JENNIFER GARNER had better watch her back - another actress has desires on her husband, BEN AFFLECK.
THE CRAFT star ROBIN TUNNEY, who plays the psychotic girlfriend of Affleck’s character in new film HOLLYWOODLAND, admits she fell for the movie star’s charms on the set of the movie.
She says, “He has a way of making you feel comfortable. Ben is captivating immediately; when he walks into a room your eyes go to him and it’s not because he’s famous.
“He’s tall and well spoken and so eloquent and when he tells a story he has such a way with words… You can’t take your eyes off of him.
“I’m not usually this nice and saccharine so I’m gonna stop.”

Movie star PATRICIA ARQUETTE wishes she could order the cameraman off set when she acts, because she finds the presence of the crew and their contraptions “scary”.
The TRUE ROMANCE actress admits acting on screen doesn’t come naturally to her.
She says, “I used to be so scared of the camera. It was this big, ominous presence.
“Sometimes I still get shy when I see it. Occasionally, actors say, ‘Can everyone on the set move out of my eyeline because it’s distracting.’ “Sometimes I feel that with the camera, ‘Can you get that camera out of the room too?’”

Legendary actor SIR SEAN CONNERY came close to trialling for top English soccer club Manchester United.
The Scots JAMES BOND star harboured ambitions to be a footballer from an early age and was acting with a travelling play, when one of the world’s biggest clubs expressed an interest.
The 75-year-old tells British film magazine Empire, “I was travelling with the play and in each town we played soccer.
“We were in Manchester for three months and Man United were interested.
“But, I discussed it with a guy who was in the play who said, ‘I thought you might want to be an actor. What happens if you go to soccer and you break a leg or you don’t make the team?’ That was the moment.”

Hollywood star SIR IAN McKELLEN battled with British comedian RICKY GERVAIS over the script for his appearance in THE OFFICE’s creator’s comedy EXTRAS.
McKellen plays himself in an episode of the forthcoming second series of the BBC show, which parodies celebrities and their diva-like behaviour.
Writing on his official site, McKellen says he found it difficult to follow the initial script and attempted to rewrite his lines, but has not admitted the final outcome of the scene.
He says, “There are many jokes in this episode of Extras, one of them being that Ian McKellen is gay and also that he is unsufferably pompous.
“That makes for tricky territory, particularly when the script has been written by two experts in irony, masters of the put-down, the snigger and the snub, Ricky Gervais and his partner (in, I’m pretty sure, the non-sexual sense) STEPHEN MERCHANT.” In the script, McKellen insists on being referred to as Sir Ian - despite the fact the LORD OF THE RINGS actor does not use the title professionally.
He explains, “I called Ricky Gervais to suggest the script had got me wrong, a little. I am one of those knights who prefers not to use the title professionally. Perhaps Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant had confused me with another acting ‘Sir’.
“On his mobile, Ricky Gervais was non-committal. You can judge the compromise we made when the episode is aired later this year.”

She says, “I took a chance. It worked. I’m not interested in that at the moment. I’m interested in how this is going to sound in thirty years’ time.”

British singer SOPHIE ELLIS BEXTOR is furious at being bombarded with offers for reality TV shows - because she is a serious musician. The pop singer is currently taking time out from her career to look after her baby SONNY - and she is not tempted by the money being offered.

British star LILY ALLEN is amused by CHERYL TWEEDY’s reaction to the chart-topper’s “tribute” to her beauty, because the track was meant to be ironic.
The B-side track, simply titled CHERYL TWEEDY, is supposedly a musing on how much Allen admires the GIRLS ALOUD singer, including the line, ‘I wish I looked like Cheryl Tweedy’.
Tweedy, thrilled with the acknowledgement, said at the time, “I’m really flattered that Lily’s written a track about me. I don’t know why she sings about wanting to be as pretty as me, as she looks stunning. I’d like to look like her.” But Allen thinks the LOVE MACHINE star’s gracious response is hilarious, because the song was a sarcastic joke.
She says, “I don’t want to look like Cheryl Tweedy! It’s tongue in cheek.
It’s meant to be ironic.
“I don’t have anything against her as a human being. It was a joke that not many people got. Of course nobody really wants to look like Cheryl, they just think they do.”

Rocker JON BON JOVI is still baffled by the success of his group’s signature tune, LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER, because he initially hated the track.
The rocker admits he fought to keep the track off BON JOVI’s hit album SLIPPERY WHEN WET and was astonished when record company executives insisted the group released it as a single.
He says, “I can’t tell you that from the moment we wrote Living On A Prayer that I thought it should even be included on the Slippery When Wet record.
“It’s probably the cornerstone of one of our greatest hits.
“I just thought it was OK. It was number one for I don’t know how many weeks and it was truly a staple of our career.”

“The change has been good. We’re doing as well as ever.”

A massive bidding war has broken out over the rights to HEATHER MILLS’ first TV interview since her split from SIR PAUL McCARTNEY.
British broadcaster BBC and commercial rival ITV are both flaunting their biggest interviewers in the hope of obtaining what could be the most sensational TV interview since MARTIN BASHIR interviewed DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES for the BBC in 1995.
In their attempts to woo the 38-year-old former model, ITV are in talks with two of the UK’s most experienced interviewers: inoffensive chat show host MICHAEL PARKINSON or legendary newscaster SIR TREVOR MACDONALD.
An ITV spokesman says, “We’re looking at Parkinson, but most probably Sir Trevor, because Heather has expressed admiration for his methods in the past.
It’s sure to be a massive ratings-puller.” The BBC are hoping key news anchor FIONA BRUCE will be enough to tempt Mills to reveal all the details of the couple’s four-year marriage on air.

PETE DOHERTY’s ongoing drug problems are putting a strain on his parents’ marriage - because his mother JACKIE refuses to switch off her mobile phone at night in case she receives a call from the troubled British rocker.
The strain of being the mother of the BABYSHAMBLES frontman has led Jackie and her husband, also called PETER, to sleep in separate rooms.
The 52-year-old says, “I feel I have to be contactable at all times. So there is no peace in the house.
“I won’t give up my son and I can’t give up my husband. If my husband chose to leave me that’s his decision.” The on/off boyfriend of supermodel KATE MOSS wasn’t always such a cause for concern however - during his childhood Pete was a choirboy and aspiring poet.
Jackie explains, “I remember being so proud of all my children, who were bright, upright citizens. They would never take drugs or break the law.
“We haven’t suffered as much as other families of junkies. He’s never stolen from us, never beaten us for money.”

Hip-hop star BUSTA RHYMES has finally spoken to cops about the unsolved murder of his bodyguard, after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a man at a New York City concert last night (11AUG06).
The rapper, real name TREVOR SMITH, was taken into custody at 8pm over allegations he and two members of his entourage assaulted ROBERTO LEBRON, who was attending the Heineken AmsterJam Festival on Randalls Island, the New York Daily News reports.
Smith, 34, spent a few hours in at the 13th Precinct police station in Manhattan, where officers took the opportunity to talk to the rapper about the 5 February (06) murder of ISRAEL RAMIREZ.
The father-of-three, 29, was fatally shot at a Brooklyn recording studio while Smith was shooting the video for his song TOUCH IT (REMIX). The murderer has still not been found.
A police source tell the Daily News, “I don’t know if this is normally something he would even be arrested for. But his bouncer was killed and he didn’t want to cooperate.
“This is our way of dealing with it.” New York Police Commissioner RAYMOND KELLY has publicly criticised Smith was failing to co-operate with the murder investigation, saying, “We believe Busta Rhymes may have been on the street when the shooting took place.”
