Pierce Brosnan beds Brett Ratner

      New York: Famous for his hot love scenes in Bond movies, Pierce Brosnan got a big shock when he found director Brett Ratner in his bed, instead of Salma Hayek. Ratner, who's directing Brosnan's latest flick 'After The Sunset', decided to get naughty with the hero while he was shooting some bedroom scenes with Salma Hayek. Ratner reportedly sneaked into the bed in Salma's place and cuddled with Brosnon, leaving the actor shocked. "When he went to kiss her, he closed his eyes and I was literally a half an inch from making out with him and he screamed at the top of his lungs and literally jumped out of the bed," The New York Post quoted Ratner as saying.

Roman women' beauty skin cream secrets revealed (Go To Top)

       London: Cosmetic face cream used by fashionable Roman women was discovered at an ongoing archaeological dig in London, in a metal container, complete with the lid and contents. The cream was analysed by scientists at Bristol University and then reproduced. It was found to be composed of refined animal fat, starch and tin. The researchers then created their own version, made with the same ingredients. 'White face paint was fashionable in Roman times and normally derived its colour from a lead compound. A tin compound would have been an acceptable substitute and in good supply from Cornwall.' Professor Richard Evershed from Bristol University was quoted as saying. As the researchers point out, tin has no medicinal value so they conclude that its function must have been as a pigment. The non- toxic properties of tin would have been a plus, because the health risks of lead were becoming recognized by the second century AD. The metal container, complete with the lid and contents - the cream - was discovered at an ongoing archaeological dig in London, UK. As far as the researchers are aware it is the only one ever to be found intact and in good condition.

Art inspired by Beckham to go under the hammer (Go To Top)

      London: English soccer captain David Beckham has become the muse of not one, but 25 artists, who have created works inspired by Beckham which will now go under the hammer at an auction at Christi's. The wackiest piece at the auction is being touted as Wacky Emin's ode to the 'Real Madrid' star, which is a Polaroid shot of her lying in bed in her underwear and writing a letter to Beckham, which is easily legible in the picture. The letter tells Beckham that he is one of the best players that England has ever seen and that he should not give up in the face of criticism, reports the Sun "This may sound strange but sometimes I believe people forget who you are, and what you have achieved, for Britain and your sport, in fact, sometimes it actually makes me quite angry. You are one of the best midfielders England has ever seen, and on top of that, you are a really good captain, who appears to have respect and following from the rest of your team," the letter reads. "Don't let them get you down," she adds.

The name's Potter, Harry Potter (Go To Top)

      London: While the world might think James Bond has to be someone tall, dark and handsome who can make the ladies go weak in the knees, actor Pierce Brosnan, who played the role of the suave double agent for more than 10 years, thinks 'Harry Potter,' actor Daniel Radcliffe would make the perfect Bond. According to Brosnan, although Irish actor Colin Farrel would also be great as Bond, Radcliffe really has what it takes and will grow up to be the perfect Bond. "For the next Bond, Colin Farrell would be great. But if you want to go even younger, Daniel Radcliffe. Give him a few years. You can see it, can't you? He'll be great. From Harry Potter to Bond," The Sun quoted him as saying.

Pierce Brosnan wants James Bond to be dead (Go To Top)

      London: James Bond may soon lose his invincible character if Pierce Brosnan has his way. The former 007 agent reportedly wants Bond to die and no more movies to be made on him. Brosnan, 51, says he does want anyone else essaying the spy's role. "I would not like anyone else to be Bond. I would like them to stop there and never do another one," the Daily Mail quoted Brosnan as saying during the preimere of his latest flick 'After The Sunset'. However, on a more serious note, Brosnan admitted that playing Bond was a career-fulfilling experience. "It's a modern franchise so there will be another Bond and whoever does it will have a great time," he said.

Pam's man's ode to manhood (Go To Top)

      London: While Pamela Anderson's autobiography 'Star' might be full of her tales of the orgies and lesbian sex that she was a part of, her ex-husband, rocker Tommy Lee, has gone one step ahead, he has dedicated the first chapter of his autobiography called 'Tommyland,' to his member. The Motley Crue drummer describes the chapter as an ode to his manhood and has an interview with his penis. Lee also admitted that when he first proposed to his wife, he had to write down the lyrics of the song that he was going to sing to her, which included the line 'My baloney has a first name, it's p-e-n-i-s,' lest he forget them, reports Female First. "You can't wing something like that unless you're a freestyle rapper, which I ain't," the report quoted him as saying.

Brad Pitt's car bumper reads 'Small ... onboard' (Go To Top)

       London: Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt recently drove through the streets of Los Angeles displaying a shocking bumper sticker on his car which read 'small penis onboard,' without even being aware of it's presence, all thanks to his co- star George Clooney's idea of a practical joke. Clooney, who stars with Brad in the highly anticipated movie 'Ocean's Twelve,' was reportedly getting back at Brad for a joke that Brad had played on him earlier. Bard had sent a memo to everybody on the sets of the movie asking them to refer to Clooney as 'Mr Ocean,' which is his character's name in the movie, and the crew happily obliged till Clooney caught on a month later. Clooney in turn decided to take a dig at Brad's manhood to get his revenge and stuck a giant sticker on hiss car just as he was about to go out in the rush hour traffic. "Brad was about to drive off and George came up to say goodbye. Brad was sitting in his car and George kind of tapped the car with his hand. When he pulled his hand away, he'd left a bumper sticker that read 'Small Penis Onboard'. So Brad drove through rush-hour traffic in LA with it, and all these people were looking at him and waving," Female First quoted Matt Damon, who also stars in the movie, as saying.
