Washington:
Pop star Janet Jackson will visit David Letterman on
March 29. According to Eonline, the appearance will mark
Janet's first TV interview since she experienced a nipple-shield-baring
wardrobe malfunction during a performance with Justin Timberlake
on Feb 1 at Super Bowl halftime show. Besides the 'Late
Show' with Letterman, Jackson's image rehab- slash-record
promotional tour will take her to ABC's 'Good Morning America'
on March 31 and the syndicated 'On Air' with Ryan Seacrest
on April 2. Jackson will sing on 'Good Morning America'
and 'On Air' but will only talk on Letterman's show. Meanwhile,
a CBS spokeswoman for 'Late Show' has said that no restrictions
have been placed on the Jackson interview. Last month, CBS,
which aired the Super Bowl, barred Jackson from appearing
on its Grammys telecast when she refused to issue an in-show
apology, for her controversial breast exposure. However,
the Late Show appearance is particularly well timed for
Jackson, coming one day before her latest album 'Damita
Joe' will hit stores, the report adds.

Washington:
Pop star Victoria Beckham and supermodel Naomi Campbell's
rivalry has surfaced again after Posh claimed that models
were stupid. The two British beauties were rivals for years
after bitter meetings on the celebrity party circuit, leading
Victoria to label the catwalk queen a bitch and a complete
cow on her popular TV show 'Victoria' Secrets'. Last year
the two public figures had shocked the British media when
they buried the hatchet and signed to model hip-hop mogul
Damon Dash's Rocawear collection together. However, after
hearing the singer questioning the intelligence levels of
ramp queens, Campbell has renewed her frosty glare for the
wife of soccer sensation David Beckham. "Do you know what
she said? I'm not a model. Models are stupid!' Well I do
it nearly everyday. I'm blessed to be working. Flattered,"
rate the music quoted a furious Campbell as saying.
Gibson
wants to make a flick on Jewish Hanukkah! (Go

Washington:
Mel Gibson seems to have been caught by the Passion
of making movies! According to a report in IMDB.com, the
Hollywood star is now contemplating wielding the directorial
baton for his next religious flick, based on the origins
of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Gibson had to face the
flak from some quarters of the Jewish church, who accused
his epic, the Passion of the Christ, of blaming Jews for
Jesus Christ's death. The "Braveheart" has expressed his
desire to pan a filmed account of the "Revolt of the Maccabees",
the tale behind Hanukkah. "The story that's always fired
my imagination is the Book of Maccabees. The Maccabees family
stood up, and they made war. They stuck by their guns and
they came out winning. It's like a western," Gibson, 46,
said. The Maccabees led a three-year war, 200 years before
the birth of Jesus, against Antiochus, a king who forced
the Jews to worship false gods. The war led to the liberation
of Jerusalem. Gibson's interest in Jewish history concerns
the Jewish Anti-defamation League. "My answer would be,
'Thanks but no thanks.' The last thing we need in Jewish
history is to convert our history into a western," National
director Abe Foxman, was quoted by the report as saying.

Angelina
Jolie dumps acting for flying! (Go

Washington:
Hollywood femme fatale Angelina Jolie wants to become
a pilot so that she can ferry aid workers and food supplies
around the world and impress her young son Maddox with her
jet setting adventures. The Tomb Raider actress is studying
hard for her licence and has given herself a five-year deadline
to master flying so that she can take to the skies on a
whim, reports Imdb. Jolie insists she'll withdraw from acting
once she masters the cockpit, and spend more time working
for the United Nations, for which she's an ambassador for
refugees. "My dream is to retire in a few years and take
six months and deliver food and help people get from one
place to another and just loan out services as a pilot and
be with my kids. I could just go. "Part of this motivation,
I'm convinced, is that every time Mad sees a plane he goes,
'Ahhhhh! Mama!' And the idea that I could actually fly a
plane by the time he's four? I'll be like Superman to him.
"We could get to Ireland in a half hour. 'What do you want
to do Mad? You want to go get Ice Cream in Spain?'", the
actress, who has a home in England, was quoted as saying
by the report.

Washington:
Movie actor Orlando Bloom is set to be the next James
Bond after Irish actor Pierce Brosnan retires as 007. The
British actor, who played elf Legolas in the JRR Tolkien
film trilogy, is in meetings with Bond producers, who are
desperate for Bloom to play the sexy spy. "They are pulling
out all the stops to get him. Orlando would be perfect for
the part as he's got the looks, the charm, the accent and
the high profile that would make Bond even more popular,"
TeenHollywood quoted a Bond source as saying. "They want
to move away from the traditional image of James Bond -
the older, suave gentleman - and believe a younger, trendier
actor will attract friends," added the source. However,
the 'Lord of the Rings' star's spokesman said, "No decision
had been made about him taking the role."

urinals are women's 'lipsticked mouths'! (Go

Sydney:
Virgin Airlines always promises excellent and unique
service but urinals shaped like a wide open woman's mouth
may just have crossed the boundaries of good taste. According
to a report in the Advertiser, Virgin Atlantic has installed
the Dutch-designed urinals, complete with lipstick, in its
flash new passenger clubhouse at New York's JFK airport.
The lounge also offers limousines, a giant waterfall, reflecting
pool, movies, video games, sumptuous dining and bar facilities
to trans-Atlantic passengers. However, the lipsticked urinals
have left mouths agape. The urinals called 'Kisses' was
designed by female Dutch illustrator and designer Meike
van Schijndel through her company, Bathroom Designs. "This
is one target men will never miss," says the company of
its seductive and sexy urinal. Interestingly, the company
is also marketing toilets shaped and painted like flowerpots,
adds the report.
