BAZ BAMIGBOYE: Nicole Kidman dances back on stage after 14 years

Nicole Kidman is in the early days of talks about returning to the stage, in a Terence Rattigan play about a man who leaves his wife for a younger woman.

If talks progress and a deal can be concluded, Nicole would star in After The Dance as Rattigan’s tragic character Joan Scott-Fowler in a production on Broadway in either the spring or autumn of next year.

An award-winning production of the play ran at the National Theatre in 2010 with Nancy Carroll, who gave a spectacular performance as Joan, and Benedict Cumberbatch as her novelist husband David.
Hitting the stage: Could Nicole Kidman soon be treading the boards again?
After The Dance charts how the Scott-Fowlers married for the hell of it during the rollicking Twenties. Their passions were ruled by their hedonistic lifestyle, not love.

But years later, love does enter the picture and the play becomes a heartbreaking exploration of repressed emotion.

A young, and rather irritating woman decides to take David away from Joan, and Joan is unable to tell her husband how deeply she cares for him.

The NT production, directed by Thea Sharrock, won much acclaim and took four Olivier awards, including best revival and best actress for the luminous Ms Carroll.

There has been much discussion about taking it to New York, but Broadway producers don’t want to take a chance on Nancy — which is a scandal.

Although she is one of our best actresses, she is unknown across the pond and producers are scared of mounting plays without the safety net of a big name.

Nicole has been keen to find another theatrical project since Sweet Bird Of Youth, in which she was to play Alexandra Del Lago (aka Princess Kosmonopolis) opposite James Franco, was postponed.

It would be the first time she has been on stage since making her stunning debut, at the Donmar and on Broadway in David Hare’s The Blue Room, directed by Sam Mendes, back in 1998.

Nicole will continue to talk to Ms Sharrock and others involved in the play and firm decisions are expected to be made in the coming months.

First, though, she will join Colin Firth and Jeremy Irvine on the film The Railway Man, as this column exclusively revealed last week.

Nicole and Colin are expected to be at the Cannes Film Festival in May to talk to distributors about The Railway Man and other projects.
Danielle attended the recent opening night of the musical 'Singin' in the Rain'
Danielle Hope sang On My Own from the musical Les Miserables on a TV talent show, little daring to hope that she would end up singing it for real in the West End.

The young singer, who won Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Over The Rainbow series to find a Dorothy for The Wizard Of Oz, will play Eponine in Les Miserables from June 18 at the Queen’s Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue — which means she’ll be able to sing On My Own eight times a week for the next year.

The cast change will also bring in Geronimo Rauch to play Jean Valjean, with Tam Mutu as his nemesis Inspector Javert.

Danielle, 19, wasn’t even born when Les Miserables was staged by Trevor Nunn and John Caird under Cameron Mackintosh’s eagle-eye at the Barbican 26 years ago.

‘Les Miserables is like a training ground,’ Danielle told me. ‘If you want to be in musical theatre, then you have to do Les Miserables. It’s a great way to train.’

The young star said she was particularly taken by Eponine’s tale of unrequited love, which is what makes On My Own so moving.

She said she learnt a lot working opposite Michael Crawford in The Wizard Of Oz at the London Palladium. Sadly, the Palladium box office has plummeted to red-for-danger levels since she and Crawford left the show last month.

Danielle starts rehearsals on May 14 and is looking forward to being in  Les Miz during the Olympic season  in London.

Cameron Mackintosh said she is the third actress he’d chosen to play Eponine to have come out of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s TV star-search programmes. The others are Nancy Sullivan and Samantha Barks, who were in the Oliver! show I’d Do Anything.

Ms Barks is playing Eponine in the film of Les Miserables, which started shooting on locations in southern France yesterday.

Claude-Michel Schonberg, Alain Boublil and Herbert Kretzmer have  written a new song for the movie called Suddenly.
The Sundance London Film festival runs at the O2 from April 26 to 29, and of the 14 movies to be screened, I’ve particularly enjoyed Liberal Arts, with Josh Radnor as a professor who returns to his old college and can’t  resist becoming friends with the fabulous Elizabeth Olsen.

Frankie Cocozza could be the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2012, after closing in on favourite Gareth Thomas

 Well, we didn't see this one coming

Frankie Cocozza may have been kicked off The X Factor for being a little prat, but it looks like Celebrity Big Brother viewers are lapping up his wild behaviour, with the Brighton boy set to become the new favourite to win.

The 19 year old is cruising towards the Celebrity Big Brother final, with his antics in the house over the last few days winning the audience over.

By managing to strike a balance between being straight talking and quite sweet, Frankie has crept into the position of second favourite to win, behind Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas.

Gareth is the only CBB housemate who isn't up for eviction this week

A spokesperson for William Hill said: “Gareth Thomas has been the favourite for a few days now but Frankie Cocozza has been the only person the people have been wanting to back in the last 24 hours.”

And with all of the housemates up for eviction apart from Gareth – who is pretty much the nicest person in the world – it looks like Nicola McLean will be getting the boot on Friday night.

Nicola annoyed viewers after pretending to kiss Frankie in the hot tub

The blonde glamour model is favourite to get the boot after being dubbed ‘fake’, with short tempered TOWIE boy Kirk Norcross and the sneaky Playboy twins also at risk of eviction.

There’s no way the brilliant Natalie Cassidy or admittedly quite funny Frankie will be leaving anytime soon though, with odds of 33/1 and 40/1 to go.

Ren Harvieu seizing second chance after horrific injury

Last year, Ren Harvieu was about to release her debut album when she sustained the back injury that threatened to leave her paralysed forever.

Today, as Ren, 21, supports her small delicate frame on a single crutch, hobbling up the pathway of an East London church venue, the after effects of the accident are still apparent.

Once settled inside in what passes for her dressing room, the little lady from Salford relates how some horseplay (not, at least on her part, alcohol fuelled) down by the River Thames took a disastrous turn. A pal leapt over a hedge, not realising Ren was crouched on the other side.

“I couldn’t really describe the pain,” she says. “I’d never even broken a bone before. There was a loud crack and... it was unbelievable. You kind of go in and out of consciousness. Then the ambulance arrived, I was given an injection and morphine became my best friend in the world.”

Her boyfriend, who accompanied her on the ambulance ride to the hospital, later told her she repeatedly sang the Sandy Denny/Fairport Convention classic Who Knows Where The Time Goes? on the journey. The two operations that followed each lasted 13 hours.

“But the weird thing was, they were convinced I was a drug addict,” says Ren, “because I wasn’t taking to any of the drugs. I don’t know why.

“When I came round from the operation I could remember everything, which is unusual. I’ve got some cool scars, though – shaped like a wishbone.”

After the operations, Ren was told that it was not just her mobility that could be affected, but the injury could have left her voice permanently damaged too.

“That complicated things,” she admits. “Then one day they wheeled me into this room on my own in a wheelchair. I started humming to myself and I could feel it was still there. If it was taken away I’d know because it’s such a part of me.

“My first trip out of the hospital was a day trip to do some recording. It was weird. No one knew what I was going to sound like. Then there was a big sigh of relief as it hadn’t affected my voice.”

After we speak, Ren takes the stage. She’s only performed in public 12 times, but the full range of her extraordinary vocal power leaves the audience stunned as the high-flown rapture of Forever In Blue sails high into the rafters.

Harvieu was 12 when she decided to make her singing debut in a school talent contest. A dreamy kid with two much older sisters – “kind of like having three mums” – and a folk singer father, she grew up besotted by music and movies, but had shown no previous inclination to perform. So her family were initially surprised by her decision.

“I sang Alicia Keys’ This Woman’s Work, a big grown-up song. I don’t know what made me do it. Someone else won though... she played the piano.”

Ren was discovered by her manager after putting demos recorded at a friend’s studio up on her MySpace site. She had quickly found that the local talent contest scene didn’t excite her.

“It was horrendous,” she grimaces. “It was the Salford version of X Factor with teenage girls in ballgowns singing Whitney Houston.

“Everything else in life was like a struggle to me, but singing seemed like the most natural thing in the world.”

Ren’s reputation soon spread far and wide. She’s spent time in Las Vegas planning a future collaboration with rap icon Nas and, when she was recovering in hospital, one of the first calls that came through was from The Smiths legend Johnny Marr.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Ren laughs. “Someone came in and said Johnny Marr was on the phone. He said, ‘I love your music and would love to do something together at some point’. That cheered me up no end. It blew my head off.”

She’s already being touted as the sort of one-off talent destined to take the place of late label mate Amy Winehouse – a small girl with a big voice, capable of bringing her own unique spin to past influences.

“At one point I didn’t think I would get better,” she reflects. “I remember being completely doped up lying in hospital thinking the label will drop me, won’t they?

“But knowing the sort of future I could have I did a lot of visualisation – being onstage, singing. What else are you going to do in hospital except dream?

“If something like that happens to you it will always be with you. I see life in a completely different way now.

“You’re completely helpless – you can’t clean or feed yourself. It gives you a lot of perspective as a person.

“The doctor said, ‘I don’t think this girl will ever walk again’. He reckoned it was the worst injury he’d ever seen. But I pushed every day to get out of bed and do physio, and that’s why I can walk now.”

? Ren’s new single Through The Night is released on Monday.

Moore opens up about rejection after Kutcher split

 DEMI MOORE opened up about her feelings of rejection and abandonment in a revealing magazine interview just two weeks after her split from husband ASHTON KUTCHER.

The Ghost star, and former wife of Bruce Willis, confirmed her six-year union to Kutcher was over in November (11) following weeks of speculation about the status of their relationship.

Now she has spoken out about her emotions for the first time, admitting she fears that after two broken marriages, she may never find her ideal man.

Moore tells Harper's Bazaar, "What scares me is that I'm going to ultimately find out at the end of my life that I'm not really loveable, that I'm not worthy of being loved. That there's something fundamentally wrong with me... The fight against gravity for me is to find that love for myself that gives me the courage to reach my fullest potential."

The actress also admits she was crushed by the breakdown of her marriage but she's slowly recovering from her heartache, adding, "I used to think that what scared me was the idea of being abandoned until someone said to me, 'Only children can be abandoned. Adults can't be abandoned because we have a choice.'"

The beauty is now on the mend and, offering up her greatest words of wisdom from a pal, she says, "Somebody wrote something to me that said, 'Don't let your wounds become someone you're not.' That's really powerful."

Tilton inspired to tackle TV contest after death of fiance

 DALLAS icon CHARLENE TILTON was inspired to take up a place on DANCING ON ICE following the death of her fiance two years ago (Dec09).

The actress will compete against stars including former child actor Corey Feldman and Sugababes singer Heidi Range in the ice skating series when it launches this weekend (08Jan12).

Tilton, who is reprising her role as Lucy Ewing in the upcoming new Dallas season, opted to take up the challenge because she wants to grasp every opportunity since losing her partner, cinematographer Cheddy D. Hart, to a lung condition in 2009.

She tells The Sun, "I decided to do it because my fiance passed away at Christmas two years ago. It was unexpected and was right in front of me. It really made me realise we are not guaranteed our next breath, our next heartbeat - only God knows.

"I thought, 'I'm going to take every opportunity life brings.' I want to live life to the full."

Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch 'distraught' after home is ransacked

The couple - who live in a ?4.5 million mansion in Cheshire, North West England - were "distraught" when they returned home to find the property ransacked by thieves, with Christmas presents, luxury Rolex watches and a number of rings belonging to the 25-year-old model having gone missing.

It is thought the burglars had been watching the house and waiting for the couple to go out before forcing their way in through a kitchen window on Tuesday, before being disturbed when the soccer star and his wife returned home.

A friend of the pair told MailOnline: "Abbey and Peter must have disturbed the burglars when they heard their car coming up the drive.

"They believe there were several men in the house."

Fortunately, the couple's nine-month-old daughter Sophia Ruby was being looked after by Abbey's mother at the time of the incident.

A pal added to the Daily Mirror: "Abbey and Peter are naturally distressed that this has happened, particularly in the run-up to Christmas."

It is thought Abbey called police - who are launching an investigation into the burglary - as soon as she and the 30-year-old sportsman returned home.

A spokeswoman for Cheshire Police said: "Thieves broke in to the house via a kitchen window, stealing jewellery and electrical items."

However, this isn't the first time Peter - who bought the Cheshire mansion, which features a gym, a swimming pool and a cinema, from retired England cricketer Andrew Flintoff three months ago after signing for Premier League team Stoke City - has been targeted by burglars.

In 2006, his home in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, was raided, with thieves stealing football memorabilia, champagne and jewellery and his exclusive Aston Martin car worth a total of ?200,000.

George Michael released from hospital after pneumonia scare

 George Michael has been released from hospital and is flying back to England today.

The 48-year-old pop star has been receiving treatment for pneumonia at the AKH clinic in Vienna, Austria, for weeks but after making a recovery from the illness he was discharged from the medical centre at 08.00am and was taken straight to the airport so he can be at home for Christmas.

A hospital staff member told Austrian newspaper Osterreich: "He's feeling a lot better. He's doing so well, he's able to fly again."

Yesterday, the singer's doctors revealed he was feeling much better and had responded well to treatment.

Christoph Zielinski - one of his doctors - said: "We know he's doing fine and we are generally optimistic."

Last week, the singer's boyfriend Fadi Fawaz claimed the pop superstar would be flying back to England for Christmas.

He said: "Christmas at home. I cannot stop smiling today, the best day ever. He is getting better and better. Nothing to worry about, happy days."

George had to cancel all the remaining shows on his 'Symphonica Tour' when he fell ill in November.

On The Buses writer dies after fall at home

Along with his writing partner Ronnie Chesney, Wolfe created much-loved catchphrases such as "I'll get you, Butler" in the series set in a London bus depot.

Chesney - whose partnership led to the duo being known as the "the other Two Ronnies" - said it was "like losing my brother".

The pair worked with some of Britain's most popular comic actors over the years, including Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor, Beryl Reid, Dame Thora Hird and Benny Hill.

But Wolfe will be best remembered for the saucy comedy On The Buses and The Rag Trade, starring Miriam Karlin, who also died in June.

The writer died yesterday as a result of banging his head on Thursday after falling down stairs at a respite home in London.

His son-in-law Arif Hussein, married to Mr Wolfe's daughter Kathryn, said he was a "wonderful" man.

"He was the kind of father-in-law most people dream about, absolutely.

"Most people talk about their in-laws as people who are interfering, but to me my in-laws were a dream. Ronnie was, from day one, he was absolutely wonderful."

On The Buses was commissioned by ITV after being rejected by the BBC, despite the success of the writer's earlier show The Rag Trade. They created unforgettable characters such as Reg Varney's bus driver Stan Butler, Blakey the fist-shaking inspector, and romeo conductor Jack Harper.

The success also led to spin-off films.
Wolfe had been a radio engineer, then moved into scriptwriting in the 1950s, when he and Chesney created the ventriloquism comedy series Educating Archie.

In 1961 they launched BBC series The Rag Trade - later revived 16 years later by ITV - featuring the well-worn catchphrase "Everybody out!" from bolshy shop steward Karlin.

Other popular shows included Meet The Wife with Dame Thora and Don't Drink The Water, which featured Blakey, played by Stephen Lewis. Less celebrated shows included Yus, My Dear starring Arthur Mullard and Take A Letter Mr Jones, with John Inman.

Paying tribute to his partner, Mr Chesney said: "We were together 50 years - it's like losing my brother."

Wolfe's family also spoke warmly of the grandfather of four's life. His wife Rose said it had been an "unexpectedly sad end for a guy who was so funny in life".

"He was the most incredible husband and we had 58 years of superb marriage harmony," she said.

"I acted as his secretary and PA and typed and computed for him, doing all the work he ever put out."

Wolfe had two daughters, Debbie, 52, and Kathryn, 55, a university lecturer.

Kathryn said: "My fondest memories of my dad are that he was the funniest, most generous person I could have wished to have.

"He was funny in public, with the huge legacy left behind, and funny in private.

"We are going through boxes of funny letters he wrote to me as a child.

"I couldn't have wished to have a better father."

Selena Gomez Cancels Concerts After Mom's Miscarriage

She was so excited to become a big sister, but Selena Gomez now finds herself going through the saddest of situations after her mother suffered a miscarriage.

As she mourns the tragic loss, the "Wizards of Waverly Place" star has announced that her two weekend Christmas concerts are canceled.

The news comes after Miss Gomez joyously announced her mom's pregnancy via Twitter last month, writing, "Momma and (stepfather) Brian are finally letting me share the news. My mommys carrying my baby brother or sister. I'm the happiest girl in the world."

Following Saturday's (December 17) miscarriage, Selena's rep told press that her B96 Jingle Bash 2011 and 106.1 KISS FM's Jingle Bell Bash performances have been cut due to the "family emergency."

Charlie Sheen's £7k bail frees ex after drugs arrest

The actor stepped in after Brooke Mueller's parents refused to help.

They are said to be furious she has gone back to drugs.

Actress Mueller, 34, was arrested in the ski resort of Aspen, Colorado.

Cops found 4g of cocaine in her purse and she was charged with possession with intent to supply. She faces up to ten years in jail.

She has twin sons with Sheen, 46, who has had his own drug battles.

Katie Price lifted by Glasgow crowds after stressful week

KATIE PRICE hasn't had the best of weeks.

The former glamour model said she felt physically sick after a suspected tracking device was discovered under her Range Rover.

A mechanic found the GPS while doing routine work on the pink SUV and it understandably made the 33-year-old concerned for her children's safety.

Katie was as strong as ever though and shrugged off the whole affair so she could continue her book tour in Glasgow, where a heaving crowd came out to greet her.

Hundreds descended on the St Enoch Centre to have their copy of Katie's book signed by the star herself.

Jordan arrived in a grunge-inspired knit jumper which she wore over a T-shirt with the word 'Smile' printed across it.

She finished the look off with leggings and a pair of gorgeous black high heeled boots.

And Katie hasn't let the disturbing discovery put her off meeting fans as she jetted off to Edinburgh for yet another meet and greet afterwards!

Eddie Murphy quits as Oscars host after Brett Ratner resigns

Eddie Murphy has quit as the host of the 2012 Academy Awards, it has been announced.

The comedian's departure coincides with producer Brett Ratner's resignation following his recent controversial remarks.

Murphy said in a statement: "First and foremost I want to say that I completely understand and support each party's decision with regard to a change of producers for this year's Academy Awards ceremony.

"I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I'm sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job."

AMPAS president Tom Sherak, who supported Ratner prior to his exit, commented: "I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well."

Ratner was signed on to produce next year's Oscars but he caused controversy after he described rehearsals as being "for f*gs" during a Q&A for his latest film Tower Heist starring Murphy.

The director said: "Rehearsal? What's that? Rehearsal's for f*gs. Rehearsal. Not much. A lot of prep, preparation, complex action sequences, visual effects."

He has since apologised for his remarks, and Sherak said that Ratner will not be penalized for his gay slur.

Next year's Oscars is expected to air on February 26.

The Rejects Factor: Bosses call in the cast-offs after Frankie's X Factor departure

Axed X Factor tearaway Frankie Cocozza will be replaced by one of the show’s rejected acts.

The college drop-out yesterday returned home unrepentant after being ejected for boasting about taking cocaine.

Show bosses said the four X Factor contestants who were dropped in the first live show will now vie to re-enter the competition in his place.

They each exited without facing a public vote after their own mentors were forced to choose who they should sacrifice.

The public will be able to decide via a phone vote whether James Michael, Amelia Lily, 2 Shoes or Jonjo Kerr should get a second chance alongside the six remaining acts in the competition.

X Factor bosses will confirm the details of how the vote will be run today. But it may leave the show open to criticism that it is cashing in on Cocozza’s departure if it starts charging for another vote on top of the normal one.

An X Factor spokesman said: ‘The four acts have never been in a public vote so, with Frankie leaving the competition, this is an opportunity for the public to decide who comes back to the show.’

Cocozza arrived back at his family home in Brighton yesterday with a minder provided by the X Factor in tow. However, he offered no apology for his antics.

After his third change of outfit of the day, the 18-year-old left home at 6.30pm, looking as though he was planning on another evening of partying.

He is still under contract with show producers TalkbackThames and Syco as all contestants sign a six-month deal that prevents them from signing up with any other management.

Nevertheless, as he returned to the care of his mother, dinner lady Tina Pynn, his step-father Mick Pollard hit out at X Factor bosses.

He said: ‘I think Frankie has been handled badly by everyone.’

His demise came after he met Becca Hills and Katherine Holland, both 19, at London nightclub Funky Buddha and then went to a West London house with them.

He later admitted to X Factor production staff that he had taken cocaine during his night of partying – causing his shock firing on Tuesday.

There is no suggestion the young women had anything to do with any drug-taking.

Last night they were together once more at Miss Holland’s parents’ home in Ashford, Kent.

Miss Holland works as a sales assistant selling Calvin Klein underwear while studying for a degree in graphic design at the University of Kent.

She said yesterday: ‘We feel sorry for Frankie after everything that’s happened to him on the X Factor.

Kris Humphries 'doesn't want Kim Kardashian ring back after divorce'

Kris Humphries is said to be taking his split from wife Kim Kardashian "day by day".

The pair married in a $20 million fairytale ceremony in August. However, Kardashian filed for divorce on Monday after only 72 days of marriage.

Humphries, who recently cancelled an appearance at a Las Vegas party amid the break-up, has reportedly insisted on ending his relationship with Kardashian in the most amicable manner possible.

"He's getting through it day by day. It's a tough situation. It's not an easy position for anyone," a source explained to People.

"He's a gentleman and wants to make things right - the ring, and any gift he gave her, was out of love and he doesn't expect them back. He has made concerted efforts to try and return the gifts to their guests. They're figuring it all out."

Kardashian recently pledged to donate $200,000 to the Dream Foundation for the gifts she received at the wedding.

The reality star cancelled her Australian tour on Thursday, pulling out of a scheduled appearance at the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

12 arrests after Westminster demo

 A large group reportedly gathered in Parliament Square in a pre-planned demonstration over proposed

At least 12 people have been arrested by police after a large group of protesters staged a demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament over plans to criminalise squatting.

At least 12 people have been arrested by police after a large group of protesters staged a demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament over plans to criminalise squatting.

Around 150 people gathered in Parliament Square in Westminster shortly after midnight in the pre-planned demonstration, according to reports.

BBC Radio 5 Live said a number of scuffles broke out between police and protesters, with officers using batons and loud hailers in an attempt to disperse the crowds.

The majority of protesters moved away from the scene peacefully, but around 50 people refused to leave claiming they were holding a Halloween picnic, it was reported.

They were held within a police cordon and a number were arrested before the area was cleared by around 3am, eyewitnesses said.

Scotland Yard confirmed that 12 arrests have been made in connection with the incident, but said the number could rise.

Politicians are due to debate the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill later which proposes that squatting is made a criminal offence.

Under section 132 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act (Socpa) - (April 2005), organising or participating in an "unauthorised" demonstration within 1km of Parliament is a criminal offence.
