A jury has convicted a man of trying to burglarize Paris Hilton's home last year. District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison says jurors deliberated for less than an hour Friday before convicting Nathan Parada of first-degree residential burglary for trying to break into the hotel heiress' home last August. Hilton testified this week about she and her boyfriend being awoken after Parada banged on one of the house's windows with the butt of a knife. A defense attorney told jurors that Parada had left a halfway house days earlier and had not taken his antidepressant medication for several days. Parada faces up to three years in prison when sentenced.
Move over, 'King's Speech,' there's another royal movie on its way. Lifetime has announced that it will quickly cast, produce and air a movie based on the long royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, which will air around the time the pair ties the knot on April 29th. The film will follow the pair from the beginnings of their relationship at University of St. Andrews through the nine years that delivered them to this moment. Nico Evers Swindell will play William, while Ben Cross, best known for his role in 'Star Trek,' will take on Prince Charles. They have yet to cast Middleton. It's not the only creative decision regarding the wedding -- Rupert Murdoch may broadcast the nuptials in 3D on one of his Sky Broadcasting networks.
American television network Lifetime is in the preparation stages of creating a TV movie about the couple's courtship and romance.
A relatively unknown actor, Nico Evers-Swindell, is to play Prince William. His father, the Prince of Wales, will be played by British Star Trek actor Ben Cross, but the role of the soon-to-be princess Kate Middleton is yet to be cast.
The description of the film, issued by the creators, reads: "The film chronicles the history of William and Kate - from the moment the two students met at Scotland's prestigious University of St Andrews, through the ups and downs of their nine-year courtship complicated by social and Royal Family pressures, and intense global media attention surrounding their storybook nuptials."
It is thought the film, William And Kate, will be aired in the US a week before the real wedding on April 29.
Meanwhile, presenter Cat Deeley is set to bring a group of royal wedding fanatics from America to London for a new show.
CATHERINE Zeta-Jones is planning to make a movie about mental illness. The Welsh actress is being encouraged to raise awareness of bipolar disorder in a documentary.
“Catherine is very interested in the idea – both as a way of coming to terms with the condition and as a way of breaking down certain prejudices surrounding mental illness,” reveals a source close to the actress and husband Michael Douglas.
“Catherine has long had the intention of turning her hand to film making and this is something she feels passionate about.” Recent reports claimed Catherine has officially joined the all-star cast of Rock of Ages, the big-screen adaptation of the hit, hard-rock Broadway musical. “It’s a new character created just for the screen,” a source told Us Weekly magazine. “She’s playing the mayor’s wife…Basically she’s the villain of the film. She wants to get rock and roll out of Los Angeles!
“Catherine is a hard-working actress, beautiful and talented. You never hear a bad word about her. “And she won an Oscar for Chicago, a musical. This is perfect for her.”
When Jennifer Aniston appeared nude with just a men's tie to protect her modesty in 2008 she caused a sensation and became an instant pin-up.
The former Friends star showed off a new sexier, cheeky side in the provocative shoot which took place just weeks after love rival Angelina Jolie's hurtful comments about 'falling in love' with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith (while he was still married to Aniston). Perhaps with this in mind, The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright has recreated the now infamous pose, showing her now ex-boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent exactly what he's missing.
Lydia, 20, is excited to show off her new size eight figure after losing a stone and jumped at the chance to emulate Aniston, who has also been unlucky in love, in the Closer magazine shoot. 'I’m so excited!' Lydia tells the magazine. 'Jennifer Aniston is amazing and I’m dying to recreate her look.
'I want boobs like hers – you could cover up mine with a piece of dental floss, they’re so small! She adds: 'Jen should make a cameo in The Only Way Is Essex. She’d probably say: "Oh, God, that’s the girl who is always copying me!"'
Lydia admits being watched by millions of viewers twice a week made her hire a personal trainer.
'Seeing yourself on screen makes you think about your body,' she tells Closer. 'I now work out three times a week for an hour at a time and I’ve cut out the rubbish from my diet. 'I feel more confident about my body now but, like any girl, I have my hang-ups. I’ve always had problems getting a flat stomach. It seems Miss Bright prefers the natural look, shunning the plastic surgery favoured by her co-stars. 'I’d love bigger breasts – I’m a 32B – but I’d never get a boob job as I prefer looking natural,' she insists. 'And I don’t get why people have Botox in their 20s.' She adds: 'I love being a size 8, but I won’t lose any more weight. Girls look better with curves – just look at Kelly Brook and Beyoncé' Fans watched as Lydia finally ended her three-year relationship with 'Arg' after weeks of heartbreaking deliberation in a recent episode. But her ex is already missing her and admitted in an interview this week that he would propose to her if it meant winning her back.
Nobody likes doing overtime. But when Robert Pattinson was told that he had to re-shoot scenes for the final Twilight movie at the weekend, he probably yelped with joy. The 24-year-old was flown to the Caribbean, for starters, and once there, his 'toil' consisted of filming love scenes with his real life girlfriend Kristen Stewart, 21. It was all meticulously covert in a bid to prevent the hotly-anticipated scenes between their characters Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from being observed.
There was controversy last month when stills from their honeymoon scenes, and even a short video, found their way onto the internet. It's widely believed that most of the steamy action, the stills showed the couple in bed, has already found it's way onto the cutting room floor after failing to meet the criteria for the PG-13 film.
And so, despite the cast thinking they'd wrapped up the franchise for good in Toronto last week, Pattinson and Stewart were asked to do more sex scenes. And it's apt that the final scenes for Breaking Dawn were filmed right up to the break of dawn on the beach - 5am on Saturday morning to be exact - in St Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Armed police patrolled the beach, while a police launch bobbed about in the sea, trying to ensure that no-one would get a glimpse of filming.
Stewart showed off her stunning figure in a bright green bikini, that was unfastened at the halter - perhaps suggesting that a topless scene was on the agenda.
LONDON - UK wedding invitation list has sparked controversy after the king and pengeran from countries with records of human rights (human rights) that bad been invited, but two former British prime minister was not even invited.
Human rights groups criticized the Prince William and Kate Middleton by inviting foreign prince of Bahrain, Swaziland, and other countries whose governments have been suppressing pro-democracy activists in recent weeks. British media also questioned the former prime minister Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are not listed in the invitation list that was announced last Saturday that, while former Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher and John Major invited.
"The Labour Party MPs will not be alone in thinking about the strangeness of the two former occupants (Downing Street) Number 10 was not invited to perkawainan it," commented the Sunday Telegraph, on Monday (4/25/2011). Some royal officials said Blair, who ruled in 1997-2007, and Brown, who ruled 2007-2010, was not invited because it is not like Major and Thatcher, they are not a recipient of the Knights of the Garter, Britain's highest award. Palace of St. James, William's office, said the marriage was "not a state occasion, so there's no reason why they (Blair and Brown) must be invited", reports the Sunday Telegraph. Major, prime minister of England in 1990-1997 and acted as a protector of Princes William and Harry after the death of their mother Diana, will be present, but Thatcher, dubbed the "Iron Lady" who ruled in 1979-1990, refused to attend for health reasons. Guest invitations are also a bit controversial in marriage at Westminster Abbey this Friday include footballer David Beckham and fashion designer wife, Victoria; musician Elton John, and actor "Mr. Bean" Rowan Atkinson. However, great controversy arises when royal officials announced that Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain will also be present. Reports earlier said the Gulf state authorities would not be present in order to avoid embarrassment after a bloody crackdown against protesters in the country which left at least 24 people were killed. Campaign antimonarki Republic criticized the inclusion of the king, not only from Bahrain, but also Saudi Arabia, Oman, Brunei, Qatar, Swaziland, Lesotho, Bhutan and Kuwait in the list of invited guests. "The guest list that reads like 'what or whom' the tyrants and their cronies," said Graham Smith's Republican leaders. Pengampanye gay rights, Peter Tatchell, said the invitation to the "cruel ruler of the kingdom" of Bahrain, Swaziland, and Saudi Arabia is "a very large assessment errors."
Palace of St. James said they had asked for advice from the Foreign Office about the guests from abroad. "It comes from the Queen's invitation to follow a long-held tradition to invite other nations crown, we have received advice from the Foreign Ministry about their income (the guests) on the list," said a spokesman.
