It seems Russell Brand may be more than just the quintessential funny man. The actor and comedian, 38, has been involved with British socialite Jemima Khan, and she is apparently quite happy with other, um, areas of their relationship. With Brand, Khan is "having a sexual awakening," a source tells People of the 40-year-old mother of two, whose ex is cricket champ-turned-politician Imran Khan. "She's having a lot of fun and she's loving their relationship." Brand, whose divorce from pop star Katy Perry was settled in February 2012, also seems smitten with his new love. "They're really into each other," the source adds.

Moribund industry makes song and dance about violent thriller billed as most anticipated movie in country's history
It claims to not only be the most anticipated film in the history of Pakistan, but to be based on true events. And, for once, the Hollywood-style hyperbole can be excused. The feature-length action thriller called Waar ("to strike" in Urdu) is eagerly awaited, despite being out of tune with the trend for movies packed with singing and dancing.
Waar is coming to cinemas in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi and even the restive frontier city of Peshawar later this year. The trailer was viewed more than 500,000 times in the first month when posted on YouTube in January, entering the website's top five videos.
Inspired by real events such as a Muslim extremist assault on a Pakistani police academy in 2009, the film follows a team of anti-terrorist police officers who, with time running out, try to stop a new attack.

He's a quiet one, and no mistake. We've all been watching Hugh Grant represent the little (A-list) guy, standing up to the behemoth of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, turning the tables on the hackers by secretly recording a journalist reveal his dodgy work-practices, and turning up in Parliament to demand the law protect ex-actors who just want to go about their simple business of playing golf and... stuff.
But Hugh Grant is today having the last laugh, with confirmation that he has become a father for the first time at 51. And the media only got wind of it a good month after the baby girl was born in a London hospital, to her Chinese mother, Tinglan Hong, with whom Grant had a fleeting relationship earlier in the year.
Last night his spokesman stated: "I can confirm that Hugh Grant is the delighted father of a baby girl. He and...

Farrow Contradicts Campbell's War Crimes Testimony
Mia Farrow has told Charles Taylor's war crimes trial Naomi Campbell knew the former Liberian leader had sent aides to hand her "a huge diamond" - contradicting the supermodel's testimony.
The British beauty took the witness box at The Hague in the Netherlands on Thursday to face claims she accepted blood diamonds - a term for jewels sold to finance conflicts - as a gift from Taylor after a dinner party in South Africa hosted by Nelson Mandela in 1997.
Campbell admitted she had been awoken in the night by men at her door, who then handed her a bag of "dirty-looking stones" but she was adamant she didn't know who had sent the gift.
She claimed it was not until breakfast the next morning that her then agent Carole White and Farrow told her they were probably sent by Taylor.
But in her testimony at The Hague on Monday, Farrow insisted it was Campbell who suggested the gems were from the Liberian leader, alleging the model was "quite excited" about the receiving the present.
The Rosemary's Baby star told the court: "The group that had assembled for the blue train festivities arrived at that dinner - Naomi Campbell, Quincy Jones and his partner, Imran Khan and his then wife Jemima Khan... I was seated with my children and I was seated and next to Imran Khan and Jemima Khan and I don't remember further than that.
"We slept at the presidential guest house. I think we all were (staying there). I believe so, all those that I named. My children stayed there with me.
"(The next morning) I remember that the children and I were having breakfast and it was at a long table and I was at the table, I think with Quincy Jones, and what I remember is Naomi Campbell joined us at the table but before she even sat down she recounted an event of that evening and she said that in the night she had been awakened, some men had knocked at the door and they had been sent by Charles Taylor and they had given her a huge diamond and she intended to give the diamond to Nelson Mandela's children's charities."
When quizzed if she ever saw the diamond herself, Farrow replied, "No, she did not (show me)."
Farrow also told the hearing that Nelson Mandela's partner, Graca Machel, had warned her not to be photographed with Taylor, as he should not have been at the event.
She added, "I was met by Mrs Graca Machel and I was very punctual but there was already people there - men. And I remember this, they (the men) moved towards the children and me, and Mrs Machel said, 'No, you dont want to be photographed with this man, this is the president of Liberia. He's not supposed to be here, or he should have left by now', something to that effect, and she moved the children and me to another area."
Taylor is accused of using blood diamonds to fund Sierra Leone's 1991-2002 civil war. He has pleaded not guilty to 11 charges.

Madonna isn't the only one who can move on quickly. It has been reported that Guy Ritchie is already making the most of his recently single-status--by taking up with millionaire heiress Jemima Khan.

Khan Receives Death Threats
Hugh Grant's former girlfriend Jemima Khan has received death threats after supporting a counter Islamist extremism organisation.
Khan - who converted to Islam before marrying cricket legend and political campaigner Imran Khan in 1995 - this week (begs21Apr08) pledged her allegiance to the The Quilliam Foundation, a group of reformed Muslim radicals who aim to combat extremism.
But the group has been the target of death-threats, intimidating calls and emails - and its patron Khan has been referred to by name, according to the group's co-director, Ed Husain.
He says, "All of this is designed to discredit us in the eyes of members of the Muslim community.
"The leaders of these movements are fearful of us because they know that members have been in touch with us and they want help in order to leave."...

Russell and Hawn Prove They're Still a Couple
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have laughed off reports of a split by baring all on holiday in Mexico. The couple were reportedly on the verge of breaking up in October after a series of rows, but now the same publication that broke that story, America's Globe, has printed pictures of what seems to be the couple back together again. The pair were spotted sunbathing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where they seemed to be happy to bare all for the paparazzi. In public view, Russell went completely naked, while Hawn bared her breasts as the couple laughed and joked - looking nothing like they are on the verge of a split. After the split report surfaced, Hawn's ex-husband Bill Hudson confirmed there had been a rift that exploded when Russell reportedly fell for a co-star on a film set in Canada. Hawn reportedly took off to India, where she spent time with Pakistani cricket superstar Imran Khan, fuelling rumors of an east-meets-west-romance. An eyewitness, who spotted the longtime couple kissing and cuddling on their patio, says, "They looked like a couple of honeymooners." The couple have reportedly bought a new home in Pacific Palisades, California, after spending the past two years supporting their son Wyatt's ice hockey career in Canada.

Goldie & Kurt Split?
Hollywood power couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have reportedly split after a 21-year romance. Friends have revealed the couple's relationship has "lost its zip" in recent years and Hawn has moved on to realize her dream of traveling the world. In recent years, the 59-year-old Buddhist actress has been spending more and more time in India, where she often meets up with Pakistani cricket legend Imran Khan - a friendship that has reportedly upset Russell. According to sources on the set of Russell's new movie Sky High, the actor isn't taking the split well. One tells America's Globe tabloid that the movie star has been surly on the set, arguing with cast mates Kelly Preston and Lynda Carter. The source tells the tabloid, "Kurt seemed totally out of control and, instead of letting up when he saw Kelly's reaction, he just kept going until she finally burst into tears."...
