Liz HurleyElizabeth Hurley seems to love all things Indian, besides, of course, her boyfriend Arun Nayar. She arrived at a charity event in New York clad in a sari.

The model-turned-actress wore a pink and green sari to the glitzy event, while her boyfriend, who hails from Mumbai, complemented her in a Nehru suit.

'Liz is known for flashing the flesh, but by wearing the sari she is sending a message that she is extremely committed to Arun,' an onlooker was quoted by the Mirror as saying.

'Perhaps she's just getting in some practice for her wedding,' he added.

Liz, who will wear a red Versace sari when she ties the knot with Nayar later this year, reportedly told friends: 'I love all the pomp and ceremony of Indian weddings.'

The glamorous couple were among stars who turned out for the annual Red Hot Pink Party, the yearly bash staged in New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Sean Penn's [Images] troubled marriage with Madonna [Images]

Madonna and Sean PennSean Penn insists that he wouldn't have stayed sane if he had remained married to Madonna.

'Had we stayed together, we'd have driven each other mad. But I was just as badly behaved as her,' Femalefirst quoted Penn as saying.

The Oscar winning actor got married to Madonna in 1985 and the couple was constantly under the media glare. 'I never liked being under the spotlight. Our marriage guaranteed that we lived in the public gaze, which meant that we had no real marriage at all. We didn't even have time to have a proper conversation. She was in the process of becoming the biggest star in the world. I just wanted to make my films and hide," he added.

Penn, however, credits his second wife, Robin Wright, for helping him patch up with Madonna and claims that they get along fine now.

'Telling my wife Keely and friends was torture,' he added.

Brosnan, who stared in four of the Bond movies was dropped from the fifth movie after reportedly demanding a massive pay hike.

Johansson was Allen's second choice after his original female lead Kate Winslet [Images] dropped out to spend more time with her two children.

'I'm very bullish about it and I'm usually not. I usually want to crawl into the ground after I make a film, almost invariably, but I'm very bullish about it because Scarlett Johansson is such a strong actress,' Allen was quoted by Contactmusic as saying.

Match Point is set to have its world premiere at the Cannes [Images] Film Festival in France [Images] next month.
