Garraway denies affair with dance partner

TV presenter Kate Garraway has said she and her husband are as in love as ever, dismissing allegations about her relationship with her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Anton Du Beke.
In a statement released by her solicitors, Garraway, who is married to psychotherapist Derek Draper, said she had been "extremely hurt" by allegations in a Sunday newspaper.
She said: "Contrary to these insinuations Derek and I are as faithful, happy and in love today as we have ever been.
She continued: "The plain truth is that Anton and I became friends during 'Strictly Come Dancing'."
"Since then we often work and hang out together. For that to be twisted into something else is sad, hurtful and totally untrue."
The 'GMTV' presenter added: "I am extremely upset and hurt by the allegations. I made it clear before publication that there was no truth to them whatsoever.
"Given they were published in any event and continue to be published, I feel I have no option but to take libel proceedings against the newspaper to set the record straight."

Jim Broadbent - Broadbents Potter Snub

British actor JIM BROADBENT took on a role in forthcoming movie HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE - despite harbouring a dislike for the boy wizard franchise.

The star plays teacher Horace Slughorn in the sixth installment of the films, which are all adapted from J.K. Rowling's book series.

But Broadbent insists he did not accept his role in the penultimate movie out of love for the famous books - admitting that he doesn't even like the Potter series.

He says, "I'm not a massive fan."

Kim Kardashian - Kardashian Selling Clothes Accessories For Charity

Hollywood socialite-turned-reality TV star KIM KARDASHIAN is cleaning out her closet for charity.

The former best friend of Paris Hilton, Kardashian will auction off Jimmy Choo boots, Chanel bags and various designer dresses and accessories to raise cash for the Dream Foundation, which grants wishes to the terminally ill.

Kardashian will also take a winning bidder out for lunch and a shopping spree at her DASH store in Calabasas, California.

She says, "It's going to be amazing! These are some of my favourite items... Plus, (you can) bid to have a fantastic lunch with me and my sisters, followed by some personal shopping help from us at our store."

And she's urging other celebrities to follow her lead and use eBay.com's Giving Works resource to help raise cash for unwanted items.

She adds, "You get to do something good... and look good doing it. And, in case you didn't know, anytime you sell something on eBay, you can donate a percentage of your proceeds to charity.

"So clean out those closets and get rid of last season's clothes for a great cause."

Kardashian's eBay.com auction begins on Thursday night (29May08).

Speed Racer A Slow Starter Overseas Too


Speed Racer
hit the overseas market with all gaskets blowing. It earned just $12.8 million in
30 countries, to place third at the international box office, behind Iron Man,
which remained the top film with a gross of $39 million in its second week. (It
has now grossed $165 million overseas. With its domestic gross, its worldwide total
has reached $342.1 million after two weekends.) Twentieth Century Fox's What Happens
in Vegas actually earned more overseas than it did in the U.S., drawing an estimated
$23 million in 36 countries.
