Keira Knightley is scared of the paparazzi  (Go To Top)

     London: Hollywood star Keira Knightley has revealed that she is extremely scared and wary of the paparazzi. The 'King Arthur' star said that she is not bothered about getting clicked when not looking her best, but feels terrified of the fact that complete strangers follow her everywhere. "I don't mind a bad picture. I'd prefer there not to be one, obviously, but I don't like the idea of a guy you don't know following you around when you are on your own," femalefirst quoted Keira as saying. "Especially when they are in cars with blacked out windows. It's threatening. The photos, I just think, 'Whatever' - but it's unnerving that it could be anyone taking them and you can't see them," added the stunning actress.

Hugh Grant, Simon Cowell not getting married in 2005 (Go To Top)

     London: Ladbrokes bookies have claimed that Hugh Grant and Simon Cowell are the celebrities least likely to get married in 2005. The bookies gave odds of 16/1 on 'X Factor' judge Cowell marrying his girlfriend Terri Seymour next year. They also offered odds of 10/1 on Hollywood star Hugh Grant saying 'I Do' to Jemima Khan in 2005. Lisa Snowdon is also thought to have little chance of becoming George Clooney's better half in 2005, with bookies taking money at odds of 8/1 that this pair will tie the knot. "We fancy that George Clooney and Hugh Grant will remain bachelors in 2005 - no woman will manage to get them down the aisle," Ananova quoted Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush as saying. "Lisa will remain a part-time girlfriend for George's London visits, while we fancy Hugh and Jemima's relationship is at too early a stage to consider wedding bells," he added. Meanwhile, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are thought to have the safest and most stable marriage in showbiz. "We don't expect to see much money at 25/1 on them to divorce. This said, last year bookies got it badly wrong and offered 25/1 on the Beckham's getting divorced, convinced there wasn't a chance that it could happen. In 2005, a Posh and Becks permanent split is only 4/1," said Lush.
