He fumes, "The only reason people say anything about my smoking is because I'm an actor. I have a beer and I say, 'This is my day off. I'm not shooting today. I'm not working on a film.' I never come in drunk - there's too many people's hard work on the line. On my day off I might have a few beers."

Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham spent an incredible $45,000 to fly to France on Tuesday - just a day after an armed intruder broke into her English mansion. The singer - who is married to soccer ace David Beckham - chartered a private jet to an industrial estate near Cannes, in the south of France, taking her two sons, dad Tony and a group of friends with her. While there, Victoria bought some soft furnishings and a brochure, before flying to her family villa nearby and then back to London's Stansted Airport early last night. A source says, "Victoria's always had a canny eye for bargains but this was a bit of an expensive way to do the shopping. Luckily for her, there was a sale on, but even by her standards, this was a long and pricey way to go to buy some sofas."

Actress Sean Young claims she was forced out of her role in 1990 film Dick Tracy - after rebuffing the advances of leading man Warren Beatty. The Wall Street beauty, 44, was cast in the role of Beatty's love interest Tess Trueheart in the comic book adaptation, but was replaced by actress Glenne Headley after she turned Warren down.

Convicted perjurer Martha Stewart has received a pardon from People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA), just months after declaring her one of the world's worst dressed celebrities. The animal rights group was incensed when Stewart - who faces five months in prison followed by five months under home arrest following her trial earlier this year - wore what appeared to be a fur scarf when she appeared in court. In a recent interview with ABC News correspondent Barbara Walters, Stewart insisted, "That was faux fur. My daughter doesn't allow me to wear fur, Barbara. We don't wear fur. Maligned, maligned, maligned. Soft and cuddly, that's all it was." PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has now written to Stewart to apologize saying, "We're writing today to say we've taken you off the worst-dressed list and are advising our members that you, like your vegetarian daughter, believe that fur looks best on its original owner."
