Megan Fox, who has been announced as the new face of Emporio Armani's fragrance Armani Code, has shot a sultry new television advert for the perfume.

The Jennifer's Body star, who had previously stripped to her underwear to advertise Emporio Armani's lingerie, has posed with a naked man while remaining relatively covered up in the latest advertising campaign.

In sizzling scenes, the 24-year-old -- sporting a sleek black bob -- cavorts with the hunky male model on a rooftop overlooking the Los Angeles cityscape at night, reports the Daily Mail.

At first, the man is wearing a tuxedo. As the city lights twinkle below, he soon strips off and Megan is also seen naked wrapped in a black sheet showing just her back to the camera.

Towards the end of the clip, Fox appears topless wearing just a pair of skin-tight white Armani Jeans as she seductively leans across the back of the sofa.

The full version of the telly ad will air in the next few weeks.

Hollywood film mogul Steven Spielberg is reportedly planning to make a film about WikiLeaks.

According to the UK's Guardian newspaper, the filmmaker has bought the rights to the story of the WikiLeaks saga, reports the Herald Sun.

The Guardian was one of the five original media outlets used by WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, to publicise the tranche of thousands of classified US documents relating to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and diplomatic cables.

A book based on the story of the covert leaks and controversial figurehead Assange, has been published by The Guardian, and the rights to the book have now been purchased by Spielberg.

DreamWorks, the studio founded by Spielberg and others in 1994, will reportedly make the movie.

A third Bridget Jones book has been announced by author Helen Fielding in London.

Rumours about the next Bridget Jones -- the much-loved antics of a hopelessly single 30-something woman living in London -- has been in overdrive for quite some time.

Finally, after 10 years since the last novel Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, Fielding has confirmed that she has started to write the sequel.

Fielding read the first three pages of the new diary to a rapt audience at swanky London hotspot, Shoreditch House yesterday.

The English novelist has confirmed that she's already in talks with film bosses.

'I will be working on both the book and the film but I don't know if they're the same thing yet. It's not been decided,' the Daily Telegraph quoted her as saying.

She also said that she loves the idea of visiting Bridget having a mid-30s baby crisis.

Actress Courteney Cox's bustier new look has sparked rumours that she has gone under the knife.

The former Friends star showed off her bikini body while filming scenes for Cougar Town in Hawaii. It looks like the green two-piece was either boasting some uplifting padding, or the star has taken more drastic measures to boost her bust, reports the Daily Mail.

Either way, her noticeably fuller curves were catching the attention of her hunky co-star, who was also showing off his toned figure.

The mother-of-one was frolicking poolside with her Cougar pal Josh Hopkins, who had also stripped off down to his swimming trunks.

Her on-set love interest gave Courtney a kiss as she lounged in the sun while her other co-star Brain Van Holt kept closeby too.

Courtney's rumoured love interest Van Holt, who plays her on-screen ex-husband Bobby Cobb, was spotted on the beach in his underwear.

In an interview, Robert Pattinson has opened up about his relationship with rumoured girlfriend Kristen Stewart.

Even though Pattinson has yet to publicly admit he's dating Stewart, he offered plenty of praise for his Twilight Saga co-star in Vanity Fair's April issue.

'She's cool,' the New York Daily News quoted Pattinson as saying. 'Even before I knew her, I thought she was a really good actress. Like, I saw Into the Wild, and I thought she was really good in that. I still think there are very few girls in her class that are as good as she is.'

But Pattinson was much less effusive when asked whether there are similarities between his off-screen and on-screen love lives.

'Are you asking me if I'm really a vampire?' he responded, reportedly laughing.

'Yes. Um. No, not really,' he continued. 'It's pretty hard. It's just very traumatic,' he added.
