Former Bond Girl Britt Ekland feels the current generation of female stars are very insecure.
	The 70-year-old, who starred in the 1974 Bond film "The Man with the Golden Gun", said that it's sad that these girls are so conscious about their looks, reported Daily Express.
	"When I was in Man With The Golden Gun I probably had a little bit of foundation and some lippie but you look at famous girls now... This whole idea of plumping and Botox and eyebrow-tattooing has gone overboard.
	"They must look at themselves in the morning without the two-inch-long eyelashes and fake tan and think, 'This is not good'," she said.

Veteran actress Judi Dench, who was most recently seen reprising the role of M in Bond movie "Skyfall", says she takes pills to help her remember scripts.
	The 78-year-old admits her memory is not as sharp as it used to be, so she relies on a supplement recommended to her by a university professor in order to help boost her recall skills, reported Contactmusic.
	"I don't know how I retain it. I take that wonderful thing called Eye Q every morning because the Master of Magdalen College Cambridge told me about it ages ago and he said, 'Oh you should take that for your memory, it's wonderful' and I've taken it ever since.
	"It is of course more difficult to remember, to retain something, but it's really a question of retaining the story," she said.
	Last year, Dench said she relied on her daughter Finty to read scripts to her because she is suffering from macular degeneration - an age-related condition which affects the retinas.
	"I can't read scripts anymore because of the trouble with .

Singer-actor Justin Timberlake is reportedly saying goodbye to William Rast, the clothing line he launched with best friend Trace Ayala for his album Target in 2005.
	According to sources, Timberlake is still involved in the brand but by the end of the year, he won't be anymore, reported Aceshowbiz.
	Rast is known for its premium jeans. It has released several collections during New York Fashion Weeks but allegedly hasn't had any show since 2010.

	A spokesman for the clothing line says, without denying Timberlake's exit, that the "Bad Teacher" actor is "eternally" connected to the brand because it's "a combination of Justin's grandfather's name and Justin's best friend's grandfather's name."
	Timberlake is currently promoting his comeback album "The 20/20 Experience" which is expected to have a sequel later this year.
	He has also teamed up with designer Tom Ford .

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow says a dramatic overhaul of her diet changed her as a person and also had an impact on her marriage to Chris Martin.
	The 40-year-old actress, who has children Apple, nine, and Moses, seven, with the Coldplay frontman, undertook a dramatic cleanse a few years ago which saw her cut out wheat, dairy, sugar and processed foods, and says altering her eating habits made her a better person, reported Us magazine.
	"You feel lighter and your emotions get smoother. Before, I had a lot of unexpressed anger. I made everyone else's feelings more important than my own. I'd suck it up and then be alone in my car yelling at traffic or fighting with hangers in my closet when they got stuck together," Paltrow said.
	"You're not learning anything unless you're having the difficult conversations. Dealing with things directly changed my relationships. Sometimes when you get clear about who you are, others get less comfortable because they liked who you were. It's changed my ...

The Supreme Court verdict on 1993 Mumbai blasts tomorrow will be keenly watched by Bollywood as fate of one of its superstars Sanjay Dutt, who was sentenced to six year jail term by a TADA court, will be decided.

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan dropped by the Santa Monica police for formal booking, one day after she was sentenced by judge for reckless driving and lying to police.
	She was booked for misdemeanor charges and had her mug shot taken, the 26-year-old's sixth mug shot since 2007. She was last snapped in NYC near the end of last year, when she allegedly assaulted a woman in a club, reported Aceshowbiz.

Rapper Kanye West has come up with a list of potential names for his baby with reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
	West sounded out his friends about the moniker last month while working in Paris during fashion week and the name which tops the list is North. The couple are expecting their first child together in July, reported Sun Online.

	Brand, 37, had a lavish wedding in India and the TV presenter split from the pop star in December 2011 after 14 months of marriage, reported Sun online.
	"That marriage was shaky from the get-go, before I'd even got off the elephant. It was a drag, man. Let me tell you a thing about marriage. Marriage is a bond that can last up to 14 months.
