Hugh Grant said most of his films leave him feeling "suicidal".

The 'Love Actually' actor told how when he has saw the first cuts of a number of his films - which include the hugely successful 'Bridget Jones's Diary' and 'Notting Hill'- he felt so bad about his performances he wanted to die.

He said: "Normally, when I see the first cut I'm suicidal. I want to go to that euthanasia clinic in Switzerland, Dignitas, and have myself put down."

25 July 2009 6:57 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Bridget Jones's Diary author Helen Fielding is single again after separating from her longtime partner, according to a new report.

The British writer has parted ways with The Simpsons scriptwriter Kevin Curran, her partner of 10 years and the father of her two children, reports the U.K.'s Daily Express newspaper.

Fielding, who is worth an estimated $30 million (£20 million), penned the chart-topping books Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason that spawned the hit films starring Renee Zellweger as the romantically challenged diary-keeper.

News of the split, confirmed on Friday, comes just two weeks after it was announced Zellweger had signed on to star in a third film in the Bridget Jones franchise.

Fielding is also said to be working on a musical stage production based on the hapless heroine. »

The trades are reporting that Working Title is developing a third installment of the Bridget Jones series.

The first film, Bridget Jones's Diary, opened in 2001 and followed Jones try and improve herself while looking for love in a year in which she keeps a personal diary. It also starred Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. The first sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, arrived in 2004 and once again starred Zellweger, Broadbent, Grant and Firth. The story picked up four weeks after the first film, with Jones already uncomfortable in her new relationship. »
