Natalie Portman has revealed that she may run for office when she gets "too ugly" for Hollywood and decides to do something else. She stated that politics could be her thing if she ever stopped making movies, saying "It's not a bad idea. I'm not going to be getting parts in the next five to 10 years - I'll be over the hill. [Laughs.] Maybe I can go into politics once I'm too ugly for Hollywood." How could a face like this ever stop getting parts? And, excuse me for being idealistic, but doesn't talent make up for anything anymore? Plus, I thought that Natalie would be busy directing her films instead.

Jaime Pressly told style mag BlackBook that she was convinced she was related to Elvis Presley when she was a child, and that her grandfather jokingly told her that there was a feud between the two families that resulted in the spelling of her name being changed.

"When I was a little kid there was a lot of teasing going on about me being related to Elvis. I went to my granddad and asked him, 'Is it true? Are we related to Elvis?' And he said that years ago there was a family feud between the Presleys, and half the family changed the spelling. And I said, 'Really?' And he said, 'I don't know. What do you think? Whatever you believe is true is true.'"

Jaime Pressly then said that she talked to her Uncle Tommy, he even showed her photos of both Elvis's dad and her grandfather to compare. "I've never seen anything look so close in my life. Same sideways smile, same teeth, same eyes. And he said, 'See? It's not necessarily not the truth.'" Perhaps there are still some moments when you should just. stop. talking before your whole life story gets out. This would be one of those times. Stock picture by HookedOnHollywood

Scarlett Johansson has confessed to being distracted by male actor's costumes while she was on set for The Other Boleyn Girl. The Hollywood beauty admitted that she couldn't stop staring at their nether regions, and at the codpieces beneath! Scarlett joked that "At first I was so distracted; I had never worked on a film that had used codpieces and now in the modern productions I request them." For all of us out of the loop, a codpiece is, and I quote from Wiki, "a flap or pouch that attaches to the front of the crotch of men's trousers to provide a covering for the genitals." Think that sounds gross? Wait until you see an overweight royal rocking one circa the 16th century. Now that 's bad. I'm assuming Scarlett was referring to tastier male specimens than that, though.

Despite all the recent media claims that Dirt star Courteney Cox has been losing weight because of stress, the actress was all smiles as she departed her favourite sushi restaurant Nobu, in Malibu. I personally, think she looks the same as she did in her Friends days. There wasn't an episode where she didn't disappear when she turned sideways. Whats changed?

Mena Suvari often eats at the Newsroom on Robertson Blvd, so it's not surprising to find Los Angeles' celebrity photographers have twigged on to this, in their hunt for a daily money shot. As her pals pushed open the door, The 'American Beauty' star looked a little caught off guard when she found herself greeted by a swarm of cameras. Walking sexily in cream jeans, a white t-shirt and heels, Mena kept her head down, and politely replied 'thank you' when one of the photographers complimented the star on her hair. She then wasted no time in hurrying across the court yard, before entering the opposite building and disappearing into a lift.
