SUPERMODEL Naomi Campbell breaks new ground when she marks the start of work on London's Fashion Cafe today.
With three other catwalk stars, Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington, she plans to cook up a storm at their first themed restaurant outside the US - Fashion Cafes already exist in New York and New Orleans.
The Coventry Street site, near Leicester Square, should pose hot competition for Planet Hollywood, the successful cinema theme restaurant opened by filmstars Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Arnie Schwarzenegger.
Stephanie Beacham, the actress who stripped naked for Playboy when she was 23, says she would do the same again today aged 49.
Ms Beacham, who has two adult daughters, says in Woman's Own she would pose again for Playboy even though last time it cost her a valuable contract with cosmetic giant Elizabeth Arden. "If you look good, and feel confident in your own body and your sexuality, why not? I don't believe it's only young women in their teens and 20s who can be sexually attractive."
Former cricket hero turned politician, Imran Khan, says he is being hounded by intelligence agents and Pakistan is like a "dictatorship".
"I have my phone tapped ... I have a car following [me] all over the place," he said. Recalling that when Benazir Bhutto was a student at Oxford she was chased by intelligence people belonging to Mohammad Zia ulHaq, he said: "She is doing the same thing now."
