Scarlett Johansson reportedly burst into tears at a New York fundraiser on Monday night. She was seen sobbing in the toilets at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala, before being comforted by British designer Stella McCartney. A source said: "She was crying to Stella - not hysterical, confused. It was about 10.30 pm. They walked back from the bathroom together." The reason for her tears is unknown. Scarlett and Stella chatted until Scarlett was ready to dry her eyes and rejoin the party. Josh Hartnett was also there. What's going on there?








Jamie Pressly says "His name is Dezi". The actress and her deejay fiance, Eric Cubiche, welcomed a baby boy, Dezi James, on Friday. The child was born at 7:31 a.m. in Los Angeles and weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz.

Lost Season 3 Ep 20 - The Man Behind The Curtain
At long last, the story of Ben was unveiled. Born on December 22, 1963 on a secluded Portland area, his mum died right after giving birth. Locke finally did what he was asked to do and came back to The Others new makeshift camp site with the people all looking in awe. As promised, Ben told Locke about this higher power called Jacob whom Locke wanted to see himself. But Ben states that you don't just see him... only when he summons you to. Badass Locke didn't buy this story and even Mikhail got a beating from it. Nice to see Tom & Richard just watching the one-eyed Russian succumbing to Locke which shows who they really want as their leader. There were shocked expressions all around when Locke casually said that he and Ben are going to see Jacob. With that, Ben got no choice but to delay his abduction plans with the new knowledge of Naomi's techie item. In a very enriching flashback, we see young Ben coming to the island with his dad Roger. He lived in the barracks while Roger became a 'Work Man'. Some new Marvin Candle orientation videos were screened on the TVs at the registration centre where he welcomed the new recruits and said that the island "has properties that exist nowhere else on Earth." Young Ben has an admirer called Annie who carved two wooden dolls for his birthday. There was a purge going on while they were in school one day and this made Roger question the safety issues. After seeing his dead Mom outside the window, young Ben tried to go through the sonic barrier to find her but when she appeared to him again, she told him it wasn't time yet. So young Ben came back some time later with all his belongings and activated the code '54439' to unlock the sonic defence. That is when he saw a 'Kurt Cobain' version of Richard Alpert who looked the same age! How is that possible?? "You do remember birthdays, don't you Richard?" Could this have been a loaded question posed by Ben to Richard, a man who never seems to age? 70s version Alpert told young Ben he could come with him but must be very patient. Maybe to meet someone very powerful perhaps. Some years later, a grown up Ben decided to kill his daddy and later help Alpert purge the barracks. How this is connected to Ben finally being crowned the secondary leader amongst the 'hostiles' is still unknown. Back to the losties camp site. Sawyer told Sayid about his meeting with Locke and showed him the tape recorder containing Juliet's fertility report. Everyone there now knew about this fake plane crash, Naomi's arrival and The Others' plans to raid the pregnant woman from their camp. Jack & Juliet came back and asked how Sawyer got the tape recorder which was met with a negative response. Juliet then told Sawyer to play the other side of the tape and revealed that Jack and herself were trying to find ways to counter the impending raid. If only they would all just communicate better.. Creepy scene involves Ben, Locke and an empty chair in a very old wooden house that has some special powder circling around it. Ben finally introduced Locke to Jacob. But where is he?? When Ben starts talking to an empty chair back and forth while holding a conversation with a puzzled Locke, it looks very very strange. Locke called Ben pathetic and then decided to walk out of the house. "Help me.." Who/What the bloody hell was that? Ben didn't say anything so Locke flashed at the empty chair. Now because this invisible Jacob got pissed, the house shook and things started to fly all around the house. For a split second, a man dressed like someone from the 'Black Rock' was seen sitting on the chair facing sideways towards Ben who got throwed back to the wall by some magical force. Locke quickly ran out and then everything became serene. "That was.. Jacob," a very sad looking Ben told Locke. When they were walking back, Locke refused to acknowledge the words he heard in the house which made Ben very worried. On their way back, Locke was brought to a large trench containing skeletons of Dharma personnel that Ben purged sometime during 1988-1991. Because he was smart enough to side with the right clan, Ben didn't fall prey like them. When Locke heard this, he turned around wielding his knife and not the gun which Alex gave him earlier. That's because Ben somehow took it and shot Locke!! What the...? Because Locke has heard Jacob's voice, Ben became terrified that Jacob no longer trusts him. Will Locke survive this gunshot wound? He has to. This is someone extremely special and also have a communion with this mysterious location. The Others aren't Dharma but are pre-Dharma. So why is Dharma still dropping off supplies in the middle of the jungle? Does Jacob have an influence on why women who conceived there being unable to give birth and does it tie in with Ben's mum pregnancy ordeal?

Lily Allen says anyone queueing for hours to buy her fashion range is "sad and stupid". The singer launched her quirky clothes range in a Manchester New Look store on Wednesday. But she admitted: "I hope no-one was sad enough to queue up for it." Lily slammed the "lying" fashion industry for over-hyping everything. She said: "Queueing for hours and hours is stupid. It could be avoided if fashion companies didn't hype everything so much. We all know that if the shop runs out of stock they'll order more, so what's the point of queueing? I don't think we will sell out of my clothes, I'm not Kate Moss." A humble opinion? Miss Lily might be facing arrest for an 'assault' on a photographer back in March. [Lily-Assault]




Lindsay Lohan made David Letterman's heart beat faster when she told him she plays a stripper in her next film, I Know Who Killed Me. "You're just gonna kill me, you know I have a heart condition. You're just gonna kill me," he said. Lindsay is now being sued for allegedly hitting a photographer with her car. Giovanni Arnold is claiming that on March 13, she struck him while driving a BMW in Manhattan's West Village. He claims as a result he "sustained severe and permanent personal injuries". The photographer claims Linds & her mum were "negligent, careless and reckless" - causing him personal injury and economic loss. It doesn't reveal how much he is seeking in damages. Just another typical month for this woman.

Fran Healy has revealed that '12 Memories' was inspired by his depression and therapy sessions. The singer went to hypnotherapy appointments which helped to cure the illness before he recorded the album. Fran said, "I was feeling really, really bad and didn't want to take drugs to get myself out of it. So I had three months of hypnotherapy instead, where you went back and fixed your memories. So that's where the album title came from, and each song on it was a memory I wanted to address." Kudos for him seeking proper treatment. Travis are eyeing a collaboration with film soundtrack composer Danny Elfman, who created Batman and The Simpsons themes, among others. Fran loves composing "cinematic" music - and believes teaming up with Elfman could be the band's next step. "I'd love to work with him. I think all Travis records are cinematic and feel we've got a widescreen sound almost by accident. "We'd like to give him a song he can embellish." Now that would be cool.
