"Some people in various media groups who I have personally taken cocaine with are now talking about her and saying that shouldn't do take cocaine. I have done cocaine with these people, I've done cocaine with the people writing the stories, and I think that the way they have so much power over people's lives, it wouldn't have surprised me if she had tried to commit suicide the week that everything hit the papers. You've got certain people that want people dead and just want to actually devour people's lives. For me personally being a public figure is really scary because sometimes it wouldn't be your fault that people want to get the knives out and kill you, which is what I think they are doing with Kate Moss."

But they took and dragged her through such a horrific time for something you can call a mistake, you know. It's a... we're all human, we're all very flawed in our own ways, and to capitaliSe on that and sell it as a product is pretty vicious, because her kid is going to grow up to that someday."

(Reporter: Have you spoken to her?)

"No, no, I haven't spoken to her in a long time, She's still a great kid."

UK's top fashion editor talks about Kate Moss' future

22/09/2005

APTN

London. September 19, 2005

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Hilary Alexander, Fashion Editor, The Daily Telegraph:

"I know Kate may not specifically have chosen to be a role model but the fact is that when she chooses to be the face of H & M or Burberry, those are labels which are appealing to a really youngish group, under 35's and by the very taking of the money Kate is a role model for those labels and especially H &M which we all know is a really really young label and do we actually want everyone under 30 to think 'oh yeah, smoking coke, having a chaser of Johnny Walker whiskey or beer or vodka, 55 cigarettes...is this the life style that we really want to show people is cool? It's not cool."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Hilary Alexander, Fashion Editor, The Daily Telegraph:

"All her friends, all her associates, all her business people have been telling her for a long time, stop. She's beautiful, she's 31, she's earning a ton of money, for gods sake Kate wake up otherwise you are going to be Nancy Spungen."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Hilary Alexander, Fashion Editor, The Daily Telegraph:

"I think Kate is an unfortunate person who perhaps has one of those obsessive, depressive personalities which latches on to something as a kind of life jacket".

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Hilary Alexander, Fashion Editor, The Daily Telegraph:

"Maybe she's still obsessing over the loss of Johnny Depp and I think he was the great love of her life and is very sad the relationship ended and probably the fact that he's constantly pictured in the celebrity glossies and newspapers with Vanessa Paradis and the children. That must be a constant torture."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Hilary Alexander, Fashion Editor, The Daily Telegraph:

"I would actually suggest that this is the time that she should actually just slow down, stop working and just get clean. Wake up and actually just realise how nice life can be when you wake up in the morning and you don't have a hangover."

"Kate Moss sells magazines as I think you've pointed out to me twenty-three times she's been on the cover. She's not on our ninetieth birthday issue, because I don't think one person could've been on that, that's why I've chosen to do a gate fold with ninety covers of Vogue.''

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Alexandra Shulman, Editor of British Vogue:

"Different times that we've had her on the cover, I think that she's been on the cover for different reasons. I mean we had her on the cover when she just had a child, and then I think people were interested that she's a model and has become a mother and then we had her on the cover shortly after all of the cocaine scandal, when was it, a year or so ago? She represents different things, but essentially what she represents is something that my readers are interested in. The clothes look fantastic on her, she has a kind of sexy, mystique I think that is unrivalled really, and every cover we have her on is a good cover for us.''

WHEN IN ROME -WEAR DIAMONDS

Roman jewelers Bulgari celebrated summer solstice by transforming the Villa Borghese, the largest park in central Rome, into a fairy tale fantasy fit for a princess or two.

No expense was spared in creating the dreamy setting for Bulgari''s new jewelry collection called ''''Lucea''''. The light from 200,000 candles cast a romantic glow on the backdrop of transparent curtains, white carpets and orchids.

FRANCESCO TRAPANI, Bulgari CEO called the evening the ''''best party in Rome''''.

Under a starry sky, the super-chic party of VIP''s mingling in a

transparent tent which was lit only by candles was made comfortable with cushions and low sofas.

Everyone was talking jewels, and admiring the elegant exposition of them dangling from the necks and fingers and wrists of the world''s most beautiful women.

Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen represents the new collection and her image was projected throughout the night on maxi screens with suggestive images of gold and gems.

She was drapped in a ruby and diamond necklace valuing $400,000 and a matching bracelet worth $100,000. She wore a simple black

dress by American designer Ann Johnston.

Claudia Schiffer, in pink Yves St. Laurent, was decked out with an

astonsihing emrald necklace valued at just under $1 million.

The ''jewel in the crown'' of the Lucea collection is an awesome 84 carat choker composed of 24 ''''navette'''' diamonds, 23 round diamonds and 39.85 carats of smaller diamonds.

MADONNA THRILLS HOMECROWD

Madonna wowed the crowds at the second gig of her US tour in New York, the city where she first embarked on her musical career.

Fans of Madonna flocked to Madison Square Gardens to catch the sold-out show which recently sent Europe into a media frenzy.

Most of the songs in her "Drowned World Tour" show were taken from her most recent albums, "Ray of Light" and "Music." Some of her biggest hits, including "Vogue," "Express Yourself" and "Material Girl," were absent.

In addition, while the theatrics many have come to expect from a Madonna show were present, gone was the camp sexuality and party atmosphere of her earlier tours. The mood was considerably darker, with images of rape, references to murder and even sounds of gunfire permeating the show.

Once again, Madonna has shown herself to be adept at transformations: the 42-year-old''s latest persona seems fascinated with danger, conflict and violence.

During "Nobody''s Perfect," a remorseful song about personal failings, a geisha-garbed Madonna appeared vulnerable as an angry lover gazed at her angrily, holding a sword to her neck.

As another song was performed, a video image of a battered and bruised Madonna graced the screen before she emerged, pointed a gun, and fired. Soon afterward, a cartoon montage depicted women fighting, being abused, sexually objectified and eventually raped.

Even some of the show''s rare humorous moments were tinged with black comedy. At one point, Madonna spoke to the audience with a twang and jokingly debuted a country and western-style ditty about a father being killed and apparently being barbecued later.

"That''s just an example of something bad happening to somebody and turning it into a good thing," she said in a Dolly Partonesque-accent.

Yet just when it seemed as if the violence was becoming too over-the-top, Madonna would tone it down. For example, the song that inspired her violent video, "What It Feels Like For a Girl," got a gentle treatment: Madonna sang the song tenderly, and in Spanish.

The show was not without its fun moments, as the singer climbed on a mechanical bull during the climax to her recent hit, "Don''t Tell Me."

There were also colorful interludes that displayed Madonna''s in-your-face attitude: she began "Beautiful Stranger," off the Austin Powers'' soundtrack, with a clip of the comedic character before telling him in crude terms to bug off.

As usual, Madonna thrashed about the stage and moved suggestively during songs such as "Human Nature." But the tightly choreographed, high-maintenance presentations of her past shows were missing; instead, the dancing seemed more relaxed.

Musically speaking, this tour may be Madonna''s strongest. Her voice was in top form as she sang arrangements that varied from electronica to rock to dance to pop. She also played guitar for several songs, including the old favorite "La Isla Bonita."

When she returned for an encore, she picked her biggest recent hit, "Music," to end the night. The most nostalgic she got was to show a video collage during the song depicting images of her from the past. While paying due respect to her previous incarnations, Madonna seemed more interested in celebrating her present self - and if the the screams from the crowd were any indication, so were her fans.

STORYLINE:

A who''s who of the entertainment industry showed up in New York on Friday night honouring Michael Jackson and the 30th anniversary of his solo career.

The concert started nearly an hour late as Jackson, dressed in a white spangled jacket, was escorted to his seat with Elizabeth Taylor.

Sitting next to him was Macaulay Culkin, and Jackson''s parents, Katherine and Joseph.

The show got off to a rousing start with a dance-packed performance by Usher, Maya and Whitney Houston, doing "Wanna Be Startin'' Somethin"'' from Jackson''s 1980s megahit album "Thriller."

Moments later it took a bizarre turn when Marlon Brando appeared on stage sitting on a couch.

He rambled for a couple minutes about child abuse, starvation and disease.

People started to boo until Brando mentioned Jackson''s name and said that Jackson was donating money to build a children''s hospital in Florida.

The evening got back on track quickly with Billy Gilman''s performance of another Jackson hit, "Ben."

The first of two heavily hyped concerts in Madison Square Garden scheduled appearances or performances by ''N Sync, Gladys Knight, Eminem, Destiny''s Child, Yoko Ono, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Shaquille O''Neal, Chris Tucker and Samuel L. Jackson as well as Taylor and Brando.

The concerts on Friday and Monday night are part of Jackson''s attempt to reclaim his King of Pop title after a six-year absence between albums.

"Invincible" is due out at the end of October - last week, he released the first single, "You Rock My World."

On Thursday night Jackson stole the show at the MTV Video Music Awards by appearing briefly on stage with ''N Sync.

28. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephen Fry: (Reporter: "What do you think is so special about the story?") "It''s so hard to say, isn''t it? There''s so many things.

STORYLINE:

HARRY POTTER CASTS A SPELL AT STAR-STUDDED PREMIERE

A huge crowd of celebrities, including Jerry Hall, Sting, Sarah Ferguson, Cliff Richard, Cher, Cate Blanchett, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Ben Stiller, and Richard E Grant flocked to London''s Leicester Square to join the cast and crew of the highly anticipated ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone''. (N.B. In some territories, such as the USA the title is ''Harry Potter and the Sorceror''s Stone'')

The cast, including Robbie Coltrane, veteran actor Richard Harris, John Hurt, as well as the novel''s author J.K.Rowling attended the premiere and met some lucky fans among the thousands that welcomed the stars with high-pitched screams.

The event was one of the largest ever premieres to be seen in Central London. The Odeon Cinema was decorated with props from the film and at the end of the arrivals the sky was filled with fireworks.

The story is based on the hugely popular first book of the series by J.K. Rowling and is directed by Chris Columbus (''Home Alone'').

The plot centres around a little boy, Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, who discovers that although he has been begrudgingly raised as an orphan by his aunt and uncle, his real parents were wizards.

They were killed by the evil wizard, Voldemort, and Harry was brought up in the normal human world - the world of ''Muggles''.

When a mysterious letter is delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, Harry is wrenched from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence.

It is an acceptance letter to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and soon enough, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig and in the world of wizards where he is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him.

His best friends and cohorts, Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) accompany Harry on his adventures as he learns how to make his own magic.

The all star cast also includes Richard Harris (Headmaster Dumbledore), Alan Rickman (Professor Snape), Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall), John Cleese (Nearly Headless Nick), Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick), Zoe Wanamaker (Madame Hooch) and Julie Walters (Mrs Weasley).

''Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone'' gets released in North America, UK, and Taiwan on November 16th and the rest of the world after November 22nd.

And she said ''I don''t know what you want'', and I said ''This is what I want, picked up a video cassette of ''David Copperfield'', Dan Radcliffe, this is it. She said ''you will never get him, his parents don''t want him to do it ''. So she resigned and then David Heyman and Steve Kloves, the writer and producer, went to the theatre and saw Daniel and talked to his parents. And I guess David really convinced them to come in and talk about it and they were open to the idea. As along as they knew that we would protect Daniel and take care of him. And we promised we would."

He has got such an endearing face. It was a very hard part to cast, as I am sure people will remember, because it was in the press a lot. They just couldn''t find Harry. It was turning into some kind of children''s version of Scarlett O''Hara. "

6. Clip - ''Harry Potter and Philosopher''s Stone''

7. Sot - Dan Radcliffe - He hadn''t read all the books: "I had read the first two when I was eight or nine, something like that, eight or nineish. But I didn''t like reading any books full stop, at that time, because I found it very hard to sit down and read a book and really concentrate on it. And then I got the part and I read the first one, and I was only planning on reading that one. But then I felt ''I love this, I have to read the second'' and I loved that. I had to read the third and then the fourth, and then of course I got to the end of that one, the fifth, I couldn''t find one. But I am really looking forward to the fifth one."

9. Sot - Emma Watson : "The more I auditioned the more I wanted the part. I mean I wanted to get the part from the beginning, I took it seriously. However pathetic it may seem, you know a million to one, you know. A million girls wanted to play Hermione."

11. Sot - Rupert Grint - getting the part : "I really really wanted to be in this film, so I made this video tape. First I dressed up as my drama teacher, who was a girl, and that was scary. And then I made this rap song of how much I wanted to be in this film, and then I made this speech for Ron and sent it into the casting agency, and they said ''would you like an audition'' and that was the greatest moment in my life."

HARRY POTTER WEAVES SPELL OVER CRITICS

Film reviewers have given the movie version of ''HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER''S STONE'' the thumbs up, after its world premiere in London''s Leicester Square on Sunday. (NB In some territories the film title matches the alternative book title ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer''s Stone)

The film is expected to smash box office records when it goes on general release in the UK and North America next week, beating even ''Titanic''.

Critics are so impressed with the film that they say it is on a par with ''The Wizard of Oz'' and ''Toy Story''.

The plot centres around a little boy, Harry Potter, who discovers that although he has been begrudgingly raised as an orphan by his aunt and uncle, his real parents were wizards.

They were killed by the evil wizard, Voldemort, an attack which Harry is told he miraculously survived. Harry was brought up in the normal human world - the world of ''Muggles''.

When a mysterious letter is delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, Harry is wrenched from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence.

It is an acceptance letter to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and soon enough, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his new messenger owl Hedwig. He also discovers that he is a celebrity - famed as the only survivor of an attack by the most feared wizard in history.

His best friends and cohorts, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, accompany Harry on his adventures as he learns how to make his own magic.

The child actors now poised on the brink of international stardom are DANIEL RADCLIFFE (Harry), EMMA WATSON (his friend Hermione Granger) and RUPERT GRINT (his other friend, Ronald ''Ron'' Weasley).

Watson explains she was serious about landing a part in the film from the start, even though she knew competition was remarkably tough. Grint put his efforts into his audition tape, including showing himself dressed up as his female drama teacher, rapping a song about why he wanted the role, and creating a speech as Ron. He says when he was invited for an audition it was the ''greatest moment in my life''.

The search for the perfect Harry proved to be the toughest casting challenge. Director CHRIS COLUMBUS (''Mrs Doubtfire'', ''Home Alone'') searched long and hard, while the British press kept the hunt fresh in fans'' minds. Eventually he found an audition tape that seemed exactly right, but it still took some time to convince Daniel Radcliffe''s parents their child would be protected from the pitalls of playing the lead in such a huge project.

Radcliffe seems pleased with the decision - he says the first day''s shooting was ''amazing'' explaining he was so nervous he felt sick, but still enjoyed the experience.

Author JK ROWLING was also pleased, saying she ''loved Dan''s face''. Another reason for her relief was that he is British - a point on which she was firm from the start.

The rest of the cast also reflects some of the hottest British acting talent. Stars like Alan Rickman (Professor Snape), Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Zoe Wanamaker (Madam Hooch), John Cleese (Nearly Headless Nick), Richard Harris (Headmaster Dumbledore), John Hurt (Mr. Ollivander), Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall), Julie Walters (Mrs Weasley), Fiona Shaw (Aunt Dursley) and Richard Griffiths (Uncle Dursley) will no doubt help attract grown up audiences, who can marvel at the special effects along with their children.

Rowling''s clout may be unusual for an author, but her so is her well documented success. The Harry Potter books have enchanted readers of all ages, turning the series into a global phenomenon.

So far four books have been published, selling more than 100 million copies worldwide, and translated into 47 languages.

Radcliffe admits he hadn''t read all of the books when he was cast, saying he found it difficult to sit down and concentrate on any story for long. He insists he''s a convert now though, having eagerly read all four books and waiting anxiously for the fifth.

He won''t have too long to wait - another book a year will be released seeing Harry to the end of his Hogwarts career.

That means plenty of sequel fodder for filmmakers. The first movie cost around £100 Million (Sterling) to make, but producers are so confident they have a hit on their hands, work is already under way on ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets''.

''Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone'' is released on 16th November in the UK, USA, and Canada.

Because that is the first way that you communicate with your child and they communicate with you so it was a really fun project for me because it was - in the book I''m making monkey faces and things like that it wasn''t about looking glamorous or anything and it was just something fun for me to document that time in my life and my son''s life because he''s in it as well.

CINDY CRAWFORD: THE AUTHOR

It may turn out to be more Sarah Ferguson than J K Rowling, but super model Cindy Crawford has written a children''s book.

APTN went along to see her sign copies for fans in Los Angeles

''ABOUT FACE'' is a children''s book conceived by Crawford and put together with several collaborators.

The story focuses on parent/children dynamics and incorporates pictures of Crawford with her own son, Presley Walker Gerber.

While this isn''t her first foray into the world of books, Crawford is still best known for her modelling work.

She was discovered in the 1980s, beginning modelling assignments when she was 19. She has since appeared on more than 400 magazine covers around the globe.

She became the face of Revlon, marketing products for the make-up powerhouse, as well fronting her own line of beauty merchandise.

Crawford also found enormous success with her fitness video, bought by women around the world hoping to tighten tums and bums with the help of her aerobic instruction.

The supermodel also acts, and has appeared in several film and television programmes including a new movie release, ''The Simian Line'' with a cast including William Hurt, Bette Midler and Harry Connick Jnr.

Her time on the small screen includes a six year stint hosting MTVs ''House of Style.

BRITNEY A SLAVE FOR LIVE SHOWS

Pop diva Britney Spears has dazzled fans with her new ''adult'' image on the opening night of her North American tour in Columbus, Ohio. The singer unveiled risque stage outfits and racy tunes in front of a 20,000 strong crowd.

Britney kicked off the concert on Thursday night strapped to a revolving metal wheel dressed in futuristic black costume, accompanied by ghost-like dancers. During the 75 minute show Britney underwent an amazing nine costume changes.

There was no repeat of this years MTV Video Music Awards performance though, where she appeared with a snake around her neck, and a live tiger in a cage, sparking off protests from campaign group PETA. The singer insists this tour is animal free "I''m already doing enough crazy stuff. No animals," she said "I was going through the run-through doin'' all my stuff and I was like, `By the time I''m 30, there''s not going to be anything left for me to do."

Ohio fans had plenty to keep their mind occupied though. For an encore, Britney appeared through a trap door in the stage surrounded by a circular waterfall. She was clad in a see-through raincoat and cowboy hat for the show-stopping ''Baby One More Time''.

It is rumoured that Britney has been taking boyfriend Justin Timberlake to a Californian strip club to get some tips for the sexy dance routines for the tour. The pair have reportedly been spotted at Santa Monica''s Granville Club, watching the writhing lap dancers whilst the pop princess furiously scribbled notes.

The tour had been postponed from earlier in the month as the singer had suffered from the flu. It was then pushed back again, from its intended Hallowe''en start date in Washington, due to production delays. A spokesman for the singer denied that fear of further terrorist attacks was a factor in the delay.

The singer is donating $1.00 per ticket sold from each of the 31 concerts she will play on her tour this winter to the children of NYC Policeman & Firefighters lost in the World Trade Centre attack. Spears will also offer exclusive merchandise at each show and auction many front row tickets, in an effort to raise a target $2,000,000 for the youngest victims of the tragedy. The Britney Spears Foundation focuses on raising funds for children, and Spears has created a special secion of the charity dedicated to these young victims.

The tour coincides with Britney''s long awaited third album release this week. The thirteen track collection, ''Britney'' includes her current hit single ''I''m a Slave 4 U'' and ''What it''s Like To Be Me'', a track co-written by her boyfriend, NSYNC heartthrob Justin.

The singer says she wants the albums to let her fans see her "in a different light that they''ve never seen me in before...This music that I''m singing right now is such a reflection of me and who I am."

STORYLINE:

Michael Jackson has proved "Invincible" to negative reviews.

His first new album in almost six years debuted at the top of the charts, according to figures released on Wednesday.

The same day, the pop star made an unprecedented appearance at the Virgin Megastore in New York''s Times Square, wearing a shiny royal blue outfit, complete with his signature fingerless gloves in the same colour.

He waved to fans from a platform outside the store before going inside where he signed copies of his disc and chatted with devoted fans.

Jackson''s first album of original music in six years,"Invincible", sold 366-thousand and 272 units in the week ending November 4, the first week of its release.

This phenomenal volume of sales topped all other US albums, according to Soundscan, which tracks music retail figures.

The album succeeded despite some harsh criticism from music reviewers: the headline of Entertainment Weekly''s review was "King of Pap".

The 43 year old singer can still pull the crowds and stop traffic, but his position as King of Pop is far from invincible, with younger stars like Britney Spears coming up through the ranks.

His current reign at the top of the charts is likely to be brief - Spears'' third disc, "Britney", was released on Tuesday, and is expected to post first-week sales of around one (m) million.

THE KING OF POP REIGNS SUPREME

Michael Jackson has proved ''invincible'' to negative reviews.

''Invincible,'' his first new album in almost six years, has shot straight to the top of the charts, according to figures released on Wednesday.

The amazing comeback was highlighted when the pop star made an unprecedented appearance at the Virgin Megastore in New York''s Times Square yesterday (Wednesday), wearing a shiny royal blue outfit, complete with his signature fingerless gloves in the same colour.

Fans cried, shrieked, screamed and shoved the police in front of them to get closer to their idol, proving his massive popularity is as strong as ever.

He blew kisses, then stepped down from the platform, only to be heckled from fans to return. He obliged and threw more kisses and the crowd swelled closer to him. The fan activity was so much that the police barred any cameras from shooting fans or interviewing them at Times Square because of the dangerously large crowd.

Jackson''s first album of original music in six years, ''Invincible'', sold 366-thousand and 272 units in the week ending November 4, the first week of its release.

This phenomenal volume of sales topped all other US albums, according to Soundscan, which tracks music retail figures.

The album has triumphed despite some harsh criticism from music reviewers: the headline of Entertainment Weekly''s review was ''King of Pap''.

But the 43 year old singer showed he still is the King of Pop who can pull the crowds and bring traffic to a standstill.

Jackson also debuted at No. 1 in the U.K., Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey.

However, his current reign at the top of the US charts could be brief - Britney Spears'' third disc, ''Britney,'' was released on Tuesday, and is expected to post first-week sales of around one (m) million.

HEIDI KLUM WEARS $12.5 FANTASY MILLION BRA

The world''s top supermodels got down to their underwear yesterday for the seventh annual Victoria''s Secrets runway show.

The highlight of the show, which featured Giselle Bundchen, new mommy Ines Rivero, Tyra Banks, and Daniela Pestova, was Heidi Klum showing of the $12.5 million bra, with matching $750,000 panties.

Super rich lingerie fiends willing to spend £12.5 million on a bra get a 90 Carat diamond nestled between the jewelled cups, surrounded by pink sapphires set in platinum. The matching panties feature an angel wing of diamonds.

Marvelling at the revealing show where a host of celebrities including ''Home Alone'' star Macauley Culkin, rapper Jay Z, British comedy actor Alan Cummings, veteran society lady Ivana Trump and fashion designer Betsy Johnson.

British actor Rupert Everett hosted the show while tenor Andrea Bocelli sang his single ''Mascania'' and R''n''b singer Mary J. Blige performed ''Family Affair'' from her new album, ''No More Drama''.

The stars in attendance may not have been wearing the lingerie, but they were more than happy to tell APTN their thoughts on the subject.

With outlets in malls across the country and a hugely popular mail order catalogue, Victoria''s Secrets is one of America''s biggest lingerie retailers.

The company started its holiday tradition several years ago with creation of the first jewelled fantasy bra costing £1million or more. The annual bra is the key attraction in its ''Christmas Dreams and Fantasy'' catalogue, but, despite thousands of calls from around the world every year, the bras have never been sold.

Pop diva, Britney Spears, topped the charts again last week with her third album, ''Britney'', when it debuted at Number One in the US album charts selling more than 745,000 copies in its first week.

Despite these amazing figures, it still falls about a half million short of the first-week sales for last year''s ''Oops! ... I Did It Again.'' And it has since been knocked off the top spot by another new entry, Garth Brooks'' ''Scarecrow''.

And yet the young pop star claims the second strongest opening of the year, behind only fellow Jive act ''N Sync, whose ''Celebrity'' sold 1.88 million in July.

The star, who celebrates her 20th birthday on December 2nd, has already clocked up almost 20 million copies of her three albums, after only three years in the limelight and she has broken records in the US by becoming the first female artist to have her first three albums debut at No 1 on the chart.

Current hit, ''Slave 4 You'' is the first single released from the new album ''Britney''. It was penned and produced by the Neptunes, who have also worked with Spears'' Jive Records label mates ''N SYNC and the Backstreet Boys.

Another track on the album, ''What it''s Like To Be Me'', was co-written by her boyfriend, ''N SYNC heartthrob Justin Timberlake, who wrote and produced the song with Wade Robson. Britney was reportedly very nervous recording with her beau:

"Because we definitely have an intimate relationship and a personal relationship but we never really have a relationship where we work in a close knit type of thing, so it was kind of bizarre first recording vocals with him but once I got started it was fine."

Britney seems to be coping well a with life as one half of a celebrity couple and she describes her choice of partner saying:

"You just follow your heart, you know if I fell in love with a guy that worked at McDonalds tomorrow then I would have to go with that but I think it''s easier dating someone in the business because they understand what you are going through."

Aside from the album, Britney is currently performing live dates on a North American Tour and on Sunday, performed in her first live concert special, Britney Spears Live From Las Vegas, to a packed arena. The show featured hits from all three of her albums to date, ''Baby One More Time'', ''Oops! I Did It Again, and ''Britney'', and is to be aired on US station HBO as part of the Thanksgiving schedule this evening. A VHS and DVD of the Las Vegas concert special will be released on January 22.

The busy pop star has also been turning her hand to acting and Hollywood for the filming of her big screen debut. The film, titled ''Crossroads'', stars Spears as a model student who reunites with two former friends on a cross-country road trip. Along the way, they meet a would-be musician who persuades them to go to Los Angeles to compete in a musical contest. Tamra Davis (''Billy Madison'', ''Half Baked'') is directing the movie, which has a $10 million budget, relatively low by industry standards. The film is due for release in the US in February.

It is also rumoured that Britney will star as herself in the new Austin Powers 3 movie, ''Austin Powers: Goldmember''. Britney would co-star with Mike Myers who plays goofy British secret agent Austin, while Beyonce Knowles from Destiny''s Child is set to play Austin''s girlfriend, Foxy Cleopatra.

Details of Britney''s role are still being finalised but it''s thought she''ll make a cameo appearance.

So what''s next for the star? "I don''t know where I''ll be 10 years from now honestly, I live in the moment. I don''t have dreams of what I want my life to be like 15 years from now, of course I do want to get married and have kids and stuff like that but my heart will always be with music."

BACKSTREET REVELATIONS

On their recent trip to Tokyo, APTN caught up with US super group, The Backstreet Boys, and got to grips with recent events in the lives of one of the world''s best known boybands.

The boys were in Japan after a three year absence from the country, to perform three live dates and to promote their new album ''The Hits: Chapter One''.

The new collection is their first-ever greatest-hits package. The 13-song collection includes the group''s new single ''Drowning'' which is the only new material on the album and then a collection of hits from the group''s 1996 album ''Backstreet Boys'', 1999''s ''Millennium'', and last year''s ''Black & Blue''.

They include Backstreet Boys classics, including ''Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)'', ''Everybody (Backstreet''s Back),'' ''I Want It That Way,'' ''As Long As You Love Me,'' ''Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely,'' ''Larger Than Life'' and the recent hits ''The Call'' and ''The One.''

Band member Kevin explains the significance of the ''Chapter One'' title saying:

"We wanted people to know that we do intend on making more music together and that this greatest hits is not the end of our career together. We wanted to leave in peoples minds that it was the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter."

Oldest Backstreet at 29, Kevin Richardson, also told of his dislike of the word ''boyband'' and it''s connotations:

"I take it as an insult because I asked a reporter one time, ''what''s your definition of a boy band?'' and he said ''just a bunch of pretty boys that are put together and somebody else sings for them and they take advantage of the young teen fans''. To me that is an insult, I don''t want to be cast in that category, we are a vocal group, we write, we sing, some of us play instruments and we have been doing this for 9 years now, so I don''t like being put in that category.''

The band also talked about their relationship with new boyband N Sync, who have exploded onto the US scene and become direct competition for a previously unrivaled Backstreet Boys. Kevin explains that they don''t let N Sync''s success get in the way of their own:

''It''s hard to avoid seeing some of the stuff that they do and we pay attention to what they do but we try to focus on our group and us.''

This year has seen many ups and downs for the band, particularly for band member AJ McLean, who spent a spell in rehab this summer, where he was treated for alcoholism, depression and anxiety. His temporary departure from the band came during the Backstreet Boys ''Black and Blue'' world tour, which was suspended until AJ was well enough to return. Fellow Backstreet Boy, Howie Dorough told APTN about this difficult time and AJ''s cry for help:

''For A.J., he was probably the most curious out of all of us to enjoying the, quote, unquote, star life which is very easy to fall in to without having a good back bone and people keeping you in check. He experimented and really started enjoying the night life, he had a lot of issues with his family, his grandmother had passed away and I think that took him over the edge to where he was finding his comfort, his companion, going out having drink here and there. It got to a point where he felt that he was out of control. He came to us and said that he needed help.''

Kevin has also been in the spotlight recently after comments he made about September 11th to MuchMusic Canada. He told MuchMusic that the US was ''a bit of an arrogant nation'' and described the tragedy as ''a bit of a humbling experience'', saying that it raised the question ''what has our government done to provoke this action, that we don''t know about?''

Backstreet Boys carpenter and crew member Danny Lee was among those who died on the hijacked American Airlines Flight 11, which was en route to Los Angeles when it crashed into the World Trade Centre.

Kevin says of his comments: "If you have an opinion, if you are in the public eye and people ask your opinion and you voice it, obviously not everyone is going to agree with you, what I said with my remarks a lot of people agreed with me and a lot of people didn''t agree with me and I kind of came out and corrected my statement, not really correct my statement or apologising but it was the timing of my statement that was taken as insensitive to some people. I meant what I said, that''s the way that I feel."

Ultimately it has been an eventful year for the lads, their ninth year as boyband phenomenon The Backstreet Boys, but the band feel that the hard times have made the group stronger and closer together. So it seems the boys are here to stay for the forseeable future and are unlikely to let past troubles stand in the way of even more success and hit records for their legions of fans.

I saw Heavenly Creatures, it's one of my favourite films and I have been a fan of his for a long time. And 'Heavenly Creatures,' the way that he deals with fantasy elements is really quite unique and credible, so it really lends itself, his connection with fantasy in a realistic kind of way really lends itself to this kind of project.

10. Sean Astin ('Samwise 'Sam' Gamgee'): "Standing in prosthetic shoes that were sticky and wet and gluey, that's not really a character challenge, it was sort of a life challenge. I had to put on a lot of weight, that was hard. Living in a bigger frame was hard, but trying to have humour and knowing eventually the Hobbits are going to become heroic in sense but not wanting to eliminate that possibility because you've been goofy. It's a hard thing, the Hobbits are beautiful species but they are also tiny compared to the humans that are walking around, finding that balance I think."

BAND OF BROTHERS WITH BIG FEET

In a few days Elijah Wood, 20, has gone from a bright young thing to shining star of cinema.

Wood ('Huckelberry Finn,' 'The Faculty,' 'Deep Impact') has been given the impressive task of leading the epic $260m trilogy 'Lord of the Rings' playing the hobbit hero 'Frodo,' chosen by fate to do battle with legions of fierce 'orcs', giant trolls and corrupt wizards in his quest against evil that is threatening his world's many different peoples.

'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,' premiered in london earlier this week, the first instalment in the trilogy of books written by JR Tolkien which have been adapted for the big screen.

Critics have given Elijah Woods and the new film glowing reports, predicting it will 'run rings' around the hugely successful Harry Potter movie.

But Woods admitted to APTN that the expectation of armies of Tolkien fans was a heavy responsiblity which at times worried him.

"Initially one of the main pressure points was the idea that Frodo was steeped in literature and there was a massive fan base that knew the character and had their own ideas as to what the character should be and I had never really felt that kind of thing before. So that was the initial pressure trying to live up to other peoples imaginations," he said.

Filmmakers took the bold step of shooting all three movies at the same time over 15 months in New Zealand, to save the trouble and cost of rebuilding the lavish sets.

Pre-production stretches back even further, with director Peter Jackson and his team scouting and filming locations, working out how to bring Middle Earth to life. The whole process, including three years work on the screenplays, took six years.

The movie is a visual piece with impressive costumes, enormous sets and state-of-the-art digital effects which have created huge armies from nothing.

But it was the helmship of Jackson that Wood's feels guaranteed the huge project's success.

"The way that he deals with fantasy elements is really quite unique and credible, so it really lends itself, his connection with fantasy in a realistic kind of way really lends itself to this kind of project. Plus he is so passionate about the books and he has read the books many times. So this is a real labour of love for him," said Woods.

In the film, three young hobbits (midgets with Spock-like ears and big, hairy feet) are the constant companion of Frodo on his odyssey through Tolkien's fantastical realm.

Actors Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan & Billy Boyd, with a handful of minor screen credits between them, played Samwise 'Sam' Gamgee, Meriadoc 'Merry' Brandybuck and Peregrin 'Pippin' Took.

Off-screen, as well as on, the young quartet became welded together by friendship during the marathon filming schedule, says 33-year-old Bill Boyd.

"We had already spent about 6 weeks learning how to sword fence and canoe and do all these things and learning about what we thought Hobbits were and who our characters were and working on the scripts. When it came to the first day of filming it it felt like a special day because we were already friends. So when we came on to the set it was like we were ready for this, so it felt special," he said.

Cast, critics and fans agree that the movie is something extraordinary and it is predicted that it will become a cinematic landmark in years to come.

The film hits cinemas in Britain, America and several other territories on December 19th, 2001.

The sequels, 'The Two Towers' and 'The Return of the King' are due out in 2002 and 2003 respectively.

STORYLINE:

Two time Oscar-nominated actress Winona Ryder faces charges of grand theft and illegal possesion of drugs after being arrested for allegedly shoplifting in an expensive Beverly Hills department store.

The 30-year-old actress was arrested in the U-S at the Sax Fifth Avenue Store in Beverly Hills on Wednesday (12DEC01) evening after security guards claimed to have spotted her trying to steal hair accessories and clothing valued at 4,760 US dollars (£3,305).

"Security personnel advised they had arrested actress Winona Ryder for shoplifting numerous items of clothing," said Lieutenant Gary Gilmond, of Beverly Hills Police Department.

"Ms Ryder was transported to the Beverly Hills Police Department and booked on charges of grand theft and possessing pharmaceutical drugs without a prescription."

Security officers saw a surveillance video in which Ryder was allegedly removing tags from the items, he added.

She was booked for grand theft because of the amount of money allegedly involved. Ryder was also charged with illegial possesion of drugs for not being able to produce a presciption to correspond with the controlled substances she was carrying.

She was bailed the same night for 20-thousand (US) dollars.

Ryder's attourney Mark Geragos was dismissive of the charges : "I don't believe that the left hand knew what the right hand was doing inside of the store. She had purchased items at a number of locations inside the store and put stuff on hold."

And Geragos is confident his client will be cleared: "Once they do an internal investigation they're going to find out that that's what happened and once they do that I'm convinced the charges will be rejected. Obviously nobody wants to be on the nightly news with all of these rampant rumors that she's got pain medication, she's got this, she's got that. The fact of the matter is that she lawfully had a prescription for pain medication. The fact of the matter is she was not under the influence. The fact of the matter is that she purchased the items. There is no theft. There is no item that she possessed illegally. Based upon that and based upon the fact that the police have already told you that five separate police officers said she did not appear to be under the influence and she was completely co-operative. I expect all of these charges will be rejected."

Ryder's film career stretches back to the mid 80s, when she became associated with dark roles, after playing parts in 'Beetlejuice' and 'Heathers'.

She went on to star in further successful films, including 'The Age of Innocence', 'Edward Scissorhands', 'Mermaids', 'Dracula', 'Little Women' and 'Reality Bites'.

Her recent films include 'Girl, Interrupted', 'Autumn in New York' and last years 'Lost Souls', her most recent starring role. She also executive produced 'Girl Interrupted' and 'Killing Mrs Duke'.

She was nominated for Oscars for her roles in 'Age of Innocence' and 'Little Women'.

She also starred in 'Alien Ressurection' and is rumoured to have voiced an interest in taking part in a further Alien sequel.

Ryder, who has dated actors Matt Damon and Johnny Depp, has blamed a gruelling film schedule for causing occasional mental breakdowns.

She has been hospitalized several times for exhaustion and has told reporters she has sometimes tried to drown her anxiety attacks and depression in alcohol.

The actress' problems have occasionally hurt her career. She lost a pivotal role in 1990's 'The Godfather: Part III' days before filming began because of anxiety and exhaustion.

Questions about her health were raised again earlier this year, when the star pulled out of a film project shooting in the UK. She blamed a mystery bug for her departure from the project, 'Lily And The Secret Planting', and the hospital treatment she subsequently sought.

Back home in the US over the subsequent months she was seen looking frail.

HACKMAN HEADS ROYAL FAMILY IN NEW COMEDY FROM 'RUSHMORE' DIRECTOR

Director Wes Anderson's third film tells the epic tale of a comically dysfuntional New York family down on their luck and struggling to cope, played by a steller cast including Gene Hackman, Ben Stiller and Gwyneth Paltrow, .

Co-written with 'Behind Enemy Lines' actor Owen Wilson, 'The Royal Tenenbaums' has already been hailed as "an impressive artistic progression" for the director of the acclaimed comedies 'Bottle Rocket' and 'Rushmore'.

Gene Hackman and Anjelica Houston play Royal and Etheline Tenenbaum, whose separation has damaged their children and their family's fortunes. The kids, Chas (Ben Stiller), Richie (Luke Wilson) and the adopted Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow), are early achievers turned feckless, neurotic geniuses.

Chas made a fortune in finance and real estate, Richie was a champion tennis player while Margot is an award winning playwright - but the splitting of their turned their energy toward well developed neuroses.

Chas always wears a red track suit so he can easily flee the imminent fire or other disaster he's obsessed will happen to him.

Richie, who gave up on his promising tennis career, now sails the world on an ocean liner, pining for the love of his life - his adopted sister Margot.

Margot, a chronic adulterer, is divorced from her husband, a neurologist played by Bill Murray (who also starred in Anderson's 'Rushmore'), and spends most of her time smoking in the bath, having taken up with friend of the family Eli, played by Owen Wilson.

Gene Hackman has already garnered praise for his role as Royal, a man who, finding himself broke and homeless, lies that he's got cancer to get back into the family home.

The plot mainly concerns Royals attempts to "set things right" and come to terms with his family after an absence of 17 years.

For 'Rushmore' fans the film offers a further insight into the strange imagination of Wes Anderson. Shot in New York City, he avoids recognisable locations and changes the minutia of reality - all the TVs and stereos are vintage, there are only Green Line buses and the taxis are Gypsy cabs.

'The Royal Tenenbaums' has earned near universal praise from the critics thus far for its witty script, the breadth of its story, the quality of acting from Hackman particularly and the brilliance of Anderson's directing.

Some critics worry that this highly stylized feature might alienate an audience new to Anderson's work, while others point out that it is a "challenging" movie - but Anderson has little to worry about, one critic concludes that it just has to be seen twice: "first to be dazzled, then to be moved".

EPIC GETS RINGING PRAISE

The magical world of 'The Lord of the Rings' flew into La-La land aboard a red carpet, last night (December 16).

The epic movie arrived in Hollywood - a place where fantasy and reality are so often indistinguishable - for its latest premiere at

Hollywood' Grauman's Egyptian theatre.

The cast of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' are enjoying their globe-trotting, given fresh uplift by the feting the film is receiving from the newspaper gnomes - the critics.

New Line Cinema are banking on the world-wide fan base for the books, written in the 1950s by J.R.R Tolkien. They've conjured up 250 (m) million U-S dollars to have all three of the Lord of the Rings books committed to celluloid simultaneously.

Indeed, the runes look good for the producers finding a massive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The film has already opened to critical acclaim in London and New York, and now it's time for Tinseltown to cast its ballots, just in time for the Oscars.

But firstly the film is to do battle with Hollywood's prince and princess, Tom Curise and Penelope Cruz, whose thriller 'Vanilla Sky' had a stratospheric opening on the weekend, taking $25m and soaring to the top US box office slot.

SOT Mark Frith, Editor, Heat Magazine (on Madonna) - "Madonna, as well as having huge amounts of natural talent also is very canny and also knows who to work with, who's cool and who is not and also who is good and who is not. I think the success story of the last few years as well as the fantastic stage performances, she did another one this year with the Drowned World tour, she's chosen people to work with. So it was William Orbit, Mirawaz, this is great, state of the art modern music."3. Video clip 'What it feels like for a Girl'

4. B-roll Guy giving Madonna a birthday cake on stage

5. Video clip Britney 'Slave 4 U'

6. SOT Rosalie Snaith, Deputy Editor, Top of the Pops Magazine - "Everybody loves Britney and I haven't heard any complaints from teenage lads about her sexy image. I think that obviously getting older and so she would constrained and held back if she wasn't allowed to be more risky and sexy. I think to a certain point that's totally exceptable but I think everybody loved her for her pure pop appeal, so perhaps if she went too old too quick that can sometimes be problematic."

7. B-roll Britney on the beach in Sydney

8. SOT Britney (on album): "That is what I was going through. The album is just a reflection of what I am going through right now in my life and what I have been experiencing, and it is very therapeutic to go into the studio and just get that out like that. I am just in a transitional stage in my life where I am just figuring out what I want and who I am and so that is what the album is about."

9. B-roll Spice Girls

10. SOT Mark Frith (on Spices) - "I dearly hope that the Spice Girls see their solo careers as much as a hobby as much as something that is going to be as big as the Spice Girls, it's not going to happen. The girls individually are not going to be as big as them together. There was something about them together that made them work and capture the moment."

11. B-roll Posh at signing

12. SOT Victoria Beckham (on solo career) - "I think that a lot of people think of me as a stuck up miserable cow probably. I think because people read about you in the papers and they paint a picture of you and it's not until they actually meet me or see me or see interviews with me that they actually see the real Victoria Beckham and so I am looking forward to people hearing the album and hearing that I can sing and I can write good songs because I know that people do have preconceptions and so I am excited about that really."

15. Video clip - Emma Bunton 'What Took You So Long'

15. SOT Mark Frith (on Spices) - "The thing that I like about them all is that they are born performers and as soon as they walk out of the house they put on a show, they always dress really, it's very important for them to be see as a pop star and they enjoy the life and that is really good because so many people don't want to be pop stars and pretend that they are too cool to be pop stars and I think there has been some great singles from them this year."

16. Video clip Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman 'Somethin' Stupid'

17. SOT Rosalie Snaith (on actress turned singers) - "Perhaps it's a trend but I also think it is quite nice really because a lot of pop stars have a go at acting, it's all performing arts isn't it and if you are quite talented then you want to act sing dance and you want to show off that fact and I don't think anybody could knock Nicole and so does Kate Winslets. It could be a career move as well, you never know."

18. Video clip Kate Winslet "What If"

19. SOT Kate Winslet - "I initially said no way because I didn't want to do that whole actress becoming a singer thing. I do love singing but it is never something that I thought I would like to do. then I thought about it again and thought well why not try and do something good with this and I went to the company and record people and said o.k. lets release it as a single but we do not make a penny, it's all going to charity."

19.Video clip - Hearsay, 'Pure and Simple'

20. SOT Mark Frith (about Hear'say) - "The other thing that we have looked at is the Hear 'Say phenomenon which has been an incredible thing. It's slightly dyeing down now I would say but I think what they have found over the last year that if you can put enough albums and singles out from a band when they are hot, make hay while the sun shines because it might not shine forever. The first Hearsay album went in at number 1, the second went in at 24, that tells you what you need to know, 9 months made a lot of difference in their life."

21. B-roll Hearsay at 'The Records of the Year'

22. SOT Noel Sullivan (Hear'say) - "There is still loads left for Hearsay, we would like to do some international work and we would like to, as we always have done, continue in the UK. We have amazing support from our fans here , we have had an incredible year and it's all thanks to them."

23. SOT Mark Frith - "When you are looking at influential albums you are usually looking at dance albums and there is not really been any this year that have been influential. The biggest trend for me that has come along has been the kind of new American rock sound. People drop their names at the moment, like The Strokes and The White Stripes, rather than selling records in huge quantities."

MUSIC OF THE YEAR

The ultimate queen of pop, Madonna has had another amazing year this year with her sellout Drowned World Tour and the release of a second greatest hits album.

Not for the first time in her career,she also caused controversy with the video to her single release, 'What it Feels Like For a Girl'. The video was directed by her acclaimed filmmaker husband, Guy Richie and was slated for its violent content and banned by many television broadcasters.

Forty three this year, Madonna has had over 10 multi-platinum selling albums, and has topped the charts around the world with around 40 hit singles, making her the biggest selling female recording artist of the 20th century. Editor of the UK's Heat magazine Mark Frith (recently voted UK Magazine Editor of the Year) explains her appeal:

"Madonna, as well as having huge amounts of natural talent also is very canny and also knows who to work with, who's cool and who is not and also who is good and who is not. I think the success story of the last few years as well as the fantastic stage performances, she did another one this year with the Drowned World tour, she's chosen people to work with. So it was William Orbit, Mirawaz, this is great, state of the art modern music."

As someone who cites Madonna as her inspiration, Britney Spears has also had another good year, despite criticism for her last single 'Slave 4 U' which many regarded as too far removed from the classic pop tunes for which she has been much loved in the past. Her image has also changed in 2001 from American girl next door to sexy vamp, and Britney explains that this year has been a transitional one for her:

" I am just in a transitional stage in my life where I am just figuring out what I want and who I am and so that is what the album is about."

2001 has seen the release of her chart topping third album 'Britney' , a series of live dates across the States, an acting debut in her first feature film, due for release early next year and a continued public relationship with N Sync star Justin Timberlake.

With combined album sales standing at the twenty million mark, her popularity hasn't dwindled in 2001 and there will be a lot more from the 20 year old in 2002.

Across the water in the UK, it's been a slightly muted success story for the Spice Girls. With no joint releases this year, the girls have all been working on solo projects with varying degrees of acomplishment. Geri, Emma and Victoria all had albums out this year. Geri had her fourth number one in the summer with her cover of 'It's Raining Men' (from the soundtrack to 'Bridget Jones' Diary'), Emma had a chart topper with 'What Took You So Long?', whereas Victoria failed to reach the top spot with 'Not Such an Innocent Girl' burning out at number six.

Meanwhile the two Mels have had a quiet year musically, with Mel C working on new material due for release early next year and Mel B concentrating on her career as a television presenter.

The later part of 2001 has seen a growing trend for actors and actresses to turn their hand to singing. Following on from Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor's roles in 'Moulin Rouge', Nicole recorded a Sinatra duet with British hearthrob Robbie Williams. Their cover of 'Something Stupid' is favourite for the Christmas number one spot across Europe.

Kate Winslet has also turned to music with her charity single 'What If', The ballad, recorded for the animated film 'A Christmas Carol: The Movie' for which Kate Winslet is the voice of 'Belle', is also a contender for the Christmas Number One.

Another phenomenon not to be overlooked has been the success of Hear'say. Spawn from the television series 'Popstars', whose format has proved an international success, the band where whittled down from thousands of wannabes to a group of five hopefuls.

Other bands to come out of the format include Bardot in Australia and No Angels in Germany and even spin off bands such as Liberty, formed from failed UK entrants to the TV series.

Hear'say leaped into the record books with 'Pure and Simple', the fastest-selling debut single in UK history, and have since had a sellout tour and album. Although the media are keen to suggest that the lifespan of Hear'say is now over the band themselves have different ideas:

"There is still loads left for Hearsay, we would like to do some international work and we would like to, as we always have done, continue in the UK. We have amazing support from our fans here , we have had an incredible year and it's all thanks to them," believes Noel.

Because as well as the split and the divorce and who gets what, the stories then after that were obviously their new partners.

ALL CHANGE UNDER THE MISTLETOE

It's been a year of partner shuffling for some of the world's biggest stars - seemingly settled showbiz relationships have ended, while others have sprung up and blossomed despite the pressure of the ever watchful press.

The biggest headline catcher was TOM CRUISE and NICOLE KIDMAN's surprise split at the beginning of the year - Cruise filed for divorce from the actress in February, after 10 years of marriage.

A quickie divorce followed, citing irreconcilable differences, as the stars publicly blamed their faltering marriage on "divergent careers which constantly kept them apart."

The two stars settled for an undisclosed sum, and shared custody of their two children.

The rumour mill had plenty to keep it turning when Cruise began seeing his Vanilla Sky co-star PENELOPE CRUZ. The pair met making the film, but insist they did not become romantically involved until after the movie was finished - and Cruise's marriage was over.

Cruise and Cruz made their first public appearance as a couple five months ago, at the LA premiere of another Cruz film, 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' . They recently appeared at a string of promotional premieres for 'Vanilla Sky', including a launch in Kidman's home town of Sydney, Australia. Fans there gave them a warm welcome despite warnings that sympathy for Nicole might cool their reception.

While their relationship goes from strength to strength, Nicole seems to be winning the post-split publicity battle. Her performances in Baz Lurhmann's musical 'Moulin Rouge' and Alejandro Amenabar's spooky thriller 'The Others' have received rave reviews and Golden Globe nominations, while critics tip an Academy Award is a likely follow-up.

Her duet with Robbie Williams 'Somethin' Stupid' won the coveted Christmas number one spot in the UK charts, and sparked rumours of a 'did they-didn't they' romance between the pair in the British press.

Another high profile February breakup was JENNIFER LOPEZ and rapper impresario SEAN 'P.DIDDY' COMBS. The split came after a two year romance in the spotlight and after both artists were involved in a court case concerning an incident about an illegal firearm.

In March (2001), J-Lo appeared at the Academy Awards on the arm of dancer CRIS JUDD, who she had met taping the video for her single 'Love Don't Cost a Thing'. It was a whirlwind romance - the pair were married by the end of September.

Meanwhile, September saw a marriage breakup for British film star KATE WINSLET, after three years with her film director husband Jim Threapleton, which seemed one of the most solid relationships in showbiz.

Winslet's spokesman Robert Garlock announced "No other parties are involved in this amicable and respectful separation. Their daughter Mia will remain first priority for both of them."

The couple had met on the set of 'Hideous Kinky' and married on November 22, 1998. Mia was born in October last year.

The '"Titanic' actress never seemed to tire of describing their wedded bliss and how the birth of their daughter Mia had made them stronger than ever.

Meeting him also helped ease the pain of the death from cancer in December 1997 of her ex-boyfriend, scriptwriter Stephen Tedre.

The difference in status between the two rarely seemed to be an issue, and Winslet claimed they hardly talked about money.

But Threapleton has since cited Kate's devotion to her work as the main cause of the break up.

Winslet has found comfort in a new relationship though, with 'American Beauty' director SAM MENDES.

The pair admitted they were involved in November (01), stressing they met after the marriage was over, tarting out as friends.

Kate is reported to have told friends that she's 'madly in love' with the British director who has in the past described himself as pathologically afraid of commitment, and has been linked to a string of Hollywood stars including Cameron Diaz, Jane Horrocks, Ally McBeal's Calista Flockhart, and, most recently, Rachel Weisz, from whom he split in March.

Former Baywatch star PAMELA ANDERSON has found new romance with rock star KID ROCK, a one time friend of her ex-husband TOMMY LEE. The actress was married to Lee for three years until 1998, and is now in the middle of a messy custody battle over their two children.

British actress LIZ HURLEY who first hit the headlines when she appeared at the premiere of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' in an eye-popping Versace dress, will soon be seen in maternity wear - she is expecting her first baby next April.

The former model says she has suffered little morning sickness and no cravings, and is looking forward to being a mother.

She claims the father is American millionaire Stephen Bing, who had an on-off relationship with the actress this year. But Hurley is to bring the child up as a single mother.

But it seems the 'Bedazzled' star can expect moral support from her ex-boyfriend of 13 years, 'Bridget Jones's Diary' star HUGH GRANT, who has been seen visiting her at her home.

GERI 'RAINS' IN THE UK

After a media blitz which will go down in the annals of showbiz PR, pop queen Geri Halliwell is poised to pick up the prize she has worked so hard for : A UK number one hit.

All the clever money is predicting that the former Spicer will top the UK chart this weekend with her re-hash of the 80s Weather Girls' classic, "It's Raining Men", first released as a track from the hit movie "Bridget Jones's Diary."

According to the midweek charts. Halliwell's version has shifted enough copies to be clearly ahead of the competition, holding-off S Club 7's current single 'Don't Stop Movin' and Jennifer Lopez's new single, 'Play'.

Geri, whose ambition is insatiable, has committed mind, body and (sold her) soul to this latest campaign to keep her in the top flight of British celebrities and shift her new record by the truck load.

The most conventional sales device has been the video for the single which Geri herself has described as a "tongue-in-cheek tribute to Fame and Flashdance," in which her 'new body' is given ample opportunity to provocatively writhe and wriggle to the music clad in not much more than leg warmers.

The video is just one weapon in her sophisticated publicity campaign.

It kicked-off several weeks ago when she suddenly re-emerged into the limelight with a new, sexy slim line body - replacing her buxom model, circa 1997 - immediately seducing the lecherous tabloids.

Appearing at any and every event where the paparazzi might gather and showing as much of flesh as decently possible, she correctly calculated that the pictures would be front page news.

Maintaining the momentum, a rumour-as-fact story that she was having an affair with fellow star Robbie Williams was whispered into the ear of selected journalists who excitedly re-cycled it in the press.

Later she killed that story by claiming she was celibate and, of course, garnered a fresh crop of headlines.

The next phase saw her doing every interview going, which, in recent weeks, has made her omnipresent on the UK's news racks, TV, radio and internet.

Despite a backlash from Radio One, the UK's leading pop music station, which refused to play "It's Raining Men," nothing has been able to stop Geri's PR juggernaut as she heads for her third number one as a solo artist.

Geri's "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster" long-player is scheduled for release in the UK on May 14th.

CELEBRITY ROUND-UP

As usual 2003 has seen the birth and demise of many celebrity relationships.

The Most publicized of these was the relationship between Ben Affleck and latin beauty Jennifer Lopez. They apparently first got together on the set of 'Gigli' and the couple confessed all in an effort to make their movie seem fun.

When asked about their relationship Lopez said:

"It was the first time I had really really felt like walking away from a film, that I was going to have a friend. Then for something else to develop later on was more special obviously."

What didn't develop were good reviews for the film, despite the couples best efforts.

Affleck's former squeeze Gwyneth Paltrow continued her hush-hush romance with Coldplay's Chris Martin. But while the mild-mannered rocker had clearly unlocked her box, Gwyneth did her best to avoid the subject despite rumors that the couple are to have a baby.

Spreading their love globally were the Beckhams. Dolce and Gabbana's homage to David was but one part of the global admiration the talented kicker continued to attract:

"He is devastatingly good looking." Said Robbie Williams

Parting ways were Ed Norton and the very handsome Salma Hayek and British power couple Jude Law and Sadie Frost. He got fame; she the kids.

Self-declared happiest couple in the world David Gest and Liza Minelli split amid a storm of lawsuits.

This year has also seen a smattering of celebrity babies with Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones giving birth to their second child 'Carys'. Despite the new addition to the family Catherine is still managing to juggle her domestic life and career.

"I always hate to say juggling, because how could I possibly juggle my children you know? But yeah she's healthy and great and my schedule changes a lot and that's the one thing now that I really have to anticipate more is that before someone asked me to do a film anywhere in the world I'd just pack my bags and go, now I have to think OK I can't go, I can't take two children there, in the middle of the Sahara Desert or something. So that's changed a bit, but otherwise it's a complete dream to have that personal life so fulfilled and then have my career going at the same time - it's good." She said.

Despite Health fears Sir Paul McCartney's wife Heather Mills gave birth to the couples first child, a baby girl named Beatrice.

Also Oscar winning actor Russell Crowe became a dad after his wife, Danielle Spencer, gave birth to a baby boy.

Every year never fails to produce some celebrity arrests and 2003 was no different. This years highest profile arrest belongs to Michael Jackson. He was charged with multiple counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under fourteen. He called the accusations 'a big lie', and will have to disprove them at what could be the trial of the century in January.

Legendary record producer Phil Spector pleaded innocent to the murder of B-movie starlet Lana Clarkson at his sprawling mansion in Los Angeles. Spector says she got drunk and accidentally shot herself when she - quote - "kissed the gun".

Actress and shouter Courtney Love was in a big hole this year: hospitalised by drug overdose, busted by police for breaking the windows of her boyfriend's home, losing custody of her daughter, and she ended the year in rehab.

In August, accident-prone former R&B star Bobby Brown was in court on drugs and traffic charges just hours after being released from prison. Mr Whitney Houston was fined fourteen hundred dollars.

Towering star of US country music, the Man in Black, Johnny Cash, died this year, along with his wife June Carter Cash.

And for another reason there were absolutely no distractions of our out of life. It was like a lesson in what we don't need anymore. The faxes didn't work a lot of times, the phones didn't work, you wouldn't sit in front of the TV, you'd go out for walks, you'd play in the fields, you'd climb trees, you'd pick flowers, it was a really blissful time"

I think hopefully turn the focus quite rightly back to the film, which is after all what we were out there doing.'

ALICIA KEYS LEADS TSUNAMI RELIEF EFFORT

R&B star Alicia Keys led an array of singers and other international celebrities who entertained an enthusiastic audience of more than 11 thousand to raise money for tsunami relief work.

The MTV Asia Aid event in Bangkok on Thursday night brought together Western musicians and actors from India's Bollywood film industry to aid relief efforts in countries devastated by the Dec. 26 disaster.

Thailand's own sultry pop singer Tata Young was an early performer on a bill that included India's Asha Bhosle, Good Charlotte from the United States and Taiwan's Jay Chou.

Sting, 50 Cent and Robbie Williams voiced their support in taped messages. The crowd also saw a tape of Ricky Martin touring the devastated areas of southern Thailand last week.

Jennifer Lopez gave a performance on video, as did Irish pop star Ronan Keating, which showed him singing and playing guitar last week on Thailand's, tsunami-hit, Phuket island, accompanied by Thai children.

Chester Bennington of rap-rock band Linkin Park, who just returned from visiting Phuket, was among the presenters.

MTV Asia Aid will be broadcast on MTV channels around the world to a potential viewing audience of over 1 billion people.

STORYLINE

ROBBIE WILLIAMS PAPARAZZI POLICE INVESTIGATION

Police in the Bahamas are investigating the robbery of two paparazzi a few hours after they snapped shots of British pop idol Robbie Williams lounging on an exclusive beach in Exuma and argued with his entourage.

Superintendent Ellsworth Moss, who heads the detective unit of the Royal Bahamas Police Force, said Wednesday that investigators had questioned Williams about the early Sunday (21 JUNE 2009) robbery of the two celebrity photographers who travelled to Staniel Cay to sneak photos of the vacationing singer.

Moss stressed that Williams was not a suspect but that the incident may have been a "spin-off" or been triggered by what reportedly happened with his party on the beach.

A phone call to Williams' representative in London was not answered.

The paparazzi - Matt Sanchez of Splash News & Picture Agency and freelancer Carlos Mendez - told police they got into a shouting match with Williams' entourage while they photographed the star with zoom lenses.

Hours later, they alleged, four armed men broke into their rented room and stole $20,000 (US) dollars worth of cameras and other equipment.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Raymond Gibson said two men were in custody in connection with the case.

He did not disclose further details, saying the investigation was continuing.

Williams has long been a singing star in Britain and is popular in other countries.

But he hasn't generated much appeal in the United States, receiving more publicity for entering rehab for dependency on prescription drug than for his music.

Williams is stepping back into the limelight with his sixth studio album, entitled intensive Care,' the follow up to 2004's 'Escapology.'

There is growing pressure on Williams to deliver a huge-selling record after the modest commercial disappointment of 'Escapology,' especially after the singer signed an £80 million deal with EMI in 2003.

The album, set for release on 24 October, has been written and recorded with the former Lilac Time songwriter Stephen Duffy, and is Robbie's first without his previous songwriting partner, Guy Chambers. It was recorded in Williams' bedroom high in the Hollywood Hills over the space of the last two years.

In this time, the pair were wildly experimental, creating songs that sounded, variously, like 'Gang Of Four,' 'Bloc Party' and 'Kraftwerk,' before finally settling on a style that they felt most comfortable with.

Topics tackled on the record include Robbie's search for a wife ('Make Me Pure'), a family members death from cancer ('Please Don't Die') and an ode to Robbie's gay friends ('Your Gay Friend').

'Your Gay Friend' has provoked a tabloid frenzy in the UK as writers search for which of Robbie's celebrity friends inspired the song. Williams himself has remained tight lipped on the subject.

The album release will be proceeded by first single 'Tripping', which hit stores earlier this week. The song has been described by the singer as "something like a mini-gangster Opera," and is accompanied by a surreal video in which Robbie camps it up with a cross-dresser and finds himself lost in a never ending maze.

Williams will launch 'Intensive Care' with a show at Berlin's Velodrom on October 9th. His performance will be broadcast live to 23 cinemas and special venues as part of the first ever High Definition cinecast to venues in the UK and Europe.

The screenings (or "cinecasts") will present the show on large screens with 5.1 surround sound. At every location the evening will begin with the doors opening at 17:30 BST and the performance starting at 18:15 BST.

And what I am trying to say is that I hope that these songs will be as important to people like me in 15 years time. I hope they are listening to them and it breaks their heart to listen to them because of what they are associated with them...a song that breaks my heart...(sings) how much is that doggy in the window, woof woof.
