Duffy in NEW Diet Coke Commercial

As if winning 3 gongs at the Brit Awards and 1 Award at the Grammy’s wasn’t enough we now have Duffy in a Diet Coke Commercial.

She’s performing live at a concert and she’s been told she has 2 minutes for a break so what does she decide to do, she grabs a bike, goes for a ride including riding through a supermarket singing “I’ve got to me” then heads back to her gig just in time to carry on performing.

Just hoping this doesn’t start a new craze of women riding round on cycles with Diet Coke in hand singing “I’ve got to me”!!

Naomi Watts is currently filming on location in Los Angeles for her new film “mother and Child”, one of her first films for some time.

She’s been quiet news wise recently, as she’s recently had two kids, but now they are older, she is back in the acting and film industry fray, in the spotlight, and she is back in the headlines.

Most people will remember her from her roles in the commercially popular films The Ring, The Ring 2 and King Kong, but she has also starred in some slightly lesser known films such as the oscar nominated 21 Grams and also the David Lynch film Mulholland Drive, a superb, clever but odd film that was her first film that propelled her into stardom. She tends to make slightly more unusual choices in films but supernatural and quality horror/thrillers seem to suit her very well ,but she is able to turn her hand to multiple genre’s, which is always a sign of a good actress.

A Very Big Baby Bump is the Costume for Actress Naomi Watts

Her latest film she will be starring in, which is currently in the process of being shot photo above)  is called “Mother and Child” and she sports a huge baby bump in this film. (costume not the real deal)  and this is a drama which also stars Samuel L Jackson and Annette Benning. It’s about three women , a 50 year old woman, the daughter she gave up for adoption 35 years ago and a third woman looking to adopt a child of her own. The film is obviously still in its formative stages so no further plot details are yet avaialble. It’s currently being filmed in Studio City which is in the San Fernando Valley part of Los Angeles. Release we predict probably some time in 2010!

But thats not the main reason Rachel Bilson is hot news, although any reason is good enough here, if she was caught walking her dog in the rain, we would probably have that here as well. The main reason is there is an engagement buzz/rumour around this lady at the moment, involving non other than Hayden Christensen and top respected media sources are quoting this headline, but with a question mark on the end, so something is happening here.

She is looking even more attractive and smiley than usual, there’s a glow about her,  and of course the media thought that this would be the opportune moment to find out whether these engagement rumours are true, she has to get in and out of the event thats a dead cert.  In true celeb style, Rachel’s lips were sealed, and proved elusive, and no ring was on display, but the eyes and smile in our opinion cannot conceal that something is going on, and there just may be some cred to these rumours!

Engagement rumours aside for those who are wondering whether Rachel Bilson does actually have a dog…..see below!

4th Annual

Not a top flight event but for us this photo capturing Freida Pinto and Kate Winslet on arrivals is one of those priceless shots that these smaller more intimate events can sometimes produce. It’s a highly relevant photo in the current awards climate with both Kate and Freida  potentially the leading stars of the Oscars, it remains to be seen on the night whether the winning run that both these stars have enjoyed continues into the very choosy and aloof Oscar Award Ceremony on Sunday!

A lot of headlines surrounding Freida Pinto at the moment, some are rumours, some look to be fact some sample headlines from top news sources below to form an opinion on what looks to be a very focused rising star to watch in 2009! This lady it has to be said, stunning looks aside, has an uncanny knack of getting the look spot on the money for Red Carpet events. If rumours are true she could be SINGLE…………don’t think that will last for long though!!!!
