Liz Hurley admits she retouches her holiday photographs.

The British actress-turned-fashion designer digitally enhances her photos so she always looks her best in a bikini, even for her private photo collection.

She said: “I like a certain amount of retouching, like anybody. We all like to get rid of spots and shadows under our eyes.”

“I don’t have professional Photoshop, just the one that comes with your camera. Every time I download my holiday snaps, I always go over them. Just the red eye and the color enhancement. I don’t do any slimming because you need a silly programme – but the color enhancing is heaven.”

“Vanity retouching – who wouldn’t?”

Although Liz – who has just designed a bikini range for Spanish high street fashion store Mango – is happy to have her body digitally enhanced, she refuses to let anyone change her face.

The 42-year-old star added in an interview with Britain’s Style magazine: “I’ve always been quite particular – I don’t like my face to be retouched. Often, people will want to correct one’s face, and with me, they always want to change my nose.”

“And I say, ‘No, no, I can’t look like that. I don’t mind if you want to make me a bit thinner and a bit younger, but you can’t give me a different jaw or eyebrows.”

Daniel Radcliffe’s manhood will be protected by security when he makes his Broadway debut.

The “Harry Potter” actor will strip naked in play “Equus” in New York later this year, and theater bosses are worried audiences may try and sneak cameras in just as some fans did when he starred in the West End version of the play.

Special equipment is now being installed to prevent theater-goers taking photos of him in the nude.

A source is quoted by Britain’s Daily Star newspaper as saying: “When the show opened in the UK, some rather over-enthusiastic female fans sneaked cameras in to snap Daniel when he strips naked on stage.”

“They all wanted pictures to circulate to friends and over the internet so we are bringing in tighter security.”

Bosses are also considering increasing security at the stage door, so the 18-year-old star can arrive and leave safely without being mobbed.

Daniel – who plays young wizard Harry Potter in the big-screen versions of J.K. Rowling’s books – recently confessed he is nervous about making his Broadway debut.

He said: “It will be amazing – but I will be terrified!”

Angelina Jolie has been branded ”dorky” by her own children.

The 33-year-old actress says that despite her and partner Brad Pitt’s glittering Hollywood careers, their four kids don’t see them as stars.

She told America’s Star magazine: “I think our kids will look back on all that as being really funny when they get older, because they think of us as being really dorky - in fact, the dorkiest people on the planet!”

“We are very much just parents together, although we have moments of being sexy and fun, and I do find Brad very sexy, obviously. I believe we are together for all the other reasons.”

Angelina has previously admitted to being a “dorky teenager” after pictures of her as a 13-year-old dressed as Boy George surfaced.

Angelina, who stars as a sexy femme fatale in new thriller “Wanted,” is mother to adopted children six-year-old Maddox, four-year-old Pax and Zahara, three, and 21-month-old biological daughter Shiloh with Brad.

She is also rumored to be pregnant with twins.

Synopsis

:

“Surfwise” follows the odyssey of 85-year-old, legendary surfer Dr. Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz, his wife Juliette, and their nine children - all of whom were home-schooled on the beaches of Southern California, Hawaii, Mexico and Israel; they surfed every day of their lives, and were forced to adhere to a strict diet and lifestyle by their passionate and demanding, health-conscious father.

In the mid-1950s Dorian Paskowitz was a successful doctor living the good life in the territory of Hawaii, until two devastating divorces and the realization that he had no interest in money or status caused him to completely upend his life. Dorian dropped his practice and traveled to Israel for a year where he lived among the Bedouins and developed a lifelong obsession with a healthy diet. He introduced surfing to Israel and became a hero in the burgeoning Tel Aviv beach scene.

Returning to the States, he met his wife Juliette, and the rest was history. They fell madly in love, steered clear of society, lived out of a tiny camper on the beach, and had 7 sons in rapid succession: David, Jonathan, Abraham, Israel, Moses, Adam, and Salvador Daniel. Then they had one daughter, Navah, and their ninth child, Joshua.

The children were raised in the Jewish tradition, complete with Shabbat on the beach every Friday night. But that’s where similarities with a normal societal upbringing end. Doc’s absolute determination was to raise his children according to the strictest standards of nature. They ate only organic and/or raw foods with no sugar or fat. Their community was their family. They didn’t need money or have to pay bills or taxes. Their home was anywhere the crowded camper was parked.

What happens to eight brothers and a sister that are raised under such extraordinary circumstances?

“Surfwise” is the story of a man who pursued his dreams and dragged his family along for the wild ride.

On behalf of Peace Arch Entertainment, we are pleased to present ”The Babysitters” poster and production stills.

Synopsis

:

Shirley Lyner (Katherine Waterston) is a typical high school teen - she worries about her grades and the SAT’s; she wonders if her best friend’s step-brother likes her, she baby-sits a few nights to make some extra cash. Shirley even has a little crush on one of her new clients; the dad, Mr. Beltran (John Leguizamo), makes her blush when he comes to pick her up.

But when Mr. Beltran kisses Shirley before taking her home, Shirley kisses back. And the extra big tip Mr. Beltran gives Shirley on top of her babysitting fee feels less like a guilty payoff and more like a little of surge of electricity. So when Mr. Beltran’s friend wants to know if Shirley has any friends who can also “baby-sit,” Shirley sees a way she can make a quick twenty percent. Before long, Shirley realizes, the more girls she has “babysitting,” the bigger her college fund.

Unfortunately for Shirley, the seven deadly sins are deadly for a reason. Soon greed, envy, jealousy have Shirley caught up not in love, not even in lust, but in a high stakes game of commerce where the buying and selling may look like fun, but the consequences can be fatal.

A cautionary tale about the risky and unintended consequences of living out one’s fantasies, “The Babysitters” stars John Leguizamo (Michael Beltran), Katherine Waterston (Shirley), and Cynthia Nixon (Gail Beltran) and is written and directed by David Ross.

The English actor is looking for funding for the movie, which will look at the last three years of the influential playwright’s life.

Everett told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: “What I really need now is a billionaire who loves Oscar Wilde and Rupert Everett and who will pay for the whole thing - $24 million is a lot for a film like this.”

“The Victorian era is expensive to reproduce and we want to film it in England, Italy and France where Wilde spent his last days.”

“I’m not against getting a good director to do it, but they are all so busy and no one is available.”

Everett is well qualified for the role of Wilde as he has previously written two novels and an autobiography on the Victorian writer.

Flamboyant Wilde, who was persecuted for his homosexuality and spent his last three years in self-imposed exile in Europe, was last played on screen by Stephen Fry in the 1997 film “Wilde,” which was nominated for a Golden Globe award.

The “Wow” singer, who turns 40 next month, wants to fall in love again but insists she will be happy if she doesn’t get married.

She said: “I never had the feeling I was made for a conventional marriage with a house in the suburbs.”

“There are artists such as Debbie Harry or Dolly Parton who have managed to have an unbelievable career without a family.”

“Above everything else, it comes down to how much love you have in you and if you are ready to give that love. How things will turn out for me with regards to family I simply can’t yet say.”

Kylie also revealed she is planning to celebrate her landmark birthday on May 28 with a low-key party.

She added to Germany’s Vogue magazine: “For me it’s no big deal. I’ve not planned anything spectacular.”

“I will celebrate with a small circle of friends and the next day will appear at my next concert.”

The Australian beauty has promised fans will see a change in her image when she embarks on her “KylieX2008″ tour this summer.

She said: “The showgirl and feathers are behind me. Jean Paul Gaultier sketched all my costumes for the tour - all couture.”

The “Material Girl” singer – who turns 50 later this year – is happy to slob around at home in a comfortable tracksuit, much to 11-year-old Lourdes’ horror.

Madonna – who is married to director Guy Ritchie - said: “I’m happy to muck around in a pair of a drawstring pants and wellies but my daughter gets angry because I go to school wearing my tracksuit. She says, ‘Can’t you just wear normal clothes?’”

“I think she wants me to be a yummy mommy but that’s not me. Guy will sometimes laugh at what I wear, too.”

Madonna recently admitted she was a “geek” when she began her career.

The “4 Minutes” singer - who was known for her raunchy image when she hit the music scene in the early 80s - insists people had the wrong idea about her and she was well-behaved.

She said: “I really was not getting up to much. I don’t think I was as naughty as I could have been.”

“I was quite straight. I was a geek when I was that age. I did not really do that much that was interesting.”

The 32-year-old producer was instantly smitten with Daisy Lowe - who only learned the Bush singer, who had been her godfather, was in fact her biological father four years ago - when they were introduced through mutual friend Sean Lennon and he has put all his efforts into wooing the brunette beauty over recent months.

Mark - who recently split from his long-term girlfriend, American artist Cosi Theodoli-Braschi - and the 18-year-old lingerie model enjoyed a secret date at the BRITs in February and the musician has since flown her out for a sun-drenched Miami holiday.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Mark has put everything into romancing Daisy. She is a stunning girl and he was dead set on making her his new girlfriend.”

“He has pulled out all the stops to impress her. She is living between London and New York, as does Mark, so there is no problem with long-distance relationship headaches.”

Daisy - who models for raunchy underwear film Agent Provocateur - was the product of a brief fling between her mother Pearl Lowe and Gavin in the late 80s.

Gavin’s paternity was only confirmed following DNA tests and he and Pearl are now embroiled in a court battle over back payments of child support.

Pearl has since had three children with her long-term partner, Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey, while Gavin is married to singer Gwen Stefani, who is expecting their second child.
