Zac Efron has been voted the most kissable waxwork figure at Madame Tussauds in London.

The 17 Again star nabbed 20% of the vote to beat competition from mayor Boris Johnson (15%) and Johnny Depp (14%) in a poll of 300 visitors.

"We encourage our guests to get really up close and personal with our celebrities and there is a lot of puckering up," said the museum's PR manager Liz Edwards.

"Some stars seem to get a lot more love than others though, and there are certain figures that our maintenance team are constantly removing lipstick from."

Other celebrities featured on the most kissable list included Angelina Jolie and Kate Moss, while Katie Price and Victoria Beckham were named the least kissable waxworks.

President Barack Obama was also honoured, being hailed as the celebrity without a waxwork that most people would like to kiss.

There is no way I would kiss any waxwork, no matter how much I might fancy the person :sick:

Imagine the germs on those things!

I can't believe Boris Johnson came 2nd. :rotfl:

Australian actress/singer Natalie Imbruglia has sparked rumours of another celebrity romance after she was snapped enjoying a night out with Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay.

The Torn singer split from her musician husband Daniel Johns in January after five years of marriage and has since been linked to Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill and British royal Prince Harry.

The Johnny English star was spotted on Thursday evening with Jay Kay at London nightspot the Groucho Club.

The pair left the club separately, with Imbruglia jumping in a taxi alone, but their plan was foiled when Jay Kay was spotted hopping in the car further down the road.

A witness tells British tabloid News of the World, "They looked gutted their plan didn't work but ended up smiling."

She is starting to do the rounds
Wasn't she recently with David Walliams

Former Royle Family star Liz Smith has revealed she is bowing out of acting after suffering a stroke.

The much-loved actress, 87, is still recovering after being in hospital for two months earlier this year.

Smith, who played Nana in the BBC comedy, said that, although she is getting stronger by the day, she accepts that further acting roles are beyond her.

It will be sad not to see her anymore but her health must come first.

Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr has allegedly refused to marry Orlando Bloom for a second time.

It was rumoured last week that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor had proposed to his partner and that she accepted, but a source has told The Daily Mail in Australia that she declined his proposal because she is "too young".

The source went on to say that Orlando has "told her he wants to marry her and will propose again this summer. If she says no, he's said it will be over."

This is not the first time that engagement rumours have surrounded Kerr and Bloom. Last month, the Australian lingerie model joked to reporters: "No engagement ring! Don't always believe what you read."

The couple have been dating since 2007.

I know several young ladies who would love to get an engagement ring from Orlando and he would only have to ask once :D

EIGHTIES pop star Sinitta is divorcing her husband, she revealed yesterday.

The singer and hubby Andy Willner, 49, who have two adopted kids, broke up after he moved to Hong Kong last year.

Sinitta, 42, said: "It is very sad. I loved him deeply for many years and it was never meant to end like this.

"But sometimes somebody does something and it disturbs you so much there's no option but to end it."

:cheer: Simon Pegg has become a father for the first time after his wife gave birth to a baby girl.

Speaking to Us Weekly, a representative for the Star Trek actor confirmed that the couple had welcomed a daughter but declined to give any further details.

Pegg previously admitted that he was "hoping for a baby girl" and was "thinking of having it in America as the baby will then have dual citizenship".

He later added: "I want to be a really good dad, a good influence and a good role model - someone my child can turn to, whatever the hell that means... It's all to do with your attitude and making sure they stay grounded, but making sure they aren't deprived of anything."

The 39-year-old star, who is godfather to Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's eldest child, has been married to Maureen McCann since July 2005.

Congratulations to them

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are soon to become parents, according to reports.

Stewart, who has apparently been dating Pattinson since their near-kiss at the MTV Awards, is rumoured to be panicking about her late period and believes that her Twilight co-star is the father.

Australian magazine NW quoted a source as saying: "When [she] worked out she was late, she obviously started to thinking that she could be pregnant. And because of the timing, she thinks Rob could be the father."

A friend of the actress was also reportedly spotted buying a home pregnancy kit for her.

Pattinson was recently 'warned off' a relationship with his co-star by his family. Both actors' representatives declined to comment on the reports.

Westlife star Shane Filan has announced that his wife Gillian is expecting another child.

The couple, who already have daughter Nicole, three, and nine-month-old son Patrick, confirmed that a new addition to the family is due early next year.

"I know a lot of you have already heard the rumours, but I wanted to confirm to you myself that Gillian and I are expecting another baby," Filan wrote on the group's website.

"We've been keeping it a complete secret from everyone for a while, and made the announcement at my 30th birthday party on Saturday.

"The baby's due early next year and we're completely over the moon about it. The thought of becoming a dad for the third time is just amazing!"

Earlier this month, Westlife confirmed that they had started work on their tenth album.

:cheer: Congrats

Kate Hudson has fuelled speculation she is dating baseball star Alex Rodriguez - the pair was spotted enjoying a romantic night out in the Big Apple on Sunday.

The Hollywood actress has been linked to the New York Yankees ace - nicknamed A-Rod - over the last few weeks and has been seen cheering him on during his recent baseball games.

Now the duo has been seen dining out together in Manhattan with U.S. sports presenter Bob Costas and his wife - prompting further rumours they are a couple.

A source tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "A-Rod and Kate were holding hands and whispering in each other's ears the whole time. They definitely looked every bit together."

Rodriguez was linked to Madonna last year following her split from Guy Ritchie, while Hudson is divorced from Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson. The former couple share a five-year-old son Ryder.

Angelina Jolie has reportedly told her friends that she would consider running for president of the United States.

The Wanted star, also a UN Goodwill Ambassador, has expressed a desire to become even more politically involved, the Daily Express reports.

"Ange has admitted she's getting bored with Hollywood. She said she's now got her sights set on Washington," said a source.

"She is passionate about people's rights, war and justice and thinks she can get more hands-on and make even more of a difference by getting into politics. She admires Obama and thinks she could make a big difference too if she were in his position."

However, Jolie recently admitted during an appearance on CNN programme Anderson Cooper 360 that she does not consider herself to be a political person.

Last month, she and husband Brad Pitt donated $1 million (£618,000) to aid Pakistan refugees through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

President? OMG what ever next Bill Clinton getting a job at McDonalds?

I thought Brangelina split up.

When?

I read somewhere they had seperate rooms in their house but that was never proven. Everything well them seems to be speculation

Several months ago I saw it on magazine covers in Sainsburys. Although we are talking about Heat and Closer.

I read something in Daily Mail one Saturday then a few days later the 2 seemed closer then ever. So I am in the dark about these 2

95% of what the Daily Mail print is made up and the other 5% distorted.

Anywho, I can't see Angelina being president.

True I guess
I don't think they have spilt up
They seemed to focused on their children to want to be apart

TV star Gillian Taylforth is giving her stormy relationship with violent ex-lover Geoff Knights another go, the News of the World can reveal.


The former EastEnders actress has let him move back into their luxury home - just a month after kicking him out and ending their volatile 23-year relationship.

Last night a source close to the couple said: "After spending a few weeks apart she's decided to take him back. She's said it's a case of she can't live with him, can't live without him.

"They've been through so much together it's easier than facing life apart."

"Her family are stunned though. They were hoping she was shot of him. They've branded him a monster in the past."

Another source told us: "All couples have rows, but they can patch things up and get over them."

Gillian's decision will upset her family, especially sister Kim, a former cop. Kim has said: "I've worked with victims in these situations. He tells her how awful she is, that nobody loves her and she'll never find another man."

We revealed last month that one-time millionaire businessman Knights, 54, was virtually penniless and dossing on friends' couches after being booted out of the family home in Broxbourne, Herts, where the couple lived with children Jessica, 17, and Harrison, 10.

It was a dramatic turnaround after Gillian - who played Kathy Beale in Enders for 15 years and starred in Footballers' Wives, The Bill and Strictly - endured years of violent bust-ups.

In 2005 she kicked Knights out for cheating with a barmaid but then forgave him. In 2006 Gillian needed three stitches in her scalp after he beat her up in front of their terrified son while out celebrating their 20th anniversary. He was cautioned after Gillian, 53, refused to press charges.

Six months later Geoff was convicted of assault after attacking a hotel receptionist in Barbados.

And in January this year he was arrested and bailed after allegedly assaulting Jessica's ex-boyfriend Darren Welsh, 18.

Zoë Ball has announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Norman Cook.

The 38-year-old DJ revealed her happy news live on air as she presented her Radio 2 show yesterday.

Addressing her listeners, she explained: "I've got some lovely news for you all. I'm having a baby. Woo!"

Ball and Cook, who have been married for nearly ten years, already have an eight-year-old son named Woody together.

She added: "We've had our three-month scan, the tests - all very good. And my little boy is so happy. He's waited an awful long time for a baby brother or sister."

Ball has made no secret of her desire for a second baby in the past. In 2006, she admitted that she was desperate for another child and would consider adoption.

Blue star Duncan James has revealed that he is bisexual in a candid interview about his personal life.

The 31-year-old popstar admitted that he first fell in love with a man eight years ago but was too scared to go public with the truth.

Speaking to the News Of The World, James confirmed: "I'm bisexual. I've been in loving relationships with men as well as women - and I'm not ashamed. But even though I fancy men, I still fancy women too."

He added: "I was living a secret life. I went through a process of asking: 'What the ******* am I? Am I gay? Am I straight? Am I bi?' That's why I was so frightened about talking. Now, in my early 30s, I know who I am and I'm proud of who I am. I don't want to hide anymore."

James, who is currently preparing for a new tour with Blue, also kept his struggles hidden from his mother and bandmates. He eventually announced his secret to his loved ones years later and was pleased by their accepting responses.

He commented: "After that I actually felt quite comfortable with myself."

The singer has been romantically linked to a number of high-profile women in the past, including Geri Halliwell, Tara Palmer Tomkinson and Martine McCutcheon. He also has a four-year-old daughter with his ex-girlfriend Claire Granger.

Was he frightened of being outed? is that why he has come out?
I don't see this as major news as I don't feel that their comeback will last like the group Take That. Nice he can be honest about his sexuality but now I can see past boyfriends coming forward trying to make a quick pound out of this.

Jade Goody's widower has been spotted kissing former EastEnders star Louisa Lytton, a report claims.

Jack Tweed, 22, met the actress at the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park yesterday afternoon and was seen locking lips with the 20-year-old shortly afterwards, according to the Daily Mail.

The newspaper reports that after surprising onlookers with the "passionate" moment, the pair continued to show their affection for each other by laughing, flirting and dancing together.

Tweed has repeatedly insisted that he does not want to find another girlfriend following the death of Goody, who lost her battle with cancer in March.

However, the late reality star's mother Jackiey Budden has publicly encouraged him to start dating when he feels ready.

Speaking in April, she revealed: "Jade wanted him to move on. He was a good husband to her but she didn't expect him to grieve forever."

Lytton is best known for playing Albert Square's Ruby Allen from 2005 to 2006. She later landed the role of PC Beth Green in The Bill, but decided to quit the ITV1 police drama last year.

Vanessa Hudgens has reportedly revealed that she is planning to strip for new movie Sucker Punch.

The High School Musical star is scheduled to begin work on the Zack Snyder movie, about a group of institutionalised girls who retreat into a fantasy world, later this year.

"I'm playing a character named Blondie and it's set in a brothel in the 1950s, so there's not a whole lot of clothes!" WENN quotes her as saying.

"It'll be gun training, stunts, fighting and all that craziness. I can't wait. I'm so excited. I've wanted to do an action film for a while."

She added: "I think this is my time to really step it up and get to grow up. It will be somewhat different with the content and a few more foul words but that's the biggest difference."

Last month, Snyder admitted that fans of Hudgens would be shocked at her transformation in the movie, which is scheduled for release in 2011.

A representative for former EastEnders star Louisa Lytton has dismissed speculation that she is romancing Jade Goody's widow.

The actress, who played Ruby Allen in the BBC One soap, was allegedly seen kissing and cuddling Jack Tweed at the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park on Sunday.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, her spokesperson said: "Louisa and Jack are friends who happened to bump into each other at the Wireless Festival.

"They did not kiss and they are not dating, Louisa is in a relationship with somebody else."

Tweed, 22, has previously insisted that he is not interested in finding a new girlfriend, despite his mother-in-law claiming that Goody would have wanted him to "move on" with his life.

Robert Redford has married his long-time girlfriend in a private ceremony in Germany, say reports.

The Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid star is understood to have tied the knot with Sibylle Szaggars at the luxurious Louis C. Jacob Hotel in Hamberg on Saturday night.

Speaking to People, Pastor Frank Englebrecht confirmed that he had presided over the "very intimate ceremony" in front of around 30 friends and family.

Redford began dating the 51-year-old artist in 1996 and they became engaged last March. They currently live at his 5,500-acre ranch in Utah, near the location of his annual Sundance independent film festival.

It is the second marriage for both Redford and Szaggars, with local newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt reporting that they will hold an "official" wedding party in Mexico in September.

Rapper Ll Cool J was forced to endure the flight from hell during a routine trip from Los Angeles to St. Louis, Missouri - after passengers were quarantined for three hours following an emergency landing.

The 41 year old MC was jetting to the state for the All-Star baseball game on Tuesday when a passenger claimed they could smell smoke.

The pilot took the decision to make an emergency landing in Kansas City.

But things got even worse when one of the passengers, who had returned from a trip outside of the US, fell ill, meaning all of the flight's ticketholders had to stay under quarantine for three hours.

However, LL Cool J proved himself to be the perfect superstar - happily posing for pictures and signed autographs for fans.

One passenger tells ESPN.com, "I was on the plane last night, too - sitting right behind LL on the plane, then with him in the airport in KC. I have to say that he couldn't have been more cool with all of us.

"Of course, some of us wanted to get a photo with him and he was just great about it. Given the situation, no one would have blamed him if he'd said 'hey, not now' - but he said 'sure!' and provided big hugs and warm smiles for us.

"Major, major points for being a true gentleman and a trooper."

But even the admiration from devotees couldn't get the star back on another plane - he hired a driver to complete the rest of his trip.

I hardly think being quarantined for three hours after a flight constitutes the "flight form hell." :rolleyes:

While police were investigating a bomb scare at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles, actors Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, inside the hotel promoting their upcoming film, The Ugly Truth, were forced to evacuate, along with 400 other guests.

For two hours, the stars mingled with fans outside the luxury hotel before retreating to the nearby Il Cielo restaurant. Butler, one eye witness tells PEOPLE, was spotted posing for pictures with members of the AC Milan soccer team, in town to play the Los Angeles Galaxy Sunday night. Heigl, barely recognizable with her hair dyed red, was seen leaving the hotel during the 1:45 p.m. evacuation.

Police investigated the premises and found no unattended packages or luggage and the hotel reopened two hours later. The bomb threat was delivered via telephone, police told PEOPLE.

Eddie Cibrian's wife Brandi Glanville has left him, she confirms exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly.

"Eddie and I have decided to take some time apart," says Glanville, 36, mother of Mason, 6, and Jake, 2. "I want to do what is best for our children. Eddie and LeAnn deserve each other."

According to Us Weekly, the final straw came after Cibrian, 36, and Rimes, 26were caught again together in the early afternoon of July 17 -- four months after Usmagazine.com broke the news of their affair -- outside the Malibu home of Jeff Berger, a longtime friend of the singer and her husband, Dean Sheremet.

Sources tell Us that Rimes' pal Berger has been facilitating similar meetings at his home for about a month and that Rimes and Cibrian also made use of a rental house on L.A.'s west side.

British actor Jude Law is facing allegations he attacked a female photographer outside a London club in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The Alfie star was enjoying a night out at exclusive hotspot Automat when he allegedly clashed with the unnamed woman, who was taking pictures of him leaving the venue.

The 28-year-old snapper alleges Law hit her on the head and slapped her in the face in an unprovoked attack, which was caught on camera by other members of the paparazzi.

The photographer tells British newspaper the Evening Standard, "He hit me full on the face, it was a real stinger, it was very sore.”

It is not known whether the snapper has reported the incident to the police.

Law has previously landed in trouble over scuffles with the paparazzi - in 2007 he was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm after he attempted to grab a photographer's camera. The actor escaped without charge.

Michael Jackson named his daughter Paris after Paris Hilton, according to the socialite herself.

The Simple Life star claims Jackson was close friends with her mother Kathy, and asked her permission to use the name when his 11-year-old daughter was born.

Hilton tells U.S. TV show Extra, "My mom and Michael went to high school together and they were best friends since they were 13.

"So I grew up knowing Michael very well and when he had his daughter, he always loved the name Paris and grew up being an uncle to me. So he asked my mom if it was okay and of course she said yes and I think she's such a beautiful little girl and I'm proud we have the same name."
