Halle Berry has been named as one of the 50 Most Beautiful Women In Film

Compiled by the Los Angeles Times Magazine, the Oscar-winning actress landed the number five spot thanks to her role as a Bond girl in ‘Die Another Day‘, closely followed by new mother Penelope Cruz – who gave birth to her first child with Javier Bardem last month – in 11th place.

With the likes of Jennifer Connelly, Kim Basinger and Anne Hathaway all making the top 20, the trio were joined by Hollywood legends Farrah Fawcett, Ava Gardner and Faye Dunaway, while Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe were voted in at number 22 and 32 respectively.

Victoria Beckham’s pregnancy has helped cure her acne

The former Spice Girls singer-turned-fashion designer – who has experienced skin problems since being a teenager – is delighted by the change in her appearance since falling pregnant with her fourth child.

A source close to the 36-year-old star – who is due to give birth in the summer – said: “Victoria has tried everything under the sun for her skin, yet nothing has worked as well as getting pregnant with her fourth baby. The hormones really suit her and she’s said this pregnancy has cleared up her spots!

“She has a pretty flush to her cheeks that wasn’t there before. It’s like a natural blusher. The texture of her skin is much smoother and any open pores seem to have closed up. She’s been drinking lots of water and eating fruit like kiwis and strawberries.”

As well as Victoria – who already has three sons, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz – being pleased with her skin, soccer star husband David Beckham, 35, thinks she is looking better than ever.

The source added: “David loves this healthy new glow. He thinks she’s sexier than ever.”

David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly expecting a baby girl

The couple – who have three sons, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz – are believed to have found out after a 16-week scan the private Rivers Hospital in Hertfordshire, southern England, that they will be adding a healthy baby girl to their brood this summer.

A friend of the pair told The Sun newspaper: “David and Victoria are over the moon. This will be their last child and to be told they are having a girl is the icing on the cake for the Beckham clan.

“Victoria is 36 and David is thinking about life after retirement. For them, with a sister for their boys – who are growing up fast – this is the perfect family. All their dreams have come true. They couldn’t have wished for more.”

Victoria has made no secret of her desire to have a little girl in the past, saying she would love someone to do girly activities with.

She explained: “I can imagine painting her nails, putting on make-up and choosing clothes with her.

“Everyone keeps asking if I’d like a little girl and I think, if I’m lucky enough to have another baby, that would be great.”

Taylor Lautner has beaten his ‘Twilight’ co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in 2010’s Hollywood Top 40 Earners List

Compiled by Vanity Fair magazine, the rankings revealed the 18-year-old actor raked in an estimated $33.5 million for his various movie appearances throughout 2010, making him the ninth-highest earner in Hollywood.

As well as pushing last year’s number nine Robert Downey Jr. into tenth place, Taylor beat both Kristen and Robert – who received $28.5 million and $27.5 million for their respective film roles over the past 12 months – who landed in 13th and 14th places.

Vanity Fair’s contributing editor Peter Newcomb explained: “He’s perhaps the highest-paid teenage star right now. When they first negotiated their contracts, they were getting paid a lot less.

“Then, with the immense success of the film, the agents went back and renegotiated the deal – Lautner’s deal in particular was really bumped up.”

With ‘Avatar‘ director and producer James Cameron securing the top spot in the rankings with an estimated yearly earning of $257 million, Johnny Depp – who raked in $100 million in 2010 – was listed as the highest-earning actor, taking home $40 million for his role as the Mad Hatter in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ alone.

However, despite being pipped to the post by her ‘Twilight’ co-star, Kristen Stewart’s estimated $28.5 million earnings made her the highest-ranking female star in 2010.

Victoria Beckham is craving marmalade

The singer-turned-fashion designer – who is pregnant with her fourth child with husband David Beckham – has developed a hunger for the sweet orange preserve, accompanied by cups of English breakfast tea.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Victoria is having a lot of tea and toast with lashings of marmalade. She can’t get enough of the stuff.

“Mostly she’s been having it on toast, accompanied by lots of cups of tea.”

The 36-year-old star suffered from bad morning sickness whilst pregnant with her first three children, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, five, but this time round she is not feeling so ill.

The source added: “She’s not having morning sickness like she has done before.”

The former Spice Girl is around four months pregnant, with the baby due in the summer.

Earlier this month, Victoria tweeted her excitement about the impending new arrival, saying she and David were “very excited”.

She wrote: “Thank u so much for your kind and beautiful messages!!! we are all so happy and very excited!!!!!! x vb x (sic)”

David and Victoria Beckham have enrolled their three sons into an English private school

The soccer player and his fashion designer wife decided to enter Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz into classes at the school near their ‘Beckingham Palace’ home in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.

The family are leaving their Los Angeles home for three months so Victoria can prepare for London Fashion Week in February and ahead of David’s potential loan deal to English team Tottenham Hotspur.

The school fees will cost the couple anything from £3,000 to over £5,000 a term and the three boys are set to arrive tomorrow (06.01.11).

A source told The Sun newspaper: “All the staff are talking about it – everyone in the school knows. All three boys are coming. Everyone is looking forward to seeing them.”

The 35-year-old sportsman is currently trying to negotiate a three-month loan move to Tottenham Hotspur, who are based in London, from his regular club Los Angeles Galaxy.

The source added: “The family’s stay in England doesn’t mean David has signed for Tottenham.

“It could be he won’t even sign for another club during his break from Los Angeles Galaxy.”

Mel B is worried married people will think she’s “a pervert” – because she speaks about her sex life so much

The former Spice Girls singer is happy to openly talk about her bedroom antics with husband Stephen Belafonte, but does worry about how people could perceive her.

Mel said: “We have lots of sex, we raise our kids very well and Stephen cooks dinner every night for the whole family – life’s good.

“Everybody has sex, especially if you’re married. I don’t know if married people will be inspired by me though – they might just think I’m a pervert.”

Mel – who raises her daughters, Phoenix, 11, and Angel, three, from previous relationships and Stephen’s child Giselle, seven, with her husband – also revealed she thinks having sex is a good way to keep fit.

The 35-year-old star – who has been married to Stephen for three years – added: “I think any kind of sexual activity is a bit of a workout if you do it right. We have good communication with each other and I never fake it.”

David Beckham has got a new tattoo

The 35-year-old soccer ace – who already has around 20 etchings – got the inking on his chest before flying to the UK to receive a Lifetime Achievement honour at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards last night (19.12.10).

The hunky sportsman posted a photo on his Facebook page of himself bare-chested and getting the tattoo in Los Angeles, and explained the intricate body art took six hours to complete by tattooist to the stars Mark Mahoney.

David wrote: “I want to let you all in on something. Just had a new tattoo done by the legendary Mark Mahoney. Took six hours!”

The Los Angeles Galaxy player – who attended the sports ceremony in Birmingham with his wife Victoria and their three sons, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz – was presented with his award by Manchester United soccer legend Sir Bobby Charlton, 73.

After receiving a three-minute-long standing ovation, David – who captained England, and won soccer championships with Manchester United and Real Madrid – dedicated his prize to his wife and children, saying: “Not only has she given me three amazing boys but she’s truly an inspiration for me every day. So Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, thank you.”

Victoria – who cried in the audience as her husband accepted his statuette – described the reception as “breathtaking” and spoke of her pride for David and their sons.

Writing on twitter, she said: “Words can’t express how proud I am of David. A truly wonderful and very emotional evening. I’m so proud of my little men too!!!

“Thank u all so much for your kind words to David! The reception tonight was breath taking and I am so, so proud of him!!

“I couldn’t sleep!!!!! so excited, happy and proud of David!!!! (sic)”

Victoria Beckham is helping her friend Eva Longoria get over her split from husband Tony Parker and is organising a girls’ night out for the actress.

The former Spice Girls singer – who was known as ‘Posh Spice’ during her time in the girl group – is devastated for her close pal following the ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress’ announcement last week she is separating from the basketball player.

The 36-year-old star is determined to bring a smile back to Eva’s face and is organising a girls-only night out for her.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “Victoria has rounded all the girl troops in their inner clique so they can have some girly time and relax. Posh has given her some sexy VB dresses to cheer her up and is planning a night out for Eva with all their celeb friends.”

Victoria has also invited the 35-year-old actress to her Los Angeles home to spend Thanksgiving Day (25.11.10) with her and her family – husband David Beckham and sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz.

The source added: “Victoria has asked her over for dinner and wine to cheer her up.”

Victoria and David struck up a close friendship with Eva and Tony when they first moved to Los Angeles in 2007. The former couple helped the British stars settle into Hollywood.

The screen star filed papers to dissolve her three-year marriage last Wednesday (17.11.10), citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the break-up.

The 28-year-old sportsman filed his own divorce papers in Bexar County, Texas, on Friday (19.11.10), stating the “marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between Petitioner and Respondent”.
