Elizabeth  Hurley has reportedly declared she may leave Britain – because she is fed up with being called “Liz” by the media.

“None of my friends call me Liz. I don’t like it because it suggests a trust that doesn’t exist. Perhaps I will just get clean away – maybe to Switzerland. Also the country would be much better for the little one.”

Elizabeth Hurley adds, “I have three lives: actress, model, producer. Sometimes I’m aware that there’s a fourth life, which is somewhat neglected, which is living a bit.”

Despite a strict, Quaker upbringing, actress Amanda Peet has depicted some wildly offbeat and often risqué characters throughout her career. Amanda was born in New York, NY on January 11, 1972.

Peet’s best-remembered TV role was likely that of Lanette, one of Jerry’s especially demanding girlfriends-of-the-week on a 1997 episode of NBC’s monumentally popular sitcom “Seinfeld”.

Peet has had numerous movie roles over her career, and exhibited a tremendous amount of appeal in an underdeveloped supporting role in the romantic comedy “Something’s Gotta Give” (2003), playing the pert young girlfriend of an aging Lothario (Jack Nicholson) who against his will finds himself attracted to the free spirit’s tightly wound mother (Diane Keaton). She’s also been in Identity, The Whole Nine Yards, Changing Lanes, Melinda and Melinda, Syriana, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Ex, and most recently in The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

“I am a relationship person. Some people are comfortable being alone. They don’t panic. They see it as a bit of freedom and a time to be explorative,” says Peet. “Whatever the opposite of that is, I am.” – Peet quoted to People Magazine, April 21, 2005

“I think you have to fall in love a little bit with your costar. Many people have had amazing chemistry who despised each other, but that’s never been my way.” – Peet, quoted in Hollywood Life Magazine, November/December 2005

“One surprise of motherhood for me was how little control I have,” says Peet. “I thought it would be an extended, blissful romance with me at the helm, cuddling this little creature to life. It’s been bittersweet and humbling to let her lead, and to try not to be perfect myself.” – Peet quoted in Cookie Magazine, June/July 2008

Beautiful actress Naomi Watts was born in Britain. When she was just seven years old, Naomi lost her father Peter Watts who was a former sound engineer for the British band, Pink Floyd.

Naomi Watts’s acting breakthrough materialized when David Lynch cast her in the pilot of his ABC TV show “Mulholland Drive.”

The acting career of Naomi Watts went sky high when she played the love interest of the large ape in King Kong (2005). Naomi Watts also starred in The Ring Two (2005).

It is almost impossible to imagine that Brooke Burke was originally a tomboy who played football as a teenager. Brooke Burke has guided tours from the Australian outback to the Mayan Riviera, and from the endangered Bamboo forests of Bali to the hyperthyroid nightlife of the world’s most exotic party capitals.

“Forget all the bars and schmoozing and everybody checking out everybody else. My ideal date would be to park in a dark place, check out the stars, and have a great conversation. When all else fails, you can just make out. If I really wanted to get down and dirty with someone, it wouldn’t be at some chic five-star hotel it would be in the rough with a roaring fire burning outside a tent.”

After several TV spots and being a proud mother to her children, Brooke Burke is now the co-host of the hot ABC TC show “Dancing With The Stars. Brooke Burkes is taking the place of popular Samantha Harris.

“As an only child, you either become a loner or you learn to put yourself out there, which my parents encouraged.”

Kate Bosworth could no longer be denied true success after she landed the coveted part of Lois Lane in Superman Returns and had a well-publicized, relationship with Hollywood hearthrob Orlando Bloom.

Kate performed many of her own stunts in the movie Superman Returns, including a scene of a sinking boat, and another one on board a plane plummeting to earth.

“Everybody makes mistakes, including role models, so you should just learn and grow from it. Even the best role models do screw up and learn from their mistakes, and I think it is just completely unrealistic to say that role models are perfect. Personally, I think perfection is boring, and secondly, I just think that it’s okay to make mistakes.”

Kate Bosworth really has one blue eye and one hazel eye. They’re not contacts! This condition is known as heterochromia iridium.

“I cook very, very badly. So I normally order take-out unless someone whop does cook well comes by and utilizes my fantastic kitchen.”

Ripa grew up dazzled by the lights of New York City. Kelly and her sister began taking ballet and piano lessons at an early age. They visited Manhattan frequently to see live shows and explore the culture of the big city. The young girl dreamed of the day when she would live in — and make her mark on — the Big Apple.

While Ripa successfully navigated her career, marriage and motherhood, she couldn’t have been prepared for the changes that would occur in the new millennium.

“There’s no such thing as an uber-mom. I think children are like pancakes. You sort of ruin the first one, and you get better at it the second time around.”

Kelly gets paid $36,000 an episode for “Live with Regis and Kelly“, which she co-hosts with legend Regis Philbin.  Ripa is under a five year contract, ending in 2009.

When asked about her ankle tattoo, Kelly replied, “It signals to them that I may be freaky deaky.”

Kelly Ripa loves to watch reality television, including The Bachelor, The Apprentice, Wife Swap, and Survivor.

It’s a first for Matthew McConaughey and good news for his adoring fans. In Surfer Dude, he’s shirtless for the entire film.

McConaughey’s role in the movie — a comedy about a champion of the long board who resists selling out to corporate America — wasn’t a difficult one for the laid-back actor to play.

Matthew McConaughey, who is often photographed on the beach, seemed to enjoy playing a soul-searching surfer. And it’s only a matter of time before his newborn son follows in his bare-footed steps.

Q: Congratulations on your three-and-half month old son Levi. Have you taken him surfing yet?

A: Not yet but he’ll be getting salty soon. Levi travels with his mom [model Carmen Alves] and me already. I want to get him out into the world. He’s outdoors as much as he is indoors. That’s how I was raised in the country. I like the city but I also want some space. And my boy is going to be out in the middle of it.  Full Interview

In Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson achieved success with The Mummy Returns (2001), The Scorpion King (2002), a remake of Walking Tall (2004) and Disney’s The Game Plan (2007).
