Britney Spears' acclaimed stint on U.S. sitcom How I Met Your Mother hasn't earned her an Emmy nod - she and Mary-Kate Olsen's guest TV spots won't be among those competing for gold.

Both stars have been left off the top 10 list of Emmy semifinalists in the Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series category.

Instead, Sarah Silverman is a favourite for her part as an obsessed stalker in Monk, alongside Oscar nominee Amy Ryan for her star turn in The Office.

Others on the list include Carrie Fisher and Edie Falco for 30 Rock, and Polly Bergen and Shirley Knight for Desperate Housewives guest spots.

The awards will be handed out on 6 September.

I interviewed Quentin Tarantino once, three days after Kill Bill Vol. 1 was released. He was very excited, naturally, because the film debuted very well. We talked about a few things (for instance, he'd pick karaoke over Carrie Fisher, which I thought was surprising), and among the topics of discussion lo those many years ago was his war movie, Inglorious Bastards.

Qt said at that time that it would be his next film (Kill Bill Vol. 2 was already filmed, because they were originally one mammoth production, later cut in two). Well, his next film, as it turned out, was the extremely bad Death Proof, a film apologists tried to defend with shots like, "It'll become a classic on DVD" and "It suffers because it's at the end of a double feature."

Well, the DVD has been out for a while and I'm not sure it's become more legendary and

Mark Hamill was jealous when his Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford went on to carve out a more successful film career, according to fellow castmate Carrie Fisher.

Hamill played lead character Luke Skywalker in the hit film series and Fisher is convinced the actor was sure the role would lead to a long, prosperous stint in the movie industry.

But Hamill subsequently failed to score any more high profile films, while Ford went on to become an A-list star.

And Fisher admits Hamill was always disappointed he didn't achieve the same.

She says, "(There was) some jealousy. Harrison had this huge film career by the second or third film, that was tough for Mark.

"He was like, 'This wasn't supposed to happen - it's the adventures of Luke Skywalker.'"

Actress Carrie Fisher had to be taped into the famous gold bikini she wore in 1983's Star Wars epic Return Of The Jedi - to stop her suffering an embarrassing costume malfunction.

Producers on the sci-fi epic were so worried about Fisher's breasts falling out of the skimpy bathing costume on set, they firmly taped the garment to her body.

She says, "I had to tape them (my breasts) down, because there's no underwear in space. George (Lucas, creator) knows that for a fact.

"That bikini didn't move, so you could see all the way to Florida."

And when asked where the famous outfit has ended up, she jokes, "George has it - he wears it all the time."

Carrie Fisher has admitted that she had a fling with Harrison Ford while filming Star Wars.

The pair have always denied rumours of a romance but Fisher said they "got very close" on the set.

The actress, who played Princess Leia to Ford's Han Solo, said: "I went on the film saying, 'I'm going to have an affair', like it was a kiwi, an exotic fruit - because I had never had one.

The pair are long rumoured to have been romantically involved while shooting the classic movies - something they have both denied.

She says, "I went on the film saying, 'I'm going to have an affair', like it was a kiwi, an exotic fruit - because I had never had one."

And the 51-year-old admits she was impressed by Ford's good looks.

She adds, "I had a crush on Harrison for sure. Harrison is great fun when he's had a few drinks."

Award-winning author Sir Salman Rushdie has denied rumours he is dating American athlete Aimee Mullins.

The British author has ruled out a relationship with the 31-year-old star by revealing she already has a boyfriend.

And Rushdie, 60, confesses he is tired of denying romances since his marriage to TV presenter Padma Lakshmi ended last year.

He says, "Only a couple of months ago I was in love with Carrie Fisher apparently. Before that I was having an affair with a Bollywood actress.

"Aimee is a dear friend of mine - and so is her boyfriend."
