Jessica Alba's Love Rival Comes Forward


Jessica Alba's on/off boyfriend Cash Warren has threatened to sue The National Enquirer over a scandalous expose that claims he cheated on the sexy actress with a Russian model.

Just weeks after Warren and Alba reconciled following a summer split, their shaky romance has been hit with a bombshell.

Pretty blonde Vera Mishina tells the publication she spent a night partying with Warren in New York, and then a morning making love to the producer--only to discover she was just "a one-night stand" and her lover was already back with his famous ex.

The 20-year-old Russian passed a "rigorous" lie detector test before the Enquirer ran with her saucy expose, but that hasn't stopped Warren from threatening to sue.

After Mishina gave the publication his cell phone number and a reporter called him to ask for a response to the model's allegations, Warren fumed, "I advise you not to print that if you don't wanna get sued. No comment."

But The National Enquirer went ahead with Mishina's story.

The model reveals, "On the night he picked me up and got me into his bed, he was acting like the world's biggest single man.

"But I found out that only hours after being with me, he was on a plane back to L.A., where he was then photographed having dinner with her (Alba) and acting affectionate."

The spurned model adds, "If he had told me they had gotten back together there's no way I would have allowed him to sleep with me. I now feel like all he wanted was a one-night stand. I feel used.

"Cash wasn't very honest to lead me along like he did. Jessica may want to rethink taking him back. He cheated on her the minute he was away from her."

Warren has hired a lawyer and denies the story.

Simpson wants to get back to her roots


Singer Jessica Simpson is planning to get back to her Texan roots, says her father. She has bought a new cowboy hat and is planning to do a country record.

People.com quoted her father Joe, who is also her manager, as saying: 'Everything in our business is about beats and I think she really wants to sing, and country music still believes in that.'

The singer-actress has just wrapped up shooting for the movie 'Major Movie Star' and wants to get back to music.

Her father added: 'She's a singer from top to bottom. And everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the only pure, storytelling kind of genre left.'

When asked if she would be accepted by country fans he replied, 'She's from Texas. How could she not?'

Keira Knightley embraces mature roles



The last time we saw Keira Knightley, if you live in a city with the latest billboards, she was naked, covering her breasts with a bowler hat and promoting Coco Mademoiselle perfume. Today, she's curled up demurely on the couch of a Toronto hotel room talking about the perils of celebrity and the rewards of acting.

"At the moment it's all good because the work's good," says the 22-year-old actress, an ethereal beauty whose famous blonde slimness has excited the world of celebrity magazines with (hotly denied) rumours of eating disorders. "My job is to act. My job is to provide as entertaining fictions as I can do. My job is to find reality in stories. And sometimes I'm going to be good and sometimes I'm going to be bad. And when I'm bad, that's not good."

When she's good, on the other hand, she's terrific: nominated for an Academy Award for her performance as Elizabeth Bennet in Joe Wright's Pride & Prejudice, and exciting more Oscar talk for her turn as another romantic leading lady, this time in Wright's Atonement, based on Ian McEwan's best-seller about love and tragedy in the years of the Second World War.

And while Knightley cannot completely get past the celebrity side of her life - "when you've got people in your personal space 24/7 it's pretty hard to ignore," she says - she says she's passionate about acting and right now, the good outweighs the bad.



In Atonement, which is a special presentation at the Toronto film festival, she plays Cecilia, a spoiled rich girl on an English estate in 1935 who eventually gives in to the love of a poor boy, the housekeeper's son (played by James McAvoy), only to see their affair torn apart by the war. There's a modern twist as well: McEwan has provided a meta-fictional structure in which Atonement becomes a story about stories, but Knightley says it was the old-fashioned aspects of the book that attracted her.

"As far as '40s filmmaking in Hollywood goes, if you're talking about romantic comedy, that was the peak and the best of the romantic comedies because they weren't sentimental. They were witty. And I personally enjoy that a lot more than the incredibly indulgent sentimentality we go for today. I love the wit. I love the characters in The Philadelphia Story or His Girl Friday.

"As far as British film goes, I'm fascinated by David Lean and Noel Coward. Brief Encounter has been a huge favourite of mine for a long time. When Joe Wright told me he wanted to go back to that 1940 style of acting, that '40s English accent which in my generation has disappeared, that really excited me."

Knightley demonstrates the accent she means: a clipped, nasal way of speaking that helps define Cecilia as one of those women who could barely open her mouth because of the stiffness of her upper lip.



The accent helped her create the character: "I looked at her as a pressure cooker. She's just waiting to explode. She is directionless, and I think that sort of machine-gun pattern of speech helps make it not completely comfortable."

The film, like the book, is designed to keep audiences slightly on edge.

Part of that comes in the fact that Atonement is a fiction within a fiction. Knightley says that although the performers couldn't play that irony - they had to do their parts straight to make it believable - it is in a way what she does every day as a performer. "You're dealing with different people, and they're not realities, but you have to make them real. Which is what this book, in kind of a funny way, deals with. What is fiction and what is fact."

That's especially true of another Knightley movie at the Toronto festival, Silk, a romance set in the 1880s in which she plays Helene, the wife of a businessman (Michael Pitt) who is having an affair with a woman in Japan.

"I wanted to play two very mature roles," she says of Silk and Atonement, which she filmed back-to-back. "It was my break from Pirates of the Caribbean," the trilogy of Johnny Depp adventures that have made her one of the hottest stars in movies and most sought-after interviews at the Toronto festival.

Knightley says she took on the Silk character because it was different. Usually, she tends toward what she calls "Joan of Arc" roles. "I like strident strong women, and I think I was very aware that I was doing a lot of very strong women, and perhaps I should try something else."

She was fascinated by the fact that Helene was selfless, giving her husband whatever he needed despite the fact that she knew he was having an affair.

"It's someone I'm not like at all. I can't understand that kind of selflessness. I find that completely fascinating. And then doing that right next to Cecilia, who is this very brittle kind of selfish character, was really interesting as well."

Knightley won't say she's closer to Cecilia, but she does say that the Atonement heroine is a woman who is easy for audiences to understand. "We're all (awful) on days. It doesn't matter whether you're nice people or good people. It doesn't mean you can't have days when you're just being a bitch to absolutely everybody. And you can even know you're being horrendous but you can't stop yourself. So I think that with Cecilia, it was easier to understand where she's coming from than someone who was that completely selfless."

Jessica Alba loves to down bottles of whisky


Actress Jessica Alba has revealed to a secret vice - she is fond of downing bottles of whisky.

The Hollywood beauty criticizes people who collect bottles of distilled liquor for she considers it to be a waste of alcohol.

Instead, she would rather drink it.

"I drink it with friends and my father. What's the point of collecting it when you are not going to enjoy it," Contactmusic quoted Alba, as saying.

"It is such a short life that you might as well enjoy it," she added.

The actress, who won the female hottie award at the Teen Choice Awards, once asserted that she has one healthy habit of drinking a lot of water. The 26-year-old actress is best known for her roles in Dark Angel, Sin City, Fantastic Four, Into the Blue and Idle Hands.

Jessica Simpson Talks About Movie Making in Shreveport


wice now Jessica Simpson has been in Northwest Louisiana filming two different movies. The first movie, 'Blonde Ambition', was filmed in January. The other, 'Major Movie Star', was filmed just this past summer. While Simpson says she likes Louisiana, the weather she can pass on. "It's very hot here in Louisiana in the summer, it's hot!"
She says some of the bugs gave her the creepy crawlies. "I've had everything crawl up in my hair, people are getting ticks and all kinds of stuff."
In this latest movie Simpson's character, Megan Valentine, goes from actress to private in a sort of 'Private Benjamin' remake. She says, "at the beginning of major movie star it is glamorous because I am a movie star. I'm doing the whole red carpet and everything."
That red carpet scene was shot at the Strand Theatre in downtown Shreveport last month. Simpson says it's the best movie she's done so far. "I have enjoyed myself on this movie pretty much more than anything, I've ever done. I have had such a great time." 'Major Movie Star' isn't due to be released until sometime next year. Some of the army scenes were reportedly filmed at Camp Minden.

Alba reveals her sexy secret


The actress herself doesn’t pay attention to news about her weight.A lot has been said about Jessica Alba’s sexy body, but the actress herself doesn’t pay attention to news about her weight.

The 26-year-old says that she doesn’t take notice of speculations surrounding her alleged weight loss, and adds that she doesn’t diet at all. I don’t listen to it. I don’t read it. I think it would make me crazy if I did, she said.

Alba further said that she doesn’t do anything to keep her sexy frame intact. I haven’t really worked out in two months, but I do like to do yoga. I’m not on a diet, she added. The actress however, admitted to one healthy habit. I drink a lot of water, she said.

Keira Knightley attributes Hollywood success to her body


Actress Keira Knightley has attributed her success in Hollywood to her svelte body.

The Atonement star, who battled the world's obsession with her body image last year, asserted that she owes much of her fame to slim figure.

"I mean I'm an actress and it's a tool, after all," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"It's pretty much all I've got. I've got whatever's in my head, my face and my voice and then there's my body, and that's it. And I do trade on that, of course I do," she added.

Meanwhile the British actress has shunned reports that her image in new ads for fashion house Chanel has been digitally enhanced.

The 'Pride and Prejudice' star insists that all the curves in the picture are 100 percent her own.

"I haven't had curves added to my body for a perfume, I don't think - unless you've seen something I haven't," she said.

Jessica Simpson gives up acting


Yes, she did a better job in music then in movie land. But even the movie “Dukes of Hazzard” showed some acting skills of the pop singer, this time she made a very bad impression about them. And now Jessica is full of shame and maybe she will quit acting, at least for now.

Jessica recently played in a movie called “Blonde Ambition”, a movie that was hard pushed back by the audience, those who saw it at least. There are some reasons that made this movie look boring. The first is about the trailer, you can watch it here, which is a disaster.

In the middle of shooting the movie, Jessica "was not very focused on-set and flubbed her lines often. She always had her dog around, was on the phone with [then-] boyfriend John Mayer or was sitting in a warmed-up SUV," a source states.

The movie is about a blonde that follows her boyfriend and her dream, coming to Ney York and what is up I think you already know. The actors who sustain Jessica in the movie are: Luke Wilson, Paul Vogt and Andy Dick. We’ve seen movie about blondes, remember Reese Witherspoon in “Legally blonde”? Well, she did a great job, the movie and the main characters were beloved by the hole world.

In August 2007, it was announced that the movie would be a straight to DVD release in the U.S

Knightley speaks about naked ads



Keira Knightley has admitted that she is hypocritical with her demands for privacy while appearing naked in adverts.

The actress is currently the star of a high-profile advertising campaign for fashion label Coco Chanel. One advert pictures her naked and covering her breasts with a bowler hat.

In the past she has regularly criticised photographers for following her moves and, in an interview with Vogue, was asked how she could justify her position.

She replied: "Of course I want to have my cake and eat it. Who doesn't want to have their cake and eat it? Show me that person."

Knightley said she was pleased she had posed for the adverts, however, describing them as "something to show the grandchildren".

They were a way of coping with "inadequate" feelings about her body, she added. "When I was 17, 18, 19, I felt incredibly insecure," she revealed to the magazine. "I went through a period of thinking I looked weird and too skinny, and that's ten times worse when you're being written about."

Keira wants no real-life wedding


Keira said that she’s had enough of the wedding ceremonies from her movies, and thus doesn’t want to tie the knot in the near future

Keira Knightley has revealed that she won’t be marrying, because no wedding ceremony could match her on-screen weddings.

The ‘Pride and Prejudice’ actress, who is currently dating co-star Rupert Friend of the same movie, said that she’s had enough of the wedding ceremonies from her movies, and thus doesn’t want to tie the knot in the near future.

“I don’t want to get married in the foreseeable future. I’ve been married five times in films, had three children and countless proposals.

So I think that’s about enough really,” The Sun quoted her as saying.“Also I don’t know how I’d top the wedding I had in Love Actually because it was pretty impressive.” she added.

Meanwhile, Keira also admitted that she is dim when it comes to determining if a man is interested in her. “I always find dating a difficult thing.

I’m so dim that I don’t notice when a guy is coming on to me. Subtlety absolutely doesn’t work for me. You have to be extremely blunt,” she said.

Something's definitely on between Sienna Miller and Ifans!


Actress Sienna Miller might have denied a number of times that she and Rhys Ifans aren't an item, but there's something definitely going on between the two.

The two were spotted cosying up at the bash for Miller and her sister Savannah for their new fashion range Twenty8Twelve.

A source said that Ifans made a mock proposal to Miller as he took of his shirt and kneeled down

"Rhys was kneeling, stripped to the waist, gazing up at Sienna who started shrieking with laughter. It was a bit of a sight, Rhys is the shade of milk and really puny - he looks better with his clothes on than off,' the Mirror quoted the source, as saying.

"And of course he was dripping in beer. After a while Sienna looked a bit embarrassed - especially as all her family were there," the source added.

Recently, Ifans was spotted leaving the 'Factory Girl' star's house, but Miller insisted that the actor was only crashing on her couch

"Rhys is crashing on my couch - we're not sleeping together," she said.

Sienna Miller envies Keira Knightley


The beautiful Sienna Miller has just launched her fashion boutique called "Twenty8Twelve". Her partner is of course her sister Savannah, with which Sienna had a real big party after the launch.

If in the beginning of the big event Sienna and Savannah were looking like a real fashion designers, well at the end the sisters showed how that they can look like real drunks. One of the guests remarked half-ironically that "The girls invited family and friends to join them in toasting their new venture - and boy, did they toast. It went on until the early hours, when they stumbled out of the after party at the Lonsdale bar nearby. They were more than a little worse for wear".



Among friends of Millers sister was the cute Rhys Ifans (the disheveled guy who played Hugh Grant's room mate in Notting Hill). He is hanging around with Sienna for the past weeks. Moreover, Ifans also accompanied Miller to Ibiza and the media was quick to speculate a romance between the two, which they have both repeatedly denied. Apparently, Ifand has crashed on Miller's couch ever since his boathouse was flooded. Many of Sienna's friends however report that they are extremely concerned about her strange behavior lately and are blaming Ifans for Miller's descent into drinking and hard partying.

And talking about the cause of Sienna’s drinking…find out that the girl is in some sort of competition with Keira Knightley, whose career is going extremely well and who is being offered very good roles in very good movies, like for example the one in "Atonement", the latest Venice Film Festival sensation. Miller and Knightley have been working together on the set of the movie "The Edge of Love" and apparently this is where it all started for Sienna.




A friend of Sienna said that "the reason she has been going off the rails and overindulging in the celebrity lifestyle is because she feels she is in Keira's shadow. They are good friends but she feels Keira's star is rising while she is not getting the same glory and not being offered the same high-profile parts. She has been going out on the town a lot as a result but it is beginning to take its toll, particularly as she feels she has to keep up with Rhys, who is a notorious party animal."

There are quite cold words, but I think the problem is in the fact that for someone is not enough to have talent. Let’s take Keira, she is a talented star, more than that she is real working on her career, and she definely is not waisting her time on parties. But Sienna to become as famous as Keira has to make her homework.

Jessica Alba Gets Back At Guy Who Snubbed Her


Somewhere, some guy named Ross is kicking himself for snubbing Jessica Alba when they were in school. When Alba won the Teen Choice Award for best female hottie, she dedicated it to Ross who wouldn't give her the time of day because she was "pigeon-toed," had a "sway back," was "slightly cross-eyed, buck-toothed" and sucked her thumb. Alba finished her speech by saying "Look at me now, Ross!"

Backstage, Alba says Ross had promised to pick her for his baseball team if she kissed him. She did and was still chosen last. She says she "never trusted men again."

Sienna Miller calls photogs 'rapists'


Sienna Miller gave vent to her contempt for photographers by calling them "rapists."

The Factory Girl actress, who looked totally under the influence, was at the opening of her new fashion shop Twenty8Twelve in London's smart Notting Hill with good "friend" Rhys Ifans.

According to sources, Sienna lost it and launched a foul-mouthed rant at the snappers.

"F*** off, you f***ing ****s. See you in court, you f***ing rapists," Miller was quoted shouting at the photogs.

One snapper, who was present at the launch, said that he was offended and shocked by the outburst.

"I was quite flabbergasted. We were just doing our jobs, all we were trying to do was get some quotes on how the opening of the shop went and she called us all rapists," The Sun quoted the photographer, as saying.

"It's an outrageous term to use for such a petty little thing as being at a party and being photographed. It was completely the wrong context to use that word," he said.

Jessica Simpson’s Work Related Accident


Jessica Simpson had a recent scare while filming her next flick, Major Movie Star, in which she plays a Hollywood actress who joins the Army (this is not a new reality TV show).

While filming some of the action sequences, Jessica broke her nose after accidentally hitting herself in the face with a gun. “I was running with a gun over my head and fell over and broke my nose, it really hurt!” What makes this accident even more traumatic for the Blonde Ambition actress is that she feels that her nose is her best asset, and it is what sets her apart from the competition.

“There are a lot of girls with a similar body to mine, but my nose is special and unique to me,” Jess proclaims.

While discussing the social impact of her broken nose, Jessica also revealed that she dresses to please the opposite sex. She admitted to picking her clothes with the intention of trying to get a mouth dropping, tongue drooling stare from any man with a heartbeat.

“I dress for men, and also for myself. But if I am dressing for men, then I know it’s good for myself. Curves are better. Honestly, movie stars should be voluptuous and beautiful, and models should be voluptuous and beautiful.”

Jessica Alba’s wiggle


And you thought math homework was boring. After exhaustive research, mathematicians at Britain’s Cambridge University have calculated the ideal waist-hip proportions for the perfect sexy feminine walk. And the woman with the world’s best wiggle is … drum roll please … American actress Jessica Alba.

The “Fantastic Four” star beat out other actresses including Eva Longoria, Angelina Jolie, Kate Moss, and even Marilyn Monroe.

The research was serious stuff. According to Cambridge, a woman with a waist size exactly 70 percent of her hip measurement is a woman with the more angular swing and bounce to the hips that makes for the perfect sexy wiggle while walking.

So with a 25-inch waist and a 36-inch hip, Alba boasts the ultimate in girlish struts. Interesting. Now if only we knew how much government funding went into this project.

Is Simpson jealous over John's new flame?


Is Jessica Simpson turning green with envy over her former flame, John Mayer, being romantically linked to Cameron Diaz?

According to a source from Us Weekly, the 27-year-old Employee of the Month star is "really jealous" about the new rumoured couple.

"She had her mouth open a mile wide when she found out," the source told Us.

"She just freaked." Apparently the singer-turned-actress still carries a torch for Mayer.

"She thinks about him all the time," the source said. "She is so not over him."

Summit of the Starlets - Jessica Alba and Lee Hyo-lee


Korean cosmetics brand Isa Knox has unveiled the story to its much-anticipated commercial starring Lee Hyo-lee and Jessica Alba.

The ad for the company's Double Effect Advanced Serum emphasizes the two starlets' sex appeal and embraces their unique charms.
Beneath the headline, "A woman's face is lies", a tearful Lee breaks up with a man while a smiling Alba does the same. Then, in the latter part of the ad, the situation is reversed and the copy tells us, "Now Lee Hyo-lee smiles" and "Jessica Alba weeps". The ad intends to suggest that women make no bones about telling a lie to finish with men. The company says the copy "A woman's face is lies" denotes that a woman's skin is lies, too.



The two stars were the center of attention during the filming of the commercial in Vancouver, where observers commented on their gorgeous and quite similar figures. The two resemble each other in stature, shape, hair style and even healthy-looking copper skin tone.

Their beauty managers took great pains to adorn the stars, who were competing for national pride. Their stylists each transported about 50 outfits to Canada, filling their hotel rooms with clothes like a boutique.

The commercial is slated to air next month.

Jessica Alba & Cash Warren Are Back Together Again!


Jessica Alba has reportedly entered into reconciliation talks with ex-boyfriend Cash Warren.

The pair, who split last month, have been spotted together four times over the last week, including a beach walk last week and meals together over the weekend.

The couple were spotted dining at Taverna Tony in Malibu on Saturday evening and the restaurant’s owner Tony Koursaris told Us Weekly magazine: “I said to them, ‘I’m so happy to see you here!’ And they both said, ‘We’re happy to be here too!’”

A friend of the former couple added: “Cash has been miserable since they broke up. And I guess she’s missing him.”

Jessica Simpson: 'my nose isn't broken'


Jessica Simpson has hit out at claims she broke her nose on the set of new movie Major Movie Star, insisting the accident wasn't as bad as reported.

It was claimed the actress/singer was badly injured during a fall. She was even quoted saying, "I was running with a gun over my head and fell over and broke my nose, it really hurt."

But Simpson's representative Lauren Auslander, tells TheCelebrityTruth, "Yes she did get injured, but her nose is not broken."
