Kidman, Jackman get steamy

Vote for Paris! Hilton 'enters' election race with spoof ad

Paris Hilton has thrown her hat into the US presidential race, revealing her intention to campaign against "that wrinkly white-haired guy" with an election promise to paint the White House pink if elected. The mock nomination was made in response to Republican candidate John McCain's controversial use of a photo of her in a campaign television spot last week, with a spoof ad posted on the website Funnyordie.com.
In an ad more reminiscent of Reese Witherspoon's character's attempt to get into college in Legally Blonde, the 27-year-old appears reclining on a sun lounger beside a swimming pool, dressed only in a skimpy leopard-print bathing costume.

"Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton and I'm a celebrity too," Hilton parades. "Only I'm not from the olden days and I'm not promising change like that other guy. I'm just hot!

"But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I'm running for president. So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude, and I want America to know I'm, like, totally ready to lead."

Hilton proceeds to offer an alternative US energy strategy and signs off by declaring that she is now mulling her choices for vice president. "I'm thinking Rihanna," she said, referring to the singer-songwriter.

"I'll see you at the White House," Hilton adds. "Oh, and I might paint it pink. Bye!"

Franco, Penn turn gay lovers

Spider-Man hunk James Franco has described kissing co-star Sean Penn in the upcoming movie Milk as awkward because it was more than just a peck on the cheek. The two are gay lovers in the biopic of American politician Harvey Milk and Franco says the kissing scene was one of the toughest he has ever had to film.
"We're sitting on the curb, kissing and it's not stopping. A minute doesn't sound like a long time, but, in front of 200 people, it's a long time. He (Penn) had a beard and the beard is scraping me. Afterwards, we were like, 'All right, how are those (Oakland) Raiders (American football team)'." Franco said.  

Calvin Klein’s new ad too hot for U.S.

New Calvin Klein model of the moment Eva Mendes’ new sensual ad for Secret Obsession perfume is so steamy that it’s been banned on TV!
In the 30-second TV spot, Mendes caresses herself, rolls around in an unmade bed and even bares one of her nipples. She then whispers in a husky voice: "Between love and madness lies obession. Love ... madness it’s my secret."
An edited version of the racy TV spot will run on cable TV while the original ad will run abroad.

 Britney Spears, lesbian killer?

Troubled singer and mother Britney Spears is being lined up to play a killer lesbian stripper in Quentin Tarantino's next movie, reports have indicated.
Tarantino is currently working a remake of the 1965 cult film Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! in which Spears was apparently chosen to play dancer Varla. The movie follows three thrill-seeking strippers as they encounter a young couple in the desert.

Spears' character murders the boyfriend with her bare hands before taking the girlfriend hostage. The character role also has sex scenes with another girl before the drama ends in a blood-bath.
Tarantino is in discussions with other Hollywood stars to take the roles of the remaining two strippers.

 Lisa Marie Presley expecting twins

If you've seen Lisa Marie Presley in any photos lately, you may have noticed her rather large size. Large, even for someone who's pregnant. Reason being she's not only pregnant, she's eating for three. The 40-year-old daughter of The King is expecting twins in the fall, as reported yesterday.

It was only when unflattering photos of her eating a large amount of food were published in England that she admitted to being pregnant. Britain's Daily Mail newspaper noted Presley was "piling on the pounds" due to poor diet but was forced to apologize after she sued.

The twins will be her first children with her fourth husband, Michael Lockwood.
