By Honey Gillard 

In just under 3 months Jessica Alba will have us all saying, ‘Good Luck Chuck’. 

Good Luck Chuck’ is rom-com (romantic comedy) that zones in on the life of unlucky-in-love, Chuck, (Dane Cook) who breaks up with his longtime lady, and is then shocked when he hears the news that she is engaged to her new boyfriend. He finds himself repeating this pattern, and is hopeful that single women will seek him out as a date, so they too will soon find Mr. Right. He then meets Cam Wexler (Jessica Alba), a lovable, but clumsy penguin trainer, who changes his outlook on love.

So we’ve got the lovely Jessica Alba and Mr. Dane Cook, but who else has lent their talents to this film? Well, the cast also includes Annie Wood, Chelan Simmons [Final Destination 3], Dan Fogler and Jodelle Ferland. (NOTE: Both Simmons and Ferland have starred in hit T.V show ‘Supernatural].

Good Luck, Chuck’ is set for cinema release on the 24th of August.

Don’t think you can hold out a whole 3 months for some Alba-tastic acting? Well no worries you can see the Hollywood beauty this coming month in ‘Fantastic Four: The Rise OF The Silver Surfer’.

Teri Hatcher on wine: “Don’t throw it out, dump it in your bath!”

By Honey Gillard

Water restrictions have us limiting a baths, but Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher has an answer to our bathing prayers – wine.  

Hatcher has revealed her new use for leftover wine – she bathes in it. She has admitted that she hates being wasteful and when a pharmacist friend told her of all the “good properties” of wine and told her to “dump it in her bath” the desperate housewife found herself enjoying vintage waterless baths.

The actress explains, “When you’re alone you open a bottle of wine and then it’s not really good after four or five days. This make-up chemist that I know was talking about all the good properties in wine - antioxidants and stuff, exfoliating qualities; and she said, `Never throw it out, dump it in your bath.’”

Hehe.. Now ain’t that creative – wonder if Al Gore will be picking this up soon J Though it might be a tad expensive – it’s inventive none-the-less.

Adam Levine: If Maroon 5 Was Ugly We’d Be Taken Seriously

By Honey Gillard

Maroon 5 are not marooning their fans this month with worldwide touring, interviews and news…news…news…

Recently Adam Levine, front man of the ‘shivering’ band has announced that he resents the group’s boy band image. The singer has insisted that this boyish image makes people take them less seriously- and that they’d be taken more seriously if they were ugly.

He says, “There is a boy band thing that still hovers around us and people think we’re lightweight because of that. But we’re a proper group. We can really play.”

“If we were five overweight, middle-aged guys, people would take us more seriously.”

Levine continues stating that the band won’t change who they are and what they do just for just to please journalists – they are who they are; a pop group.

Levine says: “We won’t apologize for what we are. We’re a pop group, and we’re not going to make videos where we all look dirty.”

The ladies-man has also revealed that, unlike many other bands, he is just the front man of the group – the singer if you may – he is not in control of the group.

Levine would actually love to tone down the drumming in their music, but accepts that the change isn’t being made, as he isn’t in control of the group. He persists that life in Maroon 5 is an equal collaboration between all members and his wishes are not always fulfilled.

He says, “If I had things my way, we’d have a smaller drum kit and (guitarist) James (Valentine) would have only one effects pedal. But it’s not a solo project. It’s a band. There are tensions and differences, just as with any band.”

Maroon 5’s long-awaited second album ‘It Won’t Be Soon Before Long’ will be released next weekend.

Austin Powers 4? Yeah Baby

By Honey Gillard

Everyone’s favourite shagadelic spy, Austin Powers, is set to be bringing his groovy ways back for a fourth time.

Austin Powers’s multi-star Mike Myers, who is currently promoting his newest release movie ‘Shrek: the third’, recently revealed to ‘Movie hole’ that he is “eyeing an Austin Powers 4”.

The installment is said to already have a “fully conceived idea” behind it and will this time focus more on Dr. Evil than the ‘International Man of Mystery’ himself, Austin Powers – taking a fresh twist from the previous three instalments. (Though when you think about it they’re the same actor anyway so it’s sure to be hilarious’).

Myers, 43, says:  “There is a fully conceived idea for a fourth and I can just say that it’s from Dr Evil’s point of view, so if you balanced how much of it was Austin with Dr Evil, it’s more Dr Evil than Austin.”

The rest of the cast is not yet ‘officially’ known but one can only assume that it’ll feature such previous stars as ‘Buffy’ star Seth Green (who plays Dr. Evil’s son, Scott), Mindy Sterling (who plays Frau, Dr. Evil’s love interest in the previous 3) and a lovely lady (as we could conclude from the previous roles of Elizabeth Hurley, Beyonce and Heather Graham).

Who will be Austin’s bag, baby? Perhaps some of the Shrek cast will lend Austin their talents. It has been almost 5 whole years since the release of ‘Austin Powers in Gold member’, which featured such Hollywood stars and starlets as Micheal Caine, Beyonce Knowles and Micheal York. And a whole 10 years since first shouted those two famous words, “Yeah Baby!”

Nicole & Paris are Bazaar (Guess who Paris wants to be when she’s older?)

By Honey Gillard 

Recently jailed socialite Paris Hilton and her ‘Simple Life’ on-again-off-again BFF Nicole Ritchie share their ‘bazaar’ words with the one-and-only ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ magazine.    

We all know (especially after recent events) that Paris has a little, hold on, make that rather quite a bit of trouble with the law – with getting jailed and all. But what you may not have known is that Paris believes that she gets “in more trouble just because of who she is.”  Paris, 26,  says: “I think I get in more trouble just because of who I am. The cops do it all the time. They’ll just pull me over to hit on me. It’s really annoying. They’re like, ‘What’s your phone number? Want to go to dinner?’ They won’t even give me a ticket. They just pull me over, and the paparazzi, of course, take a picture. All the time. I have so many cops’ business cards.” 

“It’s weird sometimes. I think people think I’m not human.” 

“They feel like they know me from seeing me in all those things, and they come up with their own explanation of what they think I am. They say, ‘She doesn’t work.’ I work! Every single day, I’m travelling around the world. I wouldn’t have been able to do this, without working. It’s just annoying to me that people think things like that.”

Will Paris Hilton be the future Martha Stewart. Well, Paris reports: “Maybe when I’m old.”

On falling out with Nicole in 2004 the blonde bombshell revealed: “There was no reason why we were fighting; it was just silly. We believed what other people were saying. People are really twofaced in this town, and they were trying to play us against each other. It made me sadder than any break-up with a boyfriend. It was just like the worst feeling ever.”

Nicole on the other hand reveals her philosophy on her scrapes with the law, saying: “Every mistake I make, there’s consequences, I don’t take anything lightly.”

She continues clearly stating that she is “clearly not” above the law.

She says: “Well, clearly I’m not! Otherwise, it would be smooth sailing. I get caught for everything!”

So what does little miss. Ritchie have planned for her future?

Well the young socialite reveals to the magazine: “My plan was not to be a celebrity. My plan was to be a singer and an entertainer. I wanted to go to NYU, major in musical theatre, do Broadway, and come out with an album. Unfortunately, I started playing up when I was in my teens.”

As all girls have to inevitably deal with in some point of their life Nicole also has to deal with losing friends to gossip and realizing who her true friends are.

“This year, my biggest struggle has been realizing that some people close to me are not good for my life. I’m a girl and I love to gossip, but when I hear that people I consider friends are talking about me, it really hurts my feelings. It’s not, ‘Is Nicole okay?’ but more like, ‘I heard that Nicole blah-blah.”

Who loves rock ‘n’ roll? Nicole loves Rock ‘n’ roll.

“I like really pale, I like really skinny, I like people that kind of look homeless. Back in the day, it would have been David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix…”

The new ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ issue hits newsstands on May 22.
