Hugh Grant

Hollywood actor Hugh Grant is planning to launch a career as an author after years of harbouring his love for writing.

The “Notting Hill” star admits he has long planned to put pen to paper to fulfil his literary dreams, but he’s been holding off until he is more financially stable, reported ok.co.uk.

“I have always promised myself: ‘When you have made some nice films and earned some money, you are going to finally write your novel,’” he said.

Grant admits he started writing his first book several years ago, but he’s not found the time to complete the story because he’s always tempted away from his computer by new movie projects.

“I don’t know if it is laziness or some kind of fear of failure. (I think) shouldn’t I rather make a film, earn money and work with beautiful women?” he added.

Rihanna


Singer Rihanna is upset as she won’t be able to do her usual raunchy stage show in Abu Dhabi on New Year’s Eve because the organisers have told her to dress “conservatively”.

“Rihanna is tearing her hair out over what to do. She wanted to put on her most eccentric and provocative show here. A huge part of her show is her sexy stage gear. But the dress code in Abu Dhabi does not encourage excessively revealing outfits,” contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying.

Now Rihanna, 21, and her team are busy devising a new show complete with modest outfits which don’t show off too much of her body and won’t offend audiences in conservative Abu Dhabi.

Sigourney Weaver


Alien’ star Sigourney Weaver has been dragged into a 5 million dollar court battle between two high-powered Manhattan cosmetics executives.

Anthony Minuto filed the lawsuit against his former business partner, Vincent Longo, the renowned makeup artist, and owner of cosmetics company Vincent Longo Inc.

Weaver, 60, and Hermes CEO Robert Chavez, who both have minority stakes in the company, are also defendants.

In the suit, Minuto claims that Longo, who also previously served as a contributing beauty editor at Elle, unceremoniously dumped him from the company and refused to cash out his 25 percent stake.

He now wants nearly 5 million dollars in damages and 25 percent of the company.

“Out of the blue, Vincent wrote me a letter stating that my services were no longer needed and he would not honour any prior agreement or writings we had made establishing my ownership in the business,” the New York Post quoted Minuto as saying.

“It’s outrageous,” Minuto said.

“I built and built and built the company up, and got all the pieces into place, and he [Longo] threw me out.

“Now they’re making money. I tried for three months to get my money from him, to no avail,” he added.

A judge has frozen the company’s assets pending a hearing in February.
