  • 12 years ago
It's a baby boom in Hollywood. Matthew McConaughey announced that he and his new wife Camila are expecting, again. The couple married last month after dating for several years. They already have two children together. Also expecting a new addition is actress Claire Danes and actor-husband Hugh Dancy. It will be the first child for the couple, who married in 2009.

Fans of Princess Diana got a glimpse of Naomi Watts as she takes on the role the revered royal. Watts, who is playing the late Princess of Wales for an upcoming biopic "Diana," was spotted in costume, in Croatia shooting parts of the movie. The film, likely to generate intense media interest in Britain and the United States where the late princess was hugely popular, will portray Diana during the final two years of her life.

Eric Sykes, one of Britain's best-loved comedians who forged a career in entertainment by writing for others, has died. In a career spanning over 50 years he was a regular collaborator on the popular 1950s radio comedy program "The Goon Show" and became a leading personality after starring in his own television series, "Sykes and a..." in the 1960s. His enduring success was all the more remarkable because he was almost totally deaf since his early 30s and blind from the early 1990s. He was 89.
