Johansson Mortified by Golden Globes Grope

Actress Scarlett Johansson was shocked and mortified when designer Isaac Mizrahi groped her breast while he was interviewing her before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in January. The Lost In Translation star has decided to speak out for the first time about the uncomfortable encounter, which had the designer examining the construction of her dress, while also feeling up her breasts. She says, "It was definitely in poor taste. I'd been prepping for two hours with hair and make-up and getting dressed. And the first interview I do, someone who I have never met before fondles me for his own satisfaction. Mostly I was thinking, 'Oh, my God, this is happening on live TV.'" The actress was wearing a clingy, cleavage-baring red Valentino gown and doesn't believe the designer was interested in the dynamics of the dress. She says, "Like he doesn't know how a dress works." Johansson insists she has no hard feelings when it comes to Mizrahi, saying, "I think he's a guy that's starting his TV career and he's making a bit of an exciting moment for himself. I can't be angry at him." Johansson won't have to worry about running into Mizrahi at Sunday night's Oscar ceremony, because she isn't attending this year. But the star says she won't rule out talking to the designer at future red carpet events, adding, "I can take care of myself. I'm from New York."

'Brokeback' Star Slammed by Former School

Brokeback Mountain actress Michelle Williams has been disowned by her former school because of her role in the controversial gay cowboy romance. Williams, who attended exclusive Santa Fe Christian School in San Diego, California, has been blasted by the school's headmaster as "offensive" for acting the long-suffering wife of a homosexual ranch hand, played by Heath Ledger. Jim Hopson has branded the Oscar nominee a poor role model, and hopes his education establishment won't be linked to the film's themes. He tells the San Diego Union Tribune, "We don't want to have anything to do with her in relation to that movie. Michelle doesn't represent the values of this institution. Brokeback Mountain basically promotes a lifestyle we don't promote."

'Kong' Dominates Empire Awards

Peter Jackson's Academy Award-shunned remake of King Kong is leading the nominations for Empire Magazine's 2006 film awards. The New Zealand-shot epic has been named in five categories including Best Film. Pride & Prejudice, Crash, and Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit, follow closely behind with four nominations each. The awards are the only film accolades to be voted for solely by the British public. Jackson, who is nominated for Best Director, will go head-to-head with Hollywood heavyweights Steven Spielberg (War Of The Worlds), Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice), Ron Howard (Cinderella Man), Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins) and Nick Park and Steve Box (Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit). Stars Matt Dillon, Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Andy Serkis and Viggo Mortensen are all vying for Best Actor, while Naomi Watts, Keira Knightley, Thandie Newton, Renee Zellweger and Hilary Swank have all been nominated as Best Actress. The ceremony will be held in the Hilton London Metropole on March 13, with British comedian Bill Bailey hosting.

Anna Nicole Smith Pulls Out of Premiere

Anna Nicole Smith pulled out of her own movie premiere in New York on Wednesday over security fears. The actress/model was shaken up by photographers and reporters, who crowded her when she arrived at the Supreme Court in Washington, DC on Tuesday and she feared a repeat at the launch of her new film. As a result, Smith was a no-show at the premiere for Illegal Aliens, which she stars in and helped fund. Director David Giancola explained, "On the Supreme Court steps she was so crushed by media, they were very intimidated." Meanwhile, the actress' mental state has been questioned again in America after she appeared for one TV interview to promote her new film wearing just her underwear - and slurring her answers.

Fonda Had Threesome?

Oscar-winning actress Jane Fonda reportedly videotaped a three-in-a-bed romp with her ex-husband Ted Turner and an unnamed brunette, according to an explosive new book. Author Allan MacDonell, former editor of Hustler magazine, alleges the tape shows Fonda wearing "artificial equipment" to "pleasure Turner while he services the brunette," in his book Prisoner Of X. Columnist for the New York Daily News Lloyd Grove says, "Turner asks the camera operator, 'Are you getting this?'" Three times married Fonda, 68, has previously claimed she was coerced into sexual activities with women by her third husband, film director Roger Vadim. Hustler publisher and longtime friend of Turner Larry Flynt, says, "I really don't have any comment on the so-called Ted Turner videotape. Ted Turner and I have been friends for 30 years. I knew Ted before CNN."

Lee Battled Brutal Pox

My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee was so ill during his brutal battle with chicken pox earlier this year he felt like he was going to die. The star began feeling under the weather during the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in January and subsequently came down with the infection. He explains, "I was shocked. I thought I was dying. It was pretty brutal. I had chicken pox in my mouth, in my throat. I couldn't eat for a couple of days." The actor didn't handle his illness well admitting, "I'm a total wuss." Production on the hit show was shut down for two weeks and the actor also ended up giving chicken pox to his two-year-old son, Pilot Inspektor. The star says, "I gave them to my son and it didn't even phase him. He was running around playing while I was floored." He adds jokingly, "But I'm here and I'm alive."

Three 6 Mafia Promise "Clean" Performance

Hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia have vowed that their performance of "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" during Sunday's Oscar ceremony will be suitable for a family audience. The songwriters have reworked the lyrics of their controversial Oscar-nominated song, which was performed in the film Hustle And Flow by Terrence Howard. Singer Jordan 'Juicy J' Houston says, "We took out all the cuss words, dotted some 'i's and crossed some 't's. It's going to be a clean show. You can let your kids watch it, and they don't have to wear ear muffs." The Memphis, Tennessee band will be the first hip-hop group to perform during the Oscar ceremony. Houston considers it bad luck to prepare a thank you speech before the ceremony saying, "I'm not gonna jinx myself. If I was to win, then I'll just deal with it when I get on that stage."

Love and Miller an Item?

Rocker Courtney Love and Oscar-nominated Capote director Bennett Miller have sparked rumors they are a couple after being spotted together at a recent Hollywood party. The pair - who were introduced by Capote star Catherine Keener - were "all over each other" at the event, reports gossip site PageSix.com. However, a representative for the film-maker has denied the relationship is anything but platonic, insisting, "They're not an item. They're just friends." Love was previously married to late Nirvana legend Kurt Cobain.

Hatcher: "I'll Feel Guilty Forever About Divorce"

Actress Teri Hatcher refused to settle for less than she deserved in her marriage and is wracked with guilt for breaking up her daughter Emerson's stable home life. The Desperate Housewives star split from her husband, actor Jon Tenney, when her daughter was five-years-old. She explains, "It wasn't so much that my marriage changed: I was aware of things I was settling for and thought what was there was enough. Ten years later, it just wasn't. I never wanted Emerson to have parents in different households, and I'll always feel guilty forever that she has to go back and forth. But her dad and I work really hard to make it as easy as possible for her, and I genuinely think she's OK."

Lil' Kim "Terrified" of Breast Leak

Jailed rap star Lil' Kim is reportedly terrified that her breast implants are leaking and is desperately seeking medical attention. The petite rapper - real name Kimberly Jones - was sentenced to serve a year and a day at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on perjury and conspiracy charges last year. A source tells the New York Daily News, "She's worried her boobs are leaking. She needs to have them serviced." Bureau Of Prisons spokeswoman Traci Billingsley refused to comment further on the matter saying, "An inmate's medical history is not public." Billingsley did confirm the detention centre had a doctor on staff adding, "If (the prison medical unit) can't handle it, they will contract out treatment."
