London:
Hollywood hunk Colin Firth has reportedly ruled out his
chances of taking part in a third sequel of the hit Bridget
Jones' series. The star admitted that the story of the thirty-something
singleton played by Renee Zellweger, has nowhere left to go.
He confessed that all the others actors are also reluctant
to sign up again. "In the abstract, it's unthinkable. I can't
think where a sequel would go," Femalefirst quoted Firth as
as saying. "The only way where I could possibly imagine (a
third film) being interesting is that if it showed us in an
advanced state of decrepitude. Really, puncturing the fairy
tale completely might be a way to take it," he added.

London:
Rumours are circulating that Liz Hurley has undergone
surgery to improve the look of her lips. The stunning actress
reportedly arrived at a New York promotional event for Estee
Lauder, the make-up brand she has a two million pound contract
with, and proudly showed off her predominant pout. Leading
plastic surgeon Dr Lucy Glancey believes that the "Bedazzled"
star has surgically enhanced her lips. "When Liz first became
famous she had rather thin lips. There has been a dramatic
transformation," the Daily Mail quoted Glancey as saying.
"She has quite obviously had some sort of enhancement and
it looks like this has been achieved with a semi-permanent
injection or Reastilane, which is similar to collagen but
lasts much longer," she added. However a spokesman for Liz
refused to comment on whether the actress had undergone any
lip enhancement procedures.

and firm about not stripping on screen.We are talking about
Juhi Babbar, the daughter of Lok Sabha MP and well known Bollywood
actor Raj Babbar. Here in Pakistan to act in a play, Juhi
told the Daily Times and other Pakistan media representatives
that she doesn't believe in exposing and wouldn't expose throughout
her film career. "My reason for performing in only one film
is that the 14 films that offered roles to me required some
form of nudity. I want perform in a good role, not exhibit
my body," she said." There is a trend in Bollywood termed
'glamour' but I call it shamelessness. Actresses in Bollywood,
despite claims of not wanting to expose themselves, have often
exposed themselves. I have never done it and will never do
so." "I am here to perform in a play called 'Ekjute' in the
Rafi Peer Theatre festival with my mother Nadira, who founded
her own theatre company in 1981," she added.
DiCaprio
suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (Go

London:
Leonardo DiCaprio suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,
so much so, that he has to force himself not to step on every
chewing gum stain when walking along and fights urges to walk
through a doorway several times. However, he tried to fight
with it when making his latest movie, 'The Aviator', as his
character, Howard Hughes, also suffered from the disorder,
helping him make his portrayal more realistic. "I let it all
go and never listened to the other voice. I remember my make-up
artist and assistant walking me to the set and going, 'Oh
God, we're going to need 10 minutes to get him there because
he has to walk back and step on that thing, touch the door
and walk in and out again," the Daily Mirror quoted him as
saying. "I let myself do it because I wanted that to come
out. I was trying to be that character but it became really
bothersome - and it continued way after the filming. I can
talk myself through it, whereas Howard Hughes couldn't do
that and people with hard-core OCD can't," he added.
