To Top)
London:
Bratz, the new doll on the block, has upstaged Barbie,
which has been every little girl's favourite doll for the
last 45 years. According to the Telegraph, Barbie does not
feature on the Toy Retailers' Association's annual list
of top 10 toys for Christmas while Bratz, the trendy new
doll made it to the list. Although Mattel, the manufacturers
of Barbie, have tried to upgrade the doll and keep up with
the latest fads, but have failed to compete with Bratz.
"They are brat-pack girls and boys with a passion for fashion
and that's what girls of this age want," Emma Sherski, marketing
director of Vivid Imaginations, which imports Bratz from
America, was quoted as saying. Sarah Allen, the public relations
manager for Mattel UK , however differed on the issue. "Bratz
outsold us for one month only, in August. Barbie is still
top and will be top this Christmas," she was quoted as saying.

from their flat in Calpe, Benidorm. "After I killed her,
I cut her body into small parts, eating what part of her
I found eatable. I disposed of what was left in small rubbish
bags. I was only violent to her once and that was when I
killed her," The Sun quoted Durrant as saying in the letter.
"Before I killed Karen I told her I had come to Spain where
I was going to kill and eat paedophiles. My mental state
was breaking down at this stage. I believed God had delivered
her to me and I was getting messages from the telly," added

it showed Rebecca Loos, the alleged former mistress of David

my stomach," said Ian Millar, a 32-year old viewer.
Kate
Beckinsale can't bend because of breast implants (Go

London:
British actress Sienna Guillory is claiming that Kate
Beckinsale is hell bent on acquiring a diva status, and
to ensure it, she (Beckinsale) has had a clause put into
her contract that forbids disclosure of the `Pearl Harbour'
star having undergone breast implants. Sienna, who stars
in upcoming film `Resident Evil 2', has criticised Beckinsale
for giving in to the superficial world of Hollywood. "In
Hollywood, women hate each other. Everyone is so bitchy,
because it's all about looking pretty and they don't want
younger actresses coming in and taking their roles," femalefirst
quoted Sienna as saying. "You only have to look at what
it's done to Kate Beckinsale. She used to be cool. Now I've
heard she's got a clause in her contract saying she can't
be filmed bending over at more than a 45 degree angle because
her boob implants slide up to her collar bone," she added.
Beckinsale's agent, Jane Brand, however, has rejected Sienna's
allegations as baseless and unfounded. "I do her (Beckinsale's)
contracts and this is absolutely untrue. She has no such
clause in her contracts and she has categorically not had
breast implants," Brand said.
