6 May 2008 10:32 PM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

She had to read for the part 12 times and developed a stomach ulcer for her trouble, but her show-stopping entrance made her an instant star. Scoot forward a few years and the all-American star with Cuban-German-English-Cherokee ancestry is still at the top of the A-list and has romanced a conveyor belt of dishy men to boot. As new flick What Happens In Vegas opens in cinemas across the UK this week, it's high time we found out more about Hollywood's golden girl.

1. Cameron attended California's Long Beach Polytechnic High School at the same time as rapper Snoop Dogg.

2. Cameron would love to switch lives with comedian Jack Black - at least for a while. She says: "I think of who I would want to . . .

McCarthy Rages At Vaccine Doctors

4 April 2008 10:30 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Model/actress Jenny McCarthy lost her cool on live TV in America on Wednesday night when she raged at medical officials about what she claimed are needless vaccinations.

The bubbly blonde, who is dating Jim Carrey, has become a leading advocate for alternative research into the causes and 'cures' for autism ever since her son Evan was diagnosed with the brain development disorder.

And when the three medical experts disputed McCarthy's claims that childhood vaccinations could be responsible for some autism cases on Cnn news show Larry King Live, the actress exploded.

Banging her hand on King's table, she scolded, "The increase (in immunisation) is ridiculous, you guys... It's plain and simple. It's bulls**t... Too many shots, too soon.

"My son 'died' in front of me due to a vaccine injury... and every week I get a picture sent to me of a child, following a vaccination."

McCarthy's five-year-old son was diagnosed with autism when he was two after he suffered a heart attack and was clinically dead for two minutes.

As the medics continued to dispute McCarthy's claims, linking vaccines to autism, the actress leaned across the table and said, "An increase in the measles, I'll take that way over autism any day."

Dickens Artifacts To Be Auctioned

3 April 2008 9:09 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

A writing desk and chair once owned by legendary author Charles Dickens are to be sold at a charity auction in London.

Dickens is believed to have written some of his later works - including Great Expectations - while sitting at the desk at his Gad's Hill Place home in Kent, England.

The furniture will go under the hammer at Christie's auction house in June, and is expected to fetch up to $160,000 (GBP80,000) for Great Ormond Street children's hospital.

In another separate auction, several works by Dickens will be put up for sale in New York on Wednesday (9Apr08).

The Kenyon Sterling Library is auctioning items including a special edition inscribed to novelist George Eliot and an original manuscript of the Pickwick Papers. The auction is expected to raise around $2 million (GBP1 million).

Many of Dickens' novels have been adapted for the big-screen - including the forthcoming animated film version of A Christmas Carol, which is to be voiced by Jim Carrey.

Carrey's Healthy Diet Keeps Him Young

28 March 2008 11:26 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Jim Carrey credits his healthy diet for helping him stay young. The energetic 46 year old insists his childlike attitude keeps him feel young and his "veggies and protein" diet keeps him healthy and looking younger.

He says, "No wheat, no dairy for me. I go crazy once in a while and have a pizza... but I do believe that the best fuel for humans are (sic) veggies and protein. It makes you feel great."

And he claims his new diet and regular trips to an acupuncturist have helped him deal with bouts of depression.

Carrey adds, "I tried dealing with it by taking (antidepressant) Prozac. It was good for a little bit, but it didn't heal me.

"It didn't get me to the bottom of my anger or frustration."

Now off his medication, Carrey states, "It's important to feel our feelings, and let things out to get to the bottom of things.

"It's Ok to say to your kid, `Daddy is going to cry now.'

"I take supplements. There are new (anti-depression) treatments not being offered to people.

"I am taking hydroxytryptophan and tyrosin - elements of the brain that are supposed to be there, but are short in a lot of people."
