Nicole Kidman was involved in a car accident on the set "The Invasion" on Thursday morning. The actress was quickly taken to the hospital after she crashed her Jaguar during shooting in L.A. Her publicist explained that the vehicle slammed into a pole when a camera towing the Jaguar went off track and turned a corner at 45mph. Two crew members suffered minor injuries while eight people were taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, including Nicole, and released a short time later. The accident occurred when Nicole, who plays a psychiatrist in the film, was trying to steer clear from zombie, creepy-looking creatures who crawled onto the hood of the vehicle. At least it was only minor. Urban may now include this unfortunate incident in his current dedication songwriting duties.


There are a few different reports on Kate Hudson's love life status. According to the New York Daily News, Owen Wilson flew over to Australia - where Kate is currently filming new movie Fools Gold to rekindle their relationship. But Life & Style Weekly is reporting that Kate is now dating Nic Cester, Jet's frontman. Nic is a friend Chris Robinson and according to the mag, Kate and Nic were spotted kissing at the Bowery Bar in Brisbane over the weekend. Kate then joined Nic and his band for their performance at a Big Day Out show the following day. Would she continue to pursue a rocker type or fill it with some dupree?





Can she be a convincing Brit speaker? Lindsay Lohan is worried about her new role in 'A Woman Of No Importance' because she has to talk with a British accent. People might compare her to 60s actor Dick Van Dyke, whose Cockney accent in Mary Poppins was very unconvincing. Lohan said: "My character has a British accent. I pick up accents well, but I don't want to be remembered like Van Dyke." Wonder if her co-star Keira is willing to help out in that department.. Lindsay went back into her apartment building on Monday despite being in a rehab programme at the Wonderland Center. Patients are only usually allowed out of the center for medical appointments and AA meetings but Lindsay made a trip home during her work-release time. Docs have banned her from attending the premiere of her latest film. A source said: "The doctors have told her she has got to stay put as leaving the centre would interfere with her treatment." The medics were apparently worried the wild gal might give into temptation and start drinking again. However, Lindsay has been allowed to leave the centre during the day to film 'I Know Who Killed Me'. Would be wise to have a hospital rep to watch her over during the release timings.


Lindsay Lohan sightings:

- Grocery Shopping (Jan 19)


- AA Meeting in West Hollywood (Jan 20)



Errm.. hooray? Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston will share an on-screen kiss in new US drama series Dirt. TVGuide.com reports: "Aniston's character is a lesbian. What's more, she won't just mouth off to Cox's tightly wound counterpart, she's going to share a lip lock with her. Cox plays ruthless tabloid boss Lucy Spiller in the hit show, which debuted on US cable at the beginning of the month. Aniston will play Spiller's rival Tina Harrod on the show's season finale. Don't know much about this show. But I would imagine the current ratings are not so wonderful, yah.


This lady prefers the shaggy ones it seems. Kirsten Dunst is trying to find a guy to spend her lonely nights with and bring her out of her misery. Kirsten was recently seen on a date with Drew's ex, Fab Moretti. They enjoyed lunch together at Los Angeles' Joan's on Third restaurant on Monday. The day before, Kirsten Dunst was seen trying to sneak out of Adrian Grenier's house. She has also been seen enjoying the company of Adam Brody - who recently split from Rachel Bilson. The pair were seen partying at hip Los Angeles nightclub Hyde on Jan 6th. Just wondering whether she is a fan of Scooby Doo?









Tubes is a new social networking site that lets users share photos, videos and music without the annoyance of circulating gigantic e-mails. It's free to set up a "tube" and allows up to 2GBs of storage. (Once you put a file in there, you can send e-mail alerts so your friends can check it out.)

New Songs:
1) We Are Scientists - Surprise [mp3]
2) The Hussys - Napoleon [mp3]
3) Of Montreal - Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider [mp3]

From their new album, Crap Attack, which consists of rarities and B-sides, W.A.S offers something which is probably best for their hardcore fans. One extremely incredible track is 'Surprise' where it shows the fundamental strength of this band. Discovered a new fantastic Glasgow group called "The Hussys" [myspace]. Their fresh pop ideas mirror L.A Band "Rooney" with the added dancy guitar rock factor making them one to watch this year. Twee-pop gang 'Of Montreal' has released a new album called "Hissing Fauna Are You the Destroyer" and one of the favourite tracks include "Bunny Ain't.." Following the spinto, belle-sebastian routine with a lil disco-punk spice, they venture into the carefree fun expressway.


Paris Hilton was sentenced to three years probation on Monday after pleading no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving. She was also fined $390 and ordered to attend an alcohol-education program in the case, which stemmed from her arrest in Hollywood last September. She pleaded no contest to the lesser charge and her probation can be reduced by a year if she completes 40 hours of community service. Not surprised by this lenient sentence. Guess she isn't fussy about looks while getting cozy with new nerdy co-star Joel Moore from 'The Hottie and The Nottie' shooting in Malibu. [Nottie-Paris]

A new website has posted a seemingly endless offering of Paris Hilton's belongings, claiming it includes "racy" videos showing her drinking and allegedly using illegal substances. ParisExposed.com, launched on Monday, boasts an array of Hilton photos, home videos, diaries, love letters, recorded phone conversations and phone numbers of friends and celebs, all left behind at an L.A storage centre. The new goods "were acquired by me through a broker", said website creator Bardia Persa. He obtained the Paris possessions in September. Read more.. [PH-Stuff]


Jennifer Connelly @ UK Premiere Of Blood Diamond London (23/01/2007)



Colin Farrell is dating an up and coming British singer - he met Nicola Ward, 24, while filming an upcoming Woody Allen movie in London. Ward, who rejected a place in Girls Aloud, insist their relationship is still in its infancy, but is clearly very fond of him. She says, "It's early days so I don't want to say too much. We met randomly when he was filming and he took my number. I didn't think he'd get in touch, so I was really surprised when he called. I enjoy his company and, yes, he's a real gent." This Nicola is a lucky woman if she can fish this wildman.


Looks like Lily Allen has found a favourite target. Following her comments about Madonna last year, Lily has hit out at her again! She rants: "I never say anything unprovoked, but an interviewer asked me who, in my opinion, was the most overrated pop star" Can you see where this is going yet? "And overrated for me is someone who sells a lot of records because of who they are. And I don't think people buy Madonna's records because they think they're really good" she continued. So far Madonna has refused to reply: maybe she's too busy searching for new kids to adopt.
