Marcia Cross

So many times, celebrities rely on the fail-safe black for their red-carpet outfit of choice.

But black can get a little boring and, with its ageing effects, celebs are having their eye caught by a new universally flattering shade - green.

Now, don't read any further if you don't like spoilers, even of the non-confirmed variety.

Teri Hatcher has been talking about what's in store for her Desperate Housewives character, Susan.

Beads are in, in a big way.

And the celebs have been quick to pounce on this easy trend.

Weddings take so much organisation - all to make sure that the biggest day of a couple's life goes without a hitch.

Of course, things don't always go according to plan.

The wedding season is here and the stars of Tinseltown are making the most of it.

Nicole Kidman tied-the-knot down under while a Desperate Housewife got hitched in California.

With all the chat about a new Dallas movie, it was with great timing that the TV Land Awards decided to honour the original cast of the eighties oil soap.

JR and Bobby, Cliff and Sue Ellen - it was like living the dream all over again...

First we heard that Jennifer Lopez and John Travolta had been cast in the new big-screen version of hit soap Dallas.

So, we were a little bit sceptical when Geri Halliwell's name was thrown into the mix by gossip mongers.

Teri Hatcher is clearly determined to clear up any chat that those Desperate Housewives don't get along.

And what better way of doing it than indulging in a full-on lip smacker with one of your co-stars?

She's famous for playing uptight perfectionist Bree Van De Kamp in Desperate Housewives.

But it seems Marcia Cross doesn't share her character's tight-lipped discretion in real life.

We already know some of the stars who are reportedly lined up for the new movie version of classic TV series Dallas...

But there are still two big names jostling for one of the key roles.

Poor old Scarlett Johansson.

The A-list actress had some rather unwanted attention on the red carpet at the Golden Globes when an interviewer groped her shapely bosom.

Brokeback Mountain just pipped Walk The Line to the Golden Globe post with four gongs.

And although some of the British big hopes such as Keira Knightley and Judi Dench will be putting their ornaments back on the mantelpiece, Rachel Weisz walked away with the best supporting actress gong.

We began the year with Brad, Jen and Busted splitting up and ended it with Take That reforming and Elton John marrying David Furnish.

It was also the year when Kylie got cancer, Kate Moss was rocked by a drugs scandal and Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey called it a day.

It's the biggest indication of what might happen at the Oscars - and it looks like 2006 could be a bumper year for Brokeback Mountain.

It leads the nominations in the film categories with seven mentions.

Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross has opened her heart about how she met her man, confessing he'd been buying flowers for another woman at the time.

Asked if it was true that she had met stockbroker Tom Mahoney, 47, in a Hollywood florist, she said: "Yes, but don't worry, I didn't do anything inappropriate."
