Bryce Dallas Howard is the hot favorite to become PETA's sexiest vegetarian alive for 2007. The animal rights group are holding the annual poll and 'Gwen Stacy' is said to be the clear frontrunner at the moment. A source revealed: "Bryce is way out in front. Pink is next, but she's lagging behind. Joaquin Phoenix and Tobey Maguire are getting the most votes out of the guys." Last year, Natalie Portman won it, while other previous winners include Josh Hartnett, Alicia Silverstone and Shania Twain. Alicia recently revealed her favorite foods used to be steak and doughnuts. When asked what she used to eat, Alicia said: "Now I'm a total health nut. I don't get sick very often and when I do it's for a short period."






Kirsten Dunst is to make her directorial debut this summer. She will helm a ghost story she wrote herself, based on a letter sent in to Glamour mag by a reader. Kirsten said: "I’m directing my first short this summer. It's a ghost story. They're totally giving me carte blanche. I pick the letter. I write my script. I pick everyone I want to collaborate with, it's great." The film will be part of the Reel Moments series, a project run by Glamour which showcases short films made by women based on readers' stories. Kirsten is aiming high with her latest venture. She said: "I’ve always been a fan of Roman Polanski, 'Repulsion' with Catherine Deneuve and 'Rosemary's Baby'. We just don't make movies like that any more." Will she be better off as a director?







Keira Knightley has won a lawsuit against the Daily Mail newspaper for insinuating that she has an eating disorder. [KK-Libel-Win] She has donated the cash that she received in a libel pay-out to an eating disorders charity. Keira received 3,000 pounds from Associated Newspapers after the Daily Mail ran a story showing a picture of her in a bikini with "deeply offensive and embarrassing" suggestions she had an eating disorder and was responsible for an anorexic's death. She said she would match the amount and give a total of 6,000 pounds to Beat, a Norwich-based charity that helps improve the lives of people with anorexia and bulimia. Serves them right for publishing such stories. Check out Keira's maternal side as she cares for baby elephant Shimba. [Keira-Shimba]

Lost Season 3 Ep 22 - Through The Looking Glass
What a finale! The first season ended with an unknown hatch door being opened and Walt's kidnapping, second one was the capture of J/K/S and Swan's explosion but now it's all about the Others vs the survivors. After Ben knew about Juliet's double-crossing plans, he daringly came without any weapons along with Alex to meet Jack's group who are now heading towards the radio tower. Alpert was instructed to bring everyone to "The Temple". Mikhail was sent to the underwater hatch to find out what Charlie was doing there. Ever since the rock star got ambushed by two armed ladies, he has been interrogated but knowing that whatever happens, the yellow blinking light will definitely be turned off. Thus, Charlie joyfully played with Bonnie and Greta's minds about his plan and how he knew about this jamming situation. Mikhail tried to kill an awoken Desmond but failed so he followed him into the station. After getting more instructions from Ben, Mikhail shot Greta and needed two shots to kill Bonnie but Desmond surprised him with an arrow hit. Charlie found out from a dying Bonnie about the number combinations that correspond to Beach Boys' Good Vibrations. What a coincidence that it needed a musician to figure out the number codes! Charlie successfully turned off the jamming signal and when he turned back for an incoming transmission, there's a quick view of Mikhail in the background standing up! On the video monitor, a familiar face came through in the form of Penelope! She found out that Desmond is still alive but the twist is that she didn't know of any freighter or the presence of Naomi's rescue team.. Suddenly another familiar face appeared outside the small rounded window. It's Mikhail with a bomb in his hand! Charlie readily accepted his fate by locking the room as it became flooded by the onrushing water from the smashed window. Des came running towards Penny's screen but got locked out from the room. He learnt that Naomi wasn't sent by Penny and tearfully said his goodbyes to Charlie.. *sniff sniff* Now that communications with the outside world are back to normal, all Jack has to do is guide his group to the radio tower. Back at the beach, Bernard and Sayid succcessfully shot the dynamites to blow most of the Others but Jin missed his target and this led to all three being captured by Tom, Ryan and one more Other. During Jack's confrontation with Ben, an offer was made to surrender Naomi's sat phone in exchange for Sayid,Jin and Bernard's lives which Jack refused to accept under a minute timeline. Three shots were then heard on the walkie.. His friends are all dead! Ben later became a punching bag and was dragged back to the survivors. Danielle walked towards Alex where Ben finally revealed the truth about Alex's mum. Rousseau's first words to her daughter are "Will you help me tie him up?" LOL!!! Kate asked Jack about what happened and he revealed the fate of their three friends at the beach. Jack had promised Sayid that he will not turn around. He had to let it happen.. In a unique story off-island, we saw a horribly bearded Jack in an Oceanic flight but it doesn't have any of the other familiar looking passengers. He came upon an obituary of an unknown person which led him to a bridge where he tried to commit suicide but failed when a nearby accident occur. Jack has something new to fix! A pregnant Sarah came visiting Jack to see if he was alright and she refused to drive him home as it would be inappropriate. At the hospital where he worked, there is a new chief of surgery called Dr Hamel. He refused to let Jack operate on the victim and questioned the bearded one on how he got to the accident scene so quickly. Jack in turn challenged Dr Hamel to bring his Christian Shepherd in to see who is more drunk.. "You can't help me!", Jack screamed. At "Hoffs/Drawlar" funeral parlor, Jack visited a viewing session after he learnt about an unknown death from the obituary he read on the airplane. Who is in the casket?!?! When he can't get any more Oxycodone prescriptions even when he tried to bluff the counter lady that Christian Shepherd was the one who wrote it, Jack stole some of the pills from the hospital. This guy is really in bad shape. Back on the island, Juliet followed Sawyer back to the beach to find out why there were only two explosions. Hurley wanted to come along but got rejected once again. When they finally reached there, Sayid/Jin/Bernard were seen held hostage. They didn't get shot after all! Juliet told Sawyer they didn't have any guns so it would be better they stay put first. Out came a vehicle from the jungle driven by Hurley! He rammed onto Ryan which lead to Sawyer taking a gun and pointing to another enemy near Sayid. That wasn't needed as Sayid twisted the guy's neck using just his legs. Awesome. Tom tried in vain to crawl to his gun but was stopped by Juliet. He finally surrendered. *Bam!!* "That's for taking the kid off the raft," snarls James Ford. Coolness personified. When Jack was near the radio tower, there was a familiar voice on the walkie.. "Attention Others. Come in Others. If you're listening to this, I want you to know that we got you bastards..." Hahahahaaa it's Hurley telling everyone the good news! At the radio tower, Danielle revealed that she recorded the French messages three days before Alex was born. Naomi tried to get her rescue party signal after Danielle's recording was turned off. Suddenly, something hit Naomi from the back.. a knife thrown by Locke! How did he..? Back at the ditch, Locke woke up and found out that his legs are crippled once again along with the gun shot wound. When this actually happened is not known. Locke took a gun from a Dharma corpse and pointed it to his head. Might as well end this all, yah? Whispers were now heard and the return of Smokie in the form of Walt! Notice that this apparation called Locke by his first name all throughout. He told Locke that he can move his legs and want him to get out of the ditch. Why? "Because.. you have work to do." Somehow the island told Locke to stop Naomi from making the connection as it will lead to people discovering their location which the island as well as Locke/Ben don't want it to happen. After Naomi died, Jack challenged Locke to shoot him when asked to put the phone down. Ben, who now understood Locke's intentions, tried hard to convince Locke to kill Jack but got knocked out by Danielle. "Jack.. you're not supposed to do this." Locke finally allowed the connection to be made and walked away. The rescue team are coming! In the last scene, bearded version of Jack made a call to someone asking that person to meet him at an airport landing strip. That mysterious person he had been trying to contact was actually Kate Austen! But then, this was no flashback story. It's a flash forward! Their speech had many weird meanings. Who is Kate seeing at the moment that made her afraid to be away? What is Jack sick of lying about? Why does he want to go back to the island so much? Why did Kate hatingly refused to go to the funeral? Why weren't they supposed to leave the island? Are they one of the handful of people who got rescued? *head hurts* From 'Exodus', Jack said: "I don't believe in destiny" at which Locke replied: "Yes you do. You just don't know it yet." The man of science has finally realised how true John Locke's words are.. Looks like I'm gonna be chanting a new D.h.a.r.m.a mantra called "Is it February yet?" every other random day of the month for the next eight months...

Kylie Minogue has reportedly hired a team of personal assistants to help her find a man. She has been single since splitting from her French actor fiance and is now on the lookout for a "handsome and successful" man and is willing to pull out all the stops to find her "Mr. Right." She is hoping her management team will play cupid and help her find "The One." Her spokeswoman said: "She wants the guy to be handsome and he'll have to be very successful or she'll get bored. But much more importantly he has to be reliable. The implications when Kylie chooses a new boyfriend are massive and she's determined not to repeat the same mistakes again." Good luck.
