Sienna Dumped Jude Three Months Ago

Actress Sienna Miller has rubbished reports she forgave former fiance Jude Law after his affair with nanny Daisy Wright, insisting she ended their relationship three months ago. British newspapers at the weekend claimed Law had ditched Miller after discovering her alleged affair with actor pal Daniel Craig. But the Alfie actress insists she ended the engagement immediately after finding out about Law's fling with the nanny in July. The 23-year-old star says, "I dumped Jude three months ago. I just could not forgive him for what he did to me. We managed to remain friends but he really hurt me." Rumors of a reconciliation between Miller and Law, 32, were prompted by the fact they were still living together in his London home. But the beauty maintains their co-habitation was just for convenience while she acted in her West End show. She adds, "I moved in with Jude and rented my own flat out. When things got difficult between us I had nowhere else to go. And I've been really busy acting in As You Like It and had no time to find another place. So we have still been living in the same house. It has been really difficult but we've managed to get through."
Theron Upset by Noisy Paparazzi As Mother Weds
Charlize Theron is upset with sky-high paparazzi who turned her mother Gerda's secret wedding ceremony into a noisy affair at the weekend. Theron was a bridesmaid at her mum's big day, which she also hosted with boyfriend Stuart Townsend in Pacific Palisades, California, on Sunday, but many snappers thought that was just a ruse for her own nuptials. Theron says, "A lot of crazy people showed up in helicopters and I understand that people might think we're trying to pull one over them or something like that. It's just amazing to me, though, that once they realized (I wasn't getting married) they wouldn't go away... That was kind of rude and wrong." Aside from the noise of buzzing helicopters, Theron enjoyed the special day: "It was really magical and beautiful and probably the most important day I've had in my 30 years of living."
Schwarzenegger Signs for Big Money Sequels?

Hollywood action man Arnold Schwarzenegger may be set to juggle his role as California Governor with a return to the big screen - he has reportedly agreed to star in two big money sequels. The actor-turned-politician has agreed to re-team with Oscar-winning director James Cameron in a fourth Terminator installment in addition to a sequel to True Lies, according to website Moviehole.net. Eliza Dushku, who is excited about reprising her role as Schwarzenegger's daughter in True Lies 2, says, "We all caught up. Me, Jamie Lee Curtis, Arnold, and Jim (James Cameron), to talk about True Lies 2, about a month ago in California. We're doing it. Definitely doing it. I'm revved." And John Rosengrant, who is a special effects expert at Stan Winston Studios, confirms work on Terminator 4 is at a very early stage: "It's too early to figure out what a new Terminator would look like, or anything like that. You see the script and what spark comes from that, (talk) with the director and see what the vision is. It does no good to dream it up unless you write a treatment and try to get out there and sell it yourself."
Prinze Jr.'s "Cracked Rib" Is Pain From Over-Eating
Freddie Prinze Jr. has stepped forward to sheepishly disclose that the pain he recently described as a "cracked rib" is actually just discomfort from eating too much Chinese food. Last week, the actor, married to his Scooby-Doo co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar, claimed he got out of bed in New York City with a mysteriously cracked rib. But he now admits that over-indulgence at one of his favorite restaurants is more likely the cause of his pain. He says, "(My rib) is not cracked. It's officially torn muscles between two ribs. I ate a lot and my stomach was a little upset and I went to bed and I woke up the next day and I felt like I broke a rib. (I ate) a lot of Chinese food. My favorite little place in New York is a place called Chun Lee and they have a lot of food and I ate all of it. It hurts really bad. They gave me Vicodin, but I can't take too much of that because I have to work. So they gave me these anti-inflammatories, but they make me throw up, which tears the muscle more, so it's not really that helpful."
Joel Attempted Suicide by Drinking Furniture Polish

Grammy award-winning singer Billy Joel tried to kill himself by drinking furniture polish, because he was so tormented by an affair with his drummer's wife. In new book Billy Joel: The Life And Times Of A Young Man, the rocker reveals keeping his affair with Elizabeth Small secret left him depressed and prepared to take his own life. The hitmaker was saved by the very man he was betraying when bandmate Jon Small rushed him to hospital. Joel was later transferred to a psychiatric ward. Lover Small notoriously inspired Joel's 1978 hit "She's Always A Woman" and the pair later married.
Zeta-Jones Corset Stunt Trickery
Catherine Zeta-Jones struggled to perform stunts for movie sequel The Legend Of Zorro, because her raunchy corset and petticoat ensemble proved highly restrictive. The Entrapment star loved filming the high energy sword scenes, but felt constantly thwarted by her period costume. She says, "It's crazy. You learn the routine in sweat pants and trainers and then they put a corset on you, three petticoats, a dress over the top and high boots - it's a whole different story. I used to have to pin up my petticoat so I wouldn't trip. Those costumes are really heavy, and the corset is tight - especially after lunch!"
Collette Regrets Losing Out to Zellweger

Australian actress Toni Collette is still bitter she lost out on starring roles in Bridget Jones's Diary and Chicago to Renee Zellweger, because she had been promised the parts by producers. Collette, who is currently starring alongside Cameron Diaz in In Her Shoes, was unable to play Bridget Jones because she was appearing in a Broadway play, and Zellweger's subsequent success in the role convinced the Weinstein brothers to cast her in Chicago - at Collette's expense. The 32-year-old tells The Scoop, "I was doing Wild Party. I was offered Bridget Jones's Diary at the time, but couldn't do it because I didn't know how long Wild Party was going to play. Then the Chicago lot said, 'We want you to do this, don't take anything else. We want to put you on tape just as a formality. Catherine Zeta-Jones is really excited to work with you.' Then Bridget Jones's Diary came out and I guess the Weinsteins had their way."
Richards Still Waiting for a Public Apology From Sheen
Denise Richards is still waiting for her husband Charlie Sheen to give her a formal public apology for his part in their marital woes. During an interview with comedian David Letterman last month, Sheen admitted that his separation from his wife was the result of his being a "gigantic a*s". But Richards, who filed for divorce from the actor earlier this year, is keen to shoot down the general perception that Sheen's statement was a public apology. She says, "Well, it wasn't an apology, per se. He just said he was a gigantic a*s. He didn't say, 'I apologize.' I'm still waiting for the public apology. Everyone keeps saying he apologized, but I don't recall an 'I'm sorry' in there." She adds, "It does seem like we're together, but right now we're focusing on the kids." In recent weeks, Sheen has disclosed that he and Richards are working on a reconciliation.
Foxx Messed Up 'Jerry Maguire' Audition
Jamie Foxx missed out on the chance to star alongside pal Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire because he acted like a fool at his audition. The Ray star, who later teamed up with Cruise in Collateral, admits he made a mess of his chance to play Cuba Gooding Jr.'s role - which won the actor an Oscar - in the hit sports film, because he was overawed by Cruise. Foxx tells Playboy magazine, "I blew it, man. Maybe I wasn't ready. Tom was just too famous, and I was too young. I was a stand-up comedian, and I just f**ked it up. I was reading all loud and stuff, and Tom was very quiet. So I read my lines, and then he paused for a long time... So I said, 'Tom, it's your line.' And he looked at me and said, 'I know. I got it.'" But Foxx insists the messed up audition wasn't all bad - Cruise remembered him. He adds, "The one good thing about meeting Tom was that I told great jokes that day when we had downtime. I had everybody laughing and stuff, and he remembered me."
Eminem Fuels Retirement Rumors
Eminem has further fueled speculation he is set to announce his retirement with the upcoming release of a greatest hits collection called Curtain Call. The rapper was forced to cancel the European leg of his Anger Management II world tour with 50 Cent when he was admitted to rehab to battle an addiction to sleeping tablets in August, prompting rumors Encore would be his last studio album. And the release of Curtain Call later this year is seen by many music industry insiders as a clear indication Eminem intends to focus on production work in the future. The 32-year-old says of the record, "I have some songs that a lot of people like. I have some songs that only I like. This album is obviously for the 'lot' of people."
