Paris Hilton is outlaw of the year!

Mumbai: Justin Timerlake took the crown at the VH1 awards for being the big musician of year 2006. On the other hand, Paris Hilton got some much needed recognition - not for her vocals - but for being the big outlaw of the year, thanks to her drunk driving arrest.

This is what the hotel heiress had to say. "Wow! It's my second year in a row here. Well, I never thought I would be nominated in the same category as the Vice-President but, that is hot I guess and I never really thought of myself as an outlaw."

Like they say, any publicity is good publicity!

Having shaved the beard and the extra pounds from Syriana, George Clooney lost no time in charming the crowds at the Los Angeles premiere of his new project The Good German.

A heavy-duty film, it features Clooney as an American journalist who goes back to post-war Berlin to find his mistress, but gets lured into a murder mystery.

Starring Cate Blanchett as Clooney's elusive ladylove, The Good German is a film noir homage by director Steven Soderbergh. It opens in pan-American theatres on December 22.

From moving pictures to still images - British actor Orlando Bloom unveiled special artworks in Los Angeles done by some of Hollywood's most prominent celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron and Martin Scorsese.

Part of the donations collected have been made towards The Film Foundation, a non-profit organisation established by Scorsese and associates to promote film preservation and film education.

And Renee Zellweger unveiled a new herself. From binky Bridgette Jones to feisty author Beatrix Potter, Zellweger has done a complete volte face in terms of role-playing.

Her new movie, Miss Potter premiered in London on Monday and saw the cast working the crowds despite freezing weather conditions.

Directed by Chris Noonan, Miss Potter is a biopic of the British author Beatrix Potter and follows her success and first serious relationship with her publisher, played by Ewan McGregor. Miss Potter opens in the UK in January 2007.
