London:
Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie, who is reportedly dating
Brad Pitt, is having the tattoo of ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton's
name removed from her arm. According to Femalefirst, the screen
beauty has begun painful laser treatment to have the body
art, which features a Chinese dragon, removed from her left
arm so she can put her relationship with Thornton behind her.
Jolie is half-way through the treatment and was pictured at
a charity bash last week showing off the faded tattoo with
only the faintest outline of her ex's name visible. The 'Tomb
Raider' star whose marriage to Thornton ended in 2002,is famed
for her love of tattoos and has 11 in total, including a large
Asian tiger on her back, a large black cross on her left hip.
However, Angelina insists she will never make the mistake
of having a lover's name etched onto her body ever again.
"I'll never be stupid enough to have a man's name tattooed
on me again," she said.

London:
Singer and actress Hilary Duff is being touted as the
one to star in the remake of the the Stephen Spielberg produced
1982 hit horror flick "Poltergeist". If she gets the role
in the new movie named "Poltergeist: Kayerri", Duff will be
playing the part of Carol Anne Freeling, a role first played
by late child star, Heather O'Rouke, according to a report
in Femalefirst. Heather O'Rourke's famous line in the movie
,"they're here" was an instant hit with cinema-goers and sent
chills up people's spines. Actor Craig T Nelson, who plays
the role of Stephen Freeling, Carol Anne's father in the movie,
is said to have already signed up for the remake. The movie
will be the fourth in the series. The second and third sequels
failed to make too much impact on theatre audiences and movie
producers will be hoping that this time they hit the right
nerve.
'Ghostbusters'

Washington:
Harold Ramis, the man behind the first two "Ghostbusters"
movies has revealed that he is keen to begin filming the third
sequel, and that he wants "Meet the Parents" star Ben Stiller
to act in it. The writer-director who has made movies such
as "Bedazzled", "Multiplicity" and "Analyze This', revealed
that actor Dan Aykroyd had written the script for the third
sequel in which the three ghost-hunters are sent to hell via
a portal in a Brooklyn warehouse. He said that though Aykroyd
had initially thought of depicting hell as a place with phenomenal
visual effects and boiling pits, they had decided to instead
depict it as the ghostbusters' journey to a different New
York, so as to show hell as a parody of modern urban life
where people were were always misunderstanding each other.
"What Danny had originally conceived was sending us to a special-
effects hell - a netherworld full of phenomenal visual environments
and boiling pits.(instead) When we step out of the chamber,
it looks just like New York, but it's hell - everything's
gridlocked; no cars are moving and all the drivers are swearing
at each other in different foreign languages. No two people
speak the same language. It's all the worst things about modern
urban life, just magnified." Contactmusic quoted Ramis as
telling Infocus magazine.
Cho
Chang, Potter romance fizzes out off screen (Go

London:
Harry Potter's love interest Cho Chang, played by Katie
Leung, does not share the on-screen chemistry, off screen
with co-star Daniel Radcliffe. The 18-year-old Scottish actress
is the first to share an on- screen kiss with Harry,but even
though the young wizard falls deeply in love with her in the
multi-million-pound blockbuster, Katie says the magic disappeared
as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. "I would never go
for him in real life. He is too young for me and anyway I
don't have much time for boyfriends," she was quoted by the
Newsoftheworld, as saying. Katie, from Motherwell, will make
her acting debut in the film, the fourth in the series inspired
by JK Rowling's best-selling books. And despite not falling
for Daniel's charms, she is full of praise for the schoolboy
star. "I love Dan to bits. He is so down to earth it's unbelievable.
You would never think he plays the most famous boy in the
world. He never acts like he has such a big role and he was
brilliant to work with. He works really hard on set-he never
lets anyone down," she added.
DiCaprio
in search of love again
New
York: "Titanic" star Leonardo DiCaprio may be nursing
a broken heart after his recent break-up with longtime love,
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, but that still did not
stop him from returning to the singles scene at a recent Holloween
bash at L.A.'s Mondrian Hotel just weeks after the two called
it quits. But it seems the star is having a bit of a problem,
for when he showed up at the party dressed as an hunch-backed,
old man, his costume was so good that apparently a group of
pretty girls didn't even recognise the actor. "The girls didn't
know who was." New Yor post quoted a guest as saying. Then
there were the rumours that the "Aviator" star was seeing
actress Siena Miller but the british beauty seems to be back
in the arms of ex-fiance actor Jude Law. Leo's ex-girlfriend,
Gisele, who is in Sao Paulo for a fashion shoot in the meantime
is also denying rumours that she's already dating champion
surfer Kelly Slater.
