Congratulations red leather and relatives, you are officially noncheesy anymore. Berry-stained leather, as exhibited by the ravenous Rachel Weisz in Spain, is utterly appetizing. Of course, a lot depends on the accompaniments.

It's out in the UK later this year, so check out the trailer and let me know what you think — will you see it or skip it?

The story being told in Agora is so interesting, it would be a shame if the movie itself turns out to be lame, but so far I feel kind of lukewarm about the trailer. The film is set in Roman Egypt in the fourth century A.D. and stars Rachel Weisz as "astrologer-philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria, who fights to save the collected wisdom of the ancient world.

If you've read the book The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, you'll know that it's a heartwrenching, mysterious tale about family, death — and whatever comes after death. Peter Jackson's film adaptation has been a point of discussion ever since it was announced over two years ago, from the casting choices to the question of how to adapt a story like this, which regularly blurs the line between reality and the supernatural. Jackson's 1994 movie Heavenly Creatures does this very thing as well, which made him a good choice for this particular challenge.

There's nothing better than reveling in the sweet, Summer air wearing an array of flirty frocks and skirts. This week's celebs did just that donning a lot of color, prints, and amazing styling skills. I absolutely adored Lindsay's floral Dolce & Gabbana dress, and Ashley Green looked amazing in her Brian Reyes confection.

Rachel Weisz made her way through a tough London crowd wearing a roar-worthy animal-print minidress. Phew! She rocked the boyfriend blazer trend, but notice how hers is as long as her dress.

Big name stars continue to tread the boards in the West End, and yesterday saw the press night of A Streetcar Named Desire starring an impressive Rachel Weisz alongside Ruth Wilson and Elliot Cowan, as well as the cast change of Calendar Girls, featuring Jack Ryder, Jerry Hall, June Brown, Jill Halfpenny and Gemma Atkinson. Jude Law continued to get mobbed after his performance in Hamlet last night, with fans queueing from 4am to get tickets. The growing involvement of A-list actors in stage productions has encouraged younger audiences to theatres and increased press coverage too.

There is no denying that actors need a wide range of facial expressions to practice their crafts. Some celebrities have admitted to using the treatment (see parts one and two of my quizzes), while others are quite vocal about shunning the needle. The latest to give it the thumbs-down is actress Rachel Weisz, who was quoted in August's Harper's Bazaar UK:
It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen .

There has to be at least one Valentino gown at the Cannes Film Festival. Brunette beauty Rachel Weisz attended the Agora premiere in an emerald green chiffon gown. If you look closer, it's gradient, getting darker — and more dramatic — toward the bottom.
