CELEBRITY GOSSIP

TV’s hottest hunk named

America’s In Touch Weekly magazine has named the winner in its poll of the sexiest men on TV. Leading the pack is Josh Holloway, the star of the smash hit series, Lost. The hunky Josh (sadly recently married) plays Sawyer in the show, often without a shirt, but always with a sardonic grin on his face. Runners up in the poll included his Lost co-star Matthew Fox, who plays Jack, John Stamos, David Boreanaz, Jared Padalecki and Patrick Dempsey.

Brando chews on a different kind of cigar

There have been many stories about Marlon Brando’s bisexual escapades over the years, but a new biography takes the rumours to a whole new level. Titled Brando Unzipped, by Darwin Porter, the book will include a photograph of the legendary late actor with another man’s penis in his mouth. A spokesperson for the publishers told the New York Daily News, “We ran it at a tasteful two inches by one and three-quarter inches on page 404”. It’s not been revealed when the picture was taken or who the other man was. Before Brando became the large bloated man remembered in his later life, he was one of the most beautiful men to ever grace the silver screen. In our learned opinion at least…

Will & Grace officially to end

There’s been speculation for some time, but it’s now official. Will & Grace, everybody’s favourite sitcom, is to finally bow out later this year after eight years at the top. The show’s US network, NBC, has announced that the series will have a two hour finale on the 18th of May. “It is a bittersweet moment for all of us at NBC,'” said NBC Entertainment President Kevin Reilly in a statement. No much has been revealed about the concluding episode, but it will apparently include a baby and a wedding. The Emmy Award winning show’s actors are already embarking on new jobs, with Megan Mullally set to host her own talk show.

Madonna sports a new look at Gaultier show

Madonna was spotted in Paris this week at long-time pal and collaborator Jean Paul Gaultier’s runway show. The star revealed a new look that had some asking if she’s recently had work done on her face. While her youthful looking features were impressive, the 47 year old’s hairstyle caused something of stir, thanks to the amount of forehead on show, leading some to ask if she’s got a receding hairline. The singer was in Paris after shooting her latest music video in London for the single Sorry. The video is a sequel of sorts to the Hung Up video and features roller-skating and lots of disco balls. As a reward, she splashed out on a £900,000 second London house next door to her current home – apparently to house her staff.

Has Sienna dumped Jude for Darth Vader?

Sienna Miller and Jude Law have apparently split up again, but this time it’s said to be for good. The on-off-on-again couple have had their relationship dissected by the media after the wayward Jude confessed publicly to having had an affair with his children’s nanny last year. Lending credence to the rumours, Sienna has been spotted getting very friendly and cosy with sexy young actor Hayden Christensen – the star of the Star Wars prequels. The two are working together on the film Factory Girl in Louisiana, USA.

Elton John runs with scissors…

Camp pop outfit Scissors Sister, headed by the openly gay and very hot Jake Shears, are working on their next album, with Sir Elton John! The follow up to their hit debut CD, which is due in stores later in the year, will include a collaboration with the legendary singer titled I Don’t Feel Like Dancing. Shears has described the new album as mishmash of upbeat disco songs, Sixties psychedelia and glam rock. We can’t wait!

Can Michael Jackson get any weirder?

The answer to that is probably yes. The fallen-from-grace pop-star has been sighted shopping in Bahrain wearing a veil, a black robe traditionally worn by women in the region, and black gloves. He appeared to be with his three children who were wrapped in black scarves while visiting the Marina Mall in the city. Michael is in self-imposed exile in the Persian Gulf as a guest of Sheik Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa following his acquittal in the media-frenzied child molestation trial in June last year. Jackson caused a stir in November when he was found in a woman’s bathroom in a Dubai mall. His camp claimed that he did so mistakenly, and denied rumours at the time that he had been applying makeup in the toilets.
