Mike Figgis on an unexpected encounter with Kate Moss, and Nicolas Roeg discusses his memoir-cum-history of British film-making
Gathers no Moss
Inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, director Mike Figgis filmed his latest digital work, Suspension of Disbelief, in Highgate, London. In fact, he tried to shoot in the poet's old home, only to find it had just been bought by Kate Moss. Undeterred, Figgis asked Moss if he could film in the house while it was undergoing refurbishment. "We tried to get in there but it didn't quite fit with her plans," Figgis told me. "It would have been too perfect, I suppose, but it's going to be a hell of a place when she's finished with it."
Figgis ended up shooting just two doors away, at the house of a music business executive. His film is a spry, experimental mix of narrative trickery and visual intelligence, a self-referential noir,...

Late actor's collection, including Van Gogh, Degas and Pissarro, goes under the hammer at Christie's in London
Elizabeth Taylor was a person of prodigious appetites, most famously for jewellery, fried chicken, and husbands. On Tuesday at Christie's in London, however, a less documented aspect of the star's taste will come into focus when 38 works from her art collection are auctioned.
The sale will begin with the three most significant works going under the hammer: Autoportrait by Edgar Degas, expected to fetch £350,000 to £450,000; Pissarro's Pommiers d'Eragny (£900,000 to £1.2m); and Van Gogh's Vue de l'Asile de la Chapelle de Saint-Rémy, whose estimate is £5m to £7m.
"It's the part of her life that nobody knew," said Giovanna Bertazzoni, head of impressionist and modern art at Christie's. "She had as an extraordinary a way of collecting pictures as much as she did jewellery. Take the Degas: one would think she'd go for a race course or ballet scene,...

The N, which soon will be rebranded TeenNick, has optioned the rights to "Catwalk," the sophomore book series from "The Cheetah Girls" author Deborah Gregory, for a potential TV series.
"Catwalk" revolves around four best friends at Manhattan's Fashion International High School who compete in a high-stakes designer competition.
Gregory, a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology and a former model, is set to co-write the pilot script with veteran writer Jacob Epstein ("Without a Trace").
Gregory also will executive produce alongside former Disney Channel development executive Norris Epstein, who brought the "Cheetah" book series to the cable channel.
At Disney Channel, the "Cheetah" franchise spawned hit TV movies starring Raven-Symone (on which Gregory was a writer-producer), a chart-topping soundtrack and video games.
The second book in the "Catwalk" series, "Catwalk: Strike a Pose," will be released Sept. 8.
Gregory's "Catwalk" deal with TeenNick was brokered by Wme and attorney Lisa Davis.
