Sharon Stone goes from gangster to moll at Elton John's charity gala

At 51, she has tried almost every look in the book.
But these days, it seems Sharon Stone is done with obeying the rules of fashion and just wears whatever she pleases.
The result of this was something like gangster-meets-moll as she arrived in New York for a charity party.

Mamma Mia! 2: the songs won't remain the same

Mamma Mia! has broken so many records – highest-grossing musical ever, highest-grossing film in the history of UK cinema, most genuinely baffling box-office success in the history of time – that a sequel was always on the cards. Now, according to Amanda Seyfried, who played Sophie in the film, it's looking closer than ever.

"I've been talking to some insiders and it's not something that they haven't been working on," Seyfried told BBC News this weekend. Before any real work can start on a second Mamma Mia! film, however, a few problems need to be ironed out.

The first, obviously, is the punctuation to use in the film's title. Mamma Mia! 2 makes the most sense, but Mamma Mia 2! scans better. Then there's Mamma Mia 2!? which is probably the inflection all sensible people used when they first heard about the sequel. And then there's the problem of Pierce Brosnan's voice, though we can ignore that because nobody seemed to think it was much of a concern when they were making the first movie.

Madonna raises $11 mln for Malawi charity: report

RIO DE JANEIRO — Madonna has raised 11 million dollars from Brazilian millionaires for her Raising Malawi Foundation, the daily Rio O Dia reported on Monday.

The US pop star, who visited Brazil to stroke the country's wealthy into giving, notably won an unspecified pledge from the country's richest man, mining magnate Ike Batista, who has an estimated fortune of 7.5 billion dollars.

Madonna, 51, was accompanied during her fund-raising by 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus de Luz, whom US and British gossip pages have referred to as her "toy boy".

Her Raising Malawi Foundation, started in 2006, finances humanitarian projects in Malawi, the southern African country where Madonna has adopted two children.
