Hollywood actress Sharon Stone is facing a $1 billion lawsuit from the victims of China's recent earthquake after she controversially blamed the natural disaster on "karma".
Stone provoked outrage with her comments at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year by linking the death of nearly 70,000 victims of the earthquake to China's treatment of the Tibetans.
Stone apologized for her lack of empathy towards the victims, but a New York lawyer, Ming Hai, is not satisfied.
He has rallied more than 1,000 survivors and victims' relatives to serve Stone with legal documents and in demanding a further apology.
"For the families who have lost their loved ones or lost limbs or suffered severe injuries, your statement and act has caused extreme emotional distress," the attorney said.
Following her remark, officials in China have threatened to ban the release of Stone's films in the country.
The actress was also dropped by French fashion house Christian Dior as the spokesmodel for its Chinese advertising campaigns.

Pamela Anderson was approached to be in 'The X-Files'. Gillian Anderson - who was eventually cast as paranormal FBI investigator Agent Scully in the hit US TV show - admits bosses approached former 'Baywatch' actress Pamela before they offered her the role.
She said: "Pamela was somebody who was more familiar to them in terms of what was on TV at the time. "They were looking for someone bustier, taller, leggier than me. They couldn't fathom how David and me could equal success.
At the beginning, nobody trusted that I could do anything. I had no body of work behind me at all, and, certainly Fox felt very strongly that I wasn't the right person for the job." Gillian also revealed since starring as Scully in the show and two spin-off movies, including the most recent - 'The X-Files: I Want to Believe' - she will forever be associated with that character.
She added: "I think it's difficult for people to think of me as anyone other than Scully. Even if they have seen me do an Irish accent in 'The Mighty Celt' or seen me doing 'Bleak House' on the BBC or whatever, people still have a hard time knowing exactly where I fit into the bigger scheme of film-making."

‘I’ve so enjoyed my time here. I just feel like it is time for me to go now. I’m not sad about it,’ she explained
Maysoon was one of the 9 housemates up for eviction this week. Those who voted for her will be able to claim back their money.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have reportedly not been bothered by the recent claims that Matthew had an affair earlier in the year.
Reports began circulating last week that the The Producers star cheated on Sarah with an unnamed 25 year old youth worker while Sarah was busy working on the big-screen adaptation of Sex and the City.
But a friend of the couple’s told OK that the rumours haven’t damaged their 11 year marriage: “[they] have never had a conventional marriage, but it totally works for the two of them.
“Sure they fight like every other couple, but they love each other and their little boy [five year old son James Wilkie].
“They are so private and hate all this silly gossip. At the end of the day the only opinion Sarah cares about is Matthew’s and vice versa.”
The pair were spotted taking a walk along a beach in the Hamptons this weekend and an onlooker reported: “They looked very happy and in love. They looked totally normal, like nothing was going on.”

They are Darnell Swallow, Kathreya Kasisopa, Maysoon Shaladi, Mohamed Mohamed, Rachel Rice, Rex Newmark and Stuart Pilkington.
The seven talked about the nominations in code on several occasions, trying to predict who would face the public vote and who they may have put forward themselves.
Stuart's title as head of house was also removed as a further punishment.
Australian-born Sara Folino is the only housemate to have received no nominations since she joined the Big Brother house.

Big Brother 9 contestant Rex Newmark has continued to be forthright about his fellow housemates' audition tapes.
After he and the other three contestants on the 'Heaven' side of the house - Stuart Pilkington, Mikey Hughes and Mohamed Mohamed - were shown the housemates' audition videos, Rex wasted no time in telling Dale Howard he came across poorly in his tape and accused Maysoon Shaladi of being a liar.
He reserved his harshest abuse for Rachel Rice, calling her "the most boring housemate ever" and saying he had no respect for the Welsh contestant.
Rachel attempted to put a brave face on Rex's attack, saying: "I'm not going to let anything get on top of me or upset me."
She added: "He hates me, he's always hated me. I'm a lot stronger than people think I am in here."
But Rex, 24, appeared not to have finished upsetting the house, telling Kathreya Kasisopa she "looked very big" on her tape.
Speaking in the nominations pod - in which the 'Heaven' housemates are permitted to discuss nominations - Rex said that Dale's audition tape was reason alone to put the trainee teacher up for eviction.
Luke Marsden also came under fire from the chef, with Rex commenting: "His personality is nowhere near as good, nowhere near as entertaining as when Rebecca [Shiner] was here."
And while talking to Maysoon and Sara Foladi in the garden, he told Maysoon she had appeared "slutty" in her video.
When she denied this, he retorted: "It doesn't matter what you did, it's how they portrayed you."
He then told Lisa [Appleton] that she looked like she had just got out of bed with the clothes she was wearing in her video and criticised Luke for being miserable.
Rex is one of nine housemates up for eviction this week, after seven broke rules about discussing nominations.
Dale and Luke will face the public vote on Friday having been nominated by their fellow housemates.
But seven other housemates - Stuart, Darnell Swallow, Rex, Mohamed, Rachel, Maysoon and Kathreya - also face eviction after breaking the rules regarding public discussion of nominations.

Australian actress Isabel Lucas is back at work after reportedly being involved in a car accident with her Transformers co-star Shia LaBeouf.
According to US media reports, Lucas was a passenger when LaBeouf allegedly crashed his vehicle into another car in the early hours of Sunday morning in Los Angeles.
He was later arrested on suspicion of drink driving and taken to hospital where he underwent hand surgery, according to police.
The reports said that LaBeouf's car flipped over after he made an illegal turn.
Lucas, who is dating Entourage star Adrian Grenier, was reportedly admitted to Cedars-Sinai hospital for minor head injuries and later released.

"I haven't spoken to her yet so I can't confirm anything," her publicist said.

Sabina Johanson is becoming headline news. Thousands of related news stories and blog posts are throwing tantrums about Sabina’s misdemeanor. Sabina Johansson is the famous girlfriend of Richie Randazzo and she is a model. Richie Randazzo is a doorman who works at Park Avenue. Richie Randazzo won the $5 million lottery. Richie Randazzo is afraind that he is going to loose his job after his employers felt he was rich enough to be on his own and his millions than being the doorman anymore at their company. He wants to maintain his doorman job as it brings him $40,000 per annum. However, he has also been absent from work when he should be working. Richie Randazzo spends his time with Sabina Johansson instead. He claimed that his bosses want to fire him because they are jealous of his wealth.
Sabina is sporting the tag “a sexy model girlfriend of Park Avenue’s millionaire doorman once worked as a “greeter” at a brothel”. Sabina has said that she never knew about the raunchy goings-on there at the brothel and also has insisted that Richie and his bosses have their own troubles to sort out. “I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes,” said Sabina Mari Johansson, who worked at Big Daddy Lou’s Hot Lap Dance Club on West 38th Street just weeks before it was raided last week. “I learned about it when it hit the papers. I knew it was a topless strip club. I had no idea they were doing prostitution.” Sabina is currently being named the mother at the brothel making her tad bad. Johansson, 23, said she worked at the club for six months, greeting customers and helping dancers. She left several weeks before its owner, Lou Posner, and his wife, Betty, were busted for allegedly promoting prostitution, money laundering and falsifying business records.
She has made it clear that she was not involved in prostitution and didn’t strip or serve drinks either. “I do fashion,” Johansson said. “I do fitness. I do bikinis. I don’t do nude.”
Lately, she has been spending time with Richie Randazzo, the $5 million, rags-to-riches doorman who was smitten when he saw her modeling for a photo shoot in Coney Island.
“He’s a sweetheart,” Johansson cooed. “He’s sincere. He’s a gentleman.”

Big Brother 9 contestant Rex Newmark has called fellow competitor Rachel Rice "the most boring housemate ever".
After the four housemates on the 'Heaven' side - Rex, Head of House Stuart Pilkington, Mikey Hughes and Mohamed Mohamed - were gathered in the diary room, they were provided with pizza, chocolate and alcohol before being shown fellow housemates' audition tapes.
And after discussing the "lies" in Maysoon Shaladi's video and labelling Dale Howard a "k**b", the group laid into Welsh housemate Rachel.
Her tape showed her saying she was "happy and enthusiastic" - to which Stuart retorted: "That is nothing like Rachel" - before Rex claimed to feel sorry for Rachel's in-house friend Kathreya Kasisopa over Rachel's apparent two-faced behaviour.
Rather than keeping their viewing experience to themselves, the four then decided to gather the entire house together to tell them their thoughts on the videos.
They told Dale of how he came across badly in saying he would do anything for £100,000 while Maysoon was told she was the biggest liar in the house.
But it was Rachel, a trainee teacher, who received the brunt of the abuse from the group.
Rex told Rachel that she had come across on the video as sexy, through standing up and telling the camera she is a curvy girl, but was not confident in the house.
He labelled her "the most boring housemate ever" and added: "I'd swap you for scrabble."
And in the garden later that night, he asked her: "Do you know why I have no respect for you?
"It's because you're trying to tell us that we're lying to you.
"The honest thing for you to have done was to say, you know, I did it to get through my auditions".
When Rachel argued that the person on the tape is a true representation of her character, Rex again called her a liar.
Speaking in the diary room after Rex's tirade, Rachel commented: "You try and be strong."
She went on: "My VT is me. There are parts of me that aren't obviously shown in my VT, which is what people are seeing in here.
"The worst part of all of it is that people think I'm a fraud".

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline Finally Agree…On Custody
sábado, 26 de julio de 2008 | Etiquetas: Britney Spears
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are finally doing their best in order for their children to get to see both of them. The ex-couple has finally reached a child custody settlement.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s custody settlement was signed Friday. This means that their custody battle has finally ended.
According to the deal agreed by Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon on Friday, the pop singer will raise her child support payments to Kevin Federline, having to pay $20,000 a month. Spears also has to pay for her ex-husband’s lawyer, a bill of about $250,000. The child support increase went into effect on July 15.
The deal made last weeks says that Kevin Federline has sole custody of Preston, 2 ½, and Jayden, 1 ½. Britney Spears can get to see her children two times a week and she can also spend one night on a week with them. The new deal will allow the singer to spend another night a week by the year’s end, in the case that things keep getting better.
“She’s thrilled. To have more time with her kids has been her motivation to get well. In light of her outstanding conservatorship, she couldn't have asked for anything more,” Britney Spears’ attorney Laura Wasser told People magazine.
Apparently Kevin Federline is also glad that they reached a settlement.
“This has been a long ordeal [for Kevin] and for it to be over makes him very happy,” his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said.
The pop star lost custody of her children in October last year, after she didn’t show up at a random drug testing. In addition to that, Spears lost her rights of visiting Preston and Jayden, making Kevin Federline receive full custody of the two children.
Even if the singer has had many downs this year, it seems that things are getting better for her and she has started to solve the problems in her life. The most important thing is the fact that the children will finally get some time with both their parents.

Lindsay Lohan: 'Samantha Ronson is Not Single'
viernes, 25 de julio de 2008 | Etiquetas: Lindsay Lohan
Could Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson be about to confirm what the world already knows: that they are, in fact, dating?
The gal pals were partying last night at the Shrine nightclub at MGM Foxwoods, and when it was time for DJ Sam to step up to the stage, the 'Mean Girls' star took over the announcing duties and shared a lot more than fans were expecting.
"When the lights came out, she announced Sam and said, 'And no she's not single!'" an eyewitness tells OK! magazine, adding that Ronson couldn't help but let her gooey emotions show in her set either.
Sam -- the sister of super-producer Mark Ronson -- played several smoochy songs, and lingered on Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" for much longer than other records.
Earlier that day, the nearly inseparable duo were "holding hands, acting all lovey-dovey around the MGM Grand," the source adds.
Meanwhile, Lindsay is reportedly set to throw a party for her friends and family to thank them for supporting her relationship with Samantha. She has, however, banned her dad, Michael, from attending in case he causes a scene -- because he thinks Lindsay is just going through a "phase".
"Michael thinks Lindsay is just going through another phase and that she will end up getting hurt. He thinks it is embarrassing," a source said.
Lindsay -- who spent time in rehab last year to be treated for alcoholism and drug addiction -- recently spoke about her relationship with Samantha.
The actress said, "I just want to live a happy, healthy year, continue on the path that I've been on and be with the person that I care about, and my family."

Halle Berry says a paparazzi photographer went too far to get a shot of the actress holding her infant daughter, trespassing onto her private property and snapping them hanging out in the backyard.
The Oscar-winning actress was upset when pictures of her holding four-month-old Nahla Ariela Aubry showed up on the Internet and in two celebrity magazines. In a statement, Berry disputes the notion that the photos were taken when she was "out and about in Los Angeles."
Evan Spiegel, an attorney representing Berry, said a criminal complaint has been filed and an investigation is under way. He said there are witnesses who saw the photographers in the middle of a "very blatant and invasive trespass."
A person who answered the phone Friday at Fame Pictures, the agency that distributed the photos, said he had no immediate comment.
Besides pursuing criminal charges against the photographer, Berry is seeking to get the photos removed from the Web. In her statement to The Associated Press, Berry said she will never sell pictures of her children.
"I have long since come to terms with the fact that choosing a career as an actress has made me a public figure, but my baby has made no such choice, and unless and until she does, I will do everything I can ... to keep her out of the public eye," the statement read.
The photos, some of which have blurred leaves in the foreground, show Berry holding her daughter, standing near a table in what appears to be a private backyard. Berry's mother is also in some of the pictures.
Berry said she wants anyone who used the photos to know they were illegally obtained.
In Touch Weekly and Life & Style Weekly both published the photos in editions that landed on newsstands this week.
"In Touch Weekly and Life & Style Weekly licensed the photograph of Halle Berry and her baby from an established photo agency. The magazines are not aware that there was anything improper in the taking of this image," a spokesperson for the magazines' publisher, Bauer Publications, wrote in an e-mail.
Berry gave birth to Nahla, her first child, in March. Nahla's father, model Gabriel Aubry, was not seen in the photos.

Jessica Hardy's first trip to the Olympics could be over before it began. The swimmer tested positive for a banned substance, leaving her just two weeks to pursue any appeals before the Beijing Games begin.
Hardy's "A" sample from the recent U.S. Olympic trials tested positive, a person familiar with the test results told The Associated Press on Wednesday night. The person, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said the banned substance was a stimulant but did not provide any other details.
USA Swimming spokeswoman Jamie Olson declined to comment from the team's training camp at Palo Alto, Calif., where Hardy left to return to her family's home in Southern California, the swimmer's agent said.
Agent Evan Morgenstein told the AP that during a brief phone conversation with Hardy, she told him, "I never did anything wrong. I never cheated."
Morgenstein said he heard there were conflicting results from Hardy's tests, though he didn't have any details.
"I'm very, very concerned about the confusion of her test coming up positive-negative-positive," Morgenstein said. "She's the one person I would never believe would do anything — anything — to cheat. Ever."
Swimming World magazine's Web site first reported the positive doping test. The Web site nbcolympics.com reported Hardy's backup "B" sample also tested positive.
If she chooses, the 21-year-old swimmer can pursue appeals with both the American Arbitration Association and the Court of Arbitration for Sport. With just two weeks to spare, Hardy could appeal directly to CAS, whose ruling would be final and binding.
Typically, a first-time doping offense results in a 2-year ban.
Hardy earned spots on her first Olympic team in her best event, the 100-meter breaststroke, and the 50 freestyle and 400 free relay.
"I don't think if you had told me a month ago that I would make it in all three of these events that I would have believed you," she said at the trials. "I'm expecting good things for sure."
In Beijing, Hardy was expected to be a medal threat in the 100 breast, and to play an important part on the 400 free relay, and possibly the 400 medley relay.
Mark Schubert, head coach and general manager of the U.S. team, and Dave Salo, Hardy's personal coach at Southern California, did not return phone messages left by the AP.
The U.S. squad departs Friday for a pre-Olympic training camp in Singapore.
Hardy's name was among the 596 athletes officially entered into the Beijing Games on Wednesday by the U.S. Olympic Committee. If Hardy appeals and loses, the U.S. could not add to its swimming roster because the deadline to do so was July 21.
That might leave 41-year-old Dara Torres in the 50 free and Megan Jendrick in the 100 breast as the sole American entrants in those events. It was not immediately clear if the U.S. could move a second swimmer already on the team into those events.
Hardy burst onto the international scene at the 2005 world championships in Montreal, where she broke the world record in the 100 breast. Her time of 1 minute, 6.20 seconds still stands as the American record.
She swam at California for two seasons, winning the 100 breast at the 2006 and 2007 NCAA championships before turning pro.

Actress didn't realise she was expecting co-star's baby.
Tina O’Brien says she was worried when she found out she was pregnant because she’d been drinking alcohol.
The former Coronation Street actress discovered she was expecting her co-star Ryan Thomas’ baby in April.
But she says it was completely unplanned.

‘But suddenly I was like, “God, I have to make sure it’s okay.” I’d even been drinking loads before!’
Despite their initial shock, Ryan, 24, says it was meant to be.
‘When we first found out, we did think, are we ready?’ he tells OK!
‘But all I know is I want to be with Tina for the rest of my life and Tina hopefully wants to be with me for the rest of her life and we definitely want to have a baby together.’
Tina, 24, is due to give birth early next year. She has been dating Ryan for 5 years.

Kim Kardashian may be making her way into yet another reality show in the near future. This time, the star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians will reportedly appear on ABC's Dancing with the Stars.
Word on the street is that the 27-year-old reality starlet has been talking with the producers over at Dancing with the Stars, consequently making her the latest celebrity to join the cast of the Primetime Emmy Award-nominated program that pairs celebrities with professional ballroom dancers for its seventh season, which is set to air this fall.
According to the New York Daily News, speculations began circulating as Helio Castroneves, Brazilian race car driver and fifth season winner of Dancing with the Stars, was overheard backstage at the ESPY Awards telling people how Kim Kardashian will be one of the new contestants on the ABC reality show next season.
Although Castroneves may have spilled the beans, there is no confirmation yet coming from the network, as well as from the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, who remains tightlipped about the casting news. Moreover, fans will have to wait for the official Dancing with the Stars season 7 lineup, which won't be revealed until mid-August.
Meanwhile, fans can still catch Kim Kardashian on her reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, just in case she doesn't end up flaunting her dance moves on the ABC show. As reported previously, the E! series has been picked up for a third season, which is expected to start airing anytime in the first quarter of 2009.
Created by American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, Keeping Up with the Kardashians follows the daily lives of the Kardashian/Jenner family. The show premiered on E! on October 14, 2007, and has since been the highest-rated series on Sunday nights among women 18 to 34.

John Leslie will face no further action over a rape allegation made last month, police have confirmed.
The former Blue Peter was questioned in connection with an allegation of rape and sexual assault in 1995.
In a statement to journalists in London after his arrest in June this year, he said the fresh claims were "totally untrue" and accused the claimant – who is granted anonymity – of "dragging my name through the mud".
And the Metropolitan police has now confirmed the charges have been dropped following advice from the Crown Prosecution Service.
"Yet again, after a complete and thorough investigation, it has been confirmed that there is no truth or substance to the damaging allegations that were made against our client last month," said a statement released by Mr Leslie's law firm on his behalf.
"He is of course delighted. The complaint was ridiculous, but yet again and for a second time his name has been dragged through the mud before the law has had a chance to confirm his innocence.
"The law confers a blanket of anonymity on complainants but the accused enjoys no such protection.
"Instead his reputation, his character, his career and his family are regarded as fair game by the media."
The statement added: "There is little justice and no fairness in what our client and his family have been put through."
The Sun newspaper had reported that the alleged 1995 attack took place at a party at Mr Leslie's London home.
The involvement of Edinburgh-born Mr Leslie in connection with the alleged rape of TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson was implied on a Five talkshow after the publication of her autobiography - though she herself had not named him - while he later faced charges of attacking a different woman twice between May 25th and May 28th in 1997.

Three housemates have been nominated for eviction from the 'Big Brother' house this week.
Either Darnell, Mohamed or Rebecca will be leaving on Friday night.
Darnell received the most nominations from his fellow housemates, six, with Mohamed and Rebecca each receiving five.
Dale was immune from eviction as the head of the 'Big Brother' house.
He said that Mohamed was "greedy" and "lazy" and said his relationship with Darnell was "deteriorating fast".
Sara was also critical of Mohamed's appetite: "He's a nice guy but he's so greedy, eyeing up all the plates, looking for the one with the most."
On hearing that he had been nominated, Mohamed punched the air and cheered.
Rebecca said: "I knew it was going to be three people and it was exactly as I predicted."

Daisy Lowe embraced the superhero spirit for last night's London premiere of the Dark Knight.
The supermodel looked like she could have played Batman's kinky younger sister as she hit the red carpet in a shiny black mini dress and patent leather ankle boots.
The babydoll dress had grungy ruffle detail around the nickline and was completely backless apart from a few tattered ties giving Daisy a sexy gothic look.
Backless was the theme of the night as star of the film Maggie Gyllenhaal showed up in a jaw dropping deep plunging black satin catsuit that left little to the imagination.
Alexa Chung on the other hand played it safe in a cropped tuxedo jacket, mini pencil skirt and chunky heels- brave move when you arrive with your super sexed-up supermodel friend!

It seems that Britney Spears is doing good and looking good. The singer has made her appearance Saturday, at Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey's fundraiser for Generation Rescue and she shocked everybody, but in a good way.
Britney Spears “looked great and seemed really happy,” a person who was at the party told People magazine.
While at the fundraiser, Britney was quiet most of the time and she “smiled and clapped during the video about autism,” the witness told People magazine. At the event were also Hugh Hefner and the three Girls Next Door (Kelly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt), as well as Charlie Sheen with Brooke Mueller and Robert Rodriguez with Rose McGowan.
Generation Rescue is dedicated to researching autism, attempting to “share the truth with families about the potential cause of their child’s Neurological Disorders so they can focus on effective treatments.”
The singer gave up her custody fight, but she gets to spend more time with her two sons. She reached a custody agreement with ex-husband Kevin Federline and she will get three visits a week, including two overnights, from her two sons, Sean Preston, 2 and a half years old, and Jayden James, aged 1 year and a half. Britney also has to pay Federline $20,000 a month in child support.
Britney will spend her summer in the recording studio as “she's working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters.”
“We’re very excited about what she's accomplished so far,” her manager, Larry Rudolph, and Jive records said in a statement, according to ABC News.

Amy Winehouse's husband gets 27 months in jail
lunes, 21 de julio de 2008 | Etiquetas: Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse's husband was sentenced Monday to 27 months in jail for assault and obstructing justice.
Blake Fielder-Civil has admitted beating up pub manager James King in a barroom fight in 2006 and then offering him $400,000 to keep quiet about it.
Judge David Radford told Fielder-Civil he had behaved in a "gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful" way.
Winehouse, who has regaled concert audiences for months with appeals for the release of "my Blake," was not at the London court.
Fielder-Civil has spent almost nine months in jail since his arrest, and could be freed in December, once he has completed half his sentence.
Three other men — James Kennedy, Anthony Kelly and Michael Brown — pleaded guilty to involvement in the plot. Brown received 33 months for assault and perverting the course of justice (the equivalent of obstruction of justice in the U.S.), while the other two received shorter sentences.
King, the assault victim, was acquitted by a jury last month of trying to pervert the course of justice. He said he was intimidated into withdrawing his assault claim in exchange for cash.
Winehouse and Fielder-Civil, 26, married in Miami in May 2007. He was arrested in November and has been in jail ever since.
She has become an international star since releasing the Grammy-winning album, "Back to Black," in 2006. But her music has been overshadowed by reports of drug use, run-ins with the law and her tempestuous relationship with Fielder-Civil.
Fielder-Civil's lawyer, Jeremy Dein, told the judge that his client was "of exemplary good character" and should be freed.
Radford said that while Fielder-Civil had no previous convictions, "exemplary good character" was stretching it, "if what I read about him and the use of drugs is true."
Dein said Fielder-Civil had an "intimate relationship with drug addiction," but that he and Winehouse were determined to rebuild their lives.
"It's their ambition to divorce themselves from hard drugs, not to separate themselves from each other," Dein said. "He knows that if he fails, an appointment with calamity awaits, not just for him, but for his wife as well."

Jordan wants Angelina Jolie to play her in a film of her life.
The British model and TV star, real name Katie Price, thinks the stunning actress would be the perfect choice to portray her on the big screen.
She also has a specific leading man in mind to play husband Peter Andre.
Jordan said: "I do really want to do a film about my life. I'm thinking Angelina Jolie could be me and Keanu Reeves for Pete."
Despite enjoying the glamour of Los Angeles during a recent trip, Jordan - who raises three children with Pete, Junior, three, one-year-old Princess Tiaamii and Harvey, six - insists she would never want to quit the UK for the US.
The brunette beauty said: "Britain is my home and always will be. We have a holiday home in Los Angeles and one in Cyprus, but I would never want to quit the UK."

Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon is said to be 'surprised' by the pop superstar's demanding nature.
According to Britain's Now! magazine, the pair -- who married in a secret ceremony in the Caribbean less than three-months-ago -- are already having problems.
A source tells the publication, "Things are really bad between them.
"The honeymoon period was over before it began.
"Nick's been surprised at just how demanding his wife is. He moans that she has him waiting on her hand and foot.
"He's realized that he doesn’t really like her very much."
The couple wed on 30 April after dating for just 5 weeks, and even Nick’s friends predicted the marriage wouldn't last 6 months.
"Mariah treats him like an assistant," a source said. "Not like an equal or her husband."

Britney Spears reaches custody agreement with ex-husband
sábado, 19 de julio de 2008 | Etiquetas: Britney Spears
Britney Spears has reached an agreement with ex-husband Kevin Federline allowing her more access to her children.
The singer will be allowed more overnight visits with her two sons, while Federline will retain sole custody, meaning a planned custody trial will now not take place.
Spears will now have three visits per week, with at least two overnight visits, with the possibility of expanded rights by the end of the year.
Neither party was present at the closed-door session in Los Angeles, reports the BBC.
Confirming that the singer will now get more access to Sean Preston and Jayden James, Spears' attorney Laura Wasser said told the Associated Press: "The fact is, it's a win for the family."
Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said: "This has been a long ordeal and to have that over is something that makes him extremely happy."
Spears lost custody of the two boys last October, losing visiting rights in January amidst ongoing public troubles.
But Ms Wasser pointed to the agreement as further evidence of her continuing recovery. "The difference from the beginning of this year to now is astonishing," she said.

Khloe Kardashian's stay in jail Friday may have been brief, but it did include a bit of drama: a jailhouse lockdown. The reality TV starlet spent roughly three hours in a Los Angeles area jail for violating probation stemming from a drunk driving arrest last year.
Shortly before her arrival, someone called in a bomb threat and the entire facility had to be locked down, Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
The threat was not related to Kardashian's arrival and she was placed in a holding cell for her safety, Whitmore said. The call turned out to be a hoax, he said.
Kardashian is the youngest daughter of late attorney Robert Kardashian and is featured on E! Entertainment Television's "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reality show.
A judge earlier this month sentenced the 24-year-old to up to 30 days in jail after she admitted violating her probation by failing to enroll in an alcohol education class and clean up roadside trash.
Jail overcrowding forced officials to release her early, just as they have with inmates, including other well-known personalities such as Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan.
"We treated Ms. Kardashian as we would any other inmate with similar charges and circumstances," Whitmore said.

A woman sacked by a boss who made "humiliating" remarks about the size of her breasts was awarded more than 30,000 pounds in compensation, a press report said Saturday.
Julie-Ann Reed, 27, told an employment tribunal in Exeter, said she was so stressed by the behaviour of Gerald Probert she became ill with depression, the Daily Telegraph reported.
She alleged Probert told her: "You should either reduce the size of your breasts or get some new blouses."
She also said Probert failed to pay her on time. When she complained he told her that her boyfriend should look after her and pay the household bills.
When she objected to his remarks he sacked her from her job at an estate agent's in Exeter where she had worked for seven years and been promoted to a 20,000 pound a year valuer and director.
Probert, a racehorse owner, who has since closed his estate agency business, did not attend the tribunal. Reed claimed unfair dismissal, unpaid wages and sex discrimination.
Tribunal chairman Hugh Parker said that on at least five occasions in 2007, Probert made personal comments about Reed which she found humiliating.
The Telegraph said no reaction was available from Probert.

Belinda Harris Reid has become the fifth contestant to be evicted from the Big Brother house.
The 44 year old theatre director had only joined the show two weeks ago as one of three new housemates.
She had been the bookies' favourite to get the boot against 24-year-old chef Rex Newmark, who was also up for eviction this week.
Belinda, who had kept much of the house awake with her snoring, received five nominations from her fellow housemates.
Contestant Michael said she was: "The biggest nosy parker I have ever met in my entire life".
"You can't have a conversation, it's like an interrogation," Stuart added. "It's like question time with Belinda."
It was the second time Rex had survived the public vote.
On the night Belinda entered the house, he was saved from eviction after Jennifer Clark was voted out.

It was understandable when Girls Aloud babe Cheryl Cole went stick thin after hearing of husband Ashley's alleged affair earlier this year.
But it looks as though the 25 year-old has lost even more weight despite the pair rekindling their romance.
The Geordie songstress looked gaunt and thinner than ever before during a Girls Aloud gig at Sandown racecourse yesterday.
In a revealing gold dress, Cheryl's usually ample cleavage had all but dissappeared as her collarbone protruded for all to see.
And pictured next to curvy bandmate Kimberley Walsh, Cheryl looked like a small boy.
This comes weeks after the singer admitted in an interview she had body insecurities and 'hated her legs'.
She told the Daily Mail: "I don't like my legs. I haven't got much of them for a start. It's just the thing that I don't like so if I was dressing myself I'd probably cover them up."
That's exactly what she did later on at the racecourse gig yesterday, when the band dressed up in PVC outfits, Cheryl was the only one who wore leggings.

Staff at the Nice, France, hospital where Angelina Jolie gave birth Saturday were left with lumps in their throats - after the Hollywood superstar's children presented her with flowers.
Accompanied by beaming father Brad Pitt, Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and 2 year old Shiloh each handed mom a single flower.

We usually hear of soap stars trying their hand at a singing career - not the other way around. But that's another mould Girls Aloud hope to break.
Yes, Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh, and Nicola Roberts - will feature in forthcoming online soap The Secret World Of Sam King.
Created by record label Universal, the soap, initially exclusively for users of website Bebo, will also feature appearances from some of the music biz's biggest names.
Razorlight, Duffy, Amy Winehouse, Katherine Jenkins, The Feeling and Bloc Party are among the stars tipped to appear.
A source close to Girls Aloud told the Daily Star: "They're all really excited - it promises to be a lot of fun. They've made a lot of really cool videos and appeared in the St Trinian's film last year.
"But this is the first time they've had the chance to show off their acting talents. It's no secret that several of the girls harbour ambitions to get into acting and this will prove a great showcase."
The plot follows a post-room kid at the record label who has big ideas. He's like a young Simon Cowell - brilliant at spotting talent.
He secretly sets up his own office at the back of a stationery cupboard and manages to turn new bands into the next big thing. Every adventure finds the main characters interacting with artists who play themselves.
A Universal Records insider added: "Girls Aloud are one of our biggest acts, and, along with others, will be making a tongue-in-cheek debut in Sam King.
"The girls love stuff like Bebo and are really looking forward to filming."

Hollywood actress Selma Blair is regularly propositioned by lesbians because of her three on screen girl on girl love scenes.
The 36-year-old, who split from her husband Ahmet Zappa in 2006, gained a massive gay following after locking lips with Sarah Michelle Gellar in 1999's Cruel Intentions.
She subsequently went on to film lesbian kissing scenes for last year's (07) Feast of Love and for upcoming movie Driving Lessons.
And Blair is convinced that many women often confuse her for a real life lesbian, according to the New York Daily News.
She says, "I have done three girl-on-girl kisses on-screen. And, yet, I've never done any (lesbian experimentation) in my real life.
"When lesbian friends tell me they're in love with me after our friendship has been cemented, it always shocks me."

Rex and Belinda Harris Reid are to face the public vote on Friday.
The 24 year old chef has been nominated for the second time while new entrant Belinda, 44, has irritated housemates with her loud snoring.
"I really get on with Rex but I find it hard to live with him, he's got a big head," Rebecca, 21, explained.

Darnell Swallow admitted that his nomination of his friend Rex was "a betrayal".
"I'm a backstabbing b*****d, but he totally doesn't want to be here.

Rex labelled Belinda's loud snoring as "ridiculous" and Stuart Pilkington complained that "you can't have a conversation" with the mother-of-two.
"It's like an interrogation," he added. "It's like question time with Belinda… about a week ago I loved swing music but now I hate it!"
