Bond has broken teeth after a punch
Washington:
He may be saving the world from being destroyed by bad
guys in his upcoming James Bond movie 'Casino Royale', but
actor Daniel Craig must be rueing the day he had to fight
with some minor actors, for he recently received a punch
that left him both bleeding and toothless. According to
a movie insider, the British actor was left bloodied, and
with broken teeth while filming a fight scene in the Czech
capital of Prague. "Daniel was filming with some minor actors
when he got hit in the face. He was reeling from a heavy
blow and staggered back holding his face. He put his hand
to his mouth but the blood started to seep through his fingers
- it was horrible," Contactmusic quoted the source, as saying.
The 'Munich' star not only had to have his London-based
dentist flown out to fix caps onto his broken teeth, but
he now has to wear gumshields during action scenes for protection.

Washington:
After four months of their divorce, former celebrity
couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston have finally divided
their properties and assets, which they jointly held before
separation. The pair have concluded their 60 million dollar
divorce settlement, which entitles the former Friends star
to assume sole ownership of their 29 million dollar Beverly
Hills mansion, while handing over the lucrative film company
Plan B Productions to the Fight Club actor, reports Contactmusic.

production firm, which is believed to be worth more than
50 million dollars after a string of 12 successful independent
movie releases, including Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
The high-profile pair agreed the share-out through their
lawyers just days before Aniston's 37th birthday on Saturday

Washington:
The cast of Desperate Housewives are keeping a close
guard on their knickers, as they are scared of their skimpy
frilly underwears being auctioned off to the public. The
actresses have had their lingerie locked up, after some
of the panties of actress Eva Longoria were raided by a
thief, who reportedly wanted to auction the undergarments
and cash in on fame of the sexy stars, on the set of ABC's
popular night time soap opera Desperate Housewives. Fortunately
he was chased off before he could grab even more. Lingerie
belonging to Nicolette Sheridan and Teri Hatcher is also
suspected to have gone astray. "Nobody knows if the guy
is just a weirdo or a hustler trying to make a few bucks
on eBay, but security got to him and chased him away," Contactmusic
quoted an insider, as saying. "The actresses are furious
at the thought of their most intimate clothing being auctioned
off to the public," the insider added.

Sydney:
Reports that music icon Madonna's five-year marriage
to British director Guy Ritchie is on the rocks have been
further fuelled by rumours that the singer has sought the
help of Kabbalah rabbis to help save her crumbling marriage.
According to a source, the 'Hung Up' singer is distressed
by the pressures that are being put on her relationship
to Ritchie, and that it has prompted her to seek the counsel
of the leaders of the mystical Jewish religion. "She has
confided in teachers about her fears for her marriage. They
have been discussing what she should do, as being able to
hold on to love and making marriage work is one of the things
Kabbalism is supposed to help," the Daily Telegraph quoted
the source, as saying. "Recently she has only been interested
in talking to the teachers and a small group known as the
inner sanctum. She seemed down in the dumps," the source
added. The source further revealed that the teachers of
the sect had advised the singer to wait until the April
12 Passover festival before making any decisions, for by
that time she will be able to see things more clearly.

all riled up for all the wrong reasons when she stopped

in, says something to the cabby and then walks back to the
curb, where Halle and a group of people were standing chatting.
Well, seven minutes pass and the cab is still sitting there
and they are chatting in front of the restaurant. Meanwhile,
there is now a pile-up of five cars that can't get down
the block because of the stopped cab. Horns are honking,
drivers are screaming out their windows, it was mayhem!"

estate mogul was just not enough for music icon Madonna,
for the 'Hung Up' singer has now added 'entrepreneur' to
her list of professions by setting up a limited company
named 'Semtex Girls' in the UK. And though the singer isn't

said that the 'Semtex Girls' portrays a new breed of women
who are dynamic, and who just won't take no for an answer.
"The Semtex Girl is a girl who is dynamic, a girl who explodes,
who doesn't know the meaning of nine to five, a girl who
is unstoppable and who doesn't take no for an answer. And
has excellent taste," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
However, the 'Queen of pop' is reassuring male fans that
they are not exempted from this enterprise, and that they

London:
'Blue' band member Simon Webbe has revealed that nothing
turns him on more than a pair of great legs - especially
those of singer Britney Spears. The 'All Rise' singer said
one look at Spears' legs had turned his head, and what he
now looked for in a woman was a great pair of legs. "I used
to have a thing about women with nice nails, but then I
saw Britney for the first time, and I thought her legs were
unbelievable. I love her calves - they're so well defined,"
Femalefirst quoted him, as saying. And, for Simon, nothing
can beat a pair of good legs in stockings or fishnets. "I'm
so into women with good legs, and it's even sexier when
they're wearing stockings or fishnets," he added.

again (Go

Washington:
Halle Berry had to write "I will not make 'Catwoman
2'" on a chalkboard four times in order to earn her pudding
pot as Harvard's Hasty Pudding woman of the year on Thursday.
The Hasty Pudding Award is bestowed annually by the Hasty
Pudding Theatricals society at Harvard University to performers
who have made "a lasting and impressive contribution to
the world of entertainment". The ceremony saw Berry receive
a brass pudding pot from America's oldest college drama
troupe. Berry's performance in Catwoman, a critical flop,
earned her the worst actress award at last year's Razzies,
the spoof Oscars ceremony for Hollywood's worst. The movie
went on to win the worst picture, director and screenplay
awards. Berry, who was the first African American to win
an Academy Award for Best Actress for 2002's Monster's Ball,
acted out scenes from the film and danced with "Dogman,"
a student dressed like a French poodle. Richard Gere was
named the Hasty Pudding Man of the Year and will be honoured
next week.
