Keira Knightley will never sign up to popular websites like Twitter or Facebook because she is convinced the social networking forums are "dehumanizing" users.

She says, "I hate the internet. I find it dehumanizing to constantly check emails or social sites which have become so fashionable. I'm not a celebrity. I don't go home or out with friends saying, 'I'm a celebrity' and I don't ask to be treated like a queen. Mom and dad wouldn't like that."

Sienna Miller often fancies searching the internet for stories about herself.

The actress relies on good pal Keira Knightley, 24, to stop her.

'If there's that awful temptation to Google yourself, she'll phone up and go: "I'm thinking about Googling",' explains Sienna.

'I'll say: "I am too!" And we;ll talk each other out of it.;

"Desperate Housewives" actress Nicollette Sheridan tells TV Guide Magazine that killing off her character, Edie Britt, could have "devastating ramifications" for the show.

She tells the publication of her character's relationship with the show's creator Marc Cherry, "I think whoever Edie represented in Marc's life was somebody he didn't like. And he had a very difficult time distinguishing between fact and fiction."

Nicollette says, for her, "Desperate Housewives" started to change. "When the show started it was such a different beast. It was exciting and dangerous and funny and edgy and bizarre. It started feeling a little complacent, and that was very frustrating."

What's happening on "How I Met Your Mother?"

With Barney's love for Robin unfolding gradually (and more people learning about it), it's only a matter of time before Barney comes clean to Robin. But it seems that Barney is still not keen on completely stepping it up just yet. While Barney already marveled on how much he misses Robin when she's not around, thinks about her all the time, and imagines the two of them running towards each other in slow motion, his friendship with his best friend Ted (Robin's ex) remains his main concern, along with evading the risk of being rejected by the love of his life.

Kate Winslet says critical acclaim means nothing if her parents don't like her work.

The British actress - who is up for a Best Actress gong for her role in The Reader at Sunday's Academy Awards - insists the opinions of her mother and father are much more important to her than those of her Hollywood peers.

She says, "My dad's an actor and he's very opinionated and has specific tastes so it's not always that they've seen a film I've been in and they have lots of things to say or are extremely moved.

The document, circulating on the internet, names Kate Winslet as best actress for her role in The Reader.

The list, which features an authentic-looking letterhead, also claims British film Slumdog Millionaire will bag the best picture and best director prizes.

Oscar organisers, however, have insisted the list is a fraud and that votes which of the nominees have won are still being counted.

"You can't pull me away from my house as easily as you used to, because I've got a nine-month-old thing on me and it's heaven.

Um. If they had to divulge she hate too full meals then I would say there is a problem here.
