Renee Zellweger must have learned a thing or two from all those Texas proms she went to in the '80s. The actress has allegedly dyed and altered the pearl-coloured Carolina Herrera wedding gown she wore when she married Kenny Chesney so that she can continue to use it. A friend of the actress said, "Renee didn't want to throw it away. Since she knew she'd never wear it again as a wedding dress, she made it into something she'd get some use out of." The dress has been shortened and dyed sapphire blue. An innovative way to re-use something of good value, eh?

Keira Knightley has slammed the Hollywood system for encouraging actresses to lose weight. The slim actress insists she is curvy compared to most of the leading ladies she goes up against at auditions - and has called on studios to take a more responsible attitude. She says, "I'm twice the size, height and everything else of most of the other actresses who are going for an audition. It's mad, isn't it? When you realise that even at my size I'm one of the largest there. It's at the point you start to say, 'I don't think it'd be healthy for me to stay here much longer.' Are we surprised that there are people out there who feel they have to lose weight? "It's shocking for young girls. There is a lot of pressure - it's like you've got to be perfect." That's the sad reality of course. Just ask Pink.

The Roger Sisters and Dirty Little Faces are two underrated bands that deserved more recognition. Nothing pretentious, just raw rock 'n' roll stuff.

Clea are out with the video to their new single 'Lucky Like That'. Extremely cheesy stuff this time with horrible hairstyles. It's just alright, seeing the attempt to do a 'ketchup song' type of video. They should stick to doing ballads.

Short interview with Kym Marsh.



Holly Marie Combs is expecting her second child. "She's only a few months," says a WB spokesperson. "She's not showing, so it won't affect production." The actress and her husband, David W. Donoho, already have a son, Finley, who turns 2 this month. The new mother will have plenty of time to spend with her little ones. Charmed, is filming its series finale and wrapping production this month. Congrats to her. Won't be difficult attending to two kids for sure..


Natasha Bedingfield AOL Sessions. Check out the video of Unwritten and These Words and watch the clips from her interview. The acoustic performance of These Words is absolutely brilliant.

These kids know how to have fun in their vids with some feel-good tunes. Impressive.

Jack White Coke Ad. It has an 80's vibe.



This is interesting. Damon Albarn has appealed to ex-Blur member Graham Coxon to join up for one last show. Graham had suggested Damon's egotism and vanity was the reason he would never work with him again. But Damon said: "I'm not really criticising anyone. I can appreciate where Graham's coming from. I just think it's a real shame. It would be really nice to do a gig. I'll never abandon the idea of Blur because that's what gave me the opportunity to do all the other things." Don't think it will work. Graham is not one who gives in easily.

An unlikely reunion in the future? Carl Barat insists he'd love to team up with Pete Doherty again - despite the rocker's well-publicised drug and crime troubles. Barat - who has since formed new group Dirty Pretty Things - reveals he was "devastated" when the singer left the band in 2004, after burgling his flat the previous year. Nevertheless he would welcome a reunion when Doherty has sorted out his problems. He says: "It devastated me. (Pete) was a shadow of the man. "It would have killed me if I didn't have the support around me. The Libertines was my everything and my world fell apart. It's just sad and I wish he would sort it out. I would really like to work with him again some day. I don't deny that but I've not seen him really." Can't really see it happening this year especially with DPT bound to tour around the globe. Would be nice if the seeds of the weeds are extinguished.
