Oh, and no less a director than James Cameron, the man who brought us 'Titanic', is also rumoured to be keen to get involved in a Boyle movie. I doubt Susan, the small town dweller who lives with her cat Pebbles, thought her year was going to turn out quite like this.

Britain evidently does have talent. And, Britain has lard.

It's not exactly a nation known for its wholesome eating. But with the help of royalty and a model-slash-actress, things are changing...

Prince Charles is launching an organic, low-fat food range, with Liz Hurley. Seriously.

The food's reportedly all going to be sourced from Liz's Cotswolds farm and promoted by Duchy Originals ? Charlie's sustainable food company. The prince's looks aren't really enhanced by comparisons to Hurley's as he stands next to her at promo events for the line ? but he's toughing it out in the name of a healthier Britain.

It doesn't look as if anyone's TV viewing is going to get any healthier, though. Certainly not if the man with the most Twitter followers has a hand in it.

Ashton Kutcher is capitalising on his success with 'Punk'd' and jumping back into small-screen producing ? this time with a Mischa Barto vehicle called 'A Beautiful Life'. Oh, the irony of that title.

After leaving 'The O.C.' Barton's bid for cinema stardom fizzled, so she's injecting herself back into the public eye with this. Thankfully, it sounds as if she'll have someone else dressing her on the show, so we'll be spared those endless shorts/T-shirt/waistcoat/trendy hat combos of hers.

Apparently, "It?s a really great show." That the assessment from, um, Mischa herself. "It?s like 'The O.C.', but times 10." Oh... good.

"Everyone is dressed in the latest Versace and McQueen. Zac Posen has a fashion show in the first episode and plays himself," she prattles on.

"It?s a younger version of 'Sex and the City'. I play a super bitchy model in New York. If the pilot does well I will be spending a lot more time in New York."

Wait. That's where I live. Oh, yay.

And, finally, after what seems like weeks of living in a barren, empty wasteland ? I bring you a refreshing drink of Brangelina gossip.

Life's never dull for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who are currently trying to legally block an erstwhile bodyguard of theirs from selling a tell-all book about the Brangey brood.

Mickey Brett (for this is the bodyguard's name) is a former UK soldier, who has been described by Brangelina's lawyer as, "a pathological liar". They needn't worry terribly, though, says an author who was working with Brett.

"Mickey was definitely going to consider a book or TV deal if the offer was good enough," she says. But, as it currently stands, "There's not going to be a book."

But the couple probably aren't breathing a sigh of relief just yet. There are a host of new rumours swirling around Hollywood about the demise of Brad and Jennifer Aniston. Yes, apparently the Brad-and-Jen revelations will never die.

Someone who claims to be a former friend of Angie's, but who fell out with the 'Tomb Raider', is alleging that Brad left Jen because she didn't want sex often enough, and that it was Angelina and not him who put out false stories about Brad's ditching Jen because she didn't want to have kids ? she was all set to have 'em, apparently.

Plus, the ex-Angie-friend also alleges that Brad conducted an 18-month, pre-divorce-from-Aniston affair with Jolie, which Jen knew and didn't care about.

All of this, I'm taking with a bag or two of salt. Ex-chums with a grudge are hardly the best sources, and the wanted-kids and didn't-interfere-in-the-affair claims don't even gel with each other. But, hey, who knows but Aniston and Brangelina? And perhaps a bodyguard or two...

More lusty libel — in next week's Bitch and Famous! And, if you want more gossip before then, just friend me on Facebook.
