He also has full lips." Her publicist Stephen Huvane says, "They're thrilled. And they hope to have a name soon."

Sharon Stone is suing a plastic surgeon, accusing him of harming her career by falsely telling reporters she had visited him for a facelift. The Basic Instinct star, 46, was horrified when she read Dr Renato Calabria's testimony in American magazines In Touch Weekly and Us Weekly, and has filed a suit in Los Angeles superior court. The lawsuit states, "Stone has never undergone a facelift in order to improve her physical appearance. (She) prides herself not only on her acting ability and other talents, but also on her natural physical appearance." The actress claimed negative publicity about physical appearance "has a damaging impact on a film actress' professional reputation (and her) ability to obtain work in the film industry." In compensation, Stone is asking for general, special, actual and punitive damages and any profits Calabria received from the allegedly unauthorized use of her name, image and likeness.

Australian beauty Nicole Kidman has fuelled speculation she has had cosmetic knee surgery, after being snapped wearing bandages around her legs. Pictures in British tabloids Tuesday show the Cold Mountain star in a swimming costume, exposing band aids around her knees - which British surgeon Dr. Apostolos Gaitanis says suggests she has had liposculpture to remove fatty deposits, which are notoriously difficult to shift in later years. Gaitanis explains, "She is in her mid-thirties, an age when many women find that fat has started to collect on the inside and upper section of their knees. No matter how much they exercise or control their diet, these deposits stay put. It takes about 45 minutes and patients can go home immediately. For the next few days, patients wear plasters and support stockings to help the skin re-drape correctly."

George Michael has written a damning letter to a British magazine urging fans to ignore Sir Elton John's "cruel observations" about his life and music. "Faith" star Michael was devastated the Rocket Man made wild accusations about his "strange" behavior and branded his career "disappointing," so he penned an emotional letter to Heat magazine. In it he argues that, contrary to popular belief, Elton has hardly spoken to him in the last decade and knows very little about his private life. Michael writes, "Much as I am saddened to have to write this letter in full view of the general public, I feel I have no choice but to defend myself, (and my partner Kenny, in a way) from some of the comments that Elton made in Heat magazine a few weeks ago. In order that my fans do not take Elton's cruel 'observations' about my life too seriously, or worry about the 'strange place' I'm in these days, I think that it's time to set the record straight about my friendship with Sir Elton John and how he may have come to such negative conclusions of my life. Elton John knows very little about George Michael, and that's a fact. Contrary to the public's impression, we have spoken rarely in the last ten years and what would probably surprise most people is that we have never discussed my private life. Ever. So we have never been genuinely close, which is very sad. In other words he knows as much as most of my fans do."

Pop beauty Lindsay Lohan believes her romance with Wilmer Valderrama came to and end because it was "too much work". The screen stars went their separate ways in November after six months together and while Lohan has recently admitted that she was dumped by Valderrama, she does feel their relationship was far too difficult to have stayed in. She says, "It was too much work with a boyfriend - well, that relationship was... Being in a relationship should never be work. If there's work then you should get out of it." Lohan now plans to just "have fun" before getting into another relationship.

Lawyers representing troubled superstar Michael Jackson are trying to get child abuse charges against him dropped, on the grounds of "vindictive prosecution and outrageous government conduct".

They are angry about an unexpected search of Jackson's Neverland Ranch conducted earlier this month, during which DNA samples were taken from the singer.

Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin has announced he suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The Cooler star admits that over the years he's developed a huge fixation with cleaning things around his home. He says, "I'm very OCD, I find. I'm ashamed to say that. I come home and I'm like, 'Did somebody move that book?' I just notice everything. I'm very kind of observant. I'll have to catch a plane, like I'm in a hurry to go somewhere, and I'm in my kitchen rinsing out the glasses. I have a housekeeper that can do that and I'm sitting there cleaning the glass."

Teenage actor Daniel Radcliffe refuses to watch his movie debut in 2001's Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone because he's embarrassed by how immature he seems in it. The 15-year-old star - who plays the boy wizard - accidentally caught a glimpse of himself in the 2001 movie while changing TV channels, but immediately turned it off because he hated the sound of his voice. He explains, "I haven't seen the first one in a few years. I don't want to watch it. I won't go back while I'm doing the fourth one. Although having said that, I was flicking through the channels one day and I saw a bit of it on TV and I genuinely thought there was something wrong with the sound because my voice was too high and I seemed so young. I might watch it one day for fun - although I'm not sure how much fun it would be because I'm really self-critical."
