Taking Carrie Bradshaw to the big screen proved a shrewd move for Sarah Jessica Parker – the Sex and the City movie's so far raked in more than $300 million – and now she's eyeing the role of another single urban professional.
The star, 43, is in discussions with Warner Bros. about a screen version of novelist Karen Quinn's The Ivy Chronicles, described by the Hollywood Reporter as an up-to-date take about class and the single woman in Manhattan – though unlike Bradshaw, title character Ivy Ames moves out of the Upper East Side after the double whammy of a job loss and a divorce.

It must be love: In a clear signal to boyfriend Russell Brand during the MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin Thursday night, Katy Perry played the tease onstage by wearing underwear in the colors of his adored West Ham United soccer team. But the racy dress-up didn't, ahem, end there. Perry, 25, also revealed the name "Rusty" – stitched in silver letters – on the back of her knickers.

Packing and moving to new city, state or country is not an easy task. It is one of the most difficult tasks that no people want to take risk with. As it is known fact to every one packing all the household goods is not everyone’s cup of tea.

He's bigger than Ben-Hur at the moment, if you believe all the hype. Yet to come face-to-face with Robert Pattinson is to meet a serious artist, a multi-talented individual who could as easily have been a classical or funky musician as a movie star.
The Twilight juggernaut is propelling the 23-year-old British actor to the heights of mega stardom and, having previously only played minor roles, most notably as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, he is making the most of it.

POOR old De Beers is being harassed on all sides.
Though the diamond giant claims everything is tickety-boo with resurgent sales, chairman Julian Ogilvie Thompson warns of 'the likely increases in the flow of rough diamonds from Angola and the US stockpile, and uncertainty over possible leakages of Russian goods'.
All very ominous but cynics are also remarking on the coincidence that the £150 million recently raised on the capital markets equates neatly with the cost of the current final dividend payout.

My Letter to the Editorial Page Editor of the L.A. Times Regarding That Fact-Challenged Pro-ACORN Op-Ed Written by the ACORN Consultant
A recent op-ed in your paper defending ACORN makes at least two factual misstatements: 1) that ACORN staff offered to help shield an underage prostitution ring at only two offices, and 2) that no voter fraudulently registered to vote by ACORN had ever actually cast a ballot. Furthermore, your paper failed to disclose that the author of the op-ed, Peter Dreier, has been a (presumably paid) consultant for ACORN in the past .
