The Buzz: Elizabeth Hurley loses sheep

The Oscar winning director has said his next two projects, 'Liberace' and 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' will be his last.

He told website studio360.org: "I just need to step out. When you reach the point where you're like, 'If I have to get into another van to do another scout, I'm just going to shoot myself,' it's time to let somebody else who's still excited about getting in the van get in the van. It's just time."

The director shot to fame with 'Sex, Lies and Videotape' in 1989, which is widely regarded as a milestone in independent cinema, and was awarded the prestigious Palm d'Or at the Cannes film festival.

Many of Steven's other works have been highly praised and well received by critics and fans alike, including 'Erin Brokovich', all three films in the 'Ocean's Eleven' series, 'Che' – a two part biopic of Che Guevara - and 'Traffic'; which won four Oscars, including Best Director.

Steven, 48, added during the interview he felt expected by people higher up in the movie industry to produce the same kind of films he had made in the past, and that he doesn't feel comfortable doing that, and wanted more artistic freedom.

 Ben Stiller promises Zoolander sequel will be better

Ben Stiller has promised the 'Zoolander' sequel will be "bigger and better" than the original.

The comic actor is set to reprise his role as clueless supermodel Derek Zoolander in a new movie and has promised fans of the first film won't be disappointed.

He said: "We're shooting the 'Zoolander' sequel at the moment. Derek's going to be back bigger and better than before - no catwalk is safe."

Ben recently revealed the sequel to the 2001 movie will be set in Europe 10 years after the original and will see his character and Owen Wilson's alter ego Hansel no longer relevant on the fashion scene.

He said: "Where it's at is we've completed the script, Justin Theroux and I, and handed it into the studio.

"Now the studio has the script and we're at that point where we're waiting to see what they want to do. It's ten years later and most of it is set in Europe.

"I don't want to give away too much, but it's basically Derek and Hansel ten years later - though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime. Their lives have changed and they're not really relevant anymore. It's a new world for them."

Will Ferrell will also return to the series as baddie Jacobim Mugatu.

 

Kate Winslet didn't feel creative after her Oscar win.

The British actress - who won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in 'Revolutionary Road' in 2009 - took her time before picking her forthcoming project 'Mildred Pierce' because she didn't feel productive but think she has put in a better performance for waiting.

She said: "I just waited until the dust had settled and I was ready to engage with - it sounds so w**ky - my creative side again. In the last few years I've allowed myself to acknowledge the fact that I do really need my job. I need that outlet.

"And so, not only did I feel good and ready, I felt good and ready to be destroyed by a role again."

Despite now returning to work, 35-year-old Kate - who split with husband Sam Mendes last year - believes she is happier than ever, something she is "surprised" at.

She told Vogue magazine: "I actually keep saying it out loud. Last night, I went out for a drink with two friends, and as we were talking I said, 'God, you know, I feel so good.' Not in a, 'Wow! I feel so good!' way, but just in that quiet centred way.

"I'm almost surprised by it. I feel well. I feel healthy. I feel clear. I feel centred."

 

Kanye West has reportedly been refused entry to Paris fashion week shows after appearing uninvited.

The 'Stonger' rapper – who has spoken many times of his aspiration to become a designer – is said to have encountered trouble when heading to exhibitions for fashion houses Alexander McQueen and Balmain.

Kanye reportedly appeared at Le Grand Hotel in the French capital with his entourage for the Balmain show only to be told he wasn't invited, leading him to head to "a separate part of the hotel, so people didn't see him," according to a source.

A representative for Balmain show organiser KCD told the New York Post newspaper: "Mr. West requested to attend and we let him know we would not be able to accommodate him.

"He chose to come to the door anyway and we kindly let him know we could not accommodate him."

The 33-year-old rapper then had problems getting into the Alexander McQueen show, run by the same company.

The representative added: "He did not make a request to attend, but he came uninvited."

Eventually he was let in through the side door "by venue management, not through the front door."

Kanye has, however, been welcome at many other events during the fashion week, including Valentino, Givenchy and Vivienne Westwood shows.

The source said: "Kanye has been a welcome guest at several events that KCD has managed over the years.

"Several designers chose to have smaller shows this season and therefore chose to not invite celebrities in order to accommodate press and buyers."
