Madonna has persuaded hot actress Abbie Cornish to be in her film, based on the Edward VIII Abdication crisis.

The movie, W.E., tells parallel tales about Wallis Simpson in the 1930s and a contemporary woman called Wally Winthrop, who has romantic problems of her own - in addition to the fact that she's obsessed with the Duchess of Windsor's life.

Abbie, who starred opposite Ben Whishaw in Jane Campion's film Bright Star, will play the part of Wally once negotiations have been finalised.Vera Farmiga will portray the Duchess (as revealed here first).

It seems Eva Longoria may have been taking tips on casual dressing from her close friend Victoria Beckham.

The Desperate Housewives star managed to make a simple pair of jeans look high fashion with the help of a few Posh tricks.

She teamed the denim with super high heels, carefully colour matched to her long pink wrap cardigan and vest top. With the addition of an Hermes handbag she was ready to go.Eva wore the outfit to the opening of the new Gap 1969 jeans shop in West Hollywood.

And perhaps unsurprisingly, her clothes came from the chain's upcoming collection.

The Sugababes are running late. One is booking a skydive, another has stopped for a bacon sandwich and the third is rowing with her boyfriend.

At least they're not arguing with one another. Pop's most volatile divas are known as much for their bickering and break-ups as for their hits.

When the girls arrive the atmosphere is tangibly different from when I've met them in the past. This must be down to the fact that there's no one left from the original catty line-up.

So, on the face of it, is one Sugababe interchangeable with another? And is this a band or a brand?

It may not have been her big night but Daisy Lowe was determined to grab the headlines at the Alice In Wonderland premiere.

The young model turned up in a black sheer bondage-style tunic complete with black, hold-up stockings under which her purple satin underwear could clearly be seen.
She did wear a black waistcoat over the creation but that did little to save her modesty.

Daisy, 21, arrived alone but clearly she felt confident enough to wear the racy outfit at the Leicester Square event on what was a wet and rainy night in London.

She spends millions on her stage shows, even putting herself in the red.

And it seems Lady Gaga has no plans on cutting back on her extravagant performances.

Last night on stage in Liverpool she unveiled yet another new outfit - a revealing sequinned purple leotard with matching glasses and her favoured fishnets.

The clash of dates prevented her from another extravagant outing at the NME awards where she won two more awards to add to her Brits.
