Heather Graham and Oscar nominated actor Benicio Del Toro starred in a Calvin Klein commercial - before either of them was famous. The Obsession commercial, which took just a day to shoot, aired way before the pair were well known. And although Graham admits it was a pleasant experience kissing the hunky actor, she insists Del Toro hasn't got anything on her current boyfriend Heath Ledger. She says, "It was a while ago, and Benicio's a very sexy guy, but I like my boyfriend."

Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't put on weight - he's just beefed up, claims the producer of his latest film Gangs Of New York. DiCaprio, who is currently filming in Rome, Italy, has sparked a slew of reports of massive weight gain, and set tongues wagging when he refused to be photographed at last month's prestigious Rudolph Valentino film awards in Rome. But Graham King, the Executive Producer of the Martin Scorsese- directed project, insists the whole weight issue has been taken out of context - he says DiCaprio's just been working out. King says, "I think there was some misguidance about working out and putting on weight. Scorsese told him to go and get buff and work out for the role, and the press all mistook that when he came back and was bigger. He actually looks great, and a lot of the press in Europe were saying how much he had gained weight and bloated out but I took a lot of people to the set to see him and they were just amazed at how good he looks." And King adds, appearances aside, fans of Leo are going to see a whole new side of DiCaprio when the gangster movie hits cinemas. He says, "I think you're going to see a more edgy Leo than you've seen before. One thing The Beach did prove is that he is a very very good actor and there's evidence of that in this."

Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson is taking a crash course in being a loving husband - trailing around after new wife Kate Hudson on a three hour shopping spree. The Oscar-nominated actress dragged her man around Malibu's swanky Cross Creek shopping district, from shop to shop, trying out all the latest fashions and exclusive bath lotions. Looking worn down by his day at the mall, Robinson gallantly carried Hudson's purchases, but onlookers thought the delights of married bliss had worn thin by the end of the day. One fellow shopper said, "He was really patient, but by the end of the day I think he'd got a bit fed up with shopping. You could sense a bad vibe when they got to the car, I think he'd had enough."

Sigourney Weaver is convinced her decision to change her name must be genetic - because her parents did the same thing. And now that daughter Charlotte is keen to follow mom's example and change her name, Sigourney, born Susan, feels sure it's a family trait. She says, "I was called Susie or Sue - all these silly little names, and I just wanted something a little more substantial. My daughter's the same - she wants to be called Max because it's like a tough little name and Charlotte is this old Victorian name. It all started with my parents - my mother's name is Desiree and she's called Liz and my father's name is Sylvester and he's called Pat. Maybe it's a mutation in the family."

Outspoken British television presenter Anne Robinson has received a menacing death threat after insulting viewers. Anne, 57, who hosts the British Broadcasting Corporation's hugely popular The Weakest Link show, caused controversy after branding Welsh people "irritating" on a BBC comedy chat show. Police now fear she may become a target for a fanatic outraged by her anti-Welsh remarks. According to Britain's The Sun newspaper, a BBC source says, "Anne has been informed about the threat and as you would expect is coolly taking it in her stride." But detectives could charge the fiery star with inciting racial hatred.

Politically correct parents Jude Law and Sadie Frost relented and bought their son Rafferty some toy guns - after he started pretending all his other toys were firearms. Jude, who plays a sniper in his upcoming film Enemy at the Gates and Sadie had decided to keep their little boy away from toy guns in the hope he wouldn't develop violent tendencies. But they soon discovered their decision didn't really count for anything. Law says, "You know what, my son is four, and I made this decision when he was two. Me and my wife were like, 'Right, we're not going to buy him guns.' And he just kind of did that thing where he picked up a pen and made it a gun. But it's kind of bizarre, there seems to be this natural, inherent, genetic thing in boys. And someone told the same story about a girl where they said, 'We're not going to buy our daughter dolls because we think that you shouldn't have gender-led toys.' And she picked up a pillow and wrapped it in a blanket and it was her doll. So, yeah, he's got a couple of guns."

The makers of The Mummy Returns have been forced to change ancient Egyptian history - because they don't want their film to become one long-running joke about breasts. Rachel Weisz's archaeologist character in the sequel actually turns out to be a reincarnation of Nefertiti, the wife of King Amenhotep IV but director Stephen Sommers feared the Egyptian queen's name would be used for boob gags. Weisz explains, "They changed my name to Nefeteri and I thought it had something to do with superstition, but they were just worried that Nefertiti sounded like 'titties'."

Heather Graham's boyfriend Heath Ledger got himself in a few sticky situations when he first moved to America - because he didn't understand the language. Heather has been reading up on Australian slang so she and Ledger can understand one another - but it wasn't always easy for people to understand what the Aussie hunk was talking about. Heather explains, "The word thong means flip flop in Australia, and when people talk about Christmas they're talking about Summer. So he was getting in trouble when he was talking to American acting agents. They'd ask him what he does in Australia at Christmas, and he'd answer, 'Well, you know, we just all sit around in our thongs and take it easy.' He didn't realise they thought he was sitting in his g-string."

British actress Rachel Weisz has tasted the fire & brimstone preaching of soul legend Al Green - and admits it's a terrifying experience. A lifelong fan of the singer, who is now a gospel minister in Memphis, Tennessee, Weisz felt she had to see her hero in action during a recent road trip from New Orleans to New York. She says, "We stopped off at Graceland to buy Elvis Presley necklaces, and then we saw Al Green preach at this church. It was an incredible experience. He sang and he preached. He said, `Hands up everybody who wants something from the Lord, ' and we were just standing at the back looking round and we didn't put our hands up. "He said, 'You two ladies at the back, you don't want nothing from the Lord?' and we just threw our arms in the air and we were like, `Yeah we do, honestly we do.' There was also this visiting preacher - a little eight-year-old boy in a pin-striped suit talking about how you have to shake the snake - the snake being the devil."

James Caan has lashed out at the American Navy for covering up past mistakes. The actor stars in TV movie A Glimpse Of Hell, which airs in America this weekend and claims the film - about the 1989 peacetime disaster onboard the Uss Iowa, which took the lives of 47 sailors - has really opened his eyes. A Navy investigation following the accident, where a gun turret exploded onboard the Iowa off the coast of Puerto Rico, discounted evidence of mechanical and material malfunctions and poor training, but Caan urges those who still have questions about the "cover up" to watch the movie. He says, "Basically, the Navy screwed up. I'm a very American guy - I pledge allegiance to the flag and the government - so I'm the last person to say the Navy sucks, but in this case they did. And they still refuse to admit they screwed up." In the controversial TV movie, Caan plays the Iowa's veteran commander Captain Fred Moosally, whose chance of being promoted to admiral is threatened by the disaster.
