Michael Fassbender was photographed outside The Groucho Club last night with a non-famous blonde, not exactly his usual target. So... is it happening? On Photo Assumption I’ll say yes based on that sheepish look on his face that can’t be blamed entirely on drunkenness and, since we’re only photo assuming anyway, I’ll add that they probably don’t know each other very well, as this kind of awkwardness implies a lack of familiarity. Full Story

Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Mark Addy, and of course Sean Bean are all at the Monte Carlo Television Festival promoting Game of Thrones, my summer tv obsession. And, as I gather from your emails, many of you feel the same. It keeps getting better and better with every episode. Sunday’s was particularly sharp, I think the best so far. Full Story

The Ageless Michelle Yeoh in Venice for the premiere of Far North. And for those of you who quiver for it, there’s a taste of the Bean. Growing up watching Hong Kong cinema, I’ve been looking at this woman now for 20 years. She STILL looks the same - maybe even better. And she totally reinvented herself to stay relevant. Full Story

Yesterday the British papers were linking her with Sean Bean – thanks to many of you I’ve now learned that Sean Bean is a bad bad man. Bad as in good. Like rough and naughty and boozy and a lothario with multiple babies from multiple baby mommas but irresistible too which is why he goes through women hard and fast. Full Story

That’s the word coming out of the UK…because of course the two are filming together and Sienna’s skank is always attached to her co-stars. Apparently she can’t stop drunk calling him and invited him over for dinner recently and made him beef stew. Random! Anyway, Sienna is 25, Sean is 48. Full Story

Where’s the beans??? Hugh Grant yesterday, a day after attacking a pappy with a tupperware inside a ziplock bag full of beans. This if course was the same incident during which Hugh asked the photographer: “Do you know who I am? I’m a millionaire!” Can’t say it any better than one of my producers at eTalk, Laura, who made the following observation yesterday: “Not only is this comedy gold, but he"s a millionaire. Full Story

Hugh Grant is such a crusty bitch, it kills me. Hugh has been arrested, allegedly for assaulting a pappy. So he’s followed around by a photographer the other day, he’s not happy about it, when the pappy continues, he launches a container full of baked beans at the man before kicking him in the groin, all the while shouting: “Do you know who I am? I’m a millionaire! Leave me alone!” And then he told the man that he hoped his girlfriend and children die of “f&cking cancer”. Full Story

Source Beanpole, Estee Lauder, now Freixenet - here she is at the unveiling of the new tv ad she filmed with dancer Angel Corella the other day along with two stills from the commercial which I haven’t seen but if the latest one for Pleasures is any indication, I do hope the folks at Freixenet were astute enough NOT to ask her to speak because the haughty boredom in her voice is unmistakable, and although I’m a huge fan of her elitist snobbery, I’m quite sure I’m in the minority, and something tells me that the patented Paltrow “I’m too bloody good for this” drawl won’t be winning the affection of the MiniVan Majority which, naturally, makes me love her even more. Full Story

Hawking product enables my best friend to make loads of money without spending weeks at a time on a filmset. Enter Estee Lauder and enter Bean Pole, a Korean clothing label for which she just filmed her 2nd ad, teaming up again with actor Daniel Henney – half British, half Korean, not quite “my people”, but we Asians like to claim any flimsy association, especially when it looks as fine as this. Full Story
