantona may just have to wait till the next auditions..

Nicole Kidman has sparked rumours she is pregnant after being photographed talking to her parents while new love Keith Urban pats and strokes her stomach. The actress, who has two adopted children reportedly accepted the country singer's marriage proposal just before America's Thanksgiving holiday, and sent a private jet to bring her parents from Australia to the US to meet Urban's family. An onlooker said: "They certainly had something they were smiling about as they introduced their parents to each other. The whole time they were talking to her parents, Keith was rubbing her belly. They all had beaming smiles." Hrmmm...watch this space.

Natasha Hamilton out in Liverpool with partner Fran Cosgrave pushing her son Harry as they wheeled him back to the car to find a parking ticket waiting for them. Tash remained in good spirits regardless of the parking ticket but did say she wouldn't take her hood down as her hair was a mess.

Waahaahaha!! 50 Cent has hit out at Robbie Williams, calling him a "sucker". The blasting stems from a fall out the pair had when they stayed at the same hotel in Berlin earlier this autumn. Robbie fans outside the hotel reportedly harranged Fiddy's car thinking the Stoke lad was in there. Compounding Fiddy's woe, Williams allegedly complained to the hotel management saying that the rapper's late night party was too loud. Now Fiddy has reportedly said: "He's a sucker. He said I was keeping him awake. I know he wanted to meet me but I didn't have time. Maybe that's why he was upset." The Rock Dj wants to be in da club? Now that's trippin!

Before GBMS came out in June, the timeless indie tunes (Cutt Off, L.S.F, Processed Beats, Club Foot) were a daily staple. Listening to them again never remove that magical interest.

Live @ Brixton - Cutt Off / L.S.F

Girls Aloud next single 'Models' will be released in February. I can hear some electronic tunes reminiscent from the good old 'No Good Advice' days.

Here are some pics from the Girls Aloud performance at G-A-Y Nightclub in London on 3rd Dec 2005. Check out the raunchy outfits!

The Kinks' guitarist Dave Davies recognises the onstage chemistry between fighting siblings Noel and Liam - as he shared the same emotional turbulence with his brother Ray. The Davies brothers have famously feuded since first hitting the charts in the 1960s, but they share a musical telepathy which temporarily transcends any tension. Dave says, "The Kinks worked best when Ray and I were in tune with each other. I see it with Oasis and the Gallaghers. It's like telepathy: you're galvanised emotionally, spiritually toward one objective - magical things happen." Supersonic things that shook the earth happened.

This is very interesting! Pete Doherty and Liam Gallagher have had a bust-up while visiting their daughters at Lisa Moorish's house. Doherty has a two-year-old son, Estile, to Moorish and turned up at her home unannounced while Gallagher was there. Liam had been seeing his seven-year-old daughter Molly in a pre-arranged visit. Pete was apparently very worse for wear and stumbling about when Liam confronted him and ejected him out onto the street. A source revealed: "Lisa has allowed Pete to see Estile recently. It seemed he was sorting himself out and she felt that he was ready to build bridges. But she would expect him to organise his visits on advance, although it's difficult with someone like Pete. It didn't help that he seemed a bit worse for wear and was rambling and stumbling all over the place."
"Lisa just lost her temper and Liam was really miffed. He turfed Pete out into the street and told him he wasn't going anywhere near either of the kids until he sorted himself out." What bad timing that dude experienced. Of all people, he has to face a huge wonderwall obstacle..

Great news! The Fugees are to get back together. The band - Pras, Wyclef Jean and Lauyrn Hill - have not been a going concern since 1997 when the split following the worldwide success of The Score LP and launched solo careers. A new single, Take It Easy, has been released with an album expected to follow some time next year.

Westlife spoke with viewers of 'GMTV Today' to reveal their plans for Christmas and the New Year during a live video webchat.

Worrying about her safety, Charlotte Church has installed a panic button in her new home which links directly to the nearest police station. She's feeling uneasy about being the target of stalkers and thieves. The singer is moving into her $900,000 house in Cardiff, Wales, later this week. She said, "A button on my phone goes straight through to the police station. The same number is programmed into my mobile (phone)." It's definitely tough being a well known chick..

It's always fun to read about Graeme Souness defending himself on a daily basis against allegations that his days are numbered in the north-east. He knows he's not a quality manager to manage a club like the toons. Seeing his appalling record when he was in charge of The Reds should be enough to convince any sane chairman of a big name club to stay away from signing him as their manager. His next match? Arsenal on Tyneside. A fixture the Magpies have not won in six league and cup attempts going back to May 2000. In the case of David O'Leary, I've got no problems with him as he has shown what he can do when managing Leeds Utd back then. But his current defence needs to have triple extra training sessions if they want to finish at least mid-table. I'm quite baffled by the standard of defending especially craps like Boumsong, Bramble, Silvestre and Cygan. The fact that they can still survive another week playing in the top class league questions the philosophy of their respective managers. Last Saturday, Bolton basically camped in Arsenal's own half for most of the match, scaring the life out of the Gooners backline. They have shown again that those londoners are only capable of pretty football if the opposition give them an easy time. With brute force, they can be reduced to school boy standards... I hope Arsene rectify this problem when the Blues come to town in two weeks time. That is argubly the game that will decide how the season works out at the top. Chelski would definitely make use of Droggy's physical strength to make Toure, Sol and especially Cygan pee in their pants. If they can keep Drog under control, then it should be an even contest. Make no mistake; every free kick near the penalty box will be monitored very closely to avoid that Godsmustbecrazy Hen-ry from getting a free open goal again like last season in Highbury. It's a match Wenger must not lose if he wants play catch-up. Best result would be a draw. That will make Rafa/Fergie smiling like Goofy.

Joy and pain for Jennifer Aniston at the moment. She has burned the dress she wore when she married that fool. The actress was joined by friends to witness the ritual outside her Malibu beach home. The actress was sipping champagne and laughing with friends as her wedding dress went up in smoke (sounds like some witches convention). Other items on the fire were love letters from Brad as well as T-shirts and CD's belonging to him. Aniston was planning to give the Lawrence Steele designed gown to charity but decided to burn it instead, for getting rid of her marriage demons once and for all. Many people in the same predicament might now do the exact same thing I suppose? On the downside of things, some wiseguy by the name of Peter Brandt has been sued by Aniston after he caught invading her privacy by using a telephoto lens to photograph her inside her home when she was topless or partly undressed.

The lawsuit, alleges Brandt must have observed the actress "from a great distance through invasive, intrusive and unlawful measures". The photos "could have been taken only by means of trespass" and were shot in a place where she had reasonable expectations of privacy. Aniston is seeking monetary damages and a court order to stop Brandt and anyone else from making money from the photos. She previously sued a different photographer for allegedly scaling a neighbour's wall and photographing her sunbathing topless in her garden. The photos ran in several publications. Francois Navarre, owner of the biggest L.A paparazzi agency, X-17, paid the actress $550,000 two years ago to settle an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit, but admitted no wrongdoing. Lawyers for Jennifer Aniston are threatening legal action, after learning that snapshots of the actress sunbathing topless in her home are in circulation. Her legal team is warning the world's media outlets that they face lawsuits if they buy the photographs in question, which were taken by a paparazzo. The lawyers say publications on both sides of the Atlantic could face invasion-of-privacy lawsuits if they use the shots. Actresses including Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson and Lindsay Lohan have had alleged run-ins with paparazzi in recent months.

RIAA Bans Telling Friends About Songs
The Recording Industry Association of America announced that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates about new songs, artists, or albums. "We are merely exercising our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted material," a press release signed by RIAA anti-piracy director Brad Buckles read. "We will aggressively prosecute those individuals who attempt to pirate our property by generating 'buzz' about any proprietary music, movies, or software, or enjoy same in the company of anyone other than themselves." RIAA attorneys said they were also looking into the legality of word-of-mouth "favorites-sharing" sites, such as coffee shops, universities, and living rooms. (?_?).. (O_o).. (^_^)
