Keira Knightley's marriage plans? Keira is to marry her actor boyfriend Rupert Friend, according to reports. They have dating since last year and she reportedly announced her engagement plans during a family breakfast. She told her mother and closest friends: "I'm getting engaged! I know in my heart, Rupert is the one." Keira's mother and friends are said to be thrilled over the couple's news. A source told Britain's More magazine: "Keira's mum Sharman is thrilled. She adores Rupert. "Keira is elated. She's on such incredible high." Mum doesn't mind him being the male twin version of her daughter. Will this be a hush-hush ceremony then?


Her pirate collegue Johnny Depp has some plans of his own. Johnny is about to enter into matrimonial sanctity with his lovely French girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis. That's what locals say in Plan de la Tour, a 12th-Century village near St.-Tropez in the south of France. It's a bit of a surprise, since Johnny is rarely interested in the M-word. "It would be a shame to ruin her last name," he quipped to OK! magazine last year. "It's so perfect. It would be such a drag to stick her with Paradis-Depp." That name sounds really bad. If it should happen, then the ceremony would probably occur next year after.


Elizabeth Hurley wants to be different. Instead of one, she is insisting on two wedding ceremonies to celebrate her marriage to Arun Nayar. She will have a lavish ceremony in England and another in India, where her fiancee was born. No expense will be spared - Hurley will arrive on a decorated elephant and have 13 different wedding dresses designed and made for her two big days. This would be like some fashion show instead. We'd expect nothing less from her, of course.

Klaxons have named their eagerly anticipated debut album. The long-player has been dubbed 'Myths of the Near Future' - a title it shares with a collection of short stories by JG Ballard. The album is almost complete, with the band busy at work with producer James Ford over the past two weeks. Explaining the album's title, frontman Simon Taylor said: "It's called Myths of the Near Future’ because that's what all the songs are about. It came before the album." This is an indie-rave band. Not too sure how the public reacts to this stuff but it should do alright.

This week, Jade was first seen pondering why Nigel Barker said she is arrogant. Gina, who got taunted by Jade last week, said it is Karma. There is nothing like some bitchin' in every season. Next day, they went to the Warren-Tricomi salon and had a makeover.. then straight to a photoshoot session. Sara -> blonde / Danielle - wavy hair / Joenie -> blonde + icy / Nnenna -> bald / Gina - edgy cut / Mollie Sue - mia farrow / Jade - softer blondish. Jade wasn't too happy about going blonde, whereas Mollie Sue was happy her new 'Mod' look. Danielle was given the hip hop glam that suited her. Next day's challenge was going to a fashion show and find outfits to suit them from that show. Furonda must have gone insane by giving out a printed list of things she expects from the rest and everyone thought she was beginning to behave like Naomi Campbell but she's clearly not in that league. Sara then began complaining to her bf about her new hairstyle that looks a bit weird. After watching the fashion show, they chose their outfits. Met Rachel Zoe the celeb stylist who guided them and then... Naima Mora appears! She was there to help them out. 15 mins were given and the winner will get a 15K shopping voucher. Jade, Leslie - well done / Sara - could do better / Gina & Wendy - ok / Joenie - all american / Danielle - need jeans / Brooke - 50s / Kari - yellow doesn't suit her / Nnenna - true n natural / Mollie - mod not really her style / Furonda - not bad. Winner is Nnenna! She brought Jade & Gina to join her maybe helping them become friends again.. Later that night, Jade wanted to use the phone but Wendy said later. Jade then talked a lot of blah2.. this is not 'americas next top best friends model' & 'i am the undiscovered talent' then the rest laughed at her lame words especially Furonda. Jade complained to mum about others being horrible to her. WTH? Next day, they went to a warehouse building... ice blocks all over. Photoshoot held on the icy cold studio set. Sara did well, Nnenna shocked by cold, Mollie Sue was cool but lack of emotions. Danielle a bit sexy, Joenie was too princessy, Wendy looked like shocked bird, Kari was not bad like a barbie doll, Leslie did well, Gina was not good but her last few takes were ok. Brooke was good at having the sex appeal look without lookin sleazy. Jade was icy in the face, Furonda stepped up the mark from her last shoot. Next day = Elimination. Brooke was deemed not conventional pretty... looks wrong..but it is right. Jade told judges she was not happy about some girls.. her photo was not good. Furonda = ET with a wig! During the private discussion, Nigel told the rest "Jade just needs to get laid." at which all broke into laughter. First name - Brooke.. then Danielle, Nnenna, Kari, Furonda, Gina, Mollie Sue, Leslie, Sara, Joenie. Last two person were Wendy or Jade. Wendy has potential but they haven't seen it put on photo whereas Jade had too many excuses for their liking. They picked Jade as the last girl chosen... and so Wendy ended her journey.

Scarlett Johansson wants her next movie to be a Stanley Kubrick-style horror. In a short, but prolific acting career, she has tackled comedy and drama, most famously appearing in Lost In Translation and new movie The Black Dahlia - but hasn't tried her hand at horror. Scarlett says, "I was watching The Shining the other day and it would be really great to do a film like that. Not that anyone compares to Kubrick in the league of eeriness. But it would be nice to do a dark psychological drama." That sounds like a good idea. Don't think she meant the 'Scream' types though.
