Cat Deeley looks ravishing in this turquoise number.

Lookin' sharp girl, lookin' sharp.

Magic and cocktails this Sunday

CellarDoor, Zero Aldwych
Sunday, magic from 7-10pm 
Free 

Oh alright, I confess: I was going to write about CellarDoor on The Strand a good month ago but suffered a crisis of "But it's MI-INE"-ness and backed out.

I love it. It's my favourite place in London. Cheery, glamorous and so damned small that it nearly breaks my heart to talk about it.

If you haven't had the pleasure, this wonderful retro-burlesque glamour cupboard is located down some stairs next to the Lyceum Theatre and Sunday's excellent magic evening should be your first port of call.

Sienna hits new Heights

Sienna Miller is in talks to play one of her most challenging roles yet – Cathy in the classic Wuthering Heights.

The actress, 26, was approached by director John Maybury after Natalie Portman unexpectedly withdrew from the film role.

John is a huge fan of Sienna’s work after directing yet-to-be-­released The Edge of Love, in which she co-starred with Keira Knightley. ­London-based actor Michael ­Fassbender – who is at the centre of controversy over a new biopic on IRA hunger-striker Bobby Sands – will play Heathcliff in the Emily Bronte classic film adaptation.

Sienna’s fella Rhys Ifans must be so pleased she’s co-starring with yet another hunk.

Madonna seems to be doing good business at her Notting Hill gym, with British designer Stella McCartney becoming the latest to sign up.

Stella, Iron Man star Gwyneth Paltrow and Madge herself were all seen leaving her personal fitness centre ­yesterday with Madonna’s trainer Tracy Anderson.

She's a lil party animal

Could Lily Allen be drinking her way into a movie career?

And three things to do tomorrow (Saturday) after the jump...

Point Break 2?

I can't decide whether I'm excited or totally weirded out about plans tofollow up one of the most quotable films of the  century.

Point Break revolutionised us as teens (17 years ago), and now to think of a sequel with or without Keanu Reeves or Patrick Swayze is, just so damn, strange.

I'm not so sure about grandpa surfer bank robbers, or other hot newcomer actors trying to reprise our faves, Bodie and Johnny.

There's no word from film producers yet as to whether Reeves and Swayze will star or play cameos...

But here's something from the vault to wet your appetite.

Bodie: "Some guys snort for it, some guys jab a vein for it, but all you gotta do is jump!"

"See you in hell Johnny!"

(Bodie, bad bank robber, then surfs the wave of the century at Bells Beach, Oz)

Angry Oz cop: "You let him go!!!"

Johnny Utah: "No I didn’t, he’s not coming back in"

Only 50 people queued for Posh Harrods signing

Posh Spice hit Harrods yesterday in an attempt to shift some of her designer dVb jeans range - but embarrassingly, barely anyone turned up.

Thelondonpaper joined the queue after snapping up a white vest for £65 and managed to grab a few words with Victoria Beckham.

The so-called 'style icon' may have been disappointed with the turn out, just 50 people queued for two hours to have items from DVB range signed, but she was in good spirits as she joked how good our male reporter would look in one of her slinky vest tops.

Asked about notorious party girl Paris Hilton, who is staying at the Dorchester Hotel in Park Lane as well, she said they had no plans to meet up.

Beckham said: “I met her a long time ago and haven’t seen her since. No I won’t be going for drink with her.

“I’m having dinner with my mum and dad tonight and then getting an early night.”

See what else she had to say...

Ellen and Portia to wed

Here come the brides....

Wedding bells beckon for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

The blonde couple will tie the knot now that it is legal for gays and lesbians to get married in the State of California.

The cute talk show host made the sweet announcement at a taping of her TV show on last night, which airs today in the States.

Apparantly the audience went NUTS...and Portia was there to hear it.

The Charlatans live last night

Giving their latest album away for free hasn't done The Charlatans any harm. The Madchester survivors' public profile is the highest it's been in years, ensuring their Forum show was last night's hot ticket.

Even so, reaction to the new tracks was muted, and it wasn't until they broke out Britpop-era classic 'One To Another' eight songs in that the crowd began rooting for them. Recent single 'Oh! Vanity' fared better, its Hammond-heavy sound segueing nicely with 'The Only One I Know'.

Singer Tim Burgess looked enviably youthful in a monochrome get-up he might have borrowed from new mates The Horrors – although the jet-black bowl cut was arguably a step too far.

There was fresh zest too in the way 'A Day For Letting Go' cheekily cribbed from the Klaxons. But it was old favourites 'How High' and 'Sproston Green' that the fans went home humming.

Paris launches new purrrrfume

Paris Hilton Launched her fragrance 'Can Can', at Selfridges in London around lunchtime in London today.

The socialite stepped out in a tight white dress and hair-piece, reminicient of the one worn by Sarah Jessica Parker for the Sex and the City premiere on Monday.

As usual, she preened and pouted her favourite half-open mouth smile, and blew kisses to anyone who would catch them.

Funnily, Paris posed in front of a carboard billboard of herself that resembled her, but  in a 'I wanna be a princess' kind-of-way.

The cardboard version boasted extra-long straight hair (with a dead-straight fringe) and a flowing pink Cinderella ball-gown - a look that despite her many costume changes over the years, we have never witnessed.

I mean, who wants to be a heiress these days anyway?!

Read on to see what I mean...

Things we like...

Like every girl, I like getting presents. I am now in a massive quandary as I can't decide which sends me into more orgiastic ecstasies of joy: The Presets glittery snow dome (Steamworks! Cookie! Oh my...) or the 12-pack of Grey Goose mini vodkas.

Luckily the online desk can decide for me.

"Would you like some vodka?"

"Um, thanks but no."

"Er, you don't have to drink it RIGHT NOW."

"Oh brilliant. In that case yes. Yes I would."

Apparently they're supposed to be drunk on the rocks but we're sadly lacking in ice and our water cooler doesn't cut it. Glass please!

Eva's spectacular pins

Glitzy Eva Longoria Parker gets her pins out at the opening
ceremony dinner in Cannes.

Dressed to impress, the Desperate Housewives star, did indeed shine - from head to toe in this sparkly metalic number.

Tressled sexy locks completed the fashion-icon's look.

Mathew's horne for Alan Pardew

Gavin and Stacey star Mathew Horne has “come out of the closet” to reveal a passion for Charlton FC boss Alan Pardew.

While reporting that filming for his lesbian-vampire movie with co-star James Corden was going “great”, the actor jokingly told us: “I shagged Alan Pardew.”

With Alan standing just yards away, Matthew, 29, told us at the recent BTPodshow.com launch party at Shoreditch House: “I’m quite happy with my girlfriend, but Alan’s the only guy to really catch my eye.” Maybe the free booze had gone to his head...

Rio gushes with Usher

They might both be at the top of their game at the moment, but was that any justification for the gushing “love-in” ­between Rio Ferdinand and the singer Usher?

When the Manchester United defender was called upon to interview the American star for Bebo, he opened the floodgates by saying: “It’s a pleasure for me to be sitting here.”

Not to be outdone, Usher, 29, replied: “When I first met you, I got your autograph and it was an honour. You signed ‘love for life’ and I though that was so cool.”

To top it all off, Rio, 29, added: “Remember when you did Party in the Park? You gave me your Union Jack T-shirt. I’ve got it framed!” Get a room...

Black kung-fu's innocent panda

And...back on the topic of Ang and her bubs.... naughty Jack Black followed his on-air gaff with an gutsy display of martial arts..

The comedian appeared to Kung fu kick an innocent, happy-faced panda at Cannes. The panda was clearly a long way from home and appeared startled, and suffering from heat exhaustion.

Sadly, some 40 life sized "pandas" at the Carlton Hotel pier looked on (in horror) as Black pursued his black and white furry opponent.

Dustin Hoffman and Lucy Liu also take part in the film, which centres around Po, a clumsy kung fu fan who works in his family's noodle shop.

He is unexpectedly chosen to fulfil an ancient prophecy and join the kung fu world.

Lily Allen unveils her smash hits

Lily Allen got her kit off on her way to Cannes.

The 23-year-old singer was snapped at the famed Eden Rock in Cap d'Antibes, France in, erm, just her sparkly gold bikini bottoms.

Relaxing on holiday with pals, Lil looked like her troubles had washed away... along with her bikini top.

Warning: Nudity to follow...

Jack Black confirms Jolie twins

Angelina Jolie and Jack Black will promote their new movie at the Cannes Film Festival today, after the actor let slip his co-star was expecting twins.

The pair are in Cannes for the animated film Kung Fu Panda, for which they provide the voices.

As the festival got under way, Black dropped the hint during a side-by-side interview with Jolie for a television show.

He joked to Jolie that she and husband Brad Pitt will "have as many as (the) 'Brady Bunch' when you have these."

"It's confirmed?" asked NBC interviewer Natalie Morales.

"Yeah, yeah, we've confirmed that already," Jolie said. "Well, Jack's just confirmed it actually."

"Is that true?", Black said jokingly.

"Yeah, you did," Jolie replied.

"Sorry," Black said.

Excerpts of the interview were being broadcast last night on Access Hollywood, with the full interview airing on today's NBC's Today.

Twins make the fifth and sixth children for Jolie and Brad Pitt.
