Light the candelabra, Liberace is coming to the big screen!
Over twenty years after his death, the life of entertainer Liberace will finally be told in a major motion picture with an A-list director and cast.
Steven Soderbergh, the Oscar-winning director...
Michael Douglas is the Glitter Man
In a twist of curious casting, Michael Douglas looks set to play the flamboyant pianist and entertainer Liberace in a biopic to be directed by Steven Soderbergh.
Hey, if you turn out to be miscast, Michael, just remember what Liberace once said: “When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank.”
Wise words, indeed.
Liberace spent more than 50 years performing and lived a colorful, ostrich-feathered life before his death in 1987 from an AIDS-related ill
Chelsy rebranded: Harry's girlfriend ditches the miniskirts and Red Bull as she prepares to meet the Queen
It will undoubtedly be the most intriguing Royal wedding of recent years.
But when Peter Phillips gets married this Saturday his beautiful bride Autumn Kelly will have to compete with another bewitching blonde for his family's attention – because, at his nuptials, Chelsy Davy will be formally introduced to the Queen for the first time.
And as Peter's bride makes history as the first Canadian to marry into the monarchy, Prince Harry's girlfriend will make her own entrée into the Royal inner circle
Mandela personally bans air-rage Naomi Campbell from the stage of his 90th birthday concert as he meets the Queen
Nelson Mandela intervened personally to ensure Naomi Campbell does not appear on stage at his 90th birthday concert.
He told organisers to take her off the line-up for Friday's Hyde Park charity event.
The former South African leader, who met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today, made his decision after Campbell, 38, was fined and sentenced to 200 hours' community service last week for assaulting two police officers on a BA flight at Heathrow in April.

Chef Gordon Ramsay Mocks The Queen's Food
TV chef Gordon Ramsay has criticized British Queen Elizabeth II's daily menu, branding it "prehistoric." The acid-tongued cook tasted the food at Buckingham Palace in London after picking up his OBE (Order of the British Empire) there in 2006 - and he was unimpressed by the royal culinary efforts.
He tells Jay Leno, "You never actually get to know who is cooking for the Queen - but I wouldn't employ him because the food was s--t. Unfortunately, you have to go through the ceremony with the canapes which ar
Video: Prince William appointed Knight of the Garter
Replete with distinctive ostrich-plumed cap and velvet robes, Prince William has been officially inaugurated into the world’s oldest order of chivalry after he was made a Knight of the Garter.
Watched by his girlfriend Kate Middleton, the Prince was formally appointed by the Queen in a ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
The Prince becomes a Royal Knight Companion - and the 1,000th knight in the register. The position reflects his position within the Royal family.

The Queen is seeking an audience with YouTube makers at Google!
British Queen Elizabeth II is all set to visit Internet search giant Google to meet the staff who created the Royal channel on the video-sharing website YouTube, which allows users to upload and share video clips.
The main purpose behind Her Majesty’s visit is said to be her decision to upgrade the Buckingham Palace website, so that it boasts more video footage and becomes more user friendly.
“During her reign the Queen has always kept up to date with the latest technology. The visit to Googl
Queen Elizabeth Tells Bodyguards To Drop The SUVs And Get Bikes
After picking up the world’s largest wind turbine back in May, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth is now introducing some local green changes to her Scottish residence. First order of business? Having her bodyguards do their patrolling of the grounds on bikes rather than in Range Rovers.
Apparently, the gas-guzzlers have seen extensive use on the property — and not just because the Scottish weather can chill your bones. Queen Elizabeth’s estate at Balmoral is also more than 50,000 acres larg

The arresting tale of Mary Stuart
After five books, including "The Other Boleyn Girl," which made her name - though not such a great movie - Philippa Gregory finishes up with the Tudors in "The Other Queen." The grand mistress of historical fiction is trading them in for the Plantagenets.
It makes a certain sense, then, that Gregory's treatment of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots is somewhat mournful, particularly given that she concentrates on her long house arrest under the orders of Queen Elizabeth I.
The exciting years of Mary's life,

The Queen tells Harry he's going to Afghanistan
IT WAS the Queen who told her grandson, Prince Harry, that he was to be deployed to Afghanistan and fulfil his ambition of serving in a war zone.
The young royal said his grandmother was a strong supporter of his desire to serve on the front line despite his position.
He said the monarch had been “relieved” when it was agreed he would finally be able to do the job he had trained to do.
Jodie Foster, Anne Hathaway to guest on 'The Simpsons'
The first time Maggie spoke, it was just one word (“Daddy”), and Elizabeth Taylor did the honors. This time, Maggie is saying a bunch of words, and another film icon has lent her pipes to the cause: Jodie Foster (pictured, left). In an episode of The Simpsons slated to air in early 2009, she voices an adult version of Maggie. (The episode, “Four Great Women & A Manicure,” reimagines the worlds of Macbeth, The Fountainhead, Citizen Kane, and Queen Elizabeth I, with Springfield residents in key roles.
Tourists to Britain more interested in Jamie Oliver than the Queen
The 'Naked Chef' Jamie Oliver has more tourist appeal than the Queen, according to new research.
A poll conducted by national tourism board, VisitBritain, revealed that visitors are not too fussed about posing for cheesy pictures outside Buckingham Palace.
German, Norwegian and French holidaymakers were particularly dismissive about a royal encounter, ranking Buckingham Palace only just above a full English breakfast on their must-do list.
Instead, they would rather hunt down our celebrity chefs, w
The Queen Gives Annie Leibovitz a Royal Smackdown
Queen Elizabeth II may seem like a prim, proper lady in her
royal finery, but don't get it twisted - Mama don't take no mess.
Cross her, and she'll cut you. On her visit to Washington, she
infamously took what's left of President George W. Bush's
masculinity after he made several heavily-reported gaffes; he looked
even more like a doddering child than usual in her presence. And
when celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz suggested that she
remove her crown during her historic photo shoot wi
Doctor Who: The Movie, Now With Added Catherine Zeta Jones
Let's play a game of News Gets Worse. We'll start - David Tennant is keen to make a Doctor Who movie in the next few years.
That's not terrible news - David Tennant will get to be in a film, it'll increase the international visibility of Doctor Who and it'd be a lovely gift for all the British fans who've stuck by Doctor Who through thick and thin. But now let's play News Gets Worse: outgoing Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies wants Catherine Zeta Jones to play the Doctor's assistant in the movie.

Steven Soderbergh Headed Back To Vegas For 'Oceans 14: The Liberace Project' [I Wish My Brother George Was Here]
In keeping with the current indie trend in which every 20th Century Gay of Note gets their own biopic (first came Capote, then Milk, and in the works are Taylor Hackford Tennessee Williams project, Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock, and James Franco channeling Alan Ginsberg in Howl), we can now add a little razmatazz to the mix, as Steven Soderbergh is developing a Liberace biography.
