Russell Brand kissed Sheridan Smith?

Actor-comedian Russell Brand was reportedly spotted kissing actress Sheridan Smith after a recent show here.

The BAFTA winning actress was also said to be spotted hanging out with Brand at a food festival last week. However, she has denied having any romantic link with the actor.

"Just had dinner with lovely friends. And yes they're wrong yet again. He's one of my best mates," Smith posted on Twitter, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Sheridan was previously in a relationship with director Reg Traviss, but she has said that she has never been out on a date.

"I've just filmed a drama called 'Dates', but I don't think I've ever actually been on one," she said.

"I haven't really been swept off my feet. I haven't been asked out, or maybe I would go. Then again, the idea of sitting opposite someone and making chit-chat - that makes me cringe. Everyone is obsessed with linking me up but I'm alright at the moment," she added. (Source)

"I just try to feel good in my own skin as much as I can," she added.

Singer-songwriter Georges Moustaki dies

Singer-songwriter Georges Moustaki died Thursday in the French Mediterranean city of Nice, his family said. He was 79.

A Greek native, Moustaki grew up in Alexandria, Egypt, and arrived in Paris in 1951.

He began performing at nightclubs and came to know masters of the "chanson française" such as Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel and Serge Gainsbourg.

Moustaki met Edith Piaf in the late 1950s and was soon writing songs for the legendary singer, including "Milord".

By the late 1960s, Moustaki was an established singer with hits such as "Le Meteque" and "Ma Liberte", even as he continued to write for other vocalists, among them, Yves Montand.

Suffering from a lung ailment, Moustaki retired from performing after a January 2009 concert at the Palace of Music in Barcelona.

"I have had a passionate life. I hope it will be that way until the end," he said in 2011. (Source)

Groom jailed for looting own wedding venue

A groom has been arrested and locked up for looting the club that hosted his wedding reception.

Christopher Richards, along with usher George Taylor and two others, stole booze, computers and DVDS worth nearly 23,000 pounds and caused damage worth 24,000 pounds during the burglary, the Mirror reported.

A court heard that six months ago, club boss Catherine Murphy gave the 25-year-old and his partner, Bridie Sparks, a half-price champagne buffet as the couple were broke.

In a statement to Burnley crown court, Catherine, 34, said that she was "tortured" by the betrayal and she also tried to kill herself.

Richards surrendered himself after CCTV caught him in the act at the Hub Club, in Bacup, Lancashire.

Judge Jonathan Gibson told the court that it was the most dreadful offence of commercial burglary, which left the owner devastated.

But pregnant Sparks, who was herself jailed for assault in 2011, said that she will stand by her husband.

Bridie, who has two children with Richards, will give birth to his third while he serves a six-month sentence. (Source)
