Prince William now has an official girlfriend
London:
Prince William has been canned skiing the slopes with
pretty babe and fellow student Kate Middleton. According
to the Sun, the 21-year old pair, who are studying at the
same university, have been going around for around for four
months. The royal member and Kate have been trying hard
to keep their romance under the wraps. "They're an item,"
a source said. The prince's pretty babe has joined him at
Highgrove at least three times in the recent past. The lovebirds
have also enjoyed several secret weekend trysts at a remote
cottage on the Queen's Balmoral estate, the report adds.
The
buzz doing the rounds is that the brunette has also met
up with Prince Charles, fuelling rumours that she is a serious
girlfriend. Charles, along with beau Camilla Parker Bowles,
is understood to approve of his son's relationship with
the company director's daughter. Kate first caught the eye
of William soon after arriving at St Andrews University
in Scotland. She took part in a student fashion show - and
sashayed along the catwalk in a see-through lace top worn
over a black bra, with Wills shelling out 200 pounds for
a front row seat at the charity event! "It is true they
are dating and try to spend as much time with each other
as possible, but never in public," the source insisted.
Harry
Potter's growing-up woes (Go

Sydney:
Harry Potter is here to weave his wand again, but it
seems he is not happy in his third year at Hogwarts School
of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Well, new pictures from the
latest film adaptation of JK Rowling's books have revealed
this, according to the Daily Telegraph. The film, to be
released in Australia on June 10, introduces a raft of new
actors and new characters including Gary Oldman as the man
who threatens Harry, Sirius Black. Michael Gambon takes
the role of Professor Dumbledore after the death of Richard
Harris. Dawn French, Julie Christie, Emma Thompson and Timothy
Spall join the cast, Spall as the despised Petter Pettigrew,
aka Wormtail. The new trailer shows Harry and his pals growing
up fast. Now 13, they're more likely to be seen in jeans
and windcheaters now than in their Hogwarts' robes.
According
to the report, new director, Alfonso Cuaron, said he wanted
to explore more teenage themes in the film, making Harry
"realise that demons aren't just things that go bump in
the night but also can be painful emotions, worries about
family, friends, the future." In "Harry Potter And The Prisoner
Of Azkaban", the young wizard learns the truth about his
parents' violent deaths. And Harry has plenty of growing
up to do, as author Rowling is up to her seventh book. Already,
Mike Newell has begun shooting the fourth film, "Harry Potter
And The Goblet Of Fire", which will feature Kate Winslet
among new cast.

is unrivalled by any other Englishman. Beckham has liberated
the style warrior in us all - and for that we salute him,"
the report quoted 'GQ' as saying. In the poll of Britain's
50 best-dressed men of all times, Sir Winston Churchill

said to have become pals with restaurant critic AA Gill

Washington:
Britney Spears is all set to expand her tour itinerary!
According to a report in Eonline, the mangers of the blonde
singer have been holding parleys with promoters in China
about bringing Spears' stage show to the communist country
later this year. Apparently, China's Culture Ministry is
contemplating over an offer from the "Crossroads" actress'
plans of visiting the Chinese republic. If Spears gets the
green signal, it would catapult her as one of the few international
artists to surface in Chinese shores. Others included Mariah
Carey and veteran British rockers Deep Purple, who are due
to perform in Beijing and Shanghai this week. The pop princess,
who was sidelined last week by a bum knee that forced her
to cancel two weekend performances of her current North
American Onyx Hotel tour, has since recovered and is back
on the road supporting her latest disc, "In the Zone".
Kate
Winslet's water woes (Go

New
York: After spending hours in freezing water while shooting
scenes for the Oscar-winning "Titanic", Kate Winslet thought
she knew her way around water. So, she wasn't troubled about
doing a scene in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
in which she and co-star Jim Carrey are in an oversized
kitchen sink, according to Teen Hollywood. "Guys don't talk
to me about how long we have to be in water. Hello, been
there, done that. I wasn't remotely fazed by it," she told
reporters recently. But the water was hot, and after about
three hours, Winslet felt light-headed. "I got out and I
was like, 'Can I have some water,' and I fainted", the 28-year-old
actress added.
