Liam Hemsworth has told how he unpeeled to get his first show biz break.
The Australian actor boyfriend of teen superstar Miley Cyrus shed his clothing for an Australian drama – and worked in a kinky banana-peeling routine, according to ninemsn.
The website cited photos that surfaced on JustJared which showed the sculptor’s dream of a bod that is Hemsworth.
The 19-year-old guest starred on the adult pay TV drama Satisfaction last year for the part of a 16-year-old who seduces a prostitute with a banana.
Hemsworth reportedly told Movieline: “Yeah, that show’s about upper-class prostitutes, and I was playing a 16-year-old who was pretending to be 19. Basically, he’s a really rich kid whose dad has gone away for the weekend, and I hire this prostitute. The banana was … [laughs] I mean, I come up and place it on her back and she thinks it’s something else. I was just talking about eating the banana, and she was thinking about another thing.”
He went on to note: “I was 18 at least when I shot it, and it was interesting, because I was butt-naked in front of a lot of people.”
Reality star Kendra Wilkinson says she wants to keep her new post baby ‘hourglass shape’.
The 24-year-old former Girls Next Door star gave birth to baby son Hank IV almost four months ago and says she isn’t planning to go back to her old size.
She said: “My plan is to not go back to my original size. I’m just working with the body I have now. And I want to keep the hips. I want to keep that hourglass shape. I think that’s so much sexier.”
Kendra’s hubby Hank Baskett told how he feels about her decision, saying: “When she put her bikini on, I was like, ‘Damn!’ It’s looking incredible… I don’t know how she got back like this quick, but that’s my baby, and all I can say is damn.”
An Australian conman who posed as Johnny Depp’s brother resurfaced as the “grandson of Alfred Hitchcock” in a scam that was intended to lure and seduce women.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports Brenton Jarrett, 38, of Victoria and now New South Wales, allegedly last year claimed to be Joshua Hitchcock, a grandson of the great director Alfred Hitchcock, wanting to launch a film financing house in Australia.
Police allege he launched a website titled Hitchcock Media International, and advertised on three internet casting sites for actresses for a remake of the sitcom Cheers in Melbourne. The scam allegedly roped in 60 women, two of whom allegedly had sex with Jarrett, police say.
In 1997, when he was arrested in relation to an assault on the driver of a limousine he hired as “Daniel Depp”, brother of the actor Johnny Depp, Jarrett and his driver had tried to get into a party in the hotel suite of basketballer Shaquille O’Neal, the newspaper reports.
No details of whether Jarrett was to be charged were made available in the report.

It seems to be falling apart… but for the sake of the children, they have decided to find some sort of solution. From now on Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow will be living in separate homes since they don’t have that much in common anymore and they fight constantly. They’re not going to get a divorce… that would be devastating for the kids. But instead they’re just going to rough it like this. There are even rumors that Chris Martin has cheated on Gwyneth Paltrow and now that he more or less has his own place, those rumors might just become a reality. Way to go at keeping a family happy!
Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher is teaming up with Disney for a new ‘chick’s guide to life’ website.
Hatcher, 45, who is best known for her role as Susan Meyer in the hit US show, sees a preview of the new site, GetHatched.com, start soon, with the full website set to open in the spring.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the website is being called ‘a chick’s guide to life’ and is being produced by DisneyFamily.com.
Emily Smith, VP at the Disney Online Mum and Family Portfolio, said the new website is a way to open up its Family.com portfolio to women as well as mothers.
Hatcher, who has a 12-year-old daughter Emerson, already blogs on female empowerment for Glamour UK, as well as Newsweek magazine and Modernmom.com.
She said: “I have a compelling passion to be a woman with other women. We’re the caregivers, the teachers, the lovers.”
She added: “I’m just open and talk about anything, usually with humour, because that’s what gets me through the day. I don’t self-edit.”
Hollywood actress Katherine Heigl has confirmed that she is leaving Grey’s Anatomy to spend more time with her daughter.
The 31-year-old star has played the role of Dr Izzie Stevens on the show since it began five years ago but said becoming a mum has changed her need to work.
Heigl and husband Josh Kelley adopted daughter Naleigh last year and has confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that she is not going back to the show after taking maternity leave.
She said: “I am done. We just finalised our agreement. Everyone had been working really hard to find an amicable and gracious way of letting go and moving on. It’s sad but it’s what I wanted.”
Heigl took three months off when she adopted her daughter but then went to the series creator, Shonda Rhimes, and asked to be let out of her contract.
She said: “I started a family and it changed everything for me. It changed my desire to work full-time.”
Hollywood actress Eva Longoria has said she and pals Victoria Beckham and Kate Beckinsale are ‘very, very boring people’.
The Desperate Housewives star, who recently celebrated her 35th birthday, is good friends with Beckham and Beckinsale, and they are often seen enjoying a night out together.
Longoria said: “We all three are not big drinkers. Kate, Vicky and I are very, very boring people.
“We love to stay in each other’s homes. We either go to Victoria’s house or my house and we kind of just stay in. We have dinner, we chat, we talk.”
Jesse James should be worried about Sandra Bullock’s vengeance – if her advice to Elin Woods is anything to go by.
Just two months before the Oscar-winner’s husband was accused of cheating on her, Bullock admitted she would have beaten Tiger Woods if she was his wife.
“If I was Elin Nordegren, man, I would have hit a lot more than she did. I would have kept hitting,” she said at January’s People’s Choice AWARDS.
Asked on the red carpet if she would have taken a golf club to the disgraced sports superstar, Bullock replied: “Yeah, she (Elin) stopped, she was respectable. I’d get the baseball bat, I’d get everything out.”
James has so far been accused of having affairs with four women, and Bullock has gone into hiding.
Woods’ infamous car crash outside his Florida home in November led to revelations he had affairs with at least 16 women.
Miley Cyrus’ Australian boyfriend Liam Hemsworth says he enjoyed taking her home to meet his family.
The young couple got together when they co-starred in the movie The Last Song.
Hemsworth and the Hannah Montana star took a break in Hemsworth’s home country last New Year.
“She came back at New Year’s – it is cool to show her where I am from and how I grew up. It is a different world to where she is from so it is cool.”
Asked if he had realised how big a star Cyrus was, he laughed and said: “Yeah, we had a few photographs out in front of my house for the week – it was interesting.”
