Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) has been blog fodder for months, mainly focusing on her oh-so-obvious breast implants. The excessive roundness that she displays is very consistent with breast implants which are high profile (rounder than traditional discus-shaped implants), overfilled, and likely on top of the muscle. When the native breast tissue disappears due to a low body fat percentage, there is nothing covering the implants but skin. This causes the shape of the implants (round) to be very apparent. In addition, some women who start out with no breast tissue at all (AA cup) have their implants literally make up their entire breast. This also predisposes to a less natural result. Of note, because she is British, there is a distinct chance she has the silicone gel implants which are not allowed to be placed in this country outside of government studies. No matter, she was always my favorite Spice Girl.

Dave and Paris party

Recently single Dave Navarro doesn't seem to be wasting any time getting back in the dating game, as he was spotted flirting with a bevy of blondes at a party one of whom was Paris Hilton.

Rocking up to the bash at the heir-head's home, the former Jane's Addiction guitarist and ex-husband of Carmen Electra was surrounded by girls all evening, Life & Style Weekly reports.

And that includes hostess Paris herself - the magazine quotes an onlooker as saying: "They were quite the pair, the drunken heiress and the lascivious rock star.

"I don't even think she knew she was talking to Dave. I think she thought he was a tree."

'Hermione' unsure about Harry Potter plans

She has grown up on-screen playing Hermione, but Emma Watson is yet to confirm that she will continue appearing in the Harry Potter films.

Committing to the next two films, which are in the early stages of pre-production, would mean that Watson would play the character until she was 20.

But the actress has other plans for her future.

"I love to perform, but there are so many things I love doing," the 16-year-old said.

"Maybe that sounds ungrateful. I've been given such an amazing opportunity, but I'll just have to go with the flow."

Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry, and Rupert Grint, who completes the trio as Ron Weasley, are currently in negotiations and look set to appear in the final two films.

Producer David Heyman, who has been with the franchise since the original film rights were acquired from J.K Rowling, says that he is quietly optimistic that the three actors will return to the project.

"It would be a hard thing to change and it would be disrupting," he said.

"I would love them all to see it through to the end. I adore themI feel like an uncle or godfatherbut ultimately they have to do what's right for them. This is their lives."

The fifth film in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, is currently filming north of London.

Hollywood heavyweights to produce Asian epic

Harvey and Bob Weinstein, the producers of cinematic treats such as Chicago and Kill Bill, are adding a new film to their resume.

The powerful producers will be releasing a Kazakhstan-produced film, Nomad, which has been described as an epic about "courage and romance".

The $40 million film is being made by the central Asian country to boost tourism and give the world an accurate depiction of the country that has been satirised in the latest Sacha Baron Cohen film, Borat.

Borat Sagdiyev, a fictional TV reporter played by Cohen, has won many fans for his comical adventures, particularly in his latest film.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is to be released in London around the same time as Kazakhstans leader, President Nursultan Nazarbayev, visits the city.

Kazakhstans foreign ministry spokesman, Yerzhan Ashykbayev, says that the decision to make a big-budget film in his home country is not a direct response to Borat, but said the region does want to show the world what it is really like.

"We understand that Borat is a kind of satire, but it is just a pity that Mr Cohen chose Kazakhstan as the origin of his hero," Mr Ashykbayev told the Times.

"As far as I know, he has never been to Kazakhstan, although there have been efforts on the part of some people here to invite him so that he can see what our country is really like."

Jackson parts with record label

Michael Jackson has parted ways with his record label, Two Seas.

The Bahrain-based record label was due to release his new album, the first from the singer in five years.

It is unclear as to why the two have split but Jackson's spokeswoman Raymone Bain told the BBC that he was no longer affiliated with the label.

Guy Holmes, chairman of UK label Gut Records was named manager of Two Seas and was expected to oversee the production of the album.

However he is also now said to have no affiliations with the singer, and is reported to have never finalised a deal with Jackson.

Reports have suggested that producer Teddy Riley had been lined up to work on the project, but Bain refused to confirm the rumours.

It's the latest announcement in a long line of dramatic splits for the US singer this year. In June he severed ties with his long-term accountants, business managers and attorneys.

In their place he announced plans to launch The Michael Jackson Company with Raymone Bain as the general manager.

Blunt plays for the troops

James Blunt was no doubt feeling a wave of familiarity as he played to members of the British Armed Forces in Kosovo last night.

Before his career as a singer, which has seen him win awards for hit songs such as You're Beautiful, Blunt graduated from the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and served time as an officer for the Life Guards in Kosovo.

No Bravery, one of the tracks on his debut album Back to Bedlam, is inspired by his experiences there.

Speaking to the Sun about his time in the Balkans, Blunt said: "It was high-pressure stuff. I was there during the bombing.

"But I met some extraordinary people. It was quite an experience."

He played in front of hundreds of troops last night and was supported by Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins for the gig.

But although Blunt seems to be able to make time for concerts supporting issues close to his heart, he came under fire at the weekend for failing to back a party organised by his girlfriend, the model Petra Nemcova.

A friend told the Sunday Mirror: "Petra has been really upset because James told her that he would definitely be there. But then he changed his mind and told her he had an important recording to do in Ibiza."

Paris charged with drunk driving

Paris Hilton was charged with drunk driving yesterday, making her supposed late-night dash for a hamburger earlier in the month more costly than she thought.

The celebrity heiress was arrested by police in Los Angeles in the early hours of September 7th after she failed a breath test, which found that her blood-alcohol level was 0.08 per cent, the legal limit in California.

Frank Mateljan, a spokesman for the city's attorney, confirmed that the 25-year-old socialite had been charged on two misdemeanour counts driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood-alcohol level above California's legal limit.

Although the charges carry a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 (£530) fine, if found guilty, Paris is more likely to be given probation and ordered to attend an alcohol-rehabilitation programme, the usual punishment given to first-time offenders.

A court hearing over the case is due to take place tomorrow, although Paris is not expected to attend.

Paris' spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said that the charges against her were nor unexpected.

"We are going to proceed with the judicial process," he said.

Paris, currently promoting her new album overseas, told an LA radio station following her arrest that she was on her way to get a late-night burger when she was pulled over by police, who claim that the star was driving erratically.

The heiress-turned-singer, who claims that she had not eaten anything all day and had consumed just one drink after attending a charity event, denied driving recklessly, but admitted to radio host Ryan Seacrest that she was probably "speeding a little bit".
